Tangled was nearly animated as a moving watercolor painting, but they switched to 3D animation instead, which is too bad, because it was very cool looking. I can't find the featurette on YouTube though.

The video there isn't a video of the actual experiment, it's just a recreation of the experiment. The actual experiments happened before the film was taken, but whether or not they were actually successful is really up for debate. Gotta keep in mind that it was a Soviet Union experiment in 1940, so it may very well have been faked to make the Soviet Union look more medically advanced.
That video is a snippet from a film called "[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Experime1940.ogv"]Experiments in the Revival of Organisms"[/URL]. It's some pretty science-fiction-y stuff for 1930's medical tech.

Technically Magneto Optical took the role of Laserdiscs for data storage in 1987 or '88. Last I heard it had capacities up to 9.1gb per cartridge.

I love KSP, but I wanna do it for real now. If I ever do start a space program I might call it Kerbal Aerospace Industries.

Oh and don't forget several active private space agencies!

My only complaint is that the bank of the river, seen in the bottom right of the image, looks very flat, as if it's a single texture.

Here's one of those cool 3d photosets from tumblr. Somewhat out of context spoilers for the new episode of walking dead, though.
