"A golden age has begun for the life sciences, an age in which science and technology will benefit enormously from a fundamental understanding of the full potential of living systems...This is an agenda for inspiring the next generation of planetary explorers and stewards to sustain the NASA vision and mission." --Astrobiology NASA Roadmap

• [wideasleep.com review] habstars - there's an interesting interview over at astrobiology magazine with jill tarter (of contact fame) and margaret turnbull. they talk about their creation of a categorization technique for stars and how it was used to create the habcat, a catalog of nearby habitable stellar systems. this catalog will likely be used by the allen telescope array to determine it's first list of targets when it begins operation in 2005. this article is not just an interview, it also does a good job of overviewing various seti projects as well as other general planetary classification information.
• Prof. Bill Welsh: 'A new and very good on-line astrobiology news service: "Astrobiology Magazine" ' I teach a course in astrobiology and I have my students look at the outstanding Astrobiology Magazine web pages you edit.

• Astroenlazador.com ( Spanish Astronomy Page): "An interesting page in English dedicated to the Astrobiology, with the news and articles about this discipline. The subjects in which, in particular, this Web is centered are: origin of the Earth life, history of the terrestrial climate, life in extreme conditions, Mars life and the Solar System, stellar evolution and conditions of life in other stars, missions of exploration to make astrobiológicos studies, etc... Much information, very didactic and magnificently presented/displayed."
  
  
• Slashdot.org"I immediately noticed the menu system at the top of the Astrobiology Magazine website. It gives the user of the site the ability to email the story, fax it, download it in Word, Acrobat or PalmDoc, or make it printer friendly. Among other options, it also will translate to Spanish, and read the article to you in MP3. A lot of work, I think kudos should be given to the web dev team that put this site together. Very cool site!"
