Bigger is always better, right? Big badass ranking
The AN-225 “Mriya” is a Ukrainian airliner that was built in 1988 as
the largest plane of its time, and still is today! The Mriya was
inactive for seven years after the collapse of the Soviet Union
but was brought back to active duty in 2001 as a transport aircraft for
other aircraft. “Mriya” is translated as “dream” or “inspiration” has
32 landing wheels and a wingspan the same length of a football field,
with almost the same distance from nose to tail!

Not only is the San Alfonso Del Mar Resort outdoor swimming pool BIG,
it is also incredibly environmentally friendly. Located in Chile, the
Resort has addressed the over crowded, too small, and shallow stereotype
of hotel swimming pools. At 3,000 feet long and 115 feet deep, the pool
covers 20 acres and runs the length of the resort’s main beach.
Discovered in the Vietnam Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
is the largest cave passage known in the world. The cave passage has an
underground river running along the 3 mile long passage floor and
natural skylights in its 1,000 feet high ceiling where limestone has
been naturally washed away.
Everything sent into space has to be tested in micro/zero gravity
conditions before launching – space suits, astronauts….but how and where
would you test an entire space rocket? The Plum Brook vacuum chamber in
Sandusky, Ohio of course! The testing vacuum is 122 feet tall and
863,000 cubic feet and has already tested the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew
Vehicle, which could be transporting astronauts to Mars or distant
asteroids some day.
The Inga Falls in Kinshasa, Zaire is not the tallest waterfall in the
world, nor is is the widest. You might be wondering why it is
considered the biggest waterfall in the world then. What this waterfall
lacks in physical size it makes up for in water power. The Inga Falls
moves nearly 10 times the amount of water as Niagara Falls at 900,000
cubic feet of water a second.
