Thanks, Sergei Korolev, for advancing humans into space. We will remember you.
Sergei is one of the most famouse ukrainians. Breznev is probably the most famouse ukrainian, because he ruled the soviets for 19 years.
@@deltasalz8138 korolev and Brezhnev are Russian origin surnames
Imagine if he and Von Brown worked together...
+Dragos Teodor Bran Then we would probably have moon colonies and mars would be next..alas they never did
Great people always have to work alone. The results would have been meager if the two had joined their hands.
KrishnaRao Ragavendran I see your point..yourre talking abount different aproaches to achieve the same result
Korolev and Goddard, exactly, Von Braun's works were based on Goddard's. Multistage rockets are Korean inventions.
@@krishnaraoragavendran7592 wrong actually, there are so many rapid developments and discoveries when working in collaboration, don't let your inferiority complex overcome the reality there.
Russian guy here.
"Sputnik" is not a name of satellite or rocket. This word literally means "satellite" in Russian. The word "путь" (put') means "way" or "path". Путник (putnik) - traveller, wayfarer. And finally спутник (sputnik) - something traveling along, travelling companion ("co-traveller").
PUTIN
Put and path is literally the same word, it just pronounced differently.

@@maximsollogub3579 государство как с твоим дедом обошлось?
@@CekTopGaZa1988 я никогда не пойму таких как он, но он любил родину, в лихие девяностые он почти из мусора строил дачу, которую ещё до развала СССР выдали, потом все вроде пошло лучше. Он почти до самой смерти работал на предприятии (ЦСКБ прогресс, думаю), в Самаре, на малой родине, заодно преподавал в университете и даже стал получать пенсию. Из того что я понял, зарабатывал он не огромные деньги, но поскольку не тратил то даже помог моему двоюродному брату купить квартиру. Он старше меня и свое детство провел как раз в лихие 90-е. В общем, умер он от онкологии, и я не сказал бы что государство с ним как-то ужасно обошлось, однако мне ясно, что будь у нас нормальная диагностика, и нормальная хирургия, всякие поддерживающие терапии он скорее всего прожил бы лет десять, от ремиссии до ремиссии.
This video makes me very happy, because I am from the same city as Korolev (Zhytomyr in Ukraine) and I have known a lot about him since early childhood. In the city, there is a space museum dedicated to him right across his actual house, which is also now turned into a museum. I remember going there for the first time as a kid and being fascinated by everything on display. Korolev is one of the major reasons why I became interested in space and now as a high school junior I am planning on majoring in physics for college and hopefully getting a job in a space-related field in the future.
Thank you so much for spreading the appreciation of Korolev's wonderful work!
It is really nice, do you think there is enough credit to him, Von Braun got a lot of deserved credit. And now after finding this video it is first time I know about Korolev. Could it be that he wasn't Russian, but Ukrainian ?
go for it, you will do it ;)
The largest iCBM in history was not designed and made in US,Russia or China but in Ukraine. It will be reborn as Korea's Nuri rocket.
Hope you do find a job in the space industry! I've begun to learn Russian and hope to travel to the museum next year now that I'm working in the Australian space industry!
@NSA NSA True, he probably reborn several times while in Gulag, thus gained Russian nationality this way.
THE CHIEF DESIGNER
thats one of the most badass titles ever

Or a descendant. Remember, Halo takes place decades, centuries(?) from now.

Connor O'Brien
Thank you. :) And you're right, Master Chief is just a rank.
master chef. XD
Thank you Sergei Korolev for your great contribution to human advancement.
It's funny how people say the US won the space race. Sure, we landed the first people on the moon, but the Soviets got the first artificial satellite into space, the first animal into space, the first human into space, and many other accomplishments.
***** The space race happened in the 1960s. When I say the Soviets won that, I mean they had more accomplishments in that time period. Sure, the US is far ahead of them now, but we're not in the space race anymore.
