    Wait up a second, just dropping in a picture of Keith Moore climbing in/out of a bi-plane with no context? Bi-plane pilot, scuba diver - Keith Moore, international man of mystery? Inquiring minds must know.

    At 5:27, in the upper righthand corner of the map, we can observe the "Chat Moss". The Chat Moss was the location of an amazing feat of 1830 British engineering. Robert Stephenson (of Rocket fame) had to cross this enormous bog to finish the Liverpool to Manchester rail service! A prodigious effort crossing the bog, considered bottomless, was accomplished by essentially floating the rails in the worlds first practical railway. He changed the World!

    • @brontitall
      @brontitall 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the info, it inspired me to read more on the topic. Based on Wikipedia though, it seems like it was Robert's son George, who did the engineering.

    • @WhatAboutTheBee
      @WhatAboutTheBee 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@brontitall Correct you are. I wrote that from memory, obviously proven faulty. I thought it helpful to mention Rocket, putting it in perspective. Still a marvelous effort by the entire firm, with *George* Stephenson as Chief Engineer. After looking it up, we have Robert Stannard as the subcontractor who actually constructed the line across Chat Moss.
      There aren't many truly fundamentally world changing events, but the LMR was absolutely one of them.

    "An aerostat (From Greek ἀήρ aer (air) + στατός statos (standing) through French) is a lighter than air aircraft that gains its lift through the use of a buoyant gas."

    Now, I know Matt Parker has done a whole bit about the probability of a particular date being at least one person's birthday given a population of a certain size, but what is the probability of releasing a video on some random person's birthday about a topic that they are particularly keen on? I would have also taken a video about spaceflight, but aviation is my true passion and I absolutely loved this one.
    Also, I liked the unusual birthday candles over on Periodic Videos.

    Brady has an incredible knack for finding people who are perfectly suited to what they do. I'm thinking of Matt Parker, James Grime, Ed Copeland, Becky Smethurst, and, of course, the one and only Keith Moore.
    I've left out titles and honorifics and the like because I can't be bothered looking up exactly how I'm supposed to refer to them. No offence intended, it's just laziness, pure and simple.

    • @Dave_Sisson
      @Dave_Sisson 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In certain contexts the letter s was elongated (the first s of a double s and sometimes if an s was the start of a word). To modern eyes the "long s" can look like an italic f, but if you look carefully, it does not have a stroke in the middle like an f does. I think the use of the long s was in decline by the late 1700s as it was rarely used after that time.
