And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The Yuma Proving grounds has cameras that watch the stuff they fire so they can look for ways to improve it. They had an open house once when we were down that way. Neat picture!
I was guessing the camera (or maybe just a lens/mirror) was spinning and synchronized to match the projectile, but notice the image is initially centered on the muzzle and motionless.
daniel_day: The lift ring is that round circle thing on the nose of the projectile which is used to lift the projo ( artillery talk for the round ). It is normally removed and replaced by a fuse when firing the round. I have no idea why they fired that one with the lift ring on it.

ReplyDeleteNeat picture!
The spinning lift ring is cool!

How on earth can a camera pan that fast?
