- I got to Visit Steve Jurvetson's private museum of Spaceflight hardware, he's a Silicon Valley investor who's managed to assemble one of the best space museums with items from Goddard through Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Shuttle and even parts of SpaceX launch vehicles. He has managed to acquire things that flew to the moon on every Apollo mission.
This was just 2 hours of us looking at things and Steve enthusiastically explaining the history of things while I tried to capture the tour on my phone
(I had planned to bring better cameras, but messed that up)
There's more to come!
All these exhibits come with better photographs and minus the space geek banter at his Flickr album:

"I don't have very much Apollo 8 stuff".
Yeah, I can relate - I have that problem too.
You are the most professional-unprofessional YT Space Content Producer I'm aware of. I very much appreciate your work, and don't sell yourself short. :)
There's a certain extemporaneous quality that the missing microphones and cameras added, a certain joie de vivre! Wonderful to experience...
But DON'T do it again!
Approach this like flying an airplane:
1. Make a checklist.
2. Use it.
Does he have a Titan II out back?
@@2ndfloorsongsI always make a checklist when I am planning for a vacation because otherwise I'll most definitely forget to take something, or forget to take something home.
Cheers to that!
Audio quality on the tour / interview definitely represented the unprofessional part
I just love the giddy enthusiasm of both Scott and Steve. I love that this stuff is being lovingly preserved to see how certain problems were solved in the early and developing space industry. This was just so much fun to watch. Can't wait for Part 2.
Yea thank God there's a transcript, I couldn't understand half of what they were saying from them carrying on and giggling like a couple of school girls, he sure did sound like he was having fun.
Rocket Engines! Space Computers! _Comment bots!_
What a time to be alive!
..Sorry, wrong channel.
. brooding socialists bots too, complaining about 'private collections' not being in a museum, yada yada.
In the 70s and 80s NASA deemed this stuff as 'scrap', and most museum curators passed it up, "but we already got enough spacey knobby switchy things".
Best part of this video is hearing that a part two is coming. This is such a great place for space nerds.
The APS Arm circuit breaker issue on Apollo 11 is overblown as a problem. The way those breakers worked, you pushed this plastic post in, and the metal connector at the base completed the circuit. Pull the post out, the circuit is interrupted. After the top of the post got broken off while the crew moved around in the LM cabin in their suits and backpacks, it wasn't ever a problem to push the breaker in, all you needed to do was find something -- like the felt tip pen Aldrin used -- to push it in. As Aldrin said at the time, he didn't see a problem in arming the APS engine with that circuit breaker, but he had "a hard time seeing how you would ever pull it back out."
The electrical path work-arounds that Houston and Grumman did were to disable the APS engine after the stage was back in orbit. At that point in the program, they didn't want to re-light the APS after a long burn because of throat erosion issues early engines had encountered, so once they were in orbit, they wanted to electrically isolate the APS so that it couldn't accidentally be fired. (Astronauts had been known to enter the program to use the APS when setting up an RCS rendezvous burn, especially when they were tired, so ensuring the APS wouldn't fire was a safety thing.) What the ground did was to work out a few other switch positions that would effectively isolate the APS and prevent it from firing, even though the APS Arm circuit breaker was still closed. I mean, yeah, you hate having ANYTHING off-nominal with the circuitry to the get-my-little-pink-butt-off-the-Moon engine, and I guess it was possible that the side pressure that broke the end off the breaker could have damaged the electrical connector at the base, at which time you really could have had a Bad Day. But once Aldrin felt and saw that the breaker was firmly closed, the only remaining concern, really, was how to disarm it after ascent.
This is great info I've never seen from anyone before. Many thanks.
Folks don't know the difference between fuses and breakers.
If I *ever* thought I was a serious nerd, this would show just how little I can lay claim that term. These two are the definition of space and computer nerds, and I love that.
Wow! This collection is seriously better than any museum, and what an awesome guide/curator to preserve it.
"Hey, Scott Manley! You'll never guess..."
Rookie mistake.
That's an amazing opportunity Scott!
Well well well...
Holy cow, what a collection. I’ve never envied the rich like this before. Yachts and fancy cars and mansions don’t do it for me, but space flown Apollo artifacts? Wow.
Yeah me too. I laugh at flash cars, million dollar houses, I'm happy with what I have. Well until now that is. Any one of these would be my prized possession. Is Steve Jurvetson after a new friend?? I could listen to the background of these pieces all day!!
And a shovel that actually touched the moon!!! Touched the MOON! Just... wow!
Let's be happy that Steve Jurvetson went out to spend his own money to preserve these artifacts for everybody.
@@Martinit0 There are a few wealthy folks who care about history and humanity. I too am very glad he is collecting this stuff.
@@dbf1dwareit does sound like it’s in relatively safe hands here. He’s not just after having it but seems genuinely very interested in what he has, how it works and its place in history. It would be nice to have it be more accessible for the general public, but thee are worse places for these artifacts to end up.
