As NASA’s Curiosity rover continues to inch across the red planet’s dusty Gale Crater, America’s interest in space exploration inches upward as well. Jeopardy!’s Ken Jennings is a bit of space nerd himself, and this month he’ll be navigating us through an asteroid belt of misconceptions about the exploration of the cosmos. Even if you’re not one of the 6 percent of Americans who believes that the moon landing was a hoax, you might have been fleeced by one or more of these fallacies about the final frontier.
Space Myth #2: American Space Missions Launch from Cape Canaveral.
If we’re using “Cape Canaveral” as an example of what your English teacher used to call metonymy—representing some thing or concept with the name of something else—then yes, NASA launches from the Cape. It’s the same way we might refer to the movie industry as “Hollywood,” even though only one major studio (Paramount) is actually headquartered in the Hollywood district these days—they’re all elsewhere in Los Angeles. The same is true of NASA: in strict geographical terms, it hasn’t launched manned missions from the Cape itself in over forty years.

Col. Lutton takes command
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE The 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base has a new leader.
Col. Michael Lutton became commander of the missile wing in a change of command ceremony Tuesday.
Maj. Gen. Jack Weinstein, commander of 20th Air Force at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo., presided over the ceremony.
Lutton and outgoing commander Col. Robert Vercher traded jobs. Vercher will become deputy director of Mission Assessment and Analysis at Headquarters U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt AFB, Neb., a position Lutton held from June 2012 until now. Vercher was commander of the Minot missile wing since June 2012.
Lutton said he looks forward to serving the missile wing and its personnel and being part of the base and local community. His wife, Brenda, and their two children, Kyle and Bridget, listened from the audience as he talked about their move to Minot AFB.
Vercher thanked everyone for his time as commander of the missile wing and especially thanked the “Rough Riders,” the men and women of the 91st Missile Wing “who inspire me each day.”
The 91st Missile Wing is one of three operational intercontinental ballistic missile wings in Air Force Global Strike Command. Its mission is to secure, maintain and operate 150 Minuteman III ICBMs in underground facilities in an 8,500-square-mile territory comprised of several counties surrounding the Minot base.
Weinstein, in remarks prior to the formal change of command, thanked members of the missile wing for their “unwavering dedication to the ICBM mission.” He said it is “a demanding business that requires 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.”
“Your continued focus on the mission enables the United States to have a safe, secure and effective nuclear force,” Weinstein said. He said it has never failed in deterring this nation’s adversaries. He also said the support of the local community is “absolutely essential.”
Under Vercher’s leadership, Weinstein tallied a number of accomplishments including working with state and local governments and industry representatives on encroachment issues and the successful integration of North Dakota Air National Guard members who provide security in the Minot missile field and for convoy operations. He said Vercher and his wife, Amy, supported the airmen of the wing and also pointed out they have done extensive work for a dramatic reduction of domestic abuse and DUIs. He said the wing also excelled, naming specific inspections.
Weinstein said Lutton “is a brilliant leader.” Lutton is a career space and missile officer. He has served in multiple weapon systems including the Peacekeeper ICBM system and the Milstar satellite communication system.
Weinstein said Tuesday’s change of command comes at a very important time for ICBMs. He said the Force Improvement Program, or FIP, has provided a list of suggested ideas from airman across the command. He said funding will be used to make numerous improvements, including in the missile field and for personnel.
Among changes for missile wings, as soon as Aug. 1 the helicopter squadron at Minot Air Force Base and other ICBM bases will come under a unit of 20th Air Force. Currently, the helicopter squadron’s are under each missile wing.


Passengers aboard a Port Harcourt-bound Azman Air flight were thrown into panic on Friday after a yet-to-be-identified man climbed the aircraft while it was about to take off at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja. According to a viral video shot by one of the passengers in Lagos, the man illegally gained access to the airside with hand luggage.
The video also showed that the man illegally climbed the aircraft wing and deposited the bag inside one of the engines.
The aircraft was at the holding bay expecting clearance for take-off when the incident occurred.
The action caused panic and frenzy as some of the passengers immediately demanded the pilot and cabin crew to open the aircraft doors for them to disembark due to safety concerns. Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), who confirmed the development to newsmen said the man had been arrested. According to her, the stowaway was arrested by Aviation Security Personnel and was taken to Tango City, a FAAN security unit domiciled at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport,

