  • A computer-generated astronaut lies down on board a space flight on Virgin Galactic's  SpaceShipTwo's,  unveiled as a replica model during Wired NextFest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York. Under construction by Burt Rutan in Mojave, California and looking more like '2001 A Space Odyssey,' than future everyday holidays, SpaceShipTwo is a re-usable orbiting vehicle that will become an important tool for Man's leisure time in space when affordable commercial space tourism starting in 2009/10. Aboard the space vehicle will be 6 passengers, each paying $200,000 for the 40 minute flight to 360,000 feet (109.73km, or 68.18 miles) and to experience 6 minutes of weighlessness. From these circular portholes, astronauts will see 1,000 miles having taken off from the new Spaceport America, New Mexico.

  • Virgin boss, Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic directors Will Whitehorn and Stephen Attenborough, talk to the media during the unveiling of their SpaceShipTwo concept model's unveiling at the New York Wired NextFest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.  Now under construction by Burt Rutan in Mojave, California and looking more like a Stanley Kubrick movie set from '2001 A Space Odyssey,' than the future for everyday holidays, SpaceShipTwo is a re-usable orbiting vehicle that will become an important tool for Man's leisure time in space when affordable commercial space tourism starts in around 2009.  <br />
Aboard the re-usable space vehicle will be 6 passengers, each of whom will have paid $200,000 for the 40 minute flight to 360,000 feet (109.73km, or 68.18 miles) and to experience just 6 minutes of weighlessness.<br />
Launched in September 2004 by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic will invest up to $250 million to develop the world’s first commercial space tourism business with the building, testing and flying of five space shipShipTwos and two mother ships.  It is expected that within the first full year of commercial operations Virgin Galactic will enable 500 people to fulfil their dreams of becoming astronauts; in the last 4 decades the world has seen fewer than 500 astronauts. Flights start around 2009.<br />

  • Qudriya Yazdan Parast is an elected MP in the Afghan Parliament. She is photographed at home with friends who prefer not to be identified for fear of offending their families. Qudriya is committed to advancing women’s rights. As such, her life is constantly in danger and she and her family have been attacked several times.  <br />
<br />
She says, “There are still many problems. I know someone, a  candidate running  for Parliament who gave away two of his daughters as part of his campaign. Fortunately, he didn’t win!"<br />
<br />
In Afghanistan, there are no love marriages but I help couples to be together.  I once helped a girl and a boy who had fallen in love at university. They had to see each other secretly because her father did not approve. Eventually though, I gained the father’s trust and because of my standing he listened.  They have been married now for more than a year and have a son.

  • Hidden beneath the cover is a bronze statue, by the sculptor Philip Jackson of Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for Indias independence from British Rule on 15th June 2020 in Londons Parliament Square, United Kingdom. On its unveiling, commentators noted the irony of the statues placement near the statue of Sir Winston Churchill that also stands in Parliament Square. Churchill, who strongly opposed Indian independence, famously once called Gandhi a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal palace. The Telegraph of Kolkata noted that the fact that Gandhi and Mandela now stand alongside a slew of white men in Parliament Square is proof of how much England itself has moved away from Winston Churchills views on racism and imperialism.  The boarded up statue in the background is Nelson Mandela. The statues were boarded up to protect them from attacks by far-right extremists.

  • A 4.1m high bronze sculpture of a boy on a rocking horse has been unveiled on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, England, UK. Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset say "Powerless Structures, Fig 101 (the title of the piece) questions "monuments predicated on military victory or defeat". They said it was "up to the public to love it or hate it" but "hopefully not ignore it". Funded by the Mayor of London and Arts Council England, the sculpture will remain in place for a year. The artists said, in a statement, that "the image of a young boy astride his rocking horse encourages viewers to consider the less spectacular events in their lives which are often the most important". The Fourth Plinth is an empty plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London originally intended to hold an equestrian statue. For over 150 years there was much squabbling about what to do with the fourth plinth, but very little agreement, until the temporary use of the plinth to display three pieces of art in the last years of the 20th century lead to a commission being formed to decide on a use for it. Eventually that commission unanimously decided to use it for the temporary display of artworks.
