McLaren P1 Supercar

With the McLaren P1 supercar, the British sports car builder has designed one of the fastest vehicles ever built. The P1 has a limited top speed of 217 mph, but will hit 60 mph in well under 3 seconds, and at a price of $1.3 million each, the P1 will be limited to 375 copies.

SpaceX working to fix Dragon capsule's thrusters

--> --> CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A commercial craft carrying a ton of supplies for the International Space Station ran into thruster trouble shortly after liftoff Friday, and flight controllers scrambled to fix the problem.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk said three of the four sets of thrusters on the company's unmanned Dragon capsule did not immediately kick in, delaying the release of twin solar panels for two hours.

The company said in a statement that a fuel valve was at fault, and that two sets of thrusters were needed before the Dragon could begin the maneuvers needed to get to the space station.

But more than four hours after the launch, there was no word on whether any more thrusters were working. And as the afternoon wore on, Saturday's planned rendezvous with the space station became less likely. SpaceX and NASA hastily called a news conference for mid-afternoon.

The capsule is equipped with 18 thrusters, divided into four sets, and can maneuver adequately even if they aren't all working.

The problem cropped up following Dragon's separation from the rocket upper stage, nine minutes into the flight. The liftoff was right on time and appeared to go flawlessly; the previous Falcon launch in October suffered a single engine failure that resulted in the loss of a communications satellite that was hitching a ride on the rocket.

This is the first major trouble to strike a Dragon in orbit. Two similar capsules, launched last year, had no problem getting to the orbiting lab.

More than 1 ton of space station supplies is aboard this Dragon, including some much-needed equipment for air purifiers.

NASA's Mission Control informed the six-man crew that the Dragon would be passing directly beneath the space station in the afternoon, and urged them to keep a lookout.

"Maybe you can ask it to breathe a little fire as we go over top," commander Kevin Ford jokingly told controllers in Houston.

SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA for 12 deliveries to restock the space station, and hopes the venture will lead to transporting astronauts there in a few years. A company-sponsored demo mission kicked everything off last May.

Launch controllers applauded and gave high-fives to one another, once the spacecraft safely reached orbit. The successful separation of the Dragon from the rocket was broadcast live on NASA TV; on-board cameras provided the unique views nine minutes into the flight.

Then the trouble struck, and the coverage ended.

The California-based SpaceX, run by the billionaire who helped create PayPal, is in charge of the flight, until it gets near the space station. Then NASA calls the shots.

The space station was orbiting 250 miles above the Atlantic, just off the New England coast, when the Falcon soared. Astronauts are to use a hefty robot arm to draw the Dragon in and dock it to the station.

SpaceX tucked fresh fruit into the Dragon for the station residents; the apples and other treats are straight from the orchard of an employee's family. Also on board: 640 seeds of a flowering weed used for research, mouse stems cells, protein crystals, astronaut meals and clothing, trash bags, air-purifying devices, computer parts and other gear.

NASA's deputy administrator, Lori Garver, said using commercial providers is more efficient for the space agency. It's part of a long-term program, she noted, that has NASA spending less money on low-Earth orbit and investing more in deep-space missions. That's one reason why the space shuttles were retired in 2011 after the station was completed.

The goal is to have SpaceX, or Space Exploration Technologies Corp., and other private firms take over the job of ferrying astronauts to and from the space station in the next few years.

SpaceX — so far the leader of the pack — is aiming for a manned Dragon flight by 2015.

Competitor Orbital Sciences Corp. has yet to get off its Virginia launch pad. The company plans to launch a free-flying test of its Antares rocket and Cygnus supply ship in April, followed by a demo run to the space station in early summer. Then the so-called operational supply runs can begin.

Russia, Japan and Europe regularly make station deliveries as well, and Russia is the only option for astronaut rides. But only the Dragon is designed to bring back substantial amounts of research and used merchandise.

