NASA bans all Chinese from conference on extra-solar system planets and life.

NASA officials rejected applications from Chinese nationals who hoped to attend the meeting at the agency’s Ames Research Center in California next month, citing a law, passed in March, which prohibits anyone from China setting foot in a NASA building.
