U.S., World: Spies! Israel! Scientists! Moon water! Stings! Arrests! Secrets!

  • We needed a feel-good story to make us forget about Balloon Boy. Thanks to 52-year-old Stewart Nozette, we have it.

We hope he got what he wanted out of this – he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. source
