This is Tippi Degré, the girl who grew up in the African wild and managed to not get eaten.

Because I never see children. So the animals are my friends.” ~Tippi Degré </span></blockquote><br />Born in 1990 to French wild life photographer parents, Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, Tippi had the kind of childhood we only hear about in legends and quickly demonstrated the ability to form unusual bonds with the animals of the wild. “She was in the mindset of these animals. She believed the animals were her size and her friends. She was using her imagination to live in these different conditions,” says Tippi’s mother Sylvia.<br /><br />Her parents documented Tippi’s life and relationships with the African wildlife and transformed those moments into <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tippi-My-Book-Africa-Degre/dp/177007029X/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" target="_blank">books</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZyMwFWRqfg" target="_blank">movies</a>.</div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6y4EWPXz_nc?rel=0" width="853"></iframe><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

NASA Launches Three Smartphone Satellites

The goal of NASA's PhoneSat mission is to determine whether a consumer-grade off-the-shelf commercial smartphone can be used as the main flight avionics of a capable, yet very inexpensive, satellite. </b><br /><br />NASA’s prototype smartphone satellite, known as PhoneSat 1.0, is built around the Nexus One smartphone made by HTC Corp., running Google’s Android operating system. The Nexus One acts as the spacecraft onboard computer. Sensors determine the orientation of the spacecraft while the smartphone's camera can be used for Earth observations. Commercial-off-the-shelf parts include a watchdog circuit that monitors the systems and reboots the phone if it stops sending radio signals.<br /><br />NASA’s PhoneSat 1.0 satellite has a basic mission goal — to stay alive in space for a short period of time, sending back digital imagery of Earth and space via its camera, while also sending back information about the satellite’s health. <br /><br />As part of their preparation for space, the smartphones were outfitted with a low-powered transmitter operating in the amateur radio band. They sent the image information to awaiting hams who worked with the Ames engineers to stitch together multiple, tiny images to restore the complete Earth view.</div><br /><object height="480" id="otvPlayer" width="853"><param name="movie" value="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=fw1000&station=kgo§ion=&mediaId=9084217&parentId=9084230&cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&configPath=/util/&site=" ></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed id="otvPlayer" width="853" height="480" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=fw1000&station=kgo§ion=&mediaId=9084217&parentId=9084230&cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&configPath=/util/&site="></embed></object>
