Noticias del Espacio
Una astronauta estadounidense pasará un par de semanas de mas en la estación espacial internacional, aunado a los 7 mese que ya pasó por alla. Todo esto debido a que una tormenta dañó el transbordador Atlantis y atrasó todo el calendario de lanzamientos de la NASA. Con esto, ella romperá el record americano de la estancia en orbita mas larga... aunque su compañero actual en la estación espacial romperá este record, ya que el está programado para quedarse oficialmente mucho mas. El record lo tiene un ruso de la estación MIR, que estuvo 417 dias en orbita.
Objetos incandecentes estuvieron "a punto" de golpear a un vuelo comercial que se dirigía a Nueva Zelanda desde Chile. El piloto desmintió esta noticia, al decir que solo habían observado en el firmamento objetos incandecentes ingresando a la atmosfera. La NASA, al monitorear todo lo que entra y sale de la atmosfera, reportó que efectivamente, los rusos habían realizado un lanzamiento, pero que los desechos no debían de reingresar hasta 12 horas mas tarde. Lo importante es que de cualquier forma, la amenaza de desechos espaciales se está volviendo una realidad.
La sonda Cassiny, que actualmente orbita a Saturno y sus lunas, encontró en el polo norte de este planeta una extraña forma hexagonal que hace 26 años las sondas Voyager ya habían captado. Eso es lo raro. La NASA dió por un hecho hace 26 años que se trataba de una tormenta peculiar, pero al encontrarla ahora, no saben que pensar. Nomas quiero recordar que en la naturaleza está forma no es tan extraña... y que en realidad no tenemos idea de como funciona el clima en Saturno.

Futuro
Es importante, al hacer proyecciones a futuro, crear una correlación de datos. En este caso en especial, lo referente al futuro de nuestro mundo.
Como ya mencioné en otro Post, la visita de George Bush a latinoamérica fue para iniciar relaciones estrechas con paises generadores de biocombustibles, en este caso el etanol -producido a base de maiz- y de un combustible similar a base de caña de azucar. Brasil fué el primer país que visitó, donde antes de encontrase con el presidente, visitó a los presidentes de Petrobras, paraestatal encargada del consumo enegético en ese pais.
México fue el último en la agenda, donde no solo se discutió el tema de la migración, sino del abastecimiento de recursos naturales entre ambos paises.
Ahora, el senado de EU ha solicitado a George Bush el retiro de las tropas para el primer trimestre del 2008, a lo que obviamente el se opone. Ante los rechazos mutuos, el senado respondió al presidente que "hay temas mas importantes que discutir, especialmente los que se refieren al futuro de su estilo de vida".
Al Gore, ex vicepresidente de EU, habló hace un par de dias ante el Congreso para hacerlos entrar en razón respecto al cambio climático, exponiendo que el uso de combustibles fósiles debe cesar de manera inmediata ó será demasiado tarde.
Al parecer el mensaje llegó a donde debía, llevando a los Senadores de EU a tomar una decición en cuanto a las prioridades de su país.
En México, se ha iniciado una relación mas estrecha entre este país y Brasil, donde el principal tema son las tecnologías energéticas alternativas.
Es bien sabido que la Unión Europea ya ve al cambio climático como una prioridad, así como los asiáticos, ya que todos firmaron el Protocolo Kyoto para la economización de emisiones de CO2 a la atmosfera. El rol de América dentro de este protocolo fue virtualmente nula, pero con etas acciones un tanto deficientes, creo que tres de las potencias de este continente están dando (espeo no muy tarde) los primeros pasos hacia una mejora y concientización en lo relacionado al cambio climático.

