Youtube daily report Mar 14 2017

Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News!

I'm Oli Davis.

I'm going to be replying to the Top 20 comments an hour after this video goes live - so upvote

away.

Finn Balor made his WWE return on Friday night's house show, wrestled again on Saturday and

- according to PWInsider - was even backstage for last night's episode of Raw.

So where was he?

Going by Balor's Twitter, he was at home looking for Raw on TV.

I don't know why he needs two remote controls for that.

Maybe even Demon Kings don't know how to configure the TV's volume.

Balor has now been fully medically cleared to return to the ring after six months out,

but still hasn't returned on Raw.

Seth Rollins, however, ran down on last night's episode, delivering a few jumping kicks and

taking multiple bumps despite injuring his right knee only six weeks ago.

Seth saved Mick Foley from being beaten up by Triple H, debuting his new Kingslayer t-shirt.

TAKE IT.

TAKE IT ALL.

TAKE MY MONEY NOW.

Initially he hobbled down to the ring using a crutch, but then threw it aside, beat up

Triple H, and then took a few shots to the leg when Hunter got the upper hand.

Pro Wrestling Sheet are reporting that Rollins was recently medically cleared by doctors

- but with restrictions.

This means he can perform "base work" but he still isn't allowed to wrestle a

full match just yet, and "The Architect's status for WrestleMania 33 is still up in

the air."

WWE have been reluctant to officially announce Triple H vs Seth Rollins for their biggest

show of the year so far.

Despite Rollins getting physical last night, this doesn't mean he's definitely a lock

for April 2nd.

It's Patreon shout out time!

And I'm going to be giving those who've donated $10 a month or more their WrestleTalk

Hall of Fame ring right here on the News.

So thank you very much Dr Fantastic Marc Johnson, Damaged Dan Schaeffer and John Wick: Chapter

2.

But with Balor and Rollins making their WWE returns, the injury equilibrium has unfortunately

restored itself.

Pro Wrestling Sheet have revealed that Raw roster member and top 205 Live wrestler Cedric

Alexander will be out for the next few months after injuring his right knee.

The current estimate for recovery is 3-5 months, putting his return in the summer - meaning

he'll miss his first Wrestlemania.

Alexander was part of the excellent number 1 contender's five way elimination match on

205 Live last month.

This means he won't be around to help steal the show once again in tonight's fatal 5

way number one contenders match on 205 Live, this time to face Neville at Wrestlemania.

If last month's match is anything to go by, go out of your way to watch this.

Verifying reports yesterday that Rusev will be taking time off, WWE officials have now

confirmed to F4WOnline that the Bulgarian Brute had shoulder surgery last week.

This presumably also rules him out of WWE's biggest show of the year.

And two weeks after Jack Swagger revealed he'd asked for his WWE release, the company

website have finally put out their standard copy and paste goodbye:

"WWE has come to terms on the release of Jack Swagger.

WWE wishes Swagger the best in all his future endeavors."

Considering Swagger's former Real Americans manager Zeb Colter is now running creative

in TNA, you'd think he'll be turning up there once his 90 day no compete clause is

up.

But before you say 'what's Swack Jagger doing in the Impact Zone!' let's take

a look at the legal stuff.

Wrestling statistician Chris Harrington has pointed out on Twitter that WWE never managed

to trademark the name Jack Swagger because it already belongs to a musician in Minnesota.

This means WWE wouldn't be able to stop him from using that name elsewhere.

And presumably, because Jack Swagger has been called Jack Swagger since 2008, the musician

doesn't care enough to stop him either.

Want an even more confusing wrestling story about trademark names?

Then check out the fascinating legal battle between Matt Hardy and TNA Impact Wrestling

over who actually owns the 'Broken' gimmick.

And it looks like Chris Jericho is also leaving WWE in the near future.

New York City Sightseeing Montage! | Kate's Adventures - Duration: 5:23.

Good morning folks! It's another beautiful day in New York.

