adler planetarium poster
Adler Planetarium mission statement is to inspire exploration and understanding of the universe. The Adler Planetarium is a public museum dedicated to the study of astronomy and astrophysics. It was founded in 1930 by Chicago business leader Max Adler and is located in Chicago, Illinois. The Adler was the first planetarium in the United States. Adler Planetarium encourages its visitors to be hands on and learn through more than reading and visual elements. This is a 3-Dimensional poster that I have animated to show how it functions. The viewer pulls up on the gray lead of the pencil; the center of the rocket opens exposing the cockpit of the rocket ship. I combined a pencil for education in the form of a rocket ship for space and exploration.


“The message for humanity is that we need to become more loving, more forgiving of ourselves and of others, thus stopping the wheel of karma. We need to focus on becoming more of service to others on a daily basis. We need to focus on raising our vibration and our consciousness.” – Corey Goode
Presentation was given Sept 20 2017 at the Ufology World Congress in Montserrat Spain
Former pilot David Fravor described the experience at length after a secret Pentagon program studying UFOs was unveiled.
“…marks one of the most significant disclosures about government research into flying objects — and the so-far-unproven possibility of extraterrestrial aircraft — since Project Blue Book, a lengthy Air Force study of thousands of UFOs that was shut down in 1969. Project Blue Book failed to find “any technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge,” and no evidence of any “extraterrestrial vehicles,” according to the Air Force, though a small portion of the events it studied remain unexplained.”

Garle is one of the very few survivng 2010 RTers. Garle is most known for his passion for chemistry, science, And rocketry. Although 27 Of his rockets exploded, He still loves doing it and has never gave up.
-On Jan. 29, 2014, A small satellite Garle placed into orbit failed to work and burned up upon reentry, sending debris across Minnesota, Florida, and Bolivia. 2 Animals onboard perished and a toenail was recovered from the mouse.
-The recovered debris from the satellite that burned up were a tape from the sound recorder. The sound lasted about 5 Seconds and it was a short noise that sounded like someone says "Shhhh" And a squeak from a mouse, Then a noise that sounded like crumpling paper. That was audio of the ship breaking up.
Another piece was part of it was a fragment of the main engine, Found in Garle's home state. Oddly enough, It still had some rocket fuel in it.
There was remains of Mandarin the Mouse (The mouse that made the squeak in the audio). It was a bloody nail clipping.
-Garle is currently working on a space station for pets named Pet Express. The satellite is planned to orbit in around the stratosphere. After 3 years of service it will be destroyed upon reentry and crash landing.

Man landing on the moon has always fascinated me. With the limited technology we had in 1969, I can’t believe that we were able to fly someone 384,000 km to a satellite with no atmosphere and have them return safely. That moment when Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon was one of the greatest events of the 20th Century.
In The Shadow Of The Moon is a documentary which looks at the Apollo program. It was kick started by John F. Kennedy (in a famous speech) and ran from 1961 to 1975. There were ten missions in total. The film focuses largely on Apollo 11, the mission in which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped into history.
Director David Sington has reunited most of the astronauts who were involved in the Apollo program. We get to hear them reflect on their experiences and how their lives changed as a result. There are some very interesting stories (some serious and some comical) to be heard. You’ll be surprised to know what Buzz Aldrin was thinking to himself as he walked down the ladder of the lunar module to become the second man on the moon.
Sadly, Neil Armstrong does not appear in this documentary. Sington tried to convince him but said that Armstrong was reluctant to do interviews in front of a camera. They did converse via email however. Whilst I don’t think Armstrong’s non-appearance hurts the film, I still wish I could have heard his own thoughts. I’ll have to read his authorised biography (written by James Hansen) which was released in 2005.
The film includes a bunch of “never before seen footage”. For those interested in the space program, this will make it must see viewing. For me personally, the highlight was watching the old news stories (with anchormen such as Walter Cronkite) commentate the events as they happened. I also liked seeing the footage of people glued to their television screens across the globe. It was a story that united the planet.
I liked In The Shadow Of The Moon but it was a little repetitive in places. The astronauts all seemed to have similar thoughts about what it was like to travel through space and to see the Earth from such as great distance. As I’ve already alluded to above, I preferred watching the old archival footage as opposed to listening to the modern day interviews. It’s just a matter of personal preference I guess.


HONG KONG VHHH MSFS
Hong Kong International Airport (IATA: HKG, ICAO: VHHH) is Hong Kong's main airport, built on reclaimed land on the island of Chek Lap Kok.
The airport is also referred to as Chek Lap Kok International Airport or Chek Lap Kok Airport, to distinguish it from its predecessor, the former Kai Tak Airport.
Having been in commercial operation since 1998, Chek Lap Kok Airport is an important regional trans-shipment centre, passenger hub and gateway for destinations in China (with 45 destinations) and the rest of Asia.
The airport is the world's busiest cargo gateway and one of the world's busiest passenger airports. It is also home to one of the world's largest passenger terminal buildings (the largest when opened in 1998).
The airport is operated by the Airport Authority Hong Kong 24 hours a day and is the primary hub for Cathay Pacific (the flag carrier of Hong Kong), Cathay Dragon, Hong Kong Airlines, HK Express and Air Hong Kong (cargo carrier).
The airport is one of the hubs of Oneworld alliance, and also one of the Asia-Pacific cargo hubs for UPS Airlines. It is a focus city for many airlines, including China Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.
Singapore Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines and Air India all utilise Hong Kong as a stopover point for their flights.
HKIA is an important contributor to Hong Kong's economy, with approximately 65,000 employees.
More than 100 airlines operate flights from the airport to over 180 cities across the globe. In 2015, HKIA handled 68.5 million passengers, making it the 8th busiest airport worldwide by passenger traffic and the 3rd busiest airport worldwide by international passenger traffic.
Since 2010, it has also surpassed Memphis International Airport to become the world's busiest airport by cargo traffic.
The airport is managed and operated by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA), which was established on 1 December 1995.
To facilitate the increased traffic due to the third runway, Terminal 2 is currently under maintenance of adding a departures and arrivals section with immigration and will not be reopening until at least 2024.

