Interesting, but they don't address the much harder issue of loading in the spuds and and hair spray on the fly. I could be wrong, but it looks like all they've got is a six-shot potato gun.

Still, this is far cooler than the projects my family used to undertake.

Great! Now we're going to have to live through the Martyrhood of St. Michael with all the obligatory two-hour primetime retrospectives and all that.

Nothing 'tiny' about those bats! Fruit bats are huge and their babies are still many times the size of the Pipistrels I'm used to seeing. Still, good on these folks for hand-rearing these endangered bats.

It must have been an interesting wedding since each 90 second long period of zero g is alternated with an equivalent period of 2 gravities. Yikes!

Ads on Neatorama? What a curious notion. (Firefox+AdBlockPlus)

Beautiful!

Amazing! I'm glad I'm not a kudu. Those San would make astonishing endurance runners.

Dude! I'm glad I didn't have to lug one of those to band practice every day. Cool sounds though.

The collapsible five-layer elevator is even cooler.

Any sufficiently arcane science is indistinguishable from "just making stuff up" to most people.

Seriously, if you want an explanation of how we know it's so far away, I'd be happy to explain it. It's actually pretty straight forward though certainly unexpected.
