My Niece Just Graduated from the US Air Force Academy 2022 she met her husband there and they now are both Officers in the US Space Force….Congrats Gracie🫡
The US Space Force is a real branch of the military
Thanks to the former President Trumptard.
Yes, it is an off shoot of the Air Force.
@@catherinegee2741 Which is an off shoot of the Army
@@dracos24 the airforce hasn't been part of the army since shortly after ww2 .
@@dracos24 I'm an Air Force wife. Don't let my husband hear you say that. The Army and Air Force work together but are very different. The Space Force are all Air Force personal.
As someone who work(ed) for military Intelligence, if you can see/learn about the base, they LET YOU. There are hundreds of other bases that you will never know. For example, due to public pressure, the government officially acknowledged Area 51. Thats because they moved over 90% of "above top secret" projects to other locations.
When we're sharing with our four friends:
Tier 1: UK and Australia
Tier 2: NZ and those ninnies in Canada
A.K.A - Five Eyes ( including U.S.)
Lol ninnies. We still love yas Canada 🇨🇦 start spending some $$ on your military brothers we need ya
“Shrimp on the barbie” I think it annoys us Aussie’s because we don’t call them shrimp. We call them prawns
We generally don't eat shrimp, we eat more prwans, which are very different animals.
The WiFi joke is 100% accurate lol
Except wifi doesn't come from satellites lmao
The same people and technology that built the satellites are not the same that built your wifi :P
@@navs485 Even if they were, there's a whole different set of standards and financial viability. Those satellites have to consider a whole different world than what we live in.
@@navs485 and there are no concrete buildings etc absorbing the radiation of a signal from space the way there are for wifi and phone signals transmitted from local towers.
@13:14 Just remember that those exact same satellites can also read a license plate from that distance.
yeah, iirc they have something like 1 pixel = 1 cm at max, or something crazy like that.
If it ain’t blurred out on google maps...AND...it’s on TH-cam so much that Office Blokes discovered it...then it ain’t a secret 😂😎🥃
It's no secret its there. All Aussies know about Pine Gap. What goes on in there is another thing all together. If you get close enough, you'll receive a tap on the shoulder from Australian / US defence force.
Well, at least they are kind enough to just give you a tap 🥃
And we can see why the brave Ukrainians know what/where to hit with HIMARS, etc.
I don't know how anyone could live without a microwave in modern society. You're a madman Dave. The amount of things that just need to be nuked for like 12-15 seconds is endless.

Back in the 90s I did a school project on the Continents and used Britannica for a lot of my research (books, this was pre-internet). They referenced Australia as the Continent and Oceania as a region made up of New Zealand and a bunch of little Islands around Australia. I've always believed it to be that using the geography definition of a continent, but I know other people use Oceania as it references the political region.
Yes, it's a little like building blocks. Australia the country plus New Guinea and the 80 islands under Australian control make up Australia the continent. Australia the continent and Zealandia (being considered to be added as another continent, consisting of New Zealand and NZ's islands) form Australasia, one sub-region of Oceania. Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia make up Oceania the region.
@@Bellas1717 Not really, its just about what you got taught and what you chose to believe. You either go with the geological definition or the political definition.
@@R3WIRED Yes, but what I choose to believe is not a scientific approach, and I'm a scientist, so I go with the geological/geopolitical definitions above that arise from our most recent understandings from plate tectonics. Cheers.
