Positions Of Satellites Around The Earth

Simply fascinating. This collection by Analytic Graphics Inc. shows real-time (updated every 30 seconds) positions of 13,000 satellites around the Earth. The positions come from a government-sponsored database which shows all satellites. You get the idea that our near-earth space is getting kind of cluttered don’t you? Play with a plug-in here.

Fifty Years Of Space Missions

An astounding infographic, showing space missions by target, country and whether the missions were successful. The bottom of the chart shows the most distant probes (the Voyagers and the Pioneers) and how far away they are (Voyager I is at ten billion miles). If you have a 4000 pixel monitor, this is what it’s for. […]

Circuit Snacks

Possibly the best way to learn about circuits and circuit diagrams… through sweets! Genius.

Updates

I’m in the middle of updating the software that runs this blog malarkey. And it looks like there are a few problems… hence the rubbish look of the place at the moment. Expect it to be like this until I can finish the redesign (I think blue is the colour of choice) and things will […]

Follow-up to ‘Air Car’

Way back in February, I posted a story about an Air Car. And my misgivings about its appearance are still there – and things haven’t changed. But then again, people buy SMART Cars… Anyway, it seems that things are progressing and a market and infrastructure is getting ready for these in India. The car produces […]

A list of useless things

Have you ever wondered how much of the human body is totally useless? No, well maybe this link might perk your interest up a bit. It’s clearly American, but apart from their size and stupidity, are they really that different from us?! That’s a joke by the way… [link from Adam]

Air Car?

From Celsias: A French designer of engines for Formula One racing cars has turned his attention to creating an engine that runs on, and emits, only air! By all accounts, this is no pie-in-the-sky dream invention either – as the vehicle’s release is slated for later this year. With a top speed of 110kph (68mph) […]

I guess this would be “Hello!”… again.

I’ve no idea when the last entry was on here. I could look… it’ll have been a while. I haven’t checked out of the whole website thing – it’s always been this sporadic, trust me – I think what has put me off doing anything recently is the upsurge in blogs. After all, the software […]

A new version of software…

I’m not sure why I want to let you know this, but it look like I’ve successfully upgraded the software that runs this place… This entry is more of a test to be honest, but let’s see how it goes!

Space Shuttle

Well, since the shuttle landed safely a few minutes ago, I thought I’d write my thoughts about the whole set of shenanigans. The thing is clearly unsafe… and badly designed. All I’m surprised about is that more shuttle disasters haven’t happened previously. However, my opinions are based on little more than what I’ve heard or […]
