A Question Answer Session With Chris Hadfield !!!

 

Question: What time zone do you live by? Do you switch off the lights at “night”?
We live on Greenwich time, UTC, same as London, England. We shut of most lights at bedtime – it feels right to do it.
Question: How long does it take for you to orbit around the Earth?
ISS orbits the world every 92 minutes, so that makes it 8 km/sec, or 500 km/minute – 28,000 km/hr. Or about Mach 25.
Question: Have you done any space walks? If so, what was it like?
I was Canada’s first spacewalker, doing two to help build the mighty Canadarm2 robot onto ISS. It was the most magnificent experience of my life. Alone in a 1-person spaceship (my suit), just holding on with my one hand, with the bottomless black universe on my left and the World pouring by in technicolor on my right. I highly recommend it.
Question: You tweet a lot. When do you find the time?
The priorities are crew health, vehicle health, work/science & then personal pursuits; I take photos, tweet & play guitar when I can!
Question: How long does the mission last?
I’m in orbit, working onboard ISS for 5 months, until mid-May 2013.
Question: What are your personal quarters like on the ISS?
I’m typing now in my ‘Sleep Station’, a small padded room with a door, completely private, like a bedroom without the bed, and phone booth sized.
Question: How often do you exercise on the ISS?
We work out 2 hours per day, every day, just to stay at a constant level of fitness to be ready to do a spacewalk, and to have strong bones and muscles when we come home.
Question: How long did it take you to learn how to maneuver in zero gravity? Are you much better at it now than when you originally came aboard the ISS?
 
I’m still learning! But sometimes now, I am graceful. I feel like an adapted ape swinging through the jungle canopy … until I miss a handrail and crash into the wall.

Meet Neal Mohan…Google”s $100 Million Man !!!!!

Neal Mohan

Google global vice president for display, Neal Mohan

HE’S not a screamer. He doesn’t like long meetings. He responds quickly to people. His name is Neal Mohan, and he’s the brains behind Google’s display advertising cash cow.

How did a man who started out working for $60,000 a year become a $100 million man?

Mohan worked for internet startups Accenture and NetGravity in the late 1990s after graduating from Stanford with qualifications in electrical engineering. In 2003 he returned to complete his MBA.

His big break came when NetGravity was acquired by DoubleClick, the company he would eventually take with him to Google to drive the world’s biggest online advertising engine.

Mohan brought with him a wealth of knowledge in online consumer behaviour and an innate curiosity. He devised a 500-page powerpoint presentation in 2005 that is still used today as a blueprint for ad work.

That powerpoint presentation alone tripled the value of DoubleClick from $1.1 billion to $3.1 billion, the amount Google paid to acquire the company.

Such was Mohan’s skill-set that Google ad exec Susan Wojcicki put a broom through her department to allow the DoubleClick team to move straight across.

It was a risky move because one of the men Wojcicki let go, Gokul Rajaram, now heads Facebook’s lucrative display advertising team.

But Mohan made good on his word and with hard work and the shrewd acquisition of tools, such as the display platform Invite Media, his team made $5 billion for Google in 2011.

It’s little wonder Google paid him $100 million in stock to keep him from joining Twitter. He’s proving every bit his worth.

So how does a man known by clients as “the quiet assassin” go about his work? Surely he’d slam his fists on tables and terrify his colleagues.

Not according to sources who say he’s “not a screamer”, doesn’t “waste time in meetings” and “listens” to what his clients want.

Oh, and perhaps most importantly, he “doesn’t bullshit”.

Are you taking notes?

Boeing 747…The “Jumbo Jet” Plane Which Redefined Airtravel….A Flash back!!!

Boeing 747: a history in pictures

The first 747 rolled out of the Everett assembly building in Washington State on September 30, 1968. A special hangar was built for its construction. By volume, it remains the biggest building ever made.

The plane was set to re-define air travel, with its ability to carry more people than previous aircraft, and played a major part in making long-haul journeys more affordable….

Boeing 747: a history in pictures

Pan Am was the first airline to receive a 747, and Pat Nixon, the First Lady of the United States, christened the aircraft Clipper Vector. The 747 entered service on January 22, 1970, on Pan Am’s scheduled flight from New York to London.

Boeing 747: a history in pictures

It also shared some historic highs. The 747 was often used to transport space shuttles, and here it is seen in 1978 giving the Enterprise a piggyback.

Boeing 747: a history in pictures

In 1984 a youthful Richard Branson launched his airline with a 747 flight from Gatwick to Newark.

Boeing 747: a history in pictures

The aircraft has been redesigned several times. Variants were launched in 1979 (747-100B), 1982 (747SP), 1983 (747-300), 1989 (747-400), 2006 (747 LCF), and 2011 (747-8, pictured).

Boeing 747: a history in pictures

The Boeing 747, launched more than 40 years ago, is one of the most influential and admired passenger aircraft ever to be built.

However the original “jumbo jet”, which has flown many millions of people in its decades of service, may finally be falling from favour. British Airways will take delivery of its first Airbus A380 “superjumbo” in July, and this week announced plans to buy 18 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Both aircraft are quieter and more fuel efficient than the 747, which BA is now looking to phase out over the next few years.

Google Search For Planets Thro Satellite ….Wait Till 2017 !!!!

INTERNET giant Google its taking its search function to new heights: Finding new planets, no less.

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will be launched in 2017 and will see Google join NASA to send a set of specialist cameras in to space to scan the skies for planets orbiting bright nearby stars.

NASA has said the satellite will focus upon stars likely to have Earth-like planets.

It will use a technique to analyse starlight to find planets as they swing around their stars, similar to that used by the Kepler telescope which has already found some 2700 orbiting bodies.

“TESS will carry out the first space-borne all-sky transit survey, covering 400 times as much sky as any previous mission,” George Ricker, TESS’ principle investigator, said in a statement.

“It will identify thousands of new planets in the solar neighbourhood, with a special focus on planets comparable in size to the Earth.”

Alien Planets

This artist rendering shows the different types of planets in our Milky Way galaxy detected by NASAs Kepler spacecraft.

Google’s role so far extends back to 2008 when it provided initial funding for the development of the telescope’s sensors and optical cameras.

Are there plans to launch a Google Space View to join its terrestrial equivalent?

Google has not said.

The launch is one of two projects slated by NASA to be launched in 2017.

The second involves a neutron star scanner to be fitted to the International Space Station.

 

Extraterrestrial Planets

This illustration provided by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows artist’s renderings of planets Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f compared with Venus and the Earth. Scientists have found the two Earth-sized planets orbiting a distant star, an encouraging sign for prospects of finding life elsewhere.

The Invisible Artist !!!

Chinese artist Liu Bolin is known as the “invisible man” and the “human chameleon” — just take one close look at his work, and you’ll see why. One very close look. See him? Liu has gained international fame for his photographs, which usually feature him painstakingly painted to blend into street scenes or other complex backgrounds.

The work takes hours, with assistants painting the most intricate details onto Liu’s body and clothes, all while the artist tries to remain perfectly still. But Liu’s extreme dedication to his craft has paid off. His artwork regularly fetches five figures, and one (a photo of Liu painted into a mural of Chinese dragons) even sold for more than that…

Liu himself describes what he does NOT as blending into the background, but he explains it as letting the background, the place, take over him, and blend with him, taking into himself the spirit of the place. So he is not trying to hide, but surrenders himself to the place itself…

Some of his art works are…
