The second phase will see the orang-utans' outside space extended and a new play area built, and the third phase will mean the gorilla house will be renovated and extended.
Deterrence: The first phase system should be comprised of ground and space-based sensors and interceptor systems.
In 2001: A Space Odyssey, space travel led to the next phase of human evolution.
This is especially deplorable since there is no more cost- or militarily effective way to perform boost-phase intercepts on a global basis than from space. (An interim capability provided by the Airborne Laser should be developed and validated as rapidly as technical considerations will permit.) In the absence of strong executive branch leadership on the matter, Congress has not provided the support space-based missile defenses deserve.
He also emphasized the need for boost-phase defenses, for which sea-, air- and space-based weapons will be necessary.
According to NASA spokesman Ken Davidian, the space agency spends huge sums in the trial and error phase of testing an idea.
The five-segment booster is intended to power the early flight phase of Nasa's proposed Ares 1 launch vehicle - its replacement for the space shuttle.
They now have a breathing space of seven days in which to sue for peace before the next phase of the battle is due to start.
The first phase of the project, eventually planned to be 1 million sq ft of office space for 30 anchor tenants and 100 start-ups, should be ready by 2002.
Developers had about 50% of the retail space in the Meridian's 830, 000-square-foot initial phase leased to retailers such as a Gap store and to restaurants before it got the construction loan.
Located on the Cotai Strip, the Galaxy Macau will almost double in size after the second phase of construction is completed in mid-2015, with the addition of 450, 000 square meters of space.
