That's correct, but I have to wonder the practicality of this test given that the whole point was to show the 'physics package' (the part that goes 'fuckin' BOOM!') wouldn't be obliterated in the event the Chinese blast it with a rocket sled.

It got smashed the fuck up! That will teach the Russkies if they mess with America, we will send more rocket sleds against their inert nuclear weapons!
USA!

IRL Rocket Jockeys???

Also while searching Rocket Jockeys on YouTube I found out a REMAKE IS IN THE WORKS!!!! Very excite!

I kinda see it as a supporting actor to your submission. You know, like an extra upvote 🚀 for you.

Trump sings the national anthem,

Oh say can you see la la la gleaming...
Who's broad.. I knew a broad that would..
ramming ramparts la la la

The Rockets red GLARE! The Bombs bursting in air!
We have the best bombs, beautiful bombs, nobody knows more about bombs than me

La la la Flag was still there. It's the land of the free thanks to me!

These guys pretend like Mythbusters or Punkin' Chunkin' never existed... definitely over-engineered. Cool slow-mo videos though, and gotta support the Rocket City Trash Pandas

Oh yes I take ITER as good news, but it still leaves us 20 - 40 years from a... well I wanted to write a commercial fusion plant, however that might be a trifle optimistic.

Lets say we are at best 20-40 years from a functional prototype of a commercialy viable plant.

ITER is very much a test, any way you bend it. DEMO is waiting for ITERs outcome. Of course ITER will work, tokamaks have operated since the 1960s, that is like claiming a rocket will almost certainly fly. Yet we still stand in awe when it does.

It took 50 years from Einsteins nearly blind-guess prediction of a physical phenomenon to fission power plants. 50 years from the Orvilles hops to jet passenger planes. 58 years from Ciolkovskys crazy drawings to a man in space. In my grandfathers lifetime we went from horse-drawn carriages to the SR-71.
In my lifetime we have gone from landing on the moon to almost maybe landing there again some time.

We are slowing down or the going is getting more difficult.

That's what flying out of John Wayne in Orange County feels like. The last time I flew out of there, the pilot didn't do a standard roll. He pushed the throttles to max while holding the brakes, then popped the brakes and off we went. There's a noise-abatement zone just beyond the airport, so the pilots go up like rocket, then cut the throttles back and it feels like the plane is dropping out of the sky.

Any rocket that sets off car alarms is alright with me. Mission accomplished.

Kinda like a cigarette after boinking.

IMHO in this genre of video, where he is basically on a tourist trip showing ruins of an old testing facility, its all about the nice pictures and feeling of adventure. The miss on the name of the rocket that was tested hardly even matters to me, the average consumer. Obviously it matters to him and his team, and potentially lowers trustworthiness, so good on him for correcting himself.

If this was a series of documentaries on old testing sites it would be a showstopper, obviously.

Dog sucked into vacuum of rocket launch.

Driving the astronauts to the rocket in Teslas. Nice shameless cross promotion, Elon.
