Photos from space show ‘squashed’ supermoon.
I meant to go moon watching on Saturday night, but I forgot. Thankfully, a Dutch astronaut (Andre Kuipers) photographed the supermoon of 2012 from a window within the International Space Station. And let’s be honest, his pictures are much cooler than what I would have seen anyway.

Red Bull’s mission to the edge of space.
Red Bull is one of those brands that I’d love to work with. Everything they do seems to radiate awesomeness almost effortlessly. That stands true with their latest ‘Mission to the Edge of Space,’ whereby they’re hoping to ‘transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years,’ by sending Felix Baumgartner 120k feet in a stratospheric balloon to make a free-fall jump back to earth. If he does this, he’ll break the speed of sound during his free-fall! For their first “test”, Felix reached an altitude of 71k feet and had a free-fall that lasted over 3 and a half minutes, where he reached speeds of 365.5MPH. It’s crazy awesome.
