Virgin Galactic Maiden Flight

The first manned-solo flight of the Virgin Galactic spacecraft has just happened over the Mojave desert. Having been released from its WhiteKnightTwo mothership, VMS Eve, at 45,000ft (13,700m), the spaceship glided to a safe landing 11 minutes later at Mojave Air and Space Port.

Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, who was present to witness the flight later described it as “one of the most exciting days in the whole history of Virgin”. He went on to say: “The sky is no longer the limit. we will now begin the process of pushing to the final frontier of space itself over the next year”.

The VSS Enterprise was described by pilot, Pete Siebold, as “a joy to fly” and the company confirmed that all objectives of the flight were successfully completed.

Now all we need is the $200k for a ticket into space. click here to see the video of this historic maiden flight.

A New Breed of Billboard Advertising - The Audi Launch

                                          
Audi - a brand that exudes self confidence and progressive thinking; and associated with the latest technology and innovative design, is the perfect brand to pioneer this entirely original concept, a new breed of “billboard” . 

It will display four life-size Audi cars, suspended inside the silver rings of a massive Audi symbol attached to an iconic bridge structure or in front of landmark spaces — the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Tower Bridge, Venice. The rings rotate around, light-up at night, and move up and down the bridge. Against the backdrop of spectacular urban architecture.

In addition to the final display, the entire anticipation, creation process, engineering feat of the installation and the specacular launch event will definitely create a buzz in media and social circles.

The anticipation, excitement and buzz will culminate in an epic night-time launch event that we envision including a live symphony orchestra playing on a barge right under the suspended rings or on the bridge itself, a fireworks presentation or a LED light show above the bridge, and the ultimate unveiling of the rings.
