Germany is currently working on a new type of “Concord” but they named it Spaceliner. Now, just to compare these two planes, I did some research in Wikipedia and found out the real Concorde was taken of the air in 2003 as a result of its only crash in 2000 (Concord was flying since 1969) as well as other economic problems rising from terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. What is also interesting that the Concorde’s engine was build by Rolls-Royce and could reach a speed up to 1,330 mph (2,140 km/h). The plane’s speed was grater than twice as much the speed of a conventional plane and that’s why the flight from London to New York took only about 3.5 hours (more on Concorde at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concorde). Spaceliner’s speed, on the other hand, is 6 times faster than the speed of sound, which makes a flight from Europe to Australia last about1.5 hours!!!!Wouldn’t that be nice – fly to Prague during my lunch hour!!! However, there is this one thing….the ticket will cost around $5,ooo…

CZ: Nemecko nyni pracuje na novem “Concordu”, ktery se bude nazyvat Spaceliner. Opravdovy Concord byl stazen z provozu v roce 2003 a nebyl nicim nahrazen. Jen tak spesne jsem si tyto dva letouny chtela porovnat, tak jsem zabrousila na Wikipedii a dozvedela jsem se, ze duvodem proc byl Concord stazen z provozu byla nejen jeho jedina nehoda ve Francii v roce 2000 ( Concord lital jiz od roku 1969), ale take ekonomicke potize spojene s teroristickymi utoky z 11/9/2001.

Screamed Angelina Jolie at the relentless press crowd. Although partially of a CZECH DESCEND (her father is half Czech and half German; more on her biography go to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001401/bio), this actress also said that she would never come back here even if she was payed billions of dollars. The poor soul got upset because one of the czech photographers got adventurous and climbed the fence of their rented property. One of the American press people commented that ” we dare to do a lot of things to the celebrities in the US but climbing their fences is little too much..” Yep, in the US that guy would get arrested or even shot at for what he did. But common’….Prague worse than Africa???? Then you, Angelina, must have been to different “Africa” than the one I know! Plus, how can you say that if some of that “disgraceful blood” is running in your veins too!!!!