This Dragon is scheduled to spend more than three weeks at the space station before being cut loose by the crew on March 25. It will parachute into the Pacific with more than a ton of medical samples, plant and cell specimens, Japanese fish and old machinery, and used spacewalking gloves and other items.

SpaceX plans to launch its next Dragon to the station in late fall.

More than 2,000 guests jammed the Cape Canaveral launch site Friday morning to watch the Falcon take flight. It wasn't much of a show because of all the clouds.

Mercedes-Benz reveals the G63 AMG 6×6, a six-wheel-drive luxo SUV

The inevitable has happened.

There are only so many possible permutations of a metal box on four wheels designed to go fast over any terrain, and from the Jeep Wrangler to the Range Rover, all of them have been explored in some degree with varying levels of ability and luxury. It was only a matter of time before a group of mad engineers gathered together and said "Screw it, let's go six-wheel-drive."

Those engineers work for Mercedes-Benz, and this creation, the G63 AMG 6x6, isn't a concept, but a luxury SUV that the German automaker will build for a handful of wealthy customers.

Six-wheel-drive trucks have been in military and commercial use for decades; Mercedes made a few for use before World War II, and its commercial division has supplied a 6x6 version of the old Gelandewagen to Austrian forces since 2011.

But that truck features a bare metal cabin and power from a 185-hp diesel. The AMG engineers swapped the drivetrain from the G63 AMG, featuring a 5.5-liter, twin-turbo V-8 good for 536 hp, mated to a seven-speed transmission, good enough to hustle the 8,300-lb. juggernaut to 60 mph in about six seconds. Inside, there's room for four passengers to ride in a tableau of luxury, from the quilted white leather seats and carbon-fiber accented dash to the bamboo-lined cargo area.

As for the six wheels, they're not just for show. AMG splits the torque 30/40/30 among the axles from front to rear for maximum traction, with locking differentials for all 37-inch wheels; the 6x6 can ford water more than three feet deep and its 52-degree approach angle means it will climb most anything short of a sheer cliff face. For desert travels, the tires can be inflated and deflated from a panel in the cabin.

Sneaky Fast new cars Models

byways at 10 mph over the speed limit and you're asking for a ticket. Do the same in a Honda Accord and Smoky might not even see you. Call it the Hot-Car Tax. And since complaining about it likely won't have much affect, here are eight alternative rides that are quick, handsome (though never flashy), and won't torture you at the pump.

Ford Focus SE Hatchback
Price: $19,995
0 to 60: 7.4 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 26/36

The chassis of the latest Focus is fantastic, and it's remarkable that Ford is able to repurpose this platform for so many other vehicles. The car is solid on highway hauls, forgiving over massacred pavement, yet capable in corners. The steering, too, is sharp without being high-strung. But you'd better vote manual gearbox or you'll be missing out on half the party.

The Focus is a great little speedster that is the opposite of a Golf (especially a GTI): Cops don't see a Focus and think "tuner," and that's exactly why it belongs here.

Hyundai Elantra GT
Price: $18,545
0 to 60: 8.3 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 26/37

We hear all the time that Americans don't buy hatchbacks. Wrong. Every crossover in America is a hatchback in diguise (especially now that so many of them are sinking back to carlike ride heights), so hatchbacks rule the road. Part of the reason we love these cars is that a carmaker can squeeze more utility out of a smaller vehicle by adding a fifth door. This is why the Elantra GT is appealing. It's a compact sedan with extraordinary utility, plus 51 cubic feet of storage space with the rear seats folded (the latest lot of small crossovers coming along don't do much better). The Hyundai boasts excellent fuel economy too.

The Elantra may not beat its competitors to 60 mph, but unlike a lot of midsize and compact sedans, it will stand up to a reduced-radius on-ramp at 70 mph with minimal lean and highly predictable steering. For more grip, ditch the all-seasons in favor of summer performance tires.

Hyundai and Kia designs are growing exceedingly easy on the eye, prompting people to react to cars like the Elantra GT with, "but that doesn't look like a Hyundai." That lingering bias against the brand could be your friend, allowing you to drive on by while a car with more prestige gets pulled over.