07 Aug Q&A with Adirondack Balloon Flights by SunKiss Ballooning
The Lake George region is an area full of unique attractions. You can take a glassblowing class, zipline through the forests of the Adirondacks, parasail over Lake George, and go tubing, whitewater rafting, or ride a railbike along the Hudson River. You can even take a hot air balloon ride and experience the scenic Adirondack mountains like never before.
We sat down with Todd Monahan, founder, owner, and principal pilot, of SunKiss Ballooning, upstate NY’s finest hot air ballooning rides, to talk about all things ballooning. If a hot air balloon ride isn’t already on your bucket list, it will be after reading this!
Q: How did you get started in the ballooning business?
A: As a kid, I used to ride my bike to the Adirondack Balloon Festival every year and help anyone I could, chasing the balloons and helping to pack them away. Many years later, as a drug and alcohol abuse counselor, I challenged my clients to get involved with something they are passionate about. They turned it back on me, and I realized I had always wanted to fly a hot air balloon. So, I researched, talked to pilots, and started my training. Once I became a pilot, I wanted to fly in my childhood festival. However, they said I had to have a commercial pilot’s license…so I went through the process and got it. As a private pilot, I was able to fly friends and family, but as a commercial pilot, I realized I could start taking paid rides. It just grew from there; I get to do what I love and make a living from it.
Q: What does it take to become a hot air balloon pilot?
A: You have to become certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by taking a test and passing a flight test with an FAA examiner. You must get 10 hours of instructional flight with a commercial pilot to qualify for that test. Commercial takes 35 hours, I believe.
Q: Take us through a flight with SunKiss Ballooning step-by-step. What can folks expect once they make a reservation?
A: Once a reservation is made, we have to get a pilot and enough crew for the specific balloon we will be taking. The balloon is chosen by the number of passengers booked. We have balloons that take two and even some that take 12-14 people. We watch the weather leading up to the day to make sure it won’t be raining, windy, or foggy.
The passengers meet us at a local airport and hop in a van with us, and we drive to a location in the community that is chosen based on the wind direction and speed. This is so that we have the most options for landing spots. A lot of times, we use a simple helium balloon to show us what it’s doing higher in the air at the location we are at.
Once we get to our location, we unpack everything from the trailer (basket, balloon envelope, and fan) and lay out the balloon. Everything gets hooked up, and then we start the fan. The balloon gets what we call tabbed in, meaning the top of the balloon is velcroed to the balloon. Once the balloon has that nice round shape, the pilot lights the burner, and the hot air lifts the balloon to its standing position. The passengers get in, and we take flight. The crew on the ground packs up the fan and chases us. We fly for about 40 mins to an hour and find a good landing spot. The crew gets permission from the land owner for us to be there and meets us there. We deflate and pack up the balloon, then head back to the airport for the post-flight champagne toast.
Q: What advice would you offer someone who is feeling apprehensive about taking a balloon ride?
A: It is not as scary as one might think. It’s actually very calm and peaceful, with amazing views. Many think it is like an adrenaline ride, but it is not. The basket doesn’t swing or anything. I’m even afraid of heights, but I still love Ballooning!
Q: Do you have any involvement with the Adirondack Balloon Festival?
A: I attended as a kid on my bike, chasing balloons. Now, I get to actually fly the balloons and hopefully inspire kids like myself. It’s wonderful to be a part of a large, 50-year tradition!
Q: Do you have a favorite balloon? We love the sloth holding onto a tree branch.
A: Actually, the sloth, Tico, is owned by my other business with my twin brother Scott. Monahan Airways is a special shape business that only has shapes like Tico, Ally the pink unicorn, Kermie the frog, Simba the huge lion, and a bright orange tiger. The shapes are definitely my favorite because of the crowd’s excitement and hype around them at festivals. For my business, probably my original balloons, the red, orange, and yellow ones, because of the brightness, noticeability, and nostalgia.
Q: What was your most memorable balloon ride?
A: The first time I flew in Albuquerque, New Mexico, because of the roar of the crowd. It’s the largest festival in the world; it’s like you know you’ve made it when you fly there. My brother and I call it “the Superbowl of Ballooning.”

Cessna Caravan on the runway in Akobo, Jonglei State, South Sudan. The photo is taken a few minutes before it started to rain. As there is black cotton soil it means everyone have only a few minutes to run to the plane so we can take off. After 5 minutes of rain it would be impossible for the plane to take off due to the soil becoming too muddy. This photo was taken during an assessment in the rainy season.

Here is a fairly extensive selection of space ship comparisons… originaly found here
This isn’t actually complete.. a more complete list of space ships can be found here, (http://merzo.net/), they are not as side by side and the images are “categorized” by size and a little more comprehensive.
Update ! (10-13-2013)
David Latona over at Movie Pilot has recently posted these space ship comparison charts:


Tim Murphy, the Thomas Stephenson Head Coach for Harvard Football, is embarking on a week-long journey overseas to speak with men and women of the United States military as part of the Coaches Tour 2010. The purpose of the trip is to essentially provide service men and women with a break from the rigors of active duty while providing a temporary outlet of something sports-related.
Murphy is contributing periodic updates about the trip and the first installment is below.
Greetings from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kan.
On Saturday, I flew from Boston to Atlanta and then onto McConnell where I met up with the rest of our traveling party.
McConnell AFB is one of the nation’s oldest bases, having served the United States since WWII.
After arriving at Wichita’s National Airport, I was picked up by our tour pilot, Captain Garrett Bilbo, as well as our navigator, Captain Kyle Dinwiddie. We will be flying to seven countries in a nine-day span on a KC-35, which is a combination air refueling Supertanker and transport aircraft.
The KC-135 is a huge place that is surprisingly fast and has been serving the air force for the past 50 years. While the plane is spectacular, the one thing it is not is comfortable. There is no temperature control and temperature inside the plane ranges 10 to 90 degrees at different times.
I asked Capt. Bilbo about any tough situations he had been through in flying the KC-135 and he said that the plane had been struck by lightning once. The situation blinded the crew for 60 seconds and knocked out the avionics while blowing a chunk off the tail of the plane. Needless to say, since he handled that scenario without too much trouble, I’m glad to be flying with this crew.
Brigadier General Rick Devereaux will be accompanying us on this trip and one thing I have been immediately struck with and impressed by is his tremendous professionalism, enthusiasm and pride that he takes in his Air Force personnel. Tomorrow, our wheels go up at 01100 for the 10-hour flight to Germany to visit wounded soldiers at a military hospital there. More to come after I warm up or cool down – depending on the plane’s temperature.

All my friends.
I have 20 friends and they are nice to me and I be nice to them. They all are cool. I want some more friends. I want to be famous when I grow up and build robots that go around my house and clean. They will give us breakfast, clean rooms. My house is going to be the size of pluto. I am going to live in space. I am going to build a robot that I can climb in and I am going to have an invisible suit that I can fit in so when I wake up in the morning I don't have to put on my suit everyday. The suit helps me so I can get oxygen in space. It is going to be so cool in space. I am going to have a bat man mobile that can fly like a space ship. My bat man mobile will be the size of a star and I am going to fly to earth and people will think it is a UFO. I am going to travel to all the planets. It is going to be so cool in outer space. I get to have no one to tell me what to do and I am going to travel all around the earth. The earth is going to look small. And, I am going to make billions of spaceships and give the whole earth a spaceship so when people want to travel to space they can go in the spaceship and fly into outer space. People can go where ever they want. They can travel to any planet in outer space. Like Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Mercury, and stuff like that.

