Space in today's paper
The newspaper delivered to our doorstep seems to have come out with a space special edition - although it doesn't mention it.
The front page carries the pictorial representation of the story that a US missile has hit a space satellite. It states that India, which expressed worry in the Chinese testing case expressed remained silent on the US act.
The editorial comments about life on Titan at the cost of life on Earth. It's an interesting commentary and seems to be written by someone who has read a lot about space and space literature.
The op-ed page carries news articles from Reuters about the formation of steps on Mars and some stunning images of the lunar eclipse which India, unfortunately did not witness.
And on the last page of the same paper is a serious advertisement by the Aliens Group. The Group does construction company based in Hyderabad. Probably, didn't have much time to think of another name or tried to be different. But, things get to a head with its new advertisement of a building that it calls : Space Station - 1.
The small description below reads: 'Experience 30 floors of intelligent living at Aliens Space Station, situated in Hyderabad'. Thanks for the clarification that it's in Hyderabad and not in some other galactic system. It eased a tense situation at home (Thank you!!)
