Rare, enormous gas storm detected on Saturn
NASA says the Cassini spacecraft recorded the aftermath of a massive storm on Saturn that let out an "unprecedented belch of energy."
Not only was the size of the storm unusual, but what the storm was made of left scientists puzzled.
The source of the cosmic burp, which rapidly changed the atmosphere's temperature, was ethylene gas, an odorless, colorless gas that has rarely been observed on Saturn, NASA said.
"This temperature spike is so extreme it's almost unbelievable," said Brigette Hesman, the study's lead author who works at Goddard. "To get a temperature change of the same scale on Earth, you'd be going from the depths of winter in Fairbanks, Alaska, to the height of summer in the Mojave Desert," Hesman said in a statement released by NASA.

Competition with whom? There's no Soviet Union now, the Chinese are not space bound at least yet... the only competition I can see happening is private sector vs public funded.
So they're gonna do what the rest of the world has been doing for 40 years maybe in 8 years from now, while we're talking of a race for a lunar base? It doesn't seem like serious competition.
