Putovanje u svemir nagrada na konkursu Nju sajentista

London - Britanski magazin Nju sajentist nudi putovanje u svemir osobi koja da najbolji odgovor na pitanje "koji je najbolji patentirani izum i zašto?". U jučerašnjerm broju magazina navodi se da će pobednik biti lansiran na visinu od sto kilometara, u svemirskom brodu kojim će upravljati pilot. Iz broda će moći da posmatra Zemlju i da nekoliko minuta iskusi bestežinsko stanje. "Nju sajentist" je i ranije nudio neobične nagrade čitaocima, kao što je da posle smrti budu sačuvani u ledu.
- Ovaj put, nagrada je stvarno namenjena živima - rekao je glavni i odgovorni urednik časopisa Džeremi Veb.
Kandidati na novom konkursu odgovor o najboljem patentu treba da formulišu u 250 reči i pošalju na Internet sajt winatriptospace.co.uk. Konkurs je otvoren do 30. aprila, a ime pobednika saopšteno 31. maja. Srećni izabranik će ići na četvorodnevnu obuku pre putovanja u svemir koje će trajati sat i po.

Radio

Radio, the greatest patented invention of all time. Whilst it is Tesla who is credited with the first US patent, number 6451576, it was Marconi who is best known and the most commercially successful; inventing his wireless telegraph machine based on its principles.

Radio has transformed our world, benefiting humanity in so many different ways. It was arguably a catalyst for some of the biggest technological advances in the 20th century; television, radar and mobile phones.

Radio has widened our scientific horizons, giving us the tools to search for life outside of our solar system. It opened doors to understanding the atomic world via NMR techniques which were developed into 3D medical scanners.

Of all the inventions of the 19th and the 20th century it has done the most to promote world peace; helping to bring us closer together, bridging distances at the speed of light and making the world seem much smaller than it actually is.

It is our entertainment, our communication, our lifeline and the greatest patented invention of all time. One day it may also be our telephone to the stars.

Dark days for NASA

Space agency hit by claims of theft, sabotage and drunkenness.
Daniel Cressey


NASA's reputation took a battering this week as the space agency's staff faced a range of misconduct allegations, including allowing astronauts to fly when drunk, the deliberate sabotage of a computer for a forthcoming shuttle flight, and failing to stop the loss of equipment worth nearly $100 million.

A new internal report produced by NASA reveals that astronauts have been allowed to fly when drunk. Information released ahead of the report's official unveiling, scheduled for the afternoon of 27 July, indicates that it will confirm that crew members were allowed to fly even though they were drunk enough to be a safety risk.

It was not immediately clear whether the flights involved the space shuttle programme or other launches, or exactly when the incidents in question occurred. But commentators have expressed amazement and dismay at the prospect that any astronauts could have flown while drunk.

The report was apparently commissioned in the wake of another embarrassing episode for NASA — the arrest in February of astronaut Lisa Nowak, who was later charged with the attempted kidnapping of an alleged rival for the affections of a former colleague.

It also emerged this week that at least one act of sabotage has taken place in relation to a NASA mission scheduled for launch next month. Wires inside an electronic device destined for use on the International Space Station were deliberately cut. Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations, told news agency reporters: "The damage is very obvious, easy to detect. It's not a mystery to us."

NASA's woes were compounded by yet another report, released by a US congressional watchdog, revealing that the agency has lost $94 million of equipment in the past decade. The Government Accountability Office blames "a weak internal control environment" for the losses.

The losses are "unacceptable", says Bart Gordon, chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology. "NASA needs to do a better job managing its property and equipment."

The report also accuses management of being unwilling to hold employees to account for losses. Excuses given for loss of computers included: "This computer, although assigned to me, was being used on board the International Space Station. I was informed that it was tossed overboard to be burned up in the atmosphere when it failed."

A, pa bila je ova vest na Jahuu prošle nedelje, a mislim da sam je video i na dnevniku RTS-a. Čujte, što bi u NASA-i bilo drugačije nego drugde....

Zanimljiv nacin podizanja nivoa naucne pismenosti na RTS-u, ali  racunam dobro je, na duze staze. Rusimo mitove, makar i samo urbane mitove o pijanim ruskim pilotima, koji su olicenje odgovornosti i savesnosti u poredjenju sa pijanim americkim kosmonautima
