Still binging. But I can still at least pass on these:

A short video with really cool visuals by and mission personnel talking about Mars Rover Curiosity. (via)

Super-slow-motion videos of cheetahs running. As in, the first minute is one second of running. I love watching the head stay perfectly even amid all the motion. (via)

Oh, my! That cheetah footage is just truly wonderful. I know I've read that cheetahs are airborne for much of their running, but it was truly amazing to see the patterns of their gaits. And, as you pointed out, how steady the head stays, with hardly a bobble.
