Wayward Skylabs Dummies
The origins of the group date back to early 1979 when a Brian Neil Henderson, Chub McBride, Donald Kerr and myself (Steven Todd) decided to form a band. Things got off to a good start when Neil bought a guitar from his mum #39;s littlewoods club book but that was as far as it went for a few months. The band members used to gather at Brian #39;s house and listen to Joy Division, SpizzOil, Desperate Bicycles and the like and were still at the point of deciding on a name for the band when in July 79 the Skylab 1 space station crashed into the atmosphere. On the 6 o #39;clock news Kenneth Kendal reported that the "Wayward Skylab"had finally crashed to earth, hence the band #39;s name. Nothing really happened on the musical front except that Brian wrote the first lyrics to a song that became "Marine Boy" which later was a crowd favourite. My young brother Robert Todd then came into the frame and he really drove things on and sorted out a practice room next to our dad #39;s shop on the local aerodrome. I had joined the army by then so was away most of the time so was only an honorary member by autumn 79 although I was around for 5 months whilst convalescing after a bad bike smash. The band line-up quickly changed and by late 79 the line-up was Robert Todd, Donald Kerr, Rab Lynch, John X and Paul Johnstone. Paul was the last to join and was recruited on the strength of his singalong to the Damned #39;Love Song #39; whilst helping to paint out the practice room.

SB Alien Cargo Hold.avi – Video


SB Alien Cargo Hold.avi
SB Alien Cargo Hold: In this 3D Studio Max project I have created an imaginative cartoon style animation depicting a room inside of an alien space station. This is part of a much larger project currently under construction. The scene follows along with the camera as it spirals around the central power supply pillar of the room. There are lots of separate animation elements such as large gears, hover platforms using tractor beams to move crates around. There will be other animations to come showing different aspects inside the room because there are so many different areas and details that one pass is not enough to capture everything that is going on. All of the textures are UVW mapped with added normal #39;s maps. There are special effects plasma clouds created using the Afterburn Plug-in for 3D Studio Max. I used the Final Render plug-in for the Shaders and material effects. Post production work done in Adobe After Effects. Frame rate is NTSC 29.97. Thank you for reading and watching.

3 New Crewmembers to Arrive at Space Station Friday

The Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying the three newest residents of the International Space Station is set to dock with the high-flying laboratory on Friday morning (Dec. 21).

Set to arrive at the space station at 9:12 a.m. EST (1412 GMT), the capsule will deliver Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield who will become the station's first Canadian commander as well as Russian Federal Space Agency cosmonaut Roman Romanenko and NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn. The spaceflyers' journey started yesterday (Dec. 19) when they launched from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome at 7:12 a.m. EST (1212 GMT).

After they reach the space station, the astronauts will perform leak checks on the seal between their Soyuz TMA-07M capsule and the space station's docking port on the Rassvet module. These checks should take about two hours, clearing the way for the hatches between the two vehicles to be opened at around 11:45 a.m. EST (1645 GMT).

You can watch the docking of the Soyuz live here via SPACE.com's NASA TV feed. The broadcast begins at 8:30 a.m. EST (1330 GMT), followed by live hatch opening coverage at 11:15 a.m. EST (1615 GMT). [Expedition 34 Launch in Pictures]

Complete crew

Three crewmembers are already living onboard the space station awaiting the new arrivals: commander Kevin Ford of NASA, and cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin, both flight engineers for the station's Expedition 34 mission. Once the new trio joins them, the Expedition 34 team will be complete, bringing the orbiting laboratory back up to its usual six-person crew complement.

Romanenko, who has flown to the space station once before, said that a six-person team is key for the kind of work they want to do in the lab.

"I think we need to continue as we've been doing, six people per increment," Romanenko, a veteran of one previous trip to space, said in a preflight interview with NASA. "I think this will again maximize the number of experiments that we do on station. Also, this will facilitate the process of adapting to space. It will help us develop skills that we'll be able to use when flying people to other planets."

While working and living in orbit, the spaceflyers will be responsible for monitoring the 110 experiments onboard, as well as keeping their bodies in shape, and performing maintenance to keep the station running smoothly.

Let #39;s Play FTL Episode 2 [Deaths on The Pumpkin!]
The Pumpkin continues to fly from system to system! What will happen to our brave crew of three? Well, if you #39;ve read the title you probably have an idea. Which unlucky red shirts bite it!? TWITCH.TV: http://www.Twitch.TV TWITTER: http://www.Twitter.com FACEBOOK: http://www.Facebook.com More on FTL (from Wiki) FTL: Faster Than Light is a space flight simulator game incorporating elements of roguelike games, developed by Subset Games. In the game, the player controls a single space craft, attempting to deliver critical information to its allies across several sectors of space while avoiding rebel forces that seek the information for themselves and other hostile entities. As the player continues across the region of space, they gain equipment and currency to improve their ship #39;s offenses, defenses, and sub-systems, expand the ship #39;s capabilities, or additional crew members to boost the performance of the ship. Combat and repair is done in real-time, though the player can pause the game to assess the situation and issue orders; the game otherwise features permadeath scenarios, randomly generating new challenges each time a new game is started.

Interacting with NASA Hyperwall content on 6840×3840 pixel video wall – Video


Interacting with NASA Hyperwall content on 6840x3840 pixel video wall
NASA #39;s Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio produces amazingly high resolution images and animations for promoting a greater understanding of Earth and Space Science research activities at Goddard Space Flight Center and within the NASA research community. Some are designed expressly for a screen technology called The Hyperwall, a system largely perfected at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The Hyperwall itself is a platform best suited for big themes. With colossal screen resolution and an ultrawide presentational style, moving images played there take on a vast sense of scale and power. At Content Interface Corporation (CIC), we managed to reproduce the Hyperwall for personal use. The system consists of a 12-screen video wall with resolution of 6840x3840 pixel, controlled by a single Windows PC that houses the FirePro W600 video card from AMD. CIC enVision provides visualization and interaction to various NASA imagery and animations. The result is a low-cost yet capable display system that has the same or better resolution than a typical 15-monitor Hyperwall from NASA. This system is perfect for museum, science center, and even university or school.From:Hao LeViews:9 0ratingsTime:10:42More inScience Technology

Ozone Hole – Video


Ozone Hole
Daily ozone hole images from Jul 1, 2012 to Oct. 19, 2012. The ozone hole max is on Sept. 22, 2012. The average area covered by the Antarctic ozone hole this year was the second smallest in the last 20 years, according to data from NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites. Scientists attribute the change to warmer temperatures in the Antarctic lower stratosphere. The ozone hole reached its maximum size Sept. 22, covering 8.2 million square miles (21.2 million square kilometers), or the area of the United States, Canada and Mexico combined. The average size of the 2012 ozone hole was 6.9 million square miles (17.9 million square kilometers). The Sept. 6, 2000 ozone hole was the largest on record at 11.5 million square miles (29.9 million square kilometers). "The ozone hole mainly is caused by chlorine from human-produced chemicals, and these chlorine levels are still sizable in the Antarctic stratosphere," said NASA atmospheric scientist Paul Newman of NASA #39;s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "Natural fluctuations in weather patterns resulted in warmer stratospheric temperatures this year. These temperatures led to a smaller ozone hole." Observing Earth #39;s Ozone Layer Atmospheric ozone is no longer declining because concentrations of ozone-depleting chemicals stopped increasing and are now declining.
