The Suborbital Corporation, a Russian space company, has developed a reusable ship for space tourists who can pay $100,000 to spend three minutes in zero gravity on a suborbital flight. This may seem like a lot, but it?s much less than the $20 million that the first space tourist, Dennis Tito, paid. Suborbital is working with the U.S. company Space Adventures. The ship is expected to become operational in three years and 100 candidates have already signed up.

The three-seat S-XXI ship has room for a pilot and two passengers and relies on technologies developed for the Soviet Buran space shuttle, which made a flawless unmanned flight in 1988 before the project was dropped for lack of funds.

The images were made between October 1 and December 15, 2000, as Cassini approached Jupiter. This is similar to the ?Face? on Mars, which was first observed long after the images had been taken.

The report says the Earth?s rising temperature is changing songbird ranges, altering migration behavior and diminishing some species? ability to survive.
