Timeline #27
2004: Though the Mars Spirit rover only had a 90 day mission, its outstanding engineering and performance enabled it to extend its mission over a staggering 2269 days. It diligently did its duty until it got stuck in soft sand that it couldn’t break free of. After several failed attempts to mobilise it again over a period of months, it slowly lost its ability to recharge its battery fully, and ended up losing all communication. It remained a hero right until the end.
Timeline #29
2004: Marking the dawn of a new era in space exploration, SpaceShipOne makes the first privately funded human spaceflight in history. Many see this as the future of space travel as government space budgets dwindle.
Timeline #30
2011: The ISS has grown into a majestic satellite complex, boasting a permanent human presence in space. The Space Shuttle Atlantis is seen departing the ISS for the final time. This mission, STS-135, is the final one of the American Space Shuttle Program and possibly marks the end of NASA’s manned missions to space.

Darwinian Crowdsourcing
Chances are if you went to a party at Chuck Darwin’s house in 1868 you would have been a bit taken aback by the naturalist’s newest hobby. Instead of discussing the finer points of natural selection and inheritance in the light of Gregor Mendel’s recently published “Experiments in Plant Hybridization” (which Darwin was actually unaware of), he probably would have shown you these pictures.
The popularization of early photographic techniques in the 19th century allowed Darwin to conduct an impartial psychological experiment on the gut reactions to human expression. It was part of his search for universal core emotions, a debate that still goes on today (although nonhuman primates like chimpanzees appear to recognize them). Twenty-four people were presented with these photos and others, in order to collect their interpretation of the expressions shown (or forced).
Last year, the Darwin Correspondence Project invited the online world to take part in the experiment. 18,000 people responded, and you can view the expanded results of Darwin’s strange emotional experiment nearly 150 years after his original version.
