Here’s another fun space video that can fit on Blue Sky.

A space shuttle launch as seen from inside the Mobile Launchpad.

While I wasn't alive for this test program, I would've loved to work on this. Testing a non-US engine of this size on US soil is something (I think) had never happened before and probably won't again
Here’s a clip of the United States test firing a RD-180 engine before it would become part of the Atlas III rocket & later the extremely successful & (to date) perfectly reliable Atlas V rocket.

The test was performed at Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

BlueSky is great but feels like shouting into the void, and the only thing worse than the Abyss not gazing back at you is when it just leaves you on read.

To celebrate me moving (back) to BlueSky. Here’s a neat space video to enjoy.

(Although BlueSky’s 60 second video limit is a real killer- twitter’s 2m20s was bad enough- ah well.)
