[♪ INTRO]
A lot of our ideas about the future come from popular works of science fiction,
like how the Star Trek communicators of the 1960s became the cell phones of the '90s.
But go back to the 1800s and some of the most important stories about space travel
had nothing to do with rockets, like you'd think they should.
Instead, authors like Jules Verne and H. G. Wells
thought we'd get things into space with… guns. Really big guns.
If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
Things need to go very fast to reach space, and bullets are very fast. So, voila!
Unfortunately... the physics don't really work that way.
But that definitely hasn't stopped us from trying to build space guns of our own.
Obviously, guns differ from rockets in a bunch of important ways.
They're an example of what's called ballistic flight, which means that, once a projectile's launched,
only external forces like gravity and drag can affect its trajectory.
Guns are an advanced form of creating ballistic flight, but the basic idea goes back to the days
of things like trebuchets and, you know, just, like, throwing rocks.
All of that is different than something like a rocket, which can be steered in flight.
What guns have going for them, though, is simplicity.
We've been using the same basic design for hundreds of years and,
by now, we understand pretty well how to build something efficient and reliable.
They're also pretty cheap, since you get to reuse the barrel and just replace the propellant,
like gunpowder, after each shot.
Still, guns do have some major downsides as a launch tool.
To get to space, you need to go really, really fast,
and the payload in a gun just gets one shove to get it going that quickly.
So the acceleration experienced is incredible.
We're talking about thousands of times more g forces,
or thousands of times the regular force of Earth's gravity, than when riding on a rocket.
Which is not great if you're an astronaut who suddenly doesn't have a skeleton.
Reaching those speeds so quickly also really heats things up,
meaning your payload needs to be basically fireproof.
The real kicker, though, is all the pesky physics.
At the end of the day, it's actually impossible to fire something from the surface
directly into orbit around the Earth.
See, you can think of an orbit like a closed loop around the planet.
If you fire a projectile from the surface, that loop is guaranteed to intersect the Earth,
meaning your projectile will crash into the ground.
Meanwhile, after a rocket launches, it fires its engines to creates a new loop,
and an orbit, that doesn't intersect with the surface.
Because they don't have a propulsion system of their own,
ballistic projectiles just can't do that.
Of course, none of this has actually stopped us from building enormous guns to try it out.
Because, pff, who needs science?
In the 1960s, Project Harp, or the High Altitude Research Program,
was our first attempt to reach space with a gun.
The U.S. military was racing to improve early intercontinental ballistic missiles,
and they needed a cost-effective way to test how designs reentered the atmosphere.
With Project HARP, they aimed to reuse the leftover barrels of battleship cannons
to launch payloads high into the sky.
These massive guns were eventually built in Arizona and Barbados,
and they were used to fire more than 200 payloads, each weighing about 180 kilograms.
At peak efficiency, a HARP gun launched one of these objects at more than 2100 meters per second,
fast enough to reach an altitude of about 180 kilometers.
That's about the same height as Alan Shepard's historic Mercury mission
and is definitely into space.
But that gun also had a heck of a kick.
The payload experienced around 25,000 g's at launch,
so its electronics had to be encased in solid plastic blocks to avoid breaking apart.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a sustainable idea,
but these guns did help us study the Earth's upper atmosphere, so it wasn't a complete waste.
Some tests released objects that left smoke trails and
that helped scientists track the movement of high-altitude air currents.
After that, the space gun idea was continued in California in the '80s
with Project SHARP, or Super HARP.
The regular HARP guns used gunpowder, but Project SHARP was a light gas gun,
meaning it propelled objects using hydrogen compressed by a piston.
Its goal was to launch small projectiles into space, for real this time,
but the projectiles only got about a quarter of the velocity they needed.
Still, that was good enough for them to plan the final version,
which would've had a barrel about 3.5 kilometers long.
Unfortunately, the planned gun cost more than a billion dollars and was never approved.
And, although some companies have tried to resurrect the idea over the years,
we never really got serious about trying again.
With enough money, determination, and propulsion systems,
maybe someday we could build a functioning space gun.
But all told, ballistic flight just hasn't proven to be an effective way to get to space,
and its opportunity might be gone forever.
The great promise of a space gun has always been that it launches things cheaply,
but with the advent of reusable rockets like SpaceX's Falcon 9, even that advantage is disappearing.
Modern rockets can carry more stuff, do more kinds of missions,
and offer a gentle ride to space, all without breaking the bank.
So space guns might be out. But hey, we'll never stop shooting for the stars.
Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow Space!
Over the years, people have thought up all kinds of wacky ways to get to outer space,
including space guns and even giant elevators.
And believe it or not, we've looked at the science behind that one, too.
You can learn all about space elevators, and whether they'd work,
over at the main SciShow channel.

TOP 15 Surprising Ways Pro Wrestling Evolved In 2017 - [Facts Wrack] - Duration: 19:52.
