Falcon 9 has landed! I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge a true innovation in space travel and rocket design: The engineering behind landing the first stage of an orbital launch vehicle is staggering, and Elon Musk’s company SpaceX deserves a lot of credit for this accomplishment.

The rocket was carrying a commercial payload: 11 small data-relay satellites for Orbcomm of Rochelle Park, N.J. These …

System Requirements Java 7 ( You can download it here ) OpenGL …
Hello Everyone
Welcome to the new home of Angular Velocity, our project to reinvent the 2D Space Shooter. Starting this weekend we hope to bring you regular developer updates on the progress of AV, including screenshots, videos, and exclusive access to all demos. Along the way, we’d love to hear from you and get your feedback! Although we have a vision of what a great Space Shooter should look like, your input will help shape what we deliver. And yes, OP will deliver.
