NASA reported early this morning that it does not know where the remains are located. This is a perplexing statement from the "people in charge" of this operation. One would like to think that their tracking equipment could actually track the huge installations they have launched into space. Orbital debris, a.k.a. Space Junk is increasing.<br /><br />NASA's website reports the "decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23 and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24."<br /><br />NASA Officials said "it entered the atmosphere somewhere over the Pacific Ocean" but the "precise re-entry time and location are not yet known with certainty."<br /><br />More info here: <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/nasa-uars-satellite-crashes-earth-location-unknown/story?id=14595092">http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/nasa-uars-satellite-crashes-earth-location-unknown/story?id=14595092</a>Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-47326179095955521712011-06-26T19:03:00.000-07:002011-06-26T19:05:02.048-07:00Comet Elenin C/2010 X1 Animation<a href="http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C%2F2010%20X1;orb=1;cad=1;cov=0;log=0#phys_par">http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C%2F2010%20X1;orb=1;cad=1;cov=0;log=0#phys_par</a>Wanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04952313764517999691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-27786840571319514412011-03-27T15:30:00.001-07:002011-03-27T15:30:22.056-07:00Dust Devil<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AxRT60-kw78" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Wanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04952313764517999691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-55040048343579874962010-12-09T16:53:00.001-08:002010-12-09T16:53:28.455-08:00Homemade Space Craft<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/15091562" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/15091562">Homemade Spacecraft</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3539560">Luke Geissbuhler</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Flying out of this Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12764063669252637782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-57326263949191873422010-11-23T09:00:00.000-08:002010-11-23T09:01:14.516-08:00Flying Foam 3D Printer<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: monospace, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rN-mfQsno2g?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rN-mfQsno2g?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></span>Wanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04952313764517999691noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-5442503205681240662010-08-16T21:25:00.000-07:002010-08-16T21:31:24.594-07:00John Armleder....Too Much is not Enough<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKrG27p1YQNdrKHpKDKhWyECsucx3PFqtpPOH8UR4rvhAjhCQF-y5TYTW2oGNh9092Ct2o8KMfgHx2mPWnYx5aTb4d8HgQzkN_oSHRbWKZuIQDD8_BL3n9bhBZ1Yb4fleZLu2zt2YdMY/s1600/JohnArmleder01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 323px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLKrG27p1YQNdrKHpKDKhWyECsucx3PFqtpPOH8UR4rvhAjhCQF-y5TYTW2oGNh9092Ct2o8KMfgHx2mPWnYx5aTb4d8HgQzkN_oSHRbWKZuIQDD8_BL3n9bhBZ1Yb4fleZLu2zt2YdMY/s400/JohnArmleder01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506230635973671698" /></a><br />I have been looking for a photo of that quintessential prone chandelier piece by John Armleder.

Its first model was known as the Hélica, a plane without wings, capable of carrying multiple passengers. The vehicle was steered by turning the rear wheels, and powered by a large propeller powered by a an 8 bhp (boiler horse power) engine. The 550 pound body of the Hélica was made of wood, and reached a speed of 106 mph in a 1927 race.Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-81855788837105722152010-07-06T09:33:00.000-07:002010-07-06T10:06:17.905-07:00European Union Calls for U.S. to Open X-files<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg46zBvNaZz13KvE56VHRQgE9oqejHGeHs6xq7Czeh5h9sj2OshK35omuePvzP3ZUc4aa4lBxUXSyTEiGsTwdqLQhasuOSwsGgN9MgiGitOV-jd6gqRTUJgXT-0hAqwZrwOqwVLLirI3M8/s1600/Golden-Ring-UFO.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg46zBvNaZz13KvE56VHRQgE9oqejHGeHs6xq7Czeh5h9sj2OshK35omuePvzP3ZUc4aa4lBxUXSyTEiGsTwdqLQhasuOSwsGgN9MgiGitOV-jd6gqRTUJgXT-0hAqwZrwOqwVLLirI3M8/s400/Golden-Ring-UFO.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490837546186437282" /></a><br />From the Associated Press July 6, 2010<br />BRUSSELS (AP)<br />Stephanie Fleming<br /><br />An Italian member of the European Parliament, Mario Borghezio, told the Associated Press that the European Union needs access to the U.S. classified information on UFO, including, but not limited to U.S. Military data. European lawmakers called Tuesday for member governments to open their "secret X-files" to provide transparency to all people. Borghezio said all European governments should go public and stop what he called a "systematic cover-up.

