Did you guys see SmarterEveryDay’s video with Linus? The donuts were facing one way or the other, made to spin either clockwise or counterclockwise as a 1 or a 0. It’s still very fascinating that it works.

Knitting is a very useful skill. It's how I keep my hands busy while watching SciShow. Sadly, no one's asked me to knit a memory coil for a space ship.
2019 isn't only the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, but also of the 60th anniversary of Luna 2: the first spacecraft to land on the moon.
Wow... Amazing details.. Scientist done great work to do achieve this mission.. Without technology like we have now they done guidance system perfectly using core rope computer memory... Thanks scishow space for this awesome episode and educating us.. Can't wait to see documentary...🙏👍😊
My Step-grandfather was one of the engineers who worked from Mercury all the way to Spacelab. We actually have an autographed book of Alan Bean’s artwork thanking him for his work.
I have a huge framed copy of the photo from 9:57 in my hallway. Von Braun standing with mankind's crowning achievement of the 20th century is just an awesome picture
Yeah he didnt care that his V2's they were killing my fellow Brits (one nearly killed my Grandmother). The scum should have been executed along with the others at Neurenburg but instead is rewarded by the Americans for being "useful".
Von Braun grew up during the model rocket craze using liquid fuel. Made sense for him to go down the path of wanting to make large scale stuff, even though V1 was a jet engine as opposed to the V2's rocket.

