What the Falcon Heavy launch sounded like
Reader and fellow caver Kevin Franke tonight sent me to this link to the Smarter Every Day video of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch, focused less on the visuals and more on the sound of the launch. I have embedded it below. You will need a stereo headset for this to work, but it definitely is worth it.
The Backwards Brain Bicycle
An evening pause: This is show 133 of a series called Smarter Every Day which has some really entertaining and very educational videos. I especially like his video showing how the drill on Curiosity works. The video below however shows some actual experimentation done by the videographer himself, and is almost profound in it what reveals about the human learning process.
