Jordi Muñoz: el mexicano que triunfó fabricando drones. Desde que era un niño, las grandes pasiones del joven mexicano Jordi Muñoz han sido las computadoras y los aviones.
“Soñaba con convertirme en piloto y al mismo tiempo me fascinaba jugar con legos, electrónica y todo eso”, cuenta Muñoz, de 28 años, quien es cofundador de 3D Robotics, una de las mayores compañías de fabricación de drones (vehículos aéreos no tripulados) de Estados Unidos. En 2007, con 20 años, y tras haber sido rechazado en el Instituto Politécnico Nacional de México, Muñoz hizo las maletas y se trasladó junto a su esposa desde Tijuana a Riverside, en California (oeste de EE.UU.), con la esperanza de poder cumplir sus sueños.
“La tecnología había avanzado lo suficiente como para tener acceso a sensores como acelerómetros, giróscopos o GPS. Emprendedores Utilizando los sensores de su consola Nintendo y una placa de arduino (una plataforma de hardware abierta) logró convertir su helicóptero en un drone, haciendo que volara de forma a autónoma. Mexicano diseña sus drones y crea empresa tecnológica. Distrito Federal— Al estilo de Mark Zuckerberg, creador de Facebook, y del fundador de Apple, Steve Jobs, este mexicano abrió y presidió en EU una empresa tecnológica que podría cambiar nuestras vidas; todo ello sin título universitario y a temprana edad.
Oriundo de Baja California y rechazado del Politécnico dos veces, Jordi Muñoz inventó vehículos voladores no tripulados de bajo costo, permitiendo con ello que los drones alcanzaran un mercado masivo. Joven mexicano ofrece drones más allá de la seguridad. La empresa 3D Robotics, cofundada por el joven de ascendencia mexicana Jordi Muñoz, tiene la visión en un mundo donde los “drones” (aviones no tripulados) sean utilizados en todas las áreas de la comunidad y no solo en materia de seguridad.

The most spectacular episode of Harry Truman's presidency will never be forgotten but will be forever linked to his name: the atomic bombings of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and of Nagasaki three days later.
Probably around two hundred thousand persons were killed in the attacks and through radiation poisoning; the vast majority were civilians, including several thousand Korean workers. Twelve US Navy fliers incarcerated in a Hiroshima jail were also among the dead.[1] Great controversy has always surrounded the bombings. Attacks on U.S. Naval Ships. USS Reuben James (DD-245) Coordinates: USS Reuben James (DD-245)—a post-World War I, four-funnel Clemson-class destroyer—was the first United States Navy ship sunk by hostile action in the European theater of World War II and the first named for Boatswain's Mate Reuben James (c.1776–1838), who distinguished himself fighting in the Barbary Wars.
Reuben James was laid down on 2 April 1919 by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation of Camden, New Jersey, launched on 4 October 1919, and commissioned on 24 September 1920, with Commander Gordon W. Hines in command. The destroyer was sunk by a torpedo attack from German submarine U-552 on 31 October 1941. Pearl Harbor.

A first draft of the Infamy Speech, with changes by Roosevelt The Infamy Speech was a speech delivered by United States President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to a Joint Session of Congress on 8 December 1941, one day after the Empire of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Hawaii.[1][2][3][4][5] The name derives from the first line of the speech: Roosevelt describing the previous day as "a date which will live in infamy". Within an hour of the speech, Congress passed a formal declaration of war against Japan and officially brought the U.S. into World War II. The address is regarded as one of the most famous American political speeches of the 20th century.[6] [edit] The Infamy Speech was brief, running to just a little over seven minutes. His revised statement was all the stronger for its emphatic insistence that posterity would forever endorse the American view of the attack. The overall tone of the speech was one of determined realism. Impact and legacy[edit] Pearl Harbor Attack Map.
