Have you ever wondered how fun it would be to perform a spacewalk from a Space Shuttle? Well, thanks to NASA and their amazing team of scientists, engineers, and fearless astronauts who were busy conducting different ExtraVehicular Activities (EVA) outside of the International Space Station back in February, you finally can.
As it turns out, the astronauts on the ISS were wearing GoPro cameras on their special suits to provide some amazing video footage as well as additional images from their EVA 30 and 31 missions.
Below, is the stunningly beautiful video result featuring astronaut Terry Virts performing a one hour-long of EVA spacewalk. This makes you want to join the walk, no?

Minuscule computerization is considerded to be one of the hottest things around the world nowadays, with all the MIDs and UMPCs trend that takes over. Still, it seems there’s plenty of room for more developements to hit the streets, specially when we get the chance to see the Space Cube tiny PC that apparently was first introduced in Japan and making a debut in Europe, thanks to the guys at PC Pro magazine. The Space Cube features a 2-inch square computer, coming with a 300MHz NEC VR5701 processor and runs a Red Hat Linux OS. In addition, it houses 64MB of RAM, a Space Wire port, which is the standard connection in NASA and the European Space Agency, a 1GB Compact Flash card, and a series of USB/VGA-out/Ethernet ports, surrounding the cube. Regretfully, it is not going to be cheap, as the estimated $325 pricetag jumped to $2,740, which are around 1500 quids. Nevertheless, we do hope the official rate will be more reasonable.