Jesse J. Wright
My name is Jesse Wright and I have been a programmer for since 1979 mostly at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena. My focus has been on the communication protocols between deep space spacecraft and Earth, software on the Earth for both commands to the spacecraft and results from the spacecraft, and flight software which is the software on the bird.
Outside of work I read extensively, all subjects, but not as much as I used to. I take photographs and I am trying to take better photographs. And I do some writing.
I am currently reading and experimenting on advanced Ruby on Rails techniques. Given time I need to finish my investigation of Risk Analysis. I am also trying to keep up with the political mess. My main focus is rule of law and the loss of our rights under the Constitution.

Nasa is showing off a 1:1 scale model of the James Webb Space Telescope in Austin during #SXSW – that’s the Sequel to the Hubble Telescope. I was kinda expecting it to be bigger, given that it is the bigger, better, new and improved version of the Hubble Telescope, so my first comment was “Oh! I thought it’d be bigger!” – (Words a girl should never utter, I know).
Like most other space gizmos I’ve seen, it would fit in perfectly to adorn a Gay Pride Pram, all golden-glittery with fancy golden antennas and what-not. This one also comes with it’s own trampoline underneath:
The show was pretty amazing, and very cool for kids: Infrared camera-demo, lots of swag and talk to a real astronaut on video conference. Respect to NASA for spreading their knowledge freely to everyone – as they do all over the internet as well!
And we did learn a few things as well: The James Webb Space Telescope will “see” infrared, hence the gold hexagonal shield. The #JWST will not be orbiting the Earth, but follow Earth (in it’s shade) around the sun. And for comparison the size of the Hubble’s mirror is about the size of three of the hexagonal panels on the JWST.
Here is Nasa’s animation of the JWST unfolding in space:
Lots (and lots) more from Nasa on the James Webb Space Telescope.


More Than 150 Killed in Spain Plane Crash.
The deadliest plane crash in Spain in more than 20 years has taken the lives of at least 153 people and injured 19. As the Canary Islands-bound plane made its second attempt to take off from the Madrid airport, it careened off course, crashed in a nearby gully, and burst into flames. On a first take-off attempt, the pilot reported a mechanical problem and returned for repairs, delaying the flight by about an hour. A number of the crash survivors were flung into a nearby stream that protected them from more severe burns. An investigation will be launched in order to determine the cause of the terrible accident.Source: In the News provided by The Free Dictionary.
With this post I want to show my condolences to the victims and their relatives of this terrible accident.

Planting the U.S. Flag on the Moon
We humans attach great meaning to planting our flags in documenting our travels. In centuries past explorers raised their flags to claim territory for their sovereigns. More recently explorers and adventurers have posted national flags more to announce to all, “We were here first!”
The image of Columbus raising a flag as he stepped ashore in the New World has become iconic. Arctic explorer Robert Peary had a forty-five star U.S. flag which he carried with him as he traversed the Polar Regions. Upon reaching key sites, he cut out pieces of his flag to leave behind. His wife would later patch the flag with white cloth before Peary’s next exploration. Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay carried the flags of Great Britain and Nepal in the first ascent of Mount Everest.
It was, therefore, not surprising that American astronauts carried the American flag to the moon beginning with the first moon landing on July 20th in 1969. Announcing “the eagle has landed”, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans on the surface of the moon. Later during the historic first moon walk the two men planted the Stars and Stripes.
In all the United States has completed six manned lunar missions, twelve American Astronauts have stood on lunar soil, and for each moon landing a ceremony took place as they posted U.S. flags to announce to the world, “We were here.” We don’t know when humans will return to the moon, but when they do six American flags will still dot the lunar surface to remind them of those who came before.


Paper planes is a Twitter bot that tells the story of paper planes migrating to the moon. The bot generates an image of randomly placed paper planes flying east. These images have a narrative attached to them as these planes fly out. The narratives are witty and short, like: “Flying looks good today”, or “We’re going to the moon. OkBye.”. The bot then posts these to Twitter after regular intervals of time. I used Node.js to implement this bot. I learnt making this bot from Daniel Shiffman’s wonderful video tutorials, and the Twit-js library by Ttezel.

On May 10, 1940, the Germans achieved a stunning success by completely neutralizing one of the most heavily fortified fortresses in Europe with a new weapon - the combat glider. The Army Air Corps then established its own Glider Pilot program with the Air Force and Army both grappling for and rejecting command of the glider pilots. The glider pilots were not considered power pilots - nor were they considered infantry. The end result was a group of young men looking for adventure, belonging seemingly to no command other than on paper that through the course of the war went into combat with varying amounts of equipment, training, survival gear or none at all. The glider pilots were the independent bastards of the Army Air Corp in their "flying coffins" who demonstrated sheer guts, talent, skill and luck in their missions and helped turn the tide of the war. Suicide Jockeys: The Making of the WWII Combat Glider Pilots is the only work of its kind. It delves deeply into the making of the glider pilot and the logistical, strategic and tactical use of the plane they flew - capable of carrying men and equipment in close proximity to each other and crash landing behind enemy lines.

“I thought I was dead already, I heard others mentioning God and Allah and praying for forgiveness” – The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen recalled.
Obiri Boahen was sharing his experience after a Starbow aircraft skidded off the tarmac last Saturday, injuring at least four persons.
The Kumasi bound aircraft, ATR72-500 with registration 9G-SBF, skidded off the tarmac during its take-off run.
A statement from the airline said even though “all 65 passengers and five crew members disembarked, as normal,” five passengers on board flight S9 104, sustained injuries; albeit minor.
The domestic airline has since “suspended its operations”.
The NPP Guru who was on board the plane in an interview on Neat FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ lauded the pilot on board for his experience to save many lives despite reports that the pilot defied poor weather warnings to take off.
Meanwhile, some passengers have threatened to take legal action against the airline for failing to foot their medical bills.
According to them, the airline after the incident left them to their fate and they had to pay for their own medical bills after being attended to at the Airport clinic.

