The vastness of space is so incredibly vast that the probability of encountering something terrifying is slim to 0%. Although, the silence of beeing in space would most likely affect your mental health and also just by the surrealness of actually looking at the earth. That's why the mental health of astronauts is so important for NASA to keep checking up on, since most of the times astronauts mind will be affected by the time they get back to earth, even tho it may be unoticeable at first.

"Luckily, NASA is moving away from using russian rockets" Meanwhile the Soyuz (Roscosmos) has the best safety record of any human rated spacecraft. To be fair Falcon (SpaceX), New Shepard (Blue Origin) and Long March (China) also have had zero fatalities but Soyuz has been around a lot longer.
It actually had two incidents but there was some technicalities with said incidents so people say Soyuz is still safer. Look up Soyuz 11 and Soyuz 1 for more details.

I'm not sure why these arn't usually counted (other than propaganda), because if they aren't generally counted towards Soyuz's safety record than Apollo 1's incident shouldn't count towards Apollo/Saturn V.
@@zachcrawford5 I agree 100%. I think it shouldn't be counted against the Saturn V if it isn't counted for the Soyuz. I think the Saturn V was very safe and could have been our Soyuz if we had kept building them.

Maybe Challenger and Columbia wouldn't have happened had they done that... And the ISS would have been built in much shorter time than it took.

Becoming an astronaut sounds like a lot of hard work. If your goal is to simply say you've gone to outer space its much cheaper to simply buy a trip from Jeff or Elon.
"Cheaper"? A private space flight from Elon or Jeff costs what...on Virgin Galactic $450k for a 90 minute flight. Cost for a NASA astronaut? You would get paid a salary $100k+

True. It's easier to be a quarterback in the NFL than a space faring astronaut. As of May 6th, 2022, a total of 622 people from 38 countries have gone into space. More people have been on teams than won the Superbowl since 2010 than have EVER gone into space.

Where is manned spaceflight, really? In 1957 Sputnik was the first manmade object to orbit the Earth. 4 years after that Gagarin was the first human in space. 8 years after that Armstrong was the first man on the Moon. 53 years later where are we? Back to Gagarin with humans confined to LEO. NASA needed 6% of the US's entire national budget to get a few men on the moon for a few hours; there is no way the US can afford a manned flight to Mars, and there's not any reason to return to the Moon. Creating a permanent presence there will require tons upon tons of shielding against Cosmic rays and solar flares - how do you get all that off the Earth? Space travel is a dead end, but we still dream on.
That was the dumbest response possible. Especially being Artemis is going to the moon and SpaceX is as well and then 2 Mars. We r a space culture and it will only get better.
@@bobbyalaskanexplorer6453 "Going to" and "is" are two different things.

Well, right off the bat, you don't become an astronaut by sending in an application. The selection process is just a tiny bit more complicated than that. Just a bit. When you get into actually describing the process, that's pretty accurate, but that only for the "astronauts" who are little more than cargo in a space vessel. The real astronauts are the ones who sit up front, and drive the boat. After watching the entire video: You have created a truly excellent presentation. (although you did omit some of the grosser aspects of what the space environment is like.)
Watching the Big Bang theory - Howard doing any of this is actually pretty impressive. There is NO WAY. Sheldon would’ve even come close to completing any of this.
They haven't done this kind of training in over 50 years. Most current aerospace training is mental (intellectual and psychological), you can be slightly out of shape and go to space.

I wonder how long these tests have been in place. I know a few Astronauts who definitely seem like they would have failed out on day one let alone months
Each advancement in number-crunching (computation) turned into advancements in information processing (computer logic), and the advancements there turned into advancements in electronic components (increased functionality), and the advancements there turned into advancements in problem-solving (continuous improvement), and those advancements build on each other to get computers not just to where they are today, but forward into the future.
😍 Creating a CO2 Scrubber with things you have around, while going to space, knowing that you only have minutes of oxygen available to keep you alive, then coming back to earth with fingers crossed that contraption doesn't fail. That was crazy if you ask me.
Although Riddley Scott: The Martian is a Movie fiction, still is the most approach example of what might happen if Astronauts were in Mars or another planet. What if there's an accident? you need knowledge to cure your wounds. What if there's an implosion and all your food is gone, then at least study a little bit of botanic and start to grow some seed plants, etc. Scary stuff that only Astronauts are Endure to respond!

When Hiroshima was annihilated by a nuclear weapon. I'm a musician. I would never call my material epic... because it isn't. It's really good, but not epic. When something epic occurs, you'll know. Nobody will have to say it.
@@stephenhardy5031 Listen here "smart guy' epic is a word used to describe something, you're essentially gatekeeping an adjective *edit: Why do you need to mention you're a musician? it wasn't relevant to anything other then to gloat.
Think about it: you spend years training to go into LEO, at huge cost. You qualify and take a ride into orbit, pass a few weeks or months in the ISS doing nothing of staggering importance (all the really important experiments in microgravity have already been done) and then you come back to Earth. What have you actually achieved? It's the equivalent of going on a safari where you have to drive a particularly complicated tourist jeep whilst the folks back home (who paid for the safari) cheer you on. There's a huge disconnect between the romanticism about space travel and what space travel really is.