The Wall Street Journal reports today that European safety regulators have ordered frequent and extensive testing on the composite rudders of Airbus A300/310 series jets due to safety concerns.
The rudders of about 420 older Airbus jetliners are being subjected to repetitive ultrasonic and other enhanced inspections, the first time airlines and safety regulators have resorted to such recurring, high-tech procedures to determine the integrity of composite parts on airliners already in service.
The stepped-up inspection program, recommended by Airbus months ago and then reaffirmed by the European Aviation Safety Agency through a mandatory directive, calls for the first enhanced rudder checks to be completed within six months or 500 flights. Some inspections on certain planes must be repeated every 1,400 flights, a relatively short compliance schedule for checking structural integrity of primary flight structures.
The enhanced inspections, including ultrasound, X-rays and other techniques, stem from a March 2005 incident in which an Air Transat Airbus A310 suddenly lost its rudder over the Caribbean while flying from Cuba to Quebec. There were no injuries, and the plane returned safely to Cuba. But as a result, the plane's manufacturer, Canadian air-safety investigators and European regulators began investigating what, if any, additional inspection requirements were necessary to safeguard the integrity of such rudders used on early model Airbus aircraft.
While the changes primarily affect a relatively small number of older twin-engine A300s and A310s, they nevertheless represent a significant break from longstanding Airbus-developed maintenance standards for composite materials. Before the incident, Airbus, a unit of European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co., and European regulators maintained that simple visual inspections, combined with a mechanic's manually tapping on the surface of the composite rudders, were adequate to detect any potentially hazardous internal flaws or structural weaknesses.
But now for the first time, high-tech inspections methods are being required -- and must be repeated during the life of a what Airbus described as a "limited number" of Airbus jets -- to assure long-term rudder integrity. A spokesman for Airbus U.S. operations said only a small number of affected aircraft are flown by U.S. carriers. Spokesman Clay McConnell said about 400 A300 and A310 aircraft are covered by the added inspections, along with 20 wide-body Airbus A330 and A340 jetliners. Mr. McConnell said Airbus changed its rudder-manufacturing process before the 2005 incident.
The Star-Telegram reported on this issue a year ago (Nov. 12, 2006) because of the potential that it could be related to the 2001 fatal crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in New York:
Five years after an American Airlines jet crashed in New York City and killed all 260 passengers and crew members, questions linger about whether the type of plane involved has flaws that could imperil other flights.
An investigation concluded that the crash of Flight 587, on Nov. 12, 2001, in a Belle Harbor neighborhood, was largely due to pilot error. The co-pilot made overly aggressive attempts to steer the Airbus A300 as it bounced from side to side in turbulence created by another jet that had taken off ahead of it.
The pilot’s actions put so much stress on the aircraft’s vertical stabilizer, or tail fin, that it was torn off, fatally crippling the wide-body jet, the National Transportation Safety Board said in its final report. For a pilot to break the airplane’s structure in flight was unprecedented, the NTSB said.
But to this day, American, a group of its pilots who flew the jets and other observers contend that the safety board and its investigators rushed to blame the pilot and gave short shrift to evidence that pointed to potential flaws with the Airbus rudder controls or even a structural defect.
"I think there are a large number of troubling, unanswered questions" regarding the A300, said Michael Slack, an Austin attorney and former aerospace engineer. Slack represents the families of Flight 587 victims in liability lawsuits and has examined documents and questioned witnesses from American and Airbus.
Recently, new incidents involving damage to A300 tails and rudders have called into question the safety and reliability of the Airbus plane. They’ve also reinforced concerns about the growing use of carbon-fiber composite materials in manufacturing commercial airplanes.

Hultgren helps set STEM Scholars' sights high
U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-IL) recently led some fledgling aviators in the STEM Scholars youth leadership program on their way to earning their wings.
Hultgren and the students took part in the Kishwaukee Educational Consortium High School Aviation Program at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport, which teaches students about aviation and aeronautical careers.
“Kishwaukee Educational Consortium’s aviation program is a model for getting high school students excited and engaged in the aviation careers,” Hultgren said. “From learning about aeronautics and the power of flight to new technologies in aviation and tackling flight simulators, the students’ eyes were opened to the world of flight.”
The program is a cooperative effort between Kishwaukee College and local school districts. It allows students to learn – through classroom and simulator sessions – about aerodynamics, FAA regulations, primary and GPS navigation, air traffic control and equipment like flight computers and radios. The goal is to prepare students for the FAA private pilot written exam and teach them about potential careers related to aviation.
“Several students that have graduated from this program have gone on to the Air Force Academy or have become commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, aviation mechanics, airport managers or flight instructors,” Hultgren said. “I hope to see 14th District high school students pursue the many opportunities in aviation.”

