Video of the week
Re-entry of the Stardust comet sample return mission was successful and the re-entry was on target. My cool video of the day is a movie taken by a crew out of the Ames Research Center whose mission statement is to run "An airborne and ground observing campaign to test thermal protection systems in the fastest re-entries since Apollo and probe the delivery of organics for life’s origins by measuring the physical conditions during re-entry."
This video is the standout, but there are a few good ones on the site.
Getting towed off the coast of Maui to gain the speed you need to take off on waves like this.
If you have seen any cool video clips, please let me know!
