 The unmanned Progress 29 Russian cargo freighter lifted off yesterday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan towards the International Space Station. Aboard are two tons of the usual supplies, including fresh clothing, food, and other cargo. Also aboard are 90 snails that will live on the station for five months (in their experiment container) before being returned to Earth to die in the name of science: examining the effects of long-term space occupancy on organisms.

 Giving themselves a decade to put it together, Roskosmos – the Russian Space Agency – and the ESA are partnering to create a new type of manned spacecraft. According to Roskosmos, the craft could carry up to six astronauts and would launch from a new space facility currently under construction in Siberia. Russian engineers will be responsible for building the crew capsule, while the ESA will construct and supply the disposable launch and support systems.

 Among more than 1000 documents from the late 1970’s and early 80’s are some interesting bits. Responding to a number of freedom of information requests about the British government’s UFO reports, the National Archives of the United Kingdom are opening up their files to the public. The first of several batches to be released over the next few years offers explanations for most all UFO reports, but there are still a few that remain unexplained. That said, there Ministry of Defense has not found any evidence of alien activity or alien spacecraft – just things that couldn’t be explained.

 While the Vatican now recognizes that the Earth in fact is not the center of the universe and has posthumously pardoned our dear friend Galileo Galilei, the head of the Catholic Church is not yet ready to admit that there are aliens. Nevertheless, in an interview with The Vatican’s semi-official L’Osservator Romano newspaper, the church’s chief astronomer Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes said that the notion of extraterrestrial beings “doesn’t contradict our faith.”

 I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to a new (hopefully) running feature here on TrekUnited, the “How would you change...” series. Every now and then we’ll pose to you a segment of Star Trek, be it a series or a movie or whatnot, and ask what you, in retrospect, could have been done better. This time we’ll be looking at just the original three series run from 1966 to ’69, so here we go: how would you change Star Trek (TOS)?

 In a brief interview with Rolling Stone magazine, JJ Abrams was, as you can expect, pressed about ST09. The producer/director remained coy as always, simply saying “It looks at the formation of the core characters from Star Trek, so it serves as a prequel, but more than that.”

 Seems I remember writing this article before. That’s because I have. As of Christmas 2007, Star Trek was still on track for a Christmas 2008 release. Three months ago, Paramount Pictures delayed Star Trek to May 9, 2009, confident that the film will be a summer blockbuster. Since then we have learned a good deal about the film, including casting and getting a glimpse of the first teaser trailer. Or replaying it a hundred times over. Whatever your level of excitement about the film, we’re sure to have an interesting year ahead of us.