I own a small part of a starship heat tile from IFT1 and everyone I know is super impressed by that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... I now feel like a 3 year old that just found a shiny shell on teh beach and am arguing with my mom that I should be allowed to keep it because: "It's special!!!"
that's a very charming metaphor
Now that’s a candy shop I want to be a kid in! Thanks, Steve & Scott, for letting us witness your shared enthusiasm for what this collection represents! More!!
How many billions of dollars worth of space hardware has he got??? Damn. That's a complete SPACE MUSEUM he's got there. All it needs is the exhibits to be mounted in cases and accompanied with interactive video displays with footage of the items being made and in use. It would be ideal either as an online or museum for little kids to visit as a school trip. Inspire the next generation.
What an amazing collection! Bits and pieces that at least half the population would think were just rubbish have been saved from oblivion. I love the fact that the collection goes through from the earliest years of space flight to the cutting edge of today’s space flight. I could get lost in this collection for days, maybe more!
Note that much of the Apollo hardware in the day or even 10 years later was considered scrap. RE The AGC that Curious Marc and team revived was part of 2 tons of scrap that someone bought and only years later discovered that they had an AGC
“It belongs in a museum” -Indiana Jones
100% chance this gentleman takes better care of it than the average government run museum.
Yes. But I would have been bored looking at this stuff without the conversation of two knowledgeable enthusiasts, or even the typically dry museum tour.
@@xlynx9seems like a skill issue?
Much of it was deemed to be scrap by NASA in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Museum curators passed it up or didn't know or care. Silicon Valley geeks with personal deep knowledge to the rescue, and with the funds to restore it back to working condition.
💯I hope at some point in the future he he donates his collection to an existing aerospace museum or to a new museum. He seems like a decent person so I’m hopeful it will happen. However, in most cases wealthy people with collections like this are not good stewards and often got their collections using questionable means. (I’m looking at you, Hobby Lobby.)
What an incredible collection!
And so very cool that above being able to afford to collect these things, he is willing to share (visually, at least) his collection with others.
A sort of privately owned "public" museum.
@@MonkeyJedi99 yeah, next lifetime, I have to do a better job choosing my parents!
Simply incredible, Thanks Steve and Scott for sharing this with us.
As much fun as you had geeking out over all of this ( and I don't blame you, this place is awesome ) I get the feeling he's just as excited to be showing it all off and explaining what's what and some of the history behind the various bits and bobs.
It’s amazing, yet unsurprising, how intimately Armstrong understood the machine he trusted his life to.
This is why the early astronaut groups were legitimately required to be test pilots. They didn't just have cool heads, they had smart heads. An excellent test pilot is someone who has an engineer's mind and ability to thoroughly understand the systems he's flying and how they interact.
@@donjones4719 The video footage and photos of Armstrong being suited up in the ready room, his face/mind is so dialed in, rock solid concentration and seriousness. Truly the right stuff.
The discussion was amazing. The complexity of the various systems boggles the mind. The building of triple redundancy contrasts with making a manual option on a critical valve.
Seen some of this from Curious Marc, of course... love to hear you geeking out over it!
Lovely. Nothing like a couple of nerds geeking out on space junk, and as I know from a recent visit to an MG Car Club autojumble, one nerd's junk is another nerds gold, and this stuff is all 'gold'.
that salyut titanium tank is honestly one of the most fascinating things i have ever layed my eyes on. ive always wondered about long term exposure to space and micrometeor impacts. what a fine example. i am so so jealous you managed to go see Steves collection. Your content is sublime Scott and always has been.
What an astounding private collection. So glad that y'all shared with everyone!
Absolutely incredible start to finish!! Thanks, Scott
Your so lucky, what a collection and Steve is so enthusiastic about it, I had seen bits of this collection on Curious Marc`s channel and so glad to see more.
And so much of it is accessible!!! It's not all behind inch thick glass!!!
After flying model rockets back in the early to mid '70s, members of our rocket club would stop at the neighborhood Dairy Queen for food or ice cream. Since we were members of the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) we'd flown in competition launches and meets. If something went wrong during your model's flight, you'd suffer a "DQ" or disqualification. So we'd often consider "borrowing" a floor mat from the restaurant that had the slogan "You DQ here" printed on it.
🍦🙂👍
Thanks for taking us on that incredible tour. Really looking forward to watch part 2.
Just what i needed today! You da man Scott!
This is the church I should be worshiping at. Thank you both.
Wow, great tour Scott! And thanks to people like Steve who preserve history for us. Brought back a lot of great memories of the Apollo era.
Great tour ! He has his own air and space museum. 😊
Wonderful video! Love seeing how enthusiastic and knowledgeable both of you are.
That is some collection. I imagine outside of the Smithsonian, and NASA who can keep the big big pieces and hardware, there are few places that have such a broad array of kit representing a majority of manned spaceflight. Looking forward already to part 2.
Enjoying every second of the video 😊
NERD OVERLOAD thank you Scott for that amazing tour and to Steve for sharing his collection. WOW!!!!!
i dig steve he has such a amazing collection ..and has loaned curious marcs team items to repair to use to recrecreate the apollo moon landing ..cant wait to see pt 2
Wow Steve has an amazing historic collection of space flotsam and jetsam!
