Man Puts NASA To Shame!

A man named Robert Harrison spent approximately $747 dollars to put NASA to shame! NASA with a budget of a billion dollars must have been embarrassed! They called Robert and asked him how he did it? They were thinking he actually made a rocket to retrieve pictures of this quality in space. Of course how Robert did it may seem hard to believe that something so extravagant could be so simple! Here's how he did it. He put a camera into a polystyrene box and attached it to a helium balloon. The camera was programmed to snap 8 photos and a short video every five minutes. When the balloon reached an altitude of 22 miles, it popped. As the camera fell, a parachute opened and the box gently floated back to earth. Robert found his camera some 50 miles from his home with the help of a GPS locator. I have to say it got me thinking, how did NASA not know to try this?! Don't you wish our government would of hired this guy Robert Harrison instead of NASA? This would of saved us a lot of tax dollars!

3 More EarthQuakes Hit Chile

A magnitude-8.8 earthquake on Feb. 27, 2010, the largest in 50 years touched off what Chile's President Michelle Bachelet called "an emergency unparalleled in the history of Chile." Almost a week after the quake, aftershocks have continued to rattle heavily damaged cities along the coastline. Now three strong earthquakes rocked Chile this morning, just as the country was swearing in a new president. A 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit at 11:39 a.m. local time there, followed by a 6.9-magnitude quake 16 minutes later, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. A third, measured at magnitude 6.0, came 27 minutes later. first quake shook the ground near Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, near the Chilean coast. A second earthquake struck moments later. It was about 89 miles (143 km) southwest of Santiago. The third was about 86 miles (138 km) southwest of Santiago. A magnitude-8.8 earthquake on Feb. 27, 2010, touched off what Chile's President Michelle Bachelet called "an emergency unparalleled in the history of Chile." Its hard to believe that they continue to have earthquakes! Like they haven't experienced it enough! I will do my part to help out once again.
