Nice. Actually it makes me happy and sad at the same moment. Our technology seems so slow to
evolve nowadays. New things yes, but nothing groundbreaking.

Your scope or intelligence is too narrow. Each day is more groundbreaking than the last, for
technology, in a huge way. You might just fail to be able to appreciate it.

That's so beautiful. I love how its own gravity holds it in a roughly spherical shape. It's like
a little planet. I fucking love space.

Something was added to make it begin to fizz. Was it an alka-seltzer or something?

>its own gravity holds it in a roughly spherical shape
ok first things first
ISS is ever falling towards Earth but sideways velocity keeps them in the same distance
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d57C2drB_wc), so what you see here is a giant raindrop and
because there is minimum friction it's almost spherical
the reason why it sticks together and doesn't break into million little droplets is because of
surface tension, but here you can see as the air bubbles come out, this surface tension breaks
and lets out few small little droplets

Human technological advancement is exponential and as such our technology is evolving at a much
faster rate now than in the past.
I mean hell, smart phones is only like 10 years old and it pretty much permeates through every
segment of out lives.
And the next big, society changing ones are VR, which came out this year commercially and
self-driving cars estimated to come out 2020

I think anon means that phones are getting incrementally better, but space travel development is
sadly stagnating. We reached the moon by 1969; it seemed logical to assume we'd get to Mars with
just a few decades more, and fuck, maybe further after that. Yet now we can't even leave
low-Earth orbit, like the Moon has become impossible again.
>no more soviets
>no money
Yeah yeah I know all the reasons. It's still depressing.

Oh please.
Scientists suck bawlz.
They still haven't found a cure for baldness.
Until they do that their credibility is ZERO.

Growth is/was only getting faster because for the last two hundred years or so we've just been
getting more and more connected. Putting more human computation nodes into the network. We are
nearing full human connectivity, and baring any hivemind esque developments we will be unlikely
to see any more leaps or bounds in the coming decades.
Also not to mention that the integrated circuit was basically an anomaly, for the most part very
little technology gets even a fraction of a percent better each year.
>Society changing ones are VR,
I seriously hope you meant AR. Modern "VR" is a dead end with very few if any real world
applications and only gimmick factor for most gaming.
> self-driving cars estimated to come out 2020
Try 2025-2030, with regulatory hurdles, as well as stringent safety testing, ethical dilemmas,
questions of liability, price for market adoption, and all that bullshit. I mean we already have
the basic tech required, hell have since the DARPA grand challenge, but it's doubtful you'll see
level 4/5 autonomy consumer marketed car on the road from a major manufacturer before 2025.

Looks like an embedded FLV.
I've always converted to .flv using ffmpeg and embedded that file inside a .swf using
http://eye.swfchan.com/services/swfh264/
That being said, it looks as though http://tools.swfchan.com/ is set to become the new standard
tool for that process. I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems to me like a slightly simpler and
more streamlined solution, especially if you don't have much experience with ffmpeg.

when I tried embedding .flv from swfh264 in flash then it doesn't accept that file or rather it
just shows a black screen

You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone
knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an
astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and
he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in
the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the
radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the
real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It
really puts life on Earth into perspective.
