Friday Randomness! (Space edition)

I'm at an exciting teacher conference today, but here are a few fun things to get you through the weekend:

A hoverbike is actually coming out - one step closer to the Star Wars universe, but I still want a lightsaber.

Ever wonder what empty space would do your body without a space suit? Check it out - there's some good stories here, including a time that an astronaut's space suit tore and he didn't even notice! I'll probably expand on this link later :)

Find out more from the astronauts perspective in this long video - it took me awhile to load, but it's full of awesome images and real astronaut interviews.

The Aurora Borealis as viewed from space - want to know more? Ask in the comments!

There's a square "hole" on the sun - and scientists have no idea why.

And I bet you didn't know that NASA has trouble sterilizing things that are going to Mars - and they really want to, because we wouldn't want to discover life on Mars only to find out that we brought it there.

See you next week, and remember:
