Ha! Im so glad i finally got around to watching this because i love that these things are basically pinball machines with guns lol

Seems like the business model was actually ok, as long as there were customers. The sub should have been made out of steel and should have been spherical. Humans have been deeper than that in steel spheres. The CEO just seems to have been caught up of the idea of carbon fiber for some reason As soon as the 1" glued together method was known, the carbon fiber hull should have been scrapped. Swap that for a thick, single pour spring steel hull.

Half-Life 1’s story in a nutshell minus the machinations of the G-Man. My condolences to the victims and their families. 😔

17:10 What the hell would that have sounded like?

14:25 spontanious material aura collapse xD Goddamn you got me hard with that :D

I watched a research video about that viewport... It was only certified to just over 1000 meters due entirely to the flat interior of the viewport. The guy who made it wanted to do all the testing to certify it but Stockton didn't want to pay up.

Concrete is great in compression. Lets make all subs out of concrete from now on

Is this the one where the technicians use kayaks to get to each sphere?

So I apologize if this is has been brought up already but it's kind of mind boggling to me how this all works There was a similar experiment carried out in north east Ohio at a mine. While I was working in the mine, one of the miners showed me an old section of the mine that was no longer used and explained to me that this experiment used to exist but didn't have much other information about it. When I got home that evening I tried to dig up any information I could about what this experiment was and why they were doing it. Short story long what I found was a pitch to revitalize this lab chamber for something referred to as the WATCHMAN project, apparently these detectors can also be to monitor for the production of nuclear weapons. I am no where close to being a nuclear scientist, but apparently the particles emitted during the enrichment process are different than those emitted during a normal nuclear reactor for producing power

The music in the beginning makes me click off dude wtf

A lot of high precision parts strung together. How did this system hold up to stray bullets when under attack?

Stockton Rush was the single point of failure. Perceptive.

LDA #10 ADC #1 PHA etc. Lord I can still remember some of it

I really don't like those rockets that look like penis heads.

*squeals with delight*

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while! Ok, that doesn't say much - technically, anything but the worst is "one of the best", and what's "a while"? But you get the point. Thank you for this comprehensive insight with all the technical details. This does not only give me the "good old times"-vibes, but underlines what a masterpiece Elite was and is. If your dedication would be common on youtube, we wouldn't waste so much time watching brainless copy & paste videos by clueless content zombies.

13:40 flourine, hydrogen, and consequences... 🤔 Well at least the plume is hi-vis

You can have a little air bubble in your syringe. As a treat ^-^

You could have introduced us to the creation of the photon electron cascade multi tubes and stack of phospherescant screens stacked inside each one of the photomultiplier units. Huygens optics has a good skit on it. Their on here. A dutch guy naturally presents it. The one on unilluminated night vision i think.. 😊 👍

10:35 I usually undifferentiate them by welding them (permanent LSD)

shoutout the the dude named "shelf" on the Patreon list

Viggen has entered the chat! Objection, I was the first fighter with a central computer in a fighter 👍🏻

CK=Central Kalkylator

31:47 Wrong. C wasn't used until 1990. Very few commercial programs (as they were called back then) were coded in C. It's not that it wasn't good enough or that developers didn't know how to use it it's just that there weren't any good compilers. A compiler's job isn't to translate a high level language into machine code, as most people think - it's to optimize the machine language. Some of the optimization algorithms are exponential in terms of computational complexity so we are only now starting to leverage them. You are right about BASIC and Fortran though. Ultima was written entirely in BASIC and that was in 1981, and so was Pirates!.

The poor janitor starting his shift and seeing that lot..

Awesome video, my dad actually began his programming career by making a game for the bbc micro. It’s called acid drops if anyone is interested, I believe there is an online emulator to be able to play it. I even know a cheat code that no one else does!

You can't say the letter T?

Hmm... I was always of the mind that the B29 onboard AA systems were computer controlled to allow for better movement and target tracking.

They must have removed all the radioactive contamination from the air, equipment and construction materials too ? (see "When Kodak Accidentally Discovered A-Bomb Testing")

When they finish Hyper-Kamiokande they should increase the refresh rate of the realtime monitor to make it a crazy webcam that peers into the depths of the universe.

542s? Might as well count in minutes at that point. 9 minutes of ISP.

We would ping the zim on that phaser zing from Jimmy magazines. Take me and the missus a vault throw on the m ole chimmy 64 to changa to enter in that BASIC code in the zimmy night after night. Finding bugs brought us closer. Been married to the ole hook and sinker for 52 years now! 12x12 pixels! Like the ole text crawler! Been a zimmy!

First thing I’ve seen by this guy is also an obscure House of Leaves reference 10/10

33:15 so violently AMERICAN. Truly stupid, but so American. Love it.

There's nothing wrong with pronouncing Aluminum correctly.

You still said "maths", so you will probably get to keep your card.

thank you for subtitles!!

All branch instructions used relative addressing and didn't use absolute 16 bit addressing.

Your cache calc is not correct as Elite used 8 bit assemlbly and cache in a modern computer uses 32 bit code assembly. Therefore the game would be much bigger.

[IMHO: YOU OUT TO PRACTICE PRONOUNCING THE LETTER "T", AND ACTUALLY USING (SOUNDING IT, PRECISELY), IN WORDS THAT INCLUDE THIS LETTER, ("T"), INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING A "GLOTTAL STOP".... IT SEEMS THAT BRITISH PEOPLE CANNOT PROPERLY SPEAK "ENGLISH" WORDS, ANY LONGER... (..."I(t) sims (t)ha(t),(t)ha B(w)i(t)ish can(t) e(v)en spi(k) (t)he Eng(w)ish (w)ang(w)ij, any Mo(r)......"

to much you you you in a video titled something ekse. 3 min in and im done ty

We should teach people to stop hindsight before it happens

WOW!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPERLATIVE EFFORTS, TO EXPLAIN, AND DEMONSTRATE ALL OF THESE AMAZING, TECHNICAL HURDLES, IN GUNSIGHT DEVELOPMENT, IN THESE AIRCRAFT!!!

ANY PEOPLE, IN ANY NATION, WILLING TO GO TO "WAR",... NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NOW "LEGITIMATE TARGETS"... KARMA IS A B!TCH!!!

Rush used Rhino Liner instead of Flex Seal Deepsea Adhesive. Fatal mistake.

If failure is the pillar of success, the space shuttle would be a big fat column holding up a roof the size of your mom.

16 square miles is less than what has burned in LA recently.

The A-10 hate has gone too far. Yes f-111 got more tank kills (awesome plane btw), yes a-10a had a friendly fire issue, yes the a-10 glazers are usually idiots. that doesnt make it a shit plane. Its in fact a really good plane and in a tic scenario any grunt would be happy to have an a-10 above them.

Side note on the Saturn V, they had about 2 3/4 built, NASA was told to keep them operational incase they where needed, NASA was told to not use the Saturn V anymore because it was too expensive to build and run… they had almost 3 ready to launch

Torvesta?
