I Wish Things in Space Really Went This Fast [Space]

I was watching NASA's channel—admiring Discovery's pitch maneuver as it approaches to dock with the ISS—and I found myself thinking, "This is glacially slow." So I sped it up by four.*

While launching is a pretty fast business, maneuvering in space is even more boring than turtle porn. How are we ever going to have space battles, I don't know. But for sure, they will look more like Star Trek than Star Wars. [NASA]

Got this odd little move of a unique mouse that uses yaw and pitch instead of motion to move the cursor on the screen. Might be a little weird at first, but I do see the value. Any tech company that uses U2 in their video has to be on to something, right?

We couldn't figure out where this video came from on the Iguana Robotics page, but we'll do a little digging.
