Space Next-Generation Trash Bag
After answering the question of how the space potty works, astronaut Mike Massimino now visits the Advanced Water Recovery Systems Development Facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
Chemists have been working hard to develop a next-generation trash bag for future exploration, including testing different forms of trash...and fake vomit.
Watch as Massimino and the scientists lend their noses in the name of exploration and see if NASA's mixture is potent enough in this edition of "NASA Behind the Scenes."

Voyage to Pandora: Humanity's first interstellar flight
Pandora is the idyllic blue world featured in the movie Avatar. Its location is a real place: Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun and the most likely destination for our first journey beyond the solar system.
Remarkably, it's anti-matter, the science fiction fuel of choice that could take us there. Normally, it's only created in powerful jets that roar out of black holes. We can now produce small quantities in Earth-bound particle colliders. Will we journey out only to plunder other worlds? Or will we come in peace?
The answer may depend on how we see Earth at that time in the distant future.

Sound Of The Sun
Like listening to a heartbeat, scientists called helioseismologists are listening to the sound of the Sun to learn about its temperature, chemical makeup, and motions.
An instrument aboard NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) watches the movements of the surface of the Sun to reconstruct the sound.
Each pitch corresponds with a particular part of the Sun, allowing for various measurements and studies.
Note: Wait till 1:44 seconds of clip to hear 3 seconds of sun sound

Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle
US Air Force Research Laboratory video animation of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV).
AFRL's goal is to develop a bird-sized MAV by 2015 and an insect-sized MAV by 2030.
The bird-sized MAV would be air-deployed from a larger UAV so search for weapons of mass destruction, operating semi-autonomously for up to a week.
