After a failed petition to the U.S. government to build a Death Star, someone has taken up the cause to fund the construction project using the popular crowd sourced funding website Kickstarter. Thankfully, to help keep costs down and to help make the project a reality open source hardware and software will be used. Along with “enough chicken wire to protect reactor exhaust ports.” I can’t wait.

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn
As part of the new Halo 4 game release, 343 industries decided to tie in a live action series.

Having to cram all that story into an hour and a half can be a bit daunting.

Returning from the Edge of Space, A Tribute to Felix Baumgartner
Felix Baumgartner is slated to do a 120,000 foot skydive from the edge of space on Sunday, through the Red Bull Stratos Program. An attempt on Tuesday was cancelled due to weather. It’s an inspiring feat– defying gravity to get to the edge of space and shirking common sense by jumping out of a perfectly good… balloon.
While Baumgartner is at it, he will be breaking the sound barrier, going mach speed– like Chuck Yeager without the X-1. Incidentally, Yeager broke the sound barrier October 14, 1947.
