The Bluebird Project

Bill, Polo, Thanks for your comments. I didn't really know what I'd learn by posting, nor was I really looking for anything specific - sometimes you just go fishing to see what you catch! I don't think I'll be snorkelling next week - temperature needs to be a few degrees warmer than the current fore...

Any of the diving community on here ever dived the wreck of the Royal Charter off the coast of Anglessey at Moelfre? Would love to hear your story / see any pictures. Found out just recently that my GGG Grandfather was one of the few survivors from the wreck on 26th October 1859. For those who know ...

It is important to understand that Crusader fell foul of the little-known effects of dynamic instability. This was elegantly enunciated by the Norris brothers following analysis of cinematographic recordings of Crusader's demise (The Engineer, 1957). They showed that the craft suffered violent pitc...

The ultimate outcome of all this will be that just like more and more military operations, the outright records will become unmanned to prevent the possibilty of an individual having a bad day. On this basis, the current speed record would be 99.9999991% of the speed of light - as held by those nice...
