The 7th Grade Science Project That Put Hello Kitty In Space
Hello Kitty is everywhere these days, and now she can add space to her list of travel destinations. This is all thanks to a 7th grader who put Hello Kitty in space for her class science project. The video of her and her Hello Kitty stuffed animal have gone viral, and I sure hope her teacher gave her ...
One Small Tweet: Travel To The Moon On Twitter
There have been a lot of Apollo 11 resources popping up all over the web ever since the 43rd anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepping on the moon for the first time on July 20th, and then of course, Neil Armstrong's death on August 25th. All the tributes to Neil Armstrong have definite ...
Whoa! A Saturn V Rocket Created With 120,000 Lego Bricks
When I look at this Lego build, the only word that comes to my mind is WTF. Wait, is WTF a word? I guess it's three words, but that's not the point. The point is that this thing is ridiculously insane in every possible way. Obviously creating Lego builds with over 100,000 bricks is becoming more and ...
Alternative Propulsion: Coca Cola Rocket Car
In a world where everything seems to be revolving around oil, we're frenetically trying to find an alternative to the gas problem we're facing. It isn't always about finding a new source of energy or finding something else we can deplete over time. It's mostly about making what we have at our dispos ...
22 Reasons To Explore Outer Space
I'm completely fascinated with outer space and the universe we live in. I read today that even though many people have always thought the universe was infinite, scientists are on the verge of proving it's finite. However, from a physics perspective, if the size of the universe has always been expand ...
Audio Gaming: Pew Pew Is Still Packing A Punch
I just love it when someone thinks outside the box for a change. We're already seeing all of these first person shooters packed up on the shelves at the game store. Do we really need another game just like the sequel before it? I mean, sure, it has better graphics and a better or different story ...
How To: Collect Your Farts to Fuel a Cannon
Manley has a dream, a big dream. Now that he's learned how to collect his own farts and store them, he hopes to use them to fuel a homemade cannon. After all, farts are combustible gas.
Let's back up a moment. First of all, I realize that writing about farts is not very lady-like; however, far ...

Wow, would you spend $200,000 for 2.5 hours in space? Leave it to Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic to start selling tickets for space travel. Right now, the tickets, which you can preorder directly from Virgin Galactic, are $200,000. However, according to Richard, in about ten years, an or ...
Geek Inspiration: Boba Fett Rocket Backpack
Going to school as a child was extra fun because of the new bags we got each year. I remember getting my first back pack, it was Hello Kitty. When buying our bags, the first thing we checked was the amount of space allotted to put our books and other cool back-to-school fun items like our pencil c ...
How To: Pull Out A Tooth With A Rocket
Here's somewhat of a really bad idea for a way to pull out a tooth. Believe it or not, this comes from a father who is trying to help his kid by making sure his tooth gets pulled out with as little suffering as possible. Even if it seems to work quite nicely, it still looks a bit reckless if you a ...
Can You Make A Rocket From Bacon? – Find Out Here
I know it sounds like a cliché, but I love bacon. I could eat bacon at every meal. I like my bacon crispy, even burnt. My son likes his bacon squishy. Between the two of us, we can tear through a couple pounds of bacon in no time flat.
I think that is one reason why I'm so amused with this vi ...
How To: Launch Your Face Into Space
I love everything to do with NASA and space exploration. I read about it all the time. The pictures that were released a few weeks ago of Mars were mind blowing to me.
I think my favorite images are still the New York Times gallery entited "A Moment in Time." If you haven't checked this out... ...
Make a Paper Jet Engine!
Ok time for some science! Most of my youth was spent (or miss-spent depending on your perspective) burning or blowing stuff up. It must be a boy thing, almost like a right of passage, who knows.
Anyway, a good friend of mine who is now lecturing as a Dr of Chemical Engineering in a well known Eng ...
