With the announcement of its World Community Grid, Big Blue may have paid a compliment to SETI@Home, the five year old Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project that relies on millions of home computers to ferret out possible calls from ET. We also listen in as JPL and Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne win new awards. Emily wonders when night comes in a double star system, and Bruce Betts has a new title for the NASA Administrator in What's Up!
