Chuck Yeager and Sonic Booms
On this day in 1947, Chuck Yeager became the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. Flying at those speeds seems easy to us now, but there’s some crazy stuff going on when you move through air that fast.

Arthur C Clarke Says I Told You So
Forward thinkers are the most amazing of people. One of the most amazing of which was Arthur C. Clarke, the late science fiction author who penned 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not only was he a forward thinking man, he apparently could tell the future as well.
The Life and Times Of Lightning
Mondays tend to be a slow start to the week for everyone. It turns out that even the lightning videos online move slow. Check out this crazy cool slow motion timelapse of the birth and death of several lightning bolts in a thunderstorm.
Goodbye Big Orange Tank
Hopefully you’re not sick of me posting about the Space Shuttle yet because I’m only getting started. The above image is a sad one for me. It is of the final External Tank produced for STS-134. It rolled of of the New Orleans assembly line to the tear filled eyes of many workers who are now winding down their jobs on the line, some of which have been there for the 37 years of production.
Back To The Future Hoverboard
I was reading about how the aging in Back to The Future II was way off, when I thought I’d look around and see if anyone has gotten around to making a hoverboard yet. Turns out artist Nils Guadagnin created this pseudo-working replica using technology by CreaLev. Though you won’t be using this thing to roll around the street any time soon, it is cool to see it floating on its own in the installation, which you can after the jump. The demo video of the window mannequin is also a cool proof of concept by CreaLev.
