This is unreal! Some crazy Russian guys decided to jump from the roof of an apartment building into a pile of snow. They must have made quite a commotion in preparation for their jump as the neighbors were ready with a video camera and the police ready to arrest them.
Cirque du Soleil founder, Guy Laliberte, became the 7th space tourist to be launched into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. As the US Space Shuttle nears the end of its working life, the Russian Soyuz rockets will be working overtime, that means Guy Laliberte may be one of the last space tourists for a while. Here are photos and video from NASA as well as an RT report from the launch.
