Future travel

Steven hawking talked about an idea, an idea of future travel. His idea was that if a train could break the speed of sound it would be able to travel fast then time and would be able to travel 100's or thousands of years ahead,but this is just theory the way is to travel the speed of light. If this is accomplished the train is breaking the rules of physics, because nothing is faster than light, but because of physics this can never happen. the trains speed would just stay below the speed of light. now inside the the train there are passengers like in the video because everything outside is going really fast everything in side is slowing down. just to overt reaching the speed of light.They said even though this could be happen the funding and money needed would never get funding and the problem of the train is you would need to buy a new train every time becuase it can't come back. 
  





In New Mexico N.A.S.A is working on commercialization for space flight. thats right they want to be able  to send citizens out into space. basically like a trip on a plane but in space. the cool thing about this is that it is here in New Mexico so for us its an easy travel to the spaceport. it costs 200,000,000 dollars to build this spaceport, witch in fact most of it is from the states pocket. the main man behind this project is Richard Branson. he plans in the future to build space resorts and land passengers on the moon.

Airplanes

Transportation in new mexico has greatly increased over the past years. we have gone from horses, cars trains, and other things, but now we writing about the planes of new mexico. Planes were a great addition to transportation but were not too sure about how to react to these flying objects. If i was one of the first to be introduced to planes, i would not know how to react. The first plane made did not look like the kind of thing you would want any family riding in.    These airplanes were not exactly built to hold too many people because they were very old and the technology used to build these was not very good.

Modern day airplanes are very well built and are even used to not only transport people but also to transport heavy military equipment. Airplanes now compared to airplanes back in the day are much better. The airplanes might not be good for the environment but are much safer for us while in the plane. I would not consider airplanes to be the most reliable form of transportation now because of the mistakes people make but there are many unmanned air crafts that are not made for transporting people, but they are very good.

Grades....

Hey guys, you really need to post your full blog so that I can at least give you credit for something...Considering your group blog is worth 50 of your 75 points for the assignment, it is imperative that you produce something. If nothing is posted beside a re-posted homework assignment, I have no choice but to give you all low grades. Even if the assignment is late, that is still much better than not completing it at all. ~ Ms. Schlabach

The history of planes in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Aviation in Albuquerque and in New Mexico was booming in the early 1900's. By 1913 some pilots were  using a simple landing strip at the end of the University of New Mexico. In 1928, two Santa Fe rail road employes  built a private airport in Albuquerque using equipment from the city and they made two run ways on  the east mesa four miles from downtown. In the ten years from 1920-1930 Albuquerque grew from 15,000 to 26,000 people. Some people saw Albuquerque as a cross roads location. The two competing  airports eventually join to make TWA the first national airline to fly out of New Mexico.  In 1955 TWA flight 260 became an historic  flight that crashed into the the Sandia Peak (the watermelon mountains). Later that year the city was talking about making a public airport with WPA money. The airport opens with two paved run ways and a pueblo style terminal building. In April 1941 a B-22 bomber lands on the strip. Today this is  known as Kirtland Airforce Base. In 1962 President John F. Kennedy  visits Sandia National labs for a weapons debriefing. In 1965 construction is completed on a building called  The Albuquerque International Sunport.

Motorcycles and New Mexico

















In 1926 when Route 66 was produced as a stretch of highway from Chicago all the way to Los Angeles, California. Route 66 passed through Albuquerque. According to the Albuquerque transit history Route 66 made a big curve in New Mexico because it followed already existing roads. The route went through Santa Rosa after it came through Tucumcari and then went on to Santa Fe. The Old 66 used to go down Fourth Street and then to Gallup and for the next 880 miles to Los Angeles. In 1937 the curve was redrawn and Central became the new 66 and it was paved!



            Motorcycles have always been part of the Route 66 culture and the New Mexico culture. The weather is beautiful and the scenery is even more spectacular. The Harley Davidson is probably the most popular motorcycle in New Mexico and has a long history. Howard Roper who lived from 1823 to 1896 invented a motorcycle powered by coal that was the first two-cycle steam engine motorcycle (Subaru-Official website).





            In 1885 a German named Gottlieb invented was a wooden frame attached to a gas engine. The engine that Daimler used was invented by Nicolaus Otto who built the first four-stroke internal combustion engine (Subaru-Official website). After these inventers went on to invent cars two brothers and William Harley developed the motorcycle. The brothers were named Davidson and their company became Harley Davidson. The motorcycle had a quality engine and was used for racing but was also manufactured as a transport motorcycle. As a result the first official Harley-Davidson dealership opened in Chicago. These machines that could travel at 58 miles per hour rapidly moved west. The Harley Davidson was used for World War I and even was bought by Poncho Villa and his fighters and shipped to Mexico for the Revolution. The Harley-Davidson survived the Great Depression and moved on to World War II (Harley-Davidson History). New Mexico has always been a part of the War Movements with Los Alamos Labs and the development of the atomic bomb, Sandia Labs, and the testing facility for the atomic bomb. The Harley-Davidson has grown side by side with New Mexico and its people.
