This is an almost 4-mile drone flight up the French alps piloted by Romano FPV starting from Chamonix (altitude: 3379-ft) to the peak of Aiguille du Midi (altitude: 12,605-ft). That’s an altitude gain of 9,226 feet, or 1.75-miles. Damn, I would probably have trouble breathing all the way up there.

Because people are constantly coming up with new and exciting ways to stimulate the adrenal medulla, this is a video of people being blob-launched in a giant ball pit at some sort of trampoline park style amusement center. Admittedly, that does look like fun. I used to LOVE the ball

Because the things you can do with the human body are nothing short of astounding (I’m a bad example, sloth is not that astounding) this is a video of the performers of Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Kurios’ show practicing their human jump launches backstage. They make it all look so smooth

This is some bodycam footage from Valdosta, Georgia where police were making an arrest on the highway when a distracted driver launches off the ramp of a parked tow truck, traveling some 120 feet in the air before crashing back down. Holy smokes! The driver is currently being treated for

Floppy disks: they’re a thing of the past. And space: it’s the future. And, okay, my past, but I did grow up there. But enough about how stars are born, these are a couple enhanced videos of astronaut William Shepard ejecting floppy disks in space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery

Because what better way to get Santa’s attention than to hit him with a Christmas tree rocket as he flies overhead, maker of things Xyla Foxlin and Joe from BPS.Space recently launched an 8-foot Christmas tree model rocket into the wild blue yonder. Things go pretty smoothly until they don’t,