@@Bellas1717 The Political Definition is less about the tectonic plates and more to do with the individual countries and how they co-operate globally. Only half of New Zealand sits on the Australian Plate, the other half is on the Pacific Plate. If we used Tectonic Plates, only half of New Zealand would fall under the Continent of Australia. I personally find its easier to use the geological definition. Australia and New Zealand are separate land masses that don't connect. A continent is one of the world's main continuous expanses of land. Australia and New Zealand are not a continuous expanses of land, thus its not a single continent. I also do not believe you're a scientist. No scientist forgets half of NZ is not on the Australian plate. lol
@@R3WIRED I did mention I was using the current geological and geopolitical, not political nor sociological definitions. What you choose to use is of course up to you, and relevant to the context in which you are using it. Sorry, my comment was just something that intrigued me. New Zealand is not part of the Australian continent for exactly that reason, half of it bridges the Pacific Plate. I had mentioned that in my first comment: "Australia is a continent within the Oceania geographical region that includes the sub-region of Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and various islands in the Pacific Ocean), Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. It was added as a continent in the 1950s after Alfred Wegener's work on tectonic plates became more widely accepted. Continental Australia sits on the Australian plate, which includes mainland Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea and multiple other islands (Australia the country has control of over 80 islands.) Because the overwhelming landmass majority of the continent is the Australian mainland, it is usually referred to as an island continent surrounded by islands. Since New Zealand sits astride the boundary between the Australian and Pacific plates, it is not considered part of the Australian continent. Australia the island is roughly the same size as the continental United States of America." NZ and surrounding islands form Zealandia. This is a newly-discovered, mostly submerged (to about 1 km, compared to depth of 4-5 km ocean floor) and quite large continental plate/plate fragment. Because of the plate size and composition, Zealandia is under consideration to be added to the list of continents. [Degrees in Bio and Chem, daughter of a geologist.] Cheers.
Pine Gap doesn't relate to the Five Eyes treaty. There isn't anything at Pine Gap that isn't at RAF Menwith Hill.
6:03 Did he say Lycra® cycle gimps? Are you talking about societally troubled bicyclists Dave? Holy shit I'm dying laughing!! 🤣
"Congratulations you found one of our bases, tee hee" -USA
Wonder if they can find the underwater base? Give it a go blokes.
The U.S. Space Force is a newer military branch added.
Or at least newer that we know about.
Who knows how long it has been around.
Exactly my thoughts. Russia has had a space force for some time now.
Yeah , and their “space” keeps shrinking 😂
The creation of the “Space Force” as a separate military branch was largely just an administrative change. Prior to that it existed as a command within the Air Force. But the way the US works, the powers that be thought as a separate branch it could more easily get generous funding and Congressional support so they split it off much like the Air Force itself split off from the Army as a separate branch in the 1940s, having previously been the Army Air Corps.
The bends in highways usually are to avoid landscape and to prevent driving directly into the sun
Cool video. But I've never heard a narrator emphasize adjectives quite like him haha
Right? Adverbs too. The emphasis on “very” is crazy. That’s all I could think the whole time. He also loves the word “vast” a little too much (the ‘80% of Americans live East of this line’ video demonstrates this very well).
Australia is a continent within the Oceania geographical region that includes the sub-region of Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and various islands in the Pacific Ocean), Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. It was added as a continent in the 1950s after Alfred Wegener's work on tectonic plates became more widely accepted.

Since New Zealand sits astride the boundary between the Australian and Pacific plates, it is not considered part of the Australian continent. Australia the island is roughly the same size as the continental United States of America. Yes, we don't BBQ shrimp (just like we don't drink Fosters, another bad advertising campaign). We eat prawns, which are fresh water, and are usually much larger, meatier, and sweeter than shrimp. We usually barbecue steak, sausages, chicken, lamb, pork, fish, although some people do like prawns on a BBQ. The road across the Nullarbor Plain is the Eyre Highway. It's a little under 1700 km long and takes about two days to drive. One section of it is 147 kilometres long, one of the world's longest stretches of straight road. The bends in the Eyre Highway are structural, not driver-based. You might enjoy the video on the world's longest golf course that stretches along the Eyre Highway. The temperatures in Alice Springs average 36 C and max at around 45 C, so a swimming pool would be very welcome. Pine Gap station is code-named Rainfall in an area with an average rainfall of only 28cm per year, and where there are no pines. (Sorry, Aussie scientist!)
But do you eat at Outback Steakhouse?
