It's Space related as is our game. I find such stuff highly interesting. Enjoy. :)

Great video, and very refreshing to see someone talking about such stuff than the usual boring nerd. :)
It would be so cool to have the talent and motivation like these guys, I never came close to science even though I find these stuff fascinating.

Amazing to me we built space shuttles and a space station but no moon shuttles. Von Braun was talking moon trips in 1955 and his goal was a trip to Mars by 1975:

And here we are in 2019, still poking around in L.E.O.

The Apollo program ate a substantial portion of the US budget already.
Having said that, the U.S. also wasted much of the time and talent of Von Braun because of -german bigotry.

Circuits in your modern washing machine, or microwave oven are more complex than this. It baffles my mind to think that this one day was used in some of the most complex and dangerous missions in human history.

Probably why my dishwasher doesn't work!

There is something to be said for simplicity.

Thanks for posting that. It brought back memories.
I started working in computers/electronics in the late 60’s. In the early 70’s I worked for an IC manufacturer (CMOS) and opened up several ICs. (They made a different sort of cufflinks.) :)
