U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered aid on Tuesday to boost ties with the Muslim world and urged Israel, the Palestinians and Arab countries to move beyond recrimination in the search for peace.
“We are determined and persistent in the pursuit of that goal,” she said in a speech at a development forum in Morocco attended by Arab ministers. After a weekend of heated words about the perceived U.S. tilt towards Israel on the issue of settlements on the occupied West Bank, Clinton said it was important for all sides to “be careful about what we say” and avoid angry rhetoric.
Moon Crash, Moon Blast
Moon Crash, Moon Blast, This obviously doesn’t qualify as “celebrity gossip,” but when the lunar surface is being destroyed — all in the pursuit of water — I like to talk about it. United States space agency NASA is bombing the moon in order to see what lies beneath its rock and dust surface. Oh — and this little “mission” is only costing American taxpayers a measly $79 million smackers.
Nasa’s LCROSS project hunted water on the moon by bulldozing two spacecrafts into the crater early Friday. The impact kicked up a cloud of debris that will be analysed for traces of water. The above video shows a simulation of the bombing, but you can head here for a play-by-play of this morning’s mission.
