The Internet Is Losing Its Collective Mind Over ‘The Pale Blue Dot’


OK, that might be an exaggeration, but I’ve gotten this forward from more than a few people today.

All told, I think the video is tight. (Read: I”m too cool to admit it’s inspiring.) But I’d rather see it cut to news figures rather than filmic fare. I’d just hate to believe that 90% of the best of humanity reside within the TMZ.

But still very much worth watching. [Via]

Formula 1 Driver Flying Through the Streets of Paris in 1976

Unreal video. Something about the 70′s look and feel of the city really gives it so much more appeal. From the description:

“On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.”
