Travelling Long Distances at very Low Altitudes in Kerbal Space Program
I challenged myself to travel as far as possible at as low an altitude as possible in kerbal space program - this is my solution. Yes I was very jet lagged.... hence the terrible spelling mistake. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROJi_-2gLEY
After years of exploring the counterclockwise space we finally encounter a rival species, discover the existence of a 4th, and bring a new species to the galactic stage as a vassal of our empire.

Killing the second form of the flagship, this took.... forever partly because I kept changing strategy.

A roundup of interesting rocket stories, SpaceX's Starship had another pressure failure resulting in an Explosion followed by an Implosion and another explosion.
Best SN1 Failure footage comes from BocaChicaGal working with NasaSpaceflight.com - please support them:

Amateur astronomers regularly track and photograph spacecraft in deep space using telescopes. Tiny spacecraft can be seen millions of miles from Earth using carefully planned observations. However to view spacecraft on the surface of the moon, this isn't possible because it's easy to pick out a bright spot against the dark background of space but doing the same against the bright background of the moon isn't useful. To get images of spacecraft on the moon (or mars!) you need to get much closer so that the details can resolve.
Here's a list of special site on the moon which have been observed by LRO:

* and by 'impossible' I mean that it's merely ridiculously difficult unless you build a massive device and someone correct for the atmospheric turbulence.

With the TV show doing a great job at delivering its explanation in a manner that most people can easily understand, I felt I wanted to do a more detailed description. So I cover basic reactor physics, explain how the RBMK reactor works, how Xenon 135 works, Why the control rods included graphite tips, and why the reactor became unstable and ran away.
Many of the diagrams here are from https://www.nuclear-power.net and they have Lots more information on Nuclear Physics

And of course I highly recommend the TV show:

Can I fly a rocket into space guided only by a bunch of strangers in text chat telling me what to do?
Then, how fast can a rocket get to orbit?