15. THE RISE OF PRE-TAPED MATCHES AND VIDEO TRICKERY.
WITH THE PRESUMED RETIREMENT OF THE UNDERTAKER AT WRESTLEMANIA 33, IT LOOKED LIKE 2017 COULD
BE THE YEAR WWE CROWNED ITS NEW FACE OF FEAR. THAT THE COMPANY WOULD CHOOSE BRAY WYATT TO
TAKE THE DEAD MAN'S PLACE MAKE PERFECT SENSE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WAY THEY TRIED TO
GO ABOUT MAKING THE TRANSITION KILLED ANY CHANCE OF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING. THE PROBLEM
IS THAT IN MANUFACTURING WYATT'S RISE, WWE RELIED FAR TOO HEAVILY ON RIDICULOUS CAMERA
TRICKS AND PRE-TAPED NONSENSE RATHER THAN ACTUAL POWER AND INTIMIDATION. SUPERNATURAL
GOOFINESS WAS ALWAYS A LOW KEY PART OF WYATT AND HIS FAMILY'S APPEAL, YET WWE SERIOUSLY
MANAGED TO JUMP THE SHARK WHEN GOING ALL IN ON THE IDEA. DESPITE FANS LARGELY REJECTING
WYATT'S MAGIC MOMENTS, SPECIFICALLY HIS MATCHES WITH RANDY ORTON, FROM A TECHNICAL
STANDPOINT, THEY DID THINGS WWE HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE. HOPEFULLY, THEY'LL EITHER GET
WAY BETTER AT IT REALLY SOON, OR NEVER DO IT AGAIN.
14. NEW JAPAN TOOK CENTER STAGE. IT MAY BE A SURPRISE FOR AMERICAN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT
FANS TO LEARN NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1972. ESPECIALLY TO PEOPLE
WHO ONLY WATCH WWE, IT PROBABLY FEELS LIKE NJPW HAS ACTUALLY ONLY EXISTED FOR A DECADE
OR SO AT MOST, STARTING WHEN BROCK LESNAR REIGNED AS IWGP CHAMPION, THE ONLY ELEMENT
OF THE JAPANESE ORGANIZATION THEY OFFICIALLY ACKNOWLEDGE. THAT PERCEPTION MAY START TO
CHANGE, THOUGH, BECAUSE WHILE NJPW HAS INDEED OPERATED MUCH LONGER THAN FANS MAY NOTICE,
IN 2017, IT'S BIGGER THAN EVER. THE RISE OF NJPW IS RELATED TO A FEW KEY FACTORS, INCLUDING
A STREAMING SERVICE CALLED NJPW WORLD, A WEEKLY TV SHOW ON AXS, AND AN EXTREMELY CHARISMATIC
AMERICAN STAR NAMED KENNY OMEGA. IT ALSO DOESN'T HURT THAT FORMER WWE SUPERSTAR CHRIS JERICHO
VOLUNTARILY LEFT THE STATES FOR A HIGH PROFILE PROGRAM OVERSEAS. NOWADAYS, THERE ARE EVEN
SOME AMERICAN FANS WHO USED TO BE WWE EXCLUSIVE WHO THINK NJPW ARE THE TRUE WORLD LEADERS
IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, AND THAT SHIFT WILL LIKELY ONLY CONTINUE.
13. EX WWE STARS SEE MONEY ON THE ROAD. ASIDE FROM A FEW SHORT YEARS WHEN ERIC BISCHOFF
HAD UNLIMITED ACCESS TO TED TURNER'S BANK ACCOUNT, EMPLOYMENT WITH WWE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
THE GOAL FOR ANY WRESTLER WHO GOT INTO THE BUSINESS FOR FINANCIAL REASONS. VINCE MCMAHON
HAS MORE MONEY THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE BUSINESS AND HE HAS NO PROBLEM SHARING SIGNIFICANT
CHUNKS OF HIS FORTUNE WITH WRESTLERS HE DEEMS WORTHY. HOWEVER, WHAT SOME AUDIENCES MAY NOT
REALIZE IS THAT WWE SUPERSTARS WHO AREN'T IN THE MAIN EVENT DON'T ALWAYS GET COMPENSATED
FOR THEIR TALENTS FAIRLY. RECENTLY, SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN SPEAKING UP ABOUT THE SITUATION,
AND IN 2017, AT LEAST TWO SUPERSTARS CONFIRMED THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY ON THE ROAD THAN
THEY DID WORKING FOR MCMAHON. CODY RHODES IS ACHIEVING GREATER SUCCESS THAN EVER BEFORE
ON THE INDY SCENE, AND RYBACK, WHO LEFT WWE OVER MONEY REASONS, SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING HIS
STATUS AS THE BIG GUY IN VARIOUS SMALL PONDS. IF MORE WRESTLERS CONTINUE TO PAD THEIR BANK
ACCOUNTS OUTSIDE OF VINCE'S CONTROL, HE MIGHT START TO HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE NEAR
FUTURE. 12. LEGENDARY COMEBACKS TEACH US TO NEVER
SAY NEVER AGAIN. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES VINCE MCMAHON HARPED
ON THE FACT BACK IN THE 1990S, SOME WRESTLING FANS STILL DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE
AGE OLD ADAGE THAT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN THE WWE UNIVERSE. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY EVOLUTION
FOR THIS TO BE PROVEN ALL OVER AGAIN, YET 2017 WAS IN MANY RESPECTS A YEAR OF COMEBACKS
TAKING THE CENTER STAGE, SO PERHAPS IT BEARS REPEATING. FIRST OF ALL, MORE THAN 14 YEARS
AFTER HIS LATEST REIGN ON TOP, LEGENDARY WCW WRESTLER GOLDBERG CLIMBED BACK TO THE TOP
OF THE BUSINESS AS WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION. THEN, BARELY A MONTH LATER, THE OLYMPIC HERO
KURT ANGLE MADE HIS LONG AWAITED RETURN AFTER A DECADE WORKING FOR THE COMPETITION. BOTH
GOLDBERG AND ANGLE WERE WRESTLERS MOST FANS THOUGHT BURNED ALL THEIR BRIDGES AND COULD
NEVER MAKE A COMEBACK. THE FACT THEY DID IS FURTHER PROOF VINCE MCMAHON'S FEELINGS ON
PAST EMPLOYEES ARE ALWAYS EVOLVING, LIKE HIS COMPANY IN GENERAL.
