From France to the moon: rocket simulator opens in Toulouse

Cité de l'Espace is launching a new immersive experience: Lune Xplorer, where you can take a seat in a #rocket simulator.

You can climb aboard a spaceship similar to the one that will soon take man back to the Moon.

Every detail is realistic, including the number of passengers: four per capsule. The simulator is in fact a centrifuge that reproduces all the effects of acceleration.

"We were really caught up, glued to the seat... As soon as we moved our heads we really lost north and south, but it was really cool," said one visitor.

Several military experts have sent their views on what caused the massacre at Baptist Hospital in Gaza.

  • The yellow section is a point of impact of either the tail of the rocket or large shrapnel

  • the fact that most of the cars in the parking space have damaged roof, suggest that the bomb exploded above the ground and it was probably an anti personel bomb

  • the damage on the vegetations and trees at the hospital also support that theory which means who ever dropped that bomb, was intentionally trying to kill as many people as possible

  • The bombs Israel haa been using against Gaza buildings are mostly guided missiles with 2400kg of explosives to destroy buildings

  • other bombs Israel haa used in the past were white phosphorus that explodes about a 100 meters above the ground and set people and building on fire, this was not such bomb

  • everyone seems to agree that is highly unlikely, close to impossible that a misfired Hamas or PIJ missile had caused this.

Without impartial investigators and lack of forensic sampl of shrapnels of the bombs, it's going to be impossible to identify the type of the bomb and it's origin.

RUSHED, SURPRISE #ROCKET LAUNCH: There was no warning. On Thursday night at 7:28 pm PDT, a Firefly Alpha rocket lifted off from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. It carried an unusual #satellite named "Victus Nox." Stephen Hummel saw the launch more than a thousand miles away at the McDonald Observatory in Texas:

"A bright exhaust cone expanded to cover a large area of the sky during astronomical darkness," says Hummel. "After the cone faded, there was a slight red afterglow" probably caused by the rocket #punching a #hole in the #ionosphere.

Latin for "conquer the night", Victus Nox is a US Space Force experiment, testing the ability of Firefly Alpha to launch a #military satelite with only 24 hours notice--a so-called "responsive #launch." In the past, typical Defense Department launches took anywhere from two to five years. The last responsive #space #experiment, the June 13, 2021 launch of TacRL-2, required 21 days.

Alpha Firefly successfully launched Victus Nox only 27 hours after it received a "go" notice. The extra 3 hours was a result of a #weather delay. The mini-fridge-sized satellite will now provide "space domain awareness" data to the Space #Force.

Water Rocket! Sprinkler Toy

How it's going (include amazon search here).

It was about 18€ for me overall (incl shipping, lets say, maybe 20 bucks overall in us)..

And the grandchildren of my landlord-neighbour (3yrs and 1yr rn) will absolutely love it in the upcoming year......

It was _just_ a day to late for this years summer season....

Heck, i'm an adult .. i can wait half a year to have fun with it and them. ;)
