I actually got to be on Iwo Jima for two days. It was one of the most amazing and eye opening experience of my life.
Read the book and then got to go so it was even cooler.

This 1932 photo by fearless photographer Charles C. Ebbets shows workmen eating lunch on the 69th floor of the GE Building during the construction of Rockefeller Center. The photo was originally published in the New York Herald Tribune. Notice that the worker on the far right is holding what looks like a liquor flask. I guess it gets chilly up there.

In additions to his daring work as a photographer, Ebbets worked as a pilot, a race car driver, and a professional wrestler.

http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9610/10/feynmen/challenger.explosion.lg.jpg

Most people don't know that most astronauts survived the explosion were conscious and pulled the handle for emergency oxygen.. unfortunately the breakaway section didn't have the oxygen on board and their suits won't account for pressurized oxygen. the pressurized 02 was in the exploded bits.

They eventually fainted from the lack of oxygen and when the cockpit capsule finally plumeted from 65,000+ feet and hit the water they were tore into pieces by their safety belts from the sudden stop.


Rumor has it around kennedy that the cockpit along with most of the small bits of the crew is burried along the casuseway out there.

another space shuttle lost..

im sure we all remember this.

rom its original launch date of 11 January (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_11) 2001 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001) to its actual launch date of 16 January (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_16) 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003). A well-publicized launch delay due to cracks in the shuttle's propellant distribution system occurred one month before a 19 July (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_19) 2002 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002) launch date, but the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Accident_Investigation_Board) (CAIB) determined that this delay had nothing to do with the catastrophic failure six months later. The Left Bipod Foam Ramp is an approximately three-foot (one-meter) piece made entirely of foam, as opposed to being a metal ramp that is merely coated with foam. As such, the foam, not normally considered to be a structural material, is required to bear some aerodynamic loads. Because of these special requirements, the casting-in-place and curing of the ramps may be performed only by a senior technician.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster#_note-CoF) The shuttle's main fuel tank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_external_tank) is covered in foam as an insulator, to avoid ice forming on it when full of liquid hydrogen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_hydrogen) and oxygen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen), which itself could damage the shuttle when shed during lift-off.
Bipod Foam Ramps had fallen off on at least three previous flights, with at least one previous strike that caused no serious damage; NASA management came to refer to this phenomenon as "foam shedding." As with the O-ring erosions that ultimately doomed the Challenger, NASA management became accustomed to these phenomena when no serious consequences resulted from these earlier episodes. This phenomenon was termed "normalization of deviance" by anthropologist Diane Vaughan in her book on the Challenger launch decision process (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_launch_decision).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia_disaster#_note-0)
Video taken during lift-off of STS-107 was routinely reviewed two hours later and revealed nothing unusual. The following day, higher-resolution film that had been processed overnight revealed that a piece of insulation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_insulation) foam fell from the external fuel tank 81.9 seconds into the launch sequence and appeared to strike the shuttle's left wing, potentially damaging the thermal protection on the Space Shuttle. The exact location where the foam struck the wing could not be determined due to the low resolution of the tracking camera footage.



