Burj Dubai Is Reaching To The Sky

I thought about just posting a link to the image below, but the Burj Dubai skyscraper is just so mind-boggling I thought I’d go ahead and post the image here. The tower, expected to be completed by this time next year, was started in 2005; and even in its current incomplete status, according to Wikipedia, is the tallest man-made structure in the world. The expected height of the tower is unknown, but guesses range from 2,297 to 2,684 ft with 162 inhabitable floors. The top floor will be at least 2,087 ft up. Think about that. Almost half a mile above ground and the earth’s atmosphere is only between 5-11 miles thick. Crazy.
