    Moon potential goldmine of natural resources
    Cape Canaveral, Florida (AFP) July 16, 2009
    As the Earth's natural resources gradually dwindle, some scientists believe the moon could prove a goldmine for future generations.

He curled up on the Eagle's engine cover and closed his eyes. But he could not sleep. Neither cou ... more
