SkySails: Wind Powered Ships Are Back In Fashion
Boats and Ships have been using wind power to move around the globe for thousands of years. Its only the last 100 years or so that we converted to using oil. Now that this fossil fuel its running low and expensive, people are trying to go back to the good old fashion wind power. This is what SkySails, a German company, is trying to do.
The introduction of a 160 meter parachute-like, kite promises approximately 20% reduction in fuel in a 2 month journey, which roughly translates to saving 2.5 tons of oil ($1,000 per day).

9/11: Nothing Goes To Waste
New York, the latest addition to the US Navy Fleet was “baptized” in New Orleans. This ordinary event is actually special as the boat was made from 7.5 tons of iron that came from the World Trade Center.
From ecological point of view this thing is very good, but I have to say it is a bit spooky. Americans state with this symbolism the necessity of this ship and the need to increase the military spending. The ship’s motto is ?Strength forged through sacrifice. Never Forget?.
The US Spy Satellite Was Shot Down
A while ago NASA announced that the renegade satellite that was about to fall on our heads was destroyed by a Raytheon Missile from a US Navy ship somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. The 2 ton satellite was threatening earth with its dangerous toxic chemicals by falling in rural areas.
Rumor has it that it was destroyed so that its technology will not fall in enemy hands!
