Space Adventures plans to deliver tourism in Cosmos

Published by nerdeff in Adventure, Airlines, Asia, Extreme, Flying, Singapore, United Arab Emirates

The Space Race became an important part of the cultural and technological rivalry between the USSR and the United States during the 1960’s and the early part of the 70’s. But with all these efforts to date, only 3 civilians have been able to finance their multi-million dollar voyage to the International Space Station.

United Arab Emirates Spaceport COnceptSingapore Spaceport Concept
With the recent advent of the Ansari X Prize, the solar system got a lot more interesting with the possibility of affordable suborbital voyages for the rest of us. Space Adventures are working currently on construction of two earth-based Spaceports that will offer suborbital spaceflights, as well as astronaut training facilities. The first facility will be located in Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, while Singapore’s Changi Airport will grow to accommodate the second Spaceport. The both facilities will offer suborbital voyages as main attraction. Space Adventures has yet to announce how much these voyages will cost tourists, but they are adamant that they will be affordable (for someone:) ). I am currently preparing some information about Space Adventures` tourist service so stay in touch…

Kong Meng San Phor Kark - See the Buddhist Temple

Published by Asya in Asia, Cultural, Monuments, Museums, Parks, Praying, Singapore

the statue

This Buddhist temple is one of the largest places of worship in Singapore. It is the biggest complex of temples in Singapore and amongst one of the largest in South-East Asia. Examples of Chinese decoration, statues and shrines are found within peaceful gardens and the constant hum of prayers add to the tranquility. Saffron roofs, adorned with dragons and birds, compete with fire-engine-red doors to arrest the attention. Columns are covered with ornate carvings of lions, and swastikas loom over doorways, although these are the anti-clockwise version, an ancient symbol of good luck and protection.
