Hi, I created a new yt account, I posted some videos, and I would be very happy if maybe some of you could help me grow by subscribing and watching my videos.

I make videos about SpaceX launches, and much more.

Hey! We've been working since last year on a In Control: Rocketry, a spaceflight sim where you build the rocket and wire up its control panel yourself. Sensors, inputs, outputs, the whole thing is Turing-complete, so however you want to solve a flight problem, there's a way to do it. It will be available on Steam in 2027.

Real orbital mechanics, a fictional solar system to explore, sandbox mode if you just want to mess around and blow things up!

Feel free to add the game to your wishlist if you want to support the project! See you in space.

On This Day, October 18, 1963, a small black-and-white cat named Félicette became the first cat to travel into space. Félicette made history when French scientists launched her beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Long before cats became internet celebrities, this brave little feline became part of one of the most unusual chapters of the space race.

During the 1960s, the United States, the Soviet Union, and other nations were racing to understand whether living organisms could survive the extreme conditions of spaceflight.

Scientists had already sent dogs, monkeys, and other animals on missions to study how space travel affected the body.

France decided to conduct its own experiments.

A group of cats underwent training and medical monitoring before one was selected for the mission. Her original designation was C341.

On the morning of October 18, 1963, Félicette was placed inside a specially designed capsule attached to a French Véronique rocket.

The rocket launched from Hammaguir in the Algerian Sahara.

Then came the extraordinary journey.

Félicette travelled to an altitude of approximately 157 kilometres, crossing the commonly used 100-kilometre boundary of space.

During the flight, she experienced several minutes of weightlessness while scientific instruments monitored her physiological and neurological responses.

Unlike an orbital spacecraft, the rocket did not carry her around Earth. Instead, it followed a suborbital trajectory before returning toward the ground.

After the capsule descended by parachute, recovery teams located it and brought Félicette safely back to Earth.

She had survived the journey.

Her mission provided scientists with data about how a living organism responded to the conditions of spaceflight.

Yet Félicette's story also has a heartbreaking side.

About two months after her flight, she was euthanized so researchers could examine the effects of the mission on her body. Reports indicate that the hoped-for scientific insights from that examination were limited.

For decades, her name received far less attention than those of other animal space pioneers, including Laika the Soviet space dog.

But Félicette's place in history is unique.

She remains the first cat known to have travelled into space—and the only cat to have completed such a mission.

Her story reminds us that the early space race was not driven by rockets and astronauts alone. Animals were also used in experiments as scientists tried to understand the risks of leaving Earth.

She returned from space alive, but her name deserves to live on in history.

The asteroid Aphophis is making a flyby soon. We still have time to launch a Mission. What do you say?

Be for realll

I understand it may be limited if it has any due to its focus on mockups and part task trainers , not the software.
