The Bulldogs are Cheating

NASA released a number of different angles of Endeavour’s final launch including some shots from the Solid Rocket Boosters. This person has synced and placed these video streams side by side to give you a unique perspective of the launch. The SRB sep moment is just amazing as the cameras turn with the booster as [...]

Today was somewhat of a bittersweet thought as normally we’d be staying in Christchurch tonight, but since the earthquake only 2 of the hostels remain open and have no place for us.

  Day 5: Blue Duck Lodge to Tongariro proper (again) and the big-ass climb. If this comes out as absolute gibberish forgive me for I have done the most intense (and probably stupid) thing of my life.

The cherry juice turns the peaches a beautiful ruby colour [...]
