Avero was an ETH Zurich student research project that developed a propeller-free inspection drone.

Using swiveling thrust nozzles, it can withstand collisions while offering full six-degree-of-freedom maneuverability.

The project was discontinued last year after successfully developing and testing multiple prototypes.

Kalitta Air Flight 264 landed safely at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport around 8:15 p.m. local time on Sunday, July 19, after the tail of the Boeing 777-300ER scraped the runway during a go-around. The flight departed from Brussels Airport in Belgium. The FAA will investigate. Please contact the airline for more information.

The tweet should speak for itself ;-) but let me add that (a) it was never about the code, especially not about puzzles (b) people with good taste that can think creatively and out of the box are infinitely more scarce and thus valuable then those who can memorize stuff, and (c) especially when whiteboard coding became remote and not actually in front of a whiteboard, cheating was rampant.

Denver, Colorado as seen from the ISS. The Denver airport, one of the largest in the world, is the dark patch right of center. To the west, city lights are abruptly extinguished by the Rocky Mountains.

The library of congress has made it's annual selection of significant recordings for their National Recording Registry. Sure we have Taylor Swift and Beyonce. But we also have the soundtrack to Doom, and 'Amen Brother' by the Winstons. A track most famous for its drum sample.

I love that the Navy divers were taking images of Orion's heat shield before it was brought onto the ship:

On This Day 1972 - Apollo 16 Landing 16mm Footage Upscaled 60FPS

Full video in comments

This footage was filmed on the 16mm DAC camera mounted above the Lunar Module Pilot's LM window during landing. It has been upscaled and interpolated to 60FPS, and synced with mission audio by Moonpans.

As we know, New Glenn's upper stage failed to conduct its planned circularization burn; this left the payload in an unrecoverable low orbit.

We have tracking data on the payload however, there is no data provided for the New Glenn upper-stage at this time. It's safe to assume it did not complete a disposal burn.

New Glenn upper stage and payload will re-enter within the next 4-5 days. New Glenn upper stage dry mass is around 25 metric tons and measures in at ~ 77ft x 23ft which is comparable to the Long March 5B stage that the CASC left in orbit a few years ago.

New Glenn's upper stage poses a significant risk to locations between 36.11 degrees N/S latitude and will generate a large debris field. If it re-enters over land, largely intact pieces may be found, possibly as large as 5 feet or more in diameter. Lighter-weight spherical objects such as COPVs are expected to partially/completely survive re-entry.

Artemis re-entry, seen from the International Space Station!
Very cool: the @sen camera mounted on ISS caught sunglint off the returning lunar Orion capsule "Integrity" just as it was entering Earth's atmosphere.
We live in an amazing world and time.
