This may be one of the coolest things ever. It's Colonel Chris Hadfield filmed in the International Space Station singing the David Bowie classic. Seriously, how cool is it to know that that guitar, those laptops are REALLY floating next to him while he does this.
Coming up on the 31st of this month, we'll have a "Blue Moon". Are you aware that a "Blue Moon" rarely has anything to do with the color of the moon? In fact, the explanation of a "Blue Moon" is even a little weirder than that. More after the jump.
It was a high school science project that they took to the limit. The limit of space that is. Matthew Ho and Asad Muhammed sent a homemade balloon, that they made with used parts bought from Craigslist, 80,000 feet into space! That's around twice as high as commercial jets fly.
I have a couple of the coolest videos ever for ya.
The space shuttle Atlantis lifted off for its final mission Friday morning.
Thousands gathered to watch the blast off, the final of the 30-year-old shuttle program, CNN reported.
I don't want to waste too much time telling you how cool this is because I don't know how long it's going to last.
The Blair Witch Project is probably the most popular example of a "found footage" movie. The concept being that stuff happened that was filmed and the film tells the story from there. I think it's an effective story telling gimmick and I don't have a real big problem with other people using it. The next stop is SPACE. Read more after the break.
How do I put this politely? Um the new stamp to commemorate Alan Sheppard's trip to space makes him look, uh, special? Yeah, really special.
In case you didn't know, this is supposed to be the last launch of a Space Shuttle. Some fortunate people were able to catch the event from their plane window. Enjoy a little history.
The U.S. will witness a total lunar eclipse tonight/this morning for about two hours beginning at 1:43 a.m. During this time the moon will be filtered through our atmosphere and take on an orange glow.
