Carl Sagan explains the concept of the 4th dimension In this episode of his television program entitled Cosmos , Carl Sagan discusses the notion of the fourth dimension of space-time by drawing an analogy with another well-known scientific story: Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott.
Inspiration4 space tourists open the observation dome Inspiration4 space tourists Jared Isaacman, Hayley Arceneaux, Sian Proctor and Chris Sembroski, open the cupola of the Dragon capsule for the first time allowing them to observe the Earth. SpaceX's first four space tourists landed on Saturday, September 19, 2021 in the Atlantic Ocean after spending three days in space traveling farther than the International Space Station (ISS), up to 590 km above sea level, spinning in orbit at approximately 28,000 km / h.
Timelapse of the most impressive landscapes of Scotland After 7 days of filming under pretty harsh conditions in the Highlands of Scotland and far over 100 hours of post-production I’d like to present my latest time-Lapse short film “SCOTLAND – A Highland Tale”. Lean back, turn up the volume and enjoy the overwhelming landscapes of Scotland.
Mission 9: Safe Escape In Any Phase Of Flight New Shepard flew for the ninth time on July 18, 2018. During this mission, known as Mission 9 (M9), the escape motor was fired shortly after booster separation. The Crew Capsule was pushed hard by the escape test and we stressed the rocket to test that astronauts can get away from an anomaly at any time during flight. The mission was a success for both the booster and capsule. Most importantly, astronauts would have had an exhilarating ride and safe landing. This isn’t the first time we’ve done this type of extreme testing on New Shepard. In October of 2012, we simulated a booster failure on the launch pad and had a successful escape. Then in October of 2016, we simulated a booster failure in-flight at Max Q, which is the most physically strenuous point in the flight for the rocket, and had a completely successful escape of the capsule. This test on M9 allowed us to finally characterize escape motor performance in the near-vacuum of space and guarantee that we can safely return our astronauts in any phase of flight. Also on M9, New Shepard carried science and research payloads from commercial companies, universities and space agencies. Learn more about the payloads on board here:

Best way to store an extension cord Dirt Farmer Jay will show you a fool-proof method for winding and storing an extension cord so that we its time to use it, it easily comes unwound and ready to plug in. This tip will save you lots of time and aggravation and require less space to store each extension cord.
SpotMini Autonomous Navigation SpotMini autonomously navigates a specified route through an office and lab facility. Before the test, the robot is manually driven through the space so it can build a map of the space using visual data from cameras mounted on the front, back and sides of the robot. During the autonomous run, SpotMini uses data from the cameras to localize itself in the map and to detect and avoid obstacles. Once the operator presses 'GO' at the beginning of the video, the robot is on its own. Total walk time for this route is just over 6 minutes. (The QR codes visible in the video are used to measure performance, not for navigation.)
NASA at Saturn: Cassini’s Grand Finale The final chapter in a remarkable mission of exploration and discovery, Cassini's Grand Finale is in many ways like a brand new mission. Twenty-two times, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will dive through the unexplored space between Saturn and its rings. What we learn from these ultra-close passes over the planet could be some of the most exciting revelations ever returned by the long-lived spacecraft. This animated video tells the story of Cassini's final, daring assignment and looks back at what the mission has accomplished.
Amazing Sun Time Lapse, Solaris, Full HD, SDO Edited time lapse of the sun as observed by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Spacecraft. Footage created from 4K still imagery courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre and NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams.
Dissolve an effervescent tablet in space Astronauts on the International Space Station dissolved an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water, and captured images using a camera capable of recording four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station. This footage is one of the first of its kind. The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
