What's next for the moon? India appeared set to launch an ambitious mission to become the fourth country to send a rocket up earlier this week, but the attempt was

scrubbed

with an hour to go. Meanwhile, NASA is still heading down a path that could lead to a return to the moon in five years.

Howard Day

has done some serious damage to his

Hornet cockpit

, and the results are amazing! The shattered displays and windscreen are so severe that they almost make you gasp.