FlyNamibia has announced it will, from April next year, launch flights between Windhoek and Victoria Falls.
The flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Victoria Falls International Airport.
The new route is a key element in Zimbabwe’s regional network expansion strategy, FlyNamibia managing director Andre Compion said.
It will also enhance regional connectivity, promote tourism within Namibia, and position Windhoek as an alternative gateway to the region.
FlyNamibia’s partnership with Airlink will give it access to the GDS, which will allow it to promote its new flights and packages to markets that were previously beyond reach. The airline is also planning to unveil new routes to Botswana and Angola in the future.
The new flights will effectively more than triple FlyNamibia’s current schedule of regional flights.
Compion also revealed that the airline was entering the final phase of preparations for the introduction of flights to Luanda, Angola.
FlyNamibia is a Namibian private airline that mostly plies domestic routes from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Ondangwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, Lüderitz, and Oranjemund. The airline also has a regional route between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Cape Town International Airport.
The airline recently became a member of IATA. This membership will give FlyNamibia access to a number of benefits, including global recognition and acceptance, access to IATA’s global network of airlines and travel agents, and support with marketing and sales.

This weekend, the City of St. Thomas will be graced with the roaring rumble of aircrafts flying overhead. If you’ve lived in St. Thomas for long, you know what it means to step outside one day and see the spectacular formation of the Snowbirds elegantly glide across the sky:
The Great Lakes International Airshow is back.
The Airshow, held at the St. Thomas Municipal Airport, has been a staple of our region for years, even being voted the Best Airshow in Canada by Airshows Review Magazine.
Locals and visitors alike have missed the Airshow since its last run in 2013, and we could not be more excited for its return this June 18th and 19th!
Many of us have great memories of the Airshow in passing years; some may even recognize with ease aircrafts that have frequented the event. But there is a lot about the 2016 Airshow performances that you might be interested to know.
So, we bring to you the low-down on some of the many fantastic performances you will see at the Great Lakes International Airshow this year...
McDonnell Douglas F-18 Hornet
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) CF-18 Demonstration Team will perform with their F-18 Hornet at the Airshow. This year, their theme is the 75th anniversary of the WWII British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, displaying training scheme yellow. This elegant and fierce fighter jet is a crowd favourite, with incredible abilities that are sure to impress all.
Jelly Bean Plane
Look out for the Jelly Bean plane, flown by Kent Pietsch, with a remarkably unique act that will thrill audiences with edge-of-your-seat aerobatic stunts.
EV0 1 Experimental Plane
Tom Martin, a local farmer, will be flying his EV0 1 Experimental plane, which zooms at up to 442 kph.
The distinct CC-130 Hercules, which can only be described as mammoth in size, will also amaze crowds at the 2016 Airshow. With four engines, it is capable of carrying up to 78 combat troops and is used for missions such as troop transport, tactical airlift, search and rescue, refueling, and training.
The CH-146 Griffon, an RCAF helicopter, will also conduct a performance. The Griffon is used for a variety of missions, including search and rescue, reconnaissance, casualty evacuation, and counter-drug operations.
Dehavilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk
Also present will be the Dehavilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk, often referred to as “Chippie” or “Poor Man’s Spitfire,” which was used as a primary trainer after World War Two.
North American Harvards
Known for its growl caused by its supersonic propellor tips, the North American Harvards will be performing, too. The Harvard served as an advanced trainer during World War Two, with a 600 hp Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine.
And of course, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be attending! The Snowbirds, or the 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, consist of nine aerobatic planes flown by members of the RCAF. Although the Air Demonstration team was formed in 1978, the 431 Squadron actually served in the Second World War, with many battle honours, including Normandy. The Snowbirds will once again perform their breath-taking aerobatics as a team at the 2016 airshow.
Other performances include those of Londoner Pete McLeod, Manfred Radius, the Pyro Jet Truck, Boeing Stearman PT-27 Kadet, and Fleet Finch, which are all surely going to be awe-inspiring.
As if the astonishing aerial performances are not great enough, there is SO much more to do at the Great Lakes Airshow! On display will be a static collection, which will include a variety of historic aircrafts. Plus, Central Helicopter and the St. Thomas Flight Centre will be giving rides at the show. There will be an Air Experience Pavilion and lots of vendors, food and drinks, and Kids’ Zone.
The Airshow is a magnificent event that we are truly lucky to have so close to home.
You won’t want to miss it - the grounds are open from 10:00am-6:00pm on June 18th and 19th, with the shows beginning at 1:00. For more information, see www.greatlakesinternationalairshow.ca.
Railway City Tourism will also have a tent at the Airshow, so be sure to visit us - we’ll see you there!
Hi there! We are here reporting from the L&PS Station - home of Railway City Tourism. We do our best to bring you seasonal and relevant information on what to see and do.

Municipal Airport looking to expand
by Crystal Gottfried, Staff Writer
New Braunfels Municipal Airport General Manager John Holler reported that Silver State Helicopters is considering further expansion here with plans to build a gas station for planes.
The plans for a "fixed-base operations center" next to the airport terminal building are currently being developed because the airport's soon-to-be-constructed traffic control tower makes an FBO feasible.
According to Holler, the airport will be able to cater to more corporate jets and charter planes once the control tower and the new, upscale FBO are built.
Silver State originally presented the new facility as part of a $15 million expansion project that would be supported by the city of New Braunfels through a bond package, but individual council members were concerned about the cost of the project and the issue was dropped without comment.
Through the Industrial Development Corporation (4B) Board, Silver State received an agreement from the city to fund the air traffic control tower's construction plus a $1.6 million bond to expand an existing hangar and add classroom space so that Silver State can begin an air traffic control training program here.
The Federal Aviation Agency has not yet approved the tower and hangar expansion however Airport Manager Andy Spinks reported that he expected the projects to be completed by the end of August or in early September.
Holler reported that he already has ten students signed up for air traffic controller classes in New Braunfels as soon as he has the training space and he expects to have a full class of fifty students once he begins marketing the program locally.
Holler is hoping that his first class will include some Comal County high school graduates.

The other day Raul told me that he wants to go to the moon. haha. He wants to be an astronaut and be in a rocket to the moon. Hmm...I asked him why? He said he wants to take the aliens back to earth and put them into the river. Well, I don't know why suddenly he wants the aliens to be in the river but it's great to have him thinking like that. At least, he has a dream to chase...:-)Kids are just so cute. They say the cutest thing.


