Silly answer: It's a Terrier Malemute with an improve Malemute upper stage.
Serious answer: it's a sounding rocket based on the US Navy RIM-2 Terrier surface-to-air missile from the 1950s as the first stage, with a Thiokol Malemute upper stage. The Terrier is used as a first stage for a variety of small rockets.
A recent launch of note that used Terrier-Malemute variants was ATREX.
According to a number of sources, the reason this happens is related to the way YouTube partners with companies like Scripps. Essentially, when one of YouTube's enterprise customers uploads a video, in the process of making it available YouTube kicks off an automated search that immediately goes looking for other copies of that video, already online.
This is why a video that's been on YouTube for months or years and is clearly someone else's property can get shown on a late night talk show and then suddenly get a copyright takedown
In short, YouTube assumes that if one of their paying partners uploads a video, it must belong to the company, and no matter how long that content has been on YouTube before Scripps, NBC, or whoever uploads their copy, it must be a pirated copy.
THANK YOU!
Every time I read another article or book about how we need more STEM education in schools I want to pull my hair out and scream "HOW ABOUT SOME FUCKING JOBS THAT PAY?"
Let's be honest, getting a degree in the sciences, math, or technology is hard. It takes dedication right from an early age in school where science and math studies are bastardized by political interests that insist on BS like "teaching the controversy", and even if you can get a good education, those interests play second fiddle to athletics and prom night.
Then you go into college where you get weed-out classes and tons of labs that cost a lot of additional money over tuition, books, and room and board.
After *that*, if you have the dedication, you do graduate work for an advanced degree and possibly post-doc work.
After all that, *if* you can find a job, you get paid for a year's work about what a Wall Street broker makes during the time he's sitting on the toilet taking a dump, and forget about tenure-track educational positions, those are rarer than hen's teeth in the 21st century.
I'm not done yet -- if you do manage to go though all that, you end up a field where the very basis of your work - the scientific method and things like evolution and global warming - are just punching bags to idiot politicians who won't hesitate to destroy your reputation and career if your findings don't square with their personal fantasies.
If the US is serious about science, math and technology, they'll stop harping about needing more education and start paying attention to revitalizing the field's job prospects and respectability.
Computer Science is merely the post-Turing decline in formal systems theory.
