Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82. For young technology followers, Armstrong’s name may seem a little distant. But his journey to the moon in 1969 inspired many of our best and brightest to take giant leaps and push mankind forward. He came to represent American determination and our drive to achieve greatness.

Dreams of sailing through the universe at light speed have sparked human imagination since we realized our Milky Way was only one of many galaxies, but this incredible animation by Johns Hopkins’ Miguel Aragon and Alex Szalay and Adler Planetarium’s Mark Subbarao will leave you awestruck at just how insignificant our little corner really is.
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, you can now cruise past almost 400,000 of our galactic brethren, reaching about 1.2 billion light years away, but that’s only the beginning of what science has discovered.
One of the biggest bummers about Mars Rover Curiosity’s epic landing is that there was no news crew on the surface to catch footage of the descent. This full resolution video of Curiosity touching down from its own point of view is the next best thing.
This isn’t the first video of touchdown, but it’s the best. It’s the result of stringing together all the high resolution shots the rover took on its way to the surface, high resolution shots that took a lot longer to get back to Earth than the initial thumbnails. If it seems a bit choppy, that’s because Curiosity only took about four pictures per second. It might not be movie quality, but this is the best video out there of what it’s like to land on Mars. Incredible.
Logos are intended to represent the company, to express their philosophy or ideals and plant an image in the customer’s mind. These ten cool logos use negative space to create an image or convey a message to their customers. Can you spot the hidden messages in these companies’ logos?
In this post we have collected 40 well design negative space logo designs. Enjoy!! If you like these logo designs you might also want to check out our previous posts below.
As lovers of technology and slaves to the news cycle, we all get caught up in the next new thing. The cynic in me notes that the 43rd anniversary of the moon landing – an occurrence that changed the course of history with a completeness and intensity that few warmongers have ever been able to induce – is just another moon landing anniversary. It isn’t the 25th or the 50th or the 100th. It’s just something that happened 43 years ago today at about 8pm UTC. In short, two men – born helpless as the rest of us – through time, training, and sheer will, were thrust into space by the greatest minds of our generation and then stepped onto a lunar soil that the New York Times reported as being fine and powdery.
Thirty years, 135 launches. Filmmaker and artist McLean Fahnestock gives the NASA Space Shuttle program a proper send-off with a four-minute clip showing every launch at once.
As humans have begun to explore the mysteries of outer space, both by sending unmanned probes and physically traveling beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, a vast number of amazing pictures have been collected. Often photographs of outer space are recorded for the purposes of science, but are also often breathtakingly beautiful images revealing the wonders of the universe. This post brings together 20 of the most astounding pictures of space ever created.
The Army has been creating an island since 1998 on the Northeast coast of the United States. Slowly, the US Army Corps of Engineers built concrete dikes to establish its perimeter and then have spent more than decade filling them with mud.
Its name: Poplar island.
Fortunately, no weird stuff is going on there (that we know of, anyway). Poplar Island, which is being rebuilt in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, is 30 miles south of Baltimore Harbor, where all the mud is coming from.
