Topic: USS Da Vinci


  
  Da Vinci's Dreams of Flight
Da Vinci’s bird, or Ornithopter to give it its proper title can bes een as a symbol of much of this genius’ work: remarkable, ahead of it’s time, not very practical and pretty impossible.
Da Vinci’s idea is exploited in a similar way in The Wild Wild West (Sonnefeld 1999) where Gordon’s dream of a flying machine is exploited as a repeating theme throughout the film.
Here the legacy of Da Vinci’s genius is intended for evil and greed, something that the ‘real’ Da Vinci seen at the beginning of the film would have abhorred (he is obviously shaken when he sees the power and potential of his machine, deliberately disassembling a key component).

 [VOY] Jammer's Review: "Concerning Flight"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
As it turns out, da Vinci has somehow been downloaded into Doc's portable emitter and is living in a workshop owned by the leader of the space pirates, a guy named Tau (John Vargas).
There's a point where Janeway and da Vinci stop to have a drawn-out conversation that's practically about the nature of existence, never mind that the two are supposedly fleeing from their alien pursuers.
I have nothing against the da Vinci character, and I certainly don't have anything against Davies (on the contrary, I have a lot of respect for his screen presence), but he should stay in the holodeck and not be dropped into this goofy comic-book mayhem.

 Sci Station Canada: da Vinci close but ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Brian Feeney, of the da Vinci Project, indicated that his X PRIZE Team's launch license under the Canadian CLSO, their AST-equivalent governmental launch office, is anticipated soon.
da Vinci has completed its required application process and is well into the task of coordinating ground and air operations for their launches at Kindersley, the Saskatchewan site chosen for Canada's first manned space launch.
The project's flight simulator became operational about six months ago, and da Vinci is in the process of adding refinements to the trendicators that will aid in determining role, pitch and yaw rates, as well as to the pilot's flat screen display.

USS Dace (SS-247), a Gato -class submarine, was the first submarine of the United States Navy to be named for any of several small North American fresh-water fishes of the carp family.
She now joined sister ship USS Darter (SS-227) in a feat of skill and courage which brought both submarines the Navy Unit Commendation.
She was originally to be lent to Italy for five years, but this arrangement was extended five more years in 1959 and extended another five yet again, twice.

 the luminous blog: The REAL THREE "I's"...
Manescalchi speculated that da Vinci had assistants in his workshop and probably used a "secret" corner room for his dissections of human corpses, aimed at improving his understanding of anatomy.
The find has sparked speculation that while da Vinci was using the workshop, he might have met the probable model for the Mona Lisa, Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine merchant whose family had a chapel in the Santissima Annunziata.
Da Vinci is thought to have painted the Mona Lisa after he presumably left the convent, but Manescalchi said he was reviewing documents for evidence that the two met during his stay there from 1501 to 1502.

 Best-seller 'Da Vinci Code' goes on trial - The Washington Times: World - February 20, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
ROME — Art experts and conservative clerics are holding an unusual "trial" in Leonardo da Vinci's hometown aimed at sorting out fact from fiction in "The Da Vinci Code" after many readers took the smash-hit novel as gospel truth.
Vezzosi said one example of the historical inaccuracies contained in the book is the statement that the Mona Lisa was made in da Vinci's image.
"The Da Vinci Code" has sold more than 7.5 million copies worldwide and is expected to be made into a movie.

PARIS - Using digital technology, the Louvre Museum in Paris, is making Leonardo da Vinci accessible as never before, photographing 12 of his notebooks — which have not been exhibited together for 50 years — so visitors can flip through them with the click of a mouse.
Notebooks were da Vinci's companions in life, carried around in his pockets and whipped out to sketch what he saw and to jot down his thoughts, said organizers of the exhibition that opens next Friday and runs to July 14.
Just 28 of da Vinci's notebooks survive today, out of at least 50 that his pupil Francesco Melzi is thought to have put together, Forcione said.

 Timeline of underwater technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
15th century: Leonardo da Vinci made the first known mention of air tanks in Italy : he wrote in his Atlantic Codex (Biblioteca Ambrosiana,
Milan) that systems were used at that time to artificially breathe under water, but he did not explain them in detail due to what he described as "bad human nature", that would have taken advantage of this technique to sink ships and even commit murders.

The first of four mini-stories, Riddled Post involves the USS da Vinci being sent to a hostile Federation world, where a science outpost stationed on the surface has sent out a distress call, and the da Vinci is sent to determine the problem.
Apparently Starfleet feels that the da Vinci is best suited to answering every distress call that it comes in contact with, rather than letting someone else take care of it.
The bland storytelling is only enhanced by the crew of the da Vinci, which is a unique group of characters, and makes for interesting situations.

A strange and rather resilient ship crash lands on a planet in a highly populated area, fortunately for the residents there was enough warning time for the entire population to evacuate the area.

 Submarine
Because the USS Nautilus used nuclear power it was much faster and could stay under water longer than previous submarines.
The USS Nautilus had to travel under huge sheets of ice that went down so far that the USS Nautilus was only feet from the sea floor.
The USS Nautilus finally made it to the North Pole on Aug. 3, 1958 at 11:15 P.M. This was the first time anyone had traveled under the North Pole.

But the road to the da Vinci was a difficult one, as the SCE had to go through its share of growing pains back in the twent-third century.

However, the da Vinci's mission to Galvan VI will prove to be their greatest challenge to date, as they must salvage the U.S.S. Orion from the turbulent atmosphere of a gas giant.
