Amazon recently rolled out an update to its Prime Instant Video apps which allow users to download movies and TV shows for offline viewing. Amazon is the first streaming media company to offer this option, but will Netflix now follow suit and offer users the chance to watch content offline?
Maybe it's because we don't have the kind of pressure cooker situation that birthed the first space race. But if that's the case, then we might just be in luck, or rather out of it. With the growing consumption of resources, population concerns, carbon emissions, forest fires, and any number of other human-caused problems, we need to start thinking big when it comes to saving the planet.

It seems like vehicle development has really accelerated. You know, I was just doing some research, and when I was a kid, it was the space shuttle that was the really, you know, the cool new thing, but you look at that program. It started in '72, the first flight wasn't until 1981, the final flight was, you know, 2011, and it seemed like it was the same vehicle over the course of, you know, concept to retirement over a 40-year period, but it seems like what you guys are doing now is happening, and the development's happening much more quickly. Is this driven by private commercial ventures? What's changed, and what really flipped the switch? [gentle electronic music continues]
Yeah. So STOKE is building fully and rapidly reusable rockets, specifically for that commercial satellite market that I talked about earlier, and, you know, the way I see it, the analogy I draw is that companies like SpaceX are the freight trains to space. That's an important sector, but we are the low-cost and on-demand Sprinter van that takes customers directly to their final orbit, and I think that, as you start to look at full constellations, that's actually a higher-value proposition.

I think, in anything you do, especially, you know, we're in the nascent point of the industry and so the way we have to think about it is what does this look like at massive scale, right? What does this look like when we're sending, you know, even one flight per day sounds pretty outlandish in today's world? Well, let's say we're doing one flight per day. Let's say we're doing 10 flights per day, or even more, right? What does that look like? And I think the obvious thing that we have to do is address space junk. That's a hot topic of, you know, kind of concern as we put up thousands and thousands more satellites, but I also think that it's an entirely controllable problem. Where it starts is with sustainable, I guess, delivery on orbit, so what that means is that we are not generating more junk when we put it on orbit. One big driver of junk, especially if we're launching thousands of times per year, is traditionally second stages, which are fully expendable. They go up with the satellite, they get dropped off, and then they float on orbit for years and years and years. In fact, they constitute, by far, the largest mass fraction of all space junk on orbit today. We need to not do that [chuckles] and we need to have separation systems that don't have explosive bolts that create fragmentation on orbit and things like that, right? And so, that's step one: don't make more junk. [dramatic electronic music continues] I think you'll see regulation emerge on orbit a little bit more. You'll see international cooperation emerge because, if we don't do those things, we're gonna be in a position of, you know, more-or-less mutually assured destruction where, you know, one satellite collision can create many more, since it's creating a debris field, right? So I think you're gonna see those things, and it's necessary. [dramatic electronic music continues]

(AP) -- If you have people on your gift list who travel a lot, you may want to think about giving them something to keep them comfortable and entertained while on the go, even if they're not as nomadic as George Clooney's road warrior character in the movie "Up in the Air." googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); We can't do anything about delays, cramped seating, jetlag, traffic jams and noisy passengers, but these gadgets could make it easier to tune them out:Livescribe Echo Smartpen (4GB: $170; 8GB: $200)Pros: Livescribe makes pens that record audio and match it up with what you're writing. So people taking notes during a presentation can get away with jotting down keywords and then going back and listening to the conversation, cued up to different words on the page. Users can download free software to their PC or Mac that pulls in their notes, along with the audio, whenever they plug the pen into their computer's USB port. Livescribe claims the pen lasts five to six hours when it's recording audio, and it charges using the USB cable.Cons: The pen works only with paper that's pre-printed with a special pattern. It comes in notebooks of different sizes ($8-$25), but each has the same icons lining the bottom of every page. Tap on the controls to stop, start and pause audio recordings, as well as do things such as adjust the volume of the pen's speaking voice.Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse ($50)Pros: This mouse lies flat when you're not using it, but, with one satisfying click, can be bent into a curved shape, making it look more like a standard mouse. Light and low maintenance, it turns off automatically whenever you press the mouse into a flat shape. It promises up to six months of battery life before travelers have to recharge it. It's designed to be usable on any surface, so there's no need to pack a mouse pad. A small dongle plugs into a Windows PC or Mac to create the wireless connection.Cons: The scroll wheel is simulated by a touch-sensitive strip that lacks the feel of a real wheel.Apple iPad (Wi-Fi only: $499-$699; 3G: $629-$829)Pros: Although ads for the iPad often depict someone relaxing with the tablet, legs propped up, it is an ideal companion for people on the go as well. True, you can surf the Web and watch movies on a phone or laptop, but the iPad's 9.7-inch display makes for easier viewing. It looks better than most laptop screens. Because the iPad turns on instantly and lasts up to 10 hours unplugged, using it is less of a hassle than booting up your PC and hoping that you can finish the movie before the battery runs out. The fact that the Transportation Security Administration doesn't require travelers to remove iPads from bags during airport security checks is the icing on the cake. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push(); Cons: With a starting price of $499, the iPad is one pricey toy. And that's not counting the cost of applications and a protective case. (We like Apple's $39 offering because it doesn't add bulk and also has a stand, making hands-free movie-watching easier.) At 1.8 pounds, it won't weigh down a carry-on, but it's more cumbersome to whip out than a phone.Klipsch Image S4 headphones ($80)Pros: For some people, the iPod's standard-issue white ear buds get uncomfortable when worn in long stretches. Travelers will find comfort in the S4's small, tapered ear buds, which come with soft tips in different sizes. I found them more comfortable than iPod buds. They're sturdier, and they block out some ambient noise. When I wore them on my subway commute, I could still hear announcements over the loudspeaker, but not other people's conversations or the rattle of the tracks. As a bonus, the buds come with a metal carrying case and a tool to clean off earwax.Cons: The cable tangles easily and is awfully thin, although the ear buds are covered by a generous two-year warranty should they break. Over-the-ear headphones with active noise cancellation, such as Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC1 QuietPoint headphones ($80), are better at muffling the roar of jet engines.iGo Laptop Travel Charger ($100)Pros: Every laptop comes with a power brick, but this one, made by iGo, is easier to take on the road and works with a variety of Windows-based laptops, thanks to a bevy of "tips," or adapters, that fit into differing power jacks. Someone who travels with two or more laptops could find it a god-send. Weighing 13.5 ounces and measuring 0.7 inches thick, the charger is lighter and thinner than most AC adapters for full-size laptops. It comes standard with a cigarette-lighter adapter.Cons: Not compatible with Macs. Works with international wall current, but you still need a separate adapter to plug it into the wall in most countries. 2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
