The LEGO Stratos Jump

Did you miss Felix Baumgartner's fall from space yesterday? His breathtaking 24.2 mile jump, the heart-stopping seconds while he went out of control into a dangerous spin, included? LEGO created it's own Red Bull Stratos Jump in this hilarious little video. Compliments of Mashable.com.



This was the real Felix, TV-image of the first second of his jump:

In the end it turned out that this wasn't the longest free fall ever, but hey, who cares, right?

I'm so jealous of people who invent stuff like this

You have to agree that it's a great idea, even though just a gimmick and probably a very expensive one: the complete Beatles catalogue digitally remastered on an USB stick looking like that! I'm not particularly interested in spending fortunes on Beatles catalogues (aren't they more or less part of the human genetic imprint by now?) but I would be crazy enough to want to have one of these ... With thanks to Mashable for pointing it out to me :-)
