From the stratosphere 10,000 metres above the Earth to a dive chamber nearly 50 metres under the ocean, professional daredevil and human guinea pig Ryan Stock and his fiancee AmberLynn Walker are back for another season. Putting his body on the line - all in the name of science - Ryan is set for an all new batch of chellenges that will stretch beyond the limits of human endurance.
[12/12/2007] --Researchers digging in Antarctica have stumbled upon a new giant, plant-eating dinosaur that dates back to the Early Jurassic period, about 190 million years ago. Named Glacialisaurus hammeri, the dino is a primitive sauropodomorph - a group of dinosaurs that produced the largest animals to ever walk the earth, including the long-necked herbivores, Diplodocus and Apatosaurus.

[12/10/2007] -- The latest addition to the International Space Station won't be lofted into orbit until at least January, after not one but two fuel gauge sensor failures caused NASA to postpone a planned weekend launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Then, an additional sensor failure caused mission managers to close the December launch window altogether.
[12/10/2007] -- The first team to announce it will attempt to land a robotic rover on the Moon's surface and cash-in on a $20 million prize will rely on Canadian technology firms to build their systems. Odyssey Moon is the first entry into a competition that literally shoots for the Moon: Google is funding an X PRIZE that will see teams compete to land a robotic rover and send back hi-definition pictures before 2013.
[12/1/2007] -- The future of sunbathing South American tree frogs is under a cloud -- literally, reports a UK-based research team. Scientists from the University of Manchester, the Manchester Museum and the Photon Science Institute (PSI), are applying physics to investigate the effects of global warming on tree frogs, as well as the unique properties of their skin.
[11/30/2007] -- The hostile environment of the planet known as Earth's twin was much more Earth-like in the distant past and awash in large quantities of water before a devastating event transformed it into a planet toxic to any life, according to a new study.
[11/28/2007] -- The small, misshapen, dark moons named after the Roman gods of fear and terror have been images by the most prolific Mars probe to date, according to NASA. Usually the Mars Reconnaissance Oribiter keeps its gaze turned downwards towards the Mars surface. But over the last several months NASA has turned the orbiter on its side and switched to a different instrument as the orbiter moved through Martian nightfall.
[11/28/2007] -- Voyager 2 will soon pass the boundary marking the outer-edge of our solar system and the Sun's influence, according to a new study. The two Voyager probes have travelled further than any other human creation.
[11/26/2007] -- Viewing digitally-altered photos can affect the way you remember and perceive historic events, a new study suggests: A team of American and Italian researchers has found that when they presented participants with digitally-altered images depicting the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing and a 2003 anti-war protest in Rome, the participants recalled these events inaccurately.
