Fast Company Neal Ungerleider	NASA's Space Station Robot Gets Legs The latest SpaceX delivery to the International Space Station, which took off on Friday from Cape Canaveral, included some unusual cargo: legs for NASA's robotic space station helper.
Chemistry World April 15, 2014 Martin McCoustra	Life beyond Earth In my view, this book by Coustenis and Encrenaz would be a good base for a short course on astrobiology as opposed to astrochemistry. The observational content is well written and clearly explained in a most readable fashion for the non-expert.
Chemistry World March 20, 2014 Victoria Druce	Rocket girl: the story of Mary Sherman Morgan, America's first female rocket scientist Rocket girl is a book about discovery: the discoveries of Mary Sherman Morgan; the discovery of space; and the author's discovery of a woman shrouded in obscurity -- the mother he barely knew.
Chemistry World March 12, 2014 Katia Moskvitch	Saturn's largest moon home to prebiotic 'soup' Scientists should expand their quest for life in other worlds by searching for any kind of liquid, not just water, say researchers.
Chemistry World February 27, 2014 Simon Hadlington	Quantum tunnelling sparks chemistry on cold surfaces Chemistry in deep space could be more diverse than thought after the discovery that larger atoms can quantum tunnel.
Chemistry World February 25, 2014 Sophie Nixon	Astrobiology: a very short introduction This book, by David Catling, covers all areas of the subject, from the difficulties of defining life, to the search for Earth-like planets.
Chemistry World February 12, 2014 David Bradley	Chemicals on rotation in a stellar nursery Protostars have been shown to act as nurseries for some interesting chemistry, as well as stars.
Fast Company March 2014 Jon Gertner	Why Companies Are Lining Up To Test Golf Clubs (And Other Products) On The Space Station Since its launch the space station has mainly served as a place in which astronauts from NASA and foreign space agencies conduct experiments involving health and the physical sciences. It was never intended to help private companies improve their products and market share.
Chemistry World February 6, 2014 Colin John Humphreys	Science, religion and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence This book by David Wilkinson would be ideal for anyone interested in the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere else in the universe. I will be buying it for someone myself.
Chemistry World January 12, 2014 Andy Extance	Rocket reactor forces space hydrogen rethink Scientists have pushed low-temperature experimentation and computational chemistry to their limits to better understand hydrogen fluoride, which astronomers use to study regions of space that are otherwise hard to image.
