“After almost 25 years and more than 115 million miles, space shuttle Atlantis is down to just one final mission – but it will be going out on a high note. STS-132 will deliver to the International Space Station the Russian Rassvet Mini-Research Module-1, only the second Russian module to ever be carried into space by a space shuttle. It’s a fitting final payload for the orbiter that not only launched the first into space, but also was the first shuttle to dock to the Russian Space Station Mir – in fact, Atlantis was the shuttle behind seven of the 11 shuttle missions to Mir.” Found on nasa.gov.

“The mere act of kindness, or one of evil, can boost willpower and physical strength, a new study suggests.

But evil acts appeared to confer similar and perhaps even greater superpowers.” Found on LiveScience via Newsarama.
