# KEY SPACE STATION MODULE DELAYED FOR MONTHS. The long-delayed Internat-
ional Space Station has been postponed once again due to flaws in a
booster rocket, while Russia's Mir space station may get a new lease on
life. The launch of the crucial crew compartment for the multibillion-
dollar, 16-nation space station has been long behind schedule because of
the Russian government's failure to provide funds for its manufacture.

# NASA returns disputed desk set. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - NASA stopped short
of determining whether a desk set it seized from an Oregon woman contained
valuable moon dust as suspected and quietly returned the family heirloom.
The black base of the pen-and-pencil set is adorned with a faded picture
of the Apollo 11 moon landing, with a centerpiece of a yellow plastic rock
containing dusty swirls. The set was given to Peg Davis by her late father
Joe Healy, upon his retirement as a scientist at NASA. The agency seized
it about a month ago, alleging that Davis was either trying to defraud the
public or was illegally trying to sell NASA property. Davis caught NASA's
attention when she had the desk set appraised for possible sale.

: What's your favorite dusty swirl? Is it Lunar? Has your agency seized many
heirlooms? Do you have enough moondust? Can you ever have enough moondust??

# Injured by a UFO. I had a close up daylight sighting on July 10, 1998 in
Brick, NJ, several miles from McGuire AFB. I watched this UFO float slowly
from horizon to horizon and it passed directly over me. The sky was clear,
the ship was perfectly visible & was not distorted in any way. It radiated
a strong white light. The symmetry of the ship and it's overall appearance
made it clear that it was manufactured, not a natural phenomena. A few
days later, the skin on the palms of my hands started to peel in little
dime sized circles. 5 or 6 weeks later, a bright dime sized blister app-
ared on my chest; it looked like a melanoma. http://caus.org/mu011200.htm
: Have UFOs injured you lately? Have you filed charges against them? Do you
have a good lawyer? Do the ETs have better lawyers? Who can afford the best?
