Space Inflatible Habitat




1st prototype habitat was successfully lofted into orbit atop a converted Russian inter-continental ballistic missile by Genesis 1 spacecraft. When compressed, the habitat measures 5 meters (15 feet) in length and 1.9 meters (6.2 feet) in diameter. Once in orbit, it’s designed to inflate to roughly twice its compressed width. target orbit of 550km altitude at 64 degrees inclination. The spacecraft is carrying staff photographs and memorabilia, as well as insects. it’ll stay in orbit for 5 years, It’ll be exposed to years of solar radiation and cosmic rays, and should get peppered with orbital debris. The internal temperature of the spacecraft is reported to be 26 degrees Celsius.

Whipped Cream Ocean




Cappuccino Foam - Stretch of beach front was invaded by foam in a sheer displayed of freaky nature at Yamba, in New South Wales, Australia.


It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades. Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles. These bubbles stick to each other as they are carried below the surface by the current towards the shore. As a wave starts to form on the surface, the motion of the water causes the bubbles to swirl upwards and, massed together, they become foam.