I've just bailed at 3:14. The breathless pace, the manic cutting of any & all natural pauses & the forced rictus grins are just too much. You've made one of my favourite subjects completely unwatchable! Here's a thought, human speech & the communication of ideas using it isn't a "shove it in a.s.a.p." process. Something is happening during the breaks that occur at the end of words, sentences, paragraphs & chapters. It's the very basis of consciousness. This is the models that the brain constructs of what it would be like if we were in that situation or what could happen next after certain parameters have been set up. This is not an instantaneous phenomenon and it's what is happening in the brain of someone seeking to understand something. By cutting out the natural pauses, breathing & even the ums and ers you're not allowing the time for cognition to happen. This results in a failure of your stated goals...
Les Hemmings SciShow has never had “ums” and other pauses in its delivery. And in high school public speaking class, I got demerits for them. Also, their pacing has always been governed by getting as much info as possible into a 3-5 minute episode. This is a suite of such episodes stitched together.
@@GratiaCountryman I hardly think demerits in a stylised social construct such as public speaking counters an argument based on the roots of human cognition! If you listen to the part I gave up on it's rushed & so full of jumpcut edits as to make it damn near unintelligible!
@@GratiaCountryman Here, see how someone with an actual "feel" for the subject does it. This is how to convey information. Not the "Oooh! We're so excited we can't even take a breath!" childish diatribe that , sadly, you're becoming! th-cam.com/video/yqxb2Cyj-BQ/w-d-xo.html
Hank is doing what Hank does. he starts a project, kick starts it by bringing his audience from previous ventures, works on it until it is successful on its own power, then slowly tapers his involvement while redirecting his efforts into a new project. (that's just an observation, i dont know if he does it on purpose, but he's done that with a lot of the channels in the Complexly network.) I believe his newest is Journey to the Microcosmos, which is absolutely beautiful. :)
Dude, did you ever get to go to space camp? If you didn't, I would like to take you and my wife cuz I remember very clearly you said you really want to go to space camp. :)
One of the things learned in the Mercury missions was that the space suits designed for them weren't very good, as, with the suit pressurized, it was difficult for the astronaut to move his arms. Kilograms of thrust. AKH! A kilogram is not a unit of force. A kilogram is a unit of mass. The metric unit of force is the newton. A newton is the force required to accelerate 1 kg at a rate of 1 meter per second per second. At least you pronounced von Braun correctly, a rare accomplishment among English speakers, especially Americans. Dunked in bleach!! I never heard that before. I do remember that there was a concern about Moon germs escaping on Earth, and the modified Airstream trailer used to isolate the astronauts on the recovery ship. The thing that struck me at the time was that they rode back to the ship in a helicopter and were on the ship for several minutes before they went into the trailer. I thought, "What are they going to do about the helicopter, the copter crew, and both the flight deck and hanger deck of the ship?" It seemed to me an odd mix of caution and laxity.
We spent 9 billion dollars to send men to the moon. I've heard people for 50 years complain that it hasn't helped at all, what a waste. Do a program on all of the spinoff industries that have fueled our economy : computers, micro processors, communication, satellites, etc., etc..
There is a very good chance it won't happen. 2024 is really close. A very good chance that Congress will nix any effort that doesn't include the SLS, a rocket system that is grotesquely over budget and very likely won't be ready by 2024. I strongly suspect a private enterprise will be the first back to the Moon in a big way. They'll be bent on exploiting the resources most especially the ices believed to be at the lunar south pole.
One quibble, the 100% Oxygen atmosphere was not, in and of itself, any more dangerous than a normal mix at 1 atmosphere of pressure. This was because on a full mission it would only be at 0.2atm, so amount of Oxygen within the volume would be the exact same, and so it would have the same risk of fire either way. The test was at 1.2atm so that the *difference* in pressure would be the same during the test as it would be in space. *This,* as the video said as the second point, was what caused it to be dangerous. Also, Apollo only used the 40% Oxygen, 60% Nitrogen mix while still in the atmosphere, and went back to 100% oxygen at lower pressures in space.
I know the segment came from years ago, but you could have added a text correction in this compilation. In the episode about Saturn, thrust was described as measured in "kilograms" instead of newtons. I can understand the easy job of "translating" some press-released number in pounds "naturally" into kilos. But thrust is a measure of force, and "pound" happens to be used as a unit of mass in some context and as a unit of force in another. Don't fall for this American trap.
What if the moon was already there, just smaller, and something came along and hit earth on the opposite side, and some of what flew off coalesced onto the moon Would that work? Why or why not?
I too cant wait till you get to Mars :P Totally jokin, i would so consider going there myself. It would be bleak, hard, and a little bit loney, but ill be building something for the future and that would be worth it!
It’s hard for me to believe that Americans named a flight “little Joe” or “big Joe” - Joe Stalin was the bad guy (USSR used his name for some military projects). Who was the American “Joe” referring to?
Oxygen is not "basically super flammable". It is Super oxidizing. Please do not propagate the myth that oxygen is a flammable gas. If the name of the channel is "Sci-show" you are obligated to get the science right. Thanks Sci-show, (mostly), for what you do.
Thanks for the great compilation, although I don't see how you can blame anyone for trying to save themselves in the 2WW by working for the nazies. If this was your only chance of surviving I assume you would happily work on such projects as well. (OK, maybe not happily) Anyway, I waited for this documentary ever since you announced it, so can't wait for tomorrow, and thank you [:
Werner was asked about that a lot. He got a letter in the mail asking him to join. If you didn’t reply you got a “visit” asking WHY? Then they go went through your records! Anyone not working for the war effort or was unfit was scrutinized throughly. BY GERMANS! He didn’t have that much say so.
There is nothing wrong with being skeptical, that's part of our nature as humans... so, can you tell us why aren't you convinced? Maybe we can help you with that.
@@zeendaniels5809 Great, Thank You! I think there are a lot of things that do not get along with the moon landing. some point in this video: th-cam.com/video/r_sazQnHKTM/w-d-xo.html
Don't say that he's hypocritical Say rather that he's apolitical "Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department" says Wernher von Braun
"Borrowing heavily from the work of an American rocket scientist, Robert Goddard..." I may be wrong here, but I think Von Braun didn't know about Goddard and his work on liquid fuel rockets until he emigrated to the USA after the war. He was duly impressed by Goddard's research though, once he learned about it.
Von Braun mentor and source of inspiration was Herman Oberth not Robert Goddard, today is known only for the Oberth effect from the people that play in Kerbal.
Am I the only one who never realized how tall that guy is, or how short that lady is? I'm sure I've scene 100's of videos by these people, but never with both of them side by side in the same frame. :)
Between the unmanned missions and the manned missions there was the Chimpanzeed mission, with Ham, the space chimp! You can't talk about space missions without mentioning Ham the first American Chimpanzee into space.
My cards on the table, I'm a huge fan of manned spaceflight, my favorite part is the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo era, I think it was one of the greatest achievements humans have ever achieved, it can hold its own next to any other endeavor humanity has ever achieved. All that being said, while Neil said "We come in peace for all mankind", that just isn't true. The US manned spaceflight program was a military endeavor, one of the fronts of the cold war with the Soviets. Any and all scientific advancements made during that time were entirely incidental to the only real goal of "beating the Russians". Nowadays, with the coldwar being largely behind us, we look back at it as a scientific adventure, and there is some truth to that idea, they did do science, we did learn things we would still probably not know if it hadn't of happened, not just in lunar geology (moonology? lunology?) but in engineering, manufacturing, and many other areas of technology that have gone from the cutting edge to the everyday. All that science was far from cheap, Nasa in 1963 took 10 percent of the US budget on its way to making this happen, each launch cost nearly a billion dollars, it's easy to see why some would argue against expending so much of the national treasure for a better understanding of moon quakes and some rocks, if that were all it was doing I'd likely agree. With many of the advancements not making it into our lives until well after Apollo ended it can be hard for many to draw a connection between them. With the Soviets collapsing, the public being largely apathetic and the need for moon rocks being quite low it is understandable that the US has never returned after Apollo 17, they don't have to prove their technology is superior so they don't need big expensive projects to display it. With Russia becoming richer and China becoming a global power maybe they'll feel the need to send people there to grandstand their own capabilities, maybe Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos will too, either way I'm sure people will return one day.

All that science was far from cheap, Nasa in 1963 took 10 percent of the US budget on its way to making this happen, each launch cost nearly a billion dollars, it's easy to see why some would argue against expending so much of the national treasure for a better understanding of moon quakes and some rocks, if that were all it was doing I'd likely agree.
With many of the advancements not making it into our lives until well after Apollo ended it can be hard for many to draw a connection between them.
With the Soviets collapsing, the public being largely apathetic and the need for moon rocks being quite low it is understandable that the US has never returned after Apollo 17, they don't have to prove their technology is superior so they don't need big expensive projects to display it.
With Russia becoming richer and China becoming a global power maybe they'll feel the need to send people there to grandstand their own capabilities, maybe Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos will too, either way I'm sure people will return one day.
