One of the biggest computational fluid dynamics simulation made on a super computer This is one of the largest CFD simulations ever, on the world's largest GPU server, the GigaIO SuperNODE, equipped with 32x AMD Instinct MI210 64GB GPUs, for a total of 2TB of VRAM. The simulation shows the Concorde (62m long) before landing at a speed of 300km/h and an angle of attack of 10°, for 1 second in flight. The span-based Reynolds number is 146 million.

Jeff Bezos in space with a Blue Origin rocket Tuesday, July 20, 2021, nine days after billionaire Richard Branson's space trip aboard Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity spacecraft, Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and the richest man in the world, also surrendered, accompanied 3 other passengers, in space aboard a capsule powered by the reusable New Shepard rocket from his company Blue Origin. Take-off took place from Launch Site One, the company's launch base located in West Texas, then the capsule was dropped at an altitude of 75 km to then slightly exceed 100 km in altitude, space border according to the International Aeronautical Federation. After 3 minutes of orbital flight, for a total flight of 11 minutes, the capsule made its return to Earth, braked by three parachutes and retro rockets. The New Shepard launcher also returned to a landing pad near the launch site.
Debris from a SpaceX rocket illuminates the sky On the afternoon of Thursday, March 25, 2021, An Oregon Newberg resident recorded a light emission caused by the wreckage of a SpaceX rocket as it returned to the atmosphere. It was debris from the second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket. "What is seen in the sky is a rocket that falls into the atmosphere at a speed of over 27.000 km / h and crumbles from the heat" said Jonathan McDowell, from the Harvard Astrophysics Center. No damage has been reported.
Starship SN9 flight and crash SpaceX has tested the ninth Starship prototype in a row.
It is not yet known whether the landing accident was caused by low tank pressures than with the SN8, or something else.
Led by the standing ship SN10, which in turn, did not suffer any serious damage in the explosion.
