New video shows NASA’s cool Flying Saucer in action at last


At last, here’s the video of NASA’s LDSD test—the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator system that will take a new rover to Mars, one even larger than Curiosity. It’s impressive to see the entire system in action, working like clockwork even while the supersonic parachute display failed.

For those who have read about UFO investigations by the government, it is more than a tad ironic that NASA is using weather balloons right now to test their new flying saucers.

I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.
