Aluminum OxideA rare and foreshadowing footage inside the last mission of Space Shuttle Columbia, recorded on Jan 18-30 2003, before its fateful re-entry and breakup over Texas and Lousiana on Feb 1 2003.
This rare inside footage was compiled from various Space Shuttle videos from the depths of the NASA internet archives. Audio and video quality was enhanced, but due to unavoidable audio damages caused to the footage by re-entry heat, the audio in some sections may mute several times.
Its amazing that these footages survided the intense heat of re-entry, as they were contained in heat-resistant containers.
This video was made in an effort to reflect on the mission highlights, and the rememberance of the Crew.

#columbia #spaceshuttle #sts107Incredible Steel Mill Drone Movie [8K]Aluminum Oxide2024-05-14 | An incredible drone movie inside and outside of @TataSteelEurope Netherlands steel mill, showcasing steelmaking from iron ore to finished product. Sidenote - the source video had crappy music in it so I replaced it with much better and more appropriate soundtrack - an '80s theme that fits so well.
#steelmill #drone #80smusicVisiting Port Talbot Steelworks — a complete steel mill B-rollAluminum Oxide2024-04-14 | My incredible visit to the @tatasteeluk5930 Port Talbot steel mill in Wales. I was invited to document the plant as part of my British Steel illustrated encyclopedia, and I took over 1000 images and 200 video clips. I've assembled the best ones in this unedited and mesmerizing B-roll movie with the pure industrial ambience of the plant (no music added). Me and my buddy from University drove 3.5 hours from Hatfield to Port Talbot early in the morning of March 28th 2024, and spent nine hours at the mill. Nearly two years ago, @AlecSteele visited the mill in late 2022. Now I've had the chance to visit before the plant restructures its furnaces with an EAF in 2027.

#steelmill #howitsmade #manufacturingThe most intricate virtual reality project on the WTC Twin Towers - previewAluminum Oxide2024-04-04 | Have you ever wanted to experience the good old World Trade Center in virtual reality? One with superb, intricate detail that’s fully accurate in every aspect, and all without simulations of that dreadful demise? That dream is soon becoming a reality...
There is one man who lives in Chilé who is working on a magnificent, highly detailed project to recreate the original WTC Twin Towers and complex in the 3D CAD software Blender and Unreal Engine. He’s been working on it since April 2023. His portfolio page is on Instagram, under the name “WTC rebuilt”. Supplied with the original blueprints and thousands of images and resources from fans and enthusiasts within the Twin Towers nostalgia community, the WTC rebuilt project is aimed to be a virtual reality experience of the entire complex in all its beauty, both inside and out. To ensure this masterpiece reaches fruition, he regularly backs-up all his files.
As new rare pictures and diagrams surface within the community, the project gets regular updates and tweaks to increase coverage and accuracy. If you have rare twin towers photo material that you like to share and contribute, give him a follow to further expand and improve the magnificence of this project. Now let’s enjoy his progress so far with this elegant slideshow.

#HotelPools #HydralicPress #MachineryBarry White — Just the way you are (Space Shuttle tribute music video)Aluminum Oxide2020-09-08 | The space shuttle is by far my most favorite rocket system ever. Despite some say that it's a deadly machine or that it failed to achieve its original goal to make spaceflight easily reusuable, it has gone down in history as one of the most unique, most iconic and remarkable feats of space engineering. Flying for over thirty years, it has carried hundreds of astronauts on 135 missions, conducted science experiments, deployed lots of satellites, and carried modules to construct the International Space Station.
The shuttle flew so often that many people did not recall a moment when a shuttle was not flying. Some of the managers of the program took it for granted before STS-51L (the Challenger disaster); but the people who worked on it directly — the engineers and astronauts - all gave it the respect and attention it deserved, even if it means fighting for it. Its only after the program was concluded when more started to care about its history.
The design of the space shuttle (in my opinion) is wonderful just as it is - a sleek, compact and iconic spaceplane that has endured ups and downs throughout its history, but still remains strong. The first two missions had the external tank painted white, but later flights left it in its natural orange color.
This video is dedicated to the talented engineers, astronauts and workers who worked on the Space Transportation System program, and still to this day reflect on the best moments between the years 1981-2011.
Featured are rare high quality footage from external sources and beautifully enhanced pictures.

#Stellardrone #InternationalSpaceStation #SpaceMusicWhy You Need a Launch Escape System!Aluminum Oxide2019-09-30 | A launch escape system is a rocket booster attached to the command module of all Russian rockets (and the Apollo Command Module and the future Space Launch System). In the case of an emergency such as an explosion, this system can 'eject' the command pod containing the astronauts away from the exploding rocket, to a safe and high enough altitude for parachutes to deploy.
In this mission, four kerbals are about to blast off to space, bound for the Skylab Workshop Station; launching aboard an experimental 'Soyuz-Atlantis' rocket system. However things don't go according to plan: an anomaly occurs during liftoff.
#soyuz #launchfailure #launchescapesystemThe Space Station Processing FacilityAluminum Oxide2019-09-21 | A musical tribute to my favorite building at Kennedy Space Center:
The Space Station Processing Facility (SSPF) is a large 457,000 sq ft industrial building at the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Constructed in 1991 and opened in 1994, the SSPF was designed to manufacture and process 95% of all the modular and structural components for the International Space Station, which are made from stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and Kevlar.
Today it's used to fabricate and process modules, cargo and spacecraft for the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, the Dream-Chaser 'mini space shuttle' and Cygnus cargo vehicles.
The interior is very beautiful, and impressively clean and spotless. Lights inside the processing bays are usually brilliant white, but often change hues into purple, or sometimes golden yellow.
A quarter century since it's opening, the SSPF never loses its shine.

A world-renowned space engineering assistant: Clare Kerman, is serving another long term expedition in space aboard Skylab II. Her birthday is coming up on May 4, and will be her first birthday in space in her career. However her spouse - Phillip Kerman, is not an astronaut and desperately wants to travel up there to reunite and celebrate.
Not wanting to miss this rare opportunity, he not only wants the event to be extra special, but also to make history by holding the first ever party in space aboard the space station. With help from the legendary space architect Raphael J. Chryslar (who build Skylab II), and Administrator Gene Kranz; they scramble a last minute launch to send Phillip and three other crew members up to the station, in narrow time for the party!

The 'kerbalized' language was inspired by cinematic movies made by famous KSP YouTuber Matt Lowne. Check an example here: youtube.com/watch?v=bq3POrzfK2w&t=1851s
Real NASA acronyms were used in the Launch and Mission control scenes. You can find out info about what they mean here:

Some of the kerbal vocal only in the launch scenes are in the normal format (such as the countdown and booster sep), as they don't sound right in the "kerbalized" form.

Kerbal morale and station life is very high, with all the amenities of home and office in space:
Skylab II is equipped with state-of-the-art computers (with video games), lots of bookshelves with space books, delicious restaurant quality food like pizza and burgers, comfortable chairs and sofa lounge with big screen plasma TV, microwave ovens, cool science desk and cozy communal dining area and sleeping quarters. A vast cupola module, with two smaller observation modules give Kerbals a wonderful view of Earth from 270 miles above. Kerbals usually spend 1-3 years living on this station.
Until recently, a new solar array truss and extra habitation and science modules were added to Skylab II on various rockets, mostly to resolve the issues of power failures on the station!
