LARANGAN MEROKOK !

http://www.utusan.com.my/ (10th March 2011)

DUA pegawai penguatkuasa Kementerian Kesihatan mengambil tindakan terhadap dua 'pelanggan' di kantin Kompleks Mahkamah Kuala Lumpur selepas tidak menghiraukan larangan menghisap rokok di kawasan tersebut, di Kuala Lumpur, 9 March 2011. - Utusan/NOORADZRENE MOHD NOOR.

Komen:

Baguslah ada 'penguatkuasaan' larangan merokok walaupun di kantin kompleks mahkamah... Tetapi 'Pelanggan' maksudnya orang ramai yg datang berurusan dgn mahkamah (yg sudahpun mempunyai banyak masalah peribadi tersendiri), ataupun pegawai mahkamah itu sendiri yg 'ditangkap'? Jangan hendak jaga 'bulu' punya pasal, orang 'lemah' yg dicari.

INTO THE FUTURE WITH SPACE-PLANE !

INTO THE FUTURE WITH SPACE-PLANE

AGENCIES, The West Australian, March 11, 2011, 7:14 am

British engineers have unveiled a revolutionary 'spaceplane' that can take off from an ordinary airport runway and carry tourists and which could operating within a decade.

The “Skylon spaceplane”, which so far has cost $1.12 billion to develop, can travel at more than five times the speed of sound.

The unpiloted craft, which can take off from an airport runway, has no external rockets and two engines use hydrogen and oxygen to propel it more than 18 miles into space, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Officials from the UK Space Agency believe it can revolutionise space travel and significantly cut its cost by taking advantage of newly developed technology.

Although it is primarily intended to launch satellites, they say the ship, which will carry 30 to 40 passengers, could even pioneer a new era in space tourism.

Reports have suggested that developing the craft will eventually cost about $12 billion, the same amount it costs to develop an Airbus jet. The craft has been developed by Reaction Engines with support from the new space agency.

Mark Hempsell, future programs director at Reaction Engines Ltd, told CNN: "The engine starts by burning hydrogen with air and finishes up burning hydrogen with liquid oxygen like a shuttle engine."

Because all this is in the same rocket chamber, the aircraft can take off and land in the same way as a conventional jumbo jet.
Mr Hempsell said: "It's a very doable system. The basics of the engine are thoroughly rooted and explored, so there is no danger they aren't going to work. We feel that this should have taken over from the shuttle a while back."

Richard Varvill, technical director and one of the founders of Reaction Engines, believes his company’s craft will revolutionise space travel. “Access to space is extraordinarily expensive, yet there’s no law of physics that says it has to be that way,” he told The Engineer magazine.

“We just need to prove it’s viable. The simple truth is that the Earth is part of a much bigger system. “We’re talking a bit of science fiction now, but in theory there’s nothing that stops you going out (into space).

Officials will meet next week at a special two-day workshop next week, which will investigate how it can be developed commercially. Reaction Engines said it will take 10 years to develop, leaving Britain to become the first country in the world to launch a spaceplane in orbit.
