We got as far at Lufkin, TX before it was raining so hard that we could not see out of the airplane…

Terrafugia Transition flying car gets a little closer to reality with FAA approval from Engadget by Tim Stevens | If you're a little heavier than your spouse would like, you have two choices: get a new diet, or get a new spouse. However, if you're the Terrafugia Transition flying car and you're a little heavier than the FAA would like, you have a third option: get an exemption. The, uh, car is 120lbs too heavy to fit into the FAA's "light sport" designation, defining craft that can be flown by pilots with only 20 hours of logged seat time. However, the 1,560lb craft was given special exemption, enabling it to continue onward to production. If you haven't been following along, the thing can manage 115mph in the air then land, fold up its wings, and get 30mpg on the highway. If all goes according to plan we should be seeing this car get its big, beautiful self up for sale sometime next year -- all $194,000 worth of it.NASA Marshall Center Achieves 50 Years of Launching the Future of Science and Exploration from Alabama Aviator - Aviation News | HUNTSVILLE AL- From the roar of mighty rocket engines to extraordinary scientific discoveries about our world and our universe, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville AL, stands at the forefront of the nation's space exploration mission -- just as it has done for five decades…
