Ocean Rescue by Seol-Hee Sohn, Seung-Hyun Yoon & Cheol-Yeon Cho » Yanko Design

So, I’ve been on a few cruise ships and have had that moment at sea where I wondered what the hell would happen if the damn thing sprung a leak. Sure, they show you where your escape ship is and all – and yes, I was only in the Caribbean – but that somehow didn’t seem to be enough for me.

That’s why I really, really like this water distilling buoy thingy. If they had these on the ships I have been on, I’d probably had kept one in my cabin or attached to me at all times.

First I mention the Chinese are helping the Saudis build a high speed train system, and now the Japanese have a freaking space ship.

It’s no Millennium Falcon but the H-II Transfer Vehicle is a damn cool look at the future of space travel. One that we apparently aren’t going to be a part of as NASA’s budget for manned missions was recently slashed.

Pity. Cocky American pilots was the only thing that was going to make space travel cool.
