Hi Yorkie and Derly – I have just finished cooking and eating. The prepackaged, precooked meat was just a few days out of date (1 week), I hope it will be alright. If I am not around tomorrow you will know it is food poisoning.
I have put a couple or so pieces of music from the Presentations on my site for you to download whenever you like. One piece I called “Moments” belongs to a Presentation I have not finished yet.
The Northerm Lights vid was great - I have only seen them once but not for as long or as brilliant as in the vid. I wonder if you can see them from Northern China ... very occasionally you can see them weakly in Britain.
After successfully testing them this week, aeronautical engineers from Tokyo University believe the planes, made from heat-resistant paper treated with silicon, will survive the fiery descent back to Earth when they are released by a Japanese astronaut on the international space station later this year
The planes, designed by the Japan origami airplane association, survived temperatures of 250C (482F) and winds speeds of Mach 7 - seven times the speed of sound - during their 30-second flight inside the university's hypersonic wind tunnel.
"Paper planes are extremely light so they slow down when the air is thin and can gradually descend," Prof Shinji Suzuki, who heads the team, told Reuters.
