(ticonderoga is a badass ship name)
I think it's cool you make these videos. They look nice, too.
I like that design in general. My only thought is that I probably wouldn't go with the quote at the bottom.
Isn't it like four years old, in terms of actual performance specs?

I'm already impressed. Diving in.
The whole "it's not your fault" riff, a minute after the two-hour mark — with all of us telling Brian it's not his fault that he ostensibly sank his crew boat that one time — is cracking me up.
EDIT: And it comes back at 2:17.
EDIT: And 2:20.
I am so psyched to talk about this. I can't tonight, but hell yes.
Crazy. Somehow I missed the memo about this.
If it's anything like anything else, probably not.
(Sorry, that was a slam that happened because of the setup, not because it actually means anything.
)
You could read "The Martian." (Most of the specifics don't make it into the movie, naturally.) The miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon" is chock full of good stuff, but it might be less futuristic than you're hoping for. ("Can We Do This?", "Apollo One," "We Have Cleared the Tower," "Spider," and "That's All There Is," especially. These are episodes I specifically recall include some amount of technical space stuff.)
I'll bet someone's written an outstanding anthology of space-related accidents and emergencies.
One time in Orlando, driving east at night, I saw a very confusing thing: this oddly bright, oddly slow, upward moving flashing dot. First thought was firework, second thought was helicopter, third thought was a shooting star approaching me at a foreshortened angle. It took me fifteen seconds to figure out I was watching a rocket launch from a hundred miles away.
It happened again a few months later.
It breaks your brain a little bit, especially out of context.
When I lived in Florida, my girlfriend at the time lived in a place called Satellite Beach, which is just a few miles south of Cape Canaveral. Whenever I'd go visit her, I'd take the long way home (already a long drive to and from Orlando, which is dead-center between the coasts) and drive past the VAB just to see it.
This anecdote doesn't really connect to anything, just sumthin' I think about when Canaveral comes up.
Also, Canaveral is extracted from "caña veral," basically "cane field;" sugar cane used to grow there.
Godspeed, Boeing.
Godspeed all of 'em.
Sure, I watched it. Sure, fullscreen. Sure, when you held the camera over the edge of the basket, I yelled.
Ha. Hell yeah, I approve of this idea for a thread. (Largely because I've given up on all the pop cultural stuff that we usually talk about in threads, so the chat window is my primary thing these days.)
Prometheus is right.
Nevahoidofit. This is what being off the grid gets you. Thanks for the heads-up.
