Hello followers, so recently i have stumbled upon this site called “swagbucks” . My friend kept pushing me into seeing what this site was all about the day he knocked on my door with a box in his hand, i asked him why he was waking me up so early and he claimed this site had mailed him a amazon gift card, so i was a little skeptical, however sure enough there was a gift card in this little yellow envelop. To make a long story short this site shares its ad revenue with you in the form of points, that get redeemed for prizes the most popular being $5 amazon gift cards. For those of you that think this might be a scam i will provide youtube videos of people unboxing there amazon cards, and gifts. The quickiest way to get points from this site is to download there toolbar, basically they give you points when you use there search engine much like google. This site has to be by far the coolest thing ive ever seen, and completely legit, since then my friend danny has got 3 more gift card, ive only got two :< lol. Theres banners on my tumblr to join just click those to get bonus swagpoints or click the picture above.

the Cassini spacecraft conducted a flyby of Saturn’s sixth-largest moon, Enceladus, snapping some rather breathtaking photos along the way. The flyby, whose purpose was to gather the highest-resolution photos ever of the moon’s southern polar region and to thermally map the “tiger stripe” terrain there, gathered some stunning images including some of the geyser-like plumes Cassini discovered on the moon’s surface during previous flybys.

The photos themselves provided by Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations (CICLOPS) are raw and unprocessed, but along with the thermal data they should help researchers piece together a detailed map of Enceladus’s geologically active southern pole.

Could some really great cupcakes be enough to send Americans back to the Moon?
More than a dozen US universities are hosting events on Saturday to urge support for the cash-strapped space agency, which faces major cuts to its planetary programs in fiscal year 2013.
Ranging from shoe shines to car washes and bake sales, the events are not actually designed to raise money to send to NASA, the organizers stressed.
“Our goal is not to raise money but to raise awareness and to have people tell Congress to put the funds back to last year’s funding level,” said Cindy Conrad, an assistant at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
NASA’s planetary programs are expected to be cut by more than $300 million dollars in President Barack Obama’s next budget, and the cost-cutting has already axed a major Mars project with Europe.
The US space agency has faced harsh criticism in recent years by slashing a program to return Americans to the Moon and retiring the space shuttle fleet in 2011 without a replacement vehicle to take astronauts to space.

Probably one of my favorite inventions, a machine that can suck out the moisture in the air, filter it and sterilize it, serving it up either hot or cold. Producing up to 7 gallons of pure water using half the the electricity of your microwave. Whats better is its available to the public for a affordable price $1200. Whether your trying to get a little extra water at your cabin or trying to prevent world hunger this is the machine for you. Water wells can cost anywhere between $6000-10000, and theres no guarantee you will hit water, especially where its most needed the desert. It is my believe that if this machine was sold on the mass market like walmart, and  costco the price would dramatically come down to $600 and efficiently go up to 10 or more gallons of water per day.

The Bigelow Next-Generation Commercial Space Station is a private orbital space complex currently under development by Bigelow Aerospace. The space station will be constructed of both Sundancer and BA 330 expandable spacecraft modules as well as a central docking node, propulsion, solar arrays, and attached crew capsules. Initial launch of space station components is planned for 2014, with portions of the station available for leased use as early as 2015. In 2010, Bigelow Aerospace began building a large production facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada to produce the space modules. The 181,000 square feet (16,800 m²) facility will include three production lines for three distinct spacecraft, doubling the amount of floor space at Bigelow and transitioning the focus from research and development to production. Bigelow expects to hire approximately 1200 new employees to staff the plant, with production commencing in early 2012.

U.S, British and Mexican researchers say satellite tracking technology has uncovered feeding habitats and threats to a mysterious ocean giant, the manta ray. Conservationists from the Wildlife Conservation Society of New York, the University of Exeter in Britain and the government of Mexico have completed a ground-breaking study using satellite telemetry to track the open-ocean journeys of the world’s largest ray, which can grow up to 25 feet in width, the WCS reported Friday. The manta ray, listed as “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, has become increasingly threatened by fishing and accidental capture and now needs more protection, the researchers said. “Almost nothing is known about the movements and ecological needs of the manta ray, one of the ocean’s largest and least-known species,” said Rachel Graham, director of WCS’s Gulf and Caribbean Sharks and Rays Program. “Our real-time data illuminate the previously unseen world of this mythic fish and will help to shape management and conservation strategies for this species.” The research team attached satellite transmitters to six manta rays off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. “The satellite tag data revealed that some of the rays traveled more than 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) during the study period,” Matthew Witt of the University of Exeter’s Environment and Sustainability Institute said. “The rays spent most of their time traversing coastal areas plentiful in zooplankton and fish eggs from spawning events.” Manta rays are declining in the Caribbean and in other tropical regions of the world’s oceans because they are captured for shark bait or for use in the traditional Chinese medicinal trade, researchers said.
