You must have seen

3 timecodes to the same (recorded) livestream from a German streamer from yesterday:

shortly before the start, T -00:00:10


link to separation and shortly afterwards self-disassembly of stage 1
After the separation, the flip maneuver should occur, which is known from the previous tests, where the stage then falls horizontally until just before the ground and then stands upright to land


and here timecode from the (probable) end of the 2nd stage… you can see a kind of shock wave, shortly after the display for the engines goes out at the bottom right, nothing more


it was ‘just’ a test flight. Let’s hope that the insights from this were worth the total loss that was probably to be expected

That monstrosity you see here is called a Lion Mane jellyfish. That little blip off to the left is a diver.

I’m very glad you liked them. It’s a pleasure.

I hope you are well? :thinking: In light of today’s chaos, I wonder if the moon or you are full. :rofl:

I wish, if you’re talking about booze! Yes, I had a good deal of trouble trying to edit what I thought was the first post. I didn’t know until your post that there was a duplicate.

At most, I see two posts on my screen at once. Sometimes less than one, if it’s a long post or has pictures.

Thanks for the heads up.

To look at this sculpture, you might think it’s draped with a thin, almost transparent piece of cloth. However, amazingly it’s made of solid marble – yes, the entire statue.

Imagine having the ability to render solid stone transparent.

Giovanni Strazza possessed this incredibly rare artistic talent. His masterpiece, “The Veiled Virgin,” carved from flawless Carrara marble, stands as one of the most astounding achievements in the history of sculpture.

A truly amazing piece of Art.

Today, I learned something I never knew about a VERY famous TV show. It goes back more than 50 years, so it may not mean much to you youngsters in the room.

In the '70s sitcom, All In The Family, Archie Bunker had a son-in-law named Mike Stiver played by none other than Rob Reiner, who went on to direct, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men and The Bucket List, just to name a few.

I was floored. I had no idea that was Rob Reiner, until today, 50+ years later.

Some of you may know this:

but did you also know that this machine was copied in real?
well, at least partially. ‘catching’ the balls is virtually non-existent

I realize I’m getting old :crazy_face:

May well be the sweetest music video I’ve ever seen :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :hugs: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

The Power of Magnets

Well this is the concept of a rail gun…

Ever since I was a kid, magnetism has always fascinated me. Now, with these powerful neodymium magnets, even more so. This was an amazing demonstration of their immense power.

This guy has spent a small fortune in these magnets.