Mazda 3i SkyActiv
Price: $19,495
0 to 60: 7.9 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy
(city/highway): 27/39

The fact that you can get a Focus-size Mazda 3i with a five-speed manual for $15,200 should make a lot of budget-conscious driving enthusiasts happy. But the 3 you want gets the direct-injected SkyActiv engine, which is more fuel-efficient and adds a sixth gear. Like the Elantra GT, the 3i doesn't stake its driving reputation on horsepower; it's here because it's probably the most engaging compact sedan for the money. Steering, transmission, handling—they all come up face cards if not outright aces on the 3i.

Just get it in a mild-mannered color so the flashy looks don't attract unwanted attention from law enforcement. Sensible people drive silver Mazdas. Speeders drive bright orange ones.

Lexus GS450h
Price: $59,845
0 to 60: 5.6 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 29/34

Yeah, that's a lot of bones for a hybrid, but we're talking about one of the highest-performance hybrid cars you can buy. The combo of a 3.5-liter Atkinson cycle direct-injection V-6 and a pair of electric motors adds up to 338 hp, an eye-popping time off the line, and acceleration on par with or better than many of its conventionally powered competitors.

The 450h is only 0.2 seconds slower to 60 mph than the fastest GS, yet the best gas-powered version of this car only manages 19/28 fuel economy. It might take you a while to earn back the extra money you spent on the hybrid through fuel savings, but Lexus is betting that a good many customers are willing to pay the premium, and don't want to suffer the horrid fuel economy a V-8 delivers in stop-and-go traffic.

And while it might not be fair, it's going to be easier to argue your way out of ticket or avoid getting one at all if you're driving a hybrid Lexus as opposed to the F-Sport edition (not to mention any car with an AMG or M on its trunk).

2013 Infiniti M35h
Price: $54,595
0 to 60: 5.2 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 27/32

Mate the 302 horses of Infiniti/Nissan's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V-6 to a 67-hp electric motor and you get serious mojo. And, for folks allergic to CVTs, a seven-speed autobox comes with this car. No typo: The champion of CVTs, Nissan/Infiniti, goes conventional for its transmission on the M35h.

Where the Lexus is serene, the M35h will withstand some horseplay. Power comes on quickly (even too quickly), and the car gets a nearly 50/50 weight distribution because of the battery placement. That yields more stable high-speed handling, all in a car that otherwise settles down for normal commuter mode. Neither BMW's $61,845 Active Hybrid 5 Series nor Porsche's Panamera Hybrid (a cool $96,000) is faster to 60 mph.

Honda Accord LX
Price: $22,480
0 to 60: 7.7 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 27/36

Chuck the latest Accord hard around a few double-yellow country roads and you'll learn that the latest family mover from Honda is quick, capable, and consistently stable even when you're not driving it like a member of polite society. When pushed to the limit the Accord seems to shrink around the driver, feeling nimble right to the edge of adhesion. Remember: This Honda is meant to sell by the tens of thousands every month. That the Accord manages to be so much more than dull, reliable transportation is good news for fans of stealth speed.

Yes, a CVT stands between the Accord driver and more spirited shenanigans. But Honda will happily sell you a six-speed manual-transmission Accord, though it will ding your fuel economy down to 24/34. And at least this CVT is quite good; it responds at least as quickly as a six-speed automatic would.

Buick Regal GS
Price: $34,980
0 to 60: 6.4 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 19/27

Buick sold ten times as many units in China last year as it sold in the U.S. That means the turbocharged, 270-hp edition of the Regal was not necessarily made with American buyers in mind, and that's just fine with us. A car like the GS shows that if the marketplace is more international, American carmakers can respond with products that are more engaging and flat-out fast.

