It's amazing how ordinary planes/jets are nowadays although it's only over 120 years since the first powered plane. The speed of technologically advancement is mind blowing. A man who lived in 100 AD would have recognized most things he saw in 1700 AD. A man who lived in 1900 AD would be so lost in today's world.
But since the moon landing? The last crewed mission to the moon was 1972, and the 747 design dates from 1968.
There have of course been incredible advances in aeronautics and space technology over the last 50 years for those who pay attention, but the really spectacular stuff seems to have petered out.
(And no, memey pissboy isn't ever going to get to Mars.)
The last great jump forward, at least to civilians, was concorde, which was then discontinued. Since then I get the feeling that nobody really has the urge or resources (often both) to make a leap again.
A few companies are making a new supersonic airliner.
Of course there have been a few state of the art military jets and more are coming. But we rarely see them as regular people.
It's mainly because. Going to the moon was to get the public behind paying for development for getting into space reliably. We needed that for military reasons. Such as being able to monitor the USSR, detect missile launches around the globe, real time communications for the military worldwide and so forth.
Which gave us civilian global telecommunications, GPS, weather monitoring and everything else.
Going to the moon still has the same problem now as then. It takes a lot of fuel. They likely won't do it again. Until we have a way of setting up some means of reliable fuel manufacturing on the moon. Making it vastly cheaper. That's when we'll see the big changes in space travel again.
There's already a push to cut NASA's budget. Artemis keeps getting pushed back and they are looking for new contractors now. Presidents like to talk about going to the moon. There isn't the political will to follow through. As any program takes too long from start to finish.
They don't have a hard date for landing.
They don't have a hard landing site.
They don't even have a set contractor anymore and are flip flopping on Space X.
There are plans to scrap the Orion Capsule and SLS after Artemis III. (If it happens)
Trump has pushed for scrapping the whole project and slash NASAs budget.
I think it'll just keep getting delayed. They'll get more vague about the plans. Then they just will stop talking about it.
Yep. My maternal grandparents were born slightly before Kitty Hawk, I sat on my grandmother's lap as a small child to watch Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
The past few generations are the only people to have wondered what their grandparents world was like. For thousands of years, people knew exactly what their ancestors life was like because they were living just like them. It’s an interesting thing to sit down and think about.
Just this week I was trying to describe to a younger co-worker the speed of internet technology and how fast things have changed with it. My co-worker, they've only known high speed internet for their life online. While there are still major changes going on now with the internet, he himself hasn't noticed any real change in the speed of the net.
I was trying to tell him about the days of dial up internet services and connecting with a 56k modem. The look on his face was funny because he was trying to soak in the things I was telling him. I was going on to things that were even before my time of getting on the net like 14.4k modems and getting charged by the minute for time online by internet providers.
There were amazing shifts of how the internet changed from the 70s and 80s onto what we see now.
It is but also consider how much we aren't advancing. It's a tradgey but war famine and competition advances the tech tree in certain areas much quicker than current times.
I mean yea. After we nuked Japan, every nation under the sun probably got cold feet and now today we see each big nation with nuclear weapons. And unfortunately if we go to war, like world war, well you know
Possibly. Still think there a lot we are not told I could be wrong but it’s my opinion there huge chunks either missing or that we just aren’t told about. Plus anchient history changes a lot depending on new finding and research. It could be very well possible form 100ad to 1700 ad there could been stuff we don’t know about. But either way I agree shit has been crazy fast I would be more willing to say some one from early late 1800s would be just as confused lol.
This is the underlying premise of The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler. We were all born into a time of rapid waves technological advancement that never existed through all human history.
True. My modern and contemporary history of Europe's professor gave a series of lectures about the qualitative difference between the technological advancements across the XIX and XX centuries and any following ones (the former being authentic innovations, the latter just incrementally quantitative advancements).
It was an era of technology upending the framework of beliefs and the phenomenology of tech itself: miles and kilometres of telephone wires popping up at the side of the roads, fresh food arrived on a refrigerated cargo ship from around the world, receiving the report of the outcome of the battle of Waterloo in real-time, speaking with someone on the other side of the globe, riding rubber under bicycles, then cars, capturing reality and reproducing reality with photography and cinema, flying, yet also reproducing the explosive magnitude of earthquakes with navy shelling and shattering the human nervous system like never before.
These classes were more than a decade ago, and of course I debated about the cyber space being a qualitatively authentic innovation, rather than just a reconfiguration of pre-existing innovations. I argued that the distinct feature of it is its phenomenological inverted "polarity": the cyber space acts as an original, primeval, essential void and it signals its existence via disappearances: telephone brought landlines, email eliminated snail mail; vehicles brought rubber and smog, facetiming eliminated a portion of transportations; communications brought new specialized professions and professionals, like morse code operators, while digital documents erased stationery shops and all the jobs related to it; in the cusp of the previous century you would see new things physically popping up everywhere, while cyber space (as an umbrella concept) has been making things physically disappear, as its purely informational nature disembodies any function and optimises it within a very confined portion of reality (the so called touch-points: smartphones, pcs, tvs, appliances, etc.).
Less lost than we would imagine. My house would still be here 200 years, the pubs down the street would be too. Supermarket would be replaced by a smaller market but that would only be a 10 minute walk away. I would work in a factory. It would be more dangerous but it wouldn't be unimaginable.
Yeah air travel is mad and feels like magic but how often is the average person flying? Going to the moon would be insane but I would recognise it if I jumped 100 years in the future.
When my 1900 ad exchange student arrives we'll go to the same pub on the end of the same street and have far better beer. Cars? Horse and carriage meets trains. That road that the Romans built from bath to London? We built a bigger road on it. Call them motorways.
The whole period here is post industrial revolution. London in 1900 had a population of 5m. These weren't primitive people who didn't understand innovation and weren't exposed to changing tech.
In 2013 I flew from Atlanta, GA, to Johannesburg and think I remember seeing 644 mph on the in flight info screen. Blew my mind that I could be going that fast and not feel a single thing.
I think we don't really perceive the speed at which planes travel. There's another video where the perceived speed seems even higher, but that might be bc the plane from which the video is taken is flying towards the other. But really impressive nonetheless... Sustaining that speed, for hours, day after day and with in the end rather small engines vs the speed delivered is insane. With top reliability on top of that 99% of the time.
Human engineering can do some sick things !
Meanwhile, the amount of chemicals required would mean that it was one of the most massive conspiracies of all time, but it would still be fitting that the current administration wouldn't be able to figure it out.
They are at minimum 1,000 feet altitude difference. They fly either odd or even altitudes at cruise depending on direction they are flying....normally.
Things get weird in the air like that. I'm not a pilot or anything but between having been on planes irl and the flight sim games I've played, you'd be surprised how much being up in the clouds with little to no frame(s) of reference for speed, direction, size, etc can confuse you. I imagine the fact that this is a video you're watching and not seeing it with your own eyes only adds to the lack of clarity.
Not to mention those planes are huge and this one appears very small in the video, suggesting it's farther than you might think at a glance.
So awesome. I've flown hundreds of times in my life, sadly only caught this a few times ever. I'm always shocked by how fast they close when you see it from that angle.
I'm sure there has been more, but I'm not always staring out the window. ha
It's crazy how you never fully realize how fast these things are really going when you're in them. Being in a Shinkansen feels blazing fast at 200mph, and yet these commercial planes are flying at nearly 3x the speed
No, just flying. It’s so freakishly cold at high altitude that water vapor from jet engine exhaust freezes pretty much instantly, forming contrails (not chemtrails). This is different from cloud seeding which adds non-water particles to the air to allow water to stick to. Seeding is a much larger and more-involved process than just planes flying around.
Turns out contrails contribute significantly to global warming, but their effect can be reversed if we just get the airlines to change altitude to prevent them. It might cost more fuel, but the net effect is still positive.
Yeah, clouds act like a blanket. IR that would have escaped to space is reflected back to Earth.
This effect is one of the compounding factors of global warming that threatens to cause a positive feedback loop. As the planet warms, more water will be evaporated into the atmosphere, resulting in more cloud cover, resulting in more trapped heat. See: Venus.
Global human population reduction is the retreat of the uneducated. You only say this because you have no concept of the scale of the various effects involved. Attempting to imagine the complexities required causes you frustration, so you propose something you are capable of imagining, but it is small and cruel.
What are you going to do? Hold a genocide, I suppose? A mass sterilization program? Stop it. Malthusianism is long debunked, and, when practiced, devolves into atrocity. How will you decide who stays and goes? Eugenics, I suppose?
No. It's actually very easy. They just have to change altitude when they're making contrails. Yes, it burns slightly more fuel, but it's FUCKING TINY. The engineers have done the math and it is worth doing. It will have only the most minor effect on prices.
It's amazing how ordinary planes/jets are nowadays although it's only over 120 years since the first powered plane. The speed of technologically advancement is mind blowing.

