Not sure how much you all follow space stuff, but I'm a big fan and have been closely following SpaceX's Starship tests. Recently during a test, the second stage (starship) had a RUD - rapid unplanned disassembly. There are some great videos that were shot of this... though certainly somewhat of a setback for SpaceX, it's freaking beautiful.

Here's a video from the Bahamas of the actual RUD.


And another from Turks & Caicos showing the bits and pieces flying through the sky


So cool :mrgreen: Oh, and you might want to mute the video. People talk too damned much when they have nothing to say.

I might steal that one and use it in one of my classes (working on the topic 'sound' there). Really cool indeed.

Life has been keeping me very busy lately, but I thought I'd stop by to share this. I found it really interesting.

Physicists Blow Up Gold With Giant Lasers, Accidentally Disprove Renowned Physics Model
Quote:
To be fair, this superheated state lasted for a mere several trillionths of a second. Also, it blew up. But that’s still “long enough to be interesting,” White said, adding that “if you could prevent it from expanding, [theoretically speaking] you could heat it forever.” To which he added: “I’m very thankful that I get to blow stuff up with giant lasers for discoveries. And that’s my job, you know.”
