# Outerspace Sailing Ship Unveiled. BERLIN (AP) - Just as early explorers
  reached new continents in sailing ships, so will humans sail out into the
  solar system - but by harnessing the power of sunlight instead of wind.
  That's the vision of a group of engineers who unveiled a prototype solar
  sail designed to capture the energy of the sun and transport humans and
  cargo through space without engines or fuel. It can do it at speeds of
  223,220 mph, nearly 10 times as fast as the U.S. space shuttle and quick
  enough to get you from Los Angeles to New York in a little over a minute.
  "This is our mission, to project mankind beyond the loneliness of our
  own solar system," said Nersi Razavi, whose Paris-based company Star
  of Tolerance is the first to contract the solar sail for commercial
  use. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567142802-657

: Have you sailed to any new planets/stars/galaxies/universes lately? Do the
Reptilioids depend on solar sails? Are they incredibly patient? Can we hope
to out-wait them? Whaddya do if you sail tears when you're between stars??

# Space Weather News for June 7, 2000. Following close on the heels of yes-
  terday's two X-class solar flares, a third powerful X-class flare erupted
  today at approximately 1545 UT.  Soon after, coronagraphs on the orbiting
  Solar and Heliospheric Observatory detected a faint full halo coronal mass
  ejection. It appears to be heading in the direction of Earth at ~800 km/s.
  This latest full halo CME will probably extend the geomagnetic disturban-
  ces expected to begin Thursday when an interplanetary shock wave spawned
  by a CME on June 6 collides with Earth's magnetosphere.  Aurora watchers
  are advised to be on the alert for Northern Lights beginning after sunset
  on Thursday, June 8. For more information: http://www.spaceweather.com

# Scientists push new life origin theory. One of the greatest mysteries is
  how life emerged on primeval Earth.A new theory postulates the spontaneous
  replication of lipid molecules. "The accepted notion of the creation of
  life is that prior to the appearance of living organisms,there was a stage
  of chemical evolution, which involved  selection within inanimate chemical
  mixtures.This is thought to have eventually led to the crucial moment,when
  self-replicating molecules arose.As self-replication is a most fundamental
  characteristic of living entities, such an event is often defined as the
  birth of life." Hi there. http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal060702.html

# NEW BREED OF VIRUS TARGETS HANDHELDS. Computer security wonks intercepted
