Walking tour of the R/P FLIP. I always thought it was a nice illustration of what spaceships under thrust vs. coasting (or spinning rings when not under thrust) might look like on the inside. Given that the ship in the vid is now >60 years old, it's a bit grungier than stricly needed, but still fascinating.

    @rich @mykie @flockofnazguls I'm not a console gamer, but I suspect the various startup sounds (and logos) of those served a similar ritual.

    @nyrath I had a random thought today: HS: Shipbreaker is kinda the opposite of Kerbal, and yet, both contain plenty of unintentionally exploded ships.

    @jacqueline I have a personal and entirely subjective dislike for ligatures. Can they be disabled even if the font(s) in use support them?

    @nyrath One of the great things about many of these reactions/compounds is that the enterprising SF writer can use them as traps, since a spacestation or somesuch can have a supply of them, nice and calm at 1K, and then adventurous salvagers show up and turn on the heat.