On Thursday April 9, 2020, Chris Cassidy and two Russian astronauts were launched into space with a Soyuz MS-16 rocket at Site 31 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan being part of NASA expedition 63. Part of their payload: a PalmSens4 potentiostat.
In 2018 PalmSens was contacted by ZIN Technologies Inc. for help on a new project. This project involved a glove box to be used in space for conducting micro gravity experiments to examine the influence of gravity on electrolytic gas evolution. For this project they had selected the PalmSens4 potentiostat to conduct experiments on-board the International Space Station.
Due to the fact that the PalmSens4 proved to be a compact, robust and reliable option, providing many options for integration with other software, the instrument was selected for experiments on-board the International Space Station.
Spacecraft instruments are selected to meet a mission’s science goals. One of the essential parts for this scientific experiment was an electrochemical workstation that could endure the trip to space and be a reliable part of the experiment. Mass, form factor and being able to withstand extreme conditions are important aspects for anything that goes in to space. This is why most instruments that are launched in to space are custom designed one-offs.
The PalmSens4 was selected because it proved itself to meet most of these demands already off-the-shelve and only needed small modifications to be mission-ready. In order to get it ready for space, we removed the battery and Bluetooth radio.
Another important aspect was the options for integrating the instrument with the software that controls the experiment. Time in space is expensive and therefore these experiments should require as little time from the operator as possible.Link to mission page on NASA website

If you happen to fly frequently, you probably are familiar with the phenomenon of airline Memes. These are images or pictures used by the airlines to promote their brand or to provide some humor. Some of the most popular airline Memes include:
– The airline Meme is an image of an airplane, usually black and white or a color scheme of the same. Often the airplane is flying slowly or with its nose pointing upwards. It may be a plane with a passenger on board. This could either be a commercial flight or a domestic one.
– Airplanes may also be shown in action. Examples of this include pictures of the pilot taking off or the flight attendants helping passengers or luggage.
– Sometimes the airplane itself is depicted. For example, a large plane is flying through the sky or it may be seen flying in front of a house or even a building. Sometimes airplanes are shown to be descending. For example, if there is a storm and a plane has to descend, it may depict it as having a cloud of white or a blue appearance.
– When there is actually a plane in the air, the airplane may be depicted in an aerial shot or in a video. It may show an aerial view of a city or even a city in motion.
– Sometimes the airplane itself is shown in an aerial shot. In these cases, the plane may be seen flying through the city or it may be shown as being near or flying over the ocean. This is especially common when the airport is not visible.
While these are the most common, there are many other images and videos that can be used to promote air travel. As a result, airlines use the Internet in a variety of ways to increase traffic and to promote their brand or products.
There are also many companies that offer the services of creating and posting the images that airline passengers have already come to know and love. You can find companies on the Internet that offer a wide array of options including images of airplanes, as well as images of local businesses, and even animals, places, people, and events.
There are a few different kinds of companies that provide these services. The most common type is the company that offers the services of creating the actual images that you see when you look out your window or on your computer screen.
However, there are also companies that offer web sites for those who would like to make their own image. These web sites allow users to add their own images and can be easily accessed. There is also a company that offers the service of posting the same images to several different web sites.
A third type of company that offers services of this type is the company that offers the service of adding the images to the Internet and posting them online. They then take care of distributing these images and using them on the Internet.
Each of these types of company has its own set of benefits and uses. The first is the benefit of allowing people to post their own images on the Internet and have them appear on various sites. The second is the benefit of having an image that is immediately available to millions of people. The third is the benefit of providing images that can be seen by thousands or even millions of people.
Airlines can also benefit from using these services because they can increase the visibility of their brand. As more people see these images, the brand will be seen by more people.


