It may not look like much...

But in 1900, it pushed the bounds of what was possible.

An interesting trailer, for those able to watch it, this series could be useful...

I started watching it and thought "why are they all gloomy? they just go to the Moon???" A few seconds later... "ohhhhh, that's why!!!" :rofl:

Sigh. 15 minutes of skipping through a video just to find out that it's not as cool as i thought.

Well, sure. He's only using three points of control, purely on/off throttle, etc. There's definitely room for improvement.

Watched "The Darkest Hour" again, and thought I'd change my mind.

Still a bit of an odd movie, Gary Oldman is remarkable as Churchill.

As is the actor for President Roosevelt in this.

Terrific stuff Mahdavi3d, I've followed BD since BigDog days and always thought they were a unique company.
Just goes to show you shouldn't trust anything you see on the telly!

Remember the volcanic eruption and lava river on the Big Island last year? Well, it buried a highway that's the only way in and out of a neighborhood.
They're now in the process of rebuilding it across the lava flow.

It's just surreal to think that, a year ago, that area was completely unapproachable... and now they're building a highway across it.
