Space Facility

The Baikonur Cosmodrome also called Tyuratam, is the world's oldest and largest operational space launch facility.

It is located in Kazakhstan, about 200 kilometers (~125 mi) east of the Aral Sea, on the north bank of the Syr Darya, near the town of Tyuratam.

It is leased by the Kazakh government to Russia (until 2050) and managed by the Russian Federal Space Agency. It was originally built by the Soviet Union as the base of operations for its ambitious space program from the late 1950s to the 1980s.

Baikonur is fully equipped with facilities for launching both manned and unmanned space vehicles. It supports several generations of Russian spacecraft: Soyuz, Proton and Zenit.

During the temporary lapse of the United States' Space Shuttle program after the Columbia Disaster in 2003, it has played an essential role in the resupply and deployment of the International Space Station.

Pluto Explorer

New Horizons is a robotic spacecraft mission conducted by NASA.

It is expected to be the first spacecraft to fly by and study the dwarf planet Pluto and its moons, Charon, Nix and Hydra. NASA may also approve flybys of one or more other Kuiper Belt Objects.

New Horizons was successfully launched on January 19, 2006. After a flyby of Jupiter on February 28, 2007 at 5:43:40 UTC, it is expected to arrive at Pluto in July 2015 before becoming the fifth spacecraft to leave the Solar System.

The New Horizons spacecraft was launched directly into an Earth- and solar-escape trajectory. It had an Earth-relative velocity of about 16.21 km/s (36,260 mph) just after its last engine shut down, making it the fastest spacecraft launch to date.

Black Temple success!

Guild's first successful attempt at black temple with the help of two other major guilds' main players. We had three dps and two healers(including me) which represented my guild, the rest of the dps and a couple of main healers came from another major guild. The two tankers came from the third guilds' main tank and the second guilds' main tank.





some screenshots~!





one famous name, sub-boss teron gorefield from black temple








one hard boss, shahra . darn it








second last bosses to illidan himself, a group of bosses named illidan council >.<"








illidan the darn elf, some female elf hero maiev will appear and help at phrase four, last phrase.

first try got him down to 60% health, subsequent tries down with 20-40% and begins phrase four. finally after five tries got him dead. = )






after all the hype and chatting come to looting, as three guilds are involved it is a messy process of distributing the loots from illidan.. my guild has not dkp records yet and the other two guild are disagree over how much allocation.. anyway these are what dropped







congrats to c.s.k and x.t.a for their new equips, im took some of their photos too.
of course this two lucky toms are not from my guild


x.t.a new sword, he want to collect part 2 next asap, doh





c.s.k got the healing mace, luckily mine also not bad, from karazhan prince

Day two at karazhan

Today we continue to karazhan for the optional bosses, neitherspite and nightbane; both are dead dragons, one is a fiery skeleton form of a dragon while the other is a ghostly image of a dragon.

We managed to defeat neitherspite and got nightbane down to 15% health.
It was late and longs hours at karazhan makes us feel the need to rest.

Below are some screenshots.
