The Terran vs Protoss matchups are usually pretty dynamic since there's so many options each player can choose to tech up to. Most tournament games so far only last about 10-15 minutes, but this game is just epic. Here's a Terran vs Protoss game that lasts over 30 minutes real time. It was played on Lost Temple, and almost all of the expansions were taken at one point or another in this game... craziness.

The Terran player has some great strategies and tactics showcased here. He starts out with a refinery before the barracks so he can wall off with a very fast factory/barracks combo. He immediately trains a reaper and a hellion and starts harassing the Protoss mineral line very early in the game.

Terran gets off to an early lead with a marauder and hellion push that destroys his opponent's natural expansion while he gets his own up and running. He then transitions into a lot of barracks for a fairly heavy marine/marauder army with some hellions. Protoss sees this and responds with Colossi so Terran starts pumping Vikings to deal with them.

This replay shows why it's so important to expand early and keep your economy high. Also how valuable it is to keep control of that center area as much as possible so you have vision of what your opponent is up to so you can keep them contained.

Immortals really shine as a meat shield for Stalkers and Colossi against a Tank heavy force. Absorbing all that splash damage and only taking 10 damage is huge since siege tanks shoot so slow in siege mode.

The Lost Temple has some high ground locations that you should keep thinking about throughout the whole game, not just for early harassment. The Terran player shows how much of a pain these can be by using just a couple of his vikings to harass the mineral line of the Protoss natural expansion. Always a good tactic to use to keep your opponent on his toes and distracted.

Blink stalkers are exceptionally difficult to deal with on maps like the Lost Temple where there is a narrow choke but a huge cliff that they can take advantage of with their blink ability. You must always watch for a Protoss player that uses blink effectively to get into the unguarded locations of your base to kill your unit producing abilities.

Medivacs are on your side though so while your opponent is distracted, load up a couple medivacs with marines and marauders to go take out any expansions that are vulnerable. If you can kill a couple of your opponents Nexus then you can pull ahead in the macro game and win the resource battle.

Always remember to keep teching and work up to the higher level units like Battlecruisers to support your army. It's important to remember the lower tier units as well though, as they never really become obsolete in Starcraft 2. Marines, marauders and hellions are always helpful and Battlecruisers are pretty vulnerable with no support.

Saturn Aura Marketing Gambit Pulls More Sales

The Saturn division of the General Motors Corp's is wowing auto shoppers away from rival brands this year and expects to attract even more as it rolls out a marketing program that offers direct comparisons with top-selling sedans from Japanese competitors, said the Saturn chief.

Over the past weeks, Saturn dealers have placed a Toyota Camry and a Honda Accord in their showrooms, challenging purchasers to take comparison test drives with the Aura. GM calls the first-of-its-kind marketing campaign the “Side-by-Side-by-Side” challenge.

“It really demonstrates just how confident we are in the product,” said Jill Lajdziak, the general manager of Saturn. The well-reviewed Aura represents a key advance for the automaker, which has been launching a revamped lineup featuring bolder European styling to reverse declining sales and revitalize the Saturn brand.

The Aura, which brought Saturn back into the highly competitive midsize sedan segment, has helped bolstered sales. With sales up to 21 percent through June, Saturn represents GM's best-performing brand at a time when the automaker has seen its overall American sales drop eight percent.

Lajdziak said that Saturn would get momentum from the Aura marketing campaign and other efforts. “It has bounced back in the marketplace. And consideration numbers are going up,” Lajdziak said. “I expect the consideration and the conquest levels to continue to rise.”

Executives at GM said that the Detroit automaker has improved quality, but not yet changed negative perceptions that go back decades. As such it has designed a campaign to close the gap. “One of the things we are trying to do... is to get people who would not have considered a domestic car to actually think about it,” said Chuck Thomson, the director of Saturn sales.

Such campaign, according to analysts, is pretty risky. Instead of drawing more customers, it could push some consumers to their rivals, especially if they found out that the competitors’ product lines are far better. But so far, the side-by-side-by-side campaign of the domestic automaker is serving its purpose well enough.

Data from industry tracking firm Edmunds.com show the Aura has gained traction. In May, the number of visitors to the Web site considering an Aura increased to over 48,000, almost double. From January through June, sales of the Aura in the United States totaled 27,229. That compared with 240,530 sales for the Camry and 182,346 for the Accord over the same period. “We picked the Camry and Honda because they are the two heavy-volume players in the segment,” Thomson said.

The Aura was also voted the North American Car of the Year by automotive journalists. This has added to the salability of the car. GM, which lost the top spot in global sales to the Toyota Motor Corp. earlier this year, has seen its American market slice shrink to roughly 23 percent from a peak of about 45 percent in 1980. As part of its turnaround, executives have said that GM needs to see Saturn turn the corner with its new product lineup.

Encouraged by the success of the Aura marketing program, the largest American automaker is considering launching a similar campaign for the new Saturn Vue, which is going out to dealers this month. GM is also considering rolling out a head-to-head marketing blitz for the new Chevrolet Malibu, which will be rolled off later this year. The Vue would rival the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 while the Malibu against the Toyota Camry, GM officials said.

Lajdziak said that the Saturn challenge showed the brand was regaining its edge. “I don't think there is a bolder, more confident statement,” she added. Apparently, the Saturn splash shield is not preventing the entry of more gains.

Temperature of Appolo reentry capsule shield just on splash down?

I'm asking about the early NASA space program. Appollo I guess it is probably spelt.

The heat protection around the craft which prevents it from burning up as it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere is not capable of holding the heat, it only can reflect it so by time it's about to hit the sea the temperature of the craft would be relatively cool.