From Bangalore Mirror
Bengaluru: With an eye on engaging the private sector to play a more active role in developing space technologies, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is setting up a space park on a 100-acre land in Whitefield.
Mars Orbiting Mission (MOM) programme director Mylaswamy Annadurai (left) said on the sidelines of the 103rd Indian Science Congress that Isro will be setting up the basic infrastructure at the space park, and will invite private industry players to work on space technologies there. He said the facility was expected to be inaugurated later this year and that the land to be developed into a space park in Whitefield belonged to Isro.
“The space park will see a lot of firms already working with Isro use our infrastructure and become partners,” he said. The plan appears to be in keeping with the future space projects planned by Isro in which the country’s premier space agency expects industry to play a much larger role.
The space agency is already planning the Aditya satellite project which involves launching a satellite to study solar coronograph, and Chandrayaan-2, the sequel to Isro’s Chandrayaan-1, which was launched in October 2008.
Chandrayaan-2 will be a lunar touchdown mission unlike Chandrayaan-1, which only orbited the moon to carry out experiments before intentionally being crashed into the lunar surface.
Annadurai said the launch of the GSAT 7-A satellite will be in 2017, even as Isro will have several other launches planned through 2016, including the GLSV MK-III. Among the important launches just round the corner this year is the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)-G5 launch on January 20.


Aircraft insurance is available to individuals and businesses who own aircraft. The coverages available can be selected for both business use as well as private pleasure use.
The insurance coverages that are available are for the “legal liability” of the aircraft owner for accidentally damaging property that belongs to individual owners as well as accidental injury cause to outside personal individuals and can include legal liability for accidental injury caused to any passengers.
There is also available insurance on the aircraft hull itself. The hull insurance can be arranged for those who want the hull to be insured while on the ground only or it can be acquired for those aircraft owners who want to insure the hull for both flight and ground risks of accidental loss.
The cost of insurance varies owing to the various underwriting and rating applications used by aviation insurer’s. Aviation insurers will take into account the year, make, model and value of the aircraft as well as the pilot’s level of experience, total hours of aircraft operation and the total hours experience on the type of aircraft being insured.


Air Traffic Radar Station
Traversing the tops of the North Pennines lies Britain’s highest paved road; at the end of it is an air traffic radar station. Sitting at 848m (2,782 ft), the station is a vital part of the air traffic control system for Northern England and Southern Scotland. An energy provider contacted Power Electrics when it required assistance with repairs and upgrades to the station’s mains and backup power systems, as well as temporary power while the works were conducted.
The energy provider was on site to complete an LV switchboard project and required temporary power to ensure their customer’s station stayed operational. They also required Power Electrics to upgrade a 1980s fuel transfer system as well as a series of remedial repairs that couldn’t occur while the system was live. The North Pennines’ weather challenged our team of generator experts while on site – sometimes limiting outdoor visibility to 10 feet.
Power Electrics provided a 500kVA generator to ensure the air traffic service station could continue to operate while work on its LV switchboard was undertaken. Our team replaced the almost 40-year-old fuel transfer system with a new custom-built Comap-based control system. These upgrades and repairs mean the station can continue to rely on its standby generator, should the mains energy supply drop.

This morning, the space shuttle Endeavour flew over my work on its way to Los Angeles, where it'll be displayed at the California Science Center. I was excited that a piece of history would be flying over the Bay Area, but I was also bummed out because I knew there was no way I'd be able to leave work to scout out a good location to watch the shuttle pass. But I went out the entrance of the office building and stood on the top of the steps, scanning the skies in hopes that I'd be able to at least glimpse the spaceship.
(One of the Board members came by and razzed me because he was certain I wouldn't be able to see a thing.)
Luckily, the sky was crystal clear and a brilliant blue, so that the white shuttle popped out of the background as it flew overhead. It was small on the horizon, but I could clearly see Endeavour riding on the back of a larger plane. It's amazing to think that the planes we fly in for commercial travel is so much bigger than the vehicle we send into freakin' SPACE. Over the shuttle, but close by, a fighter jet was flying too. The plane looked like it was ascending higher, after it had dipped closer to the ground so that it could be seen clearly from Moffett Field in Mountain View.
It was so, so cool! I just wish my photo (taken with my iPod) was better.

