This is the kind of stuff Discovery channel and the like used to put out before everything was reality/fake TV. Parachutes are pretty damn complex and amazing. This is a quality piece of work and the hours and detail you put into it show. Nice job! Can't wait for Wednesday.

    When I was stationed in Korea I ordered a new main canopy from the US. When it arrived the box was stamped on all sides, in big red letters "EMERGENCY ALTITUDE DECELERATOR". Thought this was a strange thing to call a parachute. But later found out that if you are shipping emergency/life saving equipment you got a break on postage. So this is what it was called so as to get this break. Thought is was a bit funny. Just my $0.02

    I love the thrill and anticipation of chutes opening, gracefully, and majestically slow a large massive capsule to a safe gentle landing. To me, watching chutes open and slow the Gemini and Apollo capsules to a safe splashdown after a challenging mission, aggressive violent re-entry - is like saluting the men and women for a Mission well done. Please, please continue this series on the importance, technical needs of large parachutes! Thanks for sharing.

    Nothing beats the feeling you get when looking up at the chute deploying after pulling the cord, followed by the firm pull and the decrease of wind noise. Looking at some of the slow-motion movies of the parachute testing is like watching art. :)

    Great video! As a child of Apollo, I was fascinated with all things space travel, but I was especially fascinated with parachutes. Every trip to the library yielded a haul of whatever books mentioned parachutes - spacecraft, smoke jumpers, paratroopers, skydivers, whatever. When my mother mentioned that she had an uncle who had been a paratrooper, I couldn’t wait to talk to him and get all my questions answered. He was very patient with me. :D This video really cleared up a lot of remaining questions for me!

      Speaking as a Kiwi, I totally agree with you Simon. Peter has really done a great thing for the small satellite industry and has put New Zealand in the world news. But, like some earlier New Zealand business eg Hamilton jet boats, we have to get the backing of US investors to make it happen. Our 4.8 million population is still too small. Yes, I saw that Tim Dodd interview, it was great. Peter and Elon are very meticulous 'engineers' of 'making it happen'. A rare breed. And Kevin got a good score for his 'favourite subject' and the interview with Peter on the recovery chutes.

    This is the first time I’ve seen a deep dive into parachute systems. Great documentary!

    Happy Memorial Day Kevin! Great informative video bro! You put a lot of time into this one! Amazing! Perfect time for DM 2 this Wednesday SpaceX Falcon 9 Crew Dragon launch!! (Fingers crossed)

    Great video Kevin, editing was great, props if you did it all! The music was good and not distracting and I liked that you had some snippets of interviews interspersed throughout (more would be cool like the skydivers perspective). I love tuning in for all the rocket and space news and I would also love to see more of this type of content if you would be interested in producing it (and if you have the time).

    You did a fantastic job on that video !!
    Totally opened my eyes on how modern and complex chute design can be

    AWESOME video! Yes, chutes are where it's at! The trip isn't complete until you're back safe on the ground. Four years of flying skydivers... and four years of having a military "round" strapped to my back, that fortunately, I never had to use.

    Great job and an interesting doc. Thank you. That must have been a time consuming endeavor. Well worth it. I personally would also like to thank lawyer wife. Someone needed to. :D

    This was actually a very comprehensive video for this channel. I'm impressed.
    Just don't go nuts and make a 1 hour ep on rocket pollution.
    Even I couldn't finish that one.