11. THE NWA FOUND A NEW OWNER, TRIPPED LOOKING FOR NEW FOOTING.
HAVING EXISTED FOR SEVERAL DECADES PRIOR TO VINCE MCMAHON, SR. AND TOOTS MONDT CREATING
WHAT WOULD BECOME WWE, THE OLDEST WRESTLING COMPANY IN AMERICA IS STILL THE NWA. OF COURSE,
THE BRAND ISN'T QUITE WHAT IT USED TO BE, HAVING TAKEN A MASSIVE NOSEDIVE IN THE MID
'90. THE NWA HAS LARGELY FADED OUT OF RELEVANCE SINCE SPLITTING WITH TNA IN 2007, BUT THAT
MAY CHANGE SOMETIME SOON DUE TO THE FACT IT RECENTLY RECEIVED A NEW OWNER WITH SOME PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL RESOURCES. LEAD SINGER OF SMASHING PUMPKINS AND THUS A MULTIMILLIONAIRE
BILLY CORGAN AGREED TO PURCHASE THE COMPANY IN MAY, AND THE DECISION WAS MADE FINAL IN
OCTOBER. TRUTH BE TOLD, ALMOST NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR THE NWA SINCE CORGAN TOOK OVER,
BUT IT'S STILL VERY EARLY INTO HIS REIGN AS THE NEW BOSS. THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT
OF POSTURING, WITH NWA CHAMPION TIM STORM SHOWING UP ON VARIOUS INDEPENDENT PROMOTIONS
AGAINST THE TOP INDY STARS IN THE COUNTRY, AND IT'S EASY TO IMAGINE MORE IN THE NEAR
FUTURE. WHETHER OR NOT CORGAN ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, THOUGH, REMAINS A BIT OF
A MYSTERY. 10. TNA…NO, GFW…NO, IMPACT…OH, WHAT'S
IN A NAME?. SINCE JEFF AND JERRY JARRETT THREW THEIR HATS
INTO THE MAINSTREAM PRO WRESTLING BUSINESS BY FOUNDING NWA: TNA BACK IN 2002, THE COMPANY
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST MISMANAGED AND MOCKED IN THE INDUSTRY. WHILE TNA ISN'T ENTIRELY
WITHOUT ITS MERITS, ALMOST EVERY YEAR SEES IT MAKE AT LEAST ONE OR TWO OUTRAGEOUSLY EMBARRASSING
MISTAKES, IF NOT WAY, WAY MORE. 2017 MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE WORST EVER FOR TNA, AS IT
WAS THE YEAR THE COMPANY COULDN'T EVEN DECIDE ON ITS OWN GODDAMN NAME. UP UNTIL MARCH, THEY
WERE STILL TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION WRESTLING, A NAME THEY HAD BEEN USING IN SOME FORM SINCE
THE JARRETTS FOUNDED IT. IN MARCH, THEY DECIDED TO REBRAND AS IMPACT WRESTLING, FOR ALL OF
THREE MONTHS, AT WHICH POINT THEY SWITCHED IT UP TO GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING. ER, SCRATCH
THAT, BECAUSE ANOTHER THREE MONTHS LATER, THEY WERE BACK TO IMPACT. IS THIS TRULY EVOLUTION,
OR JUST SHUFFLING THE DECK ON THE TITANIC? QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S PROBABLY JUST THE LATTER,
OR WORSE, STRAIGHT UP DEVOLUTION. STILL A NOTEWORTHY CHANGE, THOUGH.
