IKR? But hey, their computers only need to control and keep track of things meanwhile Ksp needs to do all that as well as render graphics and simulate physics
The facebook app on your phone take more computing power than Apollo did.. computer tech back then was incredibly simple and limited compared to today's computers.
It didn't have this stupid bent on for building "human-friendly" interfaces. Back in the Apollo era, you had to understand memory register addresses and how a computer works at its core (get it? core wire memory modules?) in order to provide any input. No circuit or subroutine was used for providing a fancy UI... No real controls aside from mission-imperative instructions... These computers were remarkable in their own respect for their simplicity and robust rigidity, flying in the face of technical challenges of the day (humans had never flown past the VARBs, so all we had to go on for systems design notes were what we were able to beam back via telemetry gathered on the first few unmanned lunar probes). It is just insane to think that concepts like the glass cockpit of the STS era were leaps beyond the original Apollo guidance and flight computers -- and fast-forwarding to the CrewDragon/Dragon2 control interfaces being touch-screen... I love Gordon Moore.
Am a retired NYC paramedic. Had to pause this while I worked thru how to handle such an emergency. Then think of other obituary-of-an-idiots that I've prevented. None were this exotic.
Your nephew "I always knew what i wanted to be" was pure genius, As a photographer i can take in the thought and process behind it but as a human it's bloody wonderful, actually got the feels going here.
As a patron, I'm now even more enthusiastic about my support. When you brought out the vacuum cleaner in the vacuum chamber, I laughed 'til I cried - well done and keep it up.
I am SO glad I'm not the only full grown space nerd on this planet. I actually live really close to the launch site of one of America's first pre-NASA missions. Manhigh ll was launched from an open pit mine in Crosby, MN in August 1957. My husband thought I was crazy when we had to drive through Crosby and I begged to go look for where the site might be. Of course we didn't. But it is so exciting to me that I can look at a place near by and say "This is it! This is where we actually started looking for ways to get people into space!" The men that flew in project manhigh never left the stratosphere, but they paved the way to get higher. I look forward to more videos from you. My daughter and I enjoy watching them together.
Man, that's awesome. Your photo "I always knew what I wanted to be," and your journey to what you're doing now, is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story!
I'm currently a "hopeful to become pro photog" and the first five minutes of this sold me to keep trying the photog thing, and to keep watching your vids. Great work!
dude! what an awesome talk! not only are you great @ photography and video production with informative but accessible information in an entertaining way, but you are a great communicator on par with the likes of Bill Nye, Carl Sagan, and Neil Degrasse Tyson. we are truly lucky and proud to have you on team science!
Great job, Tim! My father was a former Launch Director (shuttle era) and i, like you, am a huge space fan! Thanks for championing all things space. Best of luck to you.
I got to stand out in the early evening, on 8 mile road, on the border between Ferndale & Detroit Michigan, and watch as the small, sparkling dot crossed the darkening sky; the Apollo-Soyuz spacecraft. There are only a few images stuck in my head from the passing decades, and that one still stays there, sharp and memorable...Thanks for the talk & memories!
Awesome to see how you evolved into the channel you are today. I may have seen 1 or 2 of your videos until I saw my nephew wearing one of your hoodies. So I've started watching more and more of you videos. For the record, I am actually an aerospace engineering major living in Huntsville AL finishing up my degree and I am loving the channel of the 3 time college drop-out. Keep up the good work! And props for the KSP plug. lol It has caused a few of my grades to be lower due to playing it when I should have been studying. My other brother (systems engineer for SLS) warned me to start playing it in the middle of a semester. :-/
minute and half into video, i almost died of laughter :D i love this concept that you are making, your whole channel and you as person. You are that kind of a man that earth needs more of. Gigantic support from Slovakia
Rewatching this today, knowing you are part the the Dear Moon Mission, nearly brought me to tears. A bearer is not always a box; sometimes you can get around it just by going in a different direction. By the time Dear Moon launches (fingers crossed), my daughter should be about 4-5; she is going to see real examples of space exploration I only dreamed of as a kid, and I am so excited for it.
I didn't realize you were down here in Sarasota in December. Great talk. I hope you plan to be here in a couple weeks for the Falcon heavy launch. Just don't suffocate yourself in your own space suit.
Just watching through a load of your very early videos with a view to creating a series of DVDs of them for my dad who lives alone and can’t really cope with the internet (I asked your permission during a recent stream and you very kindly said yes! 😊). This is such a beautiful talk, so refreshing even now to hear someone just enthuse about what they love doing! My dad will love it, and (like me) especially the closing sentiment relating to Apollo-Soyuz. Thank you.
