quote [ We are a group of MIT students seeking to share the artistic aspects of science with others. On Sept. 2, 2009, we launched a digital camera into near-space to take photographs of the earth from high up above. ]
Regardless of application, it's cool to see previously over-priced technology becoming more accessable to the average schlep with a brainwave or 2.....Or MIT grad students with a hundred and fourty-eight bucks to spare. Mouthwatering isopods, Swayze-Ticks and 'mobile phone radiation ratings' in extended.
Project Icarus flight pictures and related project links:

"While the isopod, a kind of louse, has been known to exist for a while now, discoveries of live specimens is rare." Regardless, the article is about a new REGIONAL discovery (outside Mediterranean waters) 'species' discovery....and it's ful-on FUBAR. |