The following is a timeline of Columbia's re-entry. The shuttle was scheduled to land at 9:16 a.m. EST.
2:30 a.m. EST, Saturday, February 1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1), 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003) – The Entry Flight Control Team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_controller) began duty in the Mission Control Center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Control_Center). The Flight Control Team had not been working on any issues or problems related to the planned de-orbit and re-entry of Columbia. In particular, the team had indicated no concerns about the debris impact to the left wing during ascent, and treated the re-entry like any other. The team worked through the de-orbit preparation checklist and re-entry checklist procedures. Weather forecasters, with the help of pilots in the Shuttle Training Aircraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle_Training_Aircraft), evaluated landing-site weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center.
8:00 – Mission Control Center Entry Flight Director Leroy Cain polled the Mission Control room for a GO/NO-GO decision for the de-orbit burn. All weather observations and forecasts were within guidelines set by the flight rules, and all systems were normal.
8:10 – The Capsule Communicator notified the crew that they are GO for de-orbit burn.
8:15:30 (EI-1719) – Commander Husband and Pilot McCool executed the de-orbit burn using Columbia’s two Orbital Maneuvering System engines. The Orbiter was upside down and tail-first over the Indian Ocean at an altitude of 175 statute miles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile) (282 km) when the burn was executed. The de-orbit maneuver was performed on the 255th orbit, and the 2-minute, 38-second burn slowed the Orbiter from 17,500 mph (7.8 km/s) to begin its re-entry into the atmosphere. During the de-orbit burn, the crew felt about 10% of the effects of gravity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity). There were no problems during the burn, after which Husband maneuvered Columbia into a right-side-up, forward-facing position, with the Orbiter's nose pitched up.
8:44:09 (EI+000) – Entry Interface (EI), arbitrarily defined as the point at which the Orbiter enters the discernible atmosphere at 400,000 feet (120 km or 76 mi), occurred over the Pacific Ocean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ocean). As Columbia descended from space into the atmosphere, the heat produced by air molecules colliding with the Orbiter typically caused wing leading-edge temperatures to rise steadily, reaching an estimated 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,400 °C) during the next six minutes.
8:48:39 (EI+270) – A sensor on the left wing leading edge spar showed strains higher than those seen on previous Columbia re-entries. This was recorded only on the Modular Auxiliary Data System, and was not telemetered to ground controllers or displayed to the crew.
8:49:32 (EI+323) – Columbia executed a pre-planned roll to the right. Speed: Mach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number) 24.5. Columbia began a banking turn to manage lift and therefore limit the Orbiter's rate of descent and heating.
8:50:53 (EI+404) – Columbia entered a 10-minute period of peak heating, during which the thermal stresses were at their maximum. Speed: Mach 24.1; altitude: 243,000 feet (74 km).http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/STS-107_Columbia_entry_imaged_from_ground.jpg/250px-STS-107_Columbia_entry_imaged_from_ground.jpg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:STS-107_Columbia_entry_imaged_from_ground.jpg) http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:STS-107_Columbia_entry_imaged_from_ground.jpg)
Columbia at approximately 0857. Debris is visible coming off from the left wing (bottom).


8:52:00 (EI+471) – Columbia was approximately 300 miles (500 km) west of the California coastline. The wing leading-edge temperatures usually reached 2,650 degrees Fahrenheit (1,450 °C) at this point.
8:53:26 (EI+557) – Columbia crossed the California coast west of Sacramento. Speed: Mach 23; altitude: 231,600 feet (70.6 km).http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Columbia_debris_detected_by_radar.jpg/250px-Columbia_debris_detected_by_radar.jpg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Columbia_debris_detected_by_radar.jpg) http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Columbia_debris_detected_by_radar.jpg)
Columbia debris (in red, orange, and yellow) detected by National Weather Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Weather_Service) radar over Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas) and Louisiana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana).

A makeshift memorial at the main entrance to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston%2C_Texas)


The Orbiter's wing leading edge typically reached more than 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,540 °C) at this point.
8:53:46 (EI+597) – Signs of debris being shed were sighted. Speed: Mach 22.8; altitude: 230,200 feet (70.2 km). The superheated air surrounding the Orbiter suddenly brightened, causing a noticeable streak in the Orbiter's luminescent trail. Observers witnessed another four similar events during the following 23 seconds.
8:54:24 (EI+613) – The Maintenance, Mechanical, and Crew Systems (MMACS) officer informed the Flight Director that four hydraulic sensors in the left wing were indicating "off-scale low." In Mission Control, re-entry had been proceeding normally up to this point. "Off-scale low" is a reading that falls below the minimum capability of the sensor.The Entry Team continued to discuss the failed indicators.
8:54:25 (EI+614) – Columbia crossed from California into Nevada airspace. Speed: Mach 22.5; altitude: 227,400 feet (69.3 km). Witnesses observed a bright flash at this point and 18 similar events in the next four minutes.
8:55:00 (EI+651) – Nearly 11 minutes after Columbia re-entered the atmosphere, wing leading-edge temperatures normally reached nearly 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,650 °C).
8:55:32 (EI+683) – Columbia crossed from Nevada into Utah. Speed: Mach 21.8; altitude: 223,400 ft (68 km).
8:55:52 (EI+703) – Columbia crossed from Utah into Arizona.
8:56:30 (EI+741) – Columbia initiated a roll reversal, turning from right to left over Arizona.
8:56:45 (EI+756) – Columbia crossed from Arizona to New Mexico. Speed: Mach 20.9; altitude: 219,000 feet (67,000 m).
8:57:24 (EI+795) – Columbia crossed just north of Albuquerque.
8:58:00 (EI+831) – At this point, wing leading-edge temperatures typically decreased to 2,880 degrees Fahrenheit (1,580 °C).
8:58:20 (EI+851) – Columbia crossed from New Mexico into Texas. Speed: Mach 19.5; altitude: 209,800 feet (64 km). At about this time, the Orbiter shed a Thermal Protection System tile, the most westerly piece of debris that has been recovered. Searchers found the tile in a field in Littlefield, Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlefield%2C_Texas), just northwest of Lubbock.
8:59:15 (EI+906) – MMACS informed the Flight Director that pressure readings had been lost on both left main landing-gear tires. The Flight Director then told the Capsule Communicator (CAPCOM) to let the crew know that Mission Control saw the messages and was evaluating the indications, and added that the Flight Control Team did not understand the crew's last transmission.
8:59:32 (EI+923) – A broken response from the mission commander was recorded: "Roger, uh, bu - [cut off in mid-word] ..." It was the last communication from the crew and the last telemetry signal received in Mission Control.
9:00:18 (EI+969) – Videos made by observers on the ground revealed that the Orbiter was disintegrating. In Mission Control, while the loss of signal was a cause for concern, there was no sign of any serious problem.
9:05 – Residents of north central Texas reported a loud boom, a small concussion wave, smoke trails and debris in the clear skies above the counties southeast of Dallas.
9:12:39 (EI+1710) – After hearing of reports of the shuttle being seen to break apart, the NASA flight director declared a contingency (events leading to loss of the vehicle) and alerted search and rescue teams in the debris area. He told the Ground Controller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_controller) to "lock the doors", and two minutes later put Mission Control contingency procedures into effect. Nobody was permitted to enter or leave the room, and flight controllers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_controller) had to preserve all the mission data for later investigation
figure this..

