  • Tourists af the openhouse at Site Trinity, ground zero, on the White Sands Missile Range in S. New Mexico. Site of the world's first atomic explosiion on August 6, 1945. The atomic bomb was developed by the Manhatten Project. The Manhattan Project refers to the effort during World War II by the United States, in collaboration with the United Kingdom, Canada, and other European physicists, to develop the first nuclear weapons. Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineering District (MED), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1942-1946 under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves, with its scientific research directed by the American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. The project succeeded in developing and detonating three nuclear weapons in 1945: a test detonation on July 16 (the Trinity test) near Alamogordo, New Mexico; an enriched uranium bomb code-named "Little Boy" detonated on August 6 over Hiroshima, Japan; and a plutonium bomb code-named "Fat Man" on August 9 over Nagasaki, Japan.

  • Experimental cryonics: Paul Segall in his garage laboratory in Berkeley, California, with his family and Miles, a beagle. Segall replaced Miles' blood with a substitute before cooling him to 37.4 degrees & disconnecting a heart lung machine. After 15 minutes, during which Miles' pulse, breathing & circulation had ceased, the dog was warmed, its blood returned & Miles was restored to health.  Human cryonics clients are frozen & preserved in liquid nitrogen to await the advances in medical science that a future thaw might bring about. However, conventional cryobiology methods for freezing organs are plagued by problems of intracellular ice formation, which destroys cells. Cryonics is a speculative life support technology that seeks to preserve human life in a state that will be viable and treatable by future medicine. MODEL RELEASED 1987..

  • A helicopter sprays flowers grown for seed: Lompoc, California. USA. The Lompoc Valley is said to have the most consistent temperate climate in the world, which is a critical factor in the cultivation of flowers.  The valley has been a flower seed-producing region for nearly 100 years. In the early 1980's, Lompoc Valley was producing one-third of the world's flower seeds.  Lompoc is a 12-mile-long, and 3-mile-wide valley, which lies just inland from the coast of California, about 150 miles north of Los Angeles. There are 1600 acres of 600 varieties of flowers from which they harvest approximately 400 tons of seeds each year. Crop dusting of flower fields (spraying pesticides).

  • Skycar. M400 Skycar, developed by Paul Moller, founder and CEO of Moller International in Davis, California. According to Moller, it is able to be driven as a normal car, but also has four large turbofans, which provide the thrust to lift it into the air. Once in the air, the fans turn backwards to propel the skycar like an airplane. The Moller team says it will be able to reach speeds of up to 375 miles (600 kilometers) per hour. A computer will actually control the craft, meaning it will require little training. It contains 4160 HP (rotary) freedom engines. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Exemplifying the attempts by Japanese researchers to put a friendly face on their robots, DB's creators are teaching it the Kacha-shi, an Okinawan folk dance. Unlike most robots, DB did not acquire the dance by being programmed. Instead, it observed human dancers?project researchers, actually, and repeatedly attempted to mimic their behavior until it was successful. Project member Stefan Schaal, a neurophysicist at the University of Southern California (in red shirt), believes that by means of this learning process robots will ultimately develop a more flexible intelligence. It will also lead, he hopes, to a better understanding of the human brain. The DB project is funded by the Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology (ERATO) Humanoid Project and led by independent researcher Mitsuo Kawato. Based at a research facility 30 miles outside of Kyoto, Japan. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 51.
