Scott Manley and I agree that altitude signal shouldn't matter if navigation is correct. Athena simply risked touchdown, and it didn't find a flat spot, it found a hole. https://youtu.be/ISZTTEtHcTg&t=1158 https://youtu.be/ISZTTEtHcTg&t=1158

  Can you quote the bit you think is relevant here? He's saying modern spacecraft can null out the horizontal velocity to land, but without an altimeter, you don't necessarily know when to do so, nor when to give the thrusters a little boost to avoid an obstacle you're about to hit, like a plateau.

tldw: speculation: landed with too much lateral velocity and one of legs broke

Does anyone know an extension that strips this tracking information and normalizes YouTube URLs?

  There's tons... Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ Android: https://github.com/svenjacobs/leon https://github.com/svenjacobs/leon

  Just in case, I’m using my own violentmonkey scripts rather than hoping for extensions, and everyone can do that too (now only on firefox, I guess, and maybe brave). For example, I remove &t=<n> from urls that youtube added recently in addition to regular watch position restoration. This broke it for me and they don’t seem to plan a revert.

    That is also used if you want to share a video at a particular timestamp with someone. E.g. check this out it happens 40s in. YouTube.com....&t=40s

      A little downside, yeah, but these scripts can be easily toggled. What can't be easily done is finding my last timestamp in a 5h long vod when &t-in-history screws it up.
