Stefanie Gordon was on a flight from New York to West Palm Beach, FL and was able to catch on video and in a photo the launch of the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour.  It’s a great picture and video from 30,000 feet in the air.  Many people captured the launch from the ground, but only one has the view from a plane.

When on the ground, she uploaded the video to Twitter, which we have embedded below.

Ever wonder what it would be like to strap on a jetpack while on skis?  Well Troy Hartman did just that, as he used a personal jetpack at 50% power and got up to 47 MPH on skis.

Take a look at this contraption that was found along the USA/Mexican border. It’s a catapult that was used to launch drugs over the border into the United States from Mexico. I’ve heard of a few stories about underground tunnels that are used to smuggle drugs into the U.S., but this is the first method I’ve seen to launch drugs over the border.

Check out the top 10 plays of Derrick Rose for the 2010 calendar year. He is is currently playing for the Chicago Bulls of the NBA. Rose started his rookie year strong, becoming the first Bulls draftee to score 10 points or more in his first 10 games since Michael Jordan, and earned Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors for November and December.

During the All-Star Weekend, Rose played in the Rookie Challenge, and won the Skills Challenge, where he beat out several All-Stars to become the first rookie to claim the trophy.

An interesting twist on how typical sexist approach to advertising! Very smart indeed!

American Idol contestant Lee Dewyze once again delivered an outstanding performance. I’m a big Bowersox supporter and I still believe she’s the one to win. However, I can’t help but admire Lee’s rendition of a classic Leonard Cohen. Below is a Lee Dewyze Hallelujah Video in case you missed it last night or if you simply want to watch it again and again and again

Ellen says that the performance was simply “amazing.” Address Randy as the moment “the greatest Dewyze for me.” Kara assures me Dweyze “What is this presentation is everything” and “the heart of this season.” As expected, Simon Cowell was extremely satisfied with the chosen because it pays tribute to his favorite candidate.

That was the moment! That was incredible, beautiful, amazing… wow! Kara DioGuardi said that was an incredible, epic moment and Lee is the heart of the show this season, proclaiming he owned the night and the Idol stage. I think Lee really felt it and just made the song his own. We love him!

The 24-year old painter from Illinois also performed another great song “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynryd right before his video.

Crystal Bowersox got so-so reviews from her first performance “Come Through My Window” but her brilliance is simply unstoppable as she performed Ellen’s choice, “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney.

I’m not sure if I can call this funny or painfully stupid…I guess both. A reggaeton dance couple takes the phrase ‘break dancing’ a little too literally and a table comes to its end. Reminds me of the good old smackdown in WWF with Andre the Giant
