    Re: What is the best YouTube movie you found lately?

    While I enjoy a big explosion that doesn't hurt anybody just as much as anyone else, I've been somewhat disappointed with the recent SpaceX failures. However, they have succeeded in landing the first stage now, which I find really neat:

    Here it is from a different perspective (might want to turn the volume down for this one, it is kind of loud):

      Here's a scale model of the solar system:



      I seem to remember one of the universities in central Illinois doing something like this when I used to live there, but Pluto was still considered a planet then and it's model was in Wisconsin. I guess their scale may have been somewhat larger.
      (Heh, Mars is a planet that is only inhabited by robots, as far as we know at this moment anyway. One of them has a nuclear powered space laser!)

          This one requires a bit of context, so this is the link to the article where where the video is embedded:

          Tesla Model Xmas show is cooler than your house's lights

          If you are prone to seizures when viewing bright flashing lights, you probably shouldn't watch this. Also, it's probably an ad for cars made by Tesla.
          I still thought it was neat though.
          As always, follow the link at your own peril.

            A trick with beer bottles, in EXTREME SLOW MOTION!

            (Huh, just a link. Sorry.)
            The slow motion part is near the end though.
            For what it is worth, I prefer cans. Broken glass is hard on the feet (tetanus is unlikely though, thank goodness).

                        If you fear guns, I'd recommend that you don't watch this.
                        Also, I'd think that ricochets would be a big problem here, so don't do this at home!
                        Still, for what it is worth, titanium is fairly bulletproof:

                        Kind of why the A-10 is one of the ground force's best friends, and if a Hind is flying around it's best to hide and pray they don't see you.

                              Nothing works quite so well that I can't totally disable it by trying to make it a little better.