Drive a GS and you'll find it corners like no Buick made in the 1970–2000 era. It may be front-wheel-drive, but torque steer is largely absent. Even the six-speed manual slots through its gates cleanly. Mash the throttle in third gear and watch the speedo or you'll get into trouble. The Regal GS is perfectly stable at very high speeds, hugging the Interstate like an alternate-universe Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

On the outside, though, Buicks still look Middle-America conservative, like they're primarily driven by men in plaid sport coats and yellow golf trousers. The blasé looks are a bonus if you're shopping for the un-3-Series.

Honda CR-V
Price: $24,045
0 to 60: in 8.6 seconds
EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway): 22/30

Don't throw stupid money at the answer to a question nobody is asking (Porsche Cayenne Turbo, BMW X6M, etc.). For "normal" dough, the CR-V handles confidently with ride quality that is solid, never darty.

One huge but often overlooked factor in the midsize crossover category is good outward vision. Too many of these boxes have major aft-corner blind spots, but the Honda isn't one of them. It's also faster to 60 mph than a Ford Escape and doesn't require special fuel. The Mazda CX-5 delivers better fuel economy (26/32) and can play in the corners. But when you're trying to get out of a semi's way on the freeway, you'll wish you were in the Honda.

Humanoid robot comes to life

Meet Roboy, “one of the most advanced humanoid robots,” say researchers at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Zurich. Over 40 engineers and scientists are constructing Roboy as a tendon-driven robot modeled on human beings (robots usually have their motors in their joints, giving them that “robot” break-dance look), so it will move almost as elegantly as a human. Roboy will be a “service robot,” meaning it will execute services independently for the convenience of human beings, as in the movie Robot & Frank.

World's tallest hotel opens in Dubai

The JW Marriott's Marquis Dubai formally opened Feb. 26 after gaining the title of tallest hotel from Guinness World Records. At 355 meters (1,099 feet), the hotel would tower over skylines in most cities. But in Dubai, it sits in the shadow of its more than twice-as-high neighbor, the Burj Khalif, the world's tallest skyscraper at 828 meters

Jacksons Hobbit: The Journey Begins

Film make Jackson Peter wants to scare children with his latest Film....

-->
The First of the Hobbit Movie trilogy"The Hobbit:An Unexpected Journey" is about to hit theaters.
"If they're scared of the trolls great, if they're scared of the goblins great, they know there are no goblins, they know there are no trolls, it's a safe kind of danger," he says.
The film produced by,MGM and time Warner inc,is the forth in the Oscar-wining Forth jackson`s Blockbuster "Lord of the Rings"Film Franchise,Based on the Books of author J.R.R Tolkien.
It follows the journey of Hobbit Bilbo Baginns, reluctantlly pushed i to draving with 13 dwarves to steal treasure from a dragon and regain their homeland.During his travel,He comes by the ring that he later passes onto kinsman frodo Baggins,which was at the core of the "rings" trilogy.

jackson says he`s worked to keep the distance between the Hobbits,Published in 1937,and the much darker lord of the rings,which came out nearly 20 years later.
"The lord of the Rings has an apocalyptic sort of heavy themic end-of-the world quality to it,which the Hobbit does not,Which is one of the delights of it,'HE said.
POMPOUS AND SMALL MINDED
The pointy eared,hairy footed Hobitt Bilbo is played by British actor Martin Freeman,who says he`s tried to make Bilbo his own creation.a Character audience can root for despite his initial pomposity and small mindedness.
"You have to be able to follow him for the duration of the film,but i wanted him to be open and changeable and ready to be surprised,"FREEMAN said.
A key scene is the encounter in a cave between the Bilbo and the creature Gollum, reprised in full computer generated splendor by andy serkis with the distinctive throaty whisper.
"It was a very rich experience,"he said,adding that playing Gollum again was "an absolute thrill".
such is the affection for the creature,who call the magic ring"Precious",that a 13 meter.
sculpture of Gollum hangs in the airport terminal at Wellington,which regards itself as a spiritual home for the tolkien films and terms itself the"Middle of middle EARTH"
