China's Chang'e-3 lunar probe has entered orbit

Chang'e-3 lunar probe

China's Space Station has announced that the new Chinese space probe the Chang'e-3 has just entered orbit. The probe's variable thrust engine, which can supply from 1,500 to 7,500 newtons of thrust, fired for a total of 361 seconds to complete the lunar insertion maneuver. Over the next week the probe will stay in orbit to prepare systems for the landing in Sinus, Iridum on the 14th of December. This is very important for China because this is the nations first experience with a spacecraft in orbit. This will be just the start of China's exploration in space.

Flying Robots For Christmas


Just before Christmas a new flying toy is coming to stores. Any size robots from little bots to full scale planes will be under the Christmas tree this year. These flying toys are coming to Toy's R US and Uk's Toy Retailers Association. They have light and cheap motors which allows for faster flying and longer lasting flying as well. I personally do not want these things to go to stores because they can be very dangerous for younger kids to handle. For more information click here.

Do Now 12/3

Twitter can be used education wise because if students in the class set up one hashtag everyone could post to it and provide information that could help other people. Also if classmates are doing a group project they can go and provide information for eachother there instaed of using google docs pr microsoft office. I personaly like the idea of using social media sites for education and I think that there will be more sites like Twitter that can do this. Twitter is the first step of revolutionary education.
