WARNING : Do Not Watch This - Play The Game, it's much better if you experience it for yourself.

But if you must.....
Save the Date starts out as a dating sim, interactive novel kind of thing and then quickly sidesteps into a commentary on gaming and the techniques that have become a normal part of game design. It's mostly static backdrops with lots of conversation, as such I spend most of this video reading dialogue from the Female love interest.
If you've played it to death, seen a dozen different endings but still can't figure out how to get the happy ending, then skip to the 58:00 mark to see how to think outside the box and make all her dreams come true.
I haven't exhausted all the dialogue options, but I think I've covered all the game over scenarios.

It's cool to travel to see a rocket launch, but if you know when to look you can see the launches for hundreds of miles around. This particular launch by SpaceX was timed to launch in darkness and into sunlight making for an easily visible trail. So even although Vandenberg was 230 miles from my home, it was easy to photograph.

It's been 50 years since the first successful suborbital flight of the British designed and built Black Arrow rocket. Ultimately it would prove its ability to launch satellites into low Earth Orbit before being cancelled, but there's a lot to talk about. The Propellent choice of High Test Peroxide and Kerosene is not one we see very often but it has some very interesting advantages over more conventional choices.
Lots of info on British rockets is available on Nicholas Hill's site:
