Best I can make out from the translation, the Lun is one scary plane/boat/tank hybrid. Aside from the fact that this thing is enormous it has WWII style gunners plus, as if taken straight from the pages of some post-apocalyptic comic, missile tubes. Not just one or two, but six very large missiles. Designed for [...]

I simply have no words for this.

February 1, 2003. The Space Shuttle Columbia (Mission STS-107) breaks up during reentry killing all seven crew members. The loss of Columbia was a result of damage sustained during launch when a piece of foam insulation the size of a small briefcase broke off the Space Shuttle external tank (the main propellant tank) under the [...]

Bernard Pietenpol designed and built this plane (rather one like it) during the Great Depression. He called it the Air Camper, and for less than $2000 you can do it too. Plans can be found here. Found a couple of cool vids on it too. Check ‘em out.

OK, well plenty of people have seen it, but the original pilot that has never been officially released will be included in the Season 3 original Star Trek DVD release. Until now this version could only be found in the bootleg arenas. Memory-Alpha.org had this to say about it: There is a different, pre-broadcast cut [...]

The Mayans supposedly said that the world will end on December 21, 2012. NASA said they’re full of it. In a classic he said/she said NASA is tossing money into a campaign designed to dispel what they call internet rumours. There is also a doomsday movie opening Friday called 2012 about, you guessed it, the [...]
