Sorting out some stuff earlier I found a pile of badges bought at concerts and festivals in the late 70`s and early 80`s. Used to look great on the denim cut-off which I still have but sadly no longer fits. Some great memories here.

Overcast skies didn’t deter the "Mighty Eagle," flying high above the historic F-1 test stand – formerly used to test turbopumps for Saturn first stage engines. Completing this round of flight test objectives, the "Mighty Eagle," a NASA robotic prototype lander, flew to an altitude of 100 feet and descended gently to a controlled landing during a successful free flight Sept. 5 at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
Nicknamed the "Mighty Eagle" after one of the characters in the popular "Angry Birds" game, the vehicle is a three-legged prototype that resembles an actual flight lander design. It is 4 feet tall and 8 feet in diameter and, when fueled, weighs 700 pounds. It is a “green” vehicle, fueled by 90 percent pure hydrogen peroxide, and is guided by an onboard computer that activates the thrusters to power the craft’s movements.

This is the second part and last of my to the moon and back vids. In this video, I take my apollo 11 LEM from tranquility base surface to earth surface. Like if you like! if you are asking to how to fly the nassp apollo; you should find the step by step tutorial i used on ORBITHANGAR (google this) ; its the first one that shows up if you type in ‘apollo 11 tutorial’ in the searchwindow; (it’s a 30 page tutorial with screenshots) good luck on your flight!
Jan. 9, 2013 — Korean researchers believe that the ‘DJ-1 protein’ can be used to promote the formation of new bone tissue in patients suffering from osteoporosis by improving communication between bone making cells (osteoblasts) and blood vessel (endothelial) cells. The research was published in Nature Communications.
Professor Pann-Gill Suh and Dr. Jung-Min Kim at the School of Nano-Bioscience and Chemical Engineering, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) identified DJ-1 as a novel mediator of the cross-talk between osteoblasts and endothelial cells by screening molecules secreted from as yet undifferentiated human skeletal cells. These skeletal cells, also known as mesenchymal stem cells, have the ability to develop into fully fledged bone cells (osteoblasts).
The researchers showed that DJ-1 stimulates the differentiation of the yet undifferentiated skeletal cells into bone cells by activating fibroblasts, cells which in turn ensure connective tissue growth. Working with rodents, they were able to uncover previously undefined extracellular roles of DJ-1, to promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis, suggesting DJ-1 may have therapeutic potential to stimulate bone regeneration.
