Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882-1945). Dr. Goddard has been recognized as the father of American rocketry and as one of the pioneers in the theoretical exploration of space. Robert Hutchings Goddard, born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on October 5, 1882, was theoretical scientist as well as a practical engineer. His dream was the conquest of the upper atmosphere and ultimately space through the use of rocket propulsion. Dr. Goddard died in 1945, but was probably as responsible for the dawning of the Space Age as the Wrights were for the beginning of the Air Age. Yet his work attracted little serious attention during his lifetime.

" Floating island " rescue
Six men were rescued from the experimental " floating isalnd " of underwater explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau after fire broke out in the " vertical submarine " today .
Earlier , planes which flew over the island - situated between Nice and Corsica - had reported signs of possible fire , after the island had not replied to radio messages since last Friday night .
The " island " is in effect , a giant buoy , or , as Cousteau described it , a " vertical submarine " , it is comprised of a steel cylinder 220 ft long and about 10 feet diameter , capped by a platform 30 ft long by 15 ft . The 225 ton apparatus is anchored by sturdy nylon cables attached to a six ton mass of iron. All but about 20 feet of the cylinder is submerged .

Dragon fire
Dragon fire.
SpaceXÕs Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Dragon spits fire as it lifts off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, 23 April at 05:49 local time. On board are ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.
The crew of four spent around 23 hours orbiting Earth and catching up with the International Space Station after their launch before docking to the Node-2 Harmony module, marking the start of ESAÕs six-month mission Alpha.
Thomas is the first European to be launched to space on a US spacecraft in over a decade. The new Crew Dragon ships four astronauts at a time, allowing more people to live and work on the International Space Station doing more research for scientists on Earth.
Alpha is ThomasÕ second space mission, and everything is set to be bigger and brighter. A Russian laboratory module, scheduled to arrive in the summer with a European robotic arm, will offer more ways of maintaining the International Space Station and supporting spacewalkers as they work outside. Thomas will help set up this arm and prepare it for use during the Alpha mission.
Over 200 international experiments are planned during ThomasÕ time in space. Of the 40 European ones, 12 are new experiments led by the French space agency CNES.
At the end of the Alpha mission in October, Thomas will take over commander of the International Space Station for a brief period and welcome ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer on his first flight to space.

Charles Robert Darwin (1809 -1896) was a British naturalist who achieved lasting fame as the originator of the theory of evolution through natural selection. Darwin's five-year voyage on the Beagle brought him eminence as a geologist and fame as a popular author. His biological observations led him to study the transmutation of species and develop his theory of natural selection in 1838. His 1859 book, "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection," or "The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life," established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific theory of diversification in nature.

They started with the western coast between the Swan River (modern Perth, Australia) and the Fitzroy River, Western Australia, then surveyed both shores of the Bass Strait at the southeast corner of the continent. In May 1840, the Beagle left Sydney to cruise on the north coast. After a pleasant visit to Hobart, Tasmania the Beagle sailed to King George's Sound in south west Australia.

Space embrace
Space embrace.
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, according to one of the three laws of robotics imagined by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. On board humanity’s only outpost in space, this obedience has turned into cooperation. Astronauts and robots are working together.
The latest robot to service the International Space Station is the European Robotic Arm (ERA). This android automaton is much like a human arm. It has an elbow, shoulders and even wrists, and it the first robot able to ‘walk’ around the Russian part of the Space Station.
The arm will be launched into space together with the Multipurpose Laboratory Module, called ‘Nauka’, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, in Kazakhstan, on 15 July 2021 at 19:18 CEST.
ESA astronaut André Kuipers is seen in this picture during his first space mission in 2004, with a scale model of the European Robotic Arm. The real thing has a length of over 11 m, and has the ability to anchor itself to the Station in multiple locations, moving backwards and forwards with a large range of motion.
“I am happy to see the European Robotic Arm fly next month. It was a real pleasure to help prepare this fantastic piece of robotics for its duties on the International Space Station”, says André, who trained under water with a real-size model of the robot at Star City, in Russia, before his spaceflight.
Astronauts will find in ERA a most valuable ally – it will save them precious time to do other work in space. ERA will transfer payloads from inside to outside the International Space Station, but it will also help spacewalkers by transporting them around like a cherry-picker crane.
The crew can control ERA from both inside and outside the Space Station, a feature that no other robotic arm has offered before. The robotic arm can perform many tasks automatically, and (FOTO: DUKAS/EYEVINE)

Hugo Chavez's Venezuela
In President Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, where images of infamous Argentine revolutionary, Che Guevara are becoming almost as ubiquitous as those of Chavez himself, opinions are split as to the success of his 'Bolivaran Revolution.' Supporters of the nation's current government point to the recent empowerment of the poor, while critics contend that Venezuela has become nothing more than the younger sibling of the Cuban Revolution, ruled by an autocratic leader who has bungled the economy. ///
Oil workers explore the area near La Oficina, or 'The Office,' in the Orinoco belt in Venezuela. The area is the fastest growing oil region in Venezuela which provides 15% of the U.S. oil supply.
