This is a video of NASA’s giant Super Guppy turboprop plane landing in Huntsville, Alabama (where I grew up), carrying the heat shield for the Artemis I Orion spacecraft. The massive, bulbous plane features a cargo area measuring 25′ x 25′ x 110′, with the entire plane hinging open behind the cockpit to accommodate massive rocket parts. That’s nuts. Also, are you sure that hinge is up to code? Because it looks like it’s got some wires dangling like C-3PO when Chewie pulls him out of the junk pile on Cloud City. I’m concerned because the last thing I’d want is for this plane to lose the parts that are supposed to go on the rocket that blasts me off this planet and back into space where I belong (and can detonate earth from a safe distance).

Thanks to my dad, who agrees there’s a solution to every problem.