The incident that happened in Chennai Airport last week would leave you in surprise when an Indigo Pilot was accused for delaying the flight because of absence of his Co-Pilot and putting all the blame on Air Traffic Controller.
The latter has given clear instructions to the Indigo, not to misguide the travelers and put false blame on them.
After the incident, it’s been reported that Indigo has sent an email to all its pilots guiding them not to repeat such a thing in future.
Source : livemint
The departure of Indigo flight 6E-859, operating on the Chennai-Madurai route, had already been rescheduled to 1225 hours from 1145 hours, which was informed to passengers via text message.
Coming Back into the incident, the Pilot wasn’t aware of the fact that one of the ATC members was present in the plane while he made the announcement that plane was delayed because Air Traffic Controller was not clearing the aircraft’s and it all led to the turmoil.
In response to the announcement, the member called the ATC asking for the reasons to which ATC responded there was no problem from their side, not only that, they told that PIC has not even asked for a push back from tower controller.
Source : ytimg
The ATC then meet the PIC, to his surprise he didn’t found the Co-Pilot anywhere near his seat. The Pilot was then accused for making a deceiving statement, unnecessarily blaming the Management and hampering the reputation of AIC in presence of public leaving the PIC embarrassed.
The Pilot in Command apologized for such an act and delay which is caused by the absence of Co-Pilot.
The captain, while monitoring ground frequency noticed there was ramp and air congestion prevailing on other aircraft and it gave him an excuse for making up an announcement citing the same. But, it wasn’t successful as ATC came and the captain has to make a second announcement, apologizing for the delay and told the real reason behind that.
ATC also said they would have appreciated if the PIC has handled the issue in a matured way and instead of putting the blame on and intervening with operating crew just before the flight as they were supposed to take care of the safety issues.

General aviation services include hangar rental and aircraft tie-downs.
Myrtle Creek Municipal Airport (16S) is located two miles southwest of Myrtle Creek, just outside the city limits, on approximately 87.26 acres, owned and operated by the City of Myrtle Creek, Oregon. The airport is bordered by U.S. Interstate 5 (I-5) to the west and the South Umpqua River to the east. Surface access is provided via Weaver Road and Aviation Drive, which connect to I-5 at Exit 106. I-5 is the primary north-south transportation corridor in Western Oregon and provides connections to the Cascades and points east, the Oregon Coast, as well as serving many communities located in the valleys of Western Oregon.
The existing airport site was initially developed and maintained by the State of Oregon Department of Transportation - Aeronautics Division. Initial improvements completed in 1970 included construction of the paved runway with aircraft turnarounds at each end and the aircraft parking apron. The airport operated as Tri-City State Airport, under the management of the Aeronautics Division. Ownership of the airport was transferred from the State to the City of Myrtle Creek in 1989 and the airport was renamed Myrtle Creek Municipal Airport. The airfield was dedicated to Mr. Eustace French in recognition of his many years of service to the airport and community. A long-time area resident, airport commissioner, pilot and aircraft owner, Mr. French was instrumental in the operation and improvement of the airport following its transfer to the City.
Recent airport improvements include runway resurfacing (2” asphalt overlay), construction of a full-length parallel taxiway, apron expansion, a new hangar development area, installation of lighting and visual guidance indicators on Runway 03, and reconfiguration of the airport access road. Three privately owned hangars have been constructed at the airport since the last master plan was completed.
Myrtle Creek Municipal Airport is located along the banks of the South Umpqua River in a narrow valley. Airport elevation is recorded at 619 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Mountainous terrain is located in close proximity to the airport and the traffic pattern for both runway ends are located on the east (southeast) side of the runway.
Maximum elevation figures (MEF) depicted on the Klamath Falls Sectional Aeronautical Chart provides pilots with information on the highest known terrain elevation (above mean sea level - MSL) within defined quadrangles. The MEFs surrounding the airport are 4,600 feet (north); 5,600 feet (south, southwest); 5,600 feet (west); 3,600 feet (northwest); and 6,500 feet (east).
Myrtle Creek Municipal Airport has a single paved runway (Runway 03/21), which is oriented in a northeast-southwest direction. Runway 03/21 is 2,600 feet long and serves predominantly small single-engine aircraft associated with transient and locally-based activity. As noted earlier, the nearby mountainous terrain immediately west of the runway requires an east traffic pattern (left traffic on Runway 21, right traffic on Runway 3). The runway is served by a full-length parallel taxiway on its west side. All existing landside facilities (apron, aircraft fueling and hangars) are located on the west side of the runway.

How can you specify Flight Simulator Games? Well, if you’d enjoy the thrill of piloting an Airbus A380, or a Boeing 747, or about a World War 2 Spitfire, or else, the hottest Army Combat Jet – on your home – then you need to download the most recent Flight Simulator Software since this game is for DominoQQ Online.
Games are essentially played in a 3 dimensional world in which you’re the pilot, you’re provided a plane and your duty is to fly to several areas of the Earth, generally to provide or pick up something and land and take off at various airports.
On how you can face specific issues like technical issues or altering weather and obviously it’s your obligation to conquer those issues and land safely.
Now, that’s known as the Flight Simulator sport, but using a flight simulator you can just play your own if you would like to. You are able to arrange what airplane you would like to fly, and then select a place that you wish to visit, you may check out current charts and as soon as you’ve improved the abilities of shooting off, you away. You may then programme in varying weather to check your abilities in all kinds of flying circumstances.
Here you’ll be astonished at the truth of this cockpit and controllers. They’re so similar to the actual thing.
The joystick will undoubtedly supply you with the finest flying experience and they’re available online or at shops quite cheaply.
Games are played at real time, meaning if you’re flying into a muddy place, that cloudy place will exhibit itself to you from beyond the cockpit at precisely that moment. You might even select which dimension you wish to up to establishing where you would like to be. By way of instance, if you would like to be within the cockpit, then you will realize that the cockpit and place in three dimensions as a true pilot will see this, oryou may decide to be outside the airplane, where you will observe a picture of this airplane, just like you’re escorting it.
The most wonderful thing also is that you may learn how to fly on your local area, even fly within your house and just take off and land in the regional airport.
There’s a good deal of instruction to be learnt about a flight simulator, but not only the practical side of learning how to fly, however, additionally you will find out how to read charts, weather maps and total navigation too.


The 2nd Graders blasted off on a mission to outer space with their Captain Shields and Captain Toubin. Their itinerary started off with touring the Solar System. The students learned about the different planets by reading books, short passages, and gathering information from various charts. Each student created an interactive lap book as they learned about planets, phases of the moon, sun, and new vocabulary related to the solar system. Then each chose a space-related writing prompt to create a writing sample using strategies and grammar that they have learned thus far in the school year. Students acted out the revolution of the planets around the sun on their orbits allowing them to learn kinesthetically and concretely. We even included a moon that rotated around the earth! In addition, they used iPads to access more facts, images, and stories on a new reading app.
Second Grade continued their journey discovering the phases of the moon, moon landings, and famous astronauts that have walked on the moon. They used Oreos to create a model of the phases of the moon and used the new terms they had learned including waning, waxing, gibbous, and crescent. The students learned about the sun and constellations. They made individual shadow boxes with tiny holes around the sides and a larger peep hole to peer inside to create a constellation like image.
The culmination of the Space Unit was an exciting, educational field trip to NASA where the students heard from speakers and saw interactive displays about the history of space travel, the moon, and NASA. Enjoy the pictures from this solar system unit.


