Books what I wrote, yo ► tinyurl.com/yc...
More spacey stuff and some recommendations below ►
Enormous liberties have been taken with this one; some of the footage isn’t from Apollo 11 (the mission we chat about here), but subsequent missions to the moon. Footage was really quite difficult to find, so hopefully you can forgive me playing a little visually loose with the truth.
Also the Soviet space program was barely even mentioned in the video. I’ve often thought it’s a bit sad that the Soviet Union got the first satellite into space, the first doggos (let’s not discuss it), the first man, the first woman, the first probe to the moon, the first spacewalk, and the first robot on another celestial body - yet the winner’s medal generally goes to the US for reaching the moon, and doing it so brilliantly. (Which they did, and which it was.)
Not in any way meaning to discredit the US here, I’d just like to urge you to spare a thought for those other clever men and women a continent away who were - at the very same time - also taking marvellous and brave strides into space.
I’ve had quite a fascination with the Apollo program over the years, and space in general. If it’s something you’re interested in too, here’s the stuff I really, really enjoyed reading and watching. (No one’s paying me for this, I just dig them. The audiobook versions are great too.)

Before uploading this video I had a fairly long conversation with a meme-knowledgeable friend about whether dabbing would be appropriate in a thumbnail. I wasn’t sure what dabbing is.
She assured me that since an astronaut’s doing it, it’s fine.

God I always imagine what would have happened if instead of “A small step for a man, a giant leap for humanity” he said something like “Holy fucking shit we actually did it”
Beautiful
We can still say that when we get to Mars
I saw a reddit where someone said "what if the first words Neil Armstrong said was this "One- Wait what is that? wait no-no AHHH" and cut their radios out... It was pretty funny
Aniket Vishwakarma first of all, most of what’s written in that article is bullshit. Second of all, the article you’re presenting disagrees with you, since you say we will never do, and the article just says “not soon, but sometime”
@@pabloserranogarcia7557 and by sometime the article meant several thousand years later and we most probably will be extinct in few hundred years lmfao.
I’m going to have to use that quote: “we choose to go back to the moon and do those other things not because they are easy, but because they are cool.” That’s just such a good summary of why we make scientific progress if we are being honest with ourselves about it
JFK would have approved
a little too naive
That’s not the only reason though, countless advancements would not exist without space exploration, political boundaries could not be broken, profit exists commercialism lies in any new territory. Innovation, exploration, policy, politics, global warming, scientific theory. Hundreds more that make it a crime to just say, “because it’s cool.”
Space travel is the coolest thing humans will ever do.
It is a jfk speech but he replaced hard by cool.
You should really listen to his moon speech. It is one of the greatest speech to have ever existed.
I was lucky enough to not only be alive during the moon landings, but to actually watch Apollo 11 lift off over the trees and buildings of my house in Cocoa, Florida, just miles away. My nine-year-old self repeated, "I have to remember this". And I have, so many years later.
i mean, it was a rocket launch, it was apollo 11, id imagine thatd be quite memorable
@@chickencurry69420 I'd seen several Apollo launches, both before and after 11. 17 was probably the best, because it was the only night launch of a Saturn V. Amazing. I also saw the Challenger explosion with my own eyes in the skies above my house. I won't forget that one either.
I was alive to watch discovery blow up in front of my fellow 3rd graders in class. The silence was absolutely hilarious as the teacher quickly walked over to the tv to turn it off, speechless.
From Cocoa Florida, you were how far away, and could you have a fairly quiet conversation or was it like 80db? I was 15 in my grandmother’s house in Orange, Ca. There were no decent TV remotes, so my grandfather built a finished table with TV controls wired to it.
@@jedgould5531 It's less than 20 miles in a straight line. Once the sound wave reached you it would rattle the window panes (if they were cranked open). The Saturn V's were much louder than the Shuttles, but you could still converse with someone next to you. The sound is similar to an earthquake.

2:22, Bonus Urine Fact:
Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a soviet union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out of to his rocket, - Vostok 1, he realized he had to pee. He decide to relieve himself on a black tire of the bus. For the cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to the launch pad also. The tradition continues today. (Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or bile and deposit it with a throw.)
Apparently there was a somewhat similar tradition before US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand, thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.
Humans.
Edit: speeling
Thank you for that!

I learned of this from Chris Hadfields book. There are a LOT of pre launch traditions astronauts take part in. Required movies and even quarantine!

Except Gagarin was not the first human in space. Vladimir Ilyushin was. He crashed landed in china.

