Walking in Space and the Lack of Black Holes

China has now sent up another manned space mission. This one is supposed to involve a space walk, moving China one step further in the space race--the space walk is supposed to happen on Saturday.

In other tech news, it seems that the Large Hadron Collider will be out of commision until next April, so any question about the formation of a black hole that will eat the Earth is delayed (since this is about as probably as an artichoke eating the sun, I wasn't worried anyway).

And for no particular reason, here's a picture of Saturn's rings taken in July (credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute):
