From reading the English language web site, al Jeezera looks like an
Arabic Time or US News and World Report to me. Pretty middle of the
road, but from an Arab perspective. Probably about as accurate (and
inaccurate) as typical US news sources. It is certainly not as one
sided as, say, Rush Limbaugh.

Space tourism could be our ticket to the stars. Save your pennies,
suborbital flights for $100,000 may start in 2005! See
