    How are we suppose to know how big a meter is?? Maybe its small? Use the English measurements. Not forign. I mean you are speaking english arnt you? 😊

    Problem is the orbit that DART put that asteroid in now has it hitting Venus, knocking it out of its orbit, disrupting the orbits of the other eight planets, throwing Earth away from the Sun, freezing the planet and snuffing out life anyways.

    What? Just as crazy as any other scenario on the web.🤪

    In the bible it talks about a star falling from heaven and causing destruction [Revelation 8:10]. Most other prophecies have already come true. To anyone reading this, repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness before it is too late. Soon he’ll return to take to heaven all those who really believe in him. The others will be left behind to face what is about to come. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Make the right decision and turn to Christ today.

      These are asteroids falling from heaven, not stars.
      Why do we need Jesus to come and save us from asteroids?
      Why can’t just God save us?
      Or does he want to watch us get destroyed?
      If so, then that’s pretty sadistic.

    Wait, that already happened!

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever.

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech.

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.
