I can't really fit any more programs on my pc, but I'm always up for some space exploration. Sometimes I don't need any technology at all, just kinda get spacey on my own. ;D
cool pictures DB, if you spot any other mind blowing stuff out there, I'd be grateful to see the shots.

Fuckin' eh, man, will do. I'm a space exploration fanatic myself (not on the shabbos of course), but really get into the history of space exploration.
Having said that, check out.........Nasa chief hails new era in spaceThe head of Nasa has hailed a "new era" in exploration after the launch of the first cargo delivery to the space station by a private company.

Cool Android app, M5. I'm going to check if they have anything like it of my iPhone. Who knows, now my next cell phone might have to be Android based. ;D
