Millennium Falcon's Glide

In what seems to be a tradition now, a group at MIT imagined how the Millennium Falcon would perform if it lost its engines during atmospheric flight. Their hypothetical scenario took place in the Battle of Endor, with the Falcon flying at an altitude of 2 kilometers. Could Han Solo and Chewbecca safely glide the craft down? (Image credit: S. Costa et al.; see also X-Wing Re-entry and AT-AT Flow) Read the full article

I'm sure I'm not the first to think this up.

In honor of where it all began, I decided to draw my own version of all of the original Toa Canister art for each of the 6 original Toa

Lewa is an adventurous and fun loving, and joyful Toa who has a reckless daredevil nature because he has complete faith that the Toa will always succeed, though he grows to appreciate the perils they face and take situations seriously. At first Lewa was not interested in joining a team much like Tahu and Kopaka he originally preferred to work alone not out of a sense of stubbornness and pride but more because he just wanted to explore on his own and felt he could tackle any adversity on his own, though his impulsiveness tended to get him in danger and brainwashed one too many times...3 different times actually and one of those times was by the actual Bionicle equivalent of Cthulhu! 

Lewa would mature and learn from his mistakes but never completley loses his individualistic mindset. Unlike the rest of his team, Lewa has a tendency to speak in a form of slang called "Treespeak" that seems to be an exclusive trait of Le (Air) Toa and Matoran, where they would combine words like "Darkluck" to mean Unfortunate or "Leafdawn" to mean Springtime. 

Primary Mask: Miru (Mask of Levitation) His Mask makes him nearly weightless and allows him to leap exceptionally large distances or slow his falls.

Horizon Forbidden West

"Whatcha doing?" "Gliding down from a mountain, the usual."

I can't tell you how hard it is for me to get a good shot while gliding down, but i got it. ^^

Half a dozen splendid tree-trunks, all newly cut and newly lopped of their branches, had been lashed together to make a raft, and were going swiftly down the river.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The wind never failed but it grew gentler every day till at length the waves were little more than ripples, and the ship glided on hour after hour almost at if they were sailing on a lake.
