JETMAN & PAPER AIRPLANE

2011-09-01T12:06:00.000-04:00

We have a couple of Youtube videos about flying we like.

Our Skytime friend David Gittens sent us the link to Jetman Flight at Grand Canyon West. This is very courageous, powerful representation
of our desire to fly.

Another one is about a paper airplane. In competitive paper airplane throwing, a 20 second flight is masterful, and if you can top 25 seconds
you are one of the worlds' best. Takuo Toda has a world record with his 27.9 seconds.

You can read about this

We are busy working on our archives, Dance Score Book and planning Intermedia Workshop.

Today is Earth Day!!!

Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Earth Day was introduced on April 22, 1970 by the late Senator Gaylord Nelson as a way to inspire dialogue and promote awareness about the environmental issues plaguing our planet. 40 years later, the Earth Day campaign has grown from 20 million Americans, to include over one billion people from 190 countries, participating in activities to make our planet a greener place.

Flying Silver Muffin in the Sky

2009-10-20T11:40:00.000-04:00

So this friday I was listening to Radio and found out a now famous story of a balloon that looks like a muffin shaped UFO flying amok in Colorado that may or may not have a 6 year old boy inside.
He wasn't. Falcon (the kid's name) was safe at home playing with a box in the attic. The father of Falcon, Richard Heene, is a man with passion for science experiments such as chasing storms, looking for extraterrestrials and building flying saucers. Now he is under heavy attack from everyone who self-appointed themselves as VP of common sense. They say he is irresponsible and should know better.
I for one applaud his passion. I would have loved to have a father like that. I want to invite him to become an honorary member of Skytime, consider this an open invitation. He can post everything he's done that deals with sky. This will be great. I'm sure he is swamped right now - but in a couple of month I will be writing him a letter of invitation! - TS

Journey to the Stars

A dazzling show at Hayden Planetarium - great show on its own, but it's even greater for us since the show is produced by an astrophysicist Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, a son of Jackson Mac Low- poet, performance artist, composer and a great friend of Fluxus and Emily Harvey.

He says: "We tried to bring the whole history of the universe and our place in it, and why life exists on earth, all in one show,"

The below is forwarded from Jeep Rosenberg, one of our our Rainbow Makers!

The yacht 'Maiken' was traveling in the south Pacific whe the crew came across a weird sight - It was sand in the water, and the sand was floating ON TOP of the waves... Look at these photos and try to imagine the feeling, the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon close-up.

They were going through the sand floating on top of ocean,

And then... they saw smoke ahead.
