Space travel coming to an airport near you? Maybe, if Skylon keeps its cool
Want to get from New York to Perth in under 4 hours, or maybe just head to outer space on a lark? Reaction Engines' "Skylon" mach 5 spaceplane might be your chariot -- or not. Its scheme of ingesting oxygen from the atmosphere instead of stowing it like a 50-year old modern multi-stage rocket sounds good, but the project's fate may hang on critical new tests. Failure is still a possibility, but if the high-speed, superhot gases can be cooled enough for the hybrid Sabre engines to work, and if Reaction Engines Limited can secure another round of funding, punching your space-ticket could soon be a very real possibility.

Sun stops shining on E Ink Holdings: company reports first loss in two years
E Ink Holdings made a loss of over $25 million last quarter, despite supplying its backlight-free panels to popular e-readers like the Kindle and the Nook. Why the poor showing after ten quarters of solid money-making? The company's accountants blame "off-season effects" and "inventory adjustments" by customers, which may simply be corporatese for "the screens aren't selling so well." Overall revenue tumbled 63 percent compared to the same period in 2011 and the outlook remains "conservative" -- although it's hard to believe that everyone suddenly wants to stay indoors and stare at pixels.

Lenay Dunn Hosts A Sleepover Party On MTV!
Who said weekends are only for going out? MTV sure doesn't think so, as the network is introducing a new special, MTV Sleepover, centered around watching movies with your friends. Hosted by Lenay Dunn, MTV Sleepover will air on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 12:30am, with Lenay and her pals offering commentary, fashion tips and general girl talk!
According to Lenay, who is the host of MTV's hit show 10 on Top, "MTV Sleepover is like a big party in your pajamas. Its me and my girlfriends watching movies, skyping in friends and celeb guests in PJs, and a few surprises also."
The adorable blonde (she's the face of Macy's American Rag line) says the show will also explore a previously uncharted area of style, "We are showing a lot of 'PJ fashion' which isn't done often in a show of this format. Our stylist has brought in some of the cutest looks."
Those looking to snuggle up and join Lenay can catch a debut of MTV Sleepover on April 27th.
