            <description><![CDATA[Here’s a piece of news Large Hadron Collider (LHC) critics, conspiracy theorists, and doom mongers are going to love: Ready for action after suffering almost a year of delays and repairs, CERN’s massive underground particle accelerator has been struck by misfortune yet again, and by the unlikeliest of culprits.]]></description>

            <title>NASA: Experimental Ares 1-X rocket suffered damage</title>
            <link>http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200944/4707/NASA-Experimental-Ares-1-X-rocket-suffered-damage</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Wednesday’s launch of the experimental Ares 1-X rocket may have been deemed a success insofar as it enabled NASA to gather valuable trajectory data, but physical damage sustained during the two-minute flight suggest the test wasn’t without incident. 

The damage in question – a large impact dent – was found close to the base of the rocket’s ejected solid rocket booster section, which was recovered yesterday from the ocean by a team of specialist divers.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[With the Florida region finally clear of inclement weather conditions, NASA has put Tuesday’s disruptive delay behind it and successfully completed a brief sub-orbital test flight of its experimental Ares 1-X rocket. 

Blasting skyward from Launch Pad 39-B at the Kennedy Space Center, the unmanned 327-foot rocket was packed with a dummy payload and hundreds of sensors in order to allow NASA to gather important flight data and monitor its first stage separation process.

            <description><![CDATA[Having already played havoc with the recent launch schedules of numerous space shuttle missions, inclement weather in and around the Florida region is expected to again rear its ugly head as NASA’s Ares 1-X experimental rocket sits ready for blast off later today.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Arriving hot on the heels of the ‘trapped kid in a helium balloon’ hoax that took America by storm, sensational footage of a flaming meteorite burning within its impact crater has also been labelled little more than an elaborate publicity stunt.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[H1N1, Swine Flu, or just the Flu, essentially they’re the same thing. However, with all the media attention and pundits talking, should you panic? What do you need to do to prevent it, and how can you treat it if infected? The Tech Herald has done some research and here’s what we discovered. 

“It started like any other common cold or flu, with a tickle in the back of my throat and that general feeling of coming down with something.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Seems there’s very little good fortune around for NASA’s aging space shuttles these days. With recent flights to the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station (ISS) beset by problems, an Atlantis mission scheduled for November has been delayed in favour of a test launch of the Ares rocket that will soon replace the shuttle fleet.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[If you’ve ever fancied enduring a brisk and revitalising summer dip in the Arctic Ocean but couldn’t get past all that pesky ice, hold onto your Speedos and mark 2019 on your leisure time calendar because apparently the Arctic’s icy coverage will be largely gone in around a decade. 

At least, that’s the view of Professor Peter Wadhams of the University of Cambridge, England, who’s been studying conditions in the Arctic region since the 1960s.]]></description>
