The Mercedes-Benz Museum is an automotive museum housed in Stuttgart, Germany.
Stuttgart is home to the Mercedes-Benz brand and the international headquarters of
Daimler AG. The building, which stands directly outside the main gate of the Daimler
factory in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, was designed by UN Studio. It is based on a unique
cloverleaf concept using three overlapping circles with the centre removed to form a
triangular atrium. The museum was completed and opened in 2006. The building's height
and "double helix" interior were designed to maximise space, providing 16,500 square
metres of exhibition space on a footprint of just 4,800 square metres.
The museum contains more than 160 vehicles, some dating back to the very earliest days
of the motor engine. The museum provides visitors with free audio tours in a variety of
languages. In 2007 the museum was visited by 860,000 people.

The Museum’s sophisticated geometry synthesizes structural and programmatic organizations
resulting in a new landmark building celebrating a legendary car.
The geometric model employed is based on the trefoil organization. The building’s program is
distributed over the surfaces which ascend incrementally from ground level, spiraling around
a central atrium. The Museum experience begins with visitors traveling up through the atrium
to the top floor from where they follow the two main paths that unfold chronologically as they
descend through the building. The two main trajectories, one being the car and truck collection
and the other consisting of historical displays called the Legend rooms, spiral downwards on
the perimeter of the display platforms, intersecting with each other at several points allowing
the visitor to change routes.

The Incredible Flying Man- Người bay khó tin

The Incredible Flying Man- Người bay khó tin

Man, forever obsessed with the dream of flying; Icarus' myth, tried time after time to fly like a bird.

Jet-Man is Yves Rossy (from Switzerland) he is the first man ever to be able to fly following
Icare's dream, with true wings and a jet-pack.

Yves Rossy (born August 27, 1959) is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast.
He invented and is the first person to have flown a jet engine-powered wing strapped
to his back. The flight occurred in November 2006 in Bex, lasting nearly six minutes.
While work with jet packs to propel humans dates back as far as World War II, his is
the first contraption to also have wings.
Yves has served as a fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force flying Dassault Mirage IIIs,
Northrop F-5 Tiger IIs and Hawker Hunters. He flew Boeing 747s for Swissair and now
works as an Airbus pilot for Swiss International Air Lines.

COLD WAR - CHIẾN TRANH LẠNH

The Cold War was the period of conflict, tension and competition between the

United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies from the mid-1940s until the early 1990s. Throughout this period, the rivalry between the two superpowers unfolded in multiple arenas: military coalitions; ideology, psychology, and espionage; sports; military, industrial, and technological developments, including the space race; costly defence spending; a massive conventional and nuclear arms race; and many proxy wars.

There was never a direct military engagement between the US and the Soviet Union, but there was half a century of military buildup as well as political battles for support around the world, including significant involvement of allied and satellite nations in proxy wars. Although the US and the Soviet Union had been allied against Nazi Germany, the two sides differed on how to reconstruct the postwar world even before the end of World War II. Over the following decades, the Cold War spread outside Europe to every region of the world, as the US sought the "containment" of communism and forged numerous alliances to this end, particularly in Western Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. There were repeated crises that threatened to escalate into world wars but never did, notably the Berlin Blockade (1948-49), the Korean War (1950-53), the Vietnam War (1959-1975), the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), and the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-89). There were also periods when tension was reduced as both sides sought détente. Direct military attacks on adversaries were deterred by the potential

for mutual assured destruction using deliverable nuclear weapons. The Cold War drew to a close in the late 1980s following Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan, as well as Gorbachev's launching of reform programs: perestroika and glasnost.

Fly By Wire - Bay trên dây

Fly By Wire - Bay trên dây

Crazy extreme sport for adrenaline junkies in New Zealand. It represents a wire tense
between two mountains and a small vehicle with a propeller, laying in which you can fly
from one mountain to another, at a considerable speed on a 25 minute flight.

You’re the pilot
Feed the control freak inside with the fastest adventure flight in the world, where we put
you firmly in the pilot’s seat. We harness you securely into a purpose-built plane connected
to an overhead suspension point, fire up the engine and winch you into a near vertical release
position… and then it’s all up to you - you’re in charge of the throttle and you’re in charge of the
steering. Feel adrenalin flood your body as you release the tow, diving toward the valley floor
at exhilarating speeds, before you rocket up the other side. Choose when to turn, choose your
line, and choose how fast you want to go, because this is one ride where you’re in control.

Why we’re different
Our focus is customer experience, which means we do whatever it takes to provide the
optimum experience for you. There’s no hurry, limited numbers per trip and allocated spaces
for spectators. Take your time, relax and soak up the spectacular scenery.

How it works
Take a 25 minute van ride through Queenstown mountain scenery to our base in the valley.
Our fully trained ground crew will give you the complete low down during our safety briefing,
and issue you with safety helmets and flight suits. Take your position in the pilot’s seat and we’ll
securely attach you to the plane by a 5 point harness. Now you’re ready to take control.