Probably cold again, but in terms of sunniness it's looking very bright.

Here's my view out the window, whoa! There you go, that's how bright it is.

The camera took a minute to adjust there.

We're gonna get outside now and take another bus tour, as you can probably see I've washed my hair.

And we've already had breakfast which was very nice

and now it's time to get out and explore this beautiful city.

It is so so cold here. Honestly really cold

but the back of the bus is the best place to take photos and things

because it's not covered. Oh man...

[ELECTRONIC MUSIC]

[BARISTA CALLING OUT ORDER]

We're just trying to warm up again after a very very cold tour,

so we're in Starbucks right now. Just gonna have a drink

and then get out again and see more of New York.

Okay it's time for a Downtown tour now

and we're feeling like we need a bit more comfort in our lives

so we're sitting under the covered bit at the moment

which should hopefully help us warm up just a little.

It is gonna mean that like the pictures and videos maybe didn't look as cool

as at the back of the bus, but please please don't make me go to the back of the bus again.

Maybe in a couple of hours but just now I'm gonna try and warm up a bit.

[ELECTRONIC MUSIC]

Well after a busy day of touring New York City and everything it has to offer,

we're back at the hotel just now. We've got tickets to a Broadway show later,

"Kinky Boots". It's the first time I've been to Broadway for obvious reasons,

I've never been to New York so why would I have been to Broadway? Um.

But yeah we're just kind of having a bit of some chill time

and then we're going to go out to eat eventually.

Hi folks! It's about eleven o'clock at night,

as you can hear my voice is incredibly croaky.

That's just me trying to be quiet, it must be like the tone it's going for

because it doesn't sound like this all the time.

Anyways, before the show we went out

and went to a kinda diner type place. We got some pizza,

I had a cannoli and some lemonade, very nice.

And then we went to see "Kinky Boots",

which was a really really good show, I'd totally recommend it to anybody.

Really very enjoyable. So anyways I'm gonna stop talking now

because it really sounds like I shouldn't be talking

and I'm going to bed so goodnight everybody.

Tomorrow we'll probably be exploring New York City a bit more.

Hopping off the bus this time and seeing some of the places that we want to see.

And I'm looking forward to it. So goodnight everybody and thank you for watching.

What's on the Surface of Venus? - Duration: 13:08.

We're always talking about Mars here on the Guide to Space.

And with good reason.

Mars is awesome, and there's a fleet of spacecraft orbiting, probing and crawling

around the surface of Mars.

The Red Planet is the focus of so much of our attention because it's reasonably close

and offers humanity a viable place for a second home.

Well, not exactly viable, but with the right technology and techniques, we might be able

to make a sustainable civilization there.

We have the surface of Mars mapped in great detail, and we know what it looks like from

the surface.

But there's another planet we need to keep in mind.

Venus.

It's bigger, and closer than Mars.

And sure, it's a hellish deathscape that would kill you in moments if you ever set

foot on it, but it's still pretty interesting and mysterious to visit.

Would it surprise you to know that many spacecraft have actually made it down to the surface

of Venus, and photographed the place from the ground?

It was an amazing feat of Soviet engineering, and there are some new technologies in the

works that might help us get back, and explore it longer.

Today, let's talk about the Soviet Venera program.

The first time humanity saw Venus from its surface.

Back in the 60s, in the height of the cold war, the Americans and the Soviets were racing

to be the first to explore the Solar System.

First satellite to orbit Earth (Soviets), first human to orbit Earth (Soviets), first

flyby and landing on the Moon (Soviets), first flyby of Mars (Americans), first flyby of

Venus (Americans), etc.

The Soviets set their sights on putting a lander down on the surface of Venus.

But as we know, this planet has some unique challenges.

Every place on the entire planet measures the same 462 degrees C (or 864 F).

Furthermore, the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is 90 times greater than

Earth.

Being down at the bottom of that column of atmosphere is the same as being beneath a

kilometer of ocean on Earth.

