"It's the lowest base jump in the world," said jump organiser Stefan Aufschnaiter. "Normally you need 50 or 60 metres. It's extremely dangerous," he said.
I am now about to attempt to break the "lowest base jump" world record - and whats more I will do it without using a paracute.

Successfully completed with no injuries.
I claim the new record with my fearless jump from a piece of paper to the ground - 0.1mm!
Just a couple of points ...(Puts on SpellingNazi hat)...
I think you were thinking of "grammar", not "grammer"
...(puts on MathematicsNazi hat)...
The original poster said "multiplied by x00,000", substitute an some integer for "x" and Bob's your Uncle, you've got a big number.
...(takes off all Nazi hats and sits in the corner drooling)...
Mars express is an ESA mission by the way. There are two twin NASA probes ('Opportunity' and 'Spirit') following on behind it. And a Japanese craft a bit behind that.
But the main thing it tells us is that planets are able to form in regions/epochs that were previously thought impossible....
Hence, the possible number of planets in the universe just went up a whole load...
Hence, number possible places for life to exist just went up a load...
Hence, greater chance of life existing spatial nearby...

100-ft = 90m?????
You didn't have anything to do with the previous NASA Mars mission did you?
BTW, nuclear reactors are not a new way of generating energy that was discovered in the last hundred and fifty years.
Nuclear reactors are just a new(ish) way of heating water.
Spinning turbines with steam to generate electricity is as old as your hat.
I don't think it counts a phobia if your neighbour is actually planning on eating you!
