World's First Solar Powered Battery Storage Train!
Dave checks out the world's first solar powered battery storage train! The Byron Bay Solar Train. NOTE: This is a neat tourist attraction, but it's NOT a magic "green" solution to train travel.
A Byron Bay company have converted an old 1950's "red rattler" Sydney train into a battery storage solar powered train. Solar panels on the train roof can charge the train batteries which can last for an entire days service. a 30kW solar system on the train station roof provides fast charge power and power back into the grid when not being used. http://byronbaytrain.com.au/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZobJdaSDsPM
Dave compares the original Apollo 17 16mm ascent camera footage to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) photos.
Will footage from 40 years apart match up to confirm the moon landing?

Part 2 of the visit to the UNSW Quantum Computer research lab with Professor Andrea Morello who is the Scientia Professor of quantum engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales, and a Program Manager at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology.
This video looks a the smaller helium test tank, probes, and the pump room.
Plus a look at the Australian National Fabrication Facility where the research silicon wavers are produced.
Part 1: Was an in-depth look at the engineering inside a quantum computer, and also demonstrating the operational results live and how they are measured.

More information on the NASA Canberra/Tidbinbilla deep space tracking network and the big 70m dish.
And the Honeysuckle Creek dish that received Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 first steps down the ladder.
NOTE: ITAR regulations prohibited what we could show inside the antenna base.

Stan Anderson explains the history and technical details of project ARIA, a little known but vital aspect to Apollo's global tracking system that enabled all the Apollo missions and beyond.
ARIA comprised a third of the entire NASA manned flight tracking network, yet hardly anyone knows about it!
