Virgin Hyperloop - First Passenger Test
https://virginhyperloop.com/pegasus has some more technical details, including that there are airlocks, and it's only a medium vacuum (100 Pa, but still very dangerous).
Their newer maglev tech looks promising though.
Bullet trains are quite convenient, but I wouldn't trust any built/run/maintained by USA passenger train companies - safety record is abysmal.
Whole New Worlds: An Aladdin History of Exoplanets
Wasn't easy being a planet hunter back in the day *promote
I'm looking for
1 tug
The pull of a planet
1 tell
A wobbling sun
I've searched for years
Haven't found a one
But they're out there
1 jump
In radial redshift
1 slip
Of spectral lines
They'll see if I can show them the sines
Pish tosh
Green men
Take five
Take ten
Just a little cash guys
Budget's tight
Don't fund this trash guys
I can take a hint
Better face the facts
Second-hand'll have to do
Eww
All you planet hunters at the bottom
You've got fact & fantasy entwined
Finding planets except they haven't got one
Well they gotta be forming readily
When you think about it given we've got nine
1 jump
A blip in the spectrum
1 shift of meters per second
1 graph of period power
They laugh but I'm not sour
Here goes
18 months of data
Cross & correlate it
All I gotta do is run
Pish tosh
Green men
Ah don't mind them
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a pure void
No sirree
They'd find out
There's worlds galore
To see
Make way for Pegasi
51 Pegasi
First was a world
Round an old pulsar
That's true
But the news
Is a sun-like star
With wobble
Too quick & precise
To be designed
No fluke not a spot
If you like it hot
You're gonna love this find
Pegasi 51b
Planet discovered
Orbit traced
Every 4 days
Hot as can be
Its order-Jupiter size
Was something of a surprise
Especially given its star's proximity
Pegasi 51b
It's a new era
To detect
Exoplanets
Soon there'll be three
As planet pulls on its Sun
It shifts the stellar spectrum
That's how we found 51b Pegasi
How'd a planet get so close in orbit
Cause I thought you needed ice to form it
Did it later undergo some strange migration
Star too small to be so long-pulsating
And too old to be so quick rotating
Is there any other good interpretation
This will certainly help with our funding
We got your funding
We got your funding
Got a surface of 1200 C
It's treacherous
So treacherous
If in time this new breakthrough feels mundane
Planets are common
That's proof
Of the truth
I've been telling you
This is no mean anomaly
Pegasi 51b
Planet uncovered
Round a far
Main sequence star
Spectral type G
We know its mass to be high
Half Jupiter by sine i
It's 15.61 pc from home
And it shakes our faith in how planets are formed
And its star is in Pegasus
Give it an A and thus
Label the planet as b
51 Pegasi
Plotting Doppler shifts is glacial-pace
And that astrometry never prevails
But baby you're in luck cause
Up in space
You got a planet-finder never fails
You got the power of statistics now
You got a view without an atmosphere
So no more nights spent locked up in your tower
All you gotta do is wait right here
And I say
Kepler the planet-searcher
Got a dip, no 2, no 3
We just measure brightness
Plot it out & that's transiting photometry
When your stars do this
And your curves displace
Then your star's got this
Transiting its face
Then you hit compute
And lookie here
You get good diameter data
From that dip
And orbit distance from the length of year
Well now we need this tale supported by
A ground observer with a good Échelle
We got 2000 planets certified
2000 more that only time will tell
But let's take em all, plot em out
And find out if we're really all alone
Is there a rocky world we've found no doubt
That orbits in the habitable zone
Like home?
Kepler the planet searcher
Got an Earth 452b
Part of a throng
40 billion strong
There ain't never been a field
Clever as the field
There ain't never been a field
Better than the field they call
Exoplanetology
I can show you a world
A shining shimmering planet
Found concealed in the band-shifts
Of the closest star in sight
I've found hope in the skies
And facing wonder I wonder
Could the sine wave discovered be
A planet fit for life
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of blue
Placed in that narrow zone
Where water flows
Midway tween cold & steaming
A whole new world
Its sun a faint, reddish hue
Could there be waiting here
A biosphere
Evolving in this whole new world to view
Fathoming a whole new world to view
Unbelievable find
Indescribable feeling
Earthlings someday revealing
Through directly captured light
A whole new world
Don't just stare from a far
Though nigh impossible to see
Wouldn't close up be bolder
Next to its parent's flair
If life is there
We'll know through atmosphere spectroscopy
A whole new world
Block the glare of the star
A laser starshot to pursue
With a star-shaped occulter
Chasing that crazy dream
That's always been
Of walking in a whole new world with you
a whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A home in space
For you and me

Skynet's latest acquisition: X-47A Pegasus has been added as a related post - related requested by kulpims on that post.
(English) Supercute Pegasus Airlines Safety Announcement
I've also sifted the Turkish version (it's a Turkish airline) because it's even cuter:

Mytho Logique
Reminds me of how a Siftquisition works. Sans pegasus.
I love Asus
It's always been AY-sus for me, too.
But if they're cutting up Pegasus, then they should be pronouncing it Uh-Sis.
Just sayin'.
I love Asus
Yeah, definitely AY-SUS. Though if it's from "Pegasus" then I guess "Asses" is right...
I love Asus
From Wikipedia:
"The company explains the name Asus as originating from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology.[6][7] The new organization used only the last four letters of the word in order to give the resulting name a high position in alphabetical listings."
Though, the origin of the name clearly has no bearing on its accepted pronunciation.

NEW- CLASH of the TITANS preview (awesome)
>> ^dag:
I enjoyed the original when I was a kid. I remember the special effects for Pegasus being especially good at the time.
I still watch the original, along with Ray Harryhausen's other great works:
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
Jason and the Argonauts
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
One Millions Years B.C.
Mysterious Island
I'm a big fan...

Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace plays the Final Five theme (1:21)
^Boooooring.
Forgive my bitterness, but I feel like BSG's jilted lover. The first season? The New Caprica occupation? All that sneaking around on Old Caprica? Admiral Kaine and the Pegasus? So many great times that we shared together, but now the mythology has become such a convoluted load of shaggy-dogged bullcrap. They've suspended disbelief so far past the breaking point that it's almost parody at this point. So many loose ends forgotten about. So many failed plot contrivances brushed under the carpet.
What did I do to deserve this BSG? I was always faithful to you. I even got chastised from my ISP from bittorrenting you! I want out of this loveless relationship, BSG! You promised me explosions, zero-G space battles and Machiavellian power struggles, but now all you can muster is warmed over soap opera drivel.
In fairness, I was multitasking while watching this last episode, and issy hasn't seen it yet, so I'll probably end up watching it again without divided attention.
Let's hope they knock the last few out of the park.
