| Authors@Google: Christian Lander, "Stuff White People Like" - 2904 sec
Christian Lander visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions." This event took place on July 14, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.
You know who they are: They're white people. And they're here, and you're gonna have to deal. Fortunately, here's a book that investigates, explains, and offers advice for finding social success with the Caucasian persuasion. So kick back on your IKEA couch and lose yourself in the ultimate guide to the unbearable whiteness of being.
Christian Lander is the creator of the website Stuff White People Like. He is a Ph.D. dropout who was the 2006 public speaking instructor of the year at Indiana University. He has lived in Toronto, Montreal, Copenhagen, Tucson, Indiana, and now Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife, Jess, a photographer who contributed many of the photos in the book.

| | The Phoenix Mars Lander - 410 sec
A new space explorer is waiting in the wings and ready to take center stage: the Mars lander called Phoenix. Phoenix's assignment is to dig through the Martian soil and ice in the arctic region and use its onboard scientific instruments to analyze the samples it retrieves.
Mars is a cold desert planet with no liquid water on its surface. But in the Martian arctic, water ice lurks just below ground level. Discoveries made by the Mars Odyssey Orbiter in 2002 show large amounts of subsurface water ice in the northern arctic plain. The Phoenix lander targets this circumpolar region using a robotic arm to dig through the protective top soil layer to the water ice below and ultimately, to bring both soil and water ice to the lander platform for sophisticated scientific analysis.
The complement of the Phoenix spacecraft and its scientific instruments are ideally suited to uncover clues to the geologic history and biological potential of the Martian arctic. Phoenix will be the first mission to return data from either polar region providing an important contribution to the overall Mars science strategy "Follow the Water" and will be instrumental in achieving the four science goals of NASA's long-term Mars Exploration Program.
- Determine whether Life ever arose on Mars
- Characterize the Climate of Mars
- Characterize the Geology of Mars
- Prepare for Human Exploration The Phoenix Mission has two bold objectives to support these goals, which are to (1) study the history of water in the Martian arctic and (2) search for evidence of a habitable zone and assess the biological potential of the ice-soil boundary.
Aboard the deck of the Phoenix spacecraft are a suite of science instruments representing some of the most sophisticated and advanced technology ever sent to Mars. The Phoenix Mission inherits a highly capable spacecraft partially built for the Mars Surveyor Program 2001 and important lessons learned from the Mars Polar Lander.
The spacecraft has several subsystems that are being updated, if necessary, with parts and software that will increase reliability. These subsystems include
- command and data handling, controlling the spacecraft's computer processing
- electrical power, consisting of solar panels, batteries, and associated converting circuits
- telecommunications, ensuring flow of data to and from Earth
- guidance, navigation, and control, assuring the spacecraft arrives safely at Mars
- propulsion, controlling trajectory correction maneuvers during cruise and thrusters during landing
- structure, providing the spacecraft framework and integrity
- mechanisms, enabling the movement of several spacecraft components
- thermal-control, using heat transfer to ensure proper temperature ranges on all parts of the spacecraft.
Launch Vehicle: Delta II
Launch Location: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida
Launch Pad: Space Launch Complex 17-A
Launch Date: Aug. 3, 2007
Launch Time: 5:35:18 a.m. EDT
The Delta II is designed to boost medium-sized satellites and robotic explorers into space. NASA selected a model 7925 for this mission, which is a three-stage rocket equipped with nine strap-on solid rocket boosters and a 10-foot payload fairing that will protect the spacecraft during launch.

Flight of The Phoenix (Lander)
==============================
Much like its namesake, the Phoenix Lander will allow a neglected piece of Mars hardware to rise from the ashes of a failed mission. The Phoenix lander will be the first Scout mission launched by NASA, with a takeoff date of 2007 and a funding cap of $300 million for the mission.
This is a dramatization of that flight, created with Orbiter Space Flight Simulator and selected add-ons.

| | Mars Lander Activities Slightly Delayed - 90 sec
TechnologyMars Lander Activities Slightly DelayedMars Lander Activities Slightly DelayedThe Associated PressNASA officials say plans for the Phoenix Mars Lander's second day of activities on Mars have been delayed. (May 27)NASA showed off new images taken from the Phoenix Mars Lander, but space administration officials say they had to delay activities planned for Tuesday. NASA says a communications radio in spacecraft orbiting Mars shut itself off. That has temporarily cut off communications between earth and the lander.(SOT: FUK LI/NASA)(14:02;22) PHOENIX IS HEALTHY. EVERYTHING IS FINE. Officials expect the radio to come back on without any problems. The communications glitch has forced NASA to put off deployment of the lander's robotic arm until, at least, Wednesday. NASA did unveil new photos of the eight-foot arm. They say it's in good shape and looks just like it did when they last saw it on earth. Among the new photos released, more detailed images of where Phoenix put down.(SOT: PETER SMITH)(14:17:40) ALL OF THIS IS PRIME DIGGING AREA. YOU SEE SOME STREAKS THAT PROBABLY CAME FROM THE THRUSTERS AS WE CAME DOWN TO THE SURFACE. One image shows Phoenix with its striking blue solar arrays deployed.(PETER SMITH)(14:18;11) THIS IS A PLACE WE'RE GOING TO GET TO KNOW VERY WELL OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. Phoenix landed closer to the planet's north pole than any other spacecraft. It will explore the history of the water in the ice that's believed to be under the soil. It will also look for carbon-bearing compounds. Carbon is a fundamental element for life.(SOT: PETER SMITH/UNIVERSITY OF ARIZON)(14;20:52) WE'RE VERY PROUD TO BE MAKING SUCH GOOD PROGRESS. IT'S ONLY BEEN A DAY AND A HALF SINCE WE'VE LANDED. 59 WE'RE ALREADY GETTING A GOOD SENSE OF WHAT THE SPACE IS AROUND OUR LANDER.Phoenix will use it's robotic arm to scoop up soils and rock for analysis. A camera on the arm will provide close up color images of the soil and ice. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

| | Onboard Video of Lunar Lander Challenger Ignignokt - 27 sec
TrueZer0's craft Ignignokt had a launch abort during its flight in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, resulting in a total vehicle casualty.
The flight was not a total loss, though, in that an incredible amount of data was gathered about the vehicle during its flight. Here is the onboard flight camera, which offers some insight into what went wrong. Notice that shortly after takeoff, the vehicle begins spinning, likely due to a vortex created in the peroxide engine.
