UNDATED: A Fire Scout unmanned helicopter lands aboard the USS McInerney
during developmental testing.US NAVYCORONADO, Calif. The Navy is inaugurating
its first squadron with unmanned aircraft, formally adopting drone technology
amid debate over its growing use in warfare.Military officials will launch
the maritime strike squadron called "Magicians" on Thursday at the Naval
Air Station North Island base on Coronado, near San Diego.The squadron will
have eight manned helicopters and a still-to-be-determined number of the
Fire Scout MQ-8 B, an unmanned helicopter that can fly 12 continuous
hours, tracking targets.Lt. Aaron Kakiel says the squadron will be aboard
the Navy's new littoral combat ship in about a year.He says most
Navy drones now are operated by contractors overseen by military personnel.The
squadron's creation comes 100 years after the formation of the first Navy
air detachment.The Air Force has various drone squadrons.

immigrants.And most Americans will agree. Theres little appetite in either
party for mass deportations of long-term Hispanic illegal immigrants. Whatever
critics of the immigration plan offer in the Senate have to say,
even most of the staunchest opponents have given up on the idea
of a coast-to-coast crackdown.But when the discussion turns to those illegal
immigrants who are not part of the Hispanic majority or even the
substantial Asian minority, things get more difficult especially when those
illegal immigrants are from Muslim countries, especially those with ties
to Islamist militancy.It pleases the Emma Lazarus within the collective
American heart to offer refuge to the huddled masses yearning to be
free, especially when we think of those desperate to escape from the
horrors of places like Somalia, Yemen, Syria and, yes, Chechnya and Kazakhstan.But
when the troubles and terrorism of those countries follow the refugees,
many would be happy to see the Statue of Liberty narrow her
embrace just a bit.And thats when the bargain on offer in the
Senate loses some of its appeal.Whatever specifics are on offer in the
800+ pages of the Senate deal, the bargain at the heart of
the proposition is this: In exchange for conservatives agreeing to allow
most of the millions here illegally to attain legal status of some
kind, liberals are offering to increase protections against new border jumpers
and to crack down on those already here who re

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">Undated: A Facebook graphic, by the group Credo Action, asking Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg to stop supporting ads backing the Keystone XL Pipeline.CREDOFILE:
April 4, 2013: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg during a company press event
in Menlo Park, Calif.REUTERSFacebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is facing a
backlash from the left over ads that support drilling in Alaska and
the Canada-to-Texas Keystone pipeline, as the young billionaire wades ever-deeper
into charged political debates.The daisy chain that connects Zuckerberg
with the drilling ads starts with FWD.US, the bipartisan group Zuckerberg
co-founded for the purpose of supporting immigration legislation. That organization
gave money to a conservative group, Americans for a Conservative Direction,
that aired a TV ad supporting South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
It also gave to a group that put up an ad backing
drilling in Alaska.Graham is among the eight senators who crafted the bipartisan
immigration legislation now being debated on Capitol Hill. However, Graham
appears in the ad criticizing President Obama for not approving the Keystone
pipeline, which supporters say will help the United Sates achieve energy
independence and critics say will be an environmental hazard.The president
says Im for all of the above when it comes to energy,
Graham says in the 60-second spot. Well, those are words coming out
of his mouth. They dont come from his heart. No Keystone pipeli
acecraft ultimately missed each other by 6 miles when they passed
one another on April 3, 2012."The maneuver, which was performed by the
spacecraft itself based on procedures we developed a long time ago, was
very simple, just firing all thrusters for one second," Stoneking said.
"There was a lot of suspense and tension leading up to it,
but once it was over, we just sighed with relief that it
all went well.""A huge weight was lifted," McEnery said. "I felt like
I'd lost 20 pounds."Space junk has been a growing threat to satellites
and manned spacecraft in orbit, and collisions do occur from time to
time. Last month, the European Space Agency held its sixth conference dedicated
to combating the space junk threat in Darmstadt, Germany.In February 2009,
another dead Russian satellite slammed into the U.S. communications satellite
Iridium 33 in a space collision that spawned vast clouds of debris,
one along each craft's orbit. In 2007, China intentionally destroyed a defunct
weather satellite in an anti-satellite test.NASA tracks 17,000 objects larger
than 4 inches across in orbit above the Earth every day. Only
7 percent of the objects tracked are currently active satellites.The Fermi
telescope launched in 2008 searches the sky for signs of
dark matter, black holes and spinning pulsars by seeking out sources of
gamma-ray bursts, the brightest flashes of light in the universe since the
Big Bang.Copyright 2013 SPACE.com, a TechMediaNetwor
