If a 31-m (102-ft) long Lego model of the Severn Bridge doesn't do it for you, then what about a 17-m (56-ft) tall Lego model of the Burj Khalifa? The world's tallest building has been faithfully reconstructed at Legoland Dubai.

Images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) indicate the unmanned the Schiaparelli spacecraft exploded on impact with the Martian surface after falling from as high as 13,000 ft (4,000 m) and striking the ground at 300 km/h (186 mph).

When a hawk folds its wings, it plummets to the earth in a controlled high-speed dive. Not exactly the kind of scenario we’d imagine being ideal for modern aircraft. But wing folding can have advantages and NASA wants to make it happen.
