NASA scientist debunks 2012 end of the world doomsday scenarios.

After flying to an altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane.

The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and Endeavour flew over the Los Angeles area on September 21, 2012. It flew directly over Malibu, Dodger Stadium, California Science Center, the Los Angeles Colosseum, downtown Los Angeles, and the Hollywood Sign before landing at Los Angeles International Airport at 12:51 pm PT.

Ultra-resolution, smooth-motion, detail-enhanced, color-corrected, interpolated from the original 4 frames per second to 30 frames per second. This video plays real-time at the speed that Curiosity descended to the surface of Mars on August 6, 2012. I think it's wonderful that everyone on Earth has a chance to see this amazing footage from Mars :)
