In the largest solar flares of this solar cycle, a strong geomagnetic storm racing from the Sun was expected to reach Earth this morning.

Don’s Soyuz launched from Baikonur this morning. The ride is different from last. Instead of a fairly spacious shuttle, Don is crammed in a small capsule with two astronauts and will be so until Friday when they are scheduled to dock with the Space Station, just in time for Christmas and New Year.

In Baikonur, preparing to leave the planet definitely more lightweight than he's used to, American Astronaut Don Pettit penned his thoughts on what makes an explorer.

He came home in a ball of fire, crashing on the Kazakh tundra in a scorched rocket head. The next time we sent him off from Cocoa Beach. Yesterday an email from Baikonur arrived: in a few days Don is returning to the tin can, on the Soyuz this time. Meanwhile, the meteorite hunters have hit the ice.

Many polar skiers will tell you that no place on earth feels so much as landing on another planet as does the touch down on Antarctica.

"Exploration can't wait for perfect times and it never has. The Universe expands every second and has no use for stagnant and skittish species." Today's editorial by the founders of ExWeb touches on the last voyage of the shuttle in a perspective of explorers.

Next Friday, the final Space Shuttle launch is scheduled. What will this mean to the industry, and the very soul of America? "It is the end of an era. It is not the end of the world," said Elliot Holokauahi Pulham, CEO of the Space Foundation, in a newsletter sent out yesterday.

"If I was to picture the private space game in a casino setting, here's what I'd see," writes Tina Sjogren in this closing editorial that also includes a report from the week's Space symposium. This entry wraps ExplorersWeb's 5-part special Space series.

Unlike some other players, Robert Bigelow has been systematic, low key and particular with his personal $500 million bankroll. Perhaps it is because he already built a successful business brick by brick. Or maybe because he learned his game in Las Vegas.

When we first started to cover Elon Musk in 2004, few knew his name. The PayPal co-founder was just another internet millionaire space buff trying to build his own rocket. But at some point things started to speed up.

Virgin Galactic "last degree" trips will be cheaper and much easier than a full trip to ISS. Only trouble is that Virgin's max altitude will still leave the tourists a good bit below Big S. To reach "real" Space we must return to the good, old rockets.