The first group of SpaceX internet satellites might have to wait another week to get to top orbits. Wednesday’s attempt to launch Starlink, the firm’s effort to get into the space-based internet business, was postponed because of strong winds in the atmosphere. The Thursday delay, SpaceX stated on Twitter, was associated with assessing the systems it planned to start. The company could try again next week.
“Standing down to update satellite software and triple-check everything again. Always want to do everything we can on the ground to maximize mission success, next launch opportunity in about a week,” SpaceX agents said through Twitter.
Starlink is intended to provide affordable internet access to people around the world. The first five dozen spacecraft will not be nearly enough to do so; SpaceX will require about 400 satellites to provide minimal coverage and around 800 for moderate coverage, Elon Musk has said.
“This would provide connectivity to people who either don’t have any connectivity today or where it’s extremely expensive and unreliable,” Musk said during a Wednesday news conference.
Lots of organizations provide satellite internet with geostationary communications satellites 22,200 kilometers over the surface. Since the data signals have to travel up 22,200 miles and then back down, the performance can be laggy. That doesn’t matter if you are streaming a film, but it becomes intolerable when playing an online game which relies on fast reflexes.
The Starlink satellites will orbit much lower between 210 and 710 kilometers above the surface. That reduces the laziness or latency. SpaceX has said performance ought to be comparable to ground-based cable and optical fiber networks which carry most internet traffic now. Starlink would offer high-speed net to parts of the planet that now are cut off from the modern electronic world.
Mark Juncosa, vice president for automobile engineering in SpaceX, said that using 12 further launches, SpaceX could offer decent coverage over the United States; 24 starts would put enough satellites to cover most populated regions, and 30 will cover the entire world.

About Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
India decided to go to space when Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set up by the Government of India in 1962. With the visionary Dr Vikram Sarabhai at its helm, INCOSPAR set up the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram for upper atmospheric research.
Indian Space Research Organisation, formed in 1969, superseded the erstwhile INCOSPAR. Vikram Sarabhai, having identified the role and importance of space technology in a Nation’s development, provided ISRO the necessary direction to function as an agent of development. ISRO then embarked on its mission to provide the Nation space based services and to develop the technologies to achieve the same independently.

"Epochal Soviet Flight Ends", June 21st 1937. Front page story about the Soviet Chkalov expedition, the first intercontinental flight over the north pole, The 63 hour flight departed Moscow and landed at Pearson Field in Vancouver, Washington (rather than Oakland, their original destination). If you fly between Europe and the West Coast, you’ll fly more or less the same great circle route Chkalov and his crew pioneered. Except, of course, that there aren’t any direct flights between here and Moscow.
There’s an obelisk commemorating the flight at Pearson Field, and a nearby road has been named Chkalov Drive since the 1970s.


Nigeria’s Air Peace Airline early in the week operated its inaugural flight to three African countries with an impressive passengers’ traffic, an indication that the African countries have confidence in the airline.
The airline whose aircraft departed the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Monday with over 80 per cent passenger load landed graciously at Freetown, Sierra Leone where the officials of government and and the Freetown airport expressed their excitement at the coming of Air Peace.
After the Freetown bound passengers had disembarked, the aircraft proceeded to The Gambia where it was also received by the country’s airport officials who pledged to offer the airline the required help to succeed.
The airline was equally well received by the Senegalese airport authorities who described the commencement of operations to the African countries as a sign of brotherliness and the determination of Air Peace to connect the continent together.
Reacting on the inaugural flight, the elated Chairman of Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema described seamless air connectivity as pivotal to the socio-economic development of countries within the Economic Community for West African States (ECOWAS) sub-region.
Onyema whole dyed his commitment to unlock the economies of Africa, offer air travelers on seamless business and leisure travels and also create jobs across the African countries the airline operates to, declared”The launch of our Freetown, Banjul and Dakar services today brings our regional network to four routes and a total of 16 domestic and West Coast destinations with more than 80 daily flights.

