THE WORLD NEEDS A U.N. SPACE FLEET
WE WILL TAKE NO FRONTIERS INTO SPACE!
We aim to create a space agency of all nations - a United Nations Space Fleet, in order to:
- keep war out of space and off other worlds
- develop re-usable orbital launch vehicles, thus bringing the cost of access to space down
- give humanity a lifeboat from environmental disaster on Earth by establishing self-sufficient colonies on the Moon and Mars

Salty Water on Enceladus!
|
|
PASADENA, Calif. -- For the first time, scientists working on NASA's Cassini mission have detected sodium salts in ice grains of Saturn's outermost ring. Detecting salty ice indicates that Saturn's moon Enceladus, which primarily replenishes the ring with material from discharging jets, could harbor a reservoir of liquid water -- perhaps an ocean -- beneath its surface.

NASA's Kepler spacecraft has begun its search for other Earth-like worlds. The mission, which launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on March 6, will spend the next three-and-a-half years staring at more than 100,000 stars for telltale signs of planets. Kepler has the unique ability to find planets as small as Earth that orbit sun-like stars at distances where temperatures are right for possible lakes and oceans.

Firstly, the Spacefleet Association site will be moved to a top page at http://spacefleet.org.uk"
Secondly, all existing members will be emailed shortly, informing of the changed web site.
Thirdly, it may be a good time to relaunch the Spacefleet Association as one more sharply focussed on the aim of creating an international space fleet.