Really great talk Tim! Was funny, but also gave me insight into your journey, which I was actually quite curious about. Love all the easter eggs in your photos. I'm not as much of a spacegeek yet as I'd like to be, but maybe in the future I'll be able to decipher the easter eggs all by myself haha
Also, do you have any recommendations for resources for learning more about space travel history? Sometimes it feels like there has happened so much, in such a short time, that it is kind of vague and overwhelming. I learn best by watching videos (also prefer it for this since you actually get to see the events), but if there's a great and structured book about this, I would love that too!
3 years later this entire video remains relevant. Thank you for your dedication to sharing the beauty and inspiration that space exploration provides. You are an inspiration to many and create meaningful connections to complex topics!
I found you by accident about 6 months ago and wanted to say.... YOU inspire us all, "Everyday people." I thought I lost my passion for Space when I was 10..... now.... Its back. 29 years later. THANK YOU!
Wow! Nice talk, I really liked your videos before, but this puts so much more character in them when I (as a viewer) get to know you a little bit. I am a photo enthusiast myself and your photos inspired me a bit, so thank you for all that! I hope to learn a lot more about space from you. :)
Very cool learning about you and how Everyday Astronaut came to be. Running out of oxygen is bad news. I lost two friends some years back. They went down to get preserves from the cellar, which did not have any kind of ventilation. Some rotting vegetables consumed all of the oxygen and the entire space was mostly carbon dioxide. When I was doing construction I almost died from a heater using up the oxygen. I was in a hoarded in basement digging trenches, -40 outside so everything was as sealed as possible. At some point I became confused and I noticed I was breathing but going under and the flame to the heater went out. I barely made it up the stairs to breathe fresh air. I have been checking out your channel and am very glad I subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Beautifully put about space bringing us together at the end. Never thought about it like that I've always loved space since a kid because of the beauty of it and the mystery. Now i just love it that much more because it does bring us together!
So i ran into a video of yours yesterday while we were waiting for the (sadly) no-go for the dragon module demo-2 launch. So yeah, i am 11 videos in now and started wondering who you are and how you rolled into this. As a result this is probably my favorite video till date that is on the channel (only have a ton more to watch, we'll see in a year). What i liked about this video and why (for now) it is my favorite; You explain how you got here, how you were and still are this normal guy that loves space and that knows how to handle a camera. On top of that you have a sense of humor and you are good as a speaker on stage (and in the videos, i wondered where you got that skill) Keep it up (i know this vid is 2+ years old and you will probably not see the comment). Also, from your website i gather it is a whole team effort, could you make an introduction video on the channel, showing off the fantastic people you work with (or at least tell us about them)
I really like the "I always knew what I'll be" picture. Its cute, but its really nice, I haven't seen you pics, I entered spacex reddit when I started interacting with a new videogame that is a space sim an got me interested in space ever since I was...5 or 6? and I discovered your videos..Really nice talk man
About a minute in I realized I had already watched this video. Video ends and I still enjoy it. Keep up the fun! I haven't checked but I am pretty sure most smart phones today have more processing power than all the computers used for Apollo also.
I just came across this video and I thought of two things. First, I lived in Waterloo back in the early 1980s so yeah, your description of CF is accurate. :-) Second, since I am almost officially old now, when I heard you describe how you acquired the spacesuit in the first place I remember reading this book in my youth that has a similar story - "Have Space Suit-Will Travel" by Robert Heinlein.
DerSchleichende well, i know his suit is real, and that is awesome, but what i meant is, a replica of a nasa one that looks _exactly_ the same, but doesnt cook him on his own juices,
Last night, I watched parts of your coverage of the launch of the Demo 2 mission, and wondered to myself how you got to be where you are in this business today. This video answered a good deal that question. I am between careers right now, but I do some science and astronomy education for our local planetarium. NASA is always looking for outreach people, like for instance, their "Solar System Ambassadors" program, and I frequently run into NASA folks in my astronomy endeavors. I've been a space buff since the Apollo days. Perhaps there is a (paying) future for me in this kind of education. Thanks for the inspiration!