Korolev was the one who started the space age. Thanks to his relentless pursuit, it gave the Americans probable cause to explore space.
We were the first no only in space. We are also were the first who sent device and received photos from the other planet - Venus. Here is these photos
th-cam.com/video/qRGTk0KQhf4/w-d-xo.html
***** Actually, SSSR landed first probe at Mars. Yes, it worked for about 20sec, but still.
***** Charlie seems to be a DICK.Fact are facts and the US won hands down.
Korolev crosses are one of my favorite things in Kerbal Space Program :-)
Yeah those are beautiful!
Interesting fact: The US Atlas III and Atlas V rockets uses the Russian RD-180 rocket engine in their first stage. So even NASA benefits from Korolev.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't those Russian closed-cycle engines developed after Korolev's death? I always heard they were designed by Tupolev for the N-1 moon rocket, and didn't become reliable until into the 1970s.
No, they were designed by Kuznetsov just right before Korolev died
SciShow Space you should probably make more videos about Soviet Space and technology. Sergey Korolev is very well known here in Russia, as well as Glushko, the most brilliant rocket engine engineer in history (the US still buys Russian motors that he developed 50 years ago). There are A LOT of geniuses in the very fruitful Soviet/Russian Rocket science, from Tsiolkovsky to Korolev, that the world don't know about...
Maybe you've been drinking the rocket fuel also but the US only purchased the rocket engines that were put away and hid because they were suppose to be destroyed.The Delta 4 which launched Orion in December was 100 percent American made and the Space X rocket which supplies the ISS is 100 percent all American.So you can stop bragging or rather lying that the US still buys engines since its been well over a year since the US did.The only reason we would buy them is because the Space Shuttle was being retired.Have you ever heard of Robert Goddard? American,he is considered to be the Father of Rocket Scientist's.
Or i can google how russia MIMICS everything USA does... From social sites to copying our hollywood. Which do you prefer??
Also, the most brilliant rocket engine in history is the saturn 5 rocket. That got us to the moon.
Please explain to me what rockets USA buy from russia??? OR you think your lies will convince people without question... Poor russians. I fear that the USSR brainwashing is still in going on... Or you never sought out therapy to get rid of the previous USSR brainwashing... IDK.
Eddie Hayes You might want to look at this through Google Translator: www.military-informant.com/news/7864-ssha-zakupyat-u-energomasha-60-dvigatelej-rd-181.html
The US still buys rocket engines (RD-181, a modernized version of the RD-180 in this case) from Russia despite the sanctions, since they are simply the best and most reliable engines in their category. They placed an order of 60 engines, worth about 1bln USD.
Also, I frankly don't understand your "we Americans can do it better" position. All US "advanced" space crafts are now retired, and the new ones have still to prove themselves. Russian/Soviet technologies are reliable, a lot less expensive, a good example of that is the ISS, who is is almost entirely built on Soviet/Russian technologies (basically, it's the MIR 2 Zarya and Zvezda modules at its core, with a bunch of other modules attached to it), and it is the only thing that keeps the US present in space. So why do you still think of space as a race (that the US lost a long time ago anyways), instead of thinking of it as a cooperation? I frankly doubt that the US will be able to afford a space station of its own after the ISS is retired, and if the US will continue its policy of "selfishness", Russia will be building its next station with China and other countries aspiring at having a more prominent position in space exploration (like India, Brazil, the EU...). The cold war is over (despite the US establishment desperately trying to relaunch it nowadays), so you should stop looking at the world through the lens of US cold war ideology...
also more china would be great.
kaizer soze You're one to talk about brainwashing when the Saturn V rocket was engineered by a Nazi German and his German team. Also do you have any idea how much the US relied heavily on Soyuz transportation due to it's near-perfect record? It's true that the US recently ousted out of Russian Taxi to Space program, but don't ignore how much they relied it on in the past to achieve their goals.
Do a piece on Konstantin Tsiolkovski, that guy almost single-handed invented the idea of using rockets in space travel, as well as inventing the spacesuit, the airlock and asteroid mining.