8:55:32 (EI+683) – Columbia crossed from Nevada into Utah. Speed: Mach 21.8; altitude: 223,400 ft (68 km).
8:55:52 (EI+703) – Columbia crossed from Utah into Arizona.20 seconds to clear a whole state. amazing

El Jesus Negro de Esquipulas. "The Black Jesus" of Esquipulas.
Esquipulas is a popular tourist destination in Guatemala. It's famous for it's Holy Week festivities and it's chuch house this figure. The idea that Jesus could possibly be not white made a huge impression on me as a kid. It probably started me out on my path to becoming agnostic.

This had a World-wide impact, but had a huge impact on our City of Milwaukee.

EDIT: That is Jeffrey Dahmer for the kiddies too young to know who he is. One of histories most disturbing serial killers.

This is THE PHOTOGRAPH that changed the world
http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/wfp/images/1d.jpg
*reproduction


~Long before the first public announcements of photographic processes in 1839, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, a scientifically-minded gentleman living on his country estate near Chalon-sur-Saône, France, began experimenting with photography. Fascinated with the craze for the newly-invented art of lithography which swept over France in 1813, he began his initial experiments by 1816. Unable to draw well, Niépce first placed engravings, made transparent, onto engraving stones or glass plates coated with a light-sensitive varnish of his own composition. These experiments, together with his application of the then-popular optical instrument, the camera obscura, would eventually lead him to the invention of the new medium.

In 1824 Niépce met with some degree of success in copying engravings, but it would be two years later before he had success utilizing pewter plates as the support medium for the process. By the summer of that year, 1826, Niépce was ready. In the window of his upper-story workroom at his Saint-Loup-de-Varennes country house, Le Gras, he set up a camera obscura, placed within it a polished pewter plate coated with bitumen of Judea (an asphalt derivative of petroleum), and uncapped the lens. After at least a day-long exposure of eight hours, the plate was removed and the latent image of the view from the window was rendered visible by washing it with a mixture of oil of lavender and white petroleum which dissolved away the parts of the bitumen which had not been hardened by light. The result was the permanent direct positive picture you see here—a one-of-a-kind photograph on pewter. It renders a view of the outbuildings, courtyard, trees and landscape as seen from that upstairs window~ Taken from http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/wfp/ (http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/wfp/)

Wow, this picture is incredibly powerful and saddening. Good post man

Yeah dude. I mean i wasn't alive during that time but my dad says growing up as a small kid was hard. Since we're hispanic (fourth Gen. myself) he didn't know which way to go. He said if he hung out with his black friends he would get punked and beat up the next day. Its tough man stuff still hasn't changed around here though.

Wouldn't this thread go downhill if someone such as myself said that Elvis sucks and is nothing more than a drug addict.

Mmm.

That would be a shame.

The Berlin wall pictures are definitely ones that have impact on the world.

As a student and an artist there was one picture that changed my entire out look on art and made me much more driven to being a serious artist and taking my art seriously. I can not post it because it is NWS but the work is by artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres titled La Source. I remember how I always used to think that nudes were done out of lust but it was this painting that changed my entire out look on renaissance art and the nude. I relaized that ever body has its own beauty in art not just those we think are hot, lust after or desire. The artist is ispired by the femininity of the model and the character she has nobody else has.

That is a truly amazing painting...I have to concur. Also, the statue of David Changed the art world.
