The URL is http://www.space.com/php/siteinfo/RSSinfo.php. I copy the link of the image-of-the-day feeds into akregator (within kontact). This works, but is does not automatically retrieves the feed. If I force this by hand it does, but when selecting a feed entry nothing happens. Next, I move to another feed. Next, when I select the space.com feed, kontact crashes. When I restart kontact from a konsole I get this:

Kontact doesn't start. When I do this a second time, it gives this:

But it start's up after a delay of about a minute. I can delete the feed.

When starting kontact a third time, it starts up in the normal startup time. It gives this:
