SUnknownDensity of Asteroids in the Orbital Plane of the Solar Systems

Sun, Nov 15, 2009
Shown is a computer animation of the orbits of asteroids in the solar system. The plane of the planetary orbits is edge on rather than from above (or below). It quickly becomes clear that most asteroid orbit close to the plane of the planetary orbits. But a good number have highly inclined orbits compared to the orbits of the planets.

SUnknownHow Would Guns Work in Sapce?

Mon, Nov 14, 2016
The recoil of a small caliber gun probably probably wouldn't give you much trouble in space and the propellant would work just fine, You're more likely to gain rotational momentum raising the gun to aim. But cooling of an automatic weapon, spontaneous welding and lubricant evaporation in a vacuum could be issues.

Why Do Ion Thrusters Use Xenon? KSP Doesn't Teach

SUnknownWhy Do Ion Thrusters Use Xenon? KSP Doesn't Teach

Mon, Jan 16, 2017
Xenon is the chemical of choice for ion engines even over comparable chemicals such as argon which is cheaper. Xenon has it happens produces twice the thrust per atom because it's much greater mass gives it more momentum and it is easier to ionize. But slightly more massive and even easier to ionize, cesium remains on engineers radar.

SUnknownA History of Reused Spacecraft

Wed, May 31, 2017
Space X and the Space Shuttle made news about reusable spacecraft. But other spacecraft, rockets and satellites have flown in space more than once. The X-15, X-37B and SpaceShipOne space planes were designed for reuse. On other occasions it was just a matter of convenience. The old hardware happened to be available, in pretty good shape and, of course, cheap.

SUnknownWhat Tiny Details of Saturn V Rocket Actually Did

Wed, Jun 07, 2017
Scott provides a tour of his Saturn V models showing all the little weird protrusion and explaining what they do. Some are rocket motors to control the rocket during flight. Some are structural components that give strength to the rocket. And some our pipes and such that didn't fit well on the inside of the rocket.

SUnknownStar Inside of Other Stars

Wed, Jun 28, 2017
Scott talks about a star, probably a brown dwarf, orbiting a giant star so closely that its orbit is within the giant star. Yes that is perfectly possible says Scott but like all stars these two will interact and evolve with some violence along they way. And it is just one of a few types of stars in this situation.

SUnknownHow Did Astronomers Discover 700,000 Asteroids?

Fri, Jun 30, 2017
Ceres was first discovered by astronomers looking for a plant to fill a curious gap between mars and Jupiter. But it wasn't very big so astronomers kept looking and began finding the larger objects in the asteroid belt. Eventually astrophotography, sky surveys and space telescopes led to the multitudes that are know today including near Earth and Earth crossing asteroids that are of particular concern for the fate of humanity.

SUnknownGoing Nuclear - Nuclear Science - Part 5 - Hydrogen Bombs

Fri, Dec 29, 2017
Hydrogen bombs typically use a two stage design with a fission reaction used to initiate nuclear fission of hydrogen isotopes. Moving to fission permits much more powerful bombs because beyond a certain point it is not practical to assemble more fissionable uranium or plutonium into a bomb. A variety of fission bomb designs were attempted with some surprises along the way.

SUnknownNASA's New Exoplanet Hunter Is Using a Clever Orbit

Sun, Apr 15, 2018
TESS, the new satellite that will follow up Keppler in the search for exoplanets, had a tight budget that required some unusual optimization. In particular its orbit is designed to minimize fuel requirements. So it used a lunar gravity assist to put it in an eccentric orbit of the earth to provide fast data transfer at perigee and avoid eclipses by the earth of its field of view. And it is 90 degrees out of phase with the moons's orbit to keep the orbit stable.

SUnknownThe Most Confusing Things about Spacecraft Orbits

Fri, May 11, 2018
Since you didn't grow up in orbit the behavior of objects in orbit probably feels counterintuitive. Scott explains a couple classic examples. If you throw an object down it comes back up. If you try to slow down you go faster. That's what happens when you travel in a big circle.

SUnknownWhy Does It Take BepiColombo 7 Year to Get to Mercury

Fri, Oct 19, 2018
If you want to do a quick flyby of another planet you can get there pretty quickly. But if you want to stop and go into orbit, or even land, you have to slow down once you get there. Turns out it's far more economical to take a more leisurely trip so you don't need so much fuel to slow down on arrival.

SUnknownBallistic reentry vs aerodynamic reentry

Mon, Oct 22, 2018
Scott uses Kerbal Space program space program and shows viewers how to modify the program for more realistic reentry scenarios. Of importance to the crew; in an aerodynamic reentry the spacecraft experiences lift which enables the it to remain in the thinner upper atmosphere longer and slow down more gradually. That means lower gees for the grateful crew.

Mon, Oct 29, 2018
A test pilots have a lot to do besides fly his aircraft. All the systems need to be tested and require the pilot's attention in flight. During a flight of the X-15 Neil Armstrong was apparently paying attention to one of these systems and didn't notice he was climbing back toward space and far from his landing site making for a very long glide home.