@@scottb3034 Never. Nor drink Fosters, nor ride kangarros, nor encounter deadly animals everywhere, nor say G'day mate. 😆
@@Bellas1717 DO YOU AT LEAST COMPARE KNIVES? 😰😮😵💫🔪
If not then my whole life's been a lie!
@@scottb3034 no, that's not a thing either...🤣
@@Bellas1717 😵💫 I don't know what's real anymore! Your toilets probably flush regularly! Cats and dogs will start living together!
Anyway, thanks for the laughs, Cheers! LOL
The CIA is much more well known, but the NSA is probably 5x larger and nobody knows what their actual budget is.
Oceania and Asia Pacific is a region. Continent is the land mass and country of Australia. Also it’s prawns not shrimp lol
Valerie Burris That started with Ronald Reagan Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), byname Star Wars, proposed U.S. strategic defensive system against potential nuclear attacks-as originally conceived, from the Soviet Union. President Trump started the Space Force program.
The Democrats derisively called it "Star Wars". Reagan had the last laugh.
I watched a TV series about Pine Gap a few years ago, it was interesting.
Fun fact there’s one of those base 30mins away from where I live in a remote part of Alaska
There are US and UK military bases in the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia.
Darlin Jenny, they are ours...we just let them pretend to think they “own” them 😚
Bend in the road commentary; as an American trucker I agree to an extent. Certain mostly flat straights will have a hiccup here and there. Mostly engineering for unexpected land differences. Have encountered enough to say that they do it for the drivers excitement to not cause sleepy time accidents too.
I know we have CIA "Black Sites" all around the world (Areas that don't exist on paper), but I didn't know we had one in Australia. But that'd be the best prison, because even if you escape, you're still hundreds of miles from anything.
not a black site
@@BlackDeathThrash You don't know this. Neither do I. Don't speak within the bounds of specificity until you have solid evidence to back it up. I guarantee you do not know, if you did, you'd be paid to not know.
@@tbd-5160 Didn’t you effectively define a black site as an “area that doesn’t exist on paper” in your original comment? Pine Gap’s existence is clearly recognized on paper (they even publish the number of intelligence operatives employed there, hence this video). It would seem based on your own definition that it isn’t a black site.
@@Antonio-wh3oq You misunderstood my wording intent. By "Not on paper", I meant that nothing on the base leaves the base. "Not on paper". I know you're thinking of Zero Dark Thirty, but a black site is any site where no information leaves.
@@Antonio-wh3oq Unless it's heavily encrypted by satellites cable.
Since you guys liked the Pine Gap video, another one you might enjoy is Mega Projects video labelled 'NORAD and The Cheyenne Mountain Complex'. CMC is an amazing military base that was designed as both the command center for the entirety of North America but also as a bunker for the last vestiges of humanity to survive in the event we decide to end the world. If that isn't enough to peak your interest, then maybe the fact that NORAD (the agency responsible for protecting North America) was joked at being so good at their job - that they could track Santa on his way to deliver gifts. One thing led to another and the joke has become an actual tradition for them to do, with them announcing every Christmas Eve when they have officially begun 'tracking' Santa and his sleigh. There are no doubt plenty of videos talking about that on TH-cam lol, heck even the Department of Defense's own website has a video talking about it.
I’m an Australian and just about everyone I know has heard of Pine Gap, it’s no secret to most Australians, however exactly what they do there would be unknown by a lot of Australians.
I keep trying to find out but nobody will tell me what they do there.
There are apps that will tell you what satellites or objects are passing over head. You can the look them up by names or numbers and see where and when they originated. Interesting stuff.
Rumor has it, there's a secret base under Picadilly square. The entrance is hidden behind a concrete wall and their budget is funded by charging Manc's £9 for a hot cocoa.
