Shuttle Atlantis vuelve al Hangar

Una vez el Atlantis completó su misión del mantenimiento del Hubble es hora de llevarlo devuelta a casa en Florida. Dado que el aterrizaje se había realizado en la base Edwards, en California el traslado al otro lado del país se lleva a cabo a bordo de un veterano Boeing 747-100 (de 1978) denominado Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) y cuyo despuegue puede verse en el vídeo Ferry Ride STS 125 (YouTube, 9:49 minutos) y al que durante los primeros segundos de carrera parece que realmente le cuesta levantar el pesado vehículo espacial de casi 70 toneladas.

EL SCA está aligerado al máximo. Pesa vacío menos que un 747 equivalente convencional (144.200 kg vs 162.400 kg) y puede despegar con un peso máximo de 322.000 kg, que es el que prácticamente alcanza sumando el peso del combustible necesario para levantar el vuelo de todo el conjunto. Su autonomía, cuando lleva el Shuttle a cuestas, es de apenas 1.850 km.

Capitán Raymar : Harlock

Captain Harlock ( 宇宙海賊キャプテンハーロック , Uchū Kaizoku Kyaputen Hārokku , lit. Space Pirate Captain Harlock ) is a fictional character created by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto . Harlock is the archetypical romantic hero, a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life. He is as noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoically fighting against totalitarian regimes, whether they be earthborn or alien. In his own words, he "fight[s] for no one's sake... only [...] for something deep in [his] heart". The character first appears in Adventures of a Honeybee . (1953) The first series featuring Harlock in the lead role is 1978's Space Pirate Captain Harlock . As with most of Matsumoto's works, continuity is not a crucial issue.

Killing Moon

Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms to late to beg you Or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine CHORUS: Fate, up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him In starlit nights I saw you So cruelly you kissed me Your lips a magic world The sky all hung with jewels The killing moon Will come too soon
