Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II is the short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the aircraft. Similar in size to the A variant, the B sacrifices some fuel volume for a vertical flight system. Vertical flight is by far the riskiest, and in the end, a decisive factor in design. Like the AV-8B Harrier II, the B's guns will be carried in a ventral pod.

On June 11th test pilot Graham Tomlinson, a former Royal Air Force Harrier pilot now employed by BAE Systems, performed a conventional takeoff at 10:17 a.m. CDT from Lockheed Martin’s Fort Worth facility. As planned, all initial F-35B flights will be made using conventional takeoffs and landings, with transitions to short takeoffs, hovers and vertical landings beginning early next year. Tomlinson guided the jet to 15,000 feet and performed a series of handling tests, engine-power variations and subsystems checks before landing at 11:01 a.m. CDT.

Virgin Galactic is on the verge of forever changing the face of human space flight. In late July 2008. they rolled out Eve which is one of the two ships needed to send private astronauts in to space for $200,000 per ticket. While that may sound like a lot keep in mind that current tickets to space cost around $25,000,000 so we’re on the right track. (source: milkandcookies)

The Gustavus series was started in 1964 (68 episodes in 1964, then another 52 episodes in the 1970s) - an initiative by Attila Dargay, Jozsef Nepp and Marcell Jankovics after an earlier hit by Jozsef Nepp, "Passion" (1961). Gustavus became a familiar character in over seventy countries. This series was the debut for the greater part of the second generation of Hungarian animators, including József Gémes, Tamás Szabó Sípos, Béla Ternovszky and others. The first puppet series was the 26-episode Memoirs of a World Famous Hunter, jointly directed by Ottó Foky and István Imre.

Postmodern Times is a series of short animated films presenting new ideas about global consciousness and techniques for social and ecological transformation. Our first episode, "Toward 2012", introduces the project, explaining concepts from the best-selling book, "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl" (Tarcher/Penguin, 2006) by Daniel Pinchbeck, in the author's own voice. Future segments will focus on shamanism, sustainability, alternative energy systems, the Mayan Calendar, quantum physics and synchronicity, human sexuality, and a host of other subjects.
