Finding a good penis enlarger is not a difficult task now because there are several extenders are available in the market but finds a best as well as effective one is really a difficult task. So I recommend! Before adopting any male enhancement full knowledge is necessary about the treatment so check the reviews on the internet about several penis enlargement techniques.
Manned spaceship design unveiled
|
Russian firm RKK Energia has spent two years designing the vehicle |
The first official image of a Russian-European manned spacecraft has been unveiled.
It is designed to replace the Soyuz vehicle currently in use by Russia and will allow Europe to participate directly in crew transportation.
The reusable ship was conceived to carry four people towards the Moon, rivalling the US Ares/Orion system.
Unlike previous crewed vehicles, it will use thrusters to make a soft landing when it returns to Earth.
Russian aerospace writer and graphic designer Anatoly Zak has produced artist’s renderings of the new craft based on a design released by Russian manufacturer RKK Energia at the Farnborough Air Show in the UK last week.

In some respects, the capsule resembles America’s next-generation spacecraft Orion. The 18-to-20-tonne Russian-European vehicle is designed to carry six crew into low-Earth orbit and four on missions to lunar orbit.
One of the most unusual features about the capsule appear to be the thrusters and landing gear on its underside. Mr Zak said it would use these engines to soften its landing on Earth after the fiery re-entry through our atmosphere.
The European Space Agency (Esa) has been talking to its Russian counterpart Roscosmos about collaborating on the Crew Space Transportation System (CSTS) since 2006.
Launcher decision
“If Esa and the Russian Space Agency reach agreement, Europe will supply the service module of that co-operative spacecraft,” Mr Zak told.
This service module will use technology - such as the propulsion systems - developed for Europe’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), an unmanned freighter recently sent to re-supply the International Space Station (ISS).
Russia may provide the launcher for the new manned spacecraft. This might be an entirely new vehicle, or a modification of an existing rocket.

Thrusters would cushion the spacecraft’s landing |
Mr Zak said Russia was insisting in its negotiations with Europe that all future manned projects be based in Vostochny, the new cosmodrome being developed in Russia’s eastern Amur region. The Russian government wants to host its first manned launch from that site in 2018.
At the moment, all manned Soyuz launches take place from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Alternatively, the space agencies could opt to “man-rate” Europe’s Ariane 5 launcher, which lifts off from Kourou in French Guiana. This would allow the rocket to carry humans into space.
This would involve making major modifications to Kourou spaceport, including the development of infrastructure to support a crew escape system in the event of an emergency.
It is quite possible that both launch sites would play a role in any collaborative programme, which would necessitate the lofting of cargo as well as human crew.
However, if this collaboration falls apart, Europe has another option for direct manned access to space.
Other option
In May this year, European aerospace company EADS Astrium unveiled its own model of a crewed space vehicle, described as an “evolution” of the ATV, which was built by a consortium of European companies led by Astrium.
It would combine what is essentially the avionics and propulsion end of the ATV with a crew compartment taking the place of the current cargo section.

EADS Astrium has proposed a manned version of the ATV |
Mr Zak commented: “I think the main roadmap is the agreement between the European and Russian space agencies. That is their Plan A. Their Plan B is the initiative made by EADS Astrium in Bremen.”
But if the agencies want a manned craft capable of reaching the Moon, they will need to develop new, more powerful rockets than those on the drawing board today.
“This is an open question, there are no decisions on how to proceed,” said Mr Zak.
The CSTS is also sometimes referred to as the Advanced Crew Transportation System (ACTS). Esa and Roscosmos started talks on the project after some Esa member states rejected further involvement in the development of another manned spacecraft called Kliper.
The proposals will go before a crucial meeting of space ministers from European member states in November this year.
Libya ‘halts Swiss oil shipments’
Hannibal Gaddafi has denied claims he assaulted two of his staff in Switzerla |
Libya’s state shipping company says it has halted oil shipments to Switzerland in protest at the brief arrest of leader Muammar Gaddafi’s youngest son.
It threatened further action if the Swiss did not apologise for the arrest.
Geneva police held Hannibal Gaddafi for two days after he and his pregnant wife allegedly hit two of their staff.
The couple face charges of bodily harm, threatening behaviour and coercion. They have denied any wrongdoing over the alleged incident on 15 July.
Costly row?
The stopping of oil shipments comes a day after the Swiss foreign ministry complained of Libya taking “retaliatory measures”, such as forcing Swiss firms to close Libyan offices. Read the rest of this entry »

Net TV technology seeks testers
StreamPlayer shares data among viewers to serve large audiences |
Testers are being sought for technology that may help TV migrate to the net.
The P2P Next project has created a trial, or beta, version of software that can stream video across a file-sharing network.
The EU has put 19m euros into the project hoping the software the team creates will become a Europe-wide standard for broadcasters.
The P2P Next team are looking for thousands to sign up to give the technology a good workout. Read the rest of this entry »
Zimbabwe leaders agree talks pact
Mr Mugabe and Mr Tsvangirai shook hands at their first meeting in a decade |
President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai have signed a deal outlining a framework for talks on Zimbabwe’s political crisis.
The pair - who were filmed shaking hands at their meeting in the capital, Harare - have been locked in a dispute over this year’s presidential polls.
It was their first meeting in a decade. Mr Tsvangirai described the pact as a “first tentative step”.
South African President Thabo Mbeki helped broker the agreement.
It calls for discussions on a new constitution, states a goal of forming an “inclusive government” and urges the prevention of political violence. Read the rest of this entry »
