    It's good to see, that you are following safety protocol. You don't want to lose an eye because of a rubber shrapnel or water projectile. Btw: How did they enter orbit, before "NASA had to invent a heat shield"? 2:02

  • @zachhoffman8514

    I'm just wondering how the capsule can control the engines if the bottom of the capsule needs to be clear so that the heat shield can protect the capsule on rentry

    how does the earth’s atmosphere moves in conjunction with the land and bodies of water, and we cannot feel this movement but at some point in the upper atmosphere the spinning stops and the vacuum of space starts.

    0:14 Neil Armstrong was NOT "the first man on the moon": he was the first man to WALK on the moon - he and Buzz Aldrin LANDED at the same time, and to be fair to Buzz, you might want to make that distinction.

  • @ziggyjinx
    @ziggyjinx ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m confused
    Can you re enter earths atmosphere at any speed you want… ??
    Can’t you slow down to say 5 MPH to the edge of earths atmosphere and gently drop through ? If you start speeding up why dropping whilst re entry just fire reverse rockets and say like keep your speed within say 100 MPH
    I don’t understand why we have to re enter earths atmosphere so fast ?? If we bounce off by going to slow then can we walk in this atmosphere ??
    Please help thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    • @AtomicFrontier
      @AtomicFrontier  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup! Any speed is fine, issue is if you're taking (literally thousands of kilograms of) fuel to slow down with then you're missing out on more fun payloads like science and people. So typically we just come in way too fast but with cool things

      Most of the heat is "carried" away by gases from the heatshield.

    • @AtomicFrontier
      @AtomicFrontier  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi! Good question. Its based on the asteroid design mentioned in the video which helps keen it oriented. As long as you dont come in with the pointy bit directly ahead, then there will be a lift imbalance to tip it back upright.

  • @smokymountain4222
    @smokymountain4222 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why does the craft have to go so fast on re entry. Can't they just drop down into the atmosphere and control the speed??obviously they can't. Just want to know why..

    • @marcusw3891
      @marcusw3891 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have asked the same question and do not know the answer. I suspect that maybe they do not have the extra fuel to slow down to match the earths speed of rotation (1000 miles per hour at the equator). I also wonder that since air is much denser than space possibly if you matched the speed of rotation maybe you might just float on the air like a boat does in water or if off a bit might just skip off the surface like skipping a rock on water. A lot of questions, like you I wish someone would making a video addressing this.

    Now my son think deep. How did apollo13 re enter with zero controls at what speed i dont know and align it through a window? I remember apollo 11 and tell you the truth its all crap. No juman can go through the van Allen belt. Our sun is like a microwave x 100000

    • @the18thdoctor3
      @the18thdoctor3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Zero controls? What are you talking about? They had the CM’s RCS for attitude control, and used a lifting-body reentry to stay on course. On the return coast phase, they did several burns with the LM to correct the trajectory. Do some research, please.
      You should also do some actual research about the van Allen belts. They consist of charged particle radiation, so all you need to be protected from them is a few millimeters of aluminum shielding.
      The fact is that the Apollo missions were real, the technology was real, the evidence is real.
