NASA: Russian Space Woes No Worry New Planet Best Bet Yet for Life Ancient Crocodile Dubbed 'Shieldcroc' Malaria Death Toll Twice as High Mid-Atlantic Wind Farms Get a Boost New Lung Cancer Test Helpful NASA says it still has confidence in the quality of Russia's manned rockets, upon which it relies to take crews to the ISS, despite embarrassing glitches and failures in the Russian space program. A newly discovered planet orbiting in the habitable zone around a distant star is the best candidate yet observed for supporting life, U.S. astronomers say, because it's neither too hot nor too cold. Researchers have identified a new species of prehistoric crocodile and dubbed it "Shieldcroc" due to a thick-skinned shield on its head. The critter is the earliest ancestor of our modern crocodiles. Malaria may be killing around twice as many people as experts previously thought, and it could also be hitting older children and adults, long considered the least susceptible, a new study says. The view off the mid-Atlantic shore in the next decade could include giant wind turbines generating electricity for homes in several states if federal efforts to speed approval for the projects work. A new lung cancer test predicts the likelihood of death from lung cancer more accurately than conventional methods, according to two studies by an international team led by scientists.
