Video Description:

As someone fascinated by engineering, I still remember the day I saw the Airbus A380

take off on one of it’s first flights. Seeing the giant double-deck, four engine jet airliner fly

close by was one of those cool moments where a technology surpassed all my

expectations of what can be possible.

And so, early this year, I was shocked to hear that Airbus will completely end production

on the A380 by 2021. The question that remains is whether we should therefore think of the A380 as a failure. Because even though it simply isn’t lucrative enough for business considerations, this

does not change the engineering achievement of constructing a plane of this size. And

there have been no incidents leading to fatalities, more serious injuries or crashes with the

A380.

Why does the channel have a new name?

As you may have noticed, the channel has changed its name from "Society of Geeks" to "neo".

And to make this clear: It's not about a change of ownership, it's just taste.

When I launched the channel almost 3 years ago, I would have never thought the videos would get the attention they now have. The initial scope of the types of topics were very limited but now has expanded. The channel was thought to deal primarily with analysing films but now they have become more political. And the name should have the flexibility to fit for both aspects, as well as for any genres in the future that I can’t even think of right now.

And with this new name, it feels right to approach the next goals and really develope the channel into something exciting.

Thanks for your understanding.
