Virgin Galactic’s VSS Enterprise’s First Flight

2010-03-22T13:12:00.000-07:00

Monday 22nd March, 2010

The spaceship was unveiled to the public for the first time on December 7th 2009 and named by Governors Schwarzenegger and Richardson. VSS Enterprise remained attached to its unique WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft, VMS Eve, for the duration of the 2 hours 54 minutes flight, achieving an altitude of 45,000ft (13716 metres).

Both vehicles are being developed for Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, by Mojave based Scaled Composites. Founded by Burt Rutan, Scaled developed SpaceShipOne which in 2004 claimed the $10m Ansari X prize as the world’s first privately developed manned spacecraft. Virgin Galactic’s new vehicles share much of the same basic design but are being built to carry six fare paying passengers on sub-orbital space flights, allowing an out-of-the-seat zero gravity experience and offering astounding views of the planet from the black sky of space.

Virgin Galactic has already taken around $45m in deposits for spaceflight reservations from over 330 people wanting to experience space for themselves.

The first flight of VMS Enterprise is another major milestone in an exhaustive flight testing programme, which started with the inaugural flight of VMS Eve in 2008 and is at the heart of Virgin Galactic’s commitment to safety.

Commenting on the historic flight, Burt Rutan said: “This is a momentous day for the Scaled and Virgin Teams. The captive carry flight signifies the start of what we believe will be extremely exciting and successful spaceship flight test program.”

Sir Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin Galactic added: “Seeing the finished spaceship in December was a major day for us but watching VSS Enterprise fly for the first time really brings home what beautiful, ground-breaking vehicles Burt and his team have developed for us. It comes as no surprise that the flight went so well; the Scaled team is uniquely qualified to bring this important and incredible dream to reality. Today was another major step along that road and a testament to US engineering and innovation.”

The VSS Enterprise test flight programme will continue though 2010 and 2011, progressing from captive carry to independent glide and then powered flight, prior to the start of commercial operations.

The Art of Chase

2010-01-25T15:58:00.000-08:00

As a belgian artist living in L.A., it is a must for me to write about CHASE, an other belgian artist living in L.A. He is really inspiring and the MenMajor / Men Magazine will have him soon on Interview.

Chase, artist/designer and Belgium transplant now living in Los Angeles, paints free murals around the world depicting young children with the text next to them saying: “Remember Who You Are”. The intent behind the mural campaign is to inspire people to think back and reconnect with a state of being that we all enjoyed when we were children, a state of being that was filled with joy, truth, love and wonder for the world around us. Furthermore, the “Remember Who You Are” campaign also reminds us that we should always remember who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

Some of Chase’s past clients include Puma, Adidas, Levi’s, Scion, Acura, Hot Kiss, Bloomingdale’s, GenArt, Palmer Snowboards and Western Union.

Chase is having an Art exhibition in L.A.:

"Love Made Visible" CHASE Solo Art Show.

From January 16, 2010 to February 20th, 2010.

“Love Made Visible” is a visual experience inspired by philosophy, self empowerment and a sense of wonder for the world around us. A direct extension of the artist’s work in the street, the exhibit features spray painted wood collages, original paintings, serigraphs, sculpture and film. "

Hermes for Men

2010-01-20T22:38:00.000-08:00

Hermes is the great messenger of the gods to humans in Greek mythology as well as a guide to the Underworld. He protects and takes care of all the travelers, of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics, of invention and of general commerce.

The Odyssey

In book 5, Hermes is sent to demand from Calypso Odysseus's release from the island of Ogygia; in book 10, he protects Odysseus from Circe by bestowing upon him a herb, moly, which protects him from her soporific spell. Hermes also appears in book 24, where he plays the role of psychopomp and leads the freshly slain suitors and disloyal maids to the underworld. Odysseus, the main character of the Odyssey, is of matrilineal descent from Hermes.

You are a man for Hermes...

On Tuesday February 9, 2010, Hermès will celebrate the opening of its first men's store entirely dedicated to men’s ready to wear, accessories and art of living. Located at 690 Madison Avenue in New York, it stands directly across the street from the U.S. flagship store.

Major Odysseus

2010-01-15T14:16:00.000-08:00

Welcome in your Odyssey, I am Major Odysseus the 8th. I am representing the Human king from the 25th century. Also, I am a citizen of the “earth” of the 7th parallel world which dwells in the 7th milky way and which they name “Terra Incognita”. After many researches, we found the ability to travel with the mnesic and inferential principle through the memory’s gates times and spaces.

These passages lodge within the crowds connection. Among them, sensitivities and particular memories are increased and by inferring with these last ones, we are able to explore parallels worlds and times.

These particular memories are included in some persons who are exiled from their own sphere and have forgotten their source. They wander on the “earths” looking for an intuition and a specific fragrance which will help them to answer to their eternal question one day. Who are they? Where are they from? And what is the meaning of their life?

NIXON: Between space and Time

2010-01-15T00:30:00.000-08:00

It is well known that the space/time continuum is curved. The curvature occurs as a result of the influence of mass against movement in time. Recently, it has been possible to detect this curvature. As three-dimensional beings, we perceive time only as a result of memory. We remember what was as a variable interval from what is now. If we had zero memory, we could not detect time - we would exist only for the moment....
