Cosco Busan Update:

Saturday, January 28, marks the 20th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger's explosion. SFist can't help but think of the ill-fated tenth mission every time we pass Onizuka Air Force Station down in Sunnyvale. We're not the only space groupies with the anniversary on our minds: the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland will feature a special memorial presentation all day, and screen the movie To Be an Astronaut at 11:30 am and 6:00 pm. General admission to the planetarium is $13, but kids under 13 get in for $9; the center is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday.

We take a rare spin to the North of Market crime scene and relate the Examiner's tale of woe about a "high-flying" Pac Heights couple who came back to their apartment on Fillmore and Pacific to find that someone had stolen $100,000 worth of uninsured jewelry from a safe that they had failed to lock. The jewelry included a $25,000 engagement ring engraved with the words "The Love Of My Life" and a $11,500 wedding band. The rich, they're different from you and us. Have you seen a fluffy doggie wandering around SFO, just like in Homeward Bound 2: Lost in San Francisco (only without Michael J. Fox)? A championship bichon frise named Ryland was reported stolen from the cargo area Tuesday morning. Ryland, who was traveling from Sacto to China, was last reported seen being carted off by a man wearing a tan shirt and jeans who then jumped in his white Toyota 4Runner and then took off "at a high rate of speed." $3000 reward! And last night, the SFPD found a dead body in a burning car in McLaren Park, after responding to a report of shots being fired. The SFPD reports that it is investigating the incident as a homicide. You cannot slip anything past the SFPD!
