Helios B

Helios-A and Helios-B (also known as Helios 1 and Helios 2), are a pair of probes launched into heliocentric orbit for the purpose of studying solar processes. A joint venture of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and NASA, the probes were launched from the John F. Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Dec. 10, 1974, and Jan. 15, 1976, respectively.

The probes are notable for having set a maximum speed record among spacecraft at 252,792 km/h (157,078 mi/h or 43.63 mi/s or 70.22 km/s or 0.000234

c). Helios 2 flew three million kilometers closer to the Sun than Helios 1, achieving perihelion on 17 April 1976 at a record distance of 0.29 AU (or 43.432 million kilometers), slightly inside the orbit of Mercury. Helios 2 was sent into orbit 13 months after the launch of Helios 1. The Helios space probes completed their primary missions by the early 1980s, but they continued to send data up to 1985. The probes are no longer functional but still remain in their elliptical orbit around the Sun

Soaking Wet Spirit

Tue, 21 May 2013 01:28:00 -0400

What does it take to feel alive?

This weekend, it was campfire smoke and persnickety sand. Well-planned meals and a tiny tent. Birthday brunch and ripped-up rose petals.

Most of all, it was sheet lightning and a not-so-summery storm. Drenched khakis and the finest of friends. Chocolate milk, abnormal body temperature, and the satisfaction of a day well spent. Exuberance and euphoria abound.

What does it take to feel alive?

Friend: Kenneth Faried makes moms proud:

When Jason Collins revealed he was gay, he had an ally waiting for him in Denver. Because Nuggets power forward Kenneth Faried gets it. He doesn’t rebound only for himself. He rebounds for his moms.

A humbling and beautiful article about Kenneth Faried, a forward on the Denver Nuggets who grew up with two moms and is on the forefront of preventing homophobia in sports.

I went to visit a college student named Sam in the hospital today. Normally, I wouldn’t publicly address the experience, but one of Sam’s friends posted the pic on Reddit.com and it gained attention and an outpouring of support for Sam and his family. Several media outlets have hit me up asking…

Love that Macklemore’s still a human being.
