Note: Sun or Moon Rise/Set Table for One Year: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html - Dark Roasted : American Supersonic Airliners: Race for a Dream
It all started in 1952 with small-scale studies of SST designs by Boeing, but things heated up significantly when in 1962 the governments of Britain and France decided to join efforts in the creation of a supersonic "Concorde" airplane. The intrepid Russians also came up with the Tu-144 (no less capable, but plagued by accidents). The American government nearly panicked and responded with its own program SCAT (Supersonic Commercial Air Transport) in 1963, which got endorsement from President Kennedy himself. The race for dominating supersonic airways was on. (At that time it was believed that all future commercial aircraft would be supersonic). The goal was to produce a commercial aircraft capable of carrying 250 passengers (twice as many as the Concorde) a

I first entered the aviation industry in 1983 when I joined British Airways as Cabin Crew. During my induction course, I was taught safety drills and procedures and basic surival principles, subjects which were refreshed annually thereafter. I flew for seven years on both shorthaul and longhaul routes, on Tridents, TriStars (L10-11s) and Boeing 737s, 747s & 757s. In all that time, on all those aircraft, I never had anything even remotely approaching an emergency - but I was always prepared, just in case!

* tube map with 500m walklines dotted in (warning: it's a large 429k gif file, pdf to follow possibly. Nb: our photo album constrains the size of the picture, so click the big versions of these pictures if you want to see them full size); big version here. The dense knots are Euston-Warren Street-Gt Portland St in Bloomsbury and Bank-Cannon St-Mansion House-St Paul's in the city. And these are interesting places to walk anyway. * And here's the same with the tube map faded out slightly, so you see the walklines more easily. (232k gif); big version here. * And indeed it might be interesting, for arty folk, to see the walklines without the original tube map behind it.

# Recognize that determining the safety of ice is dependent on a combination of factors, not on one factor alone. Ice safety is determined by assessing the following factors together: * Appearance of the ice - its color, texture and features * Thickness of the ice - there are recommended thicknesses for different uses, which are set out below * External temperature over a period of time and on the day * Snow coverage * Depth of water under ice * Size of water body * Chemical composition of water - whether water is fresh or salty * Local climate fluctuations * Extent of ice

in Public bookmarks - How to Test if a Plant Is Edible - wikiHow
Drastic times call for drastic measures. If you ever find yourself stranded in the wilderness for several months without food, you're going to have to figure out how to feed yourself. You can survive for at least a month with nothing but water, you will lose about 20 lbs. However, this is not a suggested fad diet, once you start eating again, you will probably put most of the weight back on. If you're well prepared and knowledgeable about the area, you should have no problem finding edible plants, but if you are near death, and can't otherwise positively identify a safe plant to eat, follow these guidelines to test for edibility.

Now I am beginning to try to understand all this, rest and review the events which began as innocently as possible.

in Public bookmarks - PopSci: High Dive: Ride a rocket into space and then abandon ship?
ocket, admiring the stars above, the Earth far, far below. The vacuum beyond your visor is cold, but it would boil your blood if your pressure suit failed. You give your parachute straps a reassuring pat. It’s utterly silent. Just you and your fragile body, hovering alone above the Earth. “Space Diver One, you are go,” crackles a voice in your ear, and you undo your harness and stand up. There’s nothing for it now: You paid a lot of money for this.

Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, appears to be one of the few places that we might find extraterrestrial life in our solar system (the others being Mars and Titan, a moon of Saturn). What makes Europa such an attractive place to look for life is the possibility that it has liquid water and volcanic activity. Liquid water is essential for life on earth and is the most probable solvent for life elsewhere. Volcanic activity provides some of the heat necessary to keep the water on Europa from freezing and could provide important dissolved chemicals needed by living organisms. The surface of Europa is covered with ice. NASA's Galileo space probe has recently sent back a number of high quality images of Europa's surface. These images hint at a layer of liquid

SINGAPORE -– An effort to build a suborbital spaceport destination to cater to space-hungry tourists and families is pushing forward in Singapore, where aviation authorities are developing a homegrown set of regulations for commercial spaceflight. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CCAS) is laying the groundwork here for the rules to govern flights out of Spaceport Singapore, a planned $115 million (SGD $191 million) project to offer suborbital spaceflights and a host of other experiences to adventure-seeking tourists.
