Is this an appropriate place to post stormwater engineering/modeling factoids? Every once in a while I want to nerd out and knowledge dump but there seems to be a very limited audience for this 😅

One of the reasons I love aerospace is that you can’t fake building an aircraft. You can’t growth-hack orbital mechanics. You can’t make safety critical systems without really thinking things through and engineering them

Does anybody know a good documentary or book about the history and technical evolution of bridges? I got a hankering for an esoteric deep dive for specifically this.

We still don't know how the perfect design of a wave generator looks like. Fun fact, wave energy is up to 4 times higher in winters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1pxV7Nro34

“Thus, China's space program is making demonstrable progress in all three of the major elements of its lunar program: the large rocket to launch a crew spacecraft, which will carry humans to lunar orbit, plus the lander that will take astronauts down to the surface and back. This work suggests that China is on course to land on the Moon before the end of this decade.” https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/08/after-recent-tests-china-appears-likely-to-beat-the-united-states-back-to-the-moon/
