CREW OF ASTEROID MISSION DEAD
TOKYO (AP) -- The crew of the Senji Aeronautics Inc. asteroid mission were reported dead today. The crew's supplies had dwindled in recent weeks. In a state of confusion, mission commander Captain Tom Evans accidentally opened the craft's airlock this morning, killing all on board.