9. THE HARDYZ RULED INDY TAG TEAM WRESTLING. SUCH IS THE EVER CHANGING NATURE OF PRO WRESTLING
THAT EARLY IN 2017, SOMETHING HUGE WAS HAPPENING ON THE INDEPENDENT SCENE, ONLY FOR IT TO BECOME
ALMOST ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT DUE TO BIGGER NEWS IN WWE. BOTH STORIES CENTER ENTIRELY AROUND
THE HARDY BOYZ, WHO ARE YET ANOTHER SET OF LEGENDS IN THE MIDST OF AN INCREDIBLE AND
UNEXPECTED WWE COMEBACK. JUST BEFORE THEY MADE THEIR RETURN, THINGS MIGHT HAVE EVEN
BEEN BETTER FOR MATT AND JEFF ON THE INDEPENDENT SCENE—AT ONE POINT, THEY HELD SEVEN SEPARATE
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP. OF COURSE, THE REAL STORY ISN'T JUST THE HARDYZ INVOLVEMENT,
BUT RATHER THE FACT THIS WAS A SIGN VIRTUALLY ALL INDY PROMOTIONS IN THE WORLD WERE HAPPY
TO WORK TOGETHER AND PROMOTE ONE ANOTHER IN A VERY VISIBLE WAY. EACH TIME THE HARDYZ SHOWED
UP AND WON A NEW BELT, FANS OF THE LAST PROMOTION THEY WORKED FOR LEARNED OF A NEW ONE THEY
COULD ALSO CHECK OUT, BRINGING NEW AUDIENCES ALL AROUND THE INDEPENDENT WORLD.
8. WRESTLERS FINALLY STARTED TO BE STARS. IN CONTRAST TO THE CONSTANT FIGHTING AND VIOLENCE
THAT APPEARS ON ITS PROGRAMMING, WWE HAS LONG SUPPORTED AND CHAMPIONED WHAT THEY CALL THE
BE A STAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST BULLYING. HOWEVER, IN A CLASSIC CASE OF DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS
I DO, THE COMPANY ALSO HEAVILY FOSTERED A BACKSTAGE ATMOSPHERE OF INTIMIDATION, PRANKING,
AND HOSTILITY, MOST OF WHICH CENTERED AROUND THE ACTIONS OF FORMER WWE CHAMPION JOHN BRADSHAW
LAYFIELD. SOME OF THE MEN JBL BULLIED INCLUDE MARK HENRY, EDGE, THE HARDY BOYZ, AND MORE
RECENTLY, MAURO RANALLO. IT WAS THAT LAST NAME THAT SPARKED THE OUTRAGE, WHEN RANALLO
CLAIMED HE WAS TAKING A LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM WWE AND MOST PEOPLE ASSUMED JBL'S BEHAVIOR
WAS THE REASON. WHILE THE SPECIFICS WEREN'T QUITE SO CLEAR, EITHER WAY, THE WWE UNIVERSE
RESPONDED EN MASSE WITH CHANTS OF "FIRE BRADSHAW," CLEARLY STATING THE OPINION THESE
SORT OF BACKSTAGE ANTICS ARE NOT OKAY. GRANTED, WWE DIDN'T REACT IN THE SLIGHTEST, BUT WE
BET THE AUDIENCE WILL FORCE THEM TO IF ANYONE EVER COMPLAINS ABOUT BULLYING AGAIN.
7. WWE ARRIVED IN INDIA. FOR ALL THEIR TALK ABOUT BEING WORLD LEADERS
IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT RARELY HOLDS SHOWS OUTSIDE OF ITS BASE COUNTRY,
THE GOOD OLD U S OF A. SURE, THEY TOUR AROUND THE WORLD CONSTANTLY, SPENDING A WEEK IN THE
UK EVERY COUPLE MONTHS AND MAYBE A DAY OR TWO IN GERMANY PER YEAR, BUT HUGE PORTIONS
OF THE WORLD ARE WITHOUT ANY CHANCE OF SEEING WWE LIVE. IN FAIRNESS, VINCE MCMAHON ISN'T
HAPPY ABOUT THIS, AND IS DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE WWE A TRULY GLOBAL PRESENCE.
IN 2017, THE FOCUS OF HIS EXPANSION WAS THE COUNTRY OF INDIA. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR
NATIVE INDIANS COULD ACCESS THE WWE NETWORK, AND TO PROMOTE THE HISTORIC LAUNCH, WRESTLERS
LIKE TRIPLE H AND THE NEW DAY HAVE GONE ON PUBLICITY TOURS MEETING FANS AND SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS.
IT WAS ALL A BUILD TO THE FIRST EVER WWE SHOW IN INDIA, FEATURING A MAIN EVENT BETWEEN TRIPLE
H AND JINDER MAHAL. WHILE INDIA IS MERELY ONE COUNTRY, IT'S POPULATION OF OVER 1 BILLION
COULD DEFINITELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON VINCE MCMAHON'S WALLET IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND THUS THE ENTIRE
WRESTLING BUSINESS. 6. FOREIGN STARS TOOK THE SPOTLIGHT.
