Space, if nothing else, is an awfully pretty place. This week over at Space Cynic lies the 53rd Carnival of Space.
Some of the highlights of this weeks Carnival include the following:
- Cosmic Chocolates -- Japanese chocolates designed on the Planets.
- The Space Elevator -- We're still a long way away from this one.
- The Earth from other worlds -- See what the Earth would look like from Saturn or Mars.
- Private Space Tourism -- You've seen Virgin Galactic's plans, now see the Russian plan that will certainly be ready to go much sooner!
Have a great weekend, and don't forget to read and comment on this week's posts here!
