Hello Earthlings!

My identity shall be secret, unlike a certain Mr. Stark who announced his to the world.

Iron Man sucks. Okay, not always, but some of the time.

Apart from harboring like-hate feelings for Iron Man, I spend the rest of my time gaping at aircraft…

My favorite one this week is the Beluga XL:

It’s based on the A330 airframe and will enter into service in 2019 (hopefully).
For the record, I’ve seen all the 5 original Airbus Belugas that are modified over the A300!

Every single time I’ve seen one take off, I’m surprised at how unlike an aircraft it can seem, but its physics still holds.

I also spend my productive hours following the International Space Station. Do you see it transiting the moon?

… and trying to save the earth from the known potentially hazardous asteroids:

Sometimes I trek, sometimes in the Himalayas…
(this one is the Zanskar frozen river)

And generally, I like Physics ;)

But most of all, I love the planet that is our pale blue dot:

In the next few posts, I will focus on these topics, but I will also try to circle back to our hero – Iron Man.

See you soon!
