Rocket Fuel

Rocket fuel is so toxic that over 55 years later nothing grows at the Apollo 11 landing site!

"Between 03:44 and 03:52 UTC on 19 February 2025, the upper stage of a #SpaceX #Falcon9 #rocket made an uncontrolled re-entry over Europe, producing a visible fireball and a persistent high-altitude plume of lithium vapour. ... This finding supports growing concerns that space traffic may pollute the upper atmosphere in ways not yet fully understood."

Measurement of a lithium plume from the uncontrolled re-entry of a Falcon 9 rocket - Communications Earth & Environment

A plume of pollutants in the upper atmosphere above Germany is identified using lidar observations of lithium concentrations and can be traced back to the uncontrolled re-entry of a specific rocket launch through atmospheric modelling

Fans were upset this afternoon when the #Marlies scored a goal after #Rocket Jacob Fowler lost his helmet.

As per the AHL rule book, I feel that the right call was made by the official:

"When a goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask and his team has control of the puck, play shall be stopped immediately to allow the goalkeeper the opportunity to regain his helmet and/or face mask. When the opposing team has control of the puck, play shall
only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring
opportunity"

🍺Beer Keg Plumbing for a Liquid 🚀Rocket.

When you think of a high performance liquid rocket, what do you think of? Beer kegs? No? Well, when [Ryan] from the YouTube channel “Project KegRocket” saw a beer keg, the first thing he and his friends saw was a pressurized rocket body.
