This is not a fantasy project. This is going to be real: a gigantic 385-foot wing span, 544-tonne plane powered by six 747 engines that will serve as a flying launch platform for 490,000 pound orbital rockets. It’s the new project of Paul Allen and Burt Rutan. And it looks insanely amazing.
The new design works similarly to Rutan’s previous designs. The giant mothership, which brings memories of the giganormous Howard Hughes’ H-4 Hercules “Spruce Goose”, will take SpaceX rocket launchers up to the stratosphere. From there, the mother ship will drop the rocket, which will fire up into orbit. The rocket will be able to deliver a total of 13,500 pounds of cargo up to orbit, including manned spaceships.

Space tourism; how bombarding can this business go? How often do you hear of people booking flight tickets to the space at Nasa Airlines? Nasa might not be heavily promoting their space tourism flights, but Boeing is getting ready to.
Boeing has declared plans to add space tourism to its CST-100 – or Crew Space Transportation-100 – low orbit flights by 2015. Operated by a partnership with Space Adventures, the flights will be able to carry up to seven passengers about 62 miles above Earth’s surface and the craft are currently being developed with the help of NASA.The space shuttle could also be used as a ferry to get people to and from the various space habitats companies are working away at. There’s no word on what the pricing of one of these journeys will look like, but I assure you it’s going to be more than just a limb and a thigh and your right eye.
Quantum physics, the mysterious concept that is only comparable to the Big Bang theory, has been making huge waves of debates and spurn out many new concepts and ideas. They might even create reverse-engineering for food, or help us win the fight against zerg rush. Who knows? The unpredictable nature of quantum physics has been so unique, that it has been mimicked by Queen’s University computer scientists to invent a new version of chess AI. Read more…
Well the rise of the Skynet seemed eminent, as more and more advancement in our technology reaches somewhat surreal, to the point that robots do not need lithium batteries in order to operate. Neither does our lights. Read more…
NASA seemed to be hot headed right now, as it’s planning a visit to the hottest star around us. Yea, NASA is sending a Solar Probe Plus into the Sun’s atmosphere, which will be the first time any craft visits that place. Previously all data were collected from distances at least millions of miles away. Maybe now is a cooler season to visit the sun.
Yes, you saw it. The bottle is hovering around that circle. No strings, no sticks, nothing. Done perfectly like being controlled by a Jedi Knight. The trick is the cap on top of the bottle. Attack that to the can, put it in the ring, plug the device to power, and the magic just works. Must be some science behind the magnetic ring. Anyway, if you love the trick, you can head over to Chinavision to purchase one.
Charles Okeke is a guy that needs a heart transplant. But due to the 3000+ waiting list, he has been lying in the hospital for over 2 months, purely relying on a 400-lb machine.
But now, Charles can finally go home, thanks to a miracle backpack called the Freedom Driver. The Freedom Driver is a revolutionary machine with function of the 400-lb machine in the hospital, but shrinks into a backpack size.
Not that this thing does not comes with any down side, but people still doubt things regarding its power supply, and whether it will only maintain the heart and not the liver and kidney functions too. It has also become an additional item to maintain for the doctors. And the bills are sky high. Priced at USD 125,000 per pack, and USD18, 000 maintenance fees per year, not everyone in the 3000+ list would want to go home with it. I just hope the Reactor Arc version will eventually come.
