MTV

Some of the cartoons MTV has produced:. Estes Industries currently offers several flying model rockets of SpaceShipOne. Most of its other cartoons have lasted only for a single season, despite usually being original and creative. SpaceShipOne became a popular model rocket in 2004. MTV has a history of cartoons with mature themes, the most notable probably being Beavis and Butt-head, and its spin-off, Daria. A piece of SpaceShipOne's carbon fiber material was launched aboard the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.[1]. However many people believe that MTV is liberal biased. However, it appears that Burt Rutan decided not to risk damage to the historic craft.

Presidential election, airing programs focused on the issues and opinions of young people, including a program where viewers could ask questions of Senator John Kerry on live TV. Future flights of SpaceShipOne are no longer anticipated to occur, however an extensive flight program was originally envisioned to proceed after the X2 flight, before retirement to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It covered the 2004 U.S. Louis and the Bell X-1. Other politically diverse programmes include True Life, which documents people's lives and problems, and shows an epilogue of after the show was shot; MTV News Specials, which centers on very current events in both the music industry and the world; and a lot of other shows based on the current times. It was unveiled on Wednesday October 5, 2005 in the Milestones of Flight gallery and is now on display to the public in the main atrium between the Spirit of St. The group ended up being caught in the midst of an attack outside of the hotel and were subsequently flown out of the country. After the airshow, the aircraft was flown to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum to be put on display.

MTV aired a popular band's Sum 41 trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, documenting the conflict there. On July 25, 2005 SpaceShipOne landed at the Oshkosh Airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. presidential election (two years ago the network spent a large amount of time on the 2004 election), and war in other countries, among other topics. SpaceShipOne's spaceflights have been watched by large crowds at Mojave Spaceport. These shows include: "think MTV," which talks about current political issues such as gay marriage, the U.S. Designation sequence: SpaceShipOne — SpaceShipTwo — SpaceShipThree. After so many shots to the network about the content of programmes, they started showing a plethora of political and economic shows. Comparable aircraft:.

The song Stinkfist by Tool was renamed "Track #1" since the title was considered "too offensive for public consumption" . Related development: Scaled Composites SpaceShipTwo – Scaled Composites Model 318. Also, the song "Four Kicks" by Kings of Leon has the words "guns" and "switchblade" censored in the chorus. **Most info from astronautix.com. Edits include "45" by Shinedown (it is renamed "Starring Down" and a good portion of the chorus is edited to eliminate gun references), "We Are All On Drugs" by Weezer (It is renamed "We Are All In Love" and lyrics are changed from "On Drugs" to "In Love", and "Hash Pipe" by Weezer (the word "Hash" is obscured, and the vocal has been edited to sound like "Half"). This is not an absolute speed. MTV has also heavily edited a number of music videos, frequently to remove references to drugs or weapons. In the table below, the "top speed" reported is the Mach number at burn-out (the end of the rocket burn).

The creators of Jackass often felt that MTV's producers did not let the show run its free course due to the excessive restraints under which they put the Jackass team. If the actual flight differs in category from the intended flight, two letters are appended: the first indicating the intended mission and the second the mission actually performed. This was most prevalent in the eventual decline of the hit show Jackass. An appended C indicates that the flight was a captive carry, G indicates an unpowered glide, and P indicates a powered flight. MTV has also come under criticism for being far too politically correct and sensitive when it came to censorship. One or two letters are appended to the number to indicate the type of mission. Afterwards the NFL indicated that MTV would not produce any further Super Bowl halftime shows, or any public event. Flights of SpaceShipOne are numbered, starting with flight 01 on May 20, 2003.

This infamous halftime show featured the exposure of one of Janet Jackson's breasts, which was shown on live television. They have qualified to fly SpaceShipOne by training on the Tier One flight simulator and in White Knight and other Scaled Composites aircraft. The channel also faced criticism in the wake of the Super Bowl XXXVIII half time show — which it had produced. Melvill is a test pilot, Binnie was a Navy pilot, and Shane and Siebold are engineers at Scaled Composites. 1 Because of the criticism the channel received over this, both MTV and VH1 decided to show the whole 10-hour Live 8 concert again the following weekend, this time without any commercial breaks or VJ interruptions. The astronauts come from a variety of aerospace backgrounds. MTV VJ's came onscreen to talk during the first guitar solo in "Comfortably Numb," then cut back for a few seconds before playing a commercial. The SpaceShipOne pilots are:.

The epitome of this was the widely reported decision to cut to commercial during Pink Floyd's performance in London, which was bassist Roger Waters' first performance with the rest of the band since 1981. Ansari X Prize flights followed, with flight 17P on October 4, 2004, winning the prize. The broadcast of music was limited, as the network cut to its on-air personalities, celebrity interviews, and commercials in the middle of live acts. Flight 15P on June 21, 2004, was SpaceShipOne's first spaceflight, and the first privately funded human spaceflight. MTV and VH1 drew heavy criticism for their coverage of Live 8, the multinational concert of musical artists which raised awareness for African debt relief. On June 17, 2004, Mojave Airport reclassified itself (part-time) as the Mojave Spaceport. The show also airs homosexual daters, which can be seen as controversial due to its open sexual nature that is open to viewers of various ages. This license permits the company to conduct powered test flights for one year.

