Space Shot (ride)
Space Shot is a type of amusement ride manufactured by S&S - Sansei Technologies. The ride is a Drop tower (ride), drop tower type attraction that uses compressed air to rapidly propel riders up the tower then gently lower them with a series of air-cushioned bounces back to the loading platform. The first space shot to be built in the United States was the Spaceshot at D&D Adventure, a now defunct family entertainment center. The former was the prototype with the first model going to Action Park in Vernon, NJ. Built in early 1995 and opening for the 1995 season. The tallest space shot in the world is the ''La Venganza del Enigma'' in Parque Warner Madrid at Statistics * Ride Speed: 60 miles per hour (98 kilometers per hour) * Capacity: 12 or 16 per tower, depending on seating configuration * Altogether passenger minimum weight: 222 pounds * Total passenger maximum weight: 2,500 pounds (1090 kilograms) * Total passenger minimum height: 48 inches (1.22 meters) * Ride duration: ...

Space Launch
Space launch is the earliest part of a flight that reaches space. Space launch involves liftoff, when a rocket or other space launch vehicle leaves the ground, floating ship or midair aircraft at the start of a flight. Liftoff is of two main types: rocket launch (the current conventional method), and non-rocket spacelaunch (where other forms of propulsion are employed, including airbreathing jet engines or other kinds). Issues with reaching space Definition of outer space Energy Therefore, by definition for spaceflight to occur, sufficient altitude is necessary. This implies a minimum gravitational potential energy needs to be overcome: for the Kármán line this is approximately 1 MJ/kg. W=mgh, m=1 kg, g=9.82 m/s2, h=105m. W=1*9.82*105≈106J/kg=1MJ/kg In practice, a higher energy than this is needed to be expended due to losses such as airdrag, propulsive efficiency, cycle efficiency of engines that are employed and gravity drag. In the past fifty years spacefl ...

Spaceshot (Transformers)
''Transformers: Generation 1'' (also known as ''Generation One'' or ''G1'') is a toy line from 1984 to 1990, produced by Hasbro and Takara. It was a line of toy robots that could change into an alternate form (vehicles such as cars and planes, miniature guns or cassettes, animals, and even dinosaurs) by moving parts into other places, and it was the first line of toys produced for the successful Transformers toy and entertainment franchise. The line was originally called ''The Transformers'', with "Generation 1" originating as a term coined by fans of the toys when the Transformers: Generation 2 toy line was released in 1992. Hasbro eventually adopted the term "Generation 1" to refer to any toy produced in that era. Development In 1983, Hasbro representatives were sent to Tokyo Toy Show, a toy expo in Japan, in search of prospective toys that they could import to the North American market. At the time, Japanese toy manufacturer Takara was showcasing several transforming robot t ...
