FELIX BAUMGARTNER Felix Baumgartner, born April 20, 1969, grew up in Salzburg, Austria where he dreamed of skydiving and flying helicopters and was inspired by astronauts on TV. He made his first skydive at age 16. After sharpening his parachute skills as a member of a Special Forces demonstration team for the Austrian military, he supported himself by repairing motorcycles before becoming a proffesional in skydiving. Eager to test the limits, Felix set a record for history's lowest BASE jump (from Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue), twice set world records for the highest BASE jump
2. The invention of the silicon chips meant that computers advanced at an unprecedented rate. 3. Put the disk in your floppy drive and save the file onto it; this way you can use it on any other computer. 4. All mobile phones have a call recognition feature which lets you see who's calling you before you answer. 5. An itemised bill lets you see exactly how much each phone call cost you. 6. My mobile has gone dead, and I've left my battery charger at home; can I borrow yours? 7. The astronauts will be transported to the space station tomorrow, and will spend the next two months there. 8. The captain made some calculations on the on-board computers and saw that he had just enough fuel to get back to Earth. 9. As soon as they spotted the problem with the trajectory, mission control told the crew of the space shuttle to turn back. LANGUAGE FOCUS IV 1.

Natural gas and oil are other important exports along with forestry products. Though largely dependent on natural resources Canada has also a strong manufacturing industry. Transportation equipment such as automobiles and automobile parts are our most important manu7factured goods, followed by food, paper products and chemicals. Canada is also a world leader in the telecommunications industry. The Canadarm, a remote-controlled arm used by NASA astronauts in the American space program, is a major Canadian achievement. Canadians have also developed and built powerful communication satellites, which are used by countries around the world.
The number of the people who wanted to get the one-way ticket to the Mars was well over 200,000. The astronaut crews that go to Mars will be diverse in gender, cultural background, and age. This is intentional. The diversity will help each team bring greater resources to solving problems. Before carefully selected and trained crews will depart to Mars, several unmanned missions will be completed, establishing a habitable settlement waiting for the first astronauts to arrive. The Mars One crews will go to Mars not to simply visit, but to live, explore, and create a second home for humanity. The first men and women to go to Mars are going there to stay. Answer the following questions: 1 What kind of rockets did the Chinese make in the 13th century and what were they used for? 2 How were these rockets used in the 15th and 16th century in North America and Europe?
space is demilitarized, some parts fully, some partially. Moon and other celestial bodies are fully demilitarized; other stuff (orbit etc) in space prohibit nuclear weapons or other mass destruction weapons can be used Dropping nuclear heads from space take very little time, so if it's a technical mistake you cannot stop it. Usual missiles take more time, 10-20 minutes. Moon and other celestial bodies used exclusively for peaceful purposes Astronauts are regarded as the envoys of mankind; Principle from the agreement on the rescue of astronauts, the reutn of astronauts and the return of object launched in space All states are obliged to help astronauts and return their objects if they land on their territory.
