NASA’s Project Firebee: Top Secret VTOL jet from the 50s.

The hair on my arms rampantly stiffen followed closely and uncontrollably by the ones on my back. My eyes widen, I forget to breath. The glowing warmth of my (working(inside joke)) radiator does nothing to dam the shiver that rolls across me. For a moment I am afloat, I am in space…. Then the video ends and it turns out that I had just leant back a bit too far in my fake leather office chair - I wasn’t floating at all! Frustrated, I look out the window for inspiration but quickly remember that it looks in to a little boy’s room. I shut the blind. What am I doing? I should go build a tree. I don’t. I break wind.

Outstanding stuff.
Mark your calendars!There’s a new comet coming that’s brighter than even the full moon!
A new comet has been discovered that is predicted to blaze incredibly brilliantly in the skies on 28 November 2013; current predictions are of an object that will dazzle the eye at up to magnitude —16. That’s far brighter than the full Moon. If predictions hold true then C/2012 S1 will certainly be one of the greatest comets in human history, far outshining the memorable Comet Hale-Bopp of 1997 and very likely to outdo the long-awaited Comet Pan-STARRS (C/2011 L4) which is set to stun in March 2013.
Martian volcano Mt.Olympus is so tall and so vast that someone on the surface can’t see the summit as it lies beyond the horizon. Since it has a gentle slope, you can simply walk up the mountain to reach space. Once you reach the summit and look around, it won’t feel like you’re on top of a mountain because the surface lies beyond the horizon and you don’t have low-lying plains around to give you an indication of how high you are.
