After watching the lecture (which you should if you haven’t done so yet) I thought to myself what would I love to have done in my life… So I made myself a list:

1. Fly a MiG-25 to space
   What would be better than being in space or flying a jet? Doing both at the same time! There are multiple companies willing to bring you that delight with the Mikoyan-Gurevich 25, which packs 100.1 kN to thrust you right to the edge of space (~25.000 m up). All you have to do now is fork over $31,995. [link]
2. (Accidentally) Drive a Caterpillar 797B over a car
   The Caterpillar 797B is the biggest truck in the world. Hauling around 623,700 kg with 3550 horsepower is fun. And since a rally with these trucks will unlikely ever happen I’ll settle with driving over a car (accidentally). Check out the video here.
3. Be 007
   Everybody dreams of being 007! Driving your top of the line Aston Martin to the most luxurious and beautiful locations while saving the world from another villain with lots of tricked out gadgetry.
4. Be a Mythbuster for a day
   The mythbusters have the best job in the whole world. Finding out all the cool stuf in the name of science. But since they are not to eager to hire anymore people on their team which I completely understand… it ought to be fun for just one day. (Please? )
5. Set foot on Mars
   Don’t we miss those days of explorers pioneering new land? What about being the first person to set foot on Mars!
6. Laugh to death
   Obviously this should be the very last thing to do on our list… But is there anyone who could think of a better way to die?
7. Do a monster truck rally/destruction derby with some friends
   Pretty self explanatory…
8. Drag a top fuel dragster
   I bet most of your friends won’t top the experience of a nitromethane powered 8000 horsepower rocket that will blast you to 450 km/h in just 200 meters.
9. Have some fun with a mini gun
   Again this video probably says enough: [link]
10. Think of your own! Tell us in the comments…
