Lindasufos asked:


For fifty years, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence has been scanning the galaxy for a message from an alien civilisation. So far to no avail, but a recent breakthrough suggests they may one day succeed.
Horizon joins the planet hunters who’ve discovered a new world called Gliese 581 c. It is the most Earth-like planet yet found around another star and may have habitats capable of supporting life. NASA too hopes to find fifty more Earth-like planets by the end of the decade, all of which dramatically increases the chance that alien life has begun elsewhere in the galaxy.

Green: Real Life Captain Picard controls 1st ever ‘green-means-business’ Aviation Hangar

michaelgonline asked:


(shangri-la construction)
Not Area 51 but Hangar 25. This is quite possibly the coolest aviation hangar on the planet. What this hangar accomplishes is really amazing. Shangri-La Construction developed the first eco-conscious and sustainable building for aviation. The aviation industry can certainly use cleaning up. Jet fuel emissions, fossil fuel consumption, and consumer waste are all big contributors to the carbon footprint of the industry. Hangar 25 is an example of how the industry can be cleaned up through better construction.

Hangar 25’s key sustainable design features includes a solar array that produces 110% of the building’s operational electricity needs!!!
