This will never get old. When the barbarians have stormed the gates and burned the libraries, I have high hopes that the spark of civilization will have survived off-world and future generations will watch this vid with reverence. Crank it up.
Incredible video of the booster catch What’s crazy is the account that posted this has nothing to do with spaceflight. It’s a girl who happened to be in the right place at the right time and was inspired. Starship is an inspiration to people who otherwise don’t know about space

It's nice to see advanced military tech in the hands of backwards savages getting blown to smithereens... but what would *really* be cools is if the USAF dropped some operators who would then *steal* these aircraft. "Restore" could buy them to start a remigration airways.

HEARTBREAKING: A New York City school bus driver attempted to defend his bus from a WILD CROWD celebrating the New York #Knicks Finals victory. The driver was yelling at fans: “It's coming out of my paycheck…” This is horrible to watch 💔💔💔

Uuuugh. This is the same mentality of the BLM/Antifa book burners.

People always bitchin' about Americans CO2 emissions, but here we see what Russians do with *their* oil: they just let it burn out in the open. Shameful. It's like they don't even care about the environment. Where's Greta?
Good morning ruZZia 🇷🇺, what’s up? 🦅🇺🇦 Holy shit. Watch video until the end 💥🔥

The US has no official language. Trump signed an EO to that effect, but it has little power. Until a Constitutional Amendment is passed stating that every public office holder in the US has to be *fluent* in English, we have no official language... and will continue to decay.

1/This video about the fall of the Roman Empire (how many times have YOU thought about the RE today? keep those numbers up!) takes a different approach from "barbarian invasion" or "political infighting." Instead... "Universe 25." The disturbing thing... youtu.be/AeTfKDmfMA0

7/...the galaxy, and things are going great. it's also a post-scarcity society. but there are guardrails in place, mostly social. Morality/ethics of the time says "be fruitful and multiply," often via artificial wombs; those who don't when they are able to are looked down on ...

8/...and shamed right out of society. Accomplishing things *AND* having a passel of kids is considered the greatest way to be; living a life of indulgence is next to criminal. Colonies that forget that start running out of kids real fast, and are soon replaced.

Bonkers timeline where governments AND media of western nations are doing everything they can to demoralize the natives in favor of antagonistic invaders. There's a timeline where instead of getting into the Senate, Ted Kennedy got a swift kick in the nads: no Hart-Celler.
Compare how the media portrayed these two: For a victim, they chose the most unflattering image they could find. For a murderer, they went through his childhood photos to find the most harmless. It's not accidental. One is designed to elicit sympathy, while the other is not.

I've been interested in making cast-metal replicas of Co-60 rad sources for a while, but I've never seen *hard* number for dimensions. Anyone have anything definite, accurate and precise? Closest I've seen: "about 10 cm long and 2.5 cm." cen.acs.org/safety/Chemistry…
Replying to @nuclearkatie
Found another angle with a date stamp! 7-1-63 Extra credit to whoever who takes the decay of Co-60 into account (half life 5.217 yr) and re-runs my calculation for me😉 People w/o a radiation science background can still probably guess the outcome of a time-adjusted calculation

1/More Atlas configurations. These are from “Advanced Atlas Launch Vehicle Digest” from 1967. Originally found on NTRS, this was memory-holed in one the ca. 2012 security freakouts. A link to the PDF can be found here: aerospaceprojectsreview.com/…

2/ I originally posted these back in 2014 as a "PDF Review," an early part of the APR Patreon. Sadly, the Patreon campaign did not take off like I'd hoped (plateaued about 2014, has been slooooowly declining since). I have several terabytes of such reports; ...
