La Bourbon, communément appelée Dodo, est une bière blonde produite et commercialisée à la Réunion par les Brasseries de Bourbon du groupe Heineken, dont elle est le premier produit, le plus connu et le plus vendu. Elle est ainsi surnommée en référence à l'oiseau de l'île Maurice aujourd'hui disparu qui fait figure de logo, un Dodo souriant.
Histoire:
La recette de la bière Bourbon a été élaborée avec l'aide d'un maître brasseur appelé Gérard Avanzini par celui qui a fondé les Brasseries de Bourbon en 1962, un certain Stevenson.
La première Dodo sort des fûts le 9 juin 1963. Elle est d'abord commercialisée sous le nom de Dodo-Pils, dans des bouteilles de 75 cl.
La boisson prend le nom de Bière Bourbon en 1970, mais le changement d'identité est un échec, la clientèle continuant de recourir à l'appellation dodo. La brasserie décide alors de communiquer sur ce nom pourtant officieux et de valoriser au maximum le profil sympathique du gros oiseau qui figure sur l'étiquette.
Aussi, cet emblème publicitaire aux couleurs vives apparaît aujourd'hui très souvent sur les murs des petits commerces traditionnels réunionnais accompagné du slogan « La dodo lé la », ce qui signifie « La Dodo est ici » en créole.
Au milieu de l'année 2005, un musée à sa gloire a été inauguré par le producteur à Saint-Denis, la Maison de la Bière Dodo.
De nombreuses publicités peintes directement pour la « Dodo » couvrent les murs à l'Île de la Réunion.

Apollo 14 Capsule
“I think about the personal accomplishment, but there’s more of a sense of the grand achievement by all the people who could put this man on the moon.” - Alan Shepard, Apollo 14 Commander
January 31 - February 9, 1971
Space is a dangerous place, complete with micro-meteoroids, radiation and airlessness. And coming home from it is not easy task. The compact and confined command module with its three man crew would be welcomed and engulfed by searing white-hot flames as it slammed through the atmosphere back down to Earth.
“In designing the command module, the one thing we had to be sure of was that we could keep the crew alive — that was a big item,” said Max Faget, NASA chief engineer and principal designer of the command module.
The engineers at North American Rockwell (NASA’s prime contractor for the command module) were up to that challenge. 14,000 people and a talented collection of 9,000 other companies, all worked to ensure that millions of components on the command module were in perfect order.
Named Kitty Hawk, the capsule was crafted with more than 2,000,000 parts; nearly 15 miles (24 km) of wire; a control panel with 24 instruments, 566 switches, 40 indicators and 71 lights. It would take a journey of 500,000 miles (804,672 km) before it safely delivered the crew back home with a cargo of more than 100 pounds (45 kg) of moon rocks.

Julia, Dan and I in a mock-up of a three person space capsule at Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral. I think one of my crew mates needs longer arms.
Kennedy Space Centre was amazing. One of the best vacation days ever for me, and my family. I think it may have solidified a life long love of space and space exploration for my daughter. I think I might pick up a telescope for summer nights at the lake now.
A special thanks to my wife for framing this photo so well.

Flight-Rated (but unflown) Mercury Capsule #17. Manufactured by the McDonnell Aircraft Corp., it was shipped to Cape Canaveral on April 18, 1963, and was used to provide spare parts for the last Mercury mission, "Faith 7", flown by L. Gordon Cooper Jr. on May 15-16, 1963.

Tiny replicas of mega expensive Chogokin items. Not like the originals they are mainly made of plastic and very small in size but great way to reminiscence the old toys and make cool display when they are in bunches. Imagine how much it will be if these are all originals!!

Photo of a polished capsule for National Ignition Facility (NIF) inertial confinement fusion experiments. The target is a 2-millimeter-diameter capsule filled with a deuterium–tritium (DT) gas, which is surrounded by a few-nanometer-thick layer of DT ice.
The entire capsule is housed in a cylindrical gold case called a hohlraum. Two openings, one on either side of the several-millimeter-long hohlraum body, are the entry points for the laser beams. A sophisticated target positioner and an automated alignment system place the target at the center of the 10-meter-diameter target chamber with an accuracy of less than the thickness of a human hair.
I used to think this pic looked cool. Oh my God, I used to think the Real World was fun to watch, too. Barf.
I tried to present this image in the most accurate light possible. The capsule hotel my friend chose in the middle of Hiroshima, Japan wasn't swankiest place available, nor was it the brightest lit place but it suited his budget - for 2,300 yen (~$21)
It's location was Hiroshima's Red Light district... couple of doors down where sex shops to keep you amused should you get bored. Inside your spacious capsule you'll find a personal coin operated 12" TV, a small fan you could turn on, a small florescent light, a mirror. sliding curtains for privacy, a foam futon with sheets.
When i was told we're staying in a capsule hotel, I imagined it'll be like one of those fancy places you see in some movies. I was a little disappointed when I saw this place. Sure as hell wasn't the most uncomfortable place I've spent a night in but none the less, it was an experience.
I'll be honest with you, if you haven't already tried one of those things, you must try it. Just for personal experience.
A Polytrichum sporophyte capsule with its calyptra pulled off. The central part is the sporangium, closed on top by the operculum covering the peristome opening at the tip of the capsule. Once the capsule dries up, the operculum will fall off, thus allowing the capsule to release its spores.
Gemini Tow Test Vehicle 2
The Gemini was supposed to become the first spacecraft to return to a controlled runway style landing.
Using an inflatable wing the concept was successfully demonstrated on two Gemini TTVs, cost, weight and timescale constraints prevented this from happening. All capsule landings splashed down in the sea.

"...the Nakagin Capsule Tower, his best known building and one of the few built examples of the Metabolist movement, was given a date with the wrecking ball....
...in recent years residents expressed growing concern over the presence of asbestos. A demolition is yet to be determined."