SUnknownThe Radioacive Alternative to the X-15 - Faster, Higher, Cheaper. The Douglas D-684

Thu, Dec 27, 2018
The competition for the first space plane was won by a missile designer and new comer to the X-plane program, North American, with its X-15 design. It beat out the Navy's historical designer Douglas which proposed a design using a light weight magnesium alloy containing radioactive thorium that would stay cooler during the aircraft's brief atmospheric reentry. Ironically, although the Douglas design better fit the specification it lost out because follow on projects would more severally test the heat resistance of air/spacecraft and X-15 would be a better precursor to them.

Mon, Apr 22, 2019
Expander Cycle Rocket Engines use vaporized rocket fuel, typically hydrogen, to drive a turbine that pressurizes the fuel mixture as it enters the combustion chamber. These are some of the most efficient rockets ever built but they tend to be low on thrust. However, there are variation that provide higher thrust and, of course, Scott knows them all personally.

SUnknownGraveyard Orbits Where Old Satelittes Are Forgotten

Thu, Jun 20, 2019
Graveyard orbits generally apply to geostationary or Lagrange point orbits where space is limited. In other cases the satellite may be dangerous with, for example, a nuclear power supply. Most lower orbiting satellites are not an issue because they disintegrate on reentry - eventually. Obsolete geostationary satellites are supposed to be moved to a higher orbits and inclinations. Lagrange satellites are moved into an arbitrary solar orbit with there remaining fuel.

Thu, Aug 01, 2019
Lightsail 2 is a tiny (4 kg), experimental, crowd-funded satellite with a large (40 sqm) solar sail that was developed by the Planetary Society. The Planetary Society reported that the sail successful used the momentum of the light from the sun to adjust the satellite's orbit around the Earth. Unfortunatly the large sail is also susceptible to atmospheric drag so it's average altitude is falling closer to the Earth.

Fri, Aug 30, 2019
Amateur satellite trackers are clever and curious folk. From an apparent cellphone photograph of an a on screen image of an Iranian rocket launch site tweeted by the president they were able to determine the resolution capability of a US spy satellite, probably a KH-11. They even made a pretty good guess at which satellite is was, US-224. From there Scott was able to comment on how well optimized the satellite's resolution is to its mirror size.

Mon, Nov 23, 2020
A big reason the Space Shuttle looks the way it does is a planned mission called Shuttle Reference Mission-3b. The plan was to capture and return a satellite from a polar orbit in less than 2 hours, a single orbit. It required a few rather difficult specification to the shuttle such as a large delta wing that then required a more robust heat shield. Plans for the mission were dropped before the shuttle flew probably because it was too ambitions but the changes lived on.

Sun, May 23, 2021
The asteroid Apophis made one of its close encounters with earth in April 2021. Asteroid watchers paid close attention because each close encounter alters the orbit of the asteroid by an amount that is hard to predict due to inaccuracies in velocity and distance measurements. Now that it is leaving Earth's vicinity, new measurements can refine the details of its new orbit. And we seem to be perfectly safe from Apophis until 2116.

Pussy Riot: The Movement

Pussy Riot: The Movement

Pussy Riot - The Movement briefly reviews the events that led to the harsh two-year sentences of Pussy Riot members for singing a punk rock song in Moscow's most important cathedral. Their message about the growing repression in Russia by Putin's regime caught the world's attention like no other dissidents before them and turned the avant garde feminist collective into a worldwide symbol of freedom. The film goes beyond the trial, to the women's prison experiences. The film crew is embedded in a violent demonstration that produces stunning footage. Included are exclusive interviews with Katia Samutsevich, the Pussy Riot member who was released; families of the women; famed Russian journalist, Masha Gessen; artists; and dissidents. Also included is a trip to the penal colony where Nadia Tolokonnikova was being held. Pussy Riot - The Movement explores the questions: Where are the freedoms guaranteed in the Russian Constitution? Is Putin writing his own "amendments" to the Constitution? Why doesn't the Constitution work?" Has Pussy Riot had a lasting impact on the fight for freedom in Russia? Can they start a movement?

10 Most Corrupt Us Presidents

The United States might not be the most corrupt country in the world but like every other country in the world, it does have its share of corrupt leaders. Speaking of corrupt leaders, some people may say that Donald Trump was the most corrupt President in US history while others would say that rank goes to Joe Biden or even Well, in some ways they may be right because each of these American Presidents was corrupt. Take Donald Trump for instance, who used his position to enrich himself and his family, filled his administration with former industry lobbyists, and sought to prevent an investigation into his shady business practices. That's corruption, right? However, regardless of whatever Trump, Biden, or Obama committed while in office, some past US presidents would certainly give them a run for their money. So, who were the most corrupt Presidents in US history? Some of the answers won't surprise you at all but others would be pretty shocking. So brace yourself as we show you 10 of the most corrupt US Presidents in history beginning with number ten.