I see being an astronaut is just signing up to be a glorified Guinne pig thrown into a the vacuum of space on the back of a giant fireball-bomb sardine can.
Crazy man.
Cool video as always
This is actually depressing to me. So depressing. I had no interest in bieng an astronaut as a kid but I do as an adult. I wanna go to space so bad.
Homer made it look so easy.
Not quite
Remember it was Barney who actually won, as he trained much harder
Homer only won by
- DE-FAULT - after celebrating with non alcoholic champagne which Barney reverted back to being a loony!
😅Then he hijacked a jetpack to make a quick get away!
@@EAcapuccino I know lol. But Barney made it look so easy doesn't have the same ring to it.
@@poeterritory Eh no matter, all the same it was funny bro
I loved - Deep Space Homer - when it was brand new in the 1990s, I watched it on VHS 📼
Agreed, if only it was so easy, like it was for both Barney and Homer 😅
they would have to knock me out and strap me into a rocket. i will never willingly leave this planet. i hate flying too lol
I…JUST…LOVE…INFOGRAPHICS…CARTOON…PEOPLE…❤
Great vid as always
Me being a STEM student to enroll as a astronaut: *excuse me, actually-*
I will build my own rocket with weather balloons and launch into space. No one will be able to stop me.
I will pass the kerman line.
Infographics Show, did NASA reveal all this information to you incognito, so you could reveal it to us in a cute cartoon? 😅🚀
I wonder how long these tests have been in place. I know a few Astronauts who definitely seem like they would have failed out on day one let alone months
They have been in place since day 1. Do you think nations will spend billions of dollars to send unprepared idiots into space?
I'm never going to space because I'M NOT A MEGA BILLIONAIRE!!!
Im never going to space because due to the state of the world, I don’t feel i’ll be living long enough. Second, I don’t have 20/20 vision
Um infographics can you explain how did computers evolved and that one thing I think mostly everyone don't know how it evolved
Each advancement in number-crunching (computation) turned into advancements in information processing (computer logic), and the advancements there turned into advancements in electronic components (increased functionality), and the advancements there turned into advancements in problem-solving (continuous improvement), and those advancements build on each other to get computers not just to where they are today, but forward into the future.
Homer Simpson became an astronaut by default
😍 Creating a CO2 Scrubber with things you have around, while going to space, knowing that you only have minutes of oxygen available to keep you alive, then coming back to earth with fingers crossed that contraption doesn't fail. That was crazy if you ask me.
What about adult diapers, mace/OC spray, and Home Depot Husky contractor grade garbage bags. AND Are you sure psychological profiles really matter ??
sounds like luck is needed (1 in 1000 chance to be selected) but the training is not as hard as I expected.
Also luck that you have good vision, are the right height, don't have high blood pressure, or a long list of other medical issues.
Although Riddley Scott: The Martian is a Movie fiction, still is the most approach example of what might happen if Astronauts were in Mars or another planet. What if there's an accident? you need knowledge to cure your wounds. What if there's an implosion and all your food is gone, then at least study a little bit of botanic and start to grow some seed plants, etc. Scary stuff that only Astronauts are Endure to respond!
The Space Shuttle retired in 2011. Why not showing the Crew Dragon training instead?
That pic is of a dc9 not 727
Where do you live infographics show and what is your name?
Mr. Ballen touched me in my "NO NO" spot !
another 100 days series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gah I really feel like I've accomplished nothing after watching this
When it talks about the stem field requirements at about 1:15 mark, computer is spelled computar? Typo??
Engineers are notoriously weak at speling and gramer.

>beatboxes so epically
Stop using the word "epic". People say that to try to enhance what they're saying. Here are two events that were actually epic.
When the asteroid hit earth that killed the dinosaurs, that was epic.
When Hiroshima was annihilated by a nuclear weapon.
I'm a musician. I would never call my material epic... because it isn't. It's really good, but not epic.
When something epic occurs, you'll know. Nobody will have to say it.
@@stephenhardy5031 Listen here "smart guy' epic is a word used to describe something, you're essentially gatekeeping an adjective *edit: Why do you need to mention you're a musician? it wasn't relevant to anything other then to gloat.
To pile onto this, you don't have any evidence to clarify you're a musician other then your paragraph.

20 years from now, going to space will be as common as flying to another country.
Think about it: you spend years training to go into LEO, at huge cost. You qualify and take a ride into orbit, pass a few weeks or months in the ISS doing nothing of staggering importance (all the really important experiments in microgravity have already been done) and then you come back to Earth. What have you actually achieved?
It's the equivalent of going on a safari where you have to drive a particularly complicated tourist jeep whilst the folks back home (who paid for the safari) cheer you on.
There's a huge disconnect between the romanticism about space travel and what space travel really is.
