Actress Leah Remini has credited Jennifer Lopez with helping her to reclaim her spirituality after almost 30 years as a Church of Scientology member.
The former King of Queens star left the controversial organisation last July (13) after becoming embroiled in an argument with religious leader David Miscavige over some of the group's strict policies.
She found it hard to reevaluate her beliefs following the departure and reveals it was best pal Lopez who encouraged her to start listening to affirmation tapes to boost her self-confidence.
She tells Buzzfeed.com, "One of the things I do is look in a mirror and say, 'I love you, Leah. You're doing the best you can do.'
"Jennifer made special rings for all the women in her life that say, 'I Love Me,' and I've really come to realise you have to love yourself before you can expect someone else to. You have to learn to believe you deserve love. And I'm getting there. I'm starting to believe it."

It's not every day that a dog helps save astronauts in space, but that's exactly what happens in author Jeffrey Bennett's latest tale of a pooch named Max and his trip to the International Space Station. And there's a twist: The science-themed children's book is actually in space today in the cosmic library aboard the real-life space station.
Bennett's "Max Goes to the Space Station" (Big Kids Science, 2013) launched into space earlier this year on a commercial cargo ship alongside other vital supplies for astronauts on the space station. That set the stage for "Story Time From Space," an educational outreach project in which astronauts will read "Max Goes to the Space Station" and Bennett's other works in space to encourage children on Earth to learn about space and science. One of the books, "Max Goes to the Moon," has flown in space before and was read in orbit by NASA astronaut Alvin Drew, one of the creators of Story Time From Space.
Space.com recently caught up with Bennett who received the 2013 American Institute of Physics Science Communications Award in January for "Max Goes to the Moon" to discuss the launch of "Max Goes to the Space Station" and his other books (which sent Max to the moon, Mars and Jupiter). Another of Bennett's books, "The Wizard Who Saved the World," also hitched a ride to the station with the launch. Here's what Bennett revealed on the origin of Max the Dog, the pooch's trips into space and what it means for kids:
Space.com: "Max Goes to the Space Station" is the latest in a series of books that send Max on a space adventure. What led you to use a dog to share space exploration with kids?
Jeffrey Bennett:I wanted to write science books that would appeal not only to kids who were already into science, but also to kids who might not otherwise pick up a science book. Since kids love dogs, sending a dog on the adventures seemed like a natural way to create stories that would hold kids' attention so that I could teach them some science at the same time. [Animals in Space: 10 Cosmic Tales]
Space.com: Did you ever think the books would eventually be launched into space? Or be read from space?
Bennett: When I first starting writing, I had all sorts of delusions of grandeur about how much my books would sell and so on, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that they'd really go into space. Indeed, when Patricia Tribe (an educator who came up with the Story Time From Space idea along with astronaut Alvin Drew) first called me and told me they'd selected my books, I thought it had to be a prank phone call.
Space.com: Is Max based on a real dog? Are you a dog owner now? Any other pets?
Bennett: Yes, Max is real. My wife and I got the original Max as a puppy, and it was completely her doing; at the time, I had no interest in having a dog. But Max won me over quickly, and the inspiration for "Max Goes to the Moon" actually came to me one day while I was out walking with Max and my infant son and looked up at the moon in the morning sky. Max lived to be 9 1/2 (there's a page honoring him at the end of "Max Goes to Mars"), and he served as the model for Alan Okamotos artwork in "Max Goes to the Moon" and "Max Goes to Mars."
We then got another Rottweiler, Cosmo, who was painted as Max in "Max Goes to Jupiter" by artist Michael Carroll; readers will notice that he is introduced in the story as the grandson of the original Max. Because "Max Goes to the Space Station" is a prequel to "Max Goes to the Moon," Carroll worked mainly from photos of the original Max, but also paid some attention to Cosmo, since the two dogs look very similar.

