News-Gazette (June 6) -- If NASA astronauts go back to the moon or to Mars, new research at the University of Illinois may make the trip more efficient. The space agency has awarded a $50,000 grant to UI aerospace engineering Assistant Professor Dr. Koki Ho for a year of study in the field of in situ resource utilization. That involves mining celestial bodies — in this case, the moon — for resources like water and oxygen to be used in space missions. Also: Science Magazine (June 6)