The spacesuit was invented by Emilio Herrera, Spanish engineer.
Im a huge fan of Korolev, but if he had listened to Glushko, they would have gotten to the moon before we did. His UR series rockets (Proton family) were ingenious, and using hypergolic propellants, though toxic, would have been much easier, as the combustion temp is lower (longer lasting motors), and design is simplified by not needing an ignition system, and thus more reliable. Besides, we used Aerozine in the Gemini Titans, and they were great. To all my Russian friends, I will always hold Glushko to be THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE EXPERT ON LIQUID FUELED ROCKETS THAT EVER WALKED THE EARTH. You were mastering full flow staged combustion (the RD 270) 40 years before we Americans even considered it. Thank you, Valentin Petrovich.
Korolev understood the shortcomings of the Soviet political system. His favorite saying was "We will all vanish without a trace. There will be no obituary."
For all of you who are interested in learning more about the chief designer and and the competition between the USSR and the USA to explore space at the time of the cold war, i can highly recommend a series of four documentaries that can be found right here at youtube called "space race". I spent three hours and twenty minutes watching them today and yesterday and i don't regret a single second :)
Korolev was a legend and deserves way more fame
In Ukraine and Russia he is well known though, in my Birth city of Zhytomyr we have a Museum dedicated to him. Also as you might know Sputnik means Satellite in Russian.
Brilliant mind and incredibly strong character, a great inspiration considering everything he had to go through!! What an era in time.
Stories about people who quietly changed the course of human history are my favourite kind of stories!
I can't remember the name of it, but there is a great documentary showing the the two sides of the space race, with a focus on Wernher von Braun and Sergei Korolev.
Was it "Space Race" by the BBC? Watched a few episodes and it's definitely worth watching! :)
Abaris84
Yes! I believe it was this. Race For Rockets was the first episode in the series.
The Germans and Korolev inspired by Tsiolkovsky.
But who was the 1st ever to pull all that Tsiolkovsky theory into action ? It was Robert H. Goddard (USA), he made the first liquid fueled rocket and advanced the ways of liquid propulsion and optimizing their thrust back in 1920's.
And when you say the Germans you mean one German, the one and only Wernher Von Braun who was inspired by Jules Vern and of course his professor Herman Oberth who was an Austrian-Romanian. Von Braun made the 1st real ballistic missile the V-2 and the USSR captured some German scientists and some V-2s and they started immediately to work on them and develop bigger rockets all based on Von Braun's V-2 rocket!
SairousClaou R7 was vastly different from V2.
@Traiano Welcome Open the history books again my friend.
When Korolev was 14 years old in 1921, Goddard tested the first liquid fuel rocket engine ever, and this method was conceived by him in 1909 when Korolev was 2 years old. Goddard was before Korolev.
Von Braun came after with the built of the First ballistic missile the V2. Korolev's expertise was aircraft propulsion not rockets. At the end of WW2 in 1945 he was sent to Germany and his team took 170 German scientists and many V2s that were left there.. He worked on the V2s and he started modifying them , he never started from scratch. So between 1947-1955 he got the founds from CCCP regime to built a big rocket that could cargo an atomic bomb and hit the USA. The first Russian atomic bomb was big heavy and bulky almost 5.000 kgms, that's why the R7 Semyorka rocket had the big potential to be the mighty work horse for space exploration.
That's why Russia was ahead of the Americans back in the 50's.
Von Brauns hands were tied down, only after the NAVY's fail with the Vanguard Von Braun got the green line to start balling, and starting to think big and taking action on the development of the Saturn family of rockets, while he knew US was trailing the Russians and the only way to beat them was by going to the moon, as he did.
Realy hard to pronounce Konstantin Tsiolkovsky...
@@Sky_Gazer1 pronounce like: "Tsilkovski" - tsil-KOV-ski
Then curve the "i" up - "iY"
What an amazing history.
Thanks for the informative video.
