Indeed! Imagine what could be possible now or in another 10 years :D
I am trying to boot up this community, so I am sometimes posting even the older interesting videos I remember (until people start posting more frequently).
The video by The Thought Emporium is more recent.

25,000 neurons growing on a multi-electrode array form a living "brain," which is hooked up to a flight simulator on a desktop computer. Information on the aircraft's movements is processed by stimulating neurons with electrodes. The neurons then fire in patterns that control the aircraft's flight path. In depth videos by The Thought Emporium: [https://youtu.be/V2YDApNRK3g](https://youtu.be/V2YDApNRK3g) [https://youtu.be/bEXefdbQDjw](https://youtu.be/bEXefdbQDjw)

At the end of the last Apollo 15 moon walk, Commander David Scott performed a live demonstration for the television cameras. He held out a geologic hammer and a feather and dropped them at the same time. Because they were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before - all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Everything in our local galaxy supercluster, Laniakea, is being dragged towards a very high concentration of mass hidden behind the plane of our galaxy. It has all the ingredients for an epic space mystery, it is the Great Attractor.

A team of elite cavers led by 68-year-old explorer Bill Stone are in the depths of Cheve Cave, Mexico. At every step of the way, they use nature’s clues, following the wind and water within the cave, to navigate their next move. Underground it is a maze of twisting tunnels and dead ends in search of a passage that leads to the bottom of the deepest cave on earth. They have established a chain of underground camps (which took them 30 years to do) leading deeper and deeper into the cave, all the way to the frontline of the exploration (5 km from the entrance). It takes them around 7-10 days to reach the bottom of the cave, so the leading team gets supplied by multiple supply teams that every so often travel the length of the cave.
