Testing begins on the Orion Service Module Umbilical (OSMU) on Vehicle Motion Simulator 1 at the Launch Equipment Test Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The series of tests also will include a simulated launch test. The mobile launcher tower will be equipped with a number of lines, called umbilicals that will connect to the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1). The OSMU will be located high on the mobile launcher tower and, prior to launch, will transfer liquid coolant for the electronics and air for the Environmental Control System to the Orion service module that houses these critical system to support the spacecraft. Kennedy's Engineering Directorate is providing support to the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program for testing of the OSMU. EM-1 is scheduled to launch in 2018.

Boeing 720B Cockpit Simulator
The first jet powered airliner, the deHavilland Comet, flew for the first time in 1949 and entered service in 1952. A series of accidents pointed out serious problems in the aircraft's design, and the grounding of the Comet for the next four years opened the door for Boeing and Douglas Aircraft to take the lead in jet airliner design. Boeing's entry into the jet age, the 707, quickly came to dominate the market, outstripping both the Douglas DC-8 and the redesigned Comet. Based on Boeing's design for an aerial refueling tanker for the U.S. Air Force, the 707 took advantage of Boeing's experience with jet bomber designs to incorporate a swept wing and engines in separate pods under the wings. The first production 707 flew in 1957, with the first commercial flight by Pan American Airways in October 1958. Between then and 1978 a total of 1,010 aircraft were built by Boeing for the world's airlines. In addition to the standard 707s, Boeing built 152 of a slightly shorter version of the plane called the 720. These planes were designed to fly medium range flights from smaller airports, a niche in the market that would eventually be filled by the Boeing 727.
Training of airline pilots is accomplished to a great extent in detailed cockpit simulators that exactly duplicate the aircraft they will one day be flying. In full motion simulators, like this one, hydraulic or electric jacks move the simulator realistically in response to the pilot's control inputs and simulated external forces. Each simulator not only represents a specific type of aircraft but replicates the flying characteristics of one particular example of that type. This simulator was programmed to replicate a Boeing 720 with the registration N93143 which was once owned by Western Airlines. The use of simulators makes practicing both normal and emergency procedures less expensive and much less dangerous. Today the vast majority of airline pilot training is done in full motion simulators rather than in real aircraft.
"There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”

Cindo Paris Series 52.5mm f=85mm (f/2.2)
The Cindo Paris f=85mm is a cinema / movie projection lens of Petzval design.—The 'Series 52.5mm' refers to the diameter of the lens tube.—The effective aperture of that lens appears to be f/2.2 (calculated based on the focal length [85mm] and the maximum aperture [38mm]...as a diaphragm-less lens, the diameter of the the front glass (Ø 38mm) represents the maximum aperture).
First series, constructed as a sleeve around the lens: 49-52mm, 52-55mm, 55-58mm, 58-62mm, 62mm spacer tube, 62-58mm, 58-55mm, 55-52mm, 55-42mm, M42-Nikon F adapter, which had an effective focussing distance of ~90cm.— As part of the Antique Camera Simulator project.

Theme Park Insider.com has voted The Simpsons Ride as the “Best New Theme Park Attraction” worldwide for 2008!
The Simpsons™ are visiting Krustyland, the low-budget theme park created by famed TV personality and shameless product huckster Krusty the Clown!
You are there right alongside Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie as you enter through the carnival-like midway. Once you board your vehicle you’re in for one surprise after another as you embark on a wild, over-the-top ride through the park… flying, floating, and more or less crashing your way through Krustyland’s kiddie attractions, stunt shows, and thrill rides.
State-of-the-art digital projectors cover an 80 ft. diameter dome surface with an image four times the standard High Definition found in most home theaters, and twice what you’d experience in a normal digital theater. All the character voices in the attraction were performed by the original stars of the long-running The Simpsons show.
Hilarious new The Simpsons animation was created not just for the ride, but for the pre-show and queue areas as well.
