This is a video of SpaceX’s successful hop of a prototype Starship rocket 450-meters from one pad to another in southern Texas. “It looks like a skinny, naked R2-D2.” It sure does. *gets up to go find another chair further away* That’s exactly what it looks like. The prototype that

This is a video of TheBackyardScientist experimenting with a 200-watt powerful burning laser to burn a bunch of stuff INCLUDING A ROCK, then mounting the thing to a vehicle and waving it around in the sky (after verifying there would be no planes nearby). Just look at that thing. Interestingly,

Some

This is a very worthwhile video of the first ‘footage’ of Mars rendered in 4K resolution, using composite images captured by Mars rovers Spirit and Curiosity to create panoramas of the red planet. It is really something. SOMETHING FULL OF ALIENS. Quick, toss me my laser blaster! *fumbles with blaster,

This is a video created by Dr James O’Donoghue of the relative sidereal rotation periods of planets in 2-D. Sidereal meaning relative to background stars, of course. “Of course.” As you can see– “Uranus is backwards.” Like a front-butt? I don’t think so. No, what I was going to say