You get settled into your airplane seat with your tablet, e reader, or smartphone and start passing time until it's time for takeoff when you are forced by the flight crew to turn off your device and put it away.
This has long bugged many air travelers as you can
play work a lot during takeoff. This FAA regulation has been in place for many years, but recently it has come under scrutiny as it has been found by many reports that these devices simply don't emit enough radiation to cause a plane any problems. Many have become frustrated because pilots are using iPads in the cockpit during takeoff, but passengers are not allowed to. Some studies have proven that devices like the Amazon Kindle emit electrical interference of around .00003 volts per meter, much less than the 100 volts per meter planes are required to withstand.
The FAA feels your frustration and is going to look into the matter. While this does not mean they will change anything, at least they are looking into it and are going to give it a "fresh look".
Let's hope in a short time we can enjoy non-stop
gaming productivity in the sky on our mobile devices. Hit the source for more details on the ban.


I had an entire day to kill before the bowl game so I decided to spend it at the Kennedy Space Center. I love the history of the early space program, so this was like Disney World to me. You can see the pads that made history as well as the pads currently in use. The picture is of pad 34 where the Apollo 1 fire occured. In the background in the picture is the pad that launched the first unmanned Apollo missions and is used today for the Delta IV rockets. You get to see a lot of the equipment that was used to send these men up in the old days. It was very primitive, and makes the mystery of how we did it even greater. The new Tom Hanks’ IMAX movie makes you feel like you are on the moon, and is a great way to start your trip. I was at the museum for eight hours, and still had much more to see. I will have to find a reason to go back in the future to spend another day or two.

After several orbits through the magnetosphere, Wind was placed in a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrange point -- more than 200 Re upstream of Earth -- in early 2004 to observe the unperturbed solar wind that is about to impact the magnetosphere of Earth. Wind, together with Geotail, Polar, SoHO and Cluster, constitute a cooperative scientific satellite project designated the International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) program that aims at gaining improved understanding of the physics of solar terrestrial relations.

Nigerian Airlines Shelve Plan to Halt Flights
By Sahabi Abdul
Nigerian airlines shelved a plan to halt flights on Monday in protest at rising costs of aviation fuel and instead went into negotiations with the government.
The Airline Operators of Nigeria received promises from the government “to urgently intervene in the crisis being faced by airlines due to the astronomic and continuously rising cost” of aviation fuel, president of the group, Abdulmunaf Sarina, said in a statement.
After considering the likely impact a shut down will have on the economy and national security, members opted for dialogue with the government, he said.
Flight operations resumed across the country on Monday, according to reports. But there were few passengers at some of the airports, while some delays were reported at the Abuja airport.
Nigerian airlines have come under pressure from a spike in fuel prices, which was due to higher crude oil prices caused by the war in Ukraine.


Moose Hunting Joke
These three Moose hunters fly to Alaska and charter a float plane to fly back to this lake they visited last year. They land on the lake and the pilot taxis up to the point and lets the men out. They unload their gear and the pilot announces that he’ll be back in three days.
Three days later, the pilot lands on the lake and taxis up to the point. The men load the gear and then strap a moose onto the pontoons.
The pilot then says, “That’s It. Let’s go.”
One of the men says,
“What do you mean that’s it. We have two more moose to load.”
The men and the pilot then get into a long discussion about the carrying capacity of the plane, the temperature and the lift of the air, the length of the lake, the weight of the men and the gear and the moose.
Finally, one of the men says, “Look. Last year we took off from this same lake with the same kind of aircraft, the same wind and weather conditions, the same three men, the same gear and three moose.”
And a bit later in the argument, he adds: “The only difference between this year and last year is the Pilot!”
They continue to argue and finally persuade the pilot to do it. So they load the other two moose on the aircraft and strap them down on the plane.
They then taxi to the far end of the lake and turn the plane around. The pilot shuts it off and the men get out and drag it back into the weeds. They then get back into the plane and grab hold of the trees and branches. The pilot restarts the plane and revs it all the way up. At top speed, he shouts, “Let go.” The plane begins to go faster and faster across the lake.
Finally, the plane takes off.
But the pontoons hit the top of the branches. The plane goes end over end…. The men go flying. The gear goes flying….The moose go flying….
After a few moments, one of the men comes to.
He looks around and yells, “Bill!”
After a moment , he hears, “Joe!”
“Bill — where are we?”
“Joe ….. Looks like about fifty feet farther than last year!”


Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and sometimes is called the Red Planet. The rocks, soil and sky of Mars have a distinct red color, which has been observed by stargazers for thousands of years. The ancient Romans named Mars in honor of their god of war. Other cultures have had similar names for this planet. The ancient Egyptians, for example, named the planet Her Descher, which means "the red one".
The atmosphere of Mars is very different from Earth's atmosphere. It contains mostly carbon dioxide (C02) gas, with small amounts of other gases. Martian air contains only 1/1000 as much water as our air, but even this small amount can form clouds that ride high in the atmosphere or swirl around the tops of giant volcanoes. There is evidence that in the past Mars had a much denser atmosphere that allowed water to flow on the planet. Mars has features which resemble shorelines, gorges, riverbeds and islands. These features suggest that there were great rivers on Mars millions of years ago.
Before space exploration, Mars was considered the best candidate for having extraterrestrial life. When astronomers looked at Mars through a telescope, they could see changes in the color of the planet, which they thought were caused by changes in the seasons. Astronomers thought that there was a bloom of green plants during the warmer months and that the Martian vegetation became dormant in winter months. Scientists thought they saw straight lines crossing its surface. This led to the belief that canals for irrigation had been constructed on Mars by intelligent creatures.
In 1938, the American film director Orson Welles made a radio drama in New York city. The drama was based on a book called The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. When people listened to the radio story, many people belived that Martians were attacking Earth, and enough people believed in the story of invading Martians to cause a panic. The recent American movie Independence Day, where aliens attempt to conquer the Earth and are defeated by a computer virus, also appears to be based on this famous story.
In 1975, the American space probe Mariner 4 visited Mars and sent back 22 close-up pictures to Earth. The photographs showed a surface with many craters and naturally occurring channels but no sign of artificial canals or flowing water. In July and September 1976, Viking 1 and 2 landed on the surface of Mars. The three biology experiments aboard each space probe discovered unexpected and puzzling chemical activity in the Martian soil, but showed no clear signs of life. Many biologists believe the combination of solar radiation that saturates the surface, the extreme dryness of the soil and the soil chemistry make it impossible for living organisms to survive in the Martian soil. It is possible, however, that there was life on Mars at some time in the distant past.
The exploration of Mars by scientists from Russia and the United States continues. The Mars Pathfinder was launched by the USA in December, 1996, and will arrive at Mars on July 4, 1887. When the Pathfinder lands on Mars, it will release a small mobile car which will travel around Mars, taking pictures and gathering data and sending it back to Earth.
In the United States and other countries, however, there is a growing debate about whether or not a manned mission to Mars should take place in the near future. In the US and in other countries, organizations such as the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS), Space Frontier Foundation, the Deep Space Exploration Society and the First Millennial Foundation are lobbying governments everywhere to attempt a manned mission to Mars within the next few years. Such a mission would be very costly, much more so than the Apollo lunar landing program. By some estimates, it would cost as much as 7 trillion Won ($100 billion US) to conduct a manned mission to Mars. Some scientists and entrepreneurs, however, believe it could be undertaken for much less cost. They believe that humankind should undertake a large-scale, long-term committment to explore, colonize and terraform the Red Planet.
According to NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin, "we must accomplish at
least four objectives before we are prepared for a Mars mission. We must
successfully build and operate the planned international
Space Station, gain working-level experience with other nations in space
cooperation, develop an affordable mission scenario that can be accomplished
in about one decade, and allow time for the world economy to improve substantially". With these goals in mind, NASA currently plans to operate the Space Station for at least the first decade of the next century, sending astronauts back to the Moon or on to Mars during the second decade of the new century. This time frame could change with technological breakthroughs.
"The dream of human exploration of Mars is intimately tied to
the belief that new lands create new opportunities", says Dr. Michael Duke of the
NASA Johnson Space Flight Center. "In human history,
migrations of people have been stimulated by overcrowding, exhaustion of
resources, the search for religious or economic freedom, competitive
advantage, and other human concerns. Rarely have humans entered new
territory, then completely abandoned it. In the past, there have always
been a few people who were adventurous enough to adopt a newly-found
territory as their home. Most of these settlements have eventually
become economically self-sufficient, and have enlarged the genetic and
economic diversity of humanity. The technological revolution of the 20th
Century, with high speed communication and transportation and integrated
economic activity, has reversed the trend toward human diversity; however,
settlement of the planets can once again enlarge the sphere of human action
"The settlement of Mars presents new problems and challenges.
Principal among these is the absence of a livable natural environment.
That, and the current high cost of transportation are the main barriers
to human expansion there. The fact that humans, once on Mars, can not
easily return to the Earth, and then only at specified times
approximately 26 months apart, makes it necessary to develop systems with
high reliability and robustness. The creation of a livable, artificial
environment, is technically feasible. The high cost of transportation
will ultimately be reduced.
"The human exploration of Mars will be an enterprise that confirms
the potential for humans to leave their home planet and make their way
outward into the cosmos", says Duke.

