  Spaceship (CA)
The speed of a spaceship is often expressed in terms of c, the "speed of light", one cell per generation, which in many cellular automata is the fastest that an effect can spread.
A pattern that, when a spaceship is input, outputs a copy of the spaceship travelling in a different direction is called a reflector.
Spaceships are important because they can sometimes be modified to produce pufferss.

 [No title]
A spaceship is a finite pattern of live cells in Life that after a certain number of generations reappears, but translated in some direction by a nonzero distance.
Spaceships which show their mirror image after half their period are called glide- reflection spaceships.
This means (for example) that an orthogonal spaceship might move by one cell in two generations, or two cells in four generations, or three cells in six generations, and so on.

As part 2 of the plane project, we were asked to create a spaceship out of a thin plastic.
My spaceship is based on two separate ideas: the solar sail and a satellite.
The "body" of the spaceship is formed of six satellite dishes clustered together.

 The Triumph of Truth and Technology
SpaceShip one and the other space vehicles being developed in Southern California are on the same order of a paradigm shifter as the personal computer was to the mainframe computer.
Spaceship One was built only a few hours drive from Los Angeles by Californian Burt Rutan, one of the greatest living aerospace and material composite engineers, and his dedicated team at Scaled Composites with backing form Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures.
The real power of Spaceship One is the very clear illustration that it is possible to do things differently, that things can be done in a logical, compelling fashion is potentially worth billions of dollars to an industry that has been through difficult times.

Although the flight itself was a resounding success, the hatch blew open while the capsule was bobbing in the water, allowing water to pour in and nearly drowning Grissom before he managed to escape.
An attempt to save the capsule by helicopter failed because the spaceship had simply taken in too much water and was too heavy to lift.
On its arrival, the spaceship will then be sent to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center where it will be restored for display to the general public.

Besides Spaceship Eyes, Falcone captains space rock band Spirits Burning (which has included contributions from Gong's Daevid Allen to Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson); their first CD was released on France's Gazul label in 1999.
Previous to Spaceship Eyes, Falcone played with the legendary ethno-techno Thessalonians, the original incarnation of U.S. space rock band Melting Euphoria, and a number of Silent Records' ambient projects, like Spice Barons, U.F.A. and Satellite IV.

 Fun Facts of Epcot's Future World's Spaceship Earth
I was on Spaceship Earth today (9/15/01) and toward the end of the ride where the mother is singing the lullaby to her daughter, the NYC skyline is in the background, complete with the World Trade Center.
The term "Spaceship Earth" was coined by Buckminister Fuller, in his 1969 book, "An Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth." Buckminister Fuller also invented the concept of the Geodesic Sphere, which is the type of structure that the "Spaceship Earth" ride is housed in.
At the end of the Spaceship Earth Ride while traveling backwards, right before passing the city landscape and passing underneath the fiber optic wires that are overhead, there are several scenes showing people communicating via video phone at remote locations.

 Space Travel
However, this is the time as measure by observers stationary with respect to the Earth and the star (we assume that the relative motion between them is nowhere near light speed).
For example, if the spaceship is moving at 0.99c, the time dilation factor is seven, so that to the astronauts, the journey takes only 4/7 of a year, or about seven months.
If the spaceship were able to reach 0.999c, the time dilation factor would be twenty, and the trip would take only about one month.

 Historic Space Launch Attempt Scheduled for June 21, 2004
Mojave, CA: A privately-developed rocket plane will launch into history on June 21, 2004 on a mission to become the world’s first commercial manned space vehicle.
The spaceship pilot then fires his rocket motor for about 80 seconds, reaching Mach 3 in a vertical climb.
This provides a “care-free” atmospheric entry by slowing the spaceship in the upper atmosphere and automatically aligning it along the flight path.

I have a camera attached to the spaceship with the ability to move in a limited FOR.
For simplicity, the camera is at the center of the spaceship and doesn't have the spaceship model in its view.
For instance, no matter which way the spaceship is facing or rotated toward, the camera is still 10 degrees down and 10 degrees right because it is attached to the spaceship.

 Scifilm -- Reviews, FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS (1960)
But in the general science fiction community, Lem is internationally recognized as a master of science fiction, and many of his novels are still in print today.
FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS is also significant because it was the first of a wave of sci-fi movies to come out of Eastern Europe during the 60s, most notably PLANETA BURG (VOYAGE TO THE PREHISTORIC PLANET), IKARIE XB-1 (VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE), and MESHTE NASTRESHU (A DREAM COME TRUE).
Through some process of deduction, scientists determine that the spool is the only remaining trace of an alien spaceship that crashed in 1908, causing the famous explosion that leveled trees for kilometers around.

Design and build a three-dimensional spaceship using pattern blocks; describe how the spaceship was built.
Fit all of the pattern blocks tightly together with congruent matching sides touching so there are no "holes" and the spaceship has at least two lines of symmetry (it can be folded exactly into two equal halves at least two different ways).
Create a two-dimensional spaceship that is congruent and symmetrical using 20 or fewer pattern blocks.

 Gun (CA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In a cellular automaton, a gun is a pattern of which the main part repeats periodically, like an oscillator and which also periodically emits spaceships.
There is the period of the spaceship output and the period of the gun itself, which is necessarily a multiple of the spaceship output's period.
A gun whose period is larger than the period of the output is a pseudoperiod gun.

 Rule 110 cellular automaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rule 110 was shown to be universal (or Turing complete) by showing it was possible to use the rule to emulate another computational model, the cyclic tag system, which is also universal.
This was accomplished by first isolating a number of spaceships, self-perpetuating localized patterns, that could be constructed on an infinitely repeating pattern in a Rule 110 universe, and second, devising a way for combinations of these structures to interact in a fashion that could be exploited for computation.
There are numerous other spaceships in Rule 110, but they do not feature as prominently in the universality proof.

 SPACE.com -- Burt Rutan: Building The People's Spaceship
Thus says Burt Rutan, the private airplane and spacecraft designer, who is anything but shy when it comes to telling the world where he thinks the United States — and NASA in particular, has gone wrong since the heyday of human spaceflight.
Rutan made several appearances here Nov. 12, including his first stop which was to help judge a student spaceship and spaceport design competition hosted by the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum and the Department of Aerospace at Metropolitan State College.
The mega-launching plane, a big spaceship that carries eight to ten people, and a new rocket motor—all these have to be developed, certified, and then put into production, Rutan said.

 The Future of "SpaceShip Earth"
As population biologist Paul Erlich has pointed out, this way of looking at ecology makes it clear that runaway population growth by poorer nations, although an emerging threat of major proportions to the "life support systems of Spaceship Earth," is outweighed by the consumption trends in richer nations.
It shows, for example, the importance of emphasizing long-term sustainability of return on investment at least as much as maximization of short-term profitability -- an absolutely essential shift now needing to be made by leaders in business and industry and by the investors whom they claim to serve.
The metaphor of "Spaceship Earth" is criticized by deep ecologists and others who suggest that a more appropriate metaphor would be one that points to the planet as a vital, dynamic organism that is alive in its own right -- such as is put forward by the recent ecological theory known as the "Gaia Hypothesis."