Remember those submarine movies where they dive too deep and get crushed like a soda

can?

Finally, it rains sulphuric acid.

I mean, that's really irritating.

Needless to say, figuring this out took the Soviets a few tries.

Their first attempts to even flyby Venus was Venera 1, on February 4, 1961.

But it failed to even escape Earth orbit.

This was followed by Venera 2, launched on November 12, 1965, but it went off course

just after launch.

Venera 3 blasted off on November 16, 1965, and was intended to land on the surface of

Venus.

The Soviets lost communication with the spacecraft, but it's believed it did actually crashland

on Venus.

So I guess that was the first successful "landing" on Venus?

Before I continue, I'd like to talk a little bit about landing on planets.

As we've discussed in the past, landing on Mars is really really hard.

The atmosphere is thick enough that spacecraft will burn up if you aim directly for the surface,

but it's not thick enough to let you use parachutes to gently land on the surface.

Landing on the surface of Venus on the other hand, is super easy.

The atmosphere is so thick that you can use parachutes no problem.

If you can get on target and deploy a parachute capable of handling the terrible environment,

your soft landing is pretty much assured.

Surviving down there is another story, but we'll get to that.

Venera 4 came next, launched on June 12, 1967.

The Soviet scientists had few clues about what the surface of Venus was actually like.

They didn't know the atmospheric pressure, guessing it might be a little higher pressure

than Earth, or maybe it was hundreds of times our pressure.

It was tested with high temperatures, and brutal deceleration.

They thought they'd built this thing plenty tough.

Venera 4 arrived at Venus on October 18, 1967, and tried to survive a landing.

Temperatures on its heat shield were clocked at 11,000 C, and it experienced 300 Gs of

deceleration.

The initial temperature 52 km was a nice 33C, but then as it descended down towards the

surface, temperatures increased to 262 C. And then, they lost contact with the probe,

killed dead by the horrible temperature.

We can assume it landed, though, and for the first time, scientists caught a glimpse of

just how bad it is down there on the surface of Venus.

Venera 5 was launched on January 5, 1969, and was built tougher, learning from the lessons

of Venera 4.

It also made it into Venus' atmosphere, returned some interested science about the

planet and then died before it reached the surface.

Venera 6 followed, same deal.

Built tougher, died in the atmosphere, returned some useful science.

Venera 7 was built with a full understanding of how bad it was down there on Venus.

It launched on August 17, 1970, and arrived in December.

It's believed that the parachutes on the spacecraft only partially deployed, allowing

it to descend more quickly through the Venusian atmosphere than originally planned.

It smacked into the surface going about 16.5 m/s, but amazingly, it survived, and continued

to send back a weak signal to Earth for about 23 minutes.

For the first time ever, a spacecraft had made it down to the surface of Venus and communicated

its status.

I'm sure it was just 23 minutes of robotic screaming, but still, progress.

Scientists got their first accurate measurement of the temperatures, and pressure down there.

Bottom line, humans could never survive on the surface of Venus.

Venera 8 blasted off for Venus on March 17, 1972, and the Soviet engineers built it to

survive the descent and landing as long as possible.

It made it through the atmosphere, landed on the surface, and returned data for about

50 minutes.

It didn't have a camera, but it did have a light sensor, which told scientists being

on Venus was kind of like Earth on an overcast day.

Enough light to take pictures…

next time.

For their next missions, the Soviets went back to the drawing board and built entirely

new landing craft.

Built big, heavy and tough, designed to get to the surface of Venus and survive long enough

to send back data and pictures.

Venera 9 was launched on June 8, 1975.

It survived the atmospheric descent and landed on the surface of Venus.

The lander was built like a liquid cooled reverse insulated pressure vessel, using circulating

fluid to keep the electronics cooled as long as possible.

In this case, that was 53 minutes.

Venera 9 measured clouds of acid, bromine and other toxic chemicals, and sent back grainy

black and white television pictures from the surface of Venus.

