A Washington-based venture capitalist, Walt Anderson, has will invest up $21 million to lease Mir and renovate it for money-making purposes.

By using Chandra to resolve a small area of sky they determined that 80% of the background glow was actually discrete x-ray sources, most of which are radiation from galaxies, and giant black holes at their centres. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_603000/603514.stm X-33 SEES DELAYS FROM FAULTY FUEL TANKS NASA was hoping to test fly the X-33 spaceplane this summer, but it looks like the flight will be delayed because of leaky fuel tanks. How long they will be delayed is unknown, as the graphite-epoxy tanks may need to be completely replaced with aluminum alternatives. http://cnn.com/2000/TECH/space/01/14/space.plane.ap/index.html http://www.foxnews.com/science/011400/spaceplane.sml http://www.flatoday.com/space/explore/stories/2000a/011400k.htm HUGHES UNLOADS satellite BUSINESS Hughes Electronics announced that it has sold its satellite systems business to Boeing for $3.75 billion in cash.
