** NASA mission controllers must make some key decisions as the twin Mars
exploration rovers sit poised at critical junctures in their operational
lives. Controllers have begun calling the rovers' current status "bonus
time," because Spirit and Opportunity have surpassed their expected mission
lengths by more than a month. Now, however, the question is whether to
gamble on that success and send the rovers into more challenging -- and
perhaps more hazardous - situations. --SpaceDaily
** China will send at least two astronauts into outer space in the fall
next year, and they will stay there for at least one week, reported
Thursday's The Beijing News, citing Yang Jiachi, academician of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences (CAS). --SpaceDaily
** The FCC has extended the deadline to file reply comments in its
broadband over power line (BPL) proceeding, ET Docket 04-37, from Tuesday,
June 1, to Tuesday, June 22. --ARRL
