This is what it looks like when fire burns inside a spacecraft

With the Saffire experiment NASA hopes to learn how to better control fire in space.

There are many hazards in spaceflight, but one of the greatest is a fire inside a spacecraft filled with oxygen. Therefore the experiments NASA has conducted to date with fire in microgravity have been small and very well-controlled.

But with its new Saffire experiment NASA decided to go a little bigger. Scientists at Glenn Research Center and 10 other U.S. and international government agencies and universities built a 1-meter by 1.3-meter long module, and placed a 1-meter long cotton-fiber sample inside to burn. Although this burn would be controlled, it was still too risky to conduct the experiment aboard the International Space Station. So when the Cygnus cargo spacecraft departed from the station on Tuesday, the experiment was placed inside.

Shortly after the spacecraft's departure the fire was ignited, and it burned for about eight minutes. NASA released the video on Thursday night of the fire:

The next Legend of Zelda is a Breath of fresh air

With such radical changes, where does Breath of the Wild fit in the Zelda universe?

LOS ANGELES—30 minutes with the newest Legend of Zelda game is enough to prove out what a dumb idea it is to play a game like this for only 30 minutes—especially one as huge, ambitious, and convention-busting as Breath of the Wild. Nintendo's 2017 title, slated to launch on both the Wii U and the unreleased Nintendo NX system, pushes the boundaries of what people should expect in a "Zelda" video game—or even what it means to be a "Zelda" game.

Before Ars' closed-door session at a private Nintendo booth, we'd all gotten a chance to watch the extensive preview footage that Nintendo had published during this year's E3. Watching video of a game never has the same impact as playing a game, and after putting in some controller time we've come to realize that Breath blows up a lot of Zelda series archetypes. Our demo was split into two portions: a 15-minute "sandbox" session in the middle of the game's opening zone (which we started with more armor and weapons) and a 20-minute shot at the retail game's cold open.
