There's nobody I'll meet in my life will ever live beyond 200 years, so we thought that's a perfect place where we should situate our plan and let our imagination take flight.

Over the last two decades, India has become a global hub for software development and offshoring of back office services, as we call it, and what we were interested in finding out was that because of this huge industry that has started over the last two decades in India, offshoring software development and back office services, there's been a flight of white collar jobs from the developed world to India.

The first is what we called sinking skill ladder, and now I'm going to go back to where I started my conversation with you, which was about the flight of jobs.

Capital flight out of Africa, 80 billion a year.

Without the battle, the butterfly dies without ever taking flight.

In a state where 75 percent of communities aren't connected to a hospital by road, an expensive flight is required.

This is a flight of fancy.

So you could really say that researchers trying to understand the cause of disease without being able to have human stem cell models were much like investigators trying to figure out what had gone terribly wrong in a plane crash without having a black box, or a flight recorder.

Now flight is an inherently difficult thing.

Flight within vertebrates has only evolved three times: once in the bats, once in the birds, and once in the pterodactyls.

And so with flight, it's very metabolically costly.

So therefore, they must have something within their DNA that ables them to deal with the metabolic stresses, particularly of flight.

She passed me the phone book, I rang up the flying school, I said I'd like to make a booking to come out for a flight.

And then I found myself back at that same school where I'd gone for that very first flight, teaching other people how to fly ... just under 18 months after I'd left the spinal ward.

I'm obsessed with insects, particularly insect flight.

I think the evolution of insect flight is perhaps one of the most important events in the history of life.

Well, in order to fly, just as in a human aircraft, you need wings that can generate sufficient aerodynamic forces, you need an engine sufficient to generate the power required for flight, and you need a controller, and in the first human aircraft, the controller was basically the brain of Orville and Wilbur sitting in the cockpit.

They have two types of flight muscle: so-called power muscle, which is stretch-activated, which means that it activates itself and does not need to be controlled on a contraction-by-contraction basis by the nervous system.

It's specialized to generate the enormous power required for flight, and it fills the middle portion of the fly, so when a fly hits your windshield, it's basically the power muscle that you're looking at.

But attached to the base of the wing is a set of little, tiny control muscles that are not very powerful at all, but they're very fast, and they're able to reconfigure the hinge of the wing on a stroke-by-stroke basis, and this is what enables the fly to change its wing and generate the changes in aerodynamic forces which change its flight trajectory.

These devices beat back and forth about 200 hertz during flight, and the animal can use them to sense its body rotation and initiate very, very fast corrective maneuvers.

Well, for many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators.

Here's a fly and a large infrared view of the fly in the flight simulator, and this is a game the flies love to play.

So this is the preparation that one of my former post-docs, Gaby Maimon, who's now at Rockefeller, developed, and it's basically a flight simulator but under conditions where you actually can stick an electrode in the brain of the fly and record from a genetically identified neuron in the fly's brain.

So for the first time we've actually been able to record from neurons in the fly's brain while the fly is performing sophisticated behaviors such as flight.

Octopamine is a neuromodulator that seems to play an important role in flight and other behaviors.

So, ironically, I took a flight back to China and headed toward the North Korean border.

The space shuttle was an attempt at a reusable rocket, but even the main tank of the space shuttle was thrown away every time, and the parts that were reusable took a 10,000-person group nine months to refurbish for flight.

So the space shuttle ended up costing a billion dollars per flight.

EM: We're actually, we've been making some good progress recently with something we call the Grasshopper Test Project, where we're testing the vertical landing portion of the flight, the sort of terminal portion which is quite tricky.
