"Om te kunnen vliegen moest Panamarenko materiaal kiezen dat licht en stevig was", zegt Van Oosten. "Hij had polyetheen of polypropeen kunnen gebruiken, maar die plastics zijn niet transparant en hij wilde graag een doorzichtige ballon. Daarom koos hij voor 0,35 millimeter dik pvc, dat stevig is en ook transparant." | "Om te kunnen vliegen moest Panamarenko materiaal kiezen dat licht en stevig was", zegt Van Oosten.

LZ 129 Hindenburg was a German zeppelin. Along with its sister-ship LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II, it was the largest aircraft ever built. During its second year of service, it went up in flames and was destroyed while landing at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey, U.S., on 6 May 1937. Thirty-six people died in the accident, which was widely reported by film, photography and radio media.\\ | LZ 129 Hindenburg was a German zeppelin.

Such measurements have become increasingly important for providing information on the initial conditions from which the large-scale structure of the Universe has evolved. The detailed measurement phase promises quantitative answers to some of the fundamental questions of structure evolution in our Universe: How did matter first distribute itself to eventually form the bubbles, voids and galaxy clusters that we observe? What is the amplitude of the quantum fluctuations which existed before the Universe entered the `inflationary' | Such measurements have become increasingly important for providing information on the initial conditions from which the large-scale structure of the Universe has evolved.
