STAND UP (COMEDY) SKYDIVING- Episode 2: into the clouds

Pittsburgh Comedian, Brad Ryan skydives from 10500 feet into clouds and attempts to do some of his comedy material on the canopy ride down. This episode not as successful as the first. BUT THE CLOUDS WERE AWESOME. My 'comedy performance' was lacking and sketchy; but i was too keyed up and adrenalized after the freefall. This episode didn't turn out to well other than the jump footage. I wasnt pleased with the flow of the jokes. This ventue is much more difficult and challenging than I wouldve imagined. It is quite a task to try and present material and make it flow smoothly and fluently while flying and landing a parachute. No audience also complicates the delivering of material. The constant need to be aware of the area and steering and navigating my way to a good landing at the jump zone really is harder than I'dve thought. Conditions that day complicated things by necessitating more focus on the landing and the "COMEDY" part of the video was ended prematurely and just quite didn't work like the shoot of the first episode. Better set next time.

X-15 Record Breaker Update

Three X-15s made 199 flights during a research program which lasted from 1960 through 1968. It was a daring, yet highly successful program that resulted in hundreds of technical reports. It made contributions to the NASA space program of the 1960s and also on the design and flight of the Space Shuttle many years later. An unofficial motto of flight research of the 1940s and 1950s was "higher and faster." By the late 1950s the last frontier of that goal was hypersonic flight (Mach 5+) to the edge of space. It would require a huge leap in aeronautical technology, life support systems and flight planning. The North American X-15 rocket plane was built to meet that challenge. It was designed to fly at speeds up to Mach 6, and altitudes up to 250000 ft. The aircraft went on to reach a maximum speed of Mach 6.7 and a maximum altitude of 354200 ft. Looking at it another way, Mach 6 is about one mile per second, and flight above 264000 ft. qualifies an Air Force pilot for astronaut wings. The plane was air launched by NASA's converted B-52 at 45000 feet and a speed of 500 mph. Generally there were two types of flight profiles: high-speed, or high-altitude. High-speed flights were usually done below an altitude of 100000 feet and flown as a conventional airplane using aerodynamic controls. High-altitude flights began with a steep, full-power climb to leave the atmosphere, followed by up to two minutes of "coasting up" to the peak altitude after the engine was shut down ...

This Week @ NASA 02-17-09

SHUTTLE UPDATE KSC Technicians at the Kennedy Space Center continue pre-launch preparations on space shuttle Discovery. STS-119 is slated to begin no earlier than February 27 with an early morning liftoff. Commander Lee Archambaults crew will help finish construction of the International Space Stations structural backbone. Among the 119 crew is Mission Specialist John Phillips, wholl make his first return to the ISS since spending six months there in 2005 as a member of the Expedition 11 crew. John Phillips: "The station is way bigger. Its much more capable and to me itll be very exciting. Itll be like visiting a new place in a way and yet, at the same time, therell be some places that are very old and comforting to me, that Ive seen before." SGR J1550-5418 - GSFC Astronomers using NASA's Swift satellite and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are seeing frequent blasts from a rare, spinning neutron star 30000 light-years away. SGR J1550-5418, as its officially catalogued, is actually the superdense, city-sized, remains of an exploded star called a soft-gamma-ray repeater. Over the past two years, astronomers have tracked it randomly emitting a series of X-ray and gamma-ray flares. This repeater, only the sixth known to exist, lies in the southern constellation, Norma; it should help scientists understand how energy is unleashed by a neutron stars intense magnetic field, or magnetar.

STS-92 Discovery Ferry Flight Leaving Dryden

This 45 second movie clip shows the 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft with Discovery attached rolling down the runway, lifting off, retracting its gear, and climbing out. During 1977 the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, hosted the Approach and Landing Tests for the space shuttle prototype Enterprise. Since the shuttles would land initially on Rogers Dry Lakebed adjacent to Dryden on Edwards Air Force Base, NASA had already modified a Boeing 747 to carry them back to their launch site at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Computer calculations and simulations had predicted the mated shuttle and 747 could fly together safely, but NASA wanted to verify that prediction in a controlled flight-test environment before the shuttles went into operation. The agency also wanted to glide test the orbiter to ensure it could land safely before sending it into space with human beings aboard. NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, developed a three-phase test program. First, an unpiloted-captive phase tested the shuttle/747 combination without a crew on the Enterprise in case of a problem that required jettisoning the prototype. There were three taxi tests and five flight tests without a crew in the shuttle. That phase ended on March 2, 1977. The second or captive-active phase-completed on July 26, 1977, flew the orbiter mated to the 747 with a two-person crew inside. Finally there were five flights-completed on October 26, 1977, in which the orbiter separated from ...

STS-1 25th Anniversary

This is one of those projects that broadcast designers dream of... big.... important.... and a long deadline. On April 12, 2006 NASA celebrated the 25th Anniversary of STS-1, the first space shuttle flight. In January 2006 I was given the task of creating a dramatic piece that would highlight aspects of the space shuttle program.... Design, Training, John Young (commander), Bob Crippen (pilot)), The Flight, and Legacy. In addition to being shown on NASA Television on April 12th, to commemorate the shuttle's anniversary, it was later to be shown on the IMAX screen at the National Air and Space Museum. So from the get go I had to create something dramatic, and incorporate a "wow" factor into my design. The piece was to be called STS-1 The Boldest Test Flight in History. Given that this was the first space shuttle ever designed, I took the "design" aspect and created a blue print pattern for the background. I also wanted to create a world in which the viewer moves from subject to subject. Since the work would eventually be viewed on a screen 5 stories high... I wanted a real sense of movement in the animation... part animation... part thrill ride. The camera follows a line from the main title and moves to a subject title.... and then once a video on that subject is seen, moves on to the next. I have always loved Adobe After Effects, and wanted to use its 3D camera... this project was the perfect vehicle for that. The piece opens with the shuttle on the pad and go through a ...
