The date of the video is the most impressive to me here. It says “Sept. 30, 2021” both as the date of the article and the date of the video. If this is not a mistake that means they managed to deliver the video from the hurricane to the internet in less than 24 hours.

Why is this impressive? Either they beamed it out through satelites, which is notoriously hard from an unstable platform on big waves, or they recovered the saildrone and obtained the footage directly which is equally impressive in or around a hurricane.

All around if the dating of the footage is correct it is very impressive to me.

I was just thinking to myself that maybe it's my age or something but the fact that I am sat a thousand miles away watching a video, on my phone, from inside a hurricane that was recorded, edited, and published all in less than a day, is one of those "I'm living in the future, aren't I?" Moments.

My wife was hiking in the high mountains here in Oregon, above 2000 meters, and received a video call from her mom who was in Florence, Italy.

I am old enough to remember rotary phones and I am not that old.

Sitting in the Intercity Express, not on one of it's maiden (record) runs, but right when they went into public service,

or very shortly before that on a promotion, on the new high speed track between Cologne and Frankfurt.

Gently sloped up- and downhill, sometimes right next and parallel to the Autobahn A3.

At 331 to 333 kph. Not shaking at all, and relatively silent.

Looking out of the window, seeing Porsches, Mercedes-Benz, BMW

trying to overtake slower traffic permanently blinking left, flashing their lights.

Appearing almost stationary.

Thinking: Who needs Transrapid?