That photography’s amazing. There’s definitely a Norman Rockwell touch of magic about it, but in this era. It’s the talent of an artist Tim. I watch your other TH-cam stuff, EA, OLF and all the cool launch stuff live. Science Communication is a great way of putting it, with your gift for communicating with people, and visual art/photography n now videography. It’s pretty impressive. Keep up the good work, it does inspire here at home and hope onto the great beyond:)
December 17, 2022. It's been five years since this presentation, and a few things have changed in the world of space flight... The biggest, IMHO, is your selection for a seat on the Dearmoon trip around the Moon. Everyday Astronaut indeed! It's been a great time following your antics from the beginning, and I know the best is yet to come. It's time to earn your astronaut wings.
Weird Coincident lol. Just checking back in to let you know that this video basically answered the questions I had. I'm originally from Myanmar so loved that you went there to educate kids about rocket science.
I think this is even better that he gets to actually go to space now. Not only did his career path change to science communication. But it got bumped up to PHD level doing science communication in space. Yeah nasa and the rest are down grading the crew if they don’t do any work then they aren’t considered astronauts but we all know in our hearts. It’s still exclusive enough to keep that title. Many of the modern astronauts aren’t qualified pilots or commanders yet they keep the title. Hopefully the mission command of this group are smart enough to train them to “operate” the space craft and do a project in space as a crew. This will meet the requirements to be officially labeled an astronaut.
I also got stuck in my old Soviet era spacesuit. I jumped into mine as soon as it arrived -- and just before a meeting online. It was too small for me and I almost couldn't get out of it once I was in it. I very nearly had to do the meeting in a spacesuit. I put the helmet on once and got such a bad case of claustrophobia that I never tried it again.
Hi Tim! I had no idea you were a photographer in your former life. As a fellow photographer, I love the shots you showed in this video. Do you have a web site or some place online where we can see more of your work? Maybe of former clients as well? I'd love to see them. I suppose I could look you up on Instagram... 😊 -Brian
I started watching this, new to the channel... then heard cedar falls, iowa checking in from waterloo over here. didn't know there was anyone who was recently born here that was actually well known.
Great symbolism in the apollo 13 picture. Surprised no-one has mentioned that it's wrong though. April 20 is the last day of aries, with taurus following it. Also, apollo 13 was safely back by the 17th, so it all took place in aries.
Fair enough about the date, easy done. However, nothing I can find about the zodiac suggests a change in recent memory. Yes, there's an inevitable procession of the stars, but that's a slow process as I'm sure you know. There does seem to be 'fake news' that pops up every so often about how 'NASA has changed the zodiac'. It's just that though, fake. The reason it stood out to me is that I was born only a decade after apollo 13, in April, and have always been told that I am Aries. Got to represent my star sign, yo!
Brilliant absolutely loved this.. I used to be well into photography and putting captions to them was one of my favourite parts.. but compared to yours I sucked lol.. another passion of mine was and still is space exploration..at the age of 7 seeing Armstrong step onto the moon making a giant leap for mankind was the touch paper of my love of rockets 🚀 and Space travel.. I've been following your TH-cam channel for only a few weeks but already each day I look forward to seeing your content.. Thanks for all of your time and energy.. keep up the great work.. 👍 P.s everything crossed for today's launch of SpaceX SN11 having a perfect sub orbital flight and a perfect landing.. 🚀👨🚀
My sister lives in Waterloo, IA right now! I am in Algona, IA, Kosuth County, the largest town in the largest county in Iowa. We are 60 miles from the border of Minnesota and about 1 hour from the nearest walmart. No I am not joking or making any of this up. Just remember, in a shakespeare festival in Iowa, never shout "lend me your ear!" unless you plan on being pelted with corn. Also, the biggest towns and cities in Iowa are in the middle third of Iowa, whether east or west, the more touristy places are in the lower third and des moinse, and Souix City did not get the first memo.
I owned a helmet exactly like that AND the inner G-suit that went with it. The g-suit was grey and draped in airhoses, that were inside little fabric loops. When they were inflated, the suit would tighten up. The helmet had a nasty triangular hole in the top. Did not look good for whomever wore it when that was made. I was told it was a MIG25 suit, but it was clear it was not the whole thing. Collar was on the helmet.
If a modern day laptop has more computing power than the computers that ran the entire Apollo space program, does that mean that I can control a Saturn V with a laptop?
I love how KSP takes more computing power to run then the entire Apollo space program
IKR? But hey, their computers only need to control and keep track of things
meanwhile Ksp needs to do all that as well as render graphics and simulate physics

You'd have a ridiculously high resolution two-digit LCD display and incredibly tactile buttons.
Great video! I laughed out loud at a few of those pictures. Well done Tim.
Hi Jared love your videos
If they ever have a NASA escape room I know who I'm bringing

I second that, this shot is pure genius!
This is a fantastic photo. So well planned and shot and it tells such a wonderful story.
as someone who only watched your live spacex launch videos, I had no idea of your past work, very good talk.
I'm incredibly surprised too. Very good speaker and amazing photographer
As a patron, I'm now even more enthusiastic about my support. When you brought out the vacuum cleaner in the vacuum chamber, I laughed 'til I cried - well done and keep it up.
So does a vacuum cleaner in a vacuum chamber become a dirtier blower? I think it would.

That’s one way to go.

LOL watched the full video and in the last 60 seconds thought how many time did the camera operator said "STAND STILL" LOL
Made my morning!
So i ran into a video of yours yesterday while we were waiting for the (sadly) no-go for the dragon module demo-2 launch.

That was a great talk and great photos! Good to learn more about what you do too.

You should ask NASA to give you a mockery suit! One that looks exactly as the real deal, but you know, wearable on earth
MrQuequito there are company's that make fakes, but his high altitude suit is real so I would prefer that to a fake suit.
DerSchleichende well, i know his suit is real, and that is awesome, but what i meant is, a replica of a nasa one that looks _exactly_ the same, but doesnt cook him on his own juices,
MrQuequito he could buy a water-cooled body suit and where it under the suit.
DerSchleichende you mean a “liquid cooled ventilation garnet”
Or spacex suit.

I'm originally from Myanmar so loved that you went there to educate kids about rocket science.
Brilliant oration, great humor, touching imagery!
I think this is even better that he gets to actually go to space now. Not only did his career path change to science communication. But it got bumped up to PHD level doing science communication in space. Yeah nasa and the rest are down grading the crew if they don’t do any work then they aren’t considered astronauts but we all know in our hearts. It’s still exclusive enough to keep that title. Many of the modern astronauts aren’t qualified pilots or commanders yet they keep the title. Hopefully the mission command of this group are smart enough to train them to “operate” the space craft and do a project in space as a crew. This will meet the requirements to be officially labeled an astronaut.
Great talk. Space is not for space scientists only, just like an airline is not for pilots only. Keep up the good work.
I also got stuck in my old Soviet era spacesuit. I jumped into mine as soon as it arrived -- and just before a meeting online. It was too small for me and I almost couldn't get out of it once I was in it. I very nearly had to do the meeting in a spacesuit. I put the helmet on once and got such a bad case of claustrophobia that I never tried it again.
Hi Tim! I had no idea you were a photographer in your former life. As a fellow photographer, I love the shots you showed in this video. Do you have a web site or some place online where we can see more of your work? Maybe of former clients as well? I'd love to see them.
I suppose I could look you up on Instagram... 😊

