A rocket engine is a reaction engine that can be used for spacecraft propulsion as well as terrestrial uses, such as missiles. Rocket engines take their reaction mass from within the vehicle and form it into a high speed jet, obtaining thrust in accordance with Newton's third law. Most rocket engines are internal combustion engines, although non combusting forms exist. Classic rocket engines produce a high temperature, hypersonic gaseous exhaust. This is most often achieved by the combustion of solid, liquid or gaseous propellant, containing oxidiser and a fuel, within a combustion chamber at high pressure. Alternatively, a chemically inert reaction mass can be heated to high temperature using a...

I propose "Project CBBD", The Comet Bunker Buster Defense Project to protect the Earth from a Comet Strike of Pre-Biblical Proportions. Another strike of the Earth like the one before human time, which hit in the Yucatan Peninsula would spell the end of life, as we know it. Some Theorize that such an event may have been responsible for causing the changes in the Earth Cycle, which killed off the dinosaurs. Today we have launched a probe to meet up with and attack a Comet and put a huge crater in it. The crater will assist us in studying the Comet's material make-up, now then how about destroying the Comet that is waiting to hit us or on a cataclysmic direct collision course with Mother Earth? We...

Are you looking for some topics to present that can add excitement to your science classroom? Rocketry and space exploration, like no other subject, have a way to captivate students that makes it easy for them to learn science. They are having so much fun, that they don't even realize they are learning basic science concepts.To leverage the benefits of this area of study, you can use your school's computer to explore a lot of different science topics. In the January 2005 issue of the education magazine, "Tech Directions" ( there is an article by Spencer C. Wilson of J.R. Fugett Middle School in West Chester. In it, he describes how he uses a rocket design software, called...

After a 41-41 season in Phoenix in 1996, the struggling team was again traded, this time to the Houston Rockets. As a player here, Barkley had back injuries, causing his decision to retire in 2000. During this final season, after playing nineteen games, he tore his left quadriceps tendon completely away from his kneecap (December 8, 1999). Though doctors told him he would never play basketball again, he made a comeback a little over four months later for a single game, scoring one basket in April of 2000, then immediately retiring.Barkley was a household name and one of the limited number of NBA players to earn a figure in the Starting Lineup toy line, as well as earning his own shoe line created...

Having built hundreds of mobile wash rigs in my life I can tell that even though it may not look like rocket science well, it sure feels like it. There are thousands of things, which can go wrong and anyone of them can cost you a days pay. Why did our company build so many wash rigs you ask? Well we are the only mobile car wash, pressure washing, truck washing, auto detailing franchise in the United States and we had to build them to service demand...

The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is India's largest launch vehicle, intended to eventually launch INSAT type communication satellites, to make India less dependent on foreign rockets for INSAT launches, Till now all the INSATs have been launched using foreign launch facilities at exorbitant costs. Once GSLV become operational, India will have total control over its INSAT program.The GSLV is a three stage rocket, the first stage of which uses solid propellant motor and second stage uses a liquid propellant motor. It also uses four liquid strap on boosters and cryogenic third stage. The solid first and liquid second stages of GSLV are carried over from the PSLV.The GSLV is designed...

Depending upon where you live the idea of a convertible may be one that is always on your mind or one that is never thought of. Living in Florida we have many days when a convertible is highly desirable, especially in the spring and fall when temperatures are really comfortable. On the other hand if you live in Alaska or Northern Maine you wouldn't get a whole lot of use out of one, maybe a couple of months out of the year at best.A convertible very image that we see in our mind when we think of sports cars, they just go together. Whether or not it is practical for us to own one is another question. There are a lot of factors to consider in order to be able to make a decision if you would be happy...

The following anomaly took place at the Governor's Manison in Tallahassee when Governor Bush was screening "Dr. Strangelove" for General Turgidson. The exchange may be due in part to the fact that Governor Bush was breathing through an inhaler at the time.Governor Bush (muffled) I keep telling you, General Turgidson, I'm not the President.Gen. Turgidson I'm sorry, sir, it's just that you exude so much authority I keep forgetting you're his kid brother.Governor Bush (muffled) Stop trying to kiss up and get to the point.Gen. Turgidson Well, Governor, it looks like the Ruskies aren't the ones we have to worry about getting civilians into space first on regularly scheduled commercial flights...

Houston and Oklahoma City have mediocre records and came with losing tendencies. The Hornets came in having lost 7 of their last 10 but were at least healthy. To this point the Rockets have been scathed by injuries. But even without an injured Yao Ming, this game came down to the Final seconds...

Basketball handicapping is not a weekly venture. It's not something you start Sunday night, then map out point spreads and potential situations during the week, picking the majority of games you want to wager on a week in advance. It's a daily ritual, because things happen on a daily, even hourly, basis that can affect potential wagering spots.Take a look at the Houston Rockets. On paper in preseason, this was a team that looked pretty good, a young club on the rise. However, star Tracy McGrady didn't see much time during the exhibition season because of injuries. And it's only gotten worse now that the real games have begun. McGrady has missed several games with a back problem, and guard Rafar...

What are your dreams? Are you in a place in your life where part of it feels limited or exhausting? If so, it is the time for you to begin manifesting your dreams and desires. First of all you must remember that Miracles do happen and that it is time to reach for the top. Not to order from the bottom of the list, but to ask for what it is that you really desire. Go for the top. Go for the limitlessness. Show your fellow beings that through the process of releasing limited thoughts your cup is filled with the opportunities that the universe wants to bring to you. By daring to do this, you are teaching what you know. You have taken the courage to release. Now you must take the even greater courage to...

