Galaxy S II will use, but it could possibly be a dual core 1.2GHz
Qualcomm processor.

astronaut Frank Culbertson, who was onboard the International Space
Station when the World Trade Center was hit. He was the only American in
space on 9/11 and his experiences are detailed in a NASA blog post.

First weld marks the start of construction on NASA's next manned spacecraft.
NASA
has begun construction on the next manned ship to go into space,
beginning with the first weld on the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Module
that will carry astronauts aboard the spacecraft.
Work began on the spacecraft in New Orleans on Friday, September 9,

orbit since the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which landed earlier this year
and marked the final flight of the Space Shuttle program.
