WhiteKnightTwo from Virgin to be unveiled today

For years companies have been looking at ways to launch passengers into space, today we will come a step closer to this dream. WhiteKnightTwo is the world’s largest carbon fiber airplane and will be unveiled today in the Mojave Desert in the United States.

WhiteKnightTwo will airlift Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, this is the Virgin’s commercial space rocket. WhiteKnightTwo will lift SpaceShipTwo to 50,000, where the spacecraft will then blast into orbit.

Back in 2006 it was thought that RAF Lossiemouth as well as Machrihanish in Argyll was to be possible sites for WhiteKnightTwo to take off. Now it looks as though Moray is the front runner.

It is thought that Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, actress Victoria Principal and Virgin Galactic’s founding astronauts will be gusts at the unveiling today.

Hydrogen Cars 40 Year Wait: President Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s views

Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George W. Bush have something in common with some of the biggest automakers, they feel that the future is with hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology, as this kind of fuel produces zero emissions. However; with all things there is always a downside to something that looks to benefit and that is the fact many experts in the field believe that it will be more than 40 years before vehicles that run on hydrogen has a meaningful impact on the fight against global warming.

This does worry me as we just can’t wait that long as our environment needs to see changes long before that. The funny thing is Arnold Schwarzenegger backs hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology, but he still insists in driving around in a big Hummer, and then there is George Bush who did not want to sign up to the kyoto agreement. One why doesn’t Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger get himself a family salon that runs on clean diesel or a hybrid, and as for President Bush, it just seems too little too late.

I am all up for Hydrogen vehicles, but this kind of technology is seen as a long term solutions, there is so much more we can do that will see more instant results. One of the easiest ways to see quick results is by changing your driving styles, so no driving fast and breaking hard, and too make sure that you have the correct amount of air in your tires.

First BD-Live Sony Blu-ray’s: The 6th Day & Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

The first two BD-Live titles are being released from Sony and while I could think of many other Blu-ray movies I like more, the fact is the first two will be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s sci-fi thriller The 6th Day and musical Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

The US release date will be April 8th, this fits just fine with the Sony PS3 2.20 firmware launch and gives millions of Playstation 3 owners the ability to use Profile 2.0 (internet connectivity and Blu-ray).

Although HD DVD lost, it did offer picture-in-picture and Internet connectivity while Blu-ray did not offer these with Profile 1.0. Now those owners of Profile 1.0 Blu-ray players may not be able to use these new features in Profile 2.0 without buying a new player. (Unless you own a PS3 that is).

What would your choice of been for the first two BD-Live Blu-ray discs?
