Remember the Earth is a moving target traveling around the sun at 65000 miles per hour former astronaut Ed Lu said in a public appearance at the Stanford Institute for Economic policy Research earlier this month.

Ramming a remotely controlled spacecraft against an asteroid to change the velocity by just millimeters per second can avert a collision with Earth.

NASA's near-Earth object office in Pasadena California reports that humans have spotted about 94 percent of the really large civilization-ending near-Earth asteroids âÂ#Âin the 1-to 10

As a comparison a person has about a 1 percent chance of being killed in a car crash.

As a comparison any given American has about a. 01%chance of dying in a plane crash.

#Even Hobby Drones Could Be made Illegal In Texason a hazy day last January an unmanned aircraft enthusiast piloted his camera-equipped drone in the vicinity of a Dallas meatpacking plant cruising around 400 feet in the air.

When he retrieved the remote-controlled aircraft he noticed something odd in the photos: A crimson stream which appeared to be blood leaking into a river tributary.

The pilot whose name has not been released notified Texas environmental authorities who launched an investigation.

The Federal Aviation Administration is in the process of drafting new rules governing unmanned aircraft in civilian airspace including military-style aircraft.

But in the meantime plenty of cheap easy-to-use aircraft are already popular among hobbyists and increasingly activists and law enforcement.

which would make it a misdemeanor to take photos with an unmanned aircraft. It's unique

because it criminalizes taking any data--photos sound temperature even odor--of private property using an unmanned aircraft without the permission of the property owner.

For most people when you say unmanned aerial vehicle they think the Department of defense--'Oh man the Predator that one with the missile on it.'

Ben Gielow general counsel and government relations manager for the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International countered that limiting privacy concerns to unmanned aircraft makes little sense.

what about aircraft doing the same type of mission taking the same pictures? What about satellites and Google earth?

if you have a picture from a manned aircraft or an unmanned aircraft? This is really a data issue;

and underscores why hobbyists and aircraft makers should be taking a more active role in explaining the technology's potential benefits.

Gielow and others described unmanned aircraft as simply another tool easily cheaply and legally used by law enforcement and civilians for a host of reasons.

The U s. Geological Survey which has a vibrant drone program uses unmanned aircraft to look at fault zones woodlands wildfires invasive species and more.

For most people when you say unmanned aerial vehicle they think the Department of defense--'Oh man the Predator that one with the missile on it'Egan said.

Because of this there's no reason why a privately owned human-occupied aircraft can't fly over private property.

Gooden countered that drones expand access--you'd hear a manned airplane or helicopter--and they glimpse areas

and activities that would otherwise be invisible from a public vantage point. If you have a ranch you can pretty much expect that there are areas of your property that are not going to be visible to anyone.

Since The 1970sroscosmos the Russian Federal Space agency will launch an unmanned mission to the moon in 2015 according to agency head Vladimir Popovkin.

The rocket carrying the robotic probe called Luna-Glob will be the first set off from Russia's new Far east launchpad the Vostochny cosmodrome.

Plans are also in development to send a manned spacecraft to the moon in 2018.

Plus they could use it as practice/tests for going to mars. It's about time the space faring governments of the world start building an infrastructure on the lunar surface that will support long term duration stays ship yards fuel generation and processing navigation stations for terrestrial navigation

Then we would need the massive spacecraft able to transport these agricultural products back to earth.

According to Stuart Sumida a biologist at California State university at San bernardino who served as a consultant on Guardians of the Galaxy an alien advanced enough to master space travel would need to have a large brain.

Because unlike the monsters mutants and other VFX-enhanced flights of fancy populating sci-fi flicks apes (even smart ones) aren t imaginary.

The most technically challenging scene in Jupiter Ascending shows the movie s hero (Channing Tatum) zipping through the city in antigravity boots fleeing a spaceship in pursuit of his cargo (Mila Kunis.

Rather the sequence features stunt doubles suspended from a helicopter as it banks through Chicago s urban canyons.

Mounted to the nose of a helicopter the six-camera rig (called the Panocam) could capture nearly 180 degrees of footage.

and swing through the action in postproduction regardless of the helicopter s actual flight path. Not surprisingly the innovation quickly attracted the attention of other directors.

That rig is used now on most of the movies that followed us says Glass. The Answer:

NASA plans to send the chamber and the plant pillows to the International Space station on April 14 aboard a Spacex launch.

The growth chamber is made not of iridescent pink tulle although it looks that way here.

That means it's able to collapse into a flat shape for travel. Once it reaches the International Space station astronauts can open it to use it

and stretch it up to a foot and a half in height as the plants inside grow.

Astronauts can also push the sides down completely to observe their plants. The structure comes with red blue and green LEDS for the plants.

Russian cosmonauts have grown a number of crops aboard the International Space station using a stiff-sided greenhouse with removable trays.

so astronauts can try growing more and larger vegetables. For the April 14 flight the veggie pillows will carry romaine lettuce seedlings of the Outredgeous variety.
