Fun fact: The WW2 & Vietnam War Essex class aircraft carrier CV-38 Shangri-La was not named after some dumb book, but after 'Camp David' where Roosevelt and Churchill planned how they'd fight WW2. (Eisenhower later renamed Shangri La to 'Camp David' after an irrelevant complete nobody: his grandson.) HEY! Lost Horizons was not a dumb book.

Fun fact: We have a countdown for HeavyBooster-Starship. At this moment of writing it's slightly more than 6 hours. Fun fact: The event in countdown at 00:00 is not "liftoff" or "launch", but "Excitement Guaranteed".

That is actually an exceptionally good video and pretty well spot on and accurate on most things.

Fun "fact": (maybe not quite fact yet, but we'll see) It appears that the SpaceX Falcon9 rockets have now been cleared for 20 trips, as after a 7 month re-evaluation and examination, Falcon9s with 15 previous launches are now lining up for their 16'th flight. This is likely just a temporary limit again. When a couple of rockets have reached 20, there will be a new examination. to see if they can fly 25.

Fun fact: Despite generous shipments from the US, russia is still the biggest supplier of military equipment to Ukraine. I suppose it's all the salvaged tanks that weigh in?

Canada should really be called Kanata, which is an indigenous word meaning 'village'
"The name “Canada” likely comes from the Huron-Iroquois word “kanata,” meaning “village” or “settlement.” In 1535, two Aboriginal youths told French explorer Jacques Cartier about the route to kanata; they were actually referring to the village of Stadacona, the site of the present-day City of Québec."

A fart can actually travel from your body at a staggering speed of 7 mph.
That’s faster than some animals can run.

Snort! Incorrect! Well, not only do I see a trampoline there, but also flapping ears. So, snort. ...Also, given the trampoline, the size of that Elephant is highly suspicious, which means that might not even be close to 6 m. Edit: P.S. - Ha! I was correct in my suspicions! The time for one jump, up and down, is 2.069 s. With g = 9.81 m/s^2 that translates into height of only 5.074 m.

TBF "jumping" is a bit misleading, IIRC the shark would be the highest "breaching" animal rather than jumping.

I would bet that by distance related to their own body size that some insect probably jumps the highest.

TBF "jumping" is a bit misleading, IIRC the shark would be the highest "breaching" animal rather than jumping. Well, that was a good try. However, after a quick tour of the internet, I feel confident to say that Salmons, Tuna, Dolphins etc., "jump". Only whales and submarines "breach". But of course the shark "cheats", because it can swim upwards at great speed.

Fun fact: Chainsaws make a very distinctive wound, there's nothing quite like it. Backstory: When I was just lad, I was felling a small tree, when I slipped at an unfortunate moment. Just as the blade had cut through the tree, my right foot slipped, and I took a proper tumble. The saw was still revving, and the blade touched my left leg slightly. There was no kickback, so the chain brake didn't trigger. I was pants-off scared: I was alone in the forest, mobile phones had not been invented yet, and the nearest phone was on the mainland. I could see my jeans were torn above my left knee and turning red quickly. I rolled up the leg, and sure enough, there was a nice cut right above the knee. But I was relieved to see it didn't look too serious, so I stood up. I could move just fine, so I thought screw the saw, I'll try get to the cottage as fast as I can. Back at the cottage I cleaned the wound, and realised it was riddled with cotton fibers from my jeans. I could also see the wound properly for the first time: it was like a trench, the width of the chainsaw blade, and about 1cm/0.4inches deep and 10cm/4inches long. It was the nastiest wound I'd ever seen, the flesh was all torn and kind of zigzagged. Using tweezers, I pulled out the cotton fibers and closed the wound the best I could. After I realized the bleeding had stopped, the aftershock hit me, and I just laughed. Aftermath: The wound healed just fine and didn't get infected. Better still, I now had a very cool scar to impress the ladies with.
