This video shows a static fire test of the Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.

🚨🇯🇵 INSANELY FAST TRAIN MADE TRAINSPOTTING MAINSTREAM IN JAPAN Japan just flexed hard with its newest bullet train, blasting by at nearly 250 mph, which is just shy of what a commercial jet hits during takeoff. Crowds gather with phones out, expecting a cool moment, then boom, it's gone in under two seconds. The latest models are currently undergoing the last stages of testing. Japan plans to unleash it by 2030, and yeah, it’s basically a land rocket. Source: Japan Times

China's first reusable rocket, Zhuque-3, sadly failed its maiden flight. The first stage failed to recover during the landing, but the actual landing point was very close to the expected location. The second stage successfully entered the predetermined orbit. Failure is the mother of success. This is a brand new area for China's space program. Learn from this failure and wish for success next time!

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."

Huey Crashes During Flight Test On December 2, 1977, a U.S. Army UH-1H Huey crashed while attempting an autorotation landing during flight testing of the experimental MULTEWS (Multiple Target Electronic Warfare System) at Edwards Air Force Base. The externally mounted MULTEWS significantly degraded the helicopter's performance and handling, leading to the termination of the flight test program. Both pilots suffered broken backs but recovered and returned to flying just a few months later.

Dragon Launch Escape Initiated During the launch escape test, where SpaceX intentionally destroyed an entire rocket to prove its safety, Dragon was fed the normal launch sequence for an ISS mission. Dragon wasn’t told to escape, but its onboard autonomous flight computers noticed the loss of thrust on Falcon before the Merlin engines could even fully shut down. Once Dragon realized there was a mission critical anomaly, it instantly initiated the launch escape sequence firing all 8 SuperDraco thrusters, separating explosive bolts on the second stage, and took autonomous control of the mission, in less time than any human reaction on the ground or in the capsule could of realized. Falcon, the crew, Dragon, and the ground can all initiate an escape if required. Although this test was uncrewed (meaning nobody was on the rocket during the test), if there was a life threatening emergency that would put the mission at risk, Dragon could leave and get out of the situation immediately.

Harrier elevator ride "The "Farley Takeoff," developed by legendary test pilot John Farley, involved hovering a Harrier jet at 100 feet before pitching the nose up to a steep 60-degree angle while still in a hover. Once in this vertical position, he would apply maximum power to "rocket climb" away, a "seat of the pants" maneuver that was strictly forbidden for Royal Air Force and Royal Navy service pilots due to its extreme difficulty and lack of instrument guidance.

It was a clean, controlled ocean splashdown. The vehicle flipped vertically, completed its landing burn, and safely touched down before tipping and exploding, achieving 100% of its test objectives exactly as planned, including the explosion Yet, the legacy media like The Guardian deliberately choose headlines like "SpaceX rocket bursts into flames" to farm clicks, making it look like a failure when it's in fact the complete opposite, all for cheap sensationalism
