News Release NEWS RELEASE Contact: Meridyth Moore, Public Relations Specialist, (281) 244-2139, [email protected] Discover Legendary Myths at Space Center Houston’s Summer Exhibit HOUSTON, April 15, 2016 – Uncover the truth behind popular myths by mixing scientific method with gleeful curiosity and old-fashioned ingenuity in Space Center Houston’s new summer exhibit, MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition, presented by Coca-Cola May 28-Sept. 5. “MythBusters places you on a virtual set of the TV show performing your own experiments,” said the nonprofit center’s President and CEO William T. Harris. “Visitors will investigate the myth, conduct an experiment and see many artifacts from the popular TV show.” As seen in the Discovery Channel’s Emmy®-nominated TV series “MythBusters,” the exhibition creates hands-on, interactive experiences for guests of all ages by combining scientific facts with innovative, family-friendly displays. For 14 years, the TV show featured 3,000 experiments in more than 260 episodes and tested more than 1,100 myths before ending its run in March. “MythBusters” episodes can now be seen on “Science Channel.” The show’s co-hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara took scientific investigation to exciting new levels by proving or exploding myths using their highly experimental approach and extensive backgrounds in special effects. Savage and Hyneman were heavily involved throughout the development of the exhibition to ensure guests experience a true MythBusting encounter. "It’s exciting to see fans take on some of our favorite experiments from the show while drawing their own conclusions and data," said Savage. "Although they are tackling the same myths and questions, each guest can have a unique experience within the exhibit." The summer exhibit explores what experimenting is all about by inviting guests to participate in a series of fun, hands- on experiences and live demonstrations. The exhibit’s interactive highlights feature a diverse range exciting experiments including flight, friction, gravity, speed and combustion. Specific areas in the exhibit explore: • The Blueprint Room – Based on the real-life operations room of the “MythBusters” iconic set, this room acts as an introduction to MythBusting and is filled with gadgets, props, video and, of course, blueprints used by the hosts to explore myths on the show. • The Workshop – This is the place where guests turn into investigators and use real science to test myths. Guests discover whether they get more wet running versus walking in the rain and find out if toast really does always land buttered-side down. • A live “MythBusters” stage – Here guests have the opportunity to view and participate in live science demonstrations that dissect myths with the help of a team of energetic MythBusting facilitators.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between State-Of-The-Art, Technological and Commercial Feasibility, and the Restatement’S Reasonable Alternative Design Requirement
    “FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT, ORVILLE!”: EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STATE-OF-THE-ART, TECHNOLOGICAL AND COMMERCIAL FEASIBILITY, AND THE RESTATEMENT’S REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE DESIGN REQUIREMENT RICHARD C. AUSNESS* INTRODUCTION Of course Wilbur never told Orville to fasten his seat belt. Not only did the first Wright Flyer have no seat belts, it did not even have seats!1 Orville steered the Wright Flyer I from a prone position, not sitting up.2 Nor was the Wright brothers’ flying machine equipped with such useful safety features as brakes, landing gear, a radio, ailerons, or even much of a tail.3 In fact, if the truth be told, the Wright brothers’ airplane was a flying deathtrap. The good news for both modern pilots and their passengers is that aircraft technology, including safety technology, has progressed enormously since 1903. Aircraft manufacturers have now incorporated many forms of technology, such as radar, global positioning navigation systems, transponders, radios, anti-lock braking systems, and fire-resistant insulation in order to make their products safer. Unfortunately, progress has not been as impressive in other areas. Consider punch presses. Notwithstanding the fact that these machines cause hundreds of injuries in the workplace each year, many punch presses continue to employ Rube Goldberg-like devices such as “pullbacks” to protect punch press operators from serious injury.4 Why has safety technology improved so dramatically over the last hundred years for airplanes while punch press safety technology apparently has not? One explanation for this curious result is that product manufacturers effectively control the pace of technological development, including the development of safety-related technology by deciding how much to invest in research and development.5 At the same time, the experience of aircraft and punch press * Dorothy Salmon Professor of Law, University of Kentucky College of Law.

  • KARI BYRON Host, Science Channel’S HEAD RUSH and Discovery Channel’S MYTHBUSTERS
    KARI BYRON Host, Science Channel’s HEAD RUSH and Discovery Channel’s MYTHBUSTERS Kari Byron is a born tinkerer and explorer. By the age of 5, she was experimenting on her sister and using dolls as crash test dummies. Luckily for her parents, they always caught her right before her little sister took a ride down a laundry chute or was the subject of an "around-the-world" attempt on the playground swings. Kari began her career as a sculptor and painter before finding her dream jobs on MYTHBUSTERS and HEAD RUSH, where she gets to explore and experiment to her heart’s content. For HEAD RUSH, Kari hosts the all new, one-hour, commercial-free kids' programming block on Science Channel that is targeted toward middle-school age students and the curious kid in all of us. Her aim is to inspire and excite kids about the wonders of science and show how science is a vital part of their everyday lives. No subject goes unexplored as Kari dives into mathematics, science, technology, engineering, natural history and space with hands-on experiments, video shorts, viewer questions and answers, games and visits from other members of the Discovery family. This dynamic and entertaining programming block consists of three segments per hour, each addressing a specific subject, question or theme. After graduating from San Francisco State University and traveling the world, Kari began her career as a sculptor and painter, holding successful exhibitions at some of San Francisco's leading galleries. "Artist" was only one of many hats she wore while searching for her place in the world.
