Using remastered images captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera, Seán Doran created this absolutely breathtaking 8K trip across some craters on Mars. I just watched it on an 8K television and it was stunning. Granted I don’t own an 8K television and had
This is a video captured aboard a Varda space capsule launched by SpaceX that’s reentering the earth’s atmosphere at around Mach 25, or around 17,500MPH. That’s fast. Varda developed the W1 capsule for companies that want to test or manufacture in space (in this case, drug manufacturing in zero-gravity). The