Oh, Right. I have a blog.
So here's the e-mail I got from my chair this morning:
"I write to inquire if any of you have a need for a small grant (~ less than $400 or so) for either travel (must be complete by 5/15), equipment, or research requirements (ie, indexing, translation, student assistance)?"
I asked for an exorcist for my printer, which eats paper, but only when I'm rushing to print something out in the five minutes before class.
Two hours later, I receive the following e-mail from the College of Liberal Arts' research liason:
"The Chancellor’s Office has asked our University to complete a survey regarding the use of aircraft or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) by any of our research programs. If you are using any type of aircraft or UAV in your research, please e-mail B-- N--."
I'm pretty sure I need to put in another funding request with my chair. There has got to be a way I can incorporate an unmanned drone into my research, right?

I recently realized I finally have a PC powerful enough to run Microsoft Flight Simulator X without much slowdown. I freaking love flight sims, but it’s always been a pain to run them! As a result, I’ve been looking at some of the more awesome add-ons for FSX, and ran across the A2A Simulations Supermarine Spitfire with Accu-Sim.
This video is just messing around in FSX, attempting to fly A2A’s Wings of Power 3: Spitfire without any prior knowledge. Just me, a plane, and a healthy serving of dumb.

akihabara news (tokyo) — vertical aerospace revealed in its trendy economic announcement that nomura securities offered the united kingdom-primarily based evtol-maker a mortgage of up to us$one hundred million to allow vertical to hold a big proportion of its ownership.
like several evtol groups, vertical is presently spending a variety of money on research, development, and manufacturing of its new aircraft (in the course of the primary 1/2 of 2022 it mentioned a internet working lack of about us$47 million) and it’s going to now not begin making substantial earnings till its aircraft is licensed to carry passengers–a prospect which is probably still several years away.
on this context, vertical also announced that it has finished building the primary full-scale prototype of its vx4, a five-seat evtol version anticipated to ferry passengers through the skies in addition to tackle shipment transport and different missions.
stephen fitzpatrick, vertical founder and ceo, stated, “i am delighted to percentage that we have reached a essential engineering milestone by means of finishing the build of our full-scale vx4 prototype, and we’ve now begun putting it thru its paces for an in depth, multi-month flight test software.”
nomura’s mortgage isn’t always vertical aerospace’s first connection with japan. ultimate autumn, two separate partnerships were introduced.
ultimate september, it turned into found out that marubeni corporation signed a conditional preorder for up to 2 hundred vx4 plane, with a watch toward running an air taxi carrier that could, as an instance, bring passengers from narita airport to tokyo station.
much less than a month later, it become introduced that japan airways (jal) might purchase or hire up to one hundred vx4 plane through avolon, a dublin-based totally international aircraft leasing enterprise.
globally, vertical says that it now has preorders for up to at least one,four hundred units of its vx4 plane.


We know people enjoy excitement and thrills, we want to experience riding in fast cars, highspeed motor cycles, roller coasters or in fighter jets. The natural human curiosity and lust for thrills mean that everyone can enjoy an experience on board a simulator. A simulator is a safe and flexible entertainment attraction that can take you on ride of a lifetime. Our simulators are based on sophisticated technology developed for multi-million pound flight simulators used by Astronauts, Airline Pilots and Jet Fighter Crews.

Recently, the Chief Executive of Ryanair, Michael O’Leary, has revealed the company’s plan for expansion to the Financial Times. He is looking to double Ryanair’s current fleet size of about 270 aircrafts as well as increase the passenger numbers from 72.1 million in 2010/11 to between 120 million and 130 million by the end of 2021. This ambitious plan, if followed through to fruition, would place Ryanair among one of the largest airlines in the entire world.
Ryanair is Irish low-cost airline headquartered in Dublin Airport with around 270 Boeing 737 to 800 airplanes and over 1100 routes across Europe. The company has made its name through rapid expansion, which resulted from the deregulation of the European aviation industry near the end of the 20th century, as well as a low-cost business model. Currently, Ryanair has a number of competitors also providing flight services cheaply, most notably, EasyJet.
For the proposed expansion, Ryanair has been in contact with its long-term US supplier, Boeing, as well as the Russian aircraft manufacturer Irkut and the Chinese Comac. However, since all of the airplanes that Ryanair currently own were manufactured by Boeing, analysts speculate that if the company added in fleets from another maker, the incompatibilities would undoubtedly increase some costs.
Regardless of which maker to purchase planes from, Ryanair has its eyes set on expansion as O’Leary said that the financial troubles in the Eurozone would boost demand for low-cost travel and could help Ryanair to increase its market share.


Right now my favourite Ipod Touch game is X-Plane 9 Extreme, by Laminar Research. This game is so realistic, it blows your mind. It is not an easy game, although it is probably more a simulator, yet it is the easiest of all the X-Plane games. I like this X-Plane game better than the other games (Helicopter, Airliner etc.) because of the planes in this game. The game contains four of the most advanced and unusual planes ever made:
- F-22 Raptor - powerfull and etremely maneuverable.
- SR-71 Blackbird - the worlds fastest airplane
- B-1 'Bone' Bomber - a heavy plane that still has high speeds.
- B-2 'Jet' Bomber - the popular stealth shaped bomber.
What do you think of this game? Leave a comment!


Federal officials are investigating an incident involving a United Airlines flight that experienced a sudden drop near the coast of Maui in December 2022.
The plane reportedly plunged about 600 feet, causing some passengers and crew members to suffer injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are both looking into the incident, which occurred on United flight 3033 from Los Angeles to Honolulu on December 12.
According to the Associated Press, the airline initially said that the drop was caused by turbulence, but some passengers have disputed that claim, saying that the descent was more severe than typical turbulence. The investigation will likely focus on the aircraft’s equipment, maintenance, and other factors that could have contributed to the incident.
United Airlines has released a statement regarding the investigation, saying, “We are fully cooperating with the NTSB and FAA as they investigate this incident. Safety is our top priority, and we take all incidents seriously.”
The airline has not yet released a detailed account of the incident or any findings from its own internal investigation.

