Moon Landing Was A Hoax. Not.

Did they fake going to the moon? Nope, not according to this chap. Interesting take on the whole conspiracy thing.. "by the late 1960's they did have the technical ability to send three men to the moon and back, they did not have the technology to fake it on video".

The NFL - A Bad Lip Reading

Funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Found on b3ta.com More from Bad Lip Reading

For All Mankind : Documentary Of Apollo 11's Mission To The Moon

Includes loads of footage and audio from the mission, commentary from those involved. I particularly like the 'bump / oomph' noise someone inside the lunar lander mutters when they finally make touchdown. It's long this, but with all the crap on TV at the moment, well worth a watch.

Posted on B3ta.com late last year, took me ages to find it again. Thanks to whoever it was.

Pale Blue Dot

Nasa's Voyager 1 is the farthest manmade object ever sent from Earth. Launched in 1977, it is now 11 billion miles away and has entered the 'magnetic highway'- the point at which it leaves our solar system. Shame Sir Patrick Moore (RIP) will not be around to discover what lies beyond.

In 1990, Voyager turned around to look back towards us, and took a photo of the Earth, a shot where our planet is so small it appears as a Pale Blue Dot. (Have a look below, that's not dust on your screen in that light brown sun beam)

This became the title of a bestselling book by Carl Sagan, and this stunning animation uses his words.

How many light years is 11 billion miles? Only 0.00187122571. In September, Nasa discovered a tiny galaxy 13.2 billion light years away. Blimey.

Impressive Cup And Ball Juggler / Conjurer / Comedian

Fairly obvious how most of this is done, but fantastic sleight of hand and comedy madness all the same. Yann Frisch won the 'FISM' this year, the World Championships of Magic. It was held in Blackpool. In July. Never knew something like that existed. Why wasn't it on TV? Maybe it was.

Paul Daniels also does some cup and ball juggling. "Say Yes Paul".