The Lilium Jet will be the world’s first all-electric, vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet, but technological innovation aside, the project is a graceful design
At an airfield hangar near Munich, where Lilium’s HQ is based, a multi-disciplinary design team is hard at work on one of the most anticipated technologies of the 21st century. The Lilium Jet will be the world’s first all-electric, vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet. Technological innovation aside, it instantly strikes you as a state of grace and beauty. The minimalist exterior flows elegantly from the nose and canards to the main wings at the rear, 30 quiet but powerful electric jet engines are integrated into the wing flaps.
“We aimed to design a timeless and approachable exterior, that generates attraction and creates a strong bond to the passenger”, Thomas Vanicek, Head of Design, explains. “But our cabin experience and interior design are so extraordinary that we believe our customers will fall in love with the Lilium Jet immediately.”From day one, a perfect harmony between science and fine arts was key to truly create something game changing. It fuses the full potential of electric propulsion with the first of its kind design – delivering radical better way of mobility with zero operating emissions.
The Lilium design department consists of a highly engaged, diverse and multidisciplinary team that is focusing on a holistic design approach
“The interior is designed as one big capsule. We intentionally radically differentiated our design from every common helicopter or business jet design to reinvent a significantly new architecture. No sharp corners, no boxy shapes, the iconic cabin embraces the passenger – we call it: Space Sphere Cabin. Every line and the CMF is following our seamless flow philosophy, by creating different horizontal spheres to extend the spacious cabin feeling and maximize perceived safety, the comfort and lifts you up in a pleasant atmosphere during your flight.”
Our cabin XP & flow
Our mission doesn’t stop here. The Lilium design department consists of a highly engaged, diverse and multidisciplinary team that is focusing on a holistic design approach. The team is validating all ideations through smart mockups to accelerate the process through the design sprints. Every detail of the Lilium Jet is well considered. “We’re looking for the most circular, sustainable material options. Therefore, we’re choosing long-lasting, easier to recycle materials, such as undyed fabrics and bio-based leather. We’re looking at bringing new sustainable materials into the aviation world as well, to offer our customers a full spectrum of individualisation and personal touch”, says Thomas Vanicek.


To build on its leadership role in science education and enhance its appeal to audiences of all ages, the Adventure Science Center expanded its planetarium and added a wing dedicated to the exploration of space. Its new experiential and educational elements create a memorable setting for interactive adventures and strengthen its public identity. A two-story cutaway space station, visible from the highway through a 40-foot-high glass curtain-wall façade, has become the Center's icon.
Space Chase uses hands-on, body-on experiences, including multi-touch technology, games, and physical interactives. They serve as learning labs and are part of outreach programs developed by the Center that incorporate the local school curriculum. The Test Bed gallery is one part NASA space-science lab, one part astronaut-training center. Visitors experience the sensation of walking on the moon, discover the challenges of working in zero gravity, and launch model rockets to learn the roles of gravity, angle, and force in determining their trajectories.
In the Solar System Survey, a five-foot digital sphere, using internal digital projection, topographic maps, atmospheric data, and geological features, invites visitors to explore the relationships between the planets and their moons, to discover how much they weigh on Jupiter, and investigate why we have seasons.
Wonders of the Universe examines the visible and the invisible, the darkness of space and the brilliance of stars, infrared images of heat signature; it explores the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma rays.
The Nashville Business Journal named the Adventure Science Center one of the city's top tourist attractions.

Google is investing in Space X. It has committed 1 billion dollars to Space X’s plan to use hundreds of small satellites to give global internet access, especially in rural and isolated areas. Although the use of internet has exploded in the past two decades,there are still an estimated 5 billion not using the internet. As a result connecting these billions would be a massive financial windfall for any company that can pull of this feat. Google especially stands to benefit from this venture. It remains to be seen how feasible this mission will be. Satellite bases internet appears to have a bright future.