lost 1937
En 1937, una expeción en Chiapas buscaba unas ruinas que habían sido reportadas por campesinos a las faldas de una sistema montañoso. A pocos minutos de llegar, una tormenta los obligó a tomar refugio en una cueva. Al sentirse seguros, decidieron acampar ahí por esa noche. Pero el terreno inundado los obligó a adentrarse en la cueva hasta un slugar seco donde pasaron la noche. Al amanecer, notaron que la cueva tenía una salida del otro lado e impulsados por la curiosidad dos de los cinco exploradores fueron a echar un vistazo. Al salir de la cueva, se dieron cuenta de que el piso rocoso que estaban pisando era distinto, como pulido... Notaron que las paredes estaban pulidas también. Ante el asombro, se alejaron de la salida de la cueva, hacía lo que notaron era una especie de "crater" dentro de la montaña. Al llegar al otro extremo del interior de la montaña y darse media vuelta, lograron ver que todo un lado de la montaña estaba decorado con motivos mayas, con un hombre gigante que los miraba y que señalaba hacía su vientre que estaba enterrado... Obiviamente, el equipo documentó fotográficamente el descubrimiento, pero al regresar de ese lugar, un deslave en una montaña hizo rodar su vehículo por una montaña. Ninguno de ellos sobrevivió, pero alguien recupero, por no decir robó, sus pertenencias. A nosotros solo nos llega esta foto, bastante maltratada y seguramente fotografiada de la original.
A juzgar de varios expertos, en lo que los expedicionarios están recargados es una estela maya que muy probablemente no fue colocada ahí junto con el coloso, ya que parece ser que la escultura continúa hacía abajo, lo que quiere decir que esta obra fue realizada mucho antes del expledor y tradición maya de fechar los monumentos.
Lo importantes es que se debe de encontrar este lugar de nuevo y explorarlo, ya que tira a piso todo lo que creemos saber sobre esta majestuosa cultura.

I'll build a time machine...
so I will travel and find that I'm exactly as I've always been... find that love was really at first sight... and that I've always, always loved you.

True Love Waits ::: BKN
I'll drown my believes,
to have you be in peace.
I'll dress like your niece,
and wash your swallen feet.
I'm not leaving,
I'm just killing time.
Your tiny hands,
Your crazy kitten smile.
Just don't leave... don't leave.
And true love waits,
on haunted attics.
And true love lives,
on lollypops and crisps.
Just don't leave.
Don't leave.

38 hours of render... shit
Michael Bay is finishing the Transformers movie, up to open July 4th. As we know, the aproach to the concept is to really have car sized robot on screen... at least, for there are helicopters, trailers... (does any one know what Megatron is... I remember him being a giant gun...).
Obviously, all robots are CGI, but photorealistic CGI's so the render time grew up to 38 hours PER FRAME. For those of you that might not know what this means... render is a process where 3D software interpretates all the lightning, shadows, reflections, refraction, transparency, radiosity (the bounced light from one object to another) and almost every property real life material have. A movie uses 24 frames per seconds to create the animation illusion... this means that every second we see, we're seeing in fact 24 frames passing soo fast that our brain is unable to see each image and creates the "inbetweens" of the images. TV, or general video, uses aproximatly 30 frames per second. Now, Transformers will be a feature leght film, this means about 2 hours. Obviously, we will not see CGI all the time, but at least 75 minutes of the film. Calculating, that each frame would've taken about 18 hours (for not every frame takes the same in render) ... THAT's TOO LONG!!!....
This movie really is gotta be huge.

Finally
The stupid war in Middle East will be over. US Congress has voted 218-212 for the withdraw of the troops over there. By September 2008, the troops must be at home.
A light of hope?
Mayan's had a prophecy, in wich the world as we know it will end in 2012-2013, a judgement will be conducted, personally and as the one entity we are here on Earth. How we result judged, will be the fate of our future "life".
We've done a great harm to our planet by exploit it and pollute it without any care. We've multiplied by two in the last 100 years. We've killed our selves at great scale almost the same time since. Not like we'd deserve a second chance around right?
But, this is most personally, I feel like there's a change. People, possibly by fear, feel more interest in this issues and really try to make up. Of course, this ancient prophecy (wich has turned out to be very accurate) is not known by all, wich proofs that this might actually be happening.