So you have decided to become a pilot – Congratulations! Flying is a wonderful experience whether you plan to approach it as a hobby, or a career. Your family and associates will certainly be supportive, if a slightly apprehensive, about your decision to “take to the air”. Obtaining a pilot’s license takes a substantial amount of time and resources. Choosing the right flight training school is paramount to your satisfaction and success.
The flight school you attend should bring you into a world of disciplined training which can be slightly intimidating in the beginning, but will pay off many times later in your time in the cockpit. No longer will you be flying in coach, waiting for a stewardess to bring you a drink and some pretzels. Now you will be in control of not only the aircraft you are flying, but the lives of yourself and those flying along with you.
The two types of flight schools in America are referred to as Part 61 and Part 141 schools respectively. Each type can bring you the knowledge and experience you are looking for. The approach to becoming a pilot differs between the two however.
Part 61 pilot courses have more flexibility as to material presentation, and the order in which it is presented to the prospective pilot. There can be a greater level of creativity on the instructor’s part in training you to handle an aircraft. This approach often brings with it instructors who are less rigid, and perhaps more creative.
Part 141 training schools have a curriculum that is strictly mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The learning material and presentation order are the same from one Part 141 flight school to the next. There are obviously benefits to this approach as well. Students can pause training at one school, and pick up right where they left off at another. Perfect for the prospective pilot who may relocate, or has to budget flying school over a period of time.
Either type of flight training is effective, since all pilot license testing is standardized. Some would argue that those attending a Part 141 school may have a leg up in becoming a professional pilot, as there are some assurances that their training was strictly governed by the FAA. The others would point out that the flexibility of the Part 61 approach allows instructors to focus on areas where students may need some extra work.
An important part of the initial process of choosing a training facility is to research what is available in close proximity to your residence or place of employment. Asking around at local airports or researching this on the web can narrow your prospects in a hurry. Many smaller airports have flight schools on location. Narrow your list down, and check out those of interest to you before making a final decision.
Speaking to the instructors and administrators is a good beginning for you, since you will be able to quickly gauge how comfortable you feel with a facility or trainer. Try also to speak with some current students and even pilot’s who have graduated from the schools you are considering. The flying community is a close knit group usually more than willing to share their personal experiences (good and bad) with prospective pilots. Getting to know the individual who will be your primary trainer is a must, as you will be spending quite a bit of time together in a cockpit as you accumulate your hours in flight.
Taking this approach will allow you feel comfortable with your decision as to where you will be investing a significant amount of time and money. This alone will give you a much greater chance of achieving your dream than writing a check to the first flight school you find in the Yellow Pages.

“Yuri Gagarin 1934 – 1968 Soviet Cosmonaut and first human to voyage into space
Flew in to Manchester Airport to be greeted by thousands of supporters
12th July 1961”
Location: Terminal 3, Manchester Airport
Erected: September 2011
This little black commemorative plaque can be found in Terminal 3 at Manchester Airport.
The plaque was unveiled in September 2011 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the visit of Russian Yuri Gagarin. Gagarin was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut, who became the first man to journey into outerspace. This happened on 12th April 1961 when his Vostok spacecraft completed one orbit of the earth.
Due to the momentous occasion, Gagarin became internationally famous and was awarded many different medals and titles, his highest honour of all being ‘Hero of the Soviet Union’.
The Union of Foundry Workers came to the realisation that Gagarin was once a foundry worker himself before becoming a cosmonaut, and as such invited them to their headquarters in Manchester. Although the Soviet embassy in the UK wanted to invite him to Longon as part of his world tour, the British government was initially hesitatant to grant him a visa. However, he was eventually allowed to come for one day (later extended by two days), three months after his space flight, which allowed him to visit Manchester between 11-14 July 1961.
Yuri Gagarin later died in 1968, when the MiG-15 training jet he was piloting crashed.


Alain Charmeau runs ArianeGroup, the proprietor of rocket launcher ArianeSpace, a 50%-owned subsidiary of European aerospace gigantic Airbus NASDAQOTH:EADSY.
That feels like a enjoyable job, but as Charmeau published in a recent interview with Germany’s Der Spiegel, or not it’s also a troublesome job — it requires Charmeau to compete with two of the greatest organizations in spaceflight, the united states’s United inaugurate Alliance ULA and SpaceX.
Of the two, SpaceX is Ariane’s larger headache. whereas ULA boasts bigger rockets and more suitable payloads than Ariane can offer, it additionally charges an arm and a leg for its launches, giving Ariane a huge knowledge on rate when competing for commence contracts. SpaceX, even so, prices a whole lot less for its launches than both ULA or Ariane charge.
Competing on cost
really, SpaceX is so low-priced that Ariane’s CEO worries SpaceX could at last.”kick Europe out of area” if Ariane can’t figure out a way to originate its rockets greater cheaply. In an try to respond to the risk from SpaceX, Airbus and Ariane started designing a new household of rockets — dubbed.”Ariane 6″ — in 2012 to change its venerable Ariane 5 line.
In his interview with Der Spiegel, Charmeau brought up that Ariane situs judi online necessary to secure.”seven contracts for assured launches” aboard Ariane 6,through the conclusion of June.” The company has three contracts within the bag already, but if it doesn’t get the rest.”we are able to should halt creation” for lack of labor, says Charmeau.
Ariane is concentrated on a launch can charge of 70 million euros $82 million for the smaller Ariane 62 version of the brand new initiate gadget, which is expected to be able to hoisting 5 metric hundreds payload into geosynchronous switch orbit GTO once it starts launching in 2020. this can represent a major cut to commence quotes for an identical-sized Ariane 5, which former Ariane head Jean-Yves Le Gall says ordinary $137 million before subsidies. Ariane 62’s greater cousin, Ariane 64, will carry twice as tons cargo at a focused can charge of 115 million euros, or $134 million.
shut, however no cigar
but here’s the issue: SpaceX’s Falcon 9, which is already in operation, lifts extra cargo 8.three metric tons than Ariane sixty two can be able to elevate, and for 24% much less cash — $62 million. Priced per ton, the disparity appears even more obtrusive: SpaceX’s Falcon 9 strikes cargo for $7.5 million per ton, while Ariane sixty two charges $sixteen.4 million — greater than twice as an awful lot.
in a similar way, SpaceX advertises a $ninety million originate can charge for its new Falcon Heavy rocket, which performed its first originate in February. Falcon Heavy has a GTO payload of 26.7 million tons, which is more than twice the anticipated 10-ton payload of the Ariane sixty four. And as soon as once more, the SpaceX rocket prices less — just about 33% much less per open, and more than seventy five% much less per ton $3.four million for the Falcon Heavy versus $13.four million per ton for Ariane sixty four.
So any way you slice it, even after the Ariane 6 enters carrier SpaceX remains going to be in a position to undercut its fees. What’s more, Airbus’s Ariane might not even have its new rockets able to fly earlier than mid-2020. And who is aware of how a great deal lessen SpaceX could have pushed its prices by then.
SpaceX already says it may possibly present rocket rides for as much as 30% under published list prices when valued clientele opt for to fly on reused Falcon 9s. The greater often SpaceX flies reused rockets as a substitute of expendables, the lessen its costs can also be expected to fall.
A double average at SpaceX?
When Der Spiegel cited this carrying on with price disparity last week, although, Charmeau talked about that,here’s no longer relevant.” SpaceX is basically no longer more affordable than Ariane — as a minimum now not in line with Ariane.
4da1a46ec20cf93ee5c846a51e04f0ed,SpaceX is charging the us govt $a hundred million per originate,” argues Charmeau, “however launches for European clients are much more affordable.” on account of this, Charmeau would not think SpaceX is enjoying heavenly.
In Charmeau’s opinion, SpaceX is intentionally undercharging for industrial Falcon 9 launches for one cause best: “To kick Europe out of space” by undercutting Ariane’s pricing. as the CEO argues, SpaceX.”expenses their executive too plenty money.” Put another way, the U.S. govt is subsidizing SpaceX. SpaceX then makes use of the excess profits it earns from these costly executive launches to cowl its presumed losses on the ultra-low fees charged to commercial customers.
but is that suitable?
Explaining the disparity
not always. The disparity between the costs the U.S. govt will pay for rocket launches and the expenditures that business valued clientele pay is glowing obtrusive. as an example, on its Capabilities & functions webpage, SpaceX lists a $sixty two million,general” rate for a business rocket launch. A fresh contract with the Air drive, however, noticed SpaceX can charge the govt a regular of $96.9 million apiece for three GPS satellite tv for pc launches — about fifty six% extra.
A key distinction between business launches and executive launches, although, is that this: pink tape. a few years ago, I reached out to ULA head Salvatore Bruno to ask why ULA, which exceptionally launches satellites for the govt, costs so a lot greater as lots as $350 million per start than SpaceX fees for its by and large civilian launches. among other factors affecting cost, Bruno stated that ULA is required to adhere to.”far 15″ federal acquisition laws, which add distinct necessities for launch security surety, together with expanding fees.
bound, it’s debatable whether some distance 15 adds $300 million to the can charge of a start, but executive laws definitely add some cost — and that is the reason a part of the intent SpaceX costs “$100 million” for a executive open, versus only $62 million for a civilian start. really, when seen in the context of Bruno’s comments, the larger cost of SpaceX executive missions, relative to industrial missions, truly makes lots of sense.
that is likely bloodless comfort to Ariane, Airbus, and their buyers, of path. nevertheless it does explain the disparity — and strongly suggests SpaceX will continue to pick company from Airbus and ULA except they figure out a means to fix their pricing difficulty.

