Red Bull has done it again.
Luke Czepiela landed a plane on top of the helipad at the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.
The helipad is 56 stories high & only 88 feet long, and Czepiela did 650 practice landings before the attempt.
He’s the first pilot to land on the helipad.

56 years ago today, during the Gemini IV mission, my dear friend Ed White made history, becoming the first American to conduct a spacewalk. I will never forget him and how his many contributions to our nation's space program helped propel us forward, especially to the Moon.

I’m preparing to collect Martian samples in the search for ancient microbial life. As part of the process, I’ve been testing out the coring system on my robotic arm to make sure it works properly before I drill some of the interesting rocks around me.

12 years ago today, I went for a walk, a walk in space to replace the gyroscopes on @NASAHubble. Each of my spacewalks were the most memorable days of my professional life: extraordinary, magical, a bit stressful, but truly the realization of great teamwork and a boyhood dream.
