It's just as well that NBC's reality show Destination Mir may be headed for the scrap heap. The premise of the proposed show, devised by Survivor guru Mark Burnett, was to send a group of average Joes to space camp, pick a winner and then launch that person into orbit.

Minister of Higher Education Pays Tribute to Country's Nasa Scientist - Zibb.com
Tunis, Oct 08, 2008 (Tunisia Online/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) --
During a ceremony organized at the headquarters of the Ministry of higher education scientific research and technology, Mr Lazhar Bououni, paid tribute to the Tunisian scientist Mr Mohamed Laoucet Ayari, scientific advisor at the American National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA), and stressed the desire of his ministry to strengthen ties with foreign universities.
The minister also noted that the tribute paid to the Tunisian scientist was an opportunity to make better known the work and competences of Tunisian scientists abroad.
Among his many scientific achievements, Dr Ayari recently set up a system, using an electronic telescope capable of detecting and observing the lunar crescent.
The invention, which will facilitate the observation of the lunar crescent in spite of adverse weather conditions, will save considerable time and efforts to determine the position of the lunar aster in setting up the beginning of religious holidays or events.
The Tunisian scientist, expressed his commitment to increase efforts in order to contribute to Tunisia 's aura abroad, as well as his willingness in giving conferences in Tunisian universities, so as to make to enable Tunisian students to benefit from his expertise.

NASA Site Uses Advanced In-Situ Chemical Oxidation for Successful Subsurface Soil and Groundwater
SAN CLEMENTE, CA, Sep 23, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
E-Wire -- The National Aeronautics & Space Administration's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FL, has undertaken aggressive groundwater and soil remediation to treat an area of on-site petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. Faced with the challenge of removing the contamination while maintaining the integrity of underground utilities, piping, and infrastructure, NASA and its consultant Tetra Tech chose RegenOx(TM), a proven, non-corrosive, and cost-effective in-situ chemical oxidation technology developed by Regenesis (San Clemente, CA).
The Launch Equipment Shop, part of NASA's famed Vehicle Assembly Building complex, has conducted highly specialized manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly work for the space program since the early 1960s. Leaks from a 4,000-gallon underground fuel oil tank, subsequently decommissioned and removed, led to notable contamination of soil and groundwater, including a layer of light non-aqueous phase liquid up to 15" thick, with total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbon (TRPH) levels as high as 20,000 parts per million (ppm) in soil and 42 ppm in groundwater.
The tank and 178 tons of readily accessible contaminated soil were excavated and properly disposed of early on, but other, harder-to-reach contaminated soils had to be left in place beneath and near building foundations, where essential underground utilities were located. Although Tetra Tech's engineering evaluation identified excavation as the preferred approach for remediating the remaining contamination, the cost of excavating the hard-to-reach soils was prohibitive, at over $1 million. After examining alternative remediation technologies, in-situ chemical oxidation (the application into the subsurface of highly reactive chemicals, which chemically oxidize and destroy contaminants on contact) was chosen as a more cost-effective means of site remediation. Most conventional in-situ chemical oxidation chemistries were ruled out, however, due to their corrosivity and tendency to generate intense heat and/or explosive pressures.
