The First Beer In Space

On May 27th, 2011 Natty Light officially became The First Beer In Space. Here’s is how they did it. The entire flight was filmed with POV styling as the can of beer entered the “Nattosphere.” The video is actually quite breathtaking. Amazing the camera caught the flight (and fall) without breaking.

Note: This event took place on May 27th, with clearance and approval from the FAA. The documented footage was posted on-line November 18th.

Ron Paul fact

Ron Paul Ron Paul is one of the more under-reported stories of the Republican pre-primary season. The Texas Congressman has won more straw polls than any other GOP candidate. In fact, Ron Paul has won more straw polls than Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann combined.

America isn’t the only country with drones

I think the general public might be a bit naive when they think of our mighty military. We might be able to kick some serious ass, we aren’t the only ones harnessing some dangerous technology. Today, more than 50 countries are using or developing unmanned aerial vehicles, or “Drones.” Here are a couple that make me nervous. See a more complete list here. (via Wired)
