They say there is no such thing as bad sex or bad pizza. I cry foul on the former but regarding the latter, it may be true. This goes especially if the pizza in question was served to you on the moon. It’s true. You’ll soon be able to get a slice of cheese bread on the biggest piece of cheese bread that has ever existed.
Ok here is the deal. You know how the commercial space industry is heating up? There’s Virgin Galactic, Bloon and a bunch of other companies vying to take the richest of us to space for a quick galactic jaunt. Due to this, a Russian company is planning a resort on the surface of the damned moon. This resort will, like any crappy turnpike hotel, have an attached fast food restaurant. The restaurant in question? Domino’s Pizza!
The project is going to be costing the big D in upwards of 15 billion dollars. A third of that money is being allocated to transporting the materials and food to the moon’s surface for construction purposes. Getting stuff to the moon is expensive.
Do you often fantasize about outer space? Do you also fantasize about balloons? Well, that last one is a bit perverse for our purposes it’s fine and dandy. Introducing Bloon, the space-faring balloon. Wait, what?
It’s true. This space balloon seeks to beat Virgin Galactic to the punch by offering space travel to the masses. Only instead of a nice cushy, Bransony spaceship you’ll get a big ole balloon. You say tomato, I say tomahto. In any event, it does what it sets out to do, namely deliver your sorry butt to Spock territory.
The entire trip will last 2 hours at a paltry cost of $156,000. Which, I may note, is also less expensive than Virgin Galactic. No word on when these balloons will launch but we’ll let you know.
So you like watersports. You may as well get the best of the best to be your vehicle, otherwise you may just end up “treading water.” Along these lines, then, let me introduce you to Sea-Doo’s brand new ace in the hole: The RXP-X 260. This watercraft will make a Neptune out of any old hack.
The Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 is here to make your watersportin’ dreams come true. Notice how the entire design hinges on the angle. That means it is great for racing and similar events. Two can ride on the unit’s 1503 XHO Rotax® 4-TEC® engine.
It won’t be available until 2012 and no official price has been announced yet. However, given the specs, one could assume it is going to cost you more than a few white pearls.
Yowza. This ultra-rare 1952 Ferarri 340 is about to go up for auction in California. It’s all set to go down later this year. You had better get your money saved now. I have a feeling this is going to go for quite a few pretty pennies.
This bad boy was originally built as a racer, partaking in several notable races in the 1950s. It cost just $14,000 back then. Estimates put the current worth as somewhere in the millions.
Here is what the Chairman of RM Auctions Rob Myers has to say about the vehicle:
“0226AT is arguably one of the premier collector cars ever built by Ferrari. Boasting a spectacular pedigree that includes such racing greats as Alberto Ascari, Carroll Shelby and Jack McAfee, it represents an important chapter in Ferrari’s early competition history, add to that its incredible rarity – one of just three built – and its matching-numbers originality, and you have a terrific car deserving of close inspection.”
Good luck everybody!

We all love our kids, so why not give them the best toy scooter money can buy? Designer Jerry Koza has just provided that toy scooter, in the form of the uber-fashionable and cool Torpedo Scooter.
The Czech designer has pulled put all the stops for this one, as you can see in the photo above. The “Torpedo” line is available in various colors including purple, yellow, red and other patterns that would look at home on a racing car.
The Torpedo Scooter line is available now for $1,100. That isn’t that much when you consider the smile on your children’s innocent faces.
Sure, Airbus offers the most luxurious air travel in the world, but are the planes transparent? Not yet, but they will be, according to the company.
Airbus has unveiled the futuristic design of a transparent plane that will come around 2050 for panoramic views. The plane is designed in such a way that the flyers would be able to see through the cabin and the roof.
The plane will no doubt boast all kinds of other bells and whistles as well, as is the Airbus way. These are likely to include moldable seats to fit any passenger and holographic golf courses.
Yeah, we said 2050. Don’t go looking for this model at the airport anytime soon. You’ll likely be old and gray by the time it’s available. Sigh.
Lamborghini, never to be outdone by themselves, have announced their most ambitious car to date, the Sesto Elemento. These limited editions Lambos will see no more than 20 made at a cost of around $2.8 million a pop. You read that right. This is Lamborghini’s most expensive car ever.
The Sesto Elemento is made of a range of composite materials, including a carbon fiber monocoque body shell and suspension parts made of forged carbon fiber. A 5.2-liter V10 engine taken from the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera that will deliver 570hp will power the Sesto Elemento. It will hit 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Wow. It must be noted, then, that this car is intended for track use. Thus the exorbitant price tag.
Still, if you can afford it, you can do whatever you want with it. The Sesto Elemento will go on sale at the end of the year.
Two of the most iconic brands around have joined forces. Hasselblad and Ferrari have created the Hasselblad H4D Ferrari Limited Edition camera. Hasselblad is now shipping the limited edition flagship camera for about $28,425 plus tax, and only 499 units are up for grabs.
The H4D Ferrari Limited Edition camera ships with the familiar Ferrari “rosso fuoco” color and bears the legendary Racing Shield. It comes packed inside an exclusively designed box with a glass top, which is labeled with the distinctive Ferrari Racing Shield.
Nothing like the feel of cruising down the highway on your hog, sweet mama in tow, listening to your, um, iPod?!
You heard that right. Hell’s Foundry have released the DashLink. It’s an iPhone/iPod docking station just for Harley users. It works with Harley Davidson FLHT/FLTR and FLHR models.