In fact, these were the first pictures ever taken from the surface of another planet.

Venera 10 lasted for 65 minutes and took pictures of the surface with one camera.

The lens cap on a second camera didn't release.

The spacecraft saw lava rocks with layers of other rocks in between.

Similar environments that you might see here on Earth.

Venera 11 was launched on September 9, 1975 and lasted for 95 minutes on the surface of

Venus.

In addition to confirming the horrible environment discovered by the other landers, Venera 11

detected lightning strikes in the vicinity.

It was equipped with a color camera, but again, the lens cap failed to deploy for it or the

black and white camera.

So it failed to send any pictures home.

Venera 12 was launched on September 14, 1978, and made it down to the surface of Venus.

It lasted 110 minutes and returned detailed information about the chemical composition

of the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, both its camera lens caps failed to deploy, so no pictures were returned.

And pictures are what we really care about, right?

Venera 13 was built on the same tougher, beefier design, and was blasted off to Venus on October

30, 1981, and this one was a tremendous success.

It landed on Venus and survived for 127 minutes.

It took pictures of its surroundings using two cameras peering through quartz windows,

and saw a landscape of bedrock.

It used spring-loaded arms to test out how compressible the soil was.

Venera 14 was identical and launched just 5 days after Venera 13.

It also landed and survived for 57 minutes.

Unfortunately, its experiment to test the compressibility of the soil was a botch because

one of its lens caps landed right under its spring-loaded arm.

But apart from that, it sent back color pictures of the hellish landscape.

And with that, the Soviet Venus landing program ended.

And since then, no additional spacecraft have ever returned to the surface of Venus.

In a second, I'm going to tell you about an exciting new advancement that might make

an actual rover a possibility on Venus but first, I'd like to thank Arch Lundy, Mike

Bradfield, Michael Atkinson, Christopher McCoy, Patrick Kohn, and the rest of our 690 patrons

for their generous support.

If you love what we're doing and want to help out, head over to patreon.com/universetoday.

Once again, this episode of the Guide to Space is sponsored by the .space domain name.

Back in the olden days, when I founded Universe Today, we had limited domain name options.

In fact, I based the name of my entire company on a domain name that was available, and that

was 18 years ago.

It's so much worse today.

Well, those dark days are over, and now you can get a domain name that matches your interests,

at a reasonable price.

Like .space.

Go to www.launch.space, use the offer code GUIDETOSPACE, and you can get your own .space

domain for only $2.99 instead of the usual $9.99.

Thanks again to .space for sponsoring this episode, now, back to the show.

It's one thing for a lander to make it to the surface of Venus, last a few minutes and

then die from the horrible environment.

What we really want is some kind of rover, like Curiosity, which would last on the surface

of Venus for weeks, months or even years and do more science.

And computers don't like this kind of heat.

Go ahead, put your computer in the oven and set it to 850.

Oh, your oven doesn't go to 850, that's fine, because it would be insane.

Seriously, don't do that, it would be bad.

Engineers at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a new kind of electrical circuitry

that might be able to handle those kinds of temperatures.

Their new circuits were tested in the Glenn Extreme Environments Rig, which can simulate

the surface of Venus.

It can mimic the temperature, pressure and even the chemistry of Venus' atmosphere.

The circuitry, originally designed for hot jet engines, lasted for 521 hours, functioning

perfectly.

If all goes well, future Venus rovers could be developed to survive on the surface of

Venus without needing the complex and short lived cooling systems.

This discovery might unleash a whole new era of exploration of Venus, to confirm once and

for all that it really does suck.

While the Soviets had a tough time with Mars, they really nailed it with Venus.

You can see how they built and launched spacecraft after spacecraft, sticking with this challenge

until they got the pictures and data they were looking for.

I really think this series is one of the triumphs of robotic space exploration, and I look forward

to future mission concepts to pick up where the Soviets left off.