IN DIRECT RELATION TO THE FACT WWE EXPANDED EASTWARD TOWARDS INDIA, THEY ALSO MADE A HISTORIC
MOVE WITH THE WWE WORLD TITLE BY CROWNING THE FIRST EVER INDIAN CHAMPION. THE DOWNSIDE,
OF COURSE, IS THAT SAID CHAMPION WAS JINDER MAHAL, A CAREER JOBBER WHO HAD NO RIGHT BEING
IN THE MAIN EVENT. EVEN SO, THERE'S SOMETHING NOBLE ABOUT WWE FINALLY TAKING A CHANCE ON
A DARK-SKINNED NON-AMERICAN AS THE FACE OF THEIR COMPANY. NOT ONLY WAS JINDER ALLOWED
TO REPRESENT ALL THINGS WWE, BUT ALSO, ONE OF HIS TOP RIVALS WAS A JAPANESE MAN IN SHINSUKE
NAKAMURA. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, WWE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN AMERICAN COMPANY THROUGH AND
THROUGH, WITH FOREIGNERS TREATED AS BIG BAD MONSTERS STRONG AMERICAN HEROES NEED TO DESTROY.
THAT FEELING WAS STILL SLIGHTLY PRESENT WITH JINDER, BUT AT LEAST A FOREIGNER GOT A TRUE
CHANCE TO LOOK STRONG. THAT SAID, THE ROLES BEEN REVERSED AND NAKAMURA REIGNED AS CHAMPION
WHILE JINDER CHALLENGED HIM, FANS MIGHT HAVE APPRECIATED IT A WHOLE LOT MORE.
5. WWE NETWORK SPECIALS CONTINUE TO SHINE. A COUPLE YEARS INTO THE EXISTENCE OF THE WWE
NETWORK, IT STILL FEELS LIKE VINCE MCMAHON AND COMPANY HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND
ITS POTENTIAL. SURE, THEY COULD JUST PUT UP RAW, SMACKDOWN, AND PAY-PER-VIEWS, AND 90%
OF FANS WOULD BE HAPPY. HOWEVER, THEY COULD ALSO CREATE NEW AND EXCITING PROGRAMMING LIKE
NXT, THE MAE YOUNG CLASSIC, OR THE UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT, AND THE FACT
TWO OF THOSE ARE FROM 2017 SHOULD BE A SIGN THEY'RE STARTING TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION.
AN UNFORTUNATE REALITY IS THAT THESE SPECIALS DON'T ALWAYS GET THE SAME NUMBERS AS, SAY,
WRESTLEMANIA, BUT THEY'RE NONETHELESS GETTING FANS TALKING AND INTERESTED IN NEW AND UNIQUE
STYLES OF WRESTLING. THESE SPECIALS ARE ALSO CREATING READYMADE STARS, WITH WHOEVER WINS
THE TOURNAMENTS IN QUESTION ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OFFICIAL WWE DEBUTS WITH A GREAT DEAL OF RESPECT
FROM THE AUDIENCE ALREADY WON. HOPEFULLY, WWE WILL CONTINUE PRODUCING SIMILARLY UNIQUE
SPECIALS IN THE FUTURE. 4. A NEW CHAMPIONSHIP THAT DOES AND DOESN'T
MATTER. IT SEEMS TO BE THE OPINION OF MANY WRESTLING
FANS THESE DAYS THAT WWE HAS FAR MORE CHAMPIONSHIP BELTS AVAILABLE TO ITS SUPERSTARS THAN NECESSARY.
BOTH RAW AND SMACKDOWN HAVE AT LEAST FOUR BELTS, PLUS THREE FOR NXT, ONE FOR 205 LIVE,
AND NOW THERE'S A 13TH SPECIAL CHUNK OF GOLD TO CELEBRATE ANARCHY IN THE UK. OKAY,
YEAH, IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE THE IDEA MIGHT BE REACHING CRITICAL MASS, BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE,
THE NEW TITLE HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME PRETTY SPECIAL MATCHES. IN AND OF ITSELF,
THE UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT PRODUCED AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF GREAT MATCHES,
ESPECIALLY THE FINALE ROUND BETWEEN TYLER BATE AND PETE DUNNE. THEN, LESS THAN FIVE
MONTHS LATER, THE TWO ONE-UPPED THEMSELVES WITH AN INCREDIBLE REMATCH WHERE DUNNE TOOK
THE TITLE AWAY FROM BATE. BOTH OF THESE WRESTLERS ARE IN THEIR EARLY 20S, AND MOST OTHERS IN
THE UK TOURNAMENT ARE ALSO QUITE YOUNG, IN A SENSE MAKING THE UK CHAMPIONSHIP A MICROCOSM
FOR EVOLUTION IN THE WRESTLING INDUSTRY. THE ONLY ISSUE IS WHETHER OR NOT WWE WILL CAPITALIZE
ON IT. 3. THE WOMEN'S REVOLUTION CONTINUES TO GET
TELEVISED. WHEN EVOLUTION DOESN'T COME QUICKLY ENOUGH,
THOSE WHO DEMAND IT BAND TOGETHER AND FORCIBLY REVOLT. WWE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR
THE PAST FEW YEARS NOW WITH THE SO-CALLED WOMEN'S WRESTLING REVOLUTION, AND THE LADIES
OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT STILL AREN'T HAPPY WITH THEIR PLACE IN THE BUSINESS. THE GOOD
NEWS IS THAT IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER, THANKS TO THE HARD WORK OF FEMALE WRESTLERS
ALL OVER THE WORLD. LEADING THE CHARGE ARE WWE STANDOUTS LIKE CHARLOTTE FLAIR, ASUKA,
AND ALEXA BLISS, WHO MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST IMPROVED FEMALE WRESTLER OF THE YEAR. EVERY
SINGLE WOMAN TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAE YOUNG CLASSIC ALSO DESERVES A LITTLE CREDIT, AS
THE SHORT LIVED SERIES WAS TRULY HISTORIC IN HOW MUCH FOCUS WWE WAS GIVING TO THE FEMALE
SIDE OF THE INDUSTRY. THE BEST PART IS IT WILL ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE, AS TOURNAMENT
STANDOUTS LIKE SHAYNA BASZLER, PIPER NIVEN, TONI STORM, AND OBVIOUSLY WINNER KAIRI SANE,
ALL SHOULD HAVE EARNED THEMSELVES FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES.
