2015 A great Year.
A British man in Space, the July Pluto flyby, Pictures from a Comet and Mars seen from three views. Most people don't even bother looking up at the sky, day or night. Sometimes its the occasional drunk who claims to have seen more than one Moon!
But for may others it is the closet that we will perhaps for some time yet get into space? Just a pair of Binoculars and you open your eyes to see ponderous things, from nearby planets to distant stars and galaxies.
One may also see the International Space Station and other man made objects. The Moon is the nearest object to view, we only see one side of it because it does not rotate. Venus and Mars are next, followed by the gas giants, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Other wise we can visit the Indian, European, Russian and NASA websites to see the feast of what these many robotic craft are doing in space and on Mars.

Segways.
The Two wheel Wonder.
The Segway is taking the world by suprise from the streets of the Czech Republic captial Prague to Thailands Bankok International airport. But many are now wondering how safe are these gyrocope controlled vehicles?
The Segway is perhaps the most prolific developmnet to compare to the invention of the bicyle, but it remains not as good and versatile as the bike. No seat and it is limited to short distant travel and depends very much on human balance technique.
With the further development of solar panels and digital guidance and stability platforms the Segway will perhaps have a further inpact, but it will in no way surpass the bicyle!

ICBM. Part-Two.
Ticket to Atomic weapons and Space.
Many new nations are now reaching for Space and it has been their own developments of the old Soviet Scud missiles, which is turn were a development of the Nazi-German V-2 rocket.
Iran is developing its own nuclear industry and a overshot of that is the probability of a nuclear bomb, which is worrying to the Persian Gulf nations.
You need power to get just into Space, and more power to stay up there or move on to the Moon and the other planets.
The technology has not changed much since 1957 in the basics of rocketry, the flight control systems may be advanced in computers and in sample gathering robotics and digital photography
