Solar-Powered Plane to Attempt History
May 22, 2007 — A dainty solar-powered plane with wings the width of a giant Airbus will retrace exploits in aviation history, including Charles Lindbergh’s first ever transatlantic crossing, before a pioneering round-the-world flight in 2011, project leaders said Tuesday.

While this sounds very fascinating I can’t help but imagine the following scenario, “Oh Shit! A Cloud!” Best of luck to this great scientific venture!

‘Growable’ Homes Made With Mushrooms
The patented Greensulate formula is an organic, fire-retardant board made of water, flour, minerals and mushroom spores. It not only hinders heat flow but could also be modified to produce sustainable, “growable” homes.

While maybe sounding a little strange to live in a mushroom home, it is biodegradable and is less expensive than the regular insulator currently used.

This reminds me of Igloos and they were the perfect solution for living in an Ice-olated (tehee) area! Nevertheless, As ridiculous as this may sound to normal ppl, these are the homes of the future (not the current future, but future future).
