After 8 months of research, Luke Geissbuhler and his kids attached a HD camera to a weather balloon and sent it up from Newburgh in Orange County, New York.
In 70 minutes, the rig had risen 30km into the upper stratosphere, where the balloon burst and the camera fell back to earth, deploying a chute and landing safely, having recorded the curvature of the planet and the blackness of space beyond.
Take that, Virgin Galactic.

Derek ‘Claridge’s’ Quinlan, Nama property developer (he owes €600 mil – half to Anglo), resident of Switzerland and former, cough, splutter, tax inspector, is selling his Shrewsbury Road home. Don’t worry he owns two others.
The Irish Times is, of course, positively drooling:
Quinlan’s house, Derrymore, is in mint condition and extends to about 465sq m(5,005sq ft). Three spacious interconnecting reception rooms lead off the hall, which itself is large enough to accommdate the owner’s Steinway baby grand piano. A double drawingroom has steps leading down to a grand dining room with wall panelling (above) by Queen Elizabeth’s nephew Viscount Linley.
OK. Enough. Where’s that frickin’ cement truck?
closure (noun) 1. finality. 2. the act of closing something, eg a business or a transport route. 3. a parliamentary procedure for cutting short a debate and taking an immediate vote. 4. the thing that, according to Brian Lenihan, we now have.
The late Alexander McQueen took his design-cue for his infamous Spring 2010 heels from HR Giger’s Alien. The prototypes above can’t be bought, which is extremely bad news for the set of women who occupy the intersect of the Venn diagram below.
Sorry for even bringing it up, eh, xenomorph-loving fashionistas. And Lady Gaga.
On a positive note:
Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg produce this slice of sci-fi running-and-screaming-with-a-romance-thrown-in, which suggests the killers really just want to hug the lead as explosions rip through the scenery.
Release Date (Ireland): February 18.

The final of Australia’s Next Top Model on Fox8 the other night. A bit of a ‘mare for presenter Sarah Murdoch (Rupert’s daughter in law). And it wasn’t even her fault: she gets terrifying news from the producers via her earpiece at 0.42, and the cringe-fest begins shortly thereafter.
