Area II of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory was the proving ground for numerous rocket engines and components designed and developed by Rocketdyne for NASA, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army's Army Ballistic Missile Agency. Area II was sub-divided into four test areas, Alfa, Bravo, Coca and Delta, with multiple test stands and multiple support facilities in each. The Historic American Engineering Record has been undertaking a project to record the extant structures of these test areas which reflect the most intense research and development era of rocket propulsion in our nation. Some of the major rocket engine programs that used Area II for testing include the Redstone, Atlas and Jupiter engines, the predecessor to the Saturn V's F-1 engine, the E-1, components of the F-1 engine, the upper stage engines for the Saturn V, the J-2 and the testing and development of the Space Shuttle Main Engine. The Historic American Engineering Record's recent activities on site focused primarily on the extant Coca Area test stands and support facilities. This video fly through is of the extant structures, captured with high-definition laser scans, within the Coca Test area of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
The field documentation team consisted of HDP architects Tom Behrens, Daniel DeSousa, Dana Lockett, Jeremy Mauro, Ryan Pierce, and John Wachtel. The fly-through animation was rendered using Pointools by John Wachtel.
This documentation project was coordinated through the Planning Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
Note: The animation is produced as a byproduct of the scan data captured by a high-definition laser scanner used in the production of HAER drawings. This video does not contain sound.

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
