Red Bull Stratos

From PopSci:

Felix Baumgartner’s plan: Float a balloon to 120,000 feet. Jump out. Break the sound barrier. Don’t die. Simple, right?

If Baumgartner, a world famous base jumper and skydiver, pulls off the feat, he’ll set the record for the world’s highest jump and become the first person to break the sound barrier with his body alone. During the jump, he’ll also collect data on how the human body reacts to a fall from such heights, which could be useful for planning orbital escape plans for future space tourists and astronauts.

Check the video below. Red Bull did a good job putting the video together. Red Bull is genius in its advertising with these huge stunts.



Avatar – Behind the Scenes

I saw Avatar a couple of week ago and came away impressed. I did not come away with the “Blues“. Should be an awesome movie when it comes out in HD.

Watch the video below to get a behind the scenes look at the making of Avatar.

Hubble Space Telescope 3D IMAX

This March look for Hubble 3D in IMAX. It was filmed in cooperation with the NASA STS-125 mission which serviced and upgraded the failing Hubble telescope in May of 2009.






Definitely going to check this out when it comes out in March.

Cruise Life – Carnival Dream

I’ll get back in the swing of updating things.

I went on a cruise and it was awesome.  The ship was the Carnival Dream which is Carnival’s largest and newest ship.  It sailed from Port Canaveral, Florida.   This was the first 9 day cruise I’ve ever been on and definitely worth it.

Carnival Dream @ St. Thomas

Ports included: St. Thomas, Antigua, San Juan, Grand Turks, Tortola.    Note:  We skipped San Juan because of a port issue and instead got to Grand Turk early the next day.  Grand Turk was my favorite stop of the cruise.  This could be because  I snorkeled all day and watched Italian women come off the Costa ship wearing pretty revealing swimwear.

Carnival Dream:  Awesome boat with a lot of stuff to do on board.  If you go on this ship some things I would suggest you do.

  • Visit the Pasta Bar, Sushi Bar, Mongolian Bar, and the Burrito Bar (these places ruled)
  • Don’t get a cabin on deck two inside.  For some reason the crew thought it would be cool to do dishes and bang around at 4am. Pretty annoying, so I came prepared with ear plugs.
  • Sneak booze on board.   It’s expensive to buy it on the ship. Check amazon for something called Rum Runners.
  • Deck 5 hot tubs  are where it’s at.  This boat has four hot tubs on the edge of deck 5 and they are rarely crowded.
  • Hit the slides on Deck 12.   I was impressed with the “drainpipe”.
  • Check the sauna and steam room.  The sauna was co-ed and large and very hot.  The stream room was located in the bathrooms by the spa.

Carnival Dream and Costa Atlantica

I’ve been on both of these ships and both were a blast.  Note: if you get invited to go on a cruise DO NOT pass it up.

Check out my Facebook Photo Gallery of the cruise.

I Love The Whole World
