[Scarred For Life] Correspondent: Kim Webby Producer: Damien Comerford It's been nearly a year since the fatal shooting of Waitara man Steven Wallace, but for his family, the pain has not dulled - they say they are 'Scarred For Life'. Wallace was shot dead by a police officer at close range, after smashing up over 100 windows in the Taranaki town, and allegedly threatening police with a softball bat. Four bullets ended the 23-year-old's life, which was full of promise, and will forever remain unfulfilled. What followed the shooting has been almost as tough for the family. Raewyn Wallace, Steven's mother, says the answers and justice they seek for a killing they believe should not have had to happen still elude them. An investigation into the events of the tragic night from an eyewitness account, differ dramatically to what the police say - which is that shooting was the only option available to them. In her first in depth television interview, Steven Wallace's mother, Raewyn talked to 60 Minutes' Kim Webby about her ongoing battle to find answers and her anger at how her son was taken from her.

Recently, in the same plane the Russians use to train their cosmonauts, 60 Minutes reporter, Peter Overton, joined some very well heeled tourists for one of life's great adventures, achieving weightlessness. However, as exciting as this experience was, it's just the beginning. There is a new space race between Russia and America. It is a race to put tourists into orbit. The Americans have big plans for floating hotels and massive passenger-carrying space shuttles, but once again it is the Russians who have stolen the march. Now, billionaire Dennis Tito has boarded a Russian rocket and become the first paying passenger to go into space. He may be the first of many. As Peter Overton reports, the race is on to the ultimate holiday destination.
