“the mcu has gotten too confusing” easy fix .. have luis recap the multiverse saga. Boom. Now everybody caught up without suffering thru secret slopvasion
While searching for images of the N1's grid fins, I found this absolute gem of AI slop. Beyond the obvious Starship / Falcon 9 Hybrid, and the cold gas clusters, and the weird drag / lift diagram... I think my favorite thing is the "Autonomous Landing Algorithms"
This prologue scene in Treasure Planet where Jim while solar surfing, cuts the engine and plummets always floors me because of how accurately it treats the physics of a free fall.
The sheer sense of weight, speed, and genuine air resistance they managed to capture. The violent camera shake perfectly mimicking how you'd experience it in a real dive.
It’s clear that hugh jackman really just wants to do musicals for the rest of his career but all the money he needs is in the superhero movies so I propose we fix both of these issues for him and get an x-men musical rolling
Big week for Artemis III 🚀
Just before NASA introduced the Artemis III crew, the SLS solid rocket booster segments arrived in Florida after a six-day rail journey from Utah.
Later this year, teams will begin stacking the boosters that create 75% of the thrust needed at launch.
On Tuesday, June 9, we’ll announce the four astronauts who will orbit Earth aboard the @NASAArtemis III mission!