There are also critics of MTV and their reality shows such as NEXT, the game dating show that demoralizes individuals by making the daters complete various tasks and games only to be "Nexted" when they were not pleasing enough because of their looks. On April 1, 2004, Scaled Composites received the first license for sub-orbital rocket flights to be issued by the US Department of Transportation. It was also said by someone that 'MTV was porn for children!' (later in the evening and during the night, MTV tend to show slightly more adult-themed programming, most of the adult-themed programming was pornographic movies and shows). The first powered flight, flight 11P, was made on December 17, 2003, the 100th anniversary of the first powered flight. There have also been some critics who have said that MTV promotes bad behavior (mainly premarital sex, war propaganda, and even recreational drug use) to the youth of America by embracing the behaviors of certain celebrities who are not good role models. Glide tests followed, starting with flight 03G on August 7, 2003. Although it could be argued that MTV is simply giving airtime to the most popular acts in a given country, the counter-argument could also be made that these acts get popular simply because of the exposure that MTV gives them. SpaceShipOne's first flight, 01C, was an unmanned captive carry flight test on May 20, 2003.

Critics also claim that bands sell well because they get a lot of exposure on MTV, rather than MTV picking the best bands to promote; and that MTV has too much influence in the music industry. All of its flights have been from the Mojave Airport Civilian Flight Test Center. Ironically, the channel has also been criticized for lacking programming. N328KF is registered as a glider, reflecting the fact that most of its independent flight is unpowered. MTV UK has also been attacked for over-use of on-screen graphics, such as logos, programme promotion and countdown timers, and its electronica-themed genre channel MTV Dance is often derided for playing a lack of dance music during the day, preferring a mix of pop-dance, pop, and R&B. The original choice of registry number, N100KM, was already taken. MTV channel does occasionally play music videos (albeit rarely) instead of exclusively relegating them to their genre channels. 'N' is the prefix for US-registered aircraft; '328KF' was chosen by Scaled Composites to stand for 328000 (k{ilo}) feet (about 100 kilometers, the officially designated edge of space).

The primary U.S. SpaceShipOne is registered with the FAA as N328KF. The same criticism has also been made of MTV in the USA, with its dearth of music videos, and its stronger focus on reality shows such as Road Rules, The Real World, Laguna Beach, and others as well. . Videos are also often played between other shows and at night. During its testing regime, SpaceShipOne set a number of important "firsts", including first privately-funded aircraft to exceed Mach 2 and Mach 3, first privately-funded spacecraft to exceed 100km altitude and first privately-funded reusable spacecraft. Many argue, however, that as MTV runs nine music channels in the UK, it has delegated music videos to its genre channels in a bid to differentiate itself from the competition of the fourteen other music video-oriented channels. New funding comes from British tycoon Richard Branson, who is to fund the successor SpaceShipTwo for his new company Virgin Galactic through a 21 million US$ deal.

MTV UK has recently been under fire as it no longer airs any daytime music videos, outside of parts of a few shows like Total Request Live and Making the Video, and focuses primarily on MTV produced reality shows such as The Osbournes and Punk'd. Development costs were estimated to be $25-million, funded largely by Paul Allen. As early as 1985, some musicians were criticizing MTV for these reasons, perhaps most famously Dead Kennedys with "MTV − Get off the Air". On June 21, 2004, it made the first privately-funded human spaceflight, and on October 4, it won the $10-million Ansari X Prize, by reaching 100 kilometers in altitude twice in a two-week period with the equivalent of three people on board, with no more than ten percent of the non-fuel weight of the spacecraft replaced between flights. Because of its visibility as a promotional tool for the recording industry, MTV has been criticized as overly commercial and accused of denigrating the importance of music in the music industry (replacing it with a purely visual aesthetic); this is an ongoing problem for punk and emo bands. SpaceShipOne was developed by Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan's aviation company, in their Tier One program, without government funding. This is in part because many young African-Americans prefer to watch BET rather than MTV. Accelerating a spacecraft to orbital speed requires more than 30 times as much energy as lifting it to 100 km.

Subsequently, MTV delved heavily into black musical acts, developing several hip-hop music-themed programs such as Yo! MTV Raps, and got rid of MTV X to make room for MTV Jams. The achievements of SpaceShipOne are more comparable to the X-15 than orbiting spacecraft like the Space Shuttle. Shortly thereafter, the network began heavily featuring videos from Michael Jackson's album Thriller, in particular "Billie Jean" and "Thriller", and Prince's album 1999, in particular the videos for the title track and "Little Red Corvette". The design features a unique "shuttlecock" reentry system whose half-delta wing folds upward at the center of its twin tail booms; this increases drag while remaining stable. MTV executives countered by claiming that there were few—if any—promotional videos available from black and other minority acts, although artists such as Diana Ross and The Jacksons had been making music videos before MTV existed. The Scaled Composites Model 316 SpaceShipOne is an experimental air-launched suborbital spaceplane that uses a hybrid rocket motor. In its early years, MTV was criticized as racist, since the acts it featured were nearly exclusively white. Flight 18P of SpaceShipOne was a spaceflight in the Tier One program that was anticipated to take place on October 13, 2004.