Yep...the entrance is IN that concrete wall they seem to hate. lol And I hear that cocoa now has a special "Limey tax" of one pound fifty. :)
ik this is an old video but if you were interested in this video another youtuber who is aussie makes a lot of like “political skits” but they made a video recently trying to sneak into this base. they’re most popular video i think is when they went to north korea just to get a haircut, they’re a really funny channel you should definitely check the video out!!
Siri or Alexa are already listening to you😂
Valerie Burris The F.B.I.also works overseas.
My feeble brain attempting to understand the size comparison of Australia and Kazakhstan - > 🤷♀️🤔❓
We’re everywhere. 😂😂. No, really though. 😅
The narrator doesn't even know what NSA stands for.
Good stuff on RealLifeLore , but noticed the narrator over - stresses his words way too often to emphasize a point. It gets really annoying, imo. Good reaction OBs.
I thought I was the only that is annoyed by it. he's constantly over-stressing for no reason
With 800 People working at the Facility, You would think You would see a lot of cars. I didn't see any cars in that picture or not many so Operators of this Facility must be transported by Bus, Aircraft or have a Subterranean Garage
Gregory, our “cars” were clearly visible in the video 😎
2:52 It's because it's called Australia and Oceania......
We need students to choose higher math and sciences so we began AMSTI 20 years ago. The Alabama Math Science Technology Institute is where we train teachers in the Socratic Method so that, beginning in Kindergarten, you train children to think. Those teacher and students are then supported through 12th grade. STEM helps student apply math and science with engineering. I judged a 2nd grade class that programmed graphing calculators attached to wheels where the "cars" were racing in a non-eliptical track. Somethimes students would retrieve their cars and make some changes to their program in order to go faster, turn tighter, or pass a competitor. It was awesome. Most of what we in the U.S. have been able to accomplish with technology and engineering is because of a direct link with space exploration. The amount of materials that are developed for space travel and space advancement is still helping us today. Come to NASA at Huntsville, Alabama and go thru Space Camp. Most all teachers in our state do and then they return with their 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to suceessfully launch and recover their space vehicles.
Keeping close watch on all the bad actors on our planet. “The Five Eyes”
Satellites have insane coverage. Whenever I go into areas that loose my phone signal I keep a connection with a satellite linked emergency device.
Well Daz you’ll just have to get a satellite phone. However I don’t think your brain would appreciate it lol
Why because we can, that’s why, lol.
Should React to Real Life Lore (Same Channel), “How the Geography made the US Ridiculously OP” (Over Powered)
Or Prob some Russia Ukraine That content he makes
Blokes, i ses you have reacted to another real life lore video, can you react to his video on the most unlikely thing to happen to you. Very good video that you blokes would enjoy.
We're here to help you. Don't be worried about this we love Australia. We're bringing peace and love to the world.
No one will tell you the truth, but the truth is that we've been testing breeds kangaroos with other species. That's all I can say and it was probably still too much.
You mentioned the U.S. Space Force. It is a real thing. There is a recruitment video on TH-cam. You have to be a current member of the Airforce to apply.
It's my understanding that NASA tracks all notable space objects, even fairly small ones. It's necessary because all of that represents danger to launching spacecraft and satellites.
British are the Lion of the tribe of Judah
Well it wouldn't be a top secret base if everyone knows about it 🤣
US Space Force is a new military branch
The consequences are not vague. Try it see what happens.
Pine gap . isn't it the headquarters of the american drone program ?
U said real area 51 I loved in Tennant creek near Alice Springs there is a place called whicliff well alien sightings
There are literally thousands of US bases around the world, outside the US. That greenback buys a lot of things.
No, there are about 850ish US bases around the world, some tiny some huge. See their previous video on the subject.
@@kokomo9764 those are probably military bases. the cia isn't part of the military and i guarantee 'black sites" are not being listed.
Old dude in the middle is the best one for some reason. I just can't understand a word he is saying.
Well they're not top secret if everyone knows about them 🤷♂️
Do you have a metal roof? Ant thing that create a magnetic field can block radio and to receive telephone 2.5-5 GHz you need to bee 3.5 to 6 miles from tower or have hard wire router. Austin Texas.
