NASA’s Space Shuttle program may be over, but a space odyssey is just beginning for your feet. These cool Plush Shuttle Slippers turn your feet into space ships.
What do you do when you just want to get off of this big blue marble we call Earth? Well, you can call NASA and try to hitch a ride to the International Space Station. Or you could build yourself a replica of the Space Shuttle on your roof. One man in China did the latter.
According to Chinese site Xinhuanet, a 60-something year-old farmer in Guangdong province built this space shuttle replica. Naturally he put it on top of his house. I guess the idea is that if he ever takes off, that house will burn up and erase all traces that he was ever here. Good plan.
This replica makes the house stand out for sure. I wonder if the neighbors love it or hate it. I’m sure it does wonders for his property value.

Taking one giant leap for mankind, the XGV-A “Orbiter” represents the future of space exploration systems. An alternative to today’s rocket launches, the Orbiter sends astronauts or other payloads into space from a low orbit, facilitating and increasing launches and minimizing environmental risk. Virtually a massive, unmanned aircraft, the Orbiter boasts two giant wings and rear flaps equipped with five oversized Ultra-High Bypass turbofan engines. In other words – a big, powerful thrust range.
