By Nicholas Schmidle Mark Stucky, the lead test pilot for SpaceShipTwo. “As a Marine Corps colonel once told me,” Stucky said, “ ‘If you want to be safe, go be a shoe salesman at Sears.’ ” Photograph by Dan Winters for The New Yorker t 5 .. on April 5th, Mark Stucky drove to an airstrip in Mojave, California, and gazed at A SpaceShipTwo, a sixty-foot-long craft that is owned by Virgin Galactic, a part of the Virgin Group. Painted white and bathed in oodlight, it resembled a sleek ghter plane, but its mission was to ferry thousands of tourists to and from space. Stucky had piloted SpaceShipTwo on two dozen previous test ights, including three of the four times that it had red its rocket booster, which was necessary to propel it into space. On October 31, 2014, he watched the fourth such ight from mission control; it crashed in the desert, killing his best friend. On this morning, Stucky would be piloting the fth rocket-powered ight, on a new iteration of the spaceship. A successful test would restore the program’s lustre. Stucky walked into Virgin Galactic’s large beige hangar. He is fty-nine and has a loose-legged stroll, tousled salt-and-pepper hair, and sunken, suntanned cheeks. In other settings, he could pass for a retired beachcomber. He wears the smirk of someone who feels certain that he’s having more fun than you are.

This is the headquarters of Local Motors, the first open source car company to reach production. Step inside and the office reveals itself as a mind- blowing example of the power of micro-factories. In June, Local Motors will officially release the Rally Fighter, a $50,000 off-road (but street-legal) racer. The design was crowdsourced, as was the selection of mostly off-the-shelf components, and the final assembly will be done by the customers themselves in local assembly centers as part of a “build experience.” Several more designs are in the pipeline, and the company says it can take a new vehicle from sketch to market in 18 months, about the time it takes Detroit to change the specs on some door trim.

  • Dan Winters Last Launch Press Release
    Press Release – For Immediate Release [email protected] June 12, 2013 DAN WINTERS Last Launch July 11, 2013 through August 31, 2013 Reception for the Artist: Thursday, July 11, 7 – 9 PM “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” – Neil Armstrong The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present photographer Dan Winters’ most recent body of work, Last Launch , a stunning photographic tribute to America’s space shuttle program and the unquenchable American spirit of exploration. Dan Winters grew up in the golden-age of space travel, watching the live launch of Apollo 11 with his family on their home television set and carefully following the mission unfold on TV, hanging on every detail as reported by Walter Cronkrite. This experience left an indelible impression not only on Dan Winters, but on the nation’s collective memory as a whole. Winters was one of only a handful of photographers to whom NASA gave close-range access to photograph the last launches of the space shuttles Discovery (February 24, 2011), Atlantis (May 17, 2011), and Endeavour (May 11, 2011). Winters positioned several automatically controlled cameras, bolted into place for stability, at strategic points around the launch pads, some as close as 700 feet. The camera lenses are taped into place so they cannot be shaken out of focus by the blast. Tripped by an electronic trigger that reacted to the shuttles’ vibrations, cameras began shooting every five seconds after the ignition occurred. Dan Winters’ elaborate setup enabled him to record the explosive launches and the billowing smoke and ethereal clouds that follow, capturing transcendent images that serve as the last documentation of these shuttles as they were sent hurtling into space.
