Spacecraft escaping the Solar System
This shows the current positions and other interesting data of the five spacecraft which are leaving the Solar System on escape trajectories - our first emissaries to the stars. On this scale, the nearest star to the Sun would be approximately 100 meters away, and it would take Voyager 1 about 70,000 years to cover that distance.

Next up, Andreas Iniesta, taking on EVERYONE.
Formation Flight takes a break from spacecraft formation flying to bring you excellent photographs from the Euro 2012 Eurocup. First up, Germany’s Matt Hummels, walking among the Dutch in disarray.

Forgive the non-space post, but these basically look like starfighters. The 35 Draken built by Saab was Sweden’s first supersonic fighter. From this, I gather it was quite the aircraft.
