" Powell and his colleagues have proposed two generations of space launching technology. The first is a cargo-only launch track that could be built into a mountainside to reach a height of 20,000 feet.

But if a Viking didn’t die in battle, well, a dishonorable death like that didn’t result in Valhalla. The legends say that the spirits and bodies of these shameful Vikings went into a kind of limbo, where they weren’t entirely dead, but they weren’t alive either.
45 Epic Dragon Art Pictures. A Brief history of Dragons Dragons are legendary creatures, typically with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of many cultures.
There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan, Korea and other Asian countries.