2. THE RETURN OF WAR GAMES. FROM THE DAY WCW WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN 2001,
FANS HAVE BEEN CLAMORING FOR WWE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR FORMER RIVAL'S GREATEST IDEAS SUDDENLY
BECOMING THEIR LEGAL PROPERTY. ON THE IMMEDIATE LEVEL, THIS MEANT A BUNCH OF WCW WRESTLERS
SHOWING UP AND INVADING THE COMPANY TO LESS THAN SPECTACULAR RESULTS. AS TIME WENT BY,
THOUGH, FANS FORGOT ABOUT THAT INITIAL DISAPPOINTMENT AND JUST WISHED WWE WOULD CAPITALIZE ON THE
POSITIVES, LIKE THE FACT THEY OWNED THE TRADEMARK BEHIND WCW'S GREATEST GIMMICK MATCH, WAR
GAMES. FINALLY, AFTER 16 YEARS OF WAITING, WWE BROUGHT THE ICONIC TWO RING CAGE BACK
FOR AN EPIC BATTLE IN NXT. THE RESULTS WERE JUST AS GOOD AS EVERYONE HOPED, WITH THE BATTLE
BETWEEN SANITY, THE UNDISPUTED ERA, AND THE TEAM OF RODERICK STRONG AND THE AUTHORS OF
PAIN MORE THAN DELIVERING WAR GAMES'S CLASSIC LEVEL OF EXTREME VIOLENCE. ALL THAT'S LEFT
IS FOR THE ICONIC STRUCTURE TO MAKE ITS WAY TO WWE PROPER, WHICH MAY JUST HAPPEN IN 2018.
1. TRIPLE H CONTROLS MORE AND MORE OF THE GAME.
RUMOR HAS IT TRIPLE H HAS BEEN GUNNING FOR VINCE MCMAHON'S JOB SINCE BACK WHEN HE WAS
A LOWLY CONNECTICUT BLUEBLOOD CURTSEYING TO HIS OPPONENTS BEFORE THEIR MATCHES. BY THE
TIME HE MARRIED VINCE'S DAUGHTER STEPHANIE, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH INEVITABLE THE GAME WOULD
GET HIS WISH. FOR THE MOST PART, THIS MEANS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WWE POWER STRUCTURE THROUGHOUT
2017 WAS HARDLY SURPRISING OR UNEXPECTED, YET IT NONETHELESS DEFINITELY CONSTITUTES
AS EVOLUTION. AS HAS BEEN THE TREND OF LATE, TRIPLE H CONTINUED TO EXPAND HIS POWER IN
BITS AND PIECES, TAKING AWAY RESPONSIBILITIES FROM VINCE AS THE WWE PATRIARCH SLOWLY PREPARES
TO FADE FROM THE SPOTLIGHT. GRANTED, WE'RE STILL A FAR CRY FROM A WWE RULED BY TRIPLE
H, AS MCMAHON STILL ABSOLUTELY HAS THE FINAL WORD. EVEN SO, TRIPLE H HAS GOTTEN SO HIGH
UP THE CORPORATE LADDER THAT EVERY INCH OF PROGRESS IS A METAPHORICAL MILE OF CONTROL.
AT THIS RATE, TRIPLE H'S INAUGURATION AS THE NEW LEADER OF WWE MAY COME SOONER THAN
ANYONE THINKS.

Black Hole Theater Production of Marat/Sade - Duration: 10:12.
Already seated in his place. Here is Marat observe his face.
Fifty years old and not yet dead, he wears a bandage around his head.
His flesh burns it is yellow as cheese, because disfigured by a skin disease.
And only water cooling every limb, prevents his fever from consuming him.
To act this most important role, we chose a lucky paranoiac. One of those who've
made unprecedented strides since we introduced them to hydrotherapy.
The lady who is acting as his nurse, whose touch certainly makes him no worse,
is Simonne Evrard not Charlotte Corday. Marat and Evrard United one day.
They shared one vision of the just and true and furthermore they shared her money too.
