First Chinese spacewalker is being celebrated as a national hero. (Builders of Beijing soundstage banished to Outer Mongolia.)

SpaceX reaches orbit with two stage Falcon 1 rocket. (My wife has suddenly started calling me “dummy payload.” Thanks, private enterprise.)

Hubble Space Telescope has stopped sending data back to Earth. (Last photo from satellite rumored to show Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster camping out on Olympus Mons.)

Bad Astronomy digs a Spirograph out of the attic to help clear up a myth about the Moon’s orbit. (Lite Brite constellations planned for 2009.)
