LAS VEGAS — Boeing has seen the future of private human spaceflight, and it is blue. Sky blue, that is.The aerospace giant on Wednesday (April 30) unveiled its new concept for the cabin of a future commercial spaceliner — a vision based in part on the blue-lit Boeing 'Sky' interior of the company's modern airliners, as well as work on the company's to ferry NASA astronauts on roundtrips to the International Space Station.' As we find ourselves on the verge of commercial flight we begin to think, 'What does come next? Provided there is a destination for them out there, how will that passenger want to go back and forth?' ' said Chris Ferguson, a former astronaut who commanded NASA's final space shuttle mission in 2011 and now serves as Boeing's director of crew and mission operations for the commercial crew program.To reveal what they think the answers to those questions are, Ferguson joined other Boeing representatives at the Las Vegas facilities of the company now building a possible destination for Boeing's capsule: a private space station under development by Bigelow Aerospace. The Bigelow utilizes inflatable modules to provide large living and work spaces for commercial researchers and private individuals. 'Our plan is to have two of our BA-330 modules ready to ship to the launch site by the end of 2016,' said Jay Ingham, Bigelow's vice president and program manager for the BA 330.
This has to be the most underrated Classic arcade game of all time. Until this weekend I had never even heard of this game (despite owning it on an Atari Anthology)! Basically its a vector game similar to The Guardian Legend or Air Fortress: alternating levels of Shooting and Infiltration.
Originally posted by:The patch makes the platform sections really easier with the additional checkpoint, it should not be necessary to use cheats, even for non-experienced people in 1st person view platformers.didn't mean to subvert the way you want to game to be played or anything, but i've meant this more for people who are on the verge of quitting the entire game because of a specific section. This is just a quicker, more efficient way to bypass a section than editing your game saves to have all the checkpoints in the game. I've added a disclaimer to discourage outright cheating on the first attempt. I'm sorry but I'm a gaming veteran and the first-person platforming and manoeuvering is such a bad decision it's not even funny. I was positively enthralled and almost brought to palpitation by the Nihei aesthetics and superbly structured exploration that I was dedicated to finish in one sitting but the instant death moments brought me here to find a way around them.
Remember what it used to be like in the days of the big publishers who forced developers to release games before they were ready? They did this because they didn’t care about games, about fans, about the industry as a whole, about me, about you. They only cared about profits. They took breaks from counting their money to hold meetings in conference rooms where they showed charts that explained how much money they would make if a game came out on a certain date, usually just before a fiscal quarter ended or in time for the holiday shopping seasons. The people in the meetings didn’t actually play games because they were too busy counting money, plus they were above such frivolity. They might as well have been selling shoes or plumbing fixtures or alt rock albums they didn’t even listen to. And then crowdfunding came along and game developers who loved videogames got to do what was best for the games, for the fans, for the industry as a whole, for me, for you. And we all lived happily ever after.
The phrase 'knowledge is power' is often attributed to Francis Bacon, from his Meditationes Sacrae (1597).1. Thomas Jefferson used the phrase in his correspondence on at least four occasions, each time in connection with the establishment of a state university in Virginia. Francis Bacon, Sr. Knowledge is power. You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them.
