Ok now we can go to the moon...(new amazing!)
But I sure recon this girl is dam guttsy
They did some amazing trick in the old days
with little or no technology as such! (-:
They also didn't have worker's comp so if you fell of the wrecking ball (that ya boss told you to get on) well.. SPLATT! Your bad.
Next worker fodder please!
The ol' biplane stuff is awesome BTW.
Not sure if anyone watched 'Big Bigger Biggest' last night but it was on the Gotthard Base Tunnel, a 57km long train tunnel through the Swiss Alps. As Engineer myself stuff like this just makes me go "holy s!@#", they started digging in 1996 and are still digging(some tunnels completed); it won't open till 2017. The man power, logistics, engineering hurdles etc they had to overcome to build this thing are straight up astounding!

Always impressed by how they can tunnel from both ends and be accurate to within centimeters when they meet up. They said something about drilling holes from above and using laser guidance?