Between the first powered flight and landing a person on the moon was 66 years. One persons lifetime. That always shocks me at how fast it developed.
The sad thing is what made it develop so quickly was two world wars.
But since the moon landing? The last crewed mission to the moon was 1972, and the 747 design dates from 1968.
There have of course been incredible advances in aeronautics and space technology over the last 50 years for those who pay attention, but the really spectacular stuff seems to have petered out.

Are you predicting the Artemis missions to be cancelled?
There's already a push to cut NASA's budget. Artemis keeps getting pushed back and they are looking for new contractors now. Presidents like to talk about going to the moon. There isn't the political will to follow through. As any program takes too long from start to finish.
I think it'll just keep getting delayed. They'll get more vague about the plans. Then they just will stop talking about it.
Isn't re-opening bid for the human landing system for Artemis III specifically to accelerate delivery though?
China will go!
Microchips? We're in the digital age by now lol
I just love your phrasing of "memey pissboy"
And also a competition on who has the biggest dick between two superpower
It wasn't really that vain. It was perceived as an existential threat.
dont forget the multiple cold and proxy wars as well
Yep. My maternal grandparents were born slightly before Kitty Hawk, I sat on my grandmother's lap as a small child to watch Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
Doesn't really surprise me, that's the power of the basic elements of creativity combined with chaos theory and exponential growth of a population.
The past few generations are the only people to have wondered what their grandparents world was like. For thousands of years, people knew exactly what their ancestors life was like because they were living just like them. It’s an interesting thing to sit down and think about.

I still remember using 300 baud modem on the 1Mhz C64

You could reasonably be born before cars were common and live to see the moon landing
And it's really all thanks to our burning desire to kill lots of people quickly.
Possibly. Still think there a lot we are not told I could be wrong but it’s my opinion there huge chunks either missing or that we just aren’t told about. Plus anchient history changes a lot depending on new finding and research. It could be very well possible form 100ad to 1700 ad there could been stuff we don’t know about.

The plane in this clip is from 1969, it's almost 60 years old.
Every new technology and invention makes the next more likely. That means technology grows exponentially.
We have 100-1000x more people in the world now, and they’re all able to communicate and collaborate with each other.
Every person now has way more free time to tinker and experiment.
We now have the scientific method.
All are contributing factors to the increase in technology from antiquity to now.

Cars. TV. Internet. Your phone. Air travel (even when observed from the ground).
When my 1900 ad exchange student arrives we'll go to the same pub on the end of the same street and have far better beer. Cars? Horse and carriage meets trains. That road that the Romans built from bath to London? We built a bigger road on it. Call them motorways.

Once you realize that, that old 300ton tin can is going at Mach 0.9 at 33000ft 🤯
This footage just shows what a beast it is...
In 2013 I flew from Atlanta, GA, to Johannesburg and think I remember seeing 644 mph on the in flight info screen. Blew my mind that I could be going that fast and not feel a single thing.
It's insane but nobody really thinks about it. This video just shows what a beautiful machine Boeing created before going to shit
Plus, the Queen of the Sky, please.

Chemtrails!!!
/s
Those frogs aren't going to make themselves gay
I thought that the frog gayification chemicals were different from the chemtrail ones.
thanks for the /s
You never know, so just in case.
I turned gay just from watching the video, they’re POISNONING JS!! WAEK PUUUU!!!
Very dangerous!
Nah, it’s on fire. Just modern Boeing things.
"Chemtrails are real!"
Meanwhile, the amount of chemicals required would mean that it was one of the most massive conspiracies of all time, but it would still be fitting that the current administration wouldn't be able to figure it out.
Is your plane on fire Clark?
Song?
FYI The original song is actually Sudno (Судно) by Molchat Doma. The LLXVD version used in this video is just an uncredited slowed down edit.
Sudno LLXVD
But why use the word Boeing here? Why not 747? Weird.
The trails look so majestic
Those are chemtrails
Contrails: Condensation Trails.
He's trolling.
Hydrogen and oxygen are chemicals.
Chemicals are poisonous
Damn, I should stop consuming dihydrogen monoxide
Why does it look like they're on the same altitude?
Don't planes have to travel on a specific designated altitude depending on what Direction they are going?
Might look that way but I would bet there’s 1000+ feet of altitude difference there honestly.
They are at minimum 1,000 feet altitude difference. They fly either odd or even altitudes at cruise depending on direction they are flying....normally.

Leaving trails of clouds
Pure cloud, sure
That will always be impressive! I love to see 747's.
Look at all that autism spewing out of it!
Planes Aren’t Real

Footage like this really makes you appreciate how they “swim” through the atmosphere
Adagio for strings playing in the background
This is fleet command The mothership is stand by All systems nominal
If I call an office and get this ring tone I d never hang up
Oh boy, that music!!!
So awesome. I've flown hundreds of times in my life, sadly only caught this a few times ever. I'm always shocked by how fast they close when you see it from that angle.

Wow... 😳
That is insanely cool looking
What music would you call this? Puts me in a trance
It’s dark synth wave, and the band is called Molchat Doma. They are sooooooooo good. It’s like ASMR or something. Immediately calming
Incredible
I believe this video was taken from another jet moving as fast or faster in the opposite direction thereby doubling the perceived speed of the Boeing.
This has come up a lot. Is Boeing PR re-posting?
Chem trails!!
Is it cloud seeding ?
No, just flying. It’s so freakishly cold at high altitude that water vapor from jet engine exhaust freezes pretty much instantly, forming contrails (not chemtrails).

Mofo is chemtrailing as if no one was watching 👀
