Useless thing that you've learnt?
What is a useless thing you have learnt. Can be anything. Apex or non apex related. E.g. Parabola's. Why do you need to know about a parabola? I also learnt how to make a minigun in Minecraft. Now ...

@MandatoryIDtag The cream in it, perhaps..?

Parabola related: for a given amount of energy, a 45 degree launch angle will achieve the greatest distance.
Less parabola related: the Saturn 5 rocket that got us to the moon had the equivalent of about 160 Million horsepower.

@EA_BarryI actually saw a real Saturn V in Huntsville, Alabama at the Space and Rocket Center. They also had a few F-1 engines on display. I also saw the capsules from a few of the Apollo missions. But I'm a huge aerospace nerd.. If you're into there are some really good youtube channels out there these days. Scott Manley has a ton of great content and interesting discussions.
I'm hoping to make it the National Aerospace museum at Wright-Patterson Air force Base in Ohio one of these days. They have an XB-70 on display. If you want to really get into rockets check out Tripoli Rocket Association. You can go to one of their monthly launches and see some really cool stuff. They meet up about an hour from my house once a month and launch rockets up to 40,000 feet... The airspace is closed for them for a bit.. I made my nephew a rocket for xmass one year, sent it up to about 2k feet. I really did not understand how high 2000 feet was until it launched.. It just kept going and going and going.. I was sitting there thinking uhh maybe this was a bad idea.
I hardly remember it but when I was a kid my parents took me to see the Spruce Goose when it was still in Socal. They still allow people to walk through it and I believe sit in the pilots seats. I think my parents have a picture of me sitting in the seat that Howard Hughes sat in I was only 3-4 at the time.looking at yourself in the mirror as seen by a camera on your hat while you wear the hat is visible to the camera, but look a stones throw away and the camera cant see that far because of the distance making the angle greater.
