Check Out "Space Oddity" Sung In Space [VIDEO]

Wes — Mon, 13 May 2013 12:45:17 +0000

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. The only thing cooler rocking out in space would [...]

Wes — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:00:02 +0000

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. A “blue moon” is now [...]

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. I’m Mr. Short Attention Span. We had the question “would you go to space if you could?” My answer was, “I’d probably take too long?” You see, I wouldn’t want to take weeks for a ten minute look out of the window. Here with [...]

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.I saw some “live from space” shots and I hope they keep that up. This is NASA t.v. and they’ve done some replaying of the launch and other stuff, but hopefully they’ll [...]

What If Something WAS Found On The Moon? [VIDEO]

Wes — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 07:38:20 +0000

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.

Expect to see tons of “hilarious” pictures [...]
