- SpaceLiner Will Zoom from Europe to Australia in 90 Minutes Flat Sat, 26 Jan 13, 6:00amResearchers at the German Aerospace Center are developing a hypersonic “SpaceLiner” that would zip half way around the world in 90 minutes flat. The 50-passenger airplane would piggyback off of a rocket to reach speeds...
- ‘Gravity is climate’? WTF?! Sat, 17 Mar 12, 1:32pmFrom the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres evidence that maybe, just maybe, climate has become a singularity unto its own, and everything now in the physical world is “climate”...
- Another satellite re-entry and burnup expected, this one may have been brought down by hackers Mon, 17 Oct 11, 2:34amThis is interesting. The ROSAT X-ray observatory is expected to burn up in about a week and it has quite a checkered and colorful history. According to Wikipedia, ROSAT was originally planned to be launched on the Space shuttle...
