You don't need any fancy equipment to know that the earth is a sphere. If you watch a ship sail over the horizon you will see the hull disappear first, followed by the sails, then the top of the masts. Also, during a lunar eclipse the earth's shadow is round against the moon.

This guy proved the earth to be round in 240 B.C.E. in a totally awesome experiment.

Like Stephen says, there is no evidence of people thinking the earth to be flat. It was believed that the earth was the center of the solar system but that is because the bible said it was, and more importantly, the ancient Greeks thought it was.

If you think about it you would have to be very stupid to believe that the earth is flat. Travel in any direction and you can see things that you could not see before.

Thankfully they solved the issue of side fumbling, that was going to breach the containment matrix if left unaddressed for an extended period of time during the lunar gravitational shift osciallation cycle.

She was also unaware of how amazing her performance was when they recorded it. She came out of the booth and apologized. Just goes to show, you are not always a good judge of your own work.

In regards to the asteroid, videos like this make me want to start making Vaults around the world. Of course, Lunar and Mars colonization would be good too. It freaks me out to know that every living thing we know of could still be wiped out if the Earth was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We need to have some backups.

^ I like 1,3, and 5...and I guess 2 is alright. 4 kinda seems like a natural evolution of the sift.

This isn't UI, but how about (depending on your finances) Top sifter of the week/month/lunar cycle gets a free Videosift T-Shirt?

Weekly themes are a possible idea. For instance, this week could be "Cold War Week" and all Cold War related videos sifted this week could get their own feature space on front page.

How did this get sifted?

Yeah, anyway, we didn't "bomb" the moon as so many "news" outlets have been claiming; We crashed a spent booster rocket into it.

The only voice of reason I've been able to find in the news, surprisingly, is The Christian Science Monitor! See http://features.csmonitor.com/innovation/2009/10/09/nasa-moon-bombing-did-nasa-really-drop-a-bomb-on-the-moon/

If any one else loves the original game as much as me(hence the old school gaming tag). This is a pretty good remake of the original vector based atari game...

Found one of these with a broken coin slot (someone had turned on the infinite quarters switch) and spent most of an afternoon having a competition with a friend seeing who could go the fastest straight down before crashing. IIRC you would "abort" button to get some altitude then spin upside down (expert mode) and wall the throttle, adjusting to get into a crevass, not into the side of a mountain.

Good times. Good times.
