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.

Discussion Qustions

1. I selected the sites that I have subscribed to because they are the easiest to subscribe to and in my opinion the best sites for the topics. 
2. It was not easy to find feed and subscribe to them because they really hide them in places we do not look very much.
3. My favorite sites were of course my personal sites as in ESPN or the Knicks news websites.
4. You can use RSS feeds for connecting to peoples opinions and expanding it to more and more people.
5. I am not very likely to use RSS feeds in the future unless I am in this class another year in high school.

Manta Resort Sleep Beneath The Waves

The tropical Pemba Island in Zanzibar. They have just unveiled their underwater room. It is a bedroom where you can sleep below the waves of the beautiful water. This is a three floor suite that floats beside a coral reef. The underwater bedroom has windows for walls so visitors can see the ocean for there own bedroom. The top two floors are made of hardwood. The sea level floor has a lounging area, a dining room, and a bathroom. If I ever got the chance to go here I would. 

CONTRIBUTING GOOD

                    The thing that ignites my desire to help this world a better place is when I see or hear about another person doing good for their community or the world. That is what drives me to help when one person or a group of people do something good because then I feel that I can do something similar to that. My life goals could be about helping the community as in for example the community service for my school. It is not a life goal but it is definitely something that is good to help other people. It can be from shoveling an elderly persons driveway to running  food drive for the homeless.