Here's Charlotte Corday waiting for her entry, she comes from Cean, her family landed gentry
Her dress is pretty shoes chic and you'll spy, she readjusts the cloth around her thigh.
Historians agree, so it's not lewd in us to say she's phenomenally pulchritudinous.
Unfortunately the girl who plays the role here, has sleeping sickness also
melancholia. Our hope must be for this afflicted soul, that she does not forget her role.
Ah... Here comes Monsieur Duperret, with silken hose and fresh toupee.
To the revolutions murderous insanity, he brings a touch of high urbanity.
Though as a well-known Girondist, his name's on Marat's blacklist.
He's handsome cheerful full of zest, and needs for watching than the rest.
Jailed for taking a radical view of anything you can name the former priest, Jacques Roux.
Ally of Marat's revolution but unfortunately the censors cut
- most of his rabble-rousing theme. Our moral guardians found it too extreme. - Liberty...
Meet this gentleman from high society, who under the lurid star of notoriety,
came to live with us just five years ago. It's to his genius that we owe this show.
The former Marquis, Monsieur de Sade, whose books were banned, his essays barred
while he's been persecuted and reviled, thrown into jail and for some years exiled.
The introduction's over now, the play of Jean-Paul Marat can get under way.
Tonight the date is the thirteenth of July eighteen-o-eight.
And on this night our cast intend showing how fifteen years ago night without end
fell on that man, that invalid. And you are going to see him bleed.
And see this woman after careful thought take up the dagger and cut him short.
I'll start by just saying the title of the play, because the title actually is the synopsis of the whole play.
The full title is 'The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as
Performed by the Inmates at the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the
Marquis de Sade', and in fact that's precisely what happens. The Marquis de
Sade was a person who was imprisoned at Charenton asylum. While there he wrote
plays. This particular one Peter Weiss is imagining him writing a play about the
French Revolution. So it allows Weiss multiple levels and multiple stories. So
it's super complicated and yet also it's really quite simple. It's people in an
asylum putting on a play written by a person there as part of their therapy.
It's just that the therapy maybe doesn't work in the way that the
head of the asylum, Coulmier, would hope. One of the opportunities that we discovered
in the process of this, you know, debating how to do this play, was there are two
different levels, and it's a very typical Brechtian, device which is that he
doesn't want the actor and the character to be closely identified. He doesn't want
you to believe in the illusion of character. He wants you to see the
choices made in a social setting. One of the ways that Weiss does that in this
play, is the very distinct difference between the inmates who play the
characters and the characters within the play, within the play. So Charlotte Corday
is an important figure from the French Revolution, an important figure in that
play, but described as a as a person with sleeping sickness also melancholia. So
right away there's really no close identification. In fact it's impossible
to have that close identification between actor and character. And so we
took that one step further and said since that's the case, there's no need at
all for any connection so we can be completely fluid with all our casting,
when it comes to gender, physical appearance, age, for all those characters
within the play within the play it doesn't frankly matter. And so we've been
fluid with our casting for example of Marat and Duperret are both played by
women. And so it becomes a very different experience, but I think it more clearly
points out actually what the playwright wanted. So I think we're really serving
to play that way. I described it as total theatre a moment ago, and it has
certainly been total theatre for all of us. I mean first of all there are two
directors working, and secondly we have a cast of 42 and we're moving them about
on this magnificently large set, but it's the largest set we've ever built.
There are costumes for 42 people including costume changes. The lights are complex
and interesting. The number of props being created for this show is
astonishing. It's also a musical!
♪ Poor old Marat, they hunt you down ♪ ♪ The bloodhounds are sniffing all over town ♪
♪ Just yesterday your printing press ♪ ♪ was smashed, now they're asking your home address♪
♪ Poor old Marat, in you we trust ♪ ♪ You work till your eyes turn as red as rust ♪
♪ And while you work, they're on your track ♪ ♪ The boots mount the staircase, the door's flung back ♪
♪ Marat we are poor ♪ ♪ And the poor stay poor ♪
♪ We want our rights, and we don't care how ♪ ♪ We want revolution, now ♪
My response sometimes was this is a brooding murder, let's make it a brooding
murder. And sometimes, it's the concept of murdering someone in a modern world is
so absurd, I hope, that there is something funny about it. There's something funny
- about someone singing the line: "so I say no and I go, to murder you Marat. - Spoilers!
And free all men kind". I take it light heartedly and I think it's there's
something comedic about that because it's so blatantly what she's going
to do. But at the same time I think there's something to be said about
laughing in the face of tragedy, or laughing in the face of darkness to kind
of show that we're not necessarily afraid of it. And so I think that's what this show does.
I was walking into this like it was a musical. And I think I've
never been more aware, because I do both, of the differences between straight
theatre and musical theatre, than I was the first time I came to a rehearsal.
Because it's just so different what you expect from the cast, what they're, you know,
putting out. And it's not that either is better or worse, they're just wildly
different. And priorities are so different from what I was walking in
expecting, that it took I think a few maybe even several rehearsals to kind of
click into the way this show would work. It's also sort of a musical. But it's
really interesting in that way because when the show was written, there's
actually no music or even like real lyrical structure to the songs. So every
time the show is put on, there's a whole new score and music and everything else
written for it. Which is really neat. And Cuinn wrote it, and it's fantastic.
