Mount Everest


This is just another sight that nature has given us. This magnifficent measures out to be 8,848 metres (29,029 ft.). The mountain amazingly grows at least a quarter of an inch a day. I know that that doesn't seem alot but trust me it's just amazing that this mountain also called "The Top Of The World" is getting higher. It is located in China and India.

December 17, 1903


This date is a most historic date indeed. It was the day man was no longer bound by the crippling known as gravity and flew. On this date was the first succesful flight of an airplane. Now of course they did'nt know it at the time but the Wright brothers felt that this was going to work. They tested this on the most questionable of days with the weather being so bad and all and winds up to 22 to 27 miles but it worked and now they're known as legends.

Space Shuttle


Space Shuttle Endeavour slipped out of nice desert sky and touched down safely after a nearly 16-day mission to repair and upgrade the international space station. Stormy weather prevented the shuttles main landing in florida. The crew had to convert the landing to the Edwards air Force Base. The shuttle was transporting a new bathroom, kichenette, exercise machine, two sleeping quarters, and a recycling system that converts astornaunts urine to water.
