Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Uchinoura Space Center (内之浦宇宙空間観測所, Uchinoura Uchū Kūkan Kansokusho) is a space launch facility close to the Japanese town of Kimotsuki, in Kagoshima Prefecture. Before the establishment of the JAXA space agency in 2003, it was simply called the Kagoshima Space Center (鹿児島宇宙空間観測所). All Japan's scientific satellites were launched from Uchinoura prior to the M-V launch vehicles being decommissioned in 2006. It continues to be used for suborbital launches, and has also been used for the Epsilon orbital launch vehicle. Additionally, the center has antennas for communication with interplanetary space probes.

Japans Laptop-Controlled Space Rocket Launch
Laptops Launch Rocket Into Space

Japan sends a satellite into space using a new low-cost rocket and a conventional desktop, paving the way for cheaper launches.

Japan has sent a rocket into space with a launch co-ordinated from two laptops in a control centre manned by a crew of just eight people.

Up to 1,000 people gathered at a public viewing site in Tokyo to see Epsilon - the nations first new rocket in 12 years - successfully blast-off into space from the Uchinoura Space Centre in Kagoshima, in southwestern Japan.

Lift-off had originally been scheduled for August 27 but was aborted with just seconds to go following a computer glitch.

Epsilon - which is carrying a telescope to observe the solar system - was launched at half the production and launch costs of the previous M-5 rocket at 3.8bn yen (£24m) because of a new computer system that can perform its own checks and can be assembled quickly.

A much smaller crew was involved, compared with the about 150 people needed when Japan has previously launched its mainstream H2-A rocket.

Epsilon is half the size of the H2-A and a successor to the solid fuel M-5 rocket that was retired in 2006 due to its high cost.

Japan hopes it will be a cheaper and more efficient method of sending satellites into space, paving the way for a more competitive operation in a growing, international industry.

The three-stage Epsilon - 24 metres long and weighing 91 tonnes - released the SPRINT-A telescope at an altitude of about 620 miles as planned.

It has been hailed as the worlds first space telescope for remote observation of planets including Venus, Mars and Jupiter from its orbit around Earth, by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Epsilon has also been equipped with artificial intelligence for the first time in the world that allows autonomous launch checks by the rocket itself, according to JAXA.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the success of a genuinely homemade rocket was a fruit of Japans expertise and technology in space development.

It demonstrates Japanese space technology is highly reliable, he said in a statement. He added that the success would lead to a self-sustainable space transportation system and to help Japans economic growth.
