The Grand Canyon Skywalk that I’ve posted on a few times already held an invitation only event yesterday, and as previously reported former astronaut Buzz Aldrin was the first to step out onto the structure.
You can find all kinds of coverage of the event over at Spulch which has some excellent images posted as well as a round up of articles from other sites, such as Yahoo and BBC, on the event.
The official opening of the Skywalk isn’t until next week, when we can all pony up $25 to walk out over the Grand Canyon. While you wait for the official opening, check out this video.
Thanks Engadget.