Seen by thousands of people, photographed by many different points of view. Several conflicting theories: an unusual natural phenomena; a wormhole in the fabric of space-time possibly caused by an event at the CERN Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland; a failed Soviet missile launch; an unidentified flying object, or.....? You decide.<br />Another theory is that the lights originated from the HAARP, the HIPAS facility near Fairbanks, Alaska, or the HAARP antenna site near Tromso, Norway, and relates to human-caused ionospheric heating.Flying out of this Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12764063669252637782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-31017641569936257292009-11-14T08:37:00.000-08:002009-11-14T08:53:47.209-08:00Water on the Moon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2UYWMMZHi68NY1HWG_ctpQf7EjyjfqQnvdFnX-blrRMKdh1xPcteagt91Jz2HpsrqIWh70rac7TZU7J9pWju2Hqnn6vNZyltxr7_Dkrxpp-ptnfYVNyuE0rS_1gWzs17yCueg2dteAApl/s1600-h/09moon-600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 221px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2UYWMMZHi68NY1HWG_ctpQf7EjyjfqQnvdFnX-blrRMKdh1xPcteagt91Jz2HpsrqIWh70rac7TZU7J9pWju2Hqnn6vNZyltxr7_Dkrxpp-ptnfYVNyuE0rS_1gWzs17yCueg2dteAApl/s400/09moon-600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404000603970670018" /></a>Scientists have confirmed that a significant amount of water has been found on the moon, as reported by Anthony Colaprete, an investigator for NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite. The Lcross Satellite crashed into a crater near the South Pole of the moon, the impact of which stirred up several gallons of water.<br /><br />Questions are raised by this discovery, not only about possible life forms past or present; but also, at least to my mind, issues of colonization, ownership & property rights, and whether humans will believe that this is "their" resource to use and or exploit, and if so, which humans?

Government agencies are still assessing the aftermath, but early radar measurements have detected hundreds of pieces of debris that could pose a risk to other spacecraft. As first reported by CBS News, a defunct Russian Cosmos satellite and a communication satellite owned by the US firm Iridium collided some 790 kilometres above northern Siberia on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009.<br /><br />"This is the first time that two intact spacecraft have accidentally run into each other," says Nicholas Johnson, chief scientist of <a href="http://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/">NASA's Orbital Debris Program Office </a>in Houston, Texas.<br /><br />More info at <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16584-satellite-collision-creates-copious-space-junk.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news">NEW SCIENTIST.</a>Flying out of this Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12764063669252637782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923644711383636993.post-79766558123723283432009-02-03T06:48:00.000-08:002009-02-03T06:56:34.861-08:00Daniel Wurtzel's Floating World<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizacMYWbHOMSgevp8KtAHbYR3e3QScdhhPoXSsyWcli0Sc2AERwrbKPYbxy31Kn8p-TmAi8GYF5-5wp7clKu-ib4ketFOpJUxHnzJeabM7_QK2kyL_OJdPEDgIuuReAF30B4owoFnkisg/s1600-h/10_DWurtzel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizacMYWbHOMSgevp8KtAHbYR3e3QScdhhPoXSsyWcli0Sc2AERwrbKPYbxy31Kn8p-TmAi8GYF5-5wp7clKu-ib4ketFOpJUxHnzJeabM7_QK2kyL_OJdPEDgIuuReAF30B4owoFnkisg/s400/10_DWurtzel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298583602967031826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM7Qd4CiPOahnn6bKIjgWv8eszohyeQId9l64OY72Lp-1Qp_ZjEtfcK7hsgedPS2qfb-870fb5zkNRiLkr7gr7cVx9fcaBVMcKaqQwlhyphenhyphenW5lXQfJQGxlV6nnd8rjFFDKk6RBeLq0Ey0XI/s1600-h/09_DWurtzel.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM7Qd4CiPOahnn6bKIjgWv8eszohyeQId9l64OY72Lp-1Qp_ZjEtfcK7hsgedPS2qfb-870fb5zkNRiLkr7gr7cVx9fcaBVMcKaqQwlhyphenhyphenW5lXQfJQGxlV6nnd8rjFFDKk6RBeLq0Ey0XI/s400/09_DWurtzel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298583603144078578" /></a>Brooklyn based artist Daniel Wurtzel makes elegant sculpturesincorporating light weight materials suspended in a column of air.

The universe is thus defined by its equilibrium of opposing forces. These imperceptible phenomena determine and delimit our way of being in the world, our dislocations, and irrevocably bind us to the earth.<br />From the fantasies of flying or floating (as revealed by the sublimity and pathos of Gino de Dominicis' attempt to transform himself into a man-bird, or by Yves Klein's angelic leap suspended in mid-air), to the philosophies of religious or metaphysical transcendence, humanity has aspired to elevation and desired to be free from alienation of and subjugation to gravity… Including the contemporary demand for lightness, from "lite" food to our relations to others, passing through the domain of thought…<br />This physical and existential dialectic, which is in a permanent state of oscillation between height and willful falling, drives us to explore the limits of balance and these opposing forces.<br />Vertigo, floating, rocking, inversion of perception, power, and tension are some key words to help guide the viewer through the exhibition which makes light of gravity in order either to subvert it or to make us experience it, in the lightness of dust as well as in the imposing physical presence of a ton of weight "suspended" in the air.<br /><br />ACCESS / 49 NORD 6 EST - Frac Lorraine, 1bis rue des Trinitaires, F-57000 Metz<br /><a href="http://www.fraclorraine.org<br />">http://www.fraclorraine.org<br /></a>Netherzonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01135462903042341530noreply@blogger.com0
