Technicians at the Airbus facility in Bremen, Germany weigh the European Service Module ahead of shipment to Kennedy Space Center. The service module will depart Germany on November 5th, 2018 and will arrive in the U.S. on November 6.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

Fred Manyara, a technician with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) based in Embu district in central Kenya, displays a malformed maize plant damaged by early attack by stem borers. CIMMYT and KARI work in partnership to develop maize varieties resistant to borers.
Stem borers are a class of insect pest, made up of a number of moth species distributed around the world, which lay their eggs at night on the underside of emerging leaves of young maize plants. The larvae, or caterpillars, that hatch from the eggs - i.e. the borers - quickly make their way inside the plant, where they feed undisturbed by predators. Young larvae feed on foliar tissue in the whorl, leading to perforations in unfolding leaves, and potential destruction of the growing point, while older larvae burrow into the stem, where they starve the growing plant of nutrients and can cause lodging. They feed extensively on tassels, ears, and stems.
Borers' stealthy habits make them one of the most damaging pests for maize in Africa, and yet virtually invisible to farmers, who tend to attribute the damage to their crops to more visible pests. “Many farmers in Kenya don’t even know their maize fields have a stem borer problem, yet these insects cost them some 400,000 tons in lost harvest each year,” says CIMMYT maize breeder Stephen Mugo. Chemical pesticides can control borers, but must be applied soon after planting, and are difficult for resource-poor farmers to afford. “Even farmers who know about stem borers only notice the damage after it’s too late for chemical control. A seed-based technology is what we need,” says Mugo.
In ongoing research, CIMMYT is collaborating with KARI to develop maize varieties that are resistant to stem borers, and to disseminate these to resource-poor smallholder farmers. “Maize that resists stem borer damage would take the guesswork out of stem borer pesticide usage by eliminating it altogether,” says Mugo. The work is part of the Insect Resistant Maize for Africa (IRMA) project.

Looks like they're squeezing out the bubbles! Both wonderful and you gotta be kidding me!!!
From the following document, entitled:
“HISTORICAL REPORT
MICHOUD ASSEMBLY FACILITY
January 1, 1967 - December 31, 1967”
“To promote recognition of the space effort of the United States, American flags are now being placed on Saturn V first stages. Four flags are centered around the liquid oxygen tank, one to each quarter. The flags are produced by a silk-screen process on self-adhesive paper in four sheets, and measure 6'8" by 12 feet.”
So, my stab is that it's S-IC-3/AS-503/Apollo 8...maybe Apollo 9. Close enough.
The advantage of composites is that the fibres can be place in the ideal direction to carry the loads. This, combined with their inherent light weight, results in dramatic weight saving possibilities. Another benefit of using composite materials in design is that complex shape parts can often be made in a single moulding, reducing the need for assembly and mechanical fastening operations.

Ok, so I can't help, but wonder who is the zipper technician and in an emergency Do they perform on-the-fly repairs?
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself...
While we were waiting in line for the photobooth, this guy got in and took these. He left the curtain open, so we could see what he was doing and were giggling the whole time. He came out and explained that he was checking the aperture of the machine because previous strips had been coming out too dark. I asked if I could have this strip because I'm a creeper, and he kindly obliged.
He checked the machine several times throughout the 5 hours I was there, and he did the same thing every time. Hands up, tie over the shoulder, silly grin. I liked him.

If any of you have played the new Tribes Ascend, you may have played the Technician class at one point, and you'll note, the Technician has a very disappointing little SMG. Granted you can upgrade to a Thumper, but it doesn't change the fact that the SMG is terrible. Its because the Tech is meant for mostly base repair and defense I know, but in light of the Tech SMG being so bad, I wanted to build something a little better and came up with this.
The original version is actually the one in the middle. Tech's can carry either of the bottom 2 as SMGs while the Carbine version up top is meant for any class, to add a little accuracy.

Technicians, engineers and U.S. Air Force personnel prepare to support erection of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V booster at Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The rocket will launch NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, or InSight, mission to land on Mars. InSight is the first mission to explore the Red Planet's deep interior. It will investigate processes that shaped the rocky planets of the inner solar system including Earth. Liftoff is scheduled for May 5, 2018.

UNICEF’s director for West and Central Africa, Gianfranco Rotigliano, visited the office. He does not care much for meetings so we went straight out to get a better understanding of the situation of children. Over three days we drove from Conakry to Bamako in Mali. Along the way we visited schools and health centres in towns and villages. It was abundantly clear that the health system is not working and that major reform is needed. The education system also needs reform, but fortunately for that we have, with a coalition of donors, a solution.

A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will launch from an atoll in the Pacific this spring. The mission will help scientists better understand and predict the electrical storms in Earth's upper atmosphere that can negatively affect satellite communication and global positioning signals.
The mission, called EVEX, for the Equatorial Vortex Experiment, will launch into a crucial layer of charged particles surrounding our planet. Called the ionosphere, this layer serves as the medium through which high frequency radio waves – such as those sent down to the ground by global positioning system (GPS) satellites or, indeed, any satellite communicating with Earth – travel. The ionosphere begins about 60 miles above the ground and is filled with electrons and ions, alongside the more familiar extension of our electrically neutral atmosphere. Governed by Earth’s magnetic field, high-altitude winds, and incoming material and energy from the sun, the ionosphere can be calm in certain places or times of day, and quite turbulent at others.
EVEX will launch two rockets for a twelve-minute journey through the equatorial ionosphere above the South Pacific. This area of the ionosphere is known for calm days and tempestuous evenings, times when the ionosphere becomes rippled like a funhouse mirror, disturbing radio signals, and introducing GPS errors of a half mile or more. The two rockets will measure events in two separate regions of the ionosphere to see how they work together to drive the ionosphere from placid and smooth to violently disturbed. Such information could ultimately lead to the ability to accurately forecast this important aspect of space weather.
The launch window for EVEX is from April 27 to May 10. The team will decide when to fly based on conditions in the ionosphere on any given night.

In places like Manhattan, EKG Certification holds an utmost importance to ensure a good job in the medical field. To maintain your job for a long period, the certification plays a pivotal role.
He told me about one toy they are using. A tiny plane that he can control from the ground. It will survey the area, take all the necessary photos and land where he wants it to. I could use something like that.