Love this guy's exuberance and amazing collection!
I can't wait for the 3000 page book Steve will write about his life / hobby. That guy have done so much. The entusiasme and knowledge is incredible
Wow thank you for sharing this amazing collection!!
Awesome one, Scott!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing part 2.
Thanks for sharing.
This is insanely cool! I could spend a whole week just admiring all these artifacts.
I have a photograph of apollo 11 capsule taken from the deck of the ship that retrieved the capsule. It was taken by a family friend who served that ship, he brought his personal camera and took the picture himself. I'd be happy to see it in a museum, even though I'd hate to let it go.
Luckily, photos can easily be scanned or copied. Just scan it and send the scan via email to the Smithsonian or other space museum - if you like you can offer them to make a copy for themselves or for them to scan it with a better scanner. Museums don't just collect originals - they quite often keep digital or analog copies of artifacts that reside in other museums or private collections in order to provide better context information to their own researchers and patrons. They also often borrow artifacts from other museums and private individuals to display them for a few months or do research with them and then hand them back.
Fascinating! Thank you!
Thank you for doing this tour on our behave! This gentleman collection is incredible, I am so thankful he shared it with you and the us by video!
This visit sounds like a school exam. The eager student is presenting his professor with the facts and details and the professor is assessing his knowledge and presentation.
So cool! You proved your humanity! Great post!
Very cool stuff, thanks Scott!
Wow. That is an amazing collection.
That was absolutely fascinating!!
Awaiting Part Two with great interest!
Totally amazing and probably doubling in worth every decade.
Amazing stuff, Great some one is collecting and looking after it
Very nice, looking forward to part 2
awesome video this has got to be the coolest nerdiest thing but im all for it!
17:41 "Michael Collins’ Chronograph"
I believe this moon watch is gifted from Omega to Collins. All the NASA official issued Speedmaster watches are government property and needed to be return after the mission. After one astronaut attempted to bough one home failed, Omega gives identical one to each astronaut who participated the moon mission.
Many deep dive-worth items here, thanks!
Steve has offered me that tour, and I haven’t taken him up on it. Scott is way more knowledgable than I am about this stuff.
Networking I guess? Nothing on the internet about location or appointments.
Incredible collection!
THIS is an AMAZING VIDEO!!!! Thank you for posting this, Scott!! As a spaceflight fan, it makes my heart sing!! 😍😍😍😍
Thanks Scott great episode
This is AMAZING! What I wouldn't give to see this collection or start my own :D
I love his passion, I hope he is a good human. Also your passion Scott is just as incredible.
Fascinating
02:20 There is a scene in "Apollo 13" where they show how that worked
04:04 "ejection charges hopefully removed" sounds pretty confident
13:09 Is the Tesla also part of the debris section? (Sorry could not resist)
21:53 Ben Krasnov once said he would love to start up one of these fuelcells. I still hope that happens someday.
This is a Treat for Eyes 🚀 So cool
Thank you for sharing...
18:37 Mike Collins' Omega Speedmaster watch. Buzz wore his on the outside of his spacesuit, visible in photos. Neil's watch was strapped to the LEM control panel to act as a backup for a failed cockpit clock. Sadly, Buzz's watch went missing after the mission, likely stolen during shipping back to Houston.
What a wonderful video. The kid in me is very very happy.
That dude is so proud of his collection and me too
Finally, after seeing this place a lot of times on Marc's channel... a tour!!!!
Finally!!!
I wish he gave tours, this is amazing!
Okay so that is really cool!
Very fascinating!
This can only be described as max geek ❤
Space geek EXPLOSION. VAPORIZED.
This guy is AMAZING
This should belong in a (public) museum!
Very impressive Scott.
wow - f'n awesome. Love the shovel/arm rest and the Skylab shoe thing.
*Great video, Scott!*
Love it!
What a fabulous use of great wealth and real enthusiasm.
A genuine rocket/space nerd!
OMG a Space Nuts Paradise so Much Cool Parts there Amazing Thanks Scott Loved this Vlog thanks
The Daily Express got those Luna 9 pics since they were a paper which Jodrell Bank knew had a rare in those days fax machine.
Very neat!
lovely collection..
This collection is beyond amazing. Steve has the magic combination: Money, and connections & admirers in the aerospace community.
Plus knowledge, interest and enthusiasm.
Nice work Scott!
Amazing
Awesome!
So cool!!!
The part discussing the micrometeorite impacts was the best haha, love the process of piecing together a science question from the evidence.
You can just feel the burning passion, it makes this so joyful to watch in multiple ways
Who cares about getting the prefect video and audio.
Content is king. Raw iPhone camera is still great.
🤣🤣🤣
Love you guys, never change!
What an amazing, important collection. Would be great if the public could come see it, I know there's a lot of space nerds that would love to. At least we have your videos to show us some of it though.
