    Australian Wildfires - 16

    It is the middle of summer Down Under and tempretures are soaring. Four of the county’s hottest 10 days on record have been in 2013. With that, brush fires are spreading across the entire country. These fires are fueled by dry land and high winds. Hundreds of thousands of acres have been burned and 35,000 firefighters are battling the raging infernos. Most news agencies are reporting on the fact that 2012 was the warmest year on record in the United States but they aren’t talking about Australia but the pictures are shocking.

    Last night at the launch event for AXE Apollo there was a special guest appearance. Buzz Aldrin. The second bro to ever step foot on the Moon. Take a moment to read his Wikipedia. The stories of his genius level intelligence and fearlessness in the face of unimaginable danger is awe-inspiring. Buzz didn’t do any press at the event and only showed face for a moment but I seized the opportunity by blowing past security and got to shake the hand of this American legend. Buzz was an critical piece in realizing the the dream of JFK as he said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard” and because of this we pulled together a collection of his most iconic photos, as they are some of the most important photos in history.

    When Hurricane Sandy rolled through the tri-state it left an isolated 11-mile peninsula in Queens called “The Rockaways”in tatters. The town was completely ripped apart and the US Army Corp of Engineers is using it as a case study on how to better prepare coastal towns for suture storms. It’s been over two months since the Superstorm so let’s check in to see how the recovery effort is going.

    Oscar Pistorius of South Africa celebrates winning the Men's 400m T44 Final during the London 2012 Paralympic Games

    2012 was an incredible year for sport. Records broken, if not shattered. Olympics fever was at an all time high. Feats of speed and strength awed crowds. The fastest man in the world left us speechless, while the reigning boxing champion of the world lay unconscious, face in the canvas. Heroes retired from their respective games, whether riding off into the sunset for a curtain call, or face in hands, hanging in shame. We’ve experienced bevy of sports controversies, as well as mountain top triumphs, and all tell their respective stories in photos. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of moments that could have been included in this list but we’ve weeded through them all and narrowed it down to the 100 most powerful sports images of 2012.

    Night view of Paris with Eiffel Tower and St. Pierre de Montmartre

    Paris is often called “La Ville-Lumière”or the “The City of Light,” a name it owes first to its fame as a center of education and ideas during the Age of Enlightenment, and later to its early adoption of street lighting. There are few cities in the world more impressive looking than Paris at night.

This prehistoric tree was already a more than a century old when the first pyramid was built in Egypt.

    Hoboken Hurricane Sandy Photos - 58

    [ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: NOVEMBER 2, 2012] If there is a “homebase” of RSVLT.com it is certainly Hoboken, NJ. We sponsored the Back To Hoboken Bar Crawl, threw the official Mumford & Sons concert pre-party and even launched the RSVLTS.com X Hoboken channel. We are pretty devastated by the reports coming out of the Mile Square and now, as the town attempts to clean up, we can finally take a look at the destruction left by Hurricane Sandy. It may look back by teh people of Hoboken are resilient and there is no doubt that the city will band together and bounce back stronger than ever.

    [ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: October 30, 2012] Hurricane Sandy was the most powerful storm to ever make landfall on the United States east coast, north of the Carolinas. It hit southern New Jersey at 6.30pm local time and laid waste to the majority of the Northeast during the day. Currently 48 people across the US and Canada have been reported dead, but the final figure is expected to be significantly higher.  Hundreds of thousands of people are without power in New York and the transit system, schools, the stock exchange and Broadway are all out of action after a 13ft wall of water caused by the storm surge and high tides brought severe flooding to subways and road tunnels. There are dozens of photos flying around the web and we’ve compiled all of them in one place.

    San Francisco Giants 2012 World Series Riot Photo - 03

    What a night! The timing of RSVLTS.com’s trip to San Francisco couldn’t have been any better. First off, we left NYC only hours before Hurricane Sandy hit, WTF. We also arrived in time to celebrate the Giants beating the Tigers to win their second World Series in three years. Lucky for us our hotel was about half a block from the impromptu fan riot at the intersection of 3rd Street and Market Street. Obviously we bolted out of the hotel with camera in hand to cover the action. There are three types of people at any fan riot. Observers, instigators and idiots. The observers sit on the sidelines watching the action. In the case of San Francisco, 90% of them were smoking the weed. There were also plenty of people capturing the hooliganism on their iPads, which was a hilarious sight that felt perfectly cliche in San Francisco. Then you have the instigators and the idiots. The two go hand-in-hand. The instigators are the guys yelling f”–k the police” for no apparent reason and giving glass bottles to drunk idiots and daring him to throw it. Most of the instigators at this riot (see the guy in the white shirt above, dude more »

    When the Concorde retired in 2003 supersonic travel became limited to the likes of jet fighter pilots and Felix Baumgartner. But not for long! XCOR Aerospace will bring back travel faster than the speed of sound when they launch the Lynx, a suborbital commercial spacecraft, which will take off and land like a conventional plane, but offer a cruising speed of Mach 3.5, 62 miles above the ground. The first test flights will take place in early 2013 in New Mexico and although the design is not final yet below you can look at the craft that could make point to point travel in space a reality, and send passengers from New York to Tokyo in an hour and a half.

    Come Tuesday, weather permitting, Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner will attempt to be the first person to break the sound barrier in free fall. The mission will take Felix 23 miles above Earth in a small space capsule. He will then step out of the capsule and plunge to Earth hoping to reach speeds that exceed 690 mph. The vessel is rigged with 15 cameras so that the entire Red-Bull sponsored event can be broadcast live online. It’s an unthinkably dangerous stunt that will test the limits of the human body in one of the most brutal environments: Air pressure is practically nonexistent and temperatures can sink to negative 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Our friends at BusinessInsider put together an interesting compilation to show you how the stunt will happen step by step.
