Two years ago, we watched in awe as daredevil Felix Baumgartner set a world record by jumping from a specially designed capsule from a height of 128,000 feet. Then on Saturday, out of nowhere, we heard Baumgartner's record had been broken!

It was only a matter of time before the Vine thing got to space. Here it is, for historical purposes:  The first ever Vine posted from space!  Reid Wiseman is now the first person to ever post a Vine from space.  Will this be commemorated with a national holiday or something?  Probably not, but it's still one of the cooler things to check out on Vine.

Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family, carved his name — in giant 1000 meter letters — into the desert of an United Arab Emirates island he owns.
