Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 In 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo Program, NASA sent Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on a mission to the Moon. Only 55 hours into the flight, disaster struck when an explosion rocked the ship draining the essential oxygen and power. This book chronicles the full story about this moon shot which has been described as the successful failure. This is the book that the movie Apollo 13 was based on staring Tom Hanks.

Extractions: The two ESA astronauts are part of a group of international astronaut candidates, in which the Canadian, French, German, Italian and Japanese space agencies are also represented, who will train for 22 months as mission specialists for future Space Shuttle and International Space Station missions. Pedro Duque, born on 14 March 1963 in Madrid, Spain, was selected in May 1992 to join ESA's Astronaut Corps. He trained at ESA's European Astronaut Centre in Cologne and at the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, Russia. He was stand-by crew member for ESA's 30-day Euromir 94 mission and served as primary Crew Interface Coordinator for that Mission. Duque was also the Alternate Payload Specialist for Shuttle mission STS- 78 in June-July this year. Christer Fuglesang, born on 18 March 1957 in Stockholm, Sweden, was selected in May 1992 to join ESA's Astronaut Corps. He trained at ESA's European Astronaut Centre in Cologne and at the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, Russia.

Extractions: ASI is the agency sponsoring this flight and the related experimental programme, under the terms of a framework agreement between the European Space Agency on the one hand and the Russian Aviation and Space Agency (Rosaviakosmos) and the Russian company RSC Energia on the other. The mission is a further mark of Europe's determination to intensify its fruitful cooperation with Russia, as ESA's Director of Manned Spaceflight and Microgravity, Jörg Feustel-Büechl, confirms: "Roberto Vittori's mission to the International Space Station is another important milestone in the Euro-Russian cooperation which is contributing to the strategic development of both partners. It is one of a series of flight opportunities for European astronauts; the next is planned for October". A test pilot and Lieutenant Colonel in the Italian Air Force, Roberto Vittori, one of three Italian astronauts selectioned by ASI in the European Astronaut Corps, will be Flight Engineer on the Soyuz vehicle, alongside the Russian Soyuz Commander, Yuri Gidzenko, and Flight Participant Mark Shuttleworth, from South Africa. He will spend 8 days on the Russian segment of the International Space Station.

Extractions: In a press interview, his son Michael Tito put it this way: "Africa is his favourite continent, with it's spectacular red and brown hues. What a thrill! Who wouldn't want to do this? My father is pursueing his dream. He's obviously having the experience of his life. He's sitting up there, looking out the port hole, listening to opera music, and getting his money's worth." Talgat Musabayev , and Flight Engineer Yuri Baturin , who flew with him from the Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard the Soyuz TM-32 , were satisfied that he is a good spaceman. "Dennis is no nuisance, in fact, he is trying to help us. We have to explain to him some things which cannot be learned on Earth as we would do to any other novice Cosmonaut. But basically, Dennis has dealt smoothly with both crews." said Musabayev.

Extractions: Web posted at: 10:40 a.m. EST From Correspondent John Holliman (CNN) Training for her 142-day stay aboard Russia's Mir space station took astronaut Shannon Lucid to a weightlessness- simulating airplane and to the Russian cosmonaut training center for months at a time. The 53-year-old biochemist has learned as much as any American about the Russian space station. And as she prepared to set up housekeeping there, her big worry was language. "That has been the all-consuming (task), what has taken up all our time," she said. "I don't think anybody has a concept of how difficult that is." Since all Mir's control panels are in Russian, knowing the language when an alarm sounds will be important to her. But perhaps even more important as she prepares to live on Russian-prepared food with cosmonauts who speak almost no English will be isolation from her family and from her culture. "I told my family on pain of dire consequences that every night I expect them to send an E-mail message," she said. ( 170K AIFF sound or 170K WAV sound Besides getting daily E-mail from her husband and three grown children, Lucid will have regular news updates. She watched CNN International while training in Russia, and has made arrangements to watch CNNI broadcasts live on a regular basis. (

Space Adventures, the world leader in space tourism, announced today the official approval of its Orbital Flight Pre-Qualification Program by the Russian agencies responsible for cosmonaut training. The Space Adventures program provides individuals with space flight training and medical assessment, and can pre-qualify a potential candidate as eligible for a flight to the International Space Station (ISS). "We are very excited to offer this unique opportunity for all those who have dreamt of becoming astronauts. There are so many people worldwide who want to fly to space, but this is the only way to see if they have the 'right stuff' for such a flight without having to be a career astronaut or cosmonaut," said Eric Anderson, CEO of Space Adventures, Ltd.