Wow, so does that mean a Geostationary Satellite would appear as a star to the eye since from the perspective from the ground it would not be moving?
No, geostationary satellites orbit the earth every 24 hours (matching the earth's rotation), stars do not. Stars rise in the East and set in the West. If you could see a geostationary satellite, it would hang in the same spot in the sky all day, every day.
I'm glad other countries believe we have lasers in space.
The US has the Space Force, which is another armed force of the US.
10:10 Don't feel left out Dave. More intelligence sharing and gathering happens on a daily basis at GCHQ in Gloucestershire than all year in Australia.
Cope harder
@@aj897 What are you even referring to? Write complete sentences kid.
Has to be a connection with the indigenous and aliens or something
How about a video showing just how many military instalations the US has in England ....English
Yo Mates, look up The Greek Freak by Joseph Vincent. I know you guys watched him a few months ago but Joe makes great documentary’s and his new one is great
Its called starlink might want to thinks about it?
I would imagine that bases in Turkey could be used instead of the African continent
Us Americans think we're the world police. I hate him but you can't blame Putin for not liking being surrounded. Cheers blokes
The CIA doesn't have a charter to operate domestically in the U.S. The D.O.J. leaves that to the NSA, FBI and various other LEA.
though they still do
@@bigfellamike1913 Actually they don't. The CIA even had to set up a website showing how boring their job really is. I have a friend who is a Detective for a major police force. He showed the surveillance equipment he has to use. Its all throw back from late 80's and 90's tech. Movies and tv shows are full of it. There is no secret room with floating computer screens and high tech gear. If you are going to get "spied" on. Its going to be from the NSA. FBI, or again your LEA.. But not the CIA.
@@bigfellamike1913 The DOJ is really strict about such things because of politics and all that jazz.
@@anthonyramirez9003 I'm sorry, but if you're naive enough to think the CIA doesn't make moves inside our borders, you probably believe most of what the government tells you lol. Not the spying, but false flags and disaster events are planned by CIA.
@@bigfellamike1913 Um no. I'm just not some conspiracy nut like you.
TOP SECRET? how does anyone know about it then? Not in the dead centre either.
Do you think Trump may have said something he wasn’t supposed to?
-What, Trump?
LMAO
Please react to Scott Horton's Enough Already playlist. You'll love it. The book is a must read.
I mean how secret is it really
Yeah? What about Secret Chinese Police stations? Do you even know?
This is a myth, none of those bases are actually there.
Missed the series on Netflix??
It's a secret base yet people know about it.
can yall react to the by reallifelore, how geography made the US OP
Yea that’s a good video
They should react to Real life lores video on probibility. Its called something like most unlikely things that can happen to you. It would be a beter video to react to, and all the America centric videos are getting stale.
Five Eyes
sounds cool but also scary at the same time
Sow the government is watching?
Could you react to how the us stole the middle east?
We didn’t steal it, we’ve just been letting them borrow it for a while 😎🥃
You Blokes should react to NFL'S "Best plays of week 13" this week in football was awesome.
Found narrator's constant inflections annoying and off-putting.
Yeah hes always overreacting to things, but it doesnt take away the quality of his videos for me.
Oceana is a region and not a continent.
Australia sits on its own continental plate and Oceana occupies multiple plates and hence cannot be a continent.
This narrarator.... gah
Guess it ain't so top secret anymore.
👽🛸
that narrator is unbearable
Now you know why the US spends $850 billion a year on military budget. Those bases cost money.
first
So many ugly comments! The point is eavesdropping on the guys talking abut the content. But at least I’ll take it that way. Good job, blokes.
Slow down your speach lol I can not understand you ugh !!
Dave is still talking, messing up the flow of the video.
Why!? In a sane and fair world… would you be microwaving milk?
Watching from alice springs :D
been there for farken decades
