Have you signed up for a flight with Virgin Galactic? Maybe it's time you meet some of your shipmates.

The
Science Channel
is joining in the Space Week festivities with some appropriate shows, including a documentary on the new Orion spacecraft. We don't get the Science Channel here in Canada, so Tivo it for me. (Thanks to the
