YouTube video by Scott Manley Part Plane, Drone & Spaceship? How I Learned To Fly This Unique VTOL

After a lot of work I've finally got the first part of my video on Pivotal's Helix, a VTOL which can take off and land without an airfield and fly on wings. I initially approached them asking if I could fly the simulator but in the end they trained me to fly it!

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

a 757 with only the pilots onboard leaving dallas at like 3 am yesterday got permission to do an unrestricted climb (plane go up real fast) to 17,000 feet and everyone, including the controllers, was hilariously excited

Here's our images of interstellar object #A11pl3Z from Deep Random Survey's 0.43-meter scope @ Chile. The telescope was following A11pl3Z's motion, so stars appear smeared. Weather got worse by the end, so still hard to tell if it's a comet.

Things are not looking good for Hakuto-R

Randomly discovered that the only US Battleship to get underway during the attack on Pearl Harbor - The USS Nevada - would be the primary target for the operation Crossroads nuclear test. But it survived because the bomb was too far off target.

So has elon cancelled his presentation?

Booster appeared to die at the moment it started engines

Booster went boom before landing:

MECO, Staging, Ignition and boostback!

And liftoff!

Ground service equipment has a ground side issue

Clock is rolling!

According to hosts, there's a booster engine that's not behaving as expected

Less than 3 minutes to go, but planning to hold at T-40 to address an issue, remember this booster will not survive, it's testing the limits of its envelope. But the second stage is the thing we're really interested in:

Starship and Superheavy counting down and filling up

I'm not sure what kind of accident report the authorities in Korea will produce, but journalists investigating on their own tracked down cameras reconstructed the flight and showed one engine still generated thrust.

Last night I was constantly posing for photos with people, and it was great, but I did manage to get time to get a photo for myself with Jeanett Epps. She gave a great presentation about her flight on Crew 8

I wish I'd had a chance to say hullo!

Not sure that matters if the legs break

We got a second image from IM-2 on the moon - the Yaoki rover was not able to deploy, but returned an image, and if you brighten this you see the bottom of a landing foot. Which is only possible if the landing leg bent or broke. prtimes.jp/main/html/rd...

The project to design a B-29 that would carry the atomic bombs was named Silver Plated, but to help cover up the true purpose of something that would carry Fat Man and Thin Man the explanation was that it was a rail car to transport Churchill and Roosevelt.

But Saturn V is so ineffienct you have to build entirely new stages each time you want to fly it.
