Pilots

Pilots
Pilots are like the test for a show. It shows how many people like to watch the show. But the most important thing is to reveal the plot. To do this, you must introduce characters, setting, and then the problem, if this is a mystery show. If you have a comedy show, then it is different. You need to immensely explain each character's personality. You don't want a narrator telling their personality, but you want the audience to see the personality through their actions. If you have all this, you should have a successful show.

                                hydrogen cars by: Niko Francisco


      Hydrogen cars use hydrogen and air to produce electricity. The good thing is that it only releases heat and water in the air. This car will greatly decrease global warming and greatly help our earth not turn into a wasteland. The car holds compressed hydrogen in a tank with a pipe going to the engine. At the engine, fuel cells consume hydrogen and  generate power. Finally, the power goes to the motor and powers the wheels. Hydrogen is better than gasoline because it's powerful and we have a lot of it. The whole sun uses hydrogen to glow and light up our day. We humans need to switch to hydrogen cars because it helps earth and it will substitute the gasoline that we will run out of.

Sony's OLED TV

Sony Corp. on Sunday, said it will be introducing a revolutionary new TV.
But, the TV happens to be only 3 credit cards thin.

The 11 inch TV will go on sale this month. But Sony is displaying a twenty inch prototype at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It uses organic light emitting diode technology which ensures high picture quality. TV also known as the XEL-1 has a contrast ratio or the difference between maximum and minimum brightness which is about one million to one. This is a big improvement to the original thirty thousand to one. This high picture quality comes at a booming price of $2500. Though it was at $1700 at launch in japan.

NASA's Escape Pod


NASA’S Escape Pod

Behold, NASA has now invented a escape pod designed to be equipped onto the Orion.  The Orion can carry a crew of six to the International Space Station and up to four astronauts to the moon. The escape pod can automatically launch and separate from the Orion. Shooting at top speeds of 450 mph in less than 3 seconds from detachment. The capsule is protected with many layers consisting of metal and fiber glass. The escape pod consist of computers, programmed to steady the balance of the capsule as well as direct the capsule to earth which will then descend and go through 3 stages through the atmosphere. The capsule was Ideally designed and programmed to land on the ocean but if it hits solid ground, the Orion will crumple to absorb the blow. The astronauts will be in their shock absorbing seats which will keep them safe. Scared to death but safe.

Aliens Invading Antarctica!



Aliens have been invading Antarctica!
But not in the way you might think
And definitely not the aliens you would think of either.

As researchers scavenged the clothing of tourists, they found foreign seeds of plants. These aliens can get caught in your shoe laces. Unfortunately the seed can harm the ecological balance of the polar continent. Researchers estimate that about 70,000 seeds are brought in each year. You might be thinking that the seeds could not survive in such a dire climate. Instead, the Antarctic is one the places where the temperature increases much faster than where you live. The tourists also tend to go to warmer places that will let these aliens colonize. Researchers are still finding evidence and you should be lucky that these aliens have invaded in a much smaller scale!
