Space1 One Year Anniversary Commemorative Coin

Magnified view of Space1's commemorative one year anniversary coin
SPACE1 INDUSTRIES ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE COIN
SPACE1 Industries has released the minting design for the Space1 Commemorative Coin, a coin that commemorates the first anniversary of one full year operation.

The coin is a lucky coin, as when flipped, it has no tail and always has a head face, representing moving forward into space, towards the future and the destiny of the human race.

It's the rarest of rare minted coins due to extremely low mintage, making the coin extremely valuable to space collectors. Dated 2015, and marked SPACE1 INDUSTRIES, the coin depicts the earth, the wreath of peaceful space exploration, and 5 important first year stars.

— the goal is to fly this coin into space, symbolically opening the door to space tourism and new ways of space exploration —

The stars represent the first year's founding members. The largest star represents the Founding Father of Space1. The remaining four stars additionally show the first year countries: USA, Taiwan, Korea, and Singapore respectively.

The 24 dots at the top of the coin are symbolic of the first 24 rocket versions completed during the first year of operation.

The 34 petals of the peace wreath signify safe launches of Space1's safety rocket and the continuing safety of Space1 operations both on the land and in space.

The Earth is symbolically divided up into 15 triangular or parallelogram frontal face sections representing future expansion. Expansion may include operations with space ports, rocket labs, and business nodes. The Earth symbology embodies a circular cut Mercator map projection, thus all 15 sections represent the entire surface of the Earth, encompassing all 6/7 continents.

Brain Cortex Part 5 - Modules

Looking through the transparent jar, the beginning of the intelligent Brain Cortex life form is taking shape. Seen is the Propeller brain circuit prototyped on a solderless breadboard with a speaker and LED for testing. At top right is a 3 volt 120 mA solar panel that charges the batteries and possibly a super super cap energy system. At bottom is a package of desiccant silica gel to prevent moisture from forming in the jar. In the circuit, to compensate for the wide range of fluctuation voltages (over time), the Propeller chip's BOE (Brown Out Enable) must be disabled. Not shown, batteries, super super capacitor and solar panel switching circuits.
BRAIN CORTEX MODULES
PART 5

The LIVING Brain Cortex is now congealing together in the form of modules, which includes the cortex board, solar collector, desiccator system, battery supply, and a super super capacitor by design. The cortex board includes crystal regulation, long term EEPROM memory, a USB interface (Prop Plug), LED and speaker. The latter two are for preliminary testing.


— the brain cortex is a living machine based on the Parallax Propeller chip, designed to think, converse, learn, remember, and ask questions. With maintenance, the cortex could outlive humans

The modules are being arranged as some will set on the home jar floor, and some will attach to jar walls. The cortex board could attach behind the jar label with the solar panel on the opposite wall. The battery supply will attach on the jar floor due to its weight and the desiccator will set somewhere in between. Modules will mount on precut sections of green transparent board using spaces which in turn will mount on various sections of the internal sides of the jar.

BATTERY UPDATE
The 1.5 volt AA battery has been replaced with a more energy efficient 1.5 volt D size. Two of these will provide 3 volts to the Propeller chip.

Rare Toddler Humanoid Robot

The rare TH1 gold Humanoid Toddler robot serial number one, with six servos including the revolutionary Quad Core by Humanoido Labs, with boards and mechanics by Parallax

RARE GOLD HUMANOID ROBOT
One of the most rare collector robots we have is the gold Toddler Humanoid Robot that was built from two kits - one, a Parallax Toddler Robot, and two, a Toddler Humanoid Kit.

— grown up, taller, more expressive

This is the prized fully loaded serial number one with the ultrasonic night vision eyes and multiprocessors. Sporting a moving torso, arms, head, and legs, the TH1 is fully capable of new expressive features such as dancing, choreography, and Tai Chi.

For more information.
