World's fastest RC aircraft hits a stunning 548 mph – without a motor

No props, no jets, no rockets – California's Spencer Lisenby just broke the world speed record for remote controlled aircraft, taking an unpowered RC glider transonic at 548 mph (882 km/h) using nothing but the wind. Well, that and an incredible degree of skill in a highly dangerous technique…

Target joins other retailers in dropping Chaokoh coconut products over forced monkey labor allegations (nbcnews.com)

Target is a large US-based retailer, competing with the likes of Walmart. Embarrassing, right?

venustus: I'm in awe of the technology that enables us to view an alien landscape but also can't help but resent the heck out of humans' capability to pollute yet another pure environment with its "toys."

The effects looks cool but weird. All those tanks (T34s and German Tigers/Panthers/Panzer III & IVs) had APHE/APCBC (also APCR but not the preferred or easily available ammo) with HE fillers meaning they would explode after going through some armor (depending on the fuse sensitivity) and then explode. Some tanks even had about 500g TNT equivalent of HE fillers inside the AP shells. Also why it looks like an HEAT round, which actually penetrates by the effect of melted copper going through armor.

My biggest concern is the RTG power source on the rover....