Every year, Howell, MI hosts the Michigan Challenge Balloon Festival. Every year I have intentions of attending. Every year, I manage to miss out on the fun...But, not this year! My mom, sister, Jon and I made it to the last evening of festivities on Sunday and sat around for two hours waiting for the wind to die down enough for the balloons to launch. We were beginning to worry that they would not take off the ground, but at around 8:30, they gave the okay for a few balloons to launch. All in all, we saw about 10 balloons take off.
Ever since parachute day in gym class in elementary school, I've always wanted to take a balloon ride. One day, I will take a ride in a hot air balloon...one day!


The caravan connection is tenuous, we know, but today marks the 50th anniversary of the first human being ever to travel into space in a self-contained life-support capsule. Which is a bit like a caravan, at least conceptually…
Anyway, whether or not Yuri Gargarin carried the cosmonautical equivalent of an Aquaroll for his history-making 108-minute orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961 in the Vostok 3KA-3 capsule is largely beside the point.
The real reason for marking the occasion here is to draw your attention to a fascinating film that combines new footage shot from the International Space Station with oriental audio from Gagarin’s mission and a musical score by composer Philip Sheppard.
The film is called First Orbit and is available to watch in its entirety on YouTube. So, in the name of that pioneering spirit that leads us to venture into the unknown (or at least pitch up at dodgy campsites that looked better in the brochure), we also present it below.

There’s now a helicopter on Mars but that’s not what dropped my jaw. NASA/JPL just successfully completed EDL (Entry, Descent, Landing) for Perseverance. A bright moment in the space program — to put a vehicle this size on Mars. The EDL is also known as the 7 minutes of terror as it takes 11 minutes to get a signal back to earth so when entry data starts to arrive, the craft has been on the surface for 5 minutes, successful or not.
I certainly enjoyed hearing they received a call from a president that appreciates science but the one item that I did not expect was about how members of the team working from home could roam the JPL office and labs by logging into and driving a robot on the campus. Serious shade on ordinary Zoom calls!


Sometimes the news is just too bizarre :
A plane crash in Democratic Republic of Congo that killed 20 people on board was caused by a crocodile hidden in a bag on the flight, a media report said here Friday.
British co-pilot Chris Wilson was among 20 people who died in the crash when passengers ran into the cockpit to escape a crocodile, the Daily Mail reported.
Wilson died alongside Belgian pilot Danny Philemotte when the twin-engined plane crashed Aug 25 into a house a few hundred metres from its destination in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to Sify.
A crocodile being stored in a duffel bag got loose on the flight, everyone panicked, and the plane went down. Now, a crocodile on a plane running wild is funny, but not when it results in 20 deaths.
According to the only survivor of the plane crash, when the reptile got loose, all hell broke loose. “The terrified air hostess hurried towards the cockpit, followed by the passengers,” said the report.
This caused the to become unstable as the weight shifted wildly, and the plane went down “despite the desperate efforts of the pilot,” Popular Fidelity reports.
Where to start?
What the fuck was someone doing with a crocodile in their bag? I suppose they could have been slightly confused as to exactly what a crocodile handbag actually was but seriously!
From the report, it sounds like the cockpit got a little too crowded with 20 people and crew joining the pilots to escape the croc; hardly surprising it crashed in those circumstances.


First Man: The Life of Neil Armstrong(PB) By: James Hansen
In First Man, Hansen explores the life of Neil Armstrong. Based on over 50 hours of interviews with the intensely private Armstrong, who also gave Hansen exclusive access to private documents and family sources, this “magnificent panorama of the second half of the American twentieth century” (Publishers Weekly, Starred Review) is an unparalleled biography of an American icon.
When Apollo 11 touched down on the moon’s surface in 1969, the first man on the moon became a legend. Hansen vividly recreates Armstrong's career in flying, from his seventy-eight combat missions as a naval aviator flying over North Korea to his formative transatmospheric flights in the rocket-powered X-15 to his piloting Gemini VIII to the first-ever docking in space. For a pilot who cared more about flying to the Moon than he did about walking on it, Hansen asserts, Armstrong's storied vocation exacted a dear personal toll, paid in kind by his wife and children. In the years since the Moon landing, rumors swirled around Armstrong concerning his dreams of space travel, his religious beliefs, and his private life.
