    This adorable video shows an RNLI crewman wading through high tide to rescue a Highland terrier – as the dog struggled to swim to safety after being cut off by the tide. Little Bella the terrier can be seen desperately paddling along the sea wall to keep herself afloat, as the RNLI lifeboat crew approached her on Saturday afternoon. Crew member David Ridout hopped out of the boat and had to wade through the water behind her to pluck her out and bring her back to dry land. The RNLI crew, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, were called after a passer-by on packed Weston beach spotted Bella trapped by the flooding tide.

  • Watch NASA dump 450,000 gallons of water in less than a minute

    NASA frequently achieves breathtaking feats: launching a probe to kiss the sun, discovering new worlds in far-flung star systems, and keeping humans alive as they speed around in a spaceship 250 miles above Earth.

    But space is hard, and it’s not always glamorous getting there. Sometimes NASA blows us away in more mundane ways—like by shooting about 450,000 gallons of water 100 feet into the air. It’s no surprise that the latest test of NASA’s Ignition Overpressure Protection and Sound Suppression (IOP/SS) water deluge system is making a splash all over the Internet. Just check out the footage for yourself:

    The testing is part of the preparation for NASA’s new Space Launch System, a rocket intended to take humans beyond Earth’s orbit—around the moon and perhaps even to Mars. After a string of delays, SLS is supposed to take its first, uncrewed flight sometime in 2019.

    SLS is a big ol’ rocket. In fact, it’s the first to ever surpass the strength of the Saturn V, a superlative craft that thrust six lunar missions into space. SLS’s engines and boosters will produce 8.4 million pounds of thrust, and in doing so will also create a ton of heat and noise. We’re not talking about the level of noise that makes you want to cover your ears: SLS will create acoustic energy capable of damaging the rocket, its payload, and the surrounding launch pad. In other words, it’s gonna go boom—big time. IOP/SS fights back with a big burst of liquid refreshment.
