More Jews in Space: US space agency NASA has announced that Israel’s first astronaut, Ilan Ramon, will be launched into space on January 16, 2003. Ramon’s space mission has been delayed for half a year, after small cracks were found in fuel pipes in the main engines of two orbiters. NASA said Ramon was due to be launched in the space shuttle “Columbia”, on mission number STS-107. The launch window will last two-and a half hours, the space agency noted.
