Maybe the Osprey's reputation is due not only to the accident rate but also to the fatality rate. A fatal accident in a standard F-16 (not the 2 seater), assuming no one outside the plane is killed, means 1 death. A fatal accident in a V-22 with the same assumptions would have a minimum of 2 deaths (pilot and copilot) at a soft maximum of 26 deaths (2 crew + 24 passengers, possibly more if overloaded).

You might like "The Bomb" documentary from 2016. "[It] explores the culture surrounding nuclear weapons, the fascination they inspire and the perverse appeal they still exert."

Glad they're still doing these. I really enjoyed Scan of the Month and then they just stopped doing new scans after the Moka Pot.

According to the article, the Flock cameras are still in place but are "offline".

Why does that not convince me?

There's a huge difference though between storing books, magazines and newspapers versus storing digital media.

This is of course assuming that Internet Archive will still exist in 100 years.

If I recall correctly they got scooped up by Google and their team was merged into various Google teams. I was disappointed to hear of their fizzling as well. They were just starting to dive into serious movie production light field cameras when it happened. They had an incredible tech demo on their website showcasing its power. I can't seem to locate the original but there are bits of it in the linked video.

I'm making a cat themed puzzle game for my wife using NiceGUI, MindAR and some cat shaped sticky notes. Each note has a name and a secret code. I've hidden 20 of these around the house. I set up a single page app in NiceGUI to display a grid of the lost cats. When you click one it'll display their name, a clue to its hiding spot and an optional hint. 5 of the puzzles use MindAR that will display AR image cards over different art pieces and book covers in our house. I have the NiceGUI page and MindAR set up on one of my Proxmox LXCs that I use for various Flask servers.
