Sailing away

Posted on by • Tagged , , , , , , , , , , • Leave a comment

Today, the Solar Sailplane Sailor Solicitors announced their plans for a new way to experience flight.

A helium balloon will quickly raise you and 15 of your closest mates to heights rarely attained, save by Red Bull Stratos daredevils, and then, as the balloon bursts, you will begin an around-[most part of]the-world flight in a solar-powered plane designed to gently carry you through stratospheric atmospheric conditions, landing you hundreds if not thousands of kilometers from your launch location.

Lunch will be served during the flight but water closet facilities will not be provided.  Please be prepared to account for this inconsistent discrepancy in travel comfort.

For those willing to spend a little less money but take on greater risk, we’re offering a one-time deal for you to participate in test flights, your return to Earth guaranteed but your bodily condition not.

Hurry!  Seating is limited!

NOTE: Due to the inherent danger involved, travel insurance is unavailable.  We highly recommend planning funeral arrangements in advance.

Clarification from Caron St. John, PhD

Entrepreneurship definition clarified via email from Dr. Caron St. John, dean of the College of Business Administration, UAH:

Our definition is a common one, used by Harvard and many other universities — entrepreneurship involves recognizing an opportunity and then, in spite of uncertainty and scare resources, organizing a response.  Taking action.  We don’t define it as “starting a new business” — because it doesn’t have to be wholly new and it doesn’t have to be a business (could be a not-for-profit).

On today’s agenda:

  • Take apart LED camping lantern to determine how to “animate” the LED matrix as eyes for the sculpture.
  • Work on adding more “arms” to the sculpture.
  • Mentally investigate how to incorporate smoke machine and smokestack into sculpture, giving effect of steam-based mechanised being supplemented with digital operations.

Flashback Lyrics for the Day

Tin Man:

Sometimes late
When things are real
And the people share the gift of gab
Between themselves

Some are quick
To take the bait
And the catch the perfect prize
That waits among the shells

But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn’t, didn’t already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please
Believe in me
When I say I’m spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain’d bright colors
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsud green like bubbles

Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn’t, didn’t already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please
Believe in me
When I say I’m spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain’d bright colors
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsud green like bubbles

No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn’t, didn’t already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me
