The spacecraft was carrying 1360 pounds (617 kg) of food for the astronauts on the International Space Shuttle About six seconds after liftoff at 6:22 p.m. Eastern, the Antares rocket exploded in mid-air. Fortunately, no people were aboard and no one was injured. The rocket is designed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, under a contract with NASA. It's a two-stage launch vehicle that can shepherd up to 6,120kg or about 13,500 pounds, to the International Space Station. The first launch took places from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia in April 21, 2013. No personnel were in the area, and there appear only to be damages to today's launch site at Wallops and ...

Long before the 1819 publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori, and before Bram Stoker popularized vampires with the novel Dracula in 1897, humans have been spinning tales of creatures which drink blood. Some tales were of mythological beings, some were perhaps based on real people who engaged in cannibalism and blood drinking, and many are based on real animals or embellishments of real animals. Mythological creatures such as Pishachas, ghouls, Estries, kappas, and striges are just a few examples out of many hundreds. Even as recently as 1995, new blood-drinking creatures have been reported and entered the pages of cryptozoology, such as the Chupacabra. Real-life creatures such as ...
Where Did Ebola Come From?

Several months ago, friends of mine were planning a trip to Liberia. They were just about to head over when they got the news that there was an Ebola outbreak. At the time, they contacted me to find out just how safe or unsafe it was in Liberia. They knew more about what to expect on the trip to Liberia, but they were unsure of what to expect in terms of Ebola infecting as many people as it had. At the time, the death toll was in the hundreds (recent estimates suggest that the death toll is over 4,000).1 I began trying to help them understand a few things about Ebola so they could make an informed decision. Since that time, I have noticed a number of websites have arisen with misinformation ...

Explanation: Earth is at equinox. Over the next 24 hours, day and night have nearly equal duration all over planet Earth. Technically, equinox transpires at 2:29 am Universal Time tomorrow, but this occurs today in North and South America. This September equinox signal that winter is approaching in the northern hemisphere, and summer is approaching in the south. At equinox, the dividing line between the sunlit half of Earth and the nighttime half of Earth temporarily passes through Earth's north and south spin poles. This dividing line is shown in clear detail in the featured video, taken by the Russian meteorological satellite Elektro-L during last year's September equinox. The ...

(WGN)– In a matter of two days, history was made at Chicago’s McCormick Place, as the world’s first 3D printed electric car—named Strati, Italian for “layers”– took its first test drive. “Less than 50 parts are in this car,” said Jay Rogers from Local Motors. Roger’s company is part of the team that developed the engineering process to manufacture an entire car with carbon fiber plastic and print it with a large 3D printer set up at McCormick Place by Cincinnati Incorporated. Oakridge National Laboratory also collaborated on the concept that could bring custom printed cars to the marketplace by 2015. “You could think of it like Ikea, ...
DNA From This Ugly Fish Is Being Used to Synthesize Bulletproof Slime

If you have ever seen a picture or a video of a hagfish, it's probably been on some roundup of the ocean's most horrifying creatures. But the DNA within that very creature, often known as a "slime eel," just might be the key to creating sustainable, biodegradable plastic and lighter bulletproof clothing. The hagfish has a skull but no vertebrae or spinal chord, so scientists aren't totally sure whether to classify it as a vertebrate or not. It hasn't really changed in roughly 300 million years, which makes it a "living fossil." But this primitive sort of design is a boon for researchers who see potential in the hagfish's trademark, and arguably ...

Human DNA From 400,000 Years Ago Found in Spain

The oldest human DNA ever found, from a 400,000-year-old thigh bone in Spain, may lead scientists to revise mankind’s family tree. The femur from Spain’s Sima de los Huesos, or “Pit of Bones,” yielded mitochondrial DNA that showed links between its owner and a group of ancestral humans called Denisovans, according to a study in the journal Nature. The femur bone previously had been thought to belong to the Neanderthals, while Denisovans had been found only in Siberia, about 4,000 miles east of the Spain site, the authors said. The finding suggests that the Denisovans’ split from the Neanderthals may have occurred from 170,000 to 700,000 years ago, the scientists ...

Impact Theory of Moon's Origin Fails
Post Date: 2013-10-30 20:24:23 by A K A Stone
1 Comments
Secular scientists used to regard the planetary collision theory as a triumph in explaining several of the moon's specific arrangements. But newfound facts severely debilitate this lunar impact origins theory. According to this new theory, an early Earth collided at a glancing angle with a planet that was one or two times the mass of Mars. Some of the debris launched into orbit around Earth and somehow collected to form the moon. This could explain the moon's peculiar orbit and some of its other properties.1 But, as Bob Jones University astronomy professor Ron Samec noted, recent studies refute even this origins scenario.2 For example, ratios of rare titanium forms in moon rocks ...
Newly Found Ancient Skull Could Rewrite Human History

(CBS News) Humanity's family tree may need some pruning. The discovery of an ancient skull has revealed clues that could shake up the accepted theories of human evolution. From the moment they discovered the skull buried under a village in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, scientists knew they had something applause-worthy. At 1.8 million years old, the skull may do nothing less than rewrite the history of humanity. "It's an almost perfectly complete skull," said Jamie Shreeve, executive science editor for National Geographic, "and because of that, it has a lot of information."

At the TEDx conference in Detroit last week, RoboRoach #12 scuttled across the exhibition floor, pursued not by an exterminator but by a gaggle of fascinated onlookers. Wearing a tiny backpack of microelectronics on its shell, the cockroach—a member of the Blaptica dubia species—zigzagged along the corridor in a twitchy fashion, its direction controlled by the brush of a finger against an iPhone touch screen (as seen in video above). RoboRoach #12 and its brethren are billed as a do-it-yourself neuroscience experiment that allows students to create their own “cyborg” insects. The roach was the main feature of the TEDx talk by Greg Gage and Tim Marzullo, co-founders of ...

Now that Snowden has released docs indicting the NSA can crack most regular encryption (like TOR), and most likely can, or will soon, crack most everything, this may be our only hope of reclaiming our communication privacy. Eventually. It harnesses the bizarro-world properties of quantum physics to ensure that information sent from point A to point B isn’t intercepted. The laws of physics dictate that nobody—not even the NSA—can measure a quantum system without disrupting it.

Some good friends and I have been having a debate over plug-in electric cars vs. cars powered by fuel cells. They are both electric cars, which are likely the future. The difference is their source of power. Here is the bottom line for me: Yes, Tesla is a superior technology to any other electric car on the road today. Their approach to using a pack of more than 8,000 lithium-ion batteries with computer controlled fail-over instead of one big battery like the Chevy Volt should make GM very ashamed of themselves. Elon Musk and his team are true innovators. But not all innovations succeed. Let me give you an example... 15 years ago I was a big proponent of RFID, because it promised much ...
