That was awesome as hell. *doublepromote

Always loved Thundercats as a kid (along with Silverhawks and Voltron, etc.) and been getting my kids into them as well.

Just saw that they added the original series to Hulu.

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.

I'm pretty sure I've watched this series 4 times now. So damned good.

I was surprised by how good the series is TBH.

Damn, that's a lot of production value for a YT series!

I loved Max Headroom. Remember the sci-fi TV series? I member.

Blipverts are exactly like skipping commercials at 3X speed imo. Surprisingly not many obese viewers have spontaneously exploded.

I liked this, but ran out of interest around 20 minutes in. I really didn't need a >7 minute explanation of what late night talk shows are. Even with Max narrating this should have been maybe 10 minutes long, not near 40.

It's Zefrak, he does the True Facts series.

I know, right? Even though these videos are a major source of advertising and hype for 40K, GW is notorious for being cease-and-desist happy. But I have to wonder if there is a bit of legal wiggle-room here - is it fair-use? Is it because the authour hasn't monetized the videos?

Hopefully, GW realises how great these are for introducing people to the 40K universe. They could *easily* contract the artist to make a proper series out of these...I'd pay to watch it.

I have read NTSB air crash reports for decades...disasters are so rarely the result of just one mistake. And this is the same sort of thing. A series...and then lessons written in blood.

I had a friend who was a trained chemical engineer--he was always upset at BP's budgeting for maintenance and oversight. He felt they had a terrible history of accidents because they were always trying to cut it too close. That you just had to spend a certain amount of money to do chemical process and petrochemicals safely. He was right.

*doublepromote recording a *quality timeline for posterity...and for a series of commercials during the next election reminding people why (by then) thousands died and why we're in a depression.

Keep reminding the weak minded cultists exactly what their messiah said and did, because if it's not shoved in their face at least once an hour they'll forget it and pretend he's never said anything different from what he says right now, and anyone who claims he did is "fake news".
We are living in 1984, but big brother has had a severe mental decline.

I fully expect him to take credit when Mexico starts building the wall to keep Americans out.

I was just thinking the other day how we have the new Fallout games, but not a new BG. Especially since the original Fallout games were probably only made due to the success of the BG series.

Rare Earth is one of the best series on YouTube right now and it gets criminally-little notice.

I could watch another 8 hours of this. Where's my Netflx series?

without doubt, the garbage that was tested is worthless - but the testing presented was a bit naive. Alpha particles do have a very short path-length - the alpha radiation that he was detecting (while the emitter was covered) may well have been from radon gas that is being produced by the the thorium in these devices. The threat from skin exposure to directly generated alphas is likely negligible - but the threat from ingestion of the thorium oxide coming off these dangerous trinkets is likely much greater than he recognized. A significant fraction of lung cancer deaths are from inhaled radon daughter products that occur naturally - all these products are part of the decay series for thorium...

I loved the original series as a kid, and this reboot looks promising. Not promising enough to invest in an Apple tv, but I'm sure it'll eventually be available in some other format...
