New video soon -- requesting feedback now
Added 2022-12-21 02:22:39 +0000 UTCHello wonderful folks, we have a video coming out.
This one was a challenge to make. I hope you enjoy it!
Here's a close to final cut -- any notes? anything you like or dislike? anything we missed? https://www.dropbox.com/s/tjph5bsh974mz0d/VERITASIUM_KINETIC_WEAPONS_v3.mp4?dl=0
As usual, if you have title/thumbnail ideas, they are very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Petr (on behalf of the whole Ve team)

The video was great. It shows just how difficult a weapon like that could be to develop. Great work.

2022-12-24 03:44:07 +0000 UTCIt seems worth discussing the one somewhat real test of the Brilliant Pebbles Program: See test #2 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Pebbles Note that its failure involved gyroscopes, which I'm guessing were like the ones used in space attitude control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_moment_gyroscope As pointed out above, to "drop" a thing from space, it needs de-orbiting thrust. For a successful simulated "drop" from inside the atmosphere, it might also be easier to put some well-aimed momentum into the object from the drop platform, maybe a sling shot? :-)
