      SO cute u think that. Here's the reality:
      As a military venture, Arpa had a specifically military motivation for creating the internet: it offered a way to bring computing to the front lines. In 1969, Arpa had built a computer network called Arpanet, which linked mainframes at universities, government agencies, and defense contractors around the country.

      The same person who put the laws in on which such epic engine relies to run, upon which it is built, the same Creator has a plan and purpose for your life. Seek Him and you will find Him, ask Him and He will answer, knock and He will open. He did not leave us to our destruction, but came into the flesh in Jesus to make all things new.
      The reason we find ourselves in meaninglessness is because we are far from home, far from our home with God the Father. That's why He sent His only begotten Son, that we may find our home again, and our Father, through His Son, Christ Jesus. Amen

    Failure diagnostics:

    2:01 you can see the back exhaust tube slowly falling.
    The heat didn't melt the steel tubes, it just made them so hot that they entered the superplastic or ductile area, just like when forging steel. Given their length, weight and vibrations, it's no wonder they bent down like hot candy! It 'only' took them nearly two minutes to collapse and you kept driving with them bent almost longer than when they were straight! Ahahahha epic! Ignorance is bliss!
    A simple support frane or a suspension cable would hold them up next time- minimum effort for maximum efficiency :)
