WASHINGTON  The Obama administration on Wednesday appealed a federal judge's 
order to lift all age limits on who can buy morning-after birth 
control pills without a prescription.In appealing the ruling, the administration 
recommitted itself to a position Obama took during his re-election campaign 
that younger teens shouldn't have unabated access to emergency contraceptives, 
despite the insistence by physicians groups and much of his Democratic base 
that the pill should be readily available.A day earlier, the Food and 
Drug Administration lowered the age that people can buy the Plan B 
One-Step morning-after pill without a prescription to 15 -- younger than 
the current limit of 17 -- and decided that the pill could 
be sold on drugstore shelves near the condoms, instead of locked behind 
pharmacy counters.That decision appeared to fly in the face of a judge's 
decision last month that women of any age should be allowed to 
buy both Plan B and its cheaper generic competition as easily as 
they can buy aspirin. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York 
gave the FDA 30 days to comply, and the Monday deadline was 
approaching fast, prompting the administration on Wednesday to ask the court 
to put the ruling on hold while it reconsiders.With the appeal, the 
Obama administration is making clear that it's willing to ease access to 
emergency contraception only a certain amount -- not nearly as broadly as 
doctors' groups and contraception advocates h
acecraft ultimately missed each other by 6 miles when they passed 
one another on April 3, 2012."The maneuver, which was performed by the 
spacecraft itself based on procedures we developed a long time ago, was 
very simple, just firing all thrusters for one second," Stoneking said. 
"There was a lot of suspense and tension leading up to it, 
but once it was over, we just sighed with relief that it 
all went well.""A huge weight was lifted," McEnery said. "I felt like 
I'd lost 20 pounds."Space junk has been a growing threat to satellites 
and manned spacecraft in orbit, and collisions do occur from time to 
time. Last month, the European Space Agency held its sixth conference dedicated 
to combating the space junk threat in Darmstadt, Germany.In February 2009, 
another dead Russian satellite slammed into the U.S. communications satellite 
Iridium 33 in a space collision that spawned vast clouds of debris, 
one along each craft's orbit. In 2007, China intentionally destroyed a defunct 
weather satellite in an anti-satellite test.NASA tracks 17,000 objects larger 
than 4 inches across in orbit above the Earth every day. Only 
7 percent of the objects tracked are currently active satellites.The Fermi 
telescope  launched in 2008  searches the sky for signs of 
dark matter, black holes and spinning pulsars by seeking out sources of 
gamma-ray bursts, the brightest flashes of light in the universe since the 
Big Bang.Copyright 2013 SPACE.com, a TechMediaNetwor