Oh howdy there friend
Ok but "A Boy Scout with a badge for spitting in the face of death" is one hell of a line
YEAH it is.
I actually have that badge... Well, not that exact badge since I'm in a different country, but an analog. Me and my patrol got stuck in a thunderstorm while canoeing on a lake. There was a lightning strike just a few hundred meters away, and our boat almost got toppled over from the waves. We were screaming and praying to god thinking we were going to die, we were taking in water and my friend was trying to get it out using his boot as a bucket, meanwhile l tried to keep the boat from toppling over. Never been so scared in my life, but never have I had so much fun either.
If there is a god somewhere, he either saved us that day, or he was just really pissed off with us. Either one is plausible.

My dad was an aerospace engineer in the 60s. He worked for Martin Marietta, designing ICBMs, when I was born in Denver (no shit, it says "Father's place of employment: Missile Plant" on my birth certificate). He got hired by a NASA subcontractor in 1966, and we moved to Huntsville Alabama, where all the Apollo design work was done. My daddy was a spaceman, all the kid's daddies were spacemen. He worked there all the way through the Skylab missions, then in 73, it all wound down, and he found work in the nuclear field, and we moved away.
I have a coin from him, they gave one out to all the key people, made from the metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and stamped with a caption and picture of the event.
It was a strange and exciting time to be alive.
Thank you for sharing your story.
This was one of the coolest comments I think I've ever seen on a TH-cam video, thank you.
@@avamasquerade wow. Nice of you to say, about a time when I was under 9 years old.
I was expecting epsilon dies backwards but got positivity.
Not that I’m complaining or anything

MAC AND CHEESE yeah me too haha, I at least thought it would be a depressing ending.
"Yeah, the universe is alright. Not as good as a nice fight though, eh? Come here you little..."
That shit killed me laughing.
A 'nice fight' remains in waiting though.
Reminds me of that time when an astronaut punched some dude who thought that the moon landings were fake.
“Or if you prefer speeding around the earth at about 17 times the speed of a bullet”
Ah, there’s those American measurements
Back to back World War Champs baby!
Brother that was such a good one
Lmao god bless us and our autism
It’s not even helpful.
Bullet speed is measured in feet per second “fps.” You’re plenty welcome to criticize that in it’s own right.
Average bullet speed is anywhere from 900-3,500 fps depending on caliber etc. So 17x faster than that is a HUGE range.
TheSpaceBetween bruh it was a joke
"If that doesn't unify us, nothing will."
... you're right.
Bruh imagine risking your life to be the first person to step foot on something that's not Earth, filming it, doing research, just to come back and have a bunch of wankers say "N-No you didn't"

How many things will we miss? Exploring Mars, exploring the solar system, hell, even exploring the galaxy.

I think this is kind of an insight into why humor itself is valuable beyond superficial enjoyment, or rather _why_ it is that that enjoyment is catalyzed.

About the "hostility" in the space race:
Ultimately, it was the perfect example what a "war", even a cold one, should be. A competition between scientists and engineers, not to see who can make the most intercontinental nuclear missiles, but rather who can make the best scientific vessel to go somewhere we hadn't even dreamt of going before.
It may not have been the friendliest competition in the history of humanity, but it was certainly one of the friendliest stand-ins for a war, as ultimately, it wasn't about hurting or sabotaging the others, but improving the own designs.
No it was always about power. First one to weaponize space would certainly gain an advantage.
The high ground. The Russians excelled at longevity in space, but the Americans stuck the landing.
It wasn't about fighting
The Russian scientists congratulated the Americans and then they worked together for future missions

Thank you, sir, for talking like this.
Benjamin Cushwa it’d be so easy to quote this guy in like 150 years
People, as a whole, never just casually talked like this. They did in speeches, in congress, in books, movies, and little snippets here and there. But no one ever just talked like this all the time. It takes time and practice and usually lots of revision. He probably went through multiple drafts of this script as well as the recording. It is better to appreciate the work in this light, not only to acknowledge the efforts Exurb1a (and other creatives like him) put into each of their projects, but also so that others just starting out know to not get discouraged when they first start making stuff and find out how clunky first drafts tend to be.
Joshua Lane he said more often. If you went back to the 1500’s then you visited a theatre then you’ll hear people speaking like that. If you went to a theatre nowadays then you wouldn’t hear people speaking like that
@@Espi0nage_Ninja That's not how people talked even then though. You can go to plays today and get that same experience.
Joshua Lane I hope you don’t reproduce, I mean if you went to see the most recently made play of the time. People did speak like that back then. Eg, Shakespeare!

I will unashamedly admit that when he said, “I, for one, will be crying my eyes out...” when talking about landing on Mars, not only was I thinking the exact same things, but I was crying there and then while watching this video. I’m def an emotional person, but nothing makes me well up easier than thinking about the hope that exists when the collective human endeavor to discover, explore, learn, and evolve persists. Maybe it’ll all end up cool after all ;D
I was litterally abot to tear up as well. I just ncant imagine what its going to be like. That day when a man or woman, sets their foot on Mars.
dog, I'm not an emotional person and I had tears streaming down my face
I'll be stocking tissues for that day as well ... to be hones, I tear up every single time I watch a launch of any kind.
(There's a marvellous documentary about the Saturn V Rocket - th-cam.com/video/zcoIugXUKfM/w-d-xo.html
There's launch footage in there, where you can hear the operators cheering on the rocket as it launches; it's ... quite moving.)

(Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or vial and deposit it with a throw.)
Apparently, there was a somewhat similar tradition before the US shuttle launches of playing poker until the commander lost a hand thereby using up all of the day's bad luck.

This just keep me motivated to finish my engineering major in college and be a part of this journey. Thank you exurb1a. Because there are days where I feel like giving up on it, but I always find your videos extremely motivational. You are actually making a bigger impact than you think you are. You and all other YT creators who care about Science and Space exploration, you guys are the ones speaking out to young people and making us remember why we started this journey. Thanks man.
Good luck with your degree. I hope engineering expands your horizons (coming from another engineering major). Exurb1a's channel has really helped me find my focus.
Lord FLako How do you guys do it? How do you push through your homework? I want to be an engineer too, but I am struggling so much
Big Stud for me, I have different perspectives. Yeah there are times when I don’t want to do assignments, but I view it as going to the gym, or cleaning your room. Something you don’t want to do, but is necessary. Also, remind yourself why you’re doing this to begin with. Just like the gym, it takes practice and dedication. I often find that whenever I push myself to do my assignments when I least want to, is when I end up learning the most and being happy cause I was able to make that A. “C is good enough” is not a mentality you want to have. Sure C’s are ‘good enough’, but you want to reach your full potential. And as an engineer, seeing different perspectives to a problem and solving the problem is a necessary trait you must adapt.... in other words, suck it up, do the work, cause when you look back you’ll be glad you did it, and when you look forward you’ll be ready for the next step... also don’t stress yourself, take your time and dedicate large amounts of time to studying. You’ll find yourself having fun and if you don’t already feel a passion for it, it’ll start to spark it. 👍🏽 anyways good luck, I hope this helps in some type of way.
Lord FLako Wow, that was a great response. That helps me out. Thanks for your time!

I remember being 5 years old and watching the launch on TV, then running outside to see if I could see them going to the moon. I became a sci-fi nerd ever after.
How it must have felt to witness it.
I was 7 years old when the moon landing occurred, and what really brought home the significance of the event was seeing Walter Cronkite, the "Most Trusted Man In America", being moved to tears. It was quite an event, to be sure.
A close second was watching the Falcon Heavy boosters perform a near perfect automated synchronized landing. 👍
@@roberine7241 I don't know if I saw the first landing or not. I was gaining long term memory then. ~4 y.o. Apollo 11, but I remember the later ones in 70' -'72... certainly. I was sad when they threw in the towel. The notion that it was fake is so stupid, I have to comment that the Soviets said it happened. They know how shit works and the telemetry was perfect, all shadows made sense to them. All the rocks were published to give the Theia (sp?) collision hypothesis have more evidence on the formation the moon. Most people don't know this, but w/o the moon the tilt of the earth would be chaotic.

Sorry but that is not a scientific fact, that is just your opinion
@@lowkey_entertaining9723 // Now now don't be so pessimistic, there are some points to what he said despite the world-views present here. Most likely, he's talking about all things a person can find passion in.
A person who can be passionate about astronomy will most likely turn humble at the realization of how insignificantly small the each of us are.
This most likely will apply to astronauts who have been to space.
Those who made it to the moon will leave all semblance of history that our world made, into a place entirely unknown, a place more harsh than the place we're all born from; to leave behind earth and travel to space, is to subsequently realize and acknowledge the many subsequent miracles that happen in the earth.
And anyone who is passionate about Astronomy, will at some point want to see this kind of view that captivates the hearts of astronauts alike; just breathing in a place outside of the planet is already making history itself.
But it doesn't have to be exactly that example only, nor does it have to be astrology in its entirely, it can be creative writing, singing in the music industry, dancing in a place vastly different from home such as a ballroom.
It's really just passion about this and that, someone who is passionate over something will have changed for the better, and become more assured; whether that change is good for others or not.
Neo Bilal might be wrong, but he's certainly not mistaken.

True, but, like a baby taking their first steps, those first steps are crucial. The moon may not be far galatically, but it will always serve as the biggest first in all of human history; the first time we left Earth and went to another celestial body.
We may be able to run miles or hundreds of miles, but nothing (other than taking your first breath) is more important as an accomplishment as that first step.
At one point it was thought that travelling with the speed of a shitty old steam engine would destroy the human body as a long term effect.

We would harm no one on a lifeless rock.”
