Spears Ingin Diawetkan Agar Hidup Kembali

25/05/2010 21:51 | Selebritas
Liputan6.com, Los Angeles: Britney Spears memiliki obsesi konyol dalam hidupnya. Pelantun `Break the Ice` ini mengaku ingin diawetkan dalam nitrogen cair, jika ia meninggal nanti. Ia berharap, dirinya dapat dihidupkan kembali dengan teknologi dimasa depan.

"Britney terobsesi dengan metode pengawetan terbaru. Itu berawal ketika seseorang mengatakan kepadanya bahwa Walt Disney diawetkan dengan cryogenic untuk dihidupkan kembali di masa depan," ujar kerabat dekat Britney. "Ia mencari tahu dan ia yakin itu layak dicoba," kata sang kerabat.

Jadilah penyanyi berusia 28 tahun memanfaatkan Hari Ibu dengan mengunjungi Disneyland dan mencari perihal cryogenic di internet. Ia bahkan berharap dapat berinvestasi harta untuk dihidupkan kembali dimasa depan. "Tidak apa-apa, jika ia ingin menginvestasikan uang dalam cryogenic. Tapi ayahnya membatasi tak lebih dari $ 350.000 atau setara Rp 3,5 miliar," jelas kerabatnya. Sebelumnya Britney menginginkan kremasi glamor saat dirinya meninggal.(ContactMusic/AST/AYB)

Mobil Berkonsep Fotosintesis Digagas

24/05/2010 14:45
Liputan6,com, Beijing: Produsen Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) baru-baru ini meluncurkan desain mobil yang memiliki konsep serupa dengan fotosintesis. Mobil yang diberi nama YeZ (diucapkan "ya-zi") yang dalam bahasa Mandarin berarti "daun," rencananya akan mengambil karbondioksida sebagai bahan bakar dan mengeluarkan oksigen sebagai gas buangnya.

SAIC saat ini bekerjasama dengan General Motors di Cina, menunjukkan desain untuk konsep mobil YeZ di Expo 2010 di Shanghai. Ma Zhengkun pencipta YeZ mengatakan bahwa atap mobil akan menyerap energi matahari dan mengubahnya menjadi listrik sedangkan rotor yang berputar pada empat roda menghasilkan daya angin.

Volcano

A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, ash and gases to escape from below the surface. The word volcano is derived from the name of Vulcano island off Sicily which in turn, was named after Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.^[1]

Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust (called "non-hotspot intraplate volcanism"), such as in the African Rift Valley, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America and the European Rhine Graben with its Eifel volcanoes.

Volcanoes can be caused by mantle plumes. These so-called hotspots, for example at Hawaii, can occur far from plate boundaries. Hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on rocky planets and moons.

Ariane 5 rocket makes 50th flight

Europe's Ariane 5 rocket has made its 50th flight from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana.

The rocket lifted away from the launch pad at 2201 GMT, carrying two telecommunications satellites with a combined mass of almost eight tonnes.

After failing on its very first mission in 1996, the Ariane 5 has developed into a highly reliable vehicle with a dominant role in the launcher market.

About half the world's large commercial comms satellites now launch on Ariane.

Friday's dual payload included the SES Astra 3B spacecraft, which will deliver TV and broadband services to Europe and the Middle East, and the ComsatBW-2 platform which will provide secure data links for the German armed forces.

The 5.4-tonne Astra 3B was the first to be deployed by Ariane some 27 minutes into the flight; the 2.4-tonne ComsatBW-2 was released six minutes later.

Ariane's departure ended two frustrating months for the rocket's operator, Arianespace.

The mission had been postponed three times since late March. The previous launch attempt in early April even got to within a minute of blast-off before the countdown sequence was halted.

Inquiries set up to investigate the delays and quality control issues in the rocket's preparation resulted in a regulator that maintains pressure in the vehicle's super-cold (cryogenic) hydrogen and oxygen propellant tanks being exchanged.

The generic Ariane 5 launcher went into full commercial service in 1999, and was followed a few years later by the beefed-up version, the ECA, which is capable of lofting nearly 10 tonnes of payload into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) some 36,000km above the Earth.

The rocket has two solid boosters to lift it off the ground, a cryogenic main stage to do most of the work of getting into orbit, and an upper-stage to place the satellites in the target orbit, or GTO.

Friday's mission marked the 36th consecutive successful launch for an Ariane 5.

Highlights in the vehicle's 14-year-history include the launch of Europe's flagship Herschel and Planck space telescopes last year; the bloc's 2bn-euro Envisat Earth-observation spacecraft in 2002; and its "Jules Verne" robotic supply ship that went to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2008 weighing more than 20 tonnes.

European ministers have approved a programme to upgrade the rocket. This "mid-life evolution" should enter service later this decade and give the vehicle a GTO capability of 13 tonnes.

Despite the late start to its 2010 launch campaign, Arianespace promises to fly six further Arianes this year, including a second ISS freighter called "Johannes Kepler".
