Smile: The First Six-Astronaut Crew Ever at the ISS [Space]

Smile: The First Six-Astronaut Crew Ever at the ISS [Space]

Right now, orbiting at 250 miles above Earth's surface, we have a permanent crew of six astronauts at the International Space Station , a first in the history of space exploration. Both the Russian MIR and United States' Skylab had a permanent crew of three. The International Space Station also had three astronauts until last Friday, when ESA astronaut Frank De Winne, Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk arrived onboard the Soyuz TMA-15. Together with the other three existing members, they have become the Expedition 20 mission crew, the first 6-member resident crew ever in a orbital outpost. [ Hyperbola ] [...more]

The Fallen, Of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Fame, Revealed In Full [Transformers]

The Fallen, Of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Fame, Revealed In Full [Transformers]

From the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen we've seen the new Devastator robot, Megan Fox disrobing , and various trailers . But what about, you know, the Fallen? Well, this image is him. Admittedly, this is not as cool as a trailer. And it certainly doesn't elicit the tingling sensation Megan Fox gives you when she fixes an engine or graces the cover of Esquire. But it's apparently a first look, procured by MTV to promote this evening's MTV Movie Awards, and the thing looks legitimately bad ass (is that an Egyptian style headdress going on up in there?). And it looks slightly different too, right? Shia LeBeouf explains: Basically, the Fallen is to them what cavemen, Neanderthals were to us. He's the ancestor, the first version of this exoskeleton. He's the first version of this sentient being. That's what he is. He's the origins of what they came from. He also says the Megatron answers to the fallen thanks to a sort of "Emperor and Darth Vader ... kind of situation." So long as we're talking Emperor-Vader from the Return of the Jedi , and not that "Noooo!!!" abomination at the end of Revenge of the Sith , that sounds cool enough.
