Solar Powered Helios Plane Destroyed in Test Flight
deglr6328 writes "NASA's solar powered Helios airplane has crashed into the Pacific off the coast of Kauai today during its first test using a regenerative fuel cell power supply. Helios held the record for highest prop propelled plane altitude at 96,863 (set 2 years ago) and was making preparations for a 96 hour continuous flight using its 62,000 solar cells during the day while electrolyzing water into hydrogen and oxygen for use in its fuel cells at night. With the capability to carry 200 lb. to near 100,000 ft. for months on end, Helios was eyed with great anticipation by scientists and RF telecommunications buisnesses alike."

Wow, yet another fine example of the citizenry of the /. crowd.
No need to just acknowedlge he did a decent amount of good stuff, and yes he made some mistakes along the way. However, in the end, I would like to believe that his political contributions have outweighed his political "blunders".
In either case, RIP Senator Thurmond.

Of course you can.
His UIN is -244, or 0xFFFFFF0C, which means you just need to register enough accounts to get UIN 4294967052. Better hurry, though, before Slashdot switches to 64-bit ints.
EDGEFIELD, S.C. (AP) - Former U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond died last night at the age of 100. He was in the Senate for 48 of his 100 years. He is best remembered for a third-party presidential run in 1948. Southern Democrats nominated their own candidate, upset over President Harry Truman's support of civil rights. Thurmond carried four southern states, good for 39 electoral votes. Truman won the election anyway. Thurmond, who died Thursday night, suffering a heart attack while engaging in butt sex. He had wanted to try it after learning that the U.S. Supreme court had ruled that Sodomy is not illegal between consenting adults. He will be sorely missed.
