  1. Ahahahahah…that expression is awesome!

    Nice catch!

  2. I hope Buck Rogers is okay!

  3. Jet-propulsion properties of shaked soda can be traced back to more than 40 years ago. In 1964, a 5 year-old argentinian girl, Mafalda, –I had introduced you to her before– designed her first space-suit using soda syphons.

    Specially dedicated research to you on the topic, below the report:

  6. Good one! Who was so fast on the trigger?

  7. Steve, thanks to your accomplishments, we’re all very proud of you. So much so, in fact, that you finally got that big promotion…

  8. Hahaha! =) Note the shadow: its so high contrast with such funny perspective that it almost looks like a composite.

  9. Ohman! That’s a sweet shot! And that’s what got into Alieness to bring us that great comic series!

    Note the baking powder engine. I think it’s a D4, by the healthy exhaust stream. You totally need to bring a high powered version of this to XRPS!

  10. heheeee

  11. Great timing!

  12. as summer gets round here in sweltering Hollywood, we’ll be doing some bottle rocket testing of our own!

  13. Very nice capture – I’d love to try something like that this summer:)
    (I saw this photo in Scientist Photographers group)

  14. thanks y’all. Here’s where the rocket went, if you are curious…
    Trees are Rocket Magnets
    with the answer to Victor’s question on how the shot was captured…

    But even funnier…. check out the professionals (200 liters of Diet Coke + 500 Mentos)…

  15. Whoa…..Very cool.
    Thanks for sharing in our summer thread.

  16. …I´ve just seen the video…

    😀 !!!!

  17. I just watched the video…hysterical!

  18. there´s some special fizziness about it…

  19. LOL Great shot!!!

    Thank you for adding this to the Summer Theme Thread in The World Through My Eyes

  20. Oooh, that’s silly !

  21. My father have just sent me an email telling me to be careful when I drink light coke because mixed with menthos can be explosive. And he forwards an email in portuguese about a child who apparently exploded or something.

    To calm him and to let him know that I know about this combination, I sent him the link to your post here in reply. =)

    Now, perhaps, this will worry him even more! 😯

    Guess I´ll write him again just saying that I don´t eat Menthos! -_-

  22. that ‘professional’ video is great. tempted to get down the cash and carry myself.

  23. Looks like one of those 911 moments!!

  25. thanks y’all.

    The WIRED blog just gave a nice post on all this:

    "…unabridged enthusiasm and the need for danger. Those are two things that we can’t get enough of here at the Gadget Lab."

  26. wow. I have seen that one of Sergey… I think it was "released" to the public domain in 2004… but there´s also one of him at the beach, which reconciles this one. (anyway he looks nice in white, many people agree(d) that it´s not that bad the photo actually!)

    Bill´s well… no comments. 😛

    Yours sorry but I don´t think it makes justice to the other 2. This is not embarrassing… because you didn´t pose for the photo. The other 2 guys gave consent !!! 😉

    Nice post.

  27. Snapped at JUST the PERFECT moment. Great shot.
