  • NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center recently upgraded the foam fire suppression system for the hangars in our Research Aircraft Integration Facility. The safety system uses high expansion foam, which contains less water and chemicals making it more environmentally friendly. The foam is used to help control damage in the event of a fire and prevent the loss of any aircraft.
    This 4-minute, 31-second video from 2016 shows the new system being tested in the empty hangars to ensure that the consistency of the foam is correct and that it disperses quickly and evenly enough to suffocate a fire.

    It would be really cool to see it put out an actual fuel fire in the hanger or even in a dummy building just to see how effective it actually is

    +NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center Is the foam harmful for people laying on the floor while it's deployed?

    NASA needs better youtube producers at the helm. It would help their public relations, and potentially acquire more funding. This and so many other videos have so much great potential content...but this was presented in the most uninteresting way.

      It dissolves after a couple days then we Zamboni the rest of it up. I was on this project installing the fire Alarm.

      +NightKnight Gaming Hello NightKnight Gaming. I'm not NASA, but I think I know enough to answer your question. Those top 10 UFO spottings were (most likely) fake. No aliens in the vicinity of Earth have been confirmed, there is no evidence (although conspiracy theorists will tell you otherwise), and we are not likely to see an alien invasion in the near future. However, this is not to say that the Earth is the only planet with the potential of carrying life. There are a few distant planets (several light years away) that have some of the conditions that would allow them to have life, like Earth does (e.g. Right distance away from their star, they have the right type of star, they are rocky planets). In fact, it is possible that Mars and some moons that are found in our Solar System have the potential to have harbored (or perhaps do harbor, but we haven't confirmed that) life in the distant past. Of course, if these planets and moons had life, it would probably not be like what we...

      +Marshca Herrera ...see here on Earth. It would probably be something akin to bacteria or other microorganisms. So, to put it simply, there is no advanced lifeforms in the universe that we humans know about (there are some efforts by scientists to try to detect any signals sent by extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms, but so far, nothing has been found), but there are potential planets that might harbor life or had harbored life in the past.

      +NightKnight Gaming As to there being more planets, there are certainly millions of more planets outside of the solar system, orbiting other stars, or floating freely in space, remnants of an ancient system long passed. A few thousand exoplanets (planets outside of the solar system) have been detected/confirmed by NASA's KEPLER spacecraft, a satellite that is looking for planets outside of the solar system, and which has also provided the details for those planets which had the "right conditions" for life (as mentioned in my other comment). I don't recall a purple and green planet, but if there is one, it's most likely a gaseous planet (like Jupiter). So anyways, there are more planets outside of the solar system, and if you want to learn about something, take it from a reliable source, not just some random video or website. Websites with .gov or .edu at the end are very reliable, and the official NASA CZcams channel (and this one which I am commenting on) are also very reliable.
