The MIM-3 Nike Ajax was the world's first operational surface-to-air missile (SAM). Designed to intercept high-altitude aircraft, the vehicle consisted of a solid-propellant booster and a liquid-fueled upper stage. The first Nike Ajax flew at White Sands Proving Ground (now White Sands Missile Range), New Mexico in 1951 and was operational from 1954 to 1963. The more advanced Nike Hercules replaced the Ajax.

Launcher on loan from NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, VA
Length 34 feet, 10 inches (10.6 meters)
Diameter 12 inches (30.5 cm)
Weight 2,455 pounds (1,114 kg)
Range 30 miles (48 km)
Speed Mach 2.3 (1,710 mph/2,760 km/h @ 50,000 ft.)

Fun Fact: The lower portion of the rocket, the Nike solid fuel booster 1st stage, provided 59,000 Ibs. (262.4 kn) of thrust for just 3 seconds. This short burst of thrust pushed the one ton missile up through the sound barrier

If you know my stream a little and you see this photo, you might come the right conclusion: It was dentist time again! :-S
A flower shop next my dentist is selling all kind of beautiful ornaments, as I already tried to show here. To this, already great collection, three football players were now added. Maybe because of the coming World championship Football in South Africa?
These three players couldn’t participate there because they are not wearing the national orange colours, but are clearly recognizable as players from the Amsterdam-based Ajax.
Obviously I'm a huge Ajax fan, so in honor of them making the Champions League i decided to create a custom desktop:
- Yahoo Widescapeweather widget
- Kobhens icon set for the dock
- Back in Black icon set for the folders
- Geektool to create "HUD" for dock + widget
- Translucent dark menubar
- iStat menus to maintain uniform red/white look

Ajax loves the bed I sleep on when I stay with Anna. He sleeps there during the day sometimes, and always comes to visit me during the night. Sometimes he'll curl up with me and sleep for a little while during the night (although both he and Leo are pretty nocturnal). He's a very cuddly and affectionate cat, which is pretty cute.
