Allies in Space

    The second annual Allies in Space lecture on 'America's future in 
space' is on Saturday 4 November 2006 at 13:00 at the City University 
Graduate Center. The Center is on Fifth Av, between 34th and 35th 
Streets, Manhattan. This year's lecture features three noted figures 
in the US space program: Dr Richard Gott, Dr Neil Tyson, and Dr George 
Whitesides. The show is free and open to the public, just come on 
over. Details are at 'www.alliesinspace.org'. 

Atlantis Shuttle launch
 ---------------------
    Shuttle Atlantis was slated for liftoff in late August. Due to 
storm Ernesto, which may intensify over Florida, the Shuttle may be 
moved back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. If so, launch may take 
place in early September. 
    As at late August, Hayden Planetarium and Cradle of Aviation 
planned live telecast of the liftoff. Please check with them for 
updates.
