Many of you know about the demon core, about how it went critical during experiments and killed scientists.
But what if you had two cores and brought them together - just how bad would it be?

NASA's X59 quiet supersonic test aircraft took to the skies this morning - it's now landed at Edwards presumably in preparation for the test flights.

After a lot of work I've finally got the first part of my video on Pivotal's Helix, a VTOL which can take off and land without an airfield and fly on wings. I initially approached them asking if I could fly the simulator but in the end they trained me to fly it!

a 757 with only the pilots onboard leaving dallas at like 3 am yesterday got permission to do an unrestricted climb (plane go up real fast) to 17,000 feet and everyone, including the controllers, was hilariously excited

Here's our images of interstellar object #A11pl3Z from Deep Random Survey's 0.43-meter scope @ Chile. The telescope was following A11pl3Z's motion, so stars appear smeared. Weather got worse by the end, so still hard to tell if it's a comet.
600-sec exposures, from 2025 Jul 2, 00:42-01:23 UT

Randomly discovered that the only US Battleship to get underway during the attack on Pearl Harbor - The USS Nevada - would be the primary target for the operation Crossroads nuclear test. But it survived because the bomb was too far off target.

Less than 3 minutes to go, but planning to hold at T-40 to address an issue, remember this booster will not survive, it's testing the limits of its envelope. But the second stage is the thing we're really interested in:

I'm not sure what kind of accident report the authorities in Korea will produce, but journalists investigating on their own tracked down cameras reconstructed the flight and showed one engine still generated thrust.

Last night I was constantly posing for photos with people, and it was great, but I did manage to get time to get a photo for myself with Jeanett Epps. She gave a great presentation about her flight on Crew 8
