OTHER NEWS
In the Star Trek world they refer to time quite frequently, but the latest annoucement on Trek XII's release date is anything but fiction. The sequel was originally
slated for a June 29, 2012 release, but has just been bumped back to May 17,
2013, where it will take the spot vacated by Roland Emmerich's "Singularity" which moves to November 2013. The
entire cast is set to return.
Though many find the idea of remaking "Robocop" borderline sacrilege, in a recent interview director Jose Padilha said that his version of the film will focus on a very particular area that the first film glossed over: "In the first "Robocop" when Alex Murphy is shot, gunned down, then you see some hospitals and stuff and then you cut to him as "Robocop". My movie is between those two cuts. How do you make "Robocop?"
There will be a new Q in the next James Bond film. 31-year-old British actor Ben Whishaw has been cast as James Bond's gadget man Q in director Sam Mendes' upcoming Bond flick "Skyfall"
The European Space Agency announced Wednesday that a ground
station in Australia heard signals from Russia's marooned Phobos-Grunt
Mars mission, but prospects are fading for the probe to reach the Red
Planet as scheduled next year. A tracking station in Perth succeeded in contacting Phobos-Grunt, a
29,000-pound, truck-sized probe designed to retrieve samples from the
largest moon of Mars and return them to Earth. Officials have been unable to contact Phobos-Grunt since a problem
prevented the craft from exiting Earth orbit and accelerating toward
Mars after liftoff Nov. 8.

NASA is expecting some 13,000 people to attend the launch of its newest
Mars rover on Saturday (Nov. 26). The Mars Science Laboratory or
Curiosity rover, is scheduled to lift off at
10:02 a.m. EST. Following the retirement of the space shuttle fleet,
NASA hopes to carry some of that interest over to its robotic planetary
science missions which have traditionally drawn fewer spectators than
manned launches. The state-of-the-art, one ton rover is NASA's most
sophisticated Mars mission to date. Following the launch, the spacecraft
will embark on an 8 1/2-month
cruise to the Red Planet, with a planned arrival in August 2012. Once on
the surface, the rover will study the planet's geological history, and
whether it is or has ever been habitable.

SCIFI NEWS QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Never give in - never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small,
large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good
sense. Never yield to
force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." - Winston Churchill
