Occasionally I find interesting rocket things to watch on YouTube. Post anything video related here...
Cool things I found on YouTube or other videos...

The cooking concrete looked cool. Haven't heard bout them in a long time.
How would they use a litter box in space?
Excellent series of mission documentaries. Focuses on problems that arise and the solutions they used to overcome the malfunctions.
I watched the Xaero video over and over again.
Way way cool.
I stumbled onto to:
The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered
I like his style and format, and he isn't just a spokesperson or talking head making videos.
Plenty of rocketry content, but he covers the history spectrum.

Zero Length Launch was a great idea.
Would have been greater if they had Zero Length Landing as well.

I got a Steve Canyon helmet for Christmas of 1960. I was 4.
As a kid I read the Sunday color comics with Steve Canyon and Terry and the Pirates.
Both by Milt Caniff.
A very strategic RUD. Don't see much damage to the facilities, just holes in the ground.
Maybe not a FTS. Here's an animation of what might have happened in the fog.

40 years today.
Holy Crap. That was a fast 40 years. I swear the older I get the faster the years go by.
I've seen that movie.
Cool edits...
You were the chosen one!
I thought in Vietnam, the Sidewinder only worked half the time so the pilots always shot two, or was it the Falcon that was unreliable?
The AIM-4 Falcon was notoriously unreliable.
No proximity fuzing, it needed to score a direct hit for a kill.
Warhead was small (7.6 lbs.) limiting their lethal radius.
Only five hits were recorded in 54 launchings during aerial combat in 'Nam.
So pilots would fire a heat seeking variant followed by the radar guided variant.
IIRC there also was something about the seeker head needed to be cooled, it could only be done once and the missile needed to be fired within two minutes of the start of cooling.
Sidewinder was a great improvement.
But the Falcon makes a neat model rocket.

Basswood? Very nice...
Balsa, believe it or not.

Documentary quality...
This looks familiar. Too bad about the Rocket Lab. I tried to stay up to watch but too many delays only to find out in the morning that the 2nd stage was lost.
My LEO is still one of my favorite flight vid.

Imagine spending that much time and resources on building a rocket and not launching it. One theory is that they could turn it into a hotel.