Are you excited about the prospects of exploring Venus with rovers?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Have you heard the news that we might actually be living in a hologram?

What does that even mean?

In our next episode, I'll try to explain the holographic Universe, and what that actually

means for us.

I might bring in a special guest.

It's one thing to explore Venus, but another thing to be able to actually live there.

Here's a video that explains what it might take to terraform Venus into a place that

sucks less.

on Venus.

So I guess that was the first successful "landing" on Venus?

Before I continue, I'd like to talk a little bit about landing on planets.

As we've discussed in the past, landing on Mars is really really hard.

The atmosphere is thick enough that spacecraft will burn up if you aim directly for the surface,

but it's not thick enough to let you use parachutes to gently land on the surface.

Landing on the surface of Venus on the other hand, is super easy.

The atmosphere is so thick that you can use parachutes no problem.

If you can get on target and deploy a parachute capable of handling the terrible environment,

your soft landing is pretty much assured.

Surviving down there is another story, but we'll get to that.

Venera 4 came next, launched on June 12, 1967.

The Soviet scientists had few clues about what the surface of Venus was actually like.

They didn't know the atmospheric pressure, guessing it might be a little higher pressure

than Earth, or maybe it was hundreds of times our pressure.

It was tested with high temperatures, and brutal deceleration.

They thought they'd built this thing plenty tough.

Venera 4 arrived at Venus on October 18, 1967, and tried to survive a landing.

Temperatures on its heat shield were clocked at 11,000 C, and it experienced 300 Gs of

deceleration.

The initial temperature 52 km was a nice 33C, but then as it descended down towards the

surface, temperatures increased to 262 C. And then, they lost contact with the probe,

killed dead by the horrible temperature.

We can assume it landed, though, and for the first time, scientists caught a glimpse of

just how bad it is down there on the surface of Venus.

Venera 5 was launched on January 5, 1969, and was built tougher, learning from the lessons

of Venera 4.

It also made it into Venus' atmosphere, returned some interested science about the

planet and then died before it reached the surface.

Venera 6 followed, same deal.

Built tougher, died in the atmosphere, returned some useful science.

Venera 7 was built with a full understanding of how bad it was down there on Venus.

It launched on August 17, 1970, and arrived in December.

It's believed that the parachutes on the spacecraft only partially deployed, allowing

it to descend more quickly through the Venusian atmosphere than originally planned.

It smacked into the surface going about 16.5 m/s, but amazingly, it survived, and continued

to send back a weak signal to Earth for about 23 minutes.

For the first time ever, a spacecraft had made it down to the surface of Venus and communicated

its status.

I'm sure it was just 23 minutes of robotic screaming, but still, progress.

Scientists got their first accurate measurement of the temperatures, and pressure down there.

Bottom line, humans could never survive on the surface of Venus.

Venera 8 blasted off for Venus on March 17, 1972, and the Soviet engineers built it to

survive the descent and landing as long as possible.

It made it through the atmosphere, landed on the surface, and returned data for about

50 minutes.

It didn't have a camera, but it did have a light sensor, which told scientists being

on Venus was kind of like Earth on an overcast day.

Enough light to take pictures…

next time.

For their next missions, the Soviets went back to the drawing board and built entirely

new landing craft.

Built big, heavy and tough, designed to get to the surface of Venus and survive long enough

to send back data and pictures.

Venera 9 was launched on June 8, 1975.

It survived the atmospheric descent and landed on the surface of Venus.

The lander was built like a liquid cooled reverse insulated pressure vessel, using circulating

fluid to keep the electronics cooled as long as possible.

In this case, that was 53 minutes.

Venera 9 measured clouds of acid, bromine and other toxic chemicals, and sent back grainy

black and white television pictures from the surface of Venus.

In fact, these were the first pictures ever taken from the surface of another planet.

Venera 10 lasted for 65 minutes and took pictures of the surface with one camera.

The lens cap on a second camera didn't release.

