Is the universe full of life? (313)

In this University of Southern California program, Robert Kuhn hosts a group of distinguished panelists in a discussion of what may lie beyond our world. Humans have long wondered whether life exists beyond our home planet. In recent years, a host of new technologies are turning speculation into science. We now have the ability to discern the atmosphere of an extra-solar planet so distant we can't even see it, to detect the presence of dozens of new planets circling stars similar to our own sun. To top things off, recent discoveries of life in environments on Earth so extreme leads to the belief that it's not unreasonable to imagine that microbes -- or more -- may flourish elsewhere in the Universe. Panelists include: Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, Bruce Murray, professor of planetary science and geology at the California Institute of Technology and Shri Kulkarni, planetary astronomer at CalTech.

Brand new! 2011 - air crash investigation - heathrow crash landing - ba flight 38 (full)

Subscribe , rate , comment!! And Enjoy! (ACI 2011 Ep 2) (Full & HD) On 17 January 2008, during short final both British Airways Flight 38's engines rolled back to idle. The Captain raises the flaps which gives them a few more feet of flying time. The aircraft passes over the A30 road and crashes just short of the runway. There were no fatalities, but 47 people sustained injuries. The fuel flow to both engines was restricted because of ice crystals causing a blockage in the fuel-oil heat exchangers (FOHE). Another similar incident happened On November 26, 2008 when Delta Air Lines Flight 18's engines also rolled back to idle at 39000 feet. That plane landed safely in Atlanta.

The device has been modified v2 - portal music video

When I uploaded this in 2008 YouTube did not support higher quality videos and their official documentation called for videos at 320x240 which is why this is lower quality. There will probably not be as higher quality version released as it would require using FRAPS to re-record everything in proper HD. I decided to go back and remake my original video of this using some new ideas I had. This video also includes my own version of the Portal ending credits. The song is "The Device has been Modified" by Victims of Science. The end credit song I used is Jarrett Heather's version of Jonathan Coulton's "Still Alive". Music used with written permission.
