I’m guessing morale at RIM was already pretty bad. Nothing more fun than the “we suck so everyone work harder” message…

On the International Space Station, an astronaut posted the image below. They injected an air bubble inside a big drop of water. Obviously the air bubble will only stay inside when’ there’s no gravity. This leads to fun with light waves.

For more on the science (of why the image in the bigger drop is inverted, but the inner image is not), check out Phil Plait. He gets appropriately geeked out over it.

NASA has produced a pretty cool video explaining the crazy challenges of landing a vehicle on Mars. From the top of the atmosphere to landing takes only seven minutes and requires a crazy combination of techniques.

I like the slogan at the end, “Dare Mighty Things”.

I’m not sure we needed any more proof that Amazon’s cloud capabilities are huge, but they just announced that their S3 storage just topped 1 trillion objects.

Not sure what to say other than wow…

Beautiful pictures taken with long exposure from the International Space Station.

It’s a start. Can we kill the patent trolls next?