Space Story Time: Kids' Book Author Jeffrey Bennett Talks Max the Dog in Orbit
Unlike Sandra Bullocks predicament in the movie, left to fall at the mercy of the laws of physics until rescued by George Clooney, we have one last option available. The US spacesuit that is used for conducting spacewalks is equipped with a jetpack called SAFER. This discharges high-pressure nitrogen gas to 24 small thrusters located around the spacesuits backpack. The astronauts control the thrusters using a hand controller and if you think that sounds like something from an early James Bond movie, then you wouldnt be far wrong.
Thankfully, the chances of finding ourselves in such a situation are slim. During a spacewalk, astronauts are protected from becoming detached by a retractable safety tether, anchored to the space station at one end and attached to the spacesuit at the other. However, this thin steel wire is a double-edged sword and astronauts must remain constantly vigilant so as not to get tangled up. In addition, theres a mantra drilled into all of us rookie astronauts: You stop, you drop meaning that as soon as you stop moving from A to B, you drop another tether, a short strap securing you to the nearest handrail.
Under other circumstances, flying around in space with a thruster pack must rank up there as one of the most exhilarating feelings imaginable. Only a handful of astronauts have experienced this. I think one of the most inspirational photographs taken from space was during the first of these untethered spacewalks, of Nasa astronaut Bruce McCandless. This image, taken from the Shuttle, shows McCandless floating against the empty blackness of space above a stunning blue Earth. The feelings of isolation and exposure must have been immense.
However, I have no time to dwell on these thoughts. My emergency rescue scenario is extremely challenging, and the small quantity of nitrogen available for propulsion means that you only get one shot no mistakes.
Thankfully, the SAFER is equipped with an automatic attitude hold that stops the nauseating tumbling motion that will occur if you do not smoothly detach from structure. This happened to Sandra Bullocks character in Gravity when high-speed debris knocked her from her shuttle and left her tumbling through space. If youre lucky, when the tumbling ceases, you will be able to see part of the space station, or maybe Earth, as a reference point. Not so lucky, and precious nitrogen has to be expended in searching for the space station.
Having successfully located it, the nitrogen remaining is already likely to be down to around 50 to 60 per cent, and although the tumbling motion will have stopped, you are still drifting away from structure. As you get further from the space station, other factors such as orbital dynamics complicate matters.
In a nutshell, objects in higher orbits travel more slowly and those in lower orbits travel faster. This explains why our TV satellites are way out at nearly 36,000km (22,369 miles), where they orbit the Earth only once every 24 hours, matching an Earth day and therefore remaining geostationary. In contrast, the space station at only 350km (218 miles) altitude travels at 17,500 miles per hour in order to remain in orbit and circles the Earth every hour and a half. These orbital effects become apparent even at relatively short distances, and it is unnerving to watch the space station slipping further away as you drift into a different orbit. Time is of the essence.
My first two self-rescue attempts went well, which was a relief in more ways than one since my instructors had commented that helicopter pilots (such as me) are usually pretty good at this sort of thing no pressure, then! For my third attempt, the stakes were raised and I was ejected into space at a faster rate and from a more remote part of the space station. Worse still, my SAFER took three attempts to initialise, by which time the space station was beginning to look awfully far away.
As I recovered the situation, a quick check of nitrogen showed a worrying 10 per cent remaining. The nearest handrail to me was off to the right and I was not convinced I was going to make it. With an arm outstretched, I decided to go in hard and fast. It worked, but only just, and I could hear my instructors in the background chuckling at their console. It had been a close call but thats exactly what these training sessions are for.
Gravity is based on a scenario whereby a Russian satellite incurs a missile strike, causing a cascading collision cloud of space debris. This is not such a far-fetched concept and is in fact known as the Kessler Syndrome. Space debris is a big deal. There are currently more than 600,000 pieces of debris larger than 1cm orbiting the Earth.

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. -
The regional spaceport on Virginia's eastern shore is now sending cargo to the International Space Station. And one day, humans could be heading into space from the launch pad on Wallops Island. Bigelow Aerospace is now developing an expandable module for the International Space Station.
And the company hopes to use the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport to deploy an independent, free-flying commercial space station. The company says human spaceflight could have a huge economic impact on the entire state, including southwestern Virginia.
Mike Gold is the Director of D.C. Operations and Business Growth for Bigelow Aerospace. We spoke with him recently via Skype. " I think southwestern Virginia, Virginia Tech, a lot of the companies and certainly educational institutions that you have down there would be absolutely involved at a very high level," Gold told WDBJ7, "because in the end this isn't about just sending people to space, it's about what you do there. "
Another company, Orbital Sciences, has completed the first of 8 resupply missions to the International Space Station.
Human spaceflight from Wallops Island will depend on funding from NASA, but Gold says he believes the regional spaceport is ready to take the next step.

HOUSTON - After years of training and preparation, a Colorado native is now just days away from a flight to the International Space Station.
The journey will take Coloradan Steve Swanson into the heavens for a third visit to Earth's only permanent, orbiting outpost -- but he will face unique new challenges on this trip.
Swanson and two Russian cosmonauts are scheduled to launch aboard Soyuz TMA-12M on March 25. He will be the most experienced astronaut on board, but it will be his first flight aboard the cramped Russian spacecraft. The astronaut's two previous flights were aboard NASA Space Shuttles, before that program was retired.
"Each time I was up there with my shuttle flights, it was only two weeks long and I just wanted to stay," he said.
To prepare for the upcoming six-month expedition, Swanson has spent years in training. Although he and his fellow cosmonauts will spend just a few days aboard the Soyuz, Swanson spent months traveling between the United States and Russia to train for the trip.
"It's like starting a roller coaster ride," said Swanson describing the launch he has trained for.
After the Soyuz carries the crew to the ISS, hundreds of miles above the Earth, Swanson will assume the role of flight engineer for Expedition 39. Every crew visiting the station overlaps and when Expedition 39's members depart a few weeks later, Swanson will become the commander of Expedition 40.

"I just always loved to explore," the graduate of Steamboat Springs High School said.
"I'd just go hike around, you know, the areas where we were camping, and I used to love doing that, I think that's kind of the same idea, I love to explore," he added.
