Swedish house on the Moon

manhus2 There is a man from Sweden who wants to build a house on the moon. This entrepreneur, Mikael Genberg, started to build a one room hotel high up in a tree in a park. That idea got worldwide press coverage. Because this was a big success he started building a floating one room hotel (glass cellar) so you sleep between fish. These hotels are now all over the world.

In march 2013 a Swedish consortium will put a lunar module in a custom Dnjepr-missile. In the lunar module is a surprise packet the size twice a shoebox. This kit will transforms itself, once on the moon, in a nice swedish house. Six by two meters, with a lovely sloping roof. By tradition cottages in Sweden are built of wood but the moon cottage will be constructed of a very light weight material and be both collapsible and inflatable. It will last about 100 million years.

You can Shorten goo.gl links with goo.gl. I don’t understand why but now you can create links like http://goo.gl/LoeN that don’t go anywhere. This because your browser stops redirecting after some x redirects. This is what IE 8 does:
------------------- URI: goo.gl/LoeN IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.453 GET /LoeN HTTP/1.1 ------------------- URI: goo.gl/LoeN IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.671 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://goo.gl/iVC1 ------------------- URI: goo.gl/iVC1 IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.671 GET /iVC1 HTTP/1.1 ------------------- URI: goo.gl/iVC1 IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.734 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://goo.gl/1LyW ------------------- URI: goo.gl/1LyW IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.734 GET /1LyW HTTP/1.1 ------------------- URI: goo.gl/1LyW IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.906 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://goo.gl/9hdZ ------------------- URI: goo.gl/9hdZ IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.906 GET /9hdZ HTTP/1.1 ------------------ URI: goo.gl/9hdZ IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.968 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://goo.gl/SSq8 ------------------- URI: goo.gl/SSq8 IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:38.968 GET /SSq8 HTTP/1.1 ------------------- URI: goo.gl/SSq8 IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:39.046 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://goo.gl/J6rK ------------------- URI: goo.gl/J6rK IP: 66.102.13.101:80 Time: 23:08:39.046 GET /J6rK HTTP/1.1 -------------------

But http://goo.gl/LoeN is pointing somewhere. Please let me know if your browser reaches the final URL……..
