Croatian coast is awesome

If you maybe dont know, Croatia is southern neighbour of Slovenia and also member of ex Yugoslavia, so when I visit Croatia I dont feel that I am in other country. All ex Yugoslavia is still a litlle bit my country. Here are some photos from my trip to Croatia. Unfortunately I break my camera during the trip and I cant show you more pics. I drive from Ljubljana to croatian city Rijeka, visiting the biggest island KRK (On Krk you must see village Baška) Then I drive along croatian coast and stop in some camps. Ther are plenty of camps everywhere and no problem to sleep. Finaly I finished in ancient city Šibenik, I visited beautiful waterfall and river KRKA.

Slovenia is a super small aerospace great power




Slovenia will become member of European aerospace agency on 11 may 2008.


* Slovenian physicist Dušan Petrač is today one of the leading scientists in NASA.
*Mother of Sunita Williams - United States Naval officer and a NASA astronaut is a Slovene.
* Anton Mavretič worked for NASA from 1972 to 1979 and contributed to project Voyager 1 in Voyager 2.

*The most important "spaceman" from Slovenia was Herman Potočnik Noordung. (look picture)(1892-1929)

Herman Potočnik (December 22, 1892 - August 27, 1929) was a Slovene rocket engineer and pioneer of cosmonautics (astronautics). He is remembered for his work addressing the long-term habitation of space.

Potočnik was born in Pola, southern Istria,(now Pula, Croatia. His family originated from Slovenj Gradec and Vitanje, Slovenia.

1928 - He published book , Das Problem der Befahrung des Weltraums - der Raketen-Motor (The Problem of Space Travel - The Rocket Motor). Book comprehend 188 pages and 100 illustrations. Potočnik set out a plan for a breakthrough into space and the establishment of a permanent human presence there. He conceived a space station in detail and calculated its geostationary orbit. Potočnik described the use of orbiting spacecraft for detailed observation of the ground for peaceful and military purposes, and described how the special conditions of space could be useful for scientific experiments.

Potočnik's book described geostationary satellites (first put forward by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky) and discussed communication between them and the ground using radio, but fell short of the idea of using satellites for mass broadcasting and as telecommunications relays (developed by Arthur C. Clarke in his Wireless World article of 1945). The wheel-shaped space station served as an inspiration for further development by Wernher von Braun in 1953. Von Braun saw orbiting space stations as a stepping stone to travel to other planets. In 1968, Stanley Kubrick's ground-breaking film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, depicted such a role for "Space Station V."

Potočnik died of pneumonia in great poverty at the age of 36 in Vienna, Austria and was buried there. An obituary notice about his death was printed in one Maribor daily newspaper, mentioning his ranks (engineers and captain), his illness and nothing about his work about space. Streets in Graz and Ljubljana now bear his name.

Photos from Izola - small town on Slovenian coast

Few day ago I was in Izola. Sea rocks :)

Izola is Mediterranean tourist town on the Slovenian coast. Special architecture of the ancient old town demonstrates a rich history of a Izola which was once an island. Fishing tradition is still present in Izola’s modern tourist offer and culinary specifics.

The ancient part of the town is located on an island which was inhabited already in the first century A.D. and later connected to the coast by a stone bridge. It was surrounded by town walls which were demolished in the beginning of the 19th century and the ruins were used to fill up the sea between the island and the coast.

Crazy chicken lover and my new year resolution

President of OECD Chicken fan club Speedcathollydale tagged me to write new year resolution. It is a little late to write new year resolution in the middle of January but better now than never.

When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them, 2) be flippant about them, 3) do it because we feel pressured to, or 4) do not do them says Speedcat

I am in category 5 - I will do my new year resolution because Speedcat tagged me.

So my new year resolution is:

1) I hope I will published more posts on blog than last year,
2) I want to get at least one of the prestigious speedycathollydale award in 2008.

I tag all bloggers in the world who read this post!!!!!!!
