This is a video showcasing the mad ups of Riley Smith, a guy who’s 5’9″ with an astounding 50″ vertical leap, allowing him to easily dunk, and jump so high he can hit his head on the basketball hoop. That is impressive. For reference, I’m 6’1″ and just tried to

This is ‘All My Rockets That Didn’t Work’, a compilation video created by Youtuber and model rocketeer BPS.space of all their model rocket crashes over the years.  I think this video serves as a very powerful reminder that, even when faced with repeated failures, some people just don’t know when
