Flying Cars Could Be a Reality in Two Years

VOA News

October 18, 2013

Tired of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic?

In just two years, a company called Terrafugia says it will offer

flying cars for sale.

The company plans production of two "roadable" aircraft, the

Transition, which has folding wings and must be driven to an

airport for takeoff, and the TF-X, a car that could vertically

take off and land.

"The potential benefit to humanity of a practical flying car is

tremendous," says Terrafugia CEO Carl Dietrich. "The global

impact of widely distributed, practical, personal airborne

transportation has been estimated by the non-profit CAFE

Foundation at approximately $800 billion/year. NASA has estimated

it at $1 trillion/year. I believe it is impossible to quantify

the benefit to humanity."

The Transition, which is much further along in development than

the more conceptual TF-X, is expected to cost nearly $300,000,

but the company says there were already 100 pre-orders earlier

this year. The car uses the same engine for driving and flying,

and can be run on premium gasoline instead of much costlier

aviation fuel. On a full tank, the company says the plane has a

range of about 800 kilometers.

Owners will have to have a valid driver's license as well as a

sport pilot certification to operate the Transition.

Terrafugia says the Transition must meet the Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration as part of the automotive certification process.

Recent drive testing showed the craft is capable of stopping from

a speed of 120 kilometers per hour in a distance of only 34

meters, according to the company.

South African Scientists Claim Discovery of First Comet Strike

Anita Powell

October 21, 2013

JOHANNESBURG - South African researchers say they have found

conclusive evidence of earth's first-ever known comet strike,

about 28 million years ago. The researchers say this exciting

find in rural Egypt could unlock more secrets of the universe.

South African academics say the evidence they've found indicates

the comet hit the earth some 28 million years ago - in a desert

in western Egypt.

The bits of glassy black rock left at the scene - which

scientists say are comet fragments - could help unlock the

secrets of our universe. The academics presented their findings

at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg this

month.

Meteors and asteroids collide with this planet fairly frequently.

But a comet strike, said Professor David Block of the University

of the Witwatersrand, is unique and exciting.

"Because a comet is this dirty snowball of not only rock, but

rock mixed with ice. And the point is that atoms, life-giving

atoms of carbon, of oxygen, of nitrogen, of argon, of neon, of

krypton, are encoded within this little chemical factory from

beyond the solar system," said Block. "These are grains of cosmic

dust, which existed prior to our solar system forming. So they

contain unique secrets of the chemical compo [composition] of the

cloud of gas and dust, which collapsed to form our sun and the

planets around it."

Some scientists have theorized it may have been a comet strike

that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago - but there is no

evidence.

And, said Dr. Marco Andreoli, no one has seen a comet hit and

lived to tell about it because they tend to fry every living

thing in their path to ashes. He said, though, the evidence of

this comet strike is clear to him.

"We are looking at something of ... an astronomical phenomenon," he

said.

Geoscientist Jan Kramers from the University of Johannesburg said

that although the scientific community is divided on his team's

conclusions that the fragment is a comet, he himself is fairly

certain.

"... it's a probably a comet, because it can't be anything else,

coming from the outermost reaches in the solar system, traveling

in the gravity of the sun and hitting the Earth by chance. What

it did tells you something more," said Kramers. "What it did when

it hit the atmosphere, it exploded. And that is what comets do

when they hit the atmosphere. And this explosion produces an

incredible amount of heat, which can account for the Libyan

desert glass which we found in that region."

The researchers say they hope further study of this comet

fragments will help them figure out the beginnings of our

universe.

BlackBerry se niega a morir

Voz de América - Redacción

16.10.2013

El fabricante canadiense de teléfonos inteligentes BlackBerry

asegura que no desaparecerá, sino al contrario, se reinventan

para fortalecer su posición en el mercado.

"Puedes continuar contando con BlackBerry", fue el mensaje que

envió la compañía a sus consumidores, a través de una fuerte

campaña publicitaria en Estados Unidos.

"Disponemos de cantidades sustanciales de liquidez y de un

balance sin deuda", argumentó BlackBerry en su carta, recordando

que el grupo está en proceso de "reestructurarse con el objetivo

de disminuir en un 50% sus gastos con el fin de convertirse en

una organización muy eficaz".

BlackBerry todavía cuenta con 70 millones de usuarios en todo el

mundo, aunque la gran mayoría son clientes que utilizan modelos

viejos de sus teléfonos, sobre todo en países de Latinoamérica y

partes de Europa.

Su nueva plataforma operativa BlackBerry 10, no logró las ventas

esperadas, y la migración de sus usuarios a otras plataformas

como Android y iOS, parece imparable.

No obstante, BlackBerry anunció la presentación de nuevos

productos a principios del próximo año, y sus gerentes aseguraron

que a pesar de las millonarias pérdidas de la compañía, todavía

cuenta con $2.600 millones de dólares de liquidez, por lo que

están lejos de pensar en un cierre definitivo.
