This Barbot pees in your drinks

Shake is a barbot that has an interesting way of mixing you a drink. Shake was made by Inertial Labs for the Barbot competition in San Francisco this weekend.

Could you skydive using an umbrella?

Think you could skydive using an umbrella? Mary Poppins did it and now so did skier Eric Roner. Mind you this thing was a big custom umbrella, just look at how beefy the structure is on it. So do you think he actually made it all the way to ground using this thing? Watch and find out.

This is ambitious to say the least. Denis Tito, the first space tourist and his non profit group Inspiration Mars want to send a couple to Mars, or to be more precise a Mars fly-by in 2018. It`s a VERY aggressive schedule but attainable according to some.

Introducing the Super Arrow

There`s been a lot of talk about the procurement of F-35 fighter jets by the Canadian Air Force. Specifically the cost overruns, in the billions. So what alternatives does Canada have? There have been talks about a version of the F-18 Super Hornet called the Northern Growler, but what else? Dare we think it, could Canada make it`s own fighter, does it have the will? They once did.

Russian meteor.... who cares!

Not sure whether this is real or fake but its good for a laugh. It`s only 10 seconds long but this Russian driver allegedly recorded by his dash cam (which are EVERYWHERE in Russia) doesn`t really seem to give a flying F when the now famous meteor streaked across the sky. On second thought its probably fake but hey, good for chuckle.

Now that`s one small step: Moonwalk recreated in the eye of a needle

British "micro-artist" Willard Wigan latest creation depicts the Apollo 11 mission by placing Buzz Aldrin's moonwalk inside the eye of a needle. In fact Wigan`s artwork is so small that a high powered microscope is needed to see the finer details of his work.

Just how big is the Universe really?

This is from Minute Physics and it gives you an idea just how overwhelmingly large the Universe really is, and at the same time it makes you feel inconceivably small.

Oceanwings: Fly underwater just like a manta ray

I was wondering when someone would do this is, seriously. These are Oceanwings, they look and act like wingsuits that base jumpers use except that these are for aquatic use. Currently these are a one off design, there are not plans for product yet, why I seriously don`t know.
