I love that pinned comment so, so much.

Started the video at a random spot, and within 15 seconds "... as the vehicle is released, using a secret release mechanism that SpinLaunch hid from our cameras... ". Thought I could resist watching, not so sure, now.

ZOMG it's 42 minutes long.

I'm going to get through my day, make some dinner, hang out with my family, put the kid to bed, pour three fingers of bourbon and CUE THIS UP

I was in my kitchen heating up some leftovers, and yelling at my wife "NO, BUT THIS IS CONTENT ESPECIALLY FOR ME".

You will only regret about 10 minutes of those 42, when they run through some formulaic plug-n-chugs. And those segments have better educational visuals than NASA, e-texts, y'know, almost anything. Fuckin' timeline.