In 1992, the network would add a movie award show with similar success. Brian Binnie. Seen as a fit of self-indulgence by a fledgling network at the time, the "VMAs" developed into a music-industry showcase marketed as a hip antidote to the Grammy awards. In 1984 the network produced its first MTV Video Music Awards show. Madonna rose to fame on MTV in the 1980s, and to this day continues to use the network to promote her music.

Michael Jackson launched the second wave of his career as an MTV staple. 1980s bands immediately identifiable with MTV include Eurythmics, RATT, Culture Club, Def Leppard, Duran Duran and Bon Jovi. A large number of rock stars of the 1980s and 1990s were made into household names by MTV. Several noted film directors got their start creating music videos, including Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and David Fincher.

The early music videos that made up the bulk of the network's programming in the '80s were often crude promotional or concert clips from whatever sources could be found; as the popularity of the network rose, and record companies recognized the potential of the medium as a tool to gain recognition and publicity, they began to create increasingly elaborate clips specifically for the network. The term VJ (video jockey) was coined, a play on the term DJ (disc jockey.) Many VJs eventually became celebrities in their own right. Fresh-faced young men and women were hired to host the show's programming, and to introduce videos that were being played. The early format of the network was modeled after Top 40 radio.

(With similar tongue-in-cheek humor, the first video shown on MTV Europe was "Money for Nothing," by Dire Straits, which starts and finishes with repetition of the line "I want my MTV," voiced by Sting; on MTV Latino, the first video shown was "We Are Southamerican Rockers" by the Chilean band Los Prisioneros.). It went to air with the words, "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll!" Appropriately, the first music video shown on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles (often wrongly attributed to one of their contemporaries with a similar name, The Bangles). MTV started in New York City but was available in most of the United States by the mid-1980s with the nationwide expansion of cable. [1].

The programming was created by the visionary music producer, Bob Pittman, who later became president and chief executive officer, of MTV Networks. At midnight on August 1, 1981, the format was changed to music video (using a concept originally devised and sold to Warner Amex by Michael Nesmith, previously a member of the hit pop band The Monkees), and the name was changed to "MTV—Music Television". The popularity of the channel prompted Warner Amex to market the channel nationally to other cable services. One of these specialized channels was Sight On Sound, a music channel that featured concert footage and music oriented TV programs; with the interactive Qube service, viewers could vote for their favorite songs and artists.

The Qube system offered many specialized channels, including a children's channel called Pinwheel which would later become Nickelodeon. MTV's roots can be traced back to 1977, when Warner-Amex Cable (a joint venture between Warner Communications and American Express) launched the first two-way interactive cable TV system, Qube, in Columbus, Ohio. . In the 90's, MTV was often considered to be the driving force in American pop culture, but this influence has dramatically declined.

MTV's combination of music videos, youthful video jockeys, irreverent commentary, promotion of special rock concerts, and news and documentaries about bands and performers established the network's popularity with youthful viewers, and it became a leading promoter of new rock music and rock musicians. In 1985, it was acquired by Viacom Inc., and was folded into MTV Networks, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. The network was founded on August 1, 1981 as an operation of Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment, a joint venture of Warner Communications and American Express. Originally devoted to music videos, especially popular rock music, MTV later became an outlet for a variety of different material aimed at adolescents and young adults.

MTV: Music Television is a young adult cable television network headquartered in New York City. The opening track on Pantera's "The Great Southern Trendkill" song with the same name include the lyrics, "Buy it at a store, From MTV to on the floor, You look just like a star, It's proof you dont know who you are.". XLR was directed by Chris Prynoski, a former MTV animator whose own show (Downtown) had been cancelled by MTV years ago. Cartoon series Megas XLR frequently features the destruction of billboards and other paraphernilia for a group called "PoP TV", whose symbol is clearly based on the MTV Logo.

Lyrics to Beck's "MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack" include "MTV makes me wanna burn flesh!/Having an orgy down in the satellite dish!". Lyrics to Reel Big Fish's "Don't Start A Band" include "And even if you make itall the way to MTV/I don't think you could take it all the bullshit and the greed.". Lyrics to Manowar's "Blow Your Speakers" include "Wrote a letter to the MTV/What’s goin’ on now/Don’t ya care about me.". Bowling for Soup's "1985," contains the line, "Bring back Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV.".

The song "MTV − Get off the Air" by the Dead Kennedys was a protest against the content and style of music that dominated MTV during the '80s. The declining popularity of MTV was noted as Bart scrawled "I no longer want my MTV" in a Simpsons' season 9 chalkboard gag; a parody of Dire Straits' 1985 song "Money for Nothing.". George Michael's "Freedom '90" makes reference to the pressures the network placed on visual image: "I went back home, got a brand new face / For the boys at MTV". "Habla Tu MTV".