It's very catchy and when you come see it some of them will be stuck in your head for a long time.
- We hope. - So get ready for that.
It's like something you've never quite seen before.
And I don't know how many chances you get to see it in your life. Come and see
a lot of really interesting work. It's gonna be a ride.

Il mio Cammino di Santiago | EP #15 - THE END - Duration: 5:50.
What is going on people? Welcome to day number 15 of my Camino de Santiago.
Stay with me as we go through the street of Santiago. We're in the queue to collect
our certificate that confirms that we finished the pilgrimage. There's a lot of people.
We got the certificate it confirms we started on the 4th of
September, finishing on the 16th, we walk three hundred and thirty-four kilometers
from Oviedo to Santiago.
We are right here in front of the Cathedral again.
I want to give you some info about the name Santiago de Compostela which is
from the vulgar latin Santiago means Sanctus Jacobus,
San Giacomo, St. James. Compostela, there are different variations
and one says that it comes from campus Stellae, literally the field of
stars, one reason being because
the primitive way, el camino primitivo, the one we followed, actually follows the
milk way, so you follow the Stars and you reach Santiago de Compostela from Oviedo.
Another legend related to stars is that a shepherd or local person
called Pelayo was living around here and he kept seeing this bright star
on a hill, so he followed this star and he found the grave of Saint James, the
apostle, and two other graves that belong to his disciples.
The guys are taking the piss out of me because I'm talking to the camera on my own.
So that happen in 813. When this guy found the graves he went to Alfonso ii
of Asturias who started the construction of the cathedral that you see right here.
Talking about St. James's legend or history, St James came here to the
northwest of Spain to convert people to Christianity. St. James went to Finisterre
first, where he was preaching and spreading Christianity.
Then he went back to Palestine in 44, he was killed by King Herod, he wasn't
buried but he was put in a marble sarcophagus. The disciples put the
coffin, the sarcophagus on a boat and the boat, through the curse of the sea,
reached the northwest of Spain and he was buried here, in a woods.
Where there is now an amazing Cathedral.
Well covered in scaffoldings.
We went to the service guys, just finished, and as you seen they use this
botafumeiro, the incense burner. That was touching.
There's just something special here. And I probably let go of all
the remains of my questions and answers, so hopefully they will stay here.
Dude, see you in the UK. Guys Peter is leaving us this time.
Take care. We're leaving everyone behind
and then it's my turn. Soon Soon.
I've done the last drone shot of the vacation.
It's 3 o'clock, my flight is at 7, so I'm getting my back, preparing stuff,
ready to go back to the cold London. I'm not feeling it.
it's time to go our. On our way to the airport with hermana Didi and Tio Claudio. Guys it's a great experience!
I don't want to leave you with a farewell to these guys, so I'm gonna
leave you with a happy smile. I just want to say, it's a great
adventure, live your life, go out there, see the world, talk to people, because
that's the best way to learn and live life. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did,
but probably not because you need to live it and that's why, if you're lucky
as I am, just live it. Consider to subscribe to the channel for more
adventures, we see around the world. El Camino de Santiago, Primitivo.

Steamer 950 W - SILVERCREST - LIDL - TEST FISH AND GREEN BEANS
Hello little test of the steam cooker LIDL SILVERCREST
Before the first use there is a procedure to do, thank you to read the instructions
450 grams of green beans and 250 g of cod
1 L of water
Water collecting tray, basket N ° 1
450 grams of green beans
250 grams of cod
the lid and I plug the device
in the instructions it is indicated for 400 g of green beans => 25/30 minutes - 250 g of fresh fish => 10/15 minutes
I adjust to 40 minutes (and I will adjust)
the water does not cut on the sides, the steam stays in the tanks
we can touch the handle, but around it is very hot
12 minutes
it looks good, I'll leave 2/3 minutes
15 minutes I remove the fish
the fish is cooked, it's perfect
I will advise you to put the longest foods first and add the other foods after
thank you for leaving your advice, I am poorly organized: p
I may have to do that beans first and add after the fish?
20 minutes of cooking, I will add water!
you have to pour slowly, it's blocked
23 minutes, the beans are crunchy
steam coming out of the holes of the basket
28 minutes I stop
the fish was cooked in 15 minutes and 28 minutes for green beans (the times indicated in the instructions seem correct)
30 minutes of cooking: I collected 0.2 Liters of water in the collection tray (capacity of the tank of 0.5 liters) is 75 minutes before the water falls inside
you have to clean
(+) you can control the water level, (+) fill the water during cooking (+) you can easily adjust the timer
(+) a good capacity (+) the bottom of the boxes is removable (if you want to cook large foods (ex artichoke) height of 24 cm in total
(-) no numerical timer (-) must be added to the long cooking (-) no heating (-) no temperature setting
if you want additional videos, thank you for leaving me comments, thank you to leave your opinion, see you soon !!