Very inspiring account. Hats off to the genius Korolev.
I have read widely on the "space race", and Korolev has always been a big, major name. So glad to see an absolutely awesome video made on him now!! :D
He is my hero since childhood. I was interested in space science. Incidentally, hero of the Indian space science belongs to my city.:)
That's a fun bit of history! Thanks!
The high school I went to was named Sergei Korolev! :) Well, I'm from Bulgaria, so it figures... :)
*Thanks for Sharing, very interesting all the way thru*
If anyone is interested in Korolev, there's a brilliant play about his life and work called 'Little Eagles'. Go see it if you can!
Really liked this one.
One of the human spacecraft in Stargate SG-1 is named after Korolev. Which admittedly is the only reason I knew his name.
A good BBC documentary exists that covers the space race between Vernier Von Braun and Sergei Korolev, starting from the end of WWII to the moon landing. =)
"Race for Rockets" I think.
*****
If you google for pictures of just "Werner" you should find a popular German cartoon character. ;)
Too bad it doesnt go into detail the horrors of what soviets did to german scientists after WW2 and all the technology they stole and lied and claimed it was their own... Like this peice of crap korolev. Will never remember him again. Von braun on the other hand!!! Great guy!
*****
"Wernher"
+Cynical Zombie Actually, the Soviets were fairly nice to the Germans they captured. The worst they did was sideline and ignore them after they'd learned what they wanted about the V2 (aka the A-4).
The German researchers were actually better paid by the Soviets than their Russian colleagues.
+Flamadiddle i know it is a bit late to reply but it is called "Space Race: the untold story" a great documentary.
I actually live in a Russian city called Korolev, we have a monument in his honour and a museum as well
Chief Designer is a pretty sweet name though...
SciShow Space Wow. Thank you for this cheering prise of USSR rocket genius!
Well, I'm a fan of Sergei Korolev. That guy was a rocket engineer - one of the best in history. von Braun was a guy who has the headstart on the rocket tech but it was Korolev outsmarted von Braun by using some of his designs and in the end launch a lot of things to space - eventhough von Braun was developing rockets while Korolev was somewhere in the Siberian Gulag.
Can’t really say Korolev outsmarted Von Braun or that Von Braun got a “head start” when it was Von Braun’s work that laid the foundation for Korolev (literally giving Korolev a head start from where he’d have been without Von Braun’s work), and then Von Braun’s design (the Saturn V) ultimately proved better than Korolev’s design (the N1)
Whenever I did something stupid my mum would bring up Sergei Korolev and talk about how he was such a smart man and all. Well he was.
PARABÉNS ótimo vídeo!!!! exemplo de como usar engenharia reversa !!!
Proud of my country's talents!
Thank you for responding to my request.
Now it gets harder to predict who will be next in this series. Goddard, von Braun and Korolev are the big names I can think of for early rocket development. Especially because their legacy is still very much with us today.
I think the next name would have to be Galileo?
You missed the father of the third independent space program and an interesting lesson in irony: Qian Xuesen
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qian_Xuesen
Let's not forget Korolev's colleague Valentin Glushko.
Although he was one of the people who imprissoned Korolev, he was the Chief Designer of the engines that propelled Korolev's rockets.
He was also the colleague who got him in the gulag. The two fought a LOT
Nikhil Menda that's what I said... I already said Glushko got him imprisoned.
+George Ushakov Oh oops, sorry about that :/
But yes. Kolorev couldn't get shit done without glushko
Know him through BBC SPACE RACE documentary's film..A worth admired scientist...thanks Chief Designer
Japanese rockets are of Goddard/von Braun design while Korean liquid fuel rockets are Korolev designs. (Korean solid rockets are indigenous designs from the 16th century. Koreans made and used the first two-stage rockets)
aa bb I can’t understand you like Korolev design or not? Two stage rockets??