What we believe
Recently, I've been researching about some theories about human origen in this planet. From archeological info to religious and ethnical.
Who can really tell us what happened back then?
Science has it theory. It is call evolution. Religion (each and everyone of them) has Creation.
But the merging point between them is call "Comun Fact". Things have happened on Earth that has been recordered in humanity's pre and historical memory as well on phisical evidences on Earth.
Let's take a quick and easy example. The big flood. Moises saved mankind by building a gigant ship (I believe that the animals are metaphorical). Greeks told of the Water Punishment and Mayan's first try for mankind was erased from earth by a flood.
Almost every religions holds that in some point a flood took over the entire planet and destroyed everything men had done that far.
Plus, there´s another theory about a "Planet X" which could very well be the asteroid belt we know. Mayans had a time cicle of 52 years, which in a time culture that counted every single thing they could, is the only one non related with any astral or earth event. Tradicionally, every 52 years gods were suppoused to return. Also Egypt and Syria had knowledge of this planet.
This means that human, in some point or the other, knew the existance of this planet and we were here for it's destruction or... some one told us.
There's a theory about what is call the Ancient Astronauts. Mainly it talks about advanced civilations that might have come to Earth in the early years of man and taught us how to improve our live style. The theory evocates that this civilation may have come from the Planet X or from another planet that is believed (many religions also believe this) which orbit is far bigger than any other in our solar system and only come close every once in a while.
Of course, as usual, this theory holds a great deal of rivals, mainly in the scientific circles. They say this theory does nothing but take away the credit of great civilizations that made great achiviments by hard working and creative thinking.
My point:
What to believe? Non of the two theories of human evolution (culturally speaking) completely explain why those things took place. I can't trust any of them. I'd take an archeologist to discover a stone under some temple which would read something like "mankind first came to be because..." Of couse it would have to be in english, perfectly preserved and bulletproof... and still some would deny it's telling the truth.
Let me example this. Some days ago, someone found a piece of map, in a library in Italy, lost in time, which proofs that portuguese sailors first discovered Australia, long before the English or the Dutch. The note is here. What would it be of history if this man hadn't discovered this. We would've grown believing some english discovered Australia. Traduct this to a planetary scale.
All I'm saying is to leave the possiblities open. Don´t close yourself in a world discribed by idiots (like me) that guide you through life.
The real things are there. Is up to us discover what is really their meaning and make sure that future generation won't specualte with us.

For all the Messies around (me included)
A recent study, published in a book, declares that not all messes at work or home are bad. In fact, there's been cases where this disorder comes handy. What many of us call "a ordered mess" is now almost a proven fact.
If every head is a world... every mess is in fact our little messy place.

INT. A DARK ROOMAT NIGHT
FULL SHOT: The room has no light except for tha street light across street that passes through the close bins. She, young in her mid 20's, wearing a light black dress, holding a rose in her hand, stands infront of a closed door. She stare at the door as if some is to come in any moment. She breaths lightly, but still with troubles. She is ready, still scared.
A light switches on behind the door and footsteps are heardable now. She doesn't react to this.

VOICE OFF, NARRATOR:
Some one's coming... we've always felt it. The moment's ahead... We've always known it.
Some one's coming... we've always felt it. The moment's ahead... We've always known it.
CLOSE UP AT HER FEET, WITH THE BACK DOOR'S LIGHT: Her naked feet contrast the wooden floor. Only the back door's light enlight them. The rose falls near her right foot.
The shadow of a Man's feet stands on the other side of the door.

TILTED DOWN SHOT, MEDIUM: The door opens and we only get to see the Man, wearing perfectly dark entering the room. His shadow towards her.
VO. NARRATOR (Continuing):

Bueno... mucha gente dirá "se los dije", mucha gente llorará y pedirá a su dios por perdón y redención... pero lo que es seguro es que el cambio climático ya nadie lo para. Es parte del juego de masas el que nadie diga nada abiertamente, pero inclusive los gobiernos petroleros (USA, America Latina y Medio Oriente) ya están viendo al Etanol como sustituto del petroleo. Al mismo tiempo, las comunidades científicas del mundo ya están buscando soluciones poco "ortodoxas" para el problema... aunque siendo realistas... son soluciones de ficción (ciencia ficción) que para llevarse a cabo tomarían demasiado tiempo. Las "soluciones" son contruir arboles gigantes que filtren las emisiones de gases, construir discos voladores gigantes que giren en orbita a la Tierra para que enfrien el planeta (super loco!!!!) ó generar volcanes artificiales para liberar calor del planeta.
Curiosamente, todas estas soluciones a mi gusto son sacadas de historias de ciencia ficción... las granjas de gases de Star Wars, las nubes que impedían el paso de la luz solar en Matrix y las hogueras colosales del planeta Apokolips de Superman.
El futuro nos alcanzó sin que nos dieramos cuenta... y entiendan que para que el presidente de USA vaya hasta Brasil y haga su gira por latinoamerica visitando a los paises que producen Etanol (combustible que no es enteramente generable en USA) y que gasté dos billones de dolares al año en invetigación sobre el cambio climatico... es que algo está ocurriendo, y muy rápido.
