Because some people have all the fun, this is a video of Youtuber The Backyard Scientist destroying things with a 400MPH rocket powered slicing warhead he constructed from six kitchen knives. Is this actually science? Yes, and the best kind: the DANGEROUS kind. *twirling tips of evil villain mustache* Yessss,
This is some footage (that leaves something to be desired, namely a better view and an ultra-highspeed camera) of the US Air Force testing a rocket sled traveling at 6,400ft/sec. For reference, a mile is 5,280-feet, so this thing is doing 6,599MPH! That’s Mach 8.6. Holy shit! You know it’s
This is another video of Robert ‘Crazy Rocketman’ Maddox (previously), this time testing his new ‘steampunk’ jet powered bicycle. Man — this Rocketman guy clearly knows how to have a good time. And by have a good time I mean die in a rocket powered accident at any moment. Live
This is a video of Robert “Rocketman” Maddox (who you may recall from his 90MPH jet-powered go-kart or rocket-powered skateboard) taking his latest deathtrap out for a test spin. ‘The Dragon’ (which doesn’t have brakes or a seatbelt yet, but why would that stop a Rocketman?) is powered by a
This is a video of thrill-builder Bob “Rocketman” Maddox (previously: his jet-powered go-kart) taking the ACME Jet Skateboard he built out for a ride. Man, Wile E. Coyote is so jealous right now. “Admittedly, a better idea than I had,” I imagine him thinking to himself while unlacing his roller
This is a video of engineer Xyla Foxlin, model rocketeer Joe Barnard, and a team of aerospace engineers launching a Christmas tree into the wild blue yonder with the help of a very large model rocket engine. Based on the thirty minute video, apparently a lot more went into the
This is a clip from inside the cabin tip of Jeff Bezo’s penis rocket (aka cocket), showing how the four-person crew spent their brief few minutes of weightlessness. As you can see, it was mostly spent oh wowing, doing flips, and tossing pingpong balls around. So, was it worth the
This is a clip from an airplane passenger of an Atlas V rocket launch from Cape Canaveral on May 18th, 2021, carrying a satellite for use by the U.S. Space Force. The liftoff occurred at 1:37PM, and all the passengers on the left side of this flight from New York’s
