To allow public access to orbit, we would need breakthroughs that would lower the cost by a lot more than an order of magnitude and increase safety by a factor of 100 as compared to every launch system used since the first manned space flight. I think airborne launch will be a significant part of the safety solution.

What the experts are telling me is that there's very little chance that Ebola is going to mutate into something that could spread directly through the air. The real concern is not whether Ebola could go airborne, but whether it could spread faster.

Ebola isn't a respiratory virus. It doesn't spread through the airborne route. So it's not likely to spread like wildfire around the world and kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. That's what I think of as the next big one.

Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.

My first job ever real job in the field was as an airborne traffic reporter and producer in Los Angeles, but I was laid off pretty quickly - which was totally fair, because I'm terrible with directions, and that's kind of the whole job.

Unlike the visible and heavily regulated airborne emissions from power plant smokestacks, coal ash is largely unseen unless there is a major spill and, until recently, far less effectively regulated.

Initially, there were a lot of fears that Ebola could mutate to become the airborne Andromeda strain that would wipe us all out.

We don't know what we don't know about Ebola. We think we know it's a virus, but is it mutating? Can it be spread by airborne?

American Politician

Used to describe something that has taken off and is flying.

Physical Movement

Can imply a rapid transition from rest to motion, not always literally flying.

Figurative Use

Often refers to particles or substances that cannot be seen but can affect us.

Invisible Hazards

Shows how pollution or diseases can spread through the air over large areas.

Spread of Contaminants

Associated with specialized military units and operations delivered by aircraft.

Military Jargon

Implies a capability for fast and agile response within military contexts.

Quick Deployment

Airborne in a military sense can suggest elite status and specialized training.

Elite Units

 though proper care and rehydration therapy can significantly reduce mortality rates in patients. Fortunately, while Ebola is highly virulent, several factors limit its contagiousness. Unlike viruses that proliferate through small, airborne particles, Ebola only exists in bodily fluids,

 and they'll stay airborne for hours? And yet, for many new working mothers, this is the only place during the day that they can find to make food for their newborn babies. I put these things, a whole dozen of them, into the world. I wanted to make a point.

 You'll see the pattern -- airborne, just like carriers. Armor goes this way. Here's the dirty secret of the Air Force, you can win by bombing. But you need lots of these guys on the ground to win the peace. Shinseki was right with the argument.

 Plants don't have to rely solely on those airborne broadcasts. Signals can travel below the soil surface, too. Most plants have a symbiotic relationship with fungi, which colonize the plants' roots and help them absorb water and nutrients.
