The dude in the 2nd picture is in total Gargoyle mode (ala Stephenson) with his strap on...uh..um...bi-directiona,infrared,802.1x, thing hunched to his back like a redwood...
I find that a strict regimen of masturbation keeps me at a fit and trim 170 lbs. I recommend starting slow...maybe once a day until you build up your endurance. After several months..increase your reps to 2-3 times a day, allowing proper recovery intervals. Before beginning any excercise routine, it is advised that you consult your physician, and in this case, your nearest pr0n outlet....
Would love to get her hands on these puppies..err..mice. The Fists of Righteous Harmony would cower in wonder as the injured mice army magically healed themselves and continued their ass-kickin stomp of pre-nublile teenie girl perfection.
Think of the porno movie spin offs and proffits to be had by licensing streaming video!! Think of the angles that are possible in a zero-G environment...the Russians in the background maoning "Dah...dah..dah..." Its LUST in Space!
From the 1980 Washington Monthly article referenced above...Outlines the myriad of technical challenges inherent in the Shuttle concept
Some suspect the tile mounting is the least of Columbia's difficulties. "I don't think anybody appreciates the depths of the problems," Kapryan says. The tiles are the most important system NASA has ever designed as "safe life." That means there is no back-up for them. If they fail, the shuttle burns on reentry. If enough fall off, the shuttle may become unstable during landing, and thus un-pilotable. The worry runs deep enough that NASA investigated installing a crane assembly in Columbia so the crew could inspect and repair damaged tiles in space. (Verdict: Can't be done. You can hardly do it on the ground.)
According to the computers, as long as you can bring the shuttle back into the atmosphere, you can fly it to the airfield even if the tiles are damaged. Former Apollo astronaut Richard Cooper doubts the computers know what they're meeping about. Many of the projections are based on the magnificent accuracy of the Apollo landings. Apollo went to the moon, came back, and dropped all its little manned modules into a target area about the size of Los Angeles International Airport. But Apollo modules were ballistic projectiles. They were slightly asymmetrical and thus had a little lift for control, but basically they fell like well-aimed stones. The science of ballistics is much more precise and predictable than the art of flying. To assume that experience with one is the same as experience with the other is to confuse a slingshot with a seagull. The only way to find out about something as big and balky as Columbia, Cooper says, is to launch the thing and see what happens. Computers have never flown with the unpredictable combination of damaged tiles that a shuttle may experience. They've never been whacked by a sudden, nonprogrammed gust of jetstream wind. They've never flounced like a twig on the crazy rapids of "bias"--the bland physics term for unexplained variations in the earth's gravitational and magnetic fields. These are the wild, uncharted rivers of space. Unknown; unknowable; beyond programming. To find out if your ship can cope with them, you have to take it up there.
I heard a great story on NPR recently concerning the differences in European and US vacation time. The story summed it up this way -
Europeans would rather drive a small car and paddle a canoe while enjoying 6 wks of vacation.
Americans would rather drive the monster truck and powerboat and have 2 wks of vacation.
My current job - 1st five years of service - 2wks annual vacation with no rollover. I would gladly work 4 days a week if they would let me (i've asked/begged) and take the 20% salary/benefits cut.
Saw an episode of Discovery whith researchers working w/ octopi. Seems the critters were very fond of a certain snail. So, the techs put one in a glass baby food jar (sans the label) screwed the lid on and put it in the tank w/ the octopus. The octo unscrewed the jar and got the snail in about 3 minutes. Pretty damn amazing.
Time to turn to the one true money making venture - Live-feed porn from ISS. Think of the angles that weightlessness would provide. The whirring fans, the blinking lights, the russians moaning "Da! Da! Da!"
The Blender Community ROCKS!! It gathered itself up by the bootstraps and saved one outrageously cool 3D render engine!

Blender is an amazing 3d rendering engine, but it is also alot more. You can build 3D games with it. Edit video with it. Edit sound with it. All this and more crammed into a 3MB binary (the UI rocks if you let it, but it aint your typical Windowsintric UI). For most of its lifespan it was given away. Last year, in effor to keep it alive, the owners began to charge for portions of it. Eventually they went bankrupt, but the Blender community stayed alive.
