Life in Space Hoaxes to Microfossils From Orgueil Meteorite
The article traces space life ideas from ancient Greek speculation to 19th century canal hoaxes and 1843 New York Sun moon life stories. It details George Claus and colleagues examining Orgueil meteorite fragments, finding 26 to 31 microfossils, various interpretations, and debates about contamination, authenticity, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life supported by chemical clues and fossil-like structures.

Oldsters doubtful of space
New York report by Hicks and Greist Inc cites Trendex survey results showing older people hold more negative views on space exploration and believe the program spends too much. Younger audiences tend to be more favorable, possibly due to better understanding and optimism about the program’s national role.

From Spark Plugs to Fluorine Fueled Rockets
Washington reports John L. Sloop, once a spark plug expert at Lewis Research Center, now leads NASA's promising chemical propulsion program funded to pursue high energy fuels. The agency backs fluorine engines, aiming for denser, more powerful rockets, with safety measures drawn from Sloop’s plug cleanliness experience.

Now chickens wear contacts
Santa Rosa report of calf eye glasses for chickens by Al Schriner. Tests describe molded plastic contact lenses held by lids, claiming low cost around three cents per pair versus fifteen dollars for human lenses. They reportedly distort vision rather than improve it, but allow chickens to see enough to peck grain.

Proton beam brain surgery test yields brain regeneration
A Brookhaven cyclotron experiment on a sleeping monkey opened the skull to beam high speed protons into the cortex, destroying a layer but leaving deeper cells alive. Over weeks, adjacent cells grew new connections, demonstrating mammalian brain regeneration and suggesting how memory storage might be rebuilt after injury. Researchers note limits, including brain injury from accidents not regenerating.