I *think* I've heard of him before. But I'm not sure... In any case: thanks for the interesting video! :)
Most underrated man of 20th century
You should also do an episode about Roberto Bartini, whom Korolev refereed to as his teacher and mentor.
I asked for this one on the Werner Von Braun one!
Lol Russians, drinking the rocket fuel XD
It's just ethanol, dude. Dilute it, bottle up, put a fancy label ending with "-skaya" on it and, voila, it's vodka!
Pelle Olsson still better quality then white girl piss bud light :D
In Soviet Russia fuel consumes you!
robert karas hey, if it gets me some white girls ill get some bud light
He is Ukrainian for fucks sake!
Nice
Never knew this!!
The video is amazing, just keep in mind that the soviets gave capsules names, not the rockets.
Me encanta, es uno de mis Ídolos 😊
Vaya algo de Español por aquí! Te recomiendo el blog de astronautica y cosmonautica de Daniel Marín, buscalo en Google, creo que el link es danielmarin.naukas.com
You do a video on Konstantin Feokstitov, the guy who designed the first space station salyut 1 and also mir space station.
Yay! He's back! :D
May the "Korolev Cross" make its appearance above the Kazakh steppes for decades to come!
Cool
Interesting that the Russians continually evolve their launch vehicles over time while the US starts almost from scratch coming up with new launch vehicles (barring Atlas, Delta, Titan, etc) First were V-2 clones, then ICBM's, then Saturn, the Space Shuttle, now SLS. All of them markedly different from each other. With the Russians it looks more like a linear progression, rather than large hops.
If you wanna know more about Korolev....search for discovery's documentary"The space race" there are about 4 or 5 episodes. I watched it along time ago...if you are lucky you will still find it on TH-cam!!
Next video Hermann Oberth the dude who discovered that it is more efficient for a rocket to go faster when it is already going fast lol. The oberth effect is awesome.
thanks, but with all the3 "stock" footage available of various R-7's, why show a V-2 in the "SPUTNIK" segment??
exactly what I thought
I thought I was the only one who noticed!
Next you should cover Edmond Halley
great man sergie korolev
BBC's mini-series "Space Race" features Sergei Korolev quite prominently for anyone interested.
Very cool -- I always liked the way the Russian rockets look like they're wearing bell-bottom trousers. :-)
he was Ukrainian born and raised engineer. Studied in Kiev UKRAINE. dont ever put him and russia in same sentence pls, they stole enough from us
@@xo121w That's cool -- I hadn't know that. I'll remember in the future to refer to him as Ukrainian.
The video of 'Sputnik' is actually a video of a V-2 rocket.
Anyone else notice the difference between this and other Scishow episodes thus far? The inclusion of video footage? I don't think I have ever seen video footage (excluding the presenters) on a Scishow episode before.
The man who started the space race, hats off to him.
He looks like a total badass
Korea's entire space programme is based on his works; Next year Korea will get range limit lifted,thus being allowed to launch ANY kind of vehicle into space.
The cold war is bitter sweet for me. On one hand, great scientific advances were made and it drove a lot of political thought. On the other, it needlessly divided the whole world. I wonder if the alliance would have held together had FDR not died of a stroke. Churchill was voted out, nice one britain, always making the world a better place, and stalin wasnt going anywhere of course, and FDR had developed a working relationship with him during the war while trying to play meditator and hold the alliance together. Our ideologies were pretty disparate, but I dont think we would have been at each others throats. Anti communist sentiment was only a whisper during the war with Animal Farm unable to find a publisher because it would "hurt the war effort" and stalin wasnt planning on marching through the national mall. In fact, I dont think America and Russia have had better relations since FDR's death. Truman was an anti communist hawk and arguably started the cold war by nuking japan. Stalin was a power hungry dictator, but pragmatic.
I think that there are documents that indicate that FDR viewed the alliance w/ the Russians as a necessary & temporary evil that would not long outlast the war, even if he had outlived it
Didn't even talk about the Soviet moon rocket, N1.
