In about 90 minutes, the spacecraft performs a turn to position its heat shield facing the atmosphere. This will not only prepare for entry but also the jettison of the no-longer-needed cruise stage. Separation between the cruise stage and the descent module is expected around 11:44 p.m. EST.

BoingBoing buddy John Parres says:

The Mars rover Opportunity has arrived at "Endurance Crater" revealing a variety of strata and rock formations and intriguing sand/salt formations at the bottom. At issue now is not whether Opportunity can roll in but whether she can climb back out for further investigations.

The Space.com bulletin boards are giddy at the possibility of investigating 'water seeps' One poster is reporting that a lead JPL scientists is predicting that Opportunity might last another six months. Another suggests that "the plan for Opprtunity is to head South/South West after it's done with Endurance Crater. The objective being the white area which would be an ideal area to look for fossils. If the rover can last as long as hoped though that puts some of the much larger craters within reach too!"

And we thought it was just a load of Soviet propaganda: Buran was pretty sweet Well, no doubt a little bit of industrial espionage helped them in its design, but the Soviet Buran really was an impressive technological achievement and in many ways superior to the United States space shuttle. Of particular interest is the impressive technology the Soviet's developed for heavy-lift boosters. Does anyone know what's become of any of this, or know of any other interesting bits of Soviet -v- American space race trivia? This stuff always fascinates me.

Hurrah!  Privately funded by Paul Allen, designed by Burt Rutan, and piloted by Mike Melvill, a 62 year-old test pilot who is now an astronaut, SpaceShipOne successfully reached space and returned safely this morning, the very first manned private spaceflight in history.  Awesome.  With all the doom and gloom these days, it's nice to have something to smile about.

Canon Announces the XL2

Canon Announces the XL2 07/13/2004 12:11 PM

The waiting is over for the prosumer mini-DV world as Canon (finally) releases the XL2, the follow-up to the wildly successful (some would say ground-breaking) XL1S. With both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios (film-like and TV-like, respectively), variable frame rates (again, to more closely emulate film or TV), interchangeable lens (the same as the XL1S had, including a new 20x optical zoom lens), and more, all wrapped around a 3 CCD system for maximum image, you know, fantasticness.

More after the jump.

Canon A85 4-Megapixel

Canon A85 4-Megapixel 07/20/2004 09:47 AM

Canon has released an updated PowerShot, bumping the A70 to the new A85, a 4-megapixel/3x optical zoom sidearm that also adds PictBridge comparability (for easy one-button transfer direct from camera to printer or portable hard drive). The A85 also ships with a 32MB Compact Flash card, which is a nice step up from the usual 16MB card most cameras are bundled with. It's about time we start seeing even low-end cameras with 32- or even 64-meg flash memory cards right out of the box.

Also, coffee at 5PM can not be mitigated with bourbon at 11PM. Good morning!

Canon i9900

Canon i9900 12/22/2004 01:39 AM
Weā€™ve spent quite a few bucks this last couple of years with one photo-finisher or another, and recently Laurenā€™s been cooking up business ideas around photography. So she went out and got a Canon i9900 and I got my hands on it first; wow! Itā€™ll probably end up plugged into one of the fixed machines but we didnā€™t have the right cable, so I FireWired it into my Mac (grr, had to reboot to install the driver) and ran one or two of my favorite prints at 300dpi and well, my goodness gracious, they look just like what comes back from the online print service, only better. Iā€™m sure that a fine professional photo-finisher who puts their soul into their work can do better, but thatā€™s not what Iā€™m getting when I upload my JPEGs to one mass-market printshop or another. And thereā€™s lots of playing-around to do with DPI and paper finishes and colour spaces and so on. I assume that, things being what they are, the competition is about as good too, which is very good indeed.

Canon Powershot 520

Canon Powershot 520 02/01/2005 09:08 PM

Canon continues to flesh out its popular Powershot A Series of consumer cameras with the Powershot A520, a four-megapixel snapper with a 4x optical zoom. With an estimated price of $300—and a street price probably far below that—the 520 continues Canon's line of high-quality, easy-to-use cameras that don't take a lot of savvy to manage. Seriously, cheap memory card format (MMC/SD), common battery type (AA), and really nice quality images—what's not to like?

The 520 is the follow-up to the Powershot 510, which was just announced a week or two back.

Sheila and I got back last night from a four-day weekend in Las Vegas. We went with some family and friends, stayed at the Paris hotel, had a wonderful time.

Right before we left, we noted the announcement of PulpFictio n. You know what? It looks pretty good.

Only a masochist craves competition—but quality competition is a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

At any rate, it’s probably a good idea if I talk more about what’s coming in the next release of NetNewsWire. Which I’ll do, in a follow-up post.

The shutter speed and Flash X-Sync are actually a little slower, but in all it looks like a great camera made even more better greater.