The spacecraft saw lava rocks with layers of other rocks in between.

Similar environments that you might see here on Earth.

Venera 11 was launched on September 9, 1975 and lasted for 95 minutes on the surface of

Venus.

In addition to confirming the horrible environment discovered by the other landers, Venera 11

detected lightning strikes in the vicinity.

It was equipped with a color camera, but again, the lens cap failed to deploy for it or the

black and white camera.

So it failed to send any pictures home.

Venera 12 was launched on September 14, 1978, and made it down to the surface of Venus.

It lasted 110 minutes and returned detailed information about the chemical composition

of the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, both its camera lens caps failed to deploy, so no pictures were returned.

And pictures are what we really care about, right?

Venera 13 was built on the same tougher, beefier design, and was blasted off to Venus on October

30, 1981, and this one was a tremendous success.

It landed on Venus and survived for 127 minutes.

It took pictures of its surroundings using two cameras peering through quartz windows,

and saw a landscape of bedrock.

It used spring-loaded arms to test out how compressible the soil was.

Venera 14 was identical and launched just 5 days after Venera 13.

It also landed and survived for 57 minutes.

Unfortunately, its experiment to test the compressibility of the soil was a botch because

one of its lens caps landed right under its spring-loaded arm.

But apart from that, it sent back color pictures of the hellish landscape.

And with that, the Soviet Venus landing program ended.

And since then, no additional spacecraft have ever returned to the surface of Venus.

In a second, I'm going to tell you about an exciting new advancement that might make

an actual rover a possibility on Venus but first, I'd like to thank Arch Lundy, Mike

Bradfield, Michael Atkinson, Christopher McCoy, Patrick Kohn, and the rest of our 690 patrons

for their generous support.

Back in the olden days, when I founded Universe Today, we had limited domain name options.

In fact, I based the name of my entire company on a domain name that was available, and that

was 18 years ago.

It's so much worse today.

Well, those dark days are over, and now you can get a domain name that matches your interests,

at a reasonable price.

Like .space.

Go to www.launch.space, use the offer code GUIDETOSPACE, and you can get your own .space

domain for only $2.99 instead of the usual $9.99.

Thanks again to .space for sponsoring this episode, now, back to the show.

It's one thing for a lander to make it to the surface of Venus, last a few minutes and

then die from the horrible environment.

What we really want is some kind of rover, like Curiosity, which would last on the surface

of Venus for weeks, months or even years and do more science.

And computers don't like this kind of heat.

Go ahead, put your computer in the oven and set it to 850.

Oh, your oven doesn't go to 850, that's fine, because it would be insane.

Seriously, don't do that, it would be bad.

Engineers at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a new kind of electrical circuitry

that might be able to handle those kinds of temperatures.

Their new circuits were tested in the Glenn Extreme Environments Rig, which can simulate

the surface of Venus.

It can mimic the temperature, pressure and even the chemistry of Venus' atmosphere.

The circuitry, originally designed for hot jet engines, lasted for 521 hours, functioning

perfectly.

If all goes well, future Venus rovers could be developed to survive on the surface of

Venus without needing the complex and short lived cooling systems.

This discovery might unleash a whole new era of exploration of Venus, to confirm once and

for all that it really does suck.

While the Soviets had a tough time with Mars, they really nailed it with Venus.

You can see how they built and launched spacecraft after spacecraft, sticking with this challenge

until they got the pictures and data they were looking for.

I really think this series is one of the triumphs of robotic space exploration, and I look forward

to future mission concepts to pick up where the Soviets left off.

Are you excited about the prospects of exploring Venus with rovers?

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Have you heard the news that we might actually be living in a hologram?

What does that even mean?

In our next episode, I'll try to explain the holographic Universe, and what that actually

means for us.

I might bring in a special guest.

It's one thing to explore Venus, but another thing to be able to actually live there.

Here's a video that explains what it might take to terraform Venus into a place that

sucks less.
