CMU Tartan Racing Team and their vehicle "Boss":
The Carnegie Mellon Tartan Racing Team
is an entrant in the DARPA Urnban Challenge.
The competition takes place Saturday 11/3/2007 at the former George Air Force Base in Victorville, CA.
The Urban Challenge features driverless ground vehicles maneuvering in a mock city environment, executing simulated military supply missions while merging into moving traffic, navigating traffic circles, negotiating busy intersections, and avoiding obstacles.
Image Credits- Team: DARPA web site, Boss: Vincent Zeng/tartanracing.org
Update: Boss won the Darpa Urban Challenge!

Endeavour Lifts Off!:
(2007Aug08) --- The launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour lit up
the sky at sunset as it lifted off on time at 6:36 p.m. EDT on
mission STS-118. It is the 22nd shuttle flight to the
International Space Station.

ISS SPACEWALK:
(2007Jul23) --- Astronaut Clay Anderson, Expedition 15 flight
engineer, waves to the camera while participating in a session of
extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction continues on the
International Space Station.
During the 7-hour 41-minute spacewalk, Anderson and cosmonaut Fyodor N. Yurchikhin (out of frame), commander representing Russia's Federal Space Agency, installed a television camera stanchion, reconfigured a power supply for an antenna assembly, and performed several get-ahead tasks. Also, while riding on the end of the Canadarm2, Anderson jettisoned the Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) by shoving it opposite of the station's direction of travel. The station's robotic arm end effector is at left.

Jupiter and two of its moons:
Captured by the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI)
at 04:41:04 UTC on Jan. 24, 2007.
The spacecraft was 35.3 million miles from Jupiter,
approaching the planet at 41,500 miles per hour.
At the right are the moons Io and Ganymede (top); Ganymede's shadow can be seen on Jupiter toward the top.
