Discovery+ISS - Space day II.

Pictures have been taken today (The Discovery is far from the ISS, already, so I could capture them in two photos, poorly).

Red Bull Air Race Snapshot Award

Today I published some of my photos on the website of Red Bull Air Race. I'm going for the prize of a VIP ticket to the RBAR "pitlane" with the calmness of the chanceless. Go, and watch, and vote for those worth it!

Pictures are here.

Schmap

Maybe my picture are useful, at last.

One of them has been asked to be in an iPhone based program, the Schmap map of Wien.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Here come the beasts

I don't like the outlook of the Formula 1 cars this year. They are like when somebody wants to build a replica car, but don't have any of the construction plans. Like a snow pulling shopping carts with little rear wing to can grab and pull, and HUGE front wing to can pull in snow, too. I hope that they would be better than their look. Here are:

BMW F1.09

Williams FW31

Renault R29

Toyota TF109

McLaren MP4-24

Ferrari F60

"Everything is useful"

I selected some files to delete them in a .zip archive:

It says "There's nothing to do." (OK)

The screenshot is original, the situation is real, the presentation is queer.

The DVD of our trip to Kőszeg is done, this is the cover (in low resolution):

School sparestamps

People, who remember this?:

Once upon a time we spared money like this in the elementary school's lower grades. We could buy stamps from teachers for little money (that seemed much much more for us then), then placed them in a collector. So we didn't buy any school milk, or anything else, we coul spare that money for better days. I remember that there wasn't cafetheria in the school then, only later. It seems I can't get my 100HUF since then. :)


Here you are, low grade school money saving a'la '80s.

We are in

... the Orca magazine, again.
Download it, watch it, and be proud of us!

First time out

We are issued.
We are in the fresh issue of Orca Magazine with my pal Gr4ss.
Yippi!

Zoom-zoom

My friend Anti works for Mazda, where they introduced the new Mazda 6 in an open weekend. Today he brought the beauty back to the Mazda headquarters in Budapest, and I came with him. What can I say, it's very different after Lada... OK, don't draw parallels... :D
The point is that everything is in its place in it. 10/10

"Clear night!"

I just arrived from Újudvar, I was at the TV tower with my brother in law Gr4ss. We were up at the TV tower for gazing to the stars, and to photographing. The people of the towns can't imagine that you can see much more stars far from the town. And there are just few who go away from the town to see for themselves. The loneliness, the silece (interrupted by owls) and the darkness make own special atmosphere.

Try it, it worths it!

Lunar eclipse

I confess that this dawn I hesitated about to go to photographing the lunar eclipse. Then I decided that yes. I prepaired for that, there wasn't long distance to go, (and I mentioned to lot of people) so I went down to the street.
Well, lunar eclipse for you (and for me).

Welcome home!

NRO-L21,the satellite that will be shot down

A US spy satellite went out of order after its launch in 2006, and it is uncontrolled since that. The upper atmosphere makes drag effect, too, the satellite slowes down, and it can't stay on its track anymore. In this case they ignite the engine, boost it until it continues its way.
Now all of these are impossible, the L21 began unavoidable falling. When a minibus sized thing fall onto your head then it really ruins your day, and because of this the smarts decided to shoot it down. Maybe the smaller pieces will burn in the atmosphere, and won't fall on us in 100 pieces.
The russians see again that it is a final test of a newly developed rocket that is able to shoot down satellites.

Maybe. Maybe not.
Anyway, we went down to the back of our house to see the machine until we can see it. The result is up there as a 8 second picture.

No,I don't skip it

Introducing the Force India F1 team (ex-Spyker F1, Midland F1 before it, and Jordan before it), and their car VJM01. The team will recieve high attention from me because my favourite pilot drives for them. The car is (poorly) uniform- white, it would be better look with more gold, and dark silver. The front wing is the widely used Renault-wing, the other parts came from the last year Spyker car. The engine is Ferrari in this year, too, and they say that there's potential in the team.
I can say only: FORZA FISICO!

five minutes astronomy

I don't have to go to work today, at last, so I picked my photocam up with the tripod, and I went down to the next of the house to shoot some astronomy photos. There will be needed to change some settings, but I could take some interesting pictures for the first time, too.

Here:

New morning with new eye

That's all, briefly... :D

R28 - Boring

The usual car with the usual ING outfit at the team that is about the money, and the as called "heroes" this year. Where the "Team Spirit" is in this year that is another cake.
Hissy begins!

RA108 - looks goood

                                          (Picture: www.hondaracingf1.com)

Here's the Honda's newest creation, the RA108. And takes the title of the best looking car this year at me. I like the more grren, I don't like the uniform white that is at the most teams. But after all it is the best looking until now. And the Honda keeps running the myearthdream campaign (this is a plus at me, again).

Don't forget...

There wasn't big introduction ceremony, but the Red Bull RB4 is on the track.
Gives you wings...