Please do an episode on how planet surfaces get darker farther away from the Sun and how the pictures of the Gas Giants are WAY brighter than they actullay are
(like if you want to see this)
one of the best to contribute to space exploration after he died it all went wrong
I don't know why it took them so long to make a decent missile. It's not like it's rocket science.
His career did not stop during his prison time he actually worked in prison, in gulag there was special prisons for sciencetists called "Sharashka" he cotinued to design stuff there under guidence of Tupolev (thats another very briliant Russian scientiest)
he was Ukrainian born and raised engineer. Studied in Kiev UKRAINE. dont ever put him and russia in same sentence pls, they stole enough from us
Hey, at least he got an intergalactic battle cruiser named after him on Stargate SG-1...
Another visionary of science, much like Von Braun, Korolev wanted to design rockets for humankind's travel into space. Imagine how awesome of a team they would have made if politics weren't a factor.
Unfortunately for modern medicine and engineering, it's true.
Lara Schilling or they would have murdered each other. Two Geniuses rarely get along.
3:40 I like the old Soviet film, that shows Sputnik being launched by NOT the rocket that actually launched it.
Good Guy Korolev.
May humans develop technologies that will actually allow them to traverse the depths of the cosmos and not just their solar system.
Korolev is one of the true, overlooked pioneers of the space age. He was victimized and abused by the very same regime that he later helped put the first satellite in orbit. Years later (after the years of the cold war) what do we see but the later variants of the American Atlas series of rockets are powered by variants of his designs. Perhaps the Americans should have encouraged him to come to the USA. He could have continued his work there AND he would have received the proper medical care for the condition that caused his death.
I bet this guy was a ruthless boss
Thanks for that truly awesome vid! But i should admit that in russian his surname, "Королёв" it's pronounced more like "Korolyov', not "Korolev".
HE IS UKRAINIAN!!, NONE CARES HIS RUSSIAN NAME. YOU STOLE ALL OUR HISTORY
3:27 that doesn't look the the R-7 in the picture.
Yeah, the second picture in the series at 3:46 is the rocket that launched Sputnik, and the first is the missile variant. They put up footage of an R-1 by mistake.
I'd like to point out for historical purposes that Yuri Gagarin was not the first person in space. He was the first person to live, but there was somebody that went up before him.
Cold war rumor. No evidence of that.
Oops -- the launch footage is NOT an R7.
I like everclear too
spootnik
That means "the person who goes with you during the road"
Very poetic.
3:28 That's not an R-7 carrying the Sputnik as far as I'm concerned.
Videos about early soviet launches are near impossible to find, if they even exist, because most material concerning the space program was kept a secret until 1991.
Well they could at least find the launch of an actual R-7. In 3:28 they are showing either a V-2, R-1 or R-2.
It's a shame this guy never had the chance to go to space.
Otherwise he could have said.
"In Soviet Russia, rockets that I send in space send me in space"
People often hate on the military industry when they borrow and weaponise non-military developments, but seem oddly quiet when it's the other way around.
3:30 This clip seems wrong or out of place since this rocket clearly isn't Sputnik or any rocket from the R-7 family. It looks more like a R-1 but I doubt there is any footage of it.
Sergey Korolev is my idol. At the opening of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi there was a listing of letters from Russian Alphabet with the names of the most influential personalities in Russian history attached to a corresponding letter. Guess whos name was attached to K letter. It was Kandinsky, a painter. He turns out to be more important to Russian history than Korolev. Isn't it hilarious
Це добре. Кандинський був росіянином, а Корольов ні. Тому хоч тут без культурної апропріації
In Soviet Russia we no have Turret. Only have Sergei.
Korolev is the Best!!!!!
All hail Lika
he was in the video game metal gear solid 3. last name changed.
The Russian spacecraft company 'Energia' has S.P. Korolev in it's name.
Siberian gulags look miserable... that guard looks to be on the same level of misery as those prisoners.
In russian schools we learn a lot about him in physics classes. Also in history.