Hey thanks Brian!I have two sites: everydayastronaut.com and timdoddphotography.com where you can see both types of photography 👍
Amazing photography!!! Both your EA stuff and your 'normal' photos. That guy with the bear head... lolz.
I started watching this, new to the channel... then heard cedar falls, iowa checking in from waterloo over here. didn't know there was anyone who was recently born here that was actually well known.
Great symbolism in the apollo 13 picture. Surprised no-one has mentioned that it's wrong though. April 20 is the last day of aries, with taurus following it. Also, apollo 13 was safely back by the 17th, so it all took place in aries.
I misspoke the date and I believe the astrological calendar has changed...
Fair enough about the date, easy done.
However, nothing I can find about the zodiac suggests a change in recent memory. Yes, there's an inevitable procession of the stars, but that's a slow process as I'm sure you know.
There does seem to be 'fake news' that pops up every so often about how 'NASA has changed the zodiac'. It's just that though, fake.
The reason it stood out to me is that I was born only a decade after apollo 13, in April, and have always been told that I am Aries. Got to represent my star sign, yo!
Fantastic presentation and Congrats on your success in a field you never expected to be in. You're an inspiration to all.

Very creative, love your humor and ideas.
Brilliant absolutely loved this.. I used to be well into photography and putting captions to them was one of my favourite parts.. but compared to yours I sucked lol.. another passion of mine was and still is space exploration..at the age of 7 seeing Armstrong step onto the moon making a giant leap for mankind was the touch paper of my love of rockets 🚀 and Space travel..
I've been following your TH-cam channel for only a few weeks but already each day I look forward to seeing your content.. Thanks for all of your time and energy.. keep up the great work.. 👍
P.s everything crossed for today's launch of SpaceX SN11 having a perfect sub orbital flight and a perfect landing.. 🚀👨🚀

Really enjoyed this, Tim. Great message at the end and very applicable in all human pursuits in and out of space.
Here in 2023. Such a fun video! Cool find.
My sister lives in Waterloo, IA right now! I am in Algona, IA, Kosuth County, the largest town in the largest county in Iowa. We are 60 miles from the border of Minnesota and about 1 hour from the nearest walmart. No I am not joking or making any of this up. Just remember, in a shakespeare festival in Iowa, never shout "lend me your ear!" unless you plan on being pelted with corn. Also, the biggest towns and cities in Iowa are in the middle third of Iowa, whether east or west, the more touristy places are in the lower third and des moinse, and Souix City did not get the first memo.
Your an inspiration to us all Tim, keep doing what your doing you madlad!
It's so weird/crazy rewatching this now.
Good to hear the stories and keep up the live streams and videos!
I owned a helmet exactly like that AND the inner G-suit that went with it. The g-suit was grey and draped in airhoses, that were inside little fabric loops. When they were inflated, the suit would tighten up. The helmet had a nasty triangular hole in the top. Did not look good for whomever wore it when that was made. I was told it was a MIG25 suit, but it was clear it was not the whole thing. Collar was on the helmet.
If a modern day laptop has more computing power than the computers that ran the entire Apollo space program, does that mean that I can control a Saturn V with a laptop?
As much as I'd like that space suit, I'm wondering where you got that jacket. It's a pretty sweet jacket.
One of the funniest parts about this story is that there's a whole bunch of people with pictures of them at the NASA Space Center with a cosmonaut
Thank you for this. Keep being you and doing what you love.
Summary
1. Locked the helmet and almost suffocated, but found an airhose
2. Almost cooked himself in a spacesuit oven because he wanted just one photo
Tim, this is a FALCON fantastic talk!! :)

Well done, Tim! Thanks!