A Cautionary Tale for the Internet Marketing NewbieIn an attempt to set up our Internet marketing web sites, we've probably all done some brainless things. Well, I've done all of them. I've been so incredibly gullible, my pocketbook is empty and I'm sure I've contributed many a laugh to the Internet "experts." Since I've done just about everything wrong, I want to share my story with other newbies who are looking for a fast way to get RICH with a web site.Rich. Ha!

In Monday's NBA, the 76ers went over 15 minutes without a FG (0-for-19) in the second half and lost to Houston, 87-81. The Rockets are now 13-6 when both Ming and McGrady are in the lineup and could make a late-season run at the playoffs. New Jersey won its 11th straight home game (8-3 ATS) by beating the Hornets 99-91 and the Bobcats made it two straight wins (following 13 straight losses!), in a 119-106 win over the Sonics. Golden State beat Denver 122-114, giving the Warriors their sixth straight pointspread win and handing the Nuggets their eighth straight ATS loss!My free play is in college hoops, Virginia over Maryland at 7:00 ET.

Has NASA, the monolithic space agency, failed in it's quest to put man out into the cosmos? Will profit coupled with man's need to explore be the driving engine which sends man into the cosmos? Think about what has moved technology forward within the American society over the past 100 years or so. Was Orville and Wilbur Wright employed by the government. Of course not. Most of their research and development for the invention of the airplane took place within a small bike shop in western Dayton, Ohio, the birth place of aviation. Thomas Edison, who is accredited with 1,093 patents earning him the nickname "The Wizard of Menlo Park" used his own money to build the Menlo Park research labs in New...

When a person thinks of cork, they may think of a variety of things. Some people may think of the material used for bulletin boards, while some may think of material used for coasters. Others, thoroughly confused, may simply think of cork as the other white meat. Chances are, however, when most people think of cork, they think of wine. Part of each others' lives, the two are nearly inseparable, especially without a wine opener. What is Cork? It would be easy to define a cork with a simple, unrefined answer. We could say that cork is a lightweight, inert substance providing blockage of liquids and leave it at that. But, because cork is an elemental part of wine, it is bestowed with certain...

Well, with the success of my article, "Wrinkle Remover That WORKS!!", I realize that there is a really strong interest in getting information that is going to do something for you, rather than generalities that come under the "same old thing" category. And, as you know if you read the article, we found a great and effective cream that does a knockout job of actually reducing wrinkles.Funny thing is that the product started out as a solution to a completely different problem (and they tell you all about that on the web link I mentioned in the article), which is kind of like the situation of the equestrian horse product, a coat conditioner, that was flying off the shelves and it took an incredulous...

What makes two people incompatible? How do you recognize the elements of incompatibility?Many lucky relationships take off like a rocket and, in spite of occasional ups and downs, last a lifetime. However, a great number of relationships don't fare so well. Why? What makes two people incompatible? How do you recognize the elements of incompatibility? And how do you avoid getting entangled in a no-win situation?These and other such crucial questions will not be answered in this article. Mainly, because of space problems. Secondly, because I haven't the faintest idea what the answers are. If I did, I'd buy a big couch, a good clock, and bill clients by the nanoseconds.But analyzing a few case...

Sunday (11/20) Best: Rockets @ Pacers: At 3-6, Houston really needs the tough win in Indiana. It doesn't matter how shallow the West is, last place is bad to be in. Yao Ming gets in foul trouble often, and you can put him down for a disqualification up against Jermaine O'neal. McGrady won't show up in the 4th quarter every time; he's got to contribute early and have a big first half. Runnner-up: Grizzlies @ Nuggets: Memphis has looked increasingly more impressive with each game. Denver has looked good sporadically with injuries to Boozer, Nene and coach George Karl hurting them. Tough to say whom the favorite should be. Whoever of Gasol and Anthony steps up more will lead their team to victory...

Admit it, the first thing you did when the 2004-05 NBA schedule came out last week was check to see when Shaq and the Miami Heat would visit Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. It probably didn't take long to find that game, though, as we all know the NBA marketing machine would slate it for big time ratings on X-Mas day. Kobe and Shaq won't be the only hyped-up, intriguing match-up of the season, though, that's for sure. With such an active off-season, the 2004-05 season is sure to be loaded with must-see games.

For years scientists have been telling us how the universe began. Do we really know? Or do we need another six billions years to figure it out?To date, our space explorations, manned and unmanned, have uncovered a world of intriguing, perplexing, puzzling, fascinating, and even awe-inspiring phenomena. Whether we understand it or not, the universe we live in seems to be a highly organized system or set of smaller systems functioning in harmony. All of its components work within a framework of very structured, precise, and clearly defined laws of nature. If this were not so, the universe could not possibly have survived in its present state of complexity for any long period of time, certainly not for...

Targeted traffic: the demographicAssuming your business is motorcycles, my first guess at your target demographic would be 16-25 year old males and 50+ year old wealthy retired couples. Breaking it down further, if you sell Suzuki crotch rockets, you can safely discard the wealthy retired group. Narrow the demographic as best you can to target potential customers. Paying for traffic that isn't dense with people interested in what you're selling is a waste of your advertising dollar.Once the demographic is well defined, you can begin identifying and sorting out perspective advertisers. Determining whether a particular advertiser or marketing group is going to work for you can be rather difficult...
