In partnership with Envoy, American Airlines, the Dallas ISD, The Medal of Honor Foundation, Independence Corps, Microsoft, the Buzz Aldrin Foundation, Florida Institute of Technology, and Kennedy Space Center, students from four Dallas high schools were provided a once in a lifetime opportunity with a historical trip to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Envoy provided a private charter to bring the students to the space center, and became the first civilian airliner with passengers to land on the runway where the Space Shuttle landed when returning from a mission.
Beginning with a kick off dinner inside Envoy’s maintenance hangar at DFW International Airport, and a good nights rest at the Sheraton DFW Airport Hotel, everyone boarded the beautiful E-175 aircraft provided by Envoy, and took off for Cape Canaveral! After the historic landing on the runway, students were taken to the Astronaut Training Experience center for a full day of training, learning, and working in teams to accomplish their mission goals. Over the next 3 days the students were also given the opportunity to tour the center, work in the Mars training laboratory, and fly simulators at the Florida Institute of Technology with their aviation program. All the activities were tailored to provide the students exposure and inspiration to purse career paths in STEM related fields. Combining STEM activities with the Medal of Honor Foundation’s Character Development program was also a driving force behind the trip and experience. Medal of Honor Recipient, Gary Littrell, and VP of Education for the foundation, Cathy Metcalf, joined the students, and provided valuable lessons on Character, Integrity, Commitment, Sacrifice, Patriotism, and Citizenship. Michael Jernigan, USMC (Ret.), also joined the students providing inspiration and assistance to all.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this amazing trip possible, and provided the students with an educational experience of a lifetime. Photography proudly provided by Reel Heroes Media.

On 18–19 September, Europe’s space industry from start-up companies to large system integrators gathered at ESA–ESTEC in the Netherlands for Industry Space Days 2024.
This is a key event for most companies involved in space in Europe, they gain insights into ESA’s near and long-term activities and procurement needs. Thousands of one-on-one prescheduled meetings between companies will have marked the start of useful business collaborations and increased their chances in future ESA procurements and commercial activities.
An exhibition hall with 170 stands was a valuable way for companies to discover, discuss or showcase technologies and make useful contacts.
There were more than 2000 registered participants representing 1100 companies from 42 countries at ISD 2024. For many of these companies, this event is an essential part of their business strategy.

Recent literature argues that in the US modern technologies replace jobs intensive in routine, codifiable tasks, and wipe out the middle-skilled employment. The evidence whether it is also the case in emerging economies is still scarce. In order to bridge this gap, I analyse the changes in the task content of jobs in 10 Central and Eastern European countries (CEE) between late 1990s and middle 2010s. I find that the CEE countries witnessed rising intensity of non-routine cognitive tasks, and a decreasing intensity of manual tasks. However, most of them experienced a rise in routine cognitive tasks, a trend absent in the most advanced economies. I assess the relative role played by education and technology in these developments. I also analyse the contribution of structural changes and occupational changes. I identify two groups of workers whose jobs depend most on performing routine cognitive tasks, who jointly represent 33% of workers in CEE, and are likely to be affected by future technical progress.

since the Korean war rapid transport of trauma patients to surgeons has reduced the mortalitiy of military and civilian casualties. We know in theatres when one arrives because we can smell kerosene in the air-cond. If you view at the larger sizes you can see condensation trails from the pressure gradient at the tips of the rotor blades
