Hypocrisy over Gaza
Pat Condell always tells it like it is, without sugar coating. I do not always agree with everything he posts but I do most of the time.
Here he shows he knows his history.

Coming up: Aviation The Invisible Highway
Here is the first trailer for “Aviation The Invisible Highway”, a must-see film coming in 2015.
Narrated by Harrison Ford, it shows us how aviation has in only 100 years gone from a dream into everyday life and how much more is to come.
See the video here!
Rosetta Arrives at a Comet!
This is Phil Plait’s (my favorite astronomer) posting on Rosetta’s arrival at comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
I met Phil in Ft. Lauderdale years ago and I have been a follower of his writings and his presentations for years.
Here he introduces us to the latest pictures from Rosetta (Wikipedia link) who has been travelling since 2004 to reach the comet.

For the next month it will keep orbiting the comet, closer and closer and then release a “lander” that will softly touch down on the comet’s surface and due to the low gravity to keep it in place, will shoot some harpoons to anchor itself there ands spend a year at least, doing experiments and testing the soil. Science is awesome!
