The “EMERGEN” call at 25:04 is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard. No jumpscare or spooky noise is more terrifying than that. It tells a cruel story.
The thing that makes it scary is that you can hear panic and fear in his voice. He cries out for help, and before he could finish, no one could hear him anymore.

Of course, it would be much better if this video was made in metric instead. It is the international set of units of measurement, and he has an international audience. If everyone just started using metric now, we could go towards using metric for everything eventually.
Alan Eustace is the speed runner that no one knows of, and out of nowhere claims a world record. Everyone doubts him until he shows a new, more efficient, method of ascension.
I remember reading about that years ago in a book about unlikely survival stories. It was such a freaking 1 in a million chance, and she was the only person who survived that crash.
It's probably because the google guy didn't make a spectacle out of it like redbull did (and they should, since they're an energy drink company trying to sell a product) You can't even watch google guy's full jump on youtube since they didn't post the full on-board cameras.
Imagine training your whole life as an astronaut and have the backing of a large company to beat a 50 year old jump world record and doing it... and then get beat by a middle aged computer nerd from google with no prior experiences 2 years later.
This is aviation in a nutshell. Famed aviator Tex Johnston did a barrel roll in a Boeing 707, for most pilots a kind of maneuver like that in an airliner is unfathomable. Then a couple years ago Richard Russell, a grounds crew guy who had no prior flying experience beyond “video games” did the same thing when he stole a Q400, and before unfortunately killing himself afterwards. A lot of the time with aviation records it’s more a challenge of whose got the bigger balls than who has the most skill. Or as test pilots call it, “pushing the envelope”.
Immediately came to this video after I heard of Joe Kittinger's passing, his career was truly remarkable. Rest in peace Kittinger, you may be gone, but you will not be forgotten.
If you're referring to Mike Hughes, he was just a daredevil pretending to be a flat earther so they would fund his rocket launches. It's a shame tricking flat earthers has become his legacy
@Please Complete All Fields you seem to know more than I do so I'll take your word for it. My understanding was one of the first things his PR guys did after he died was to try to separate his image from FE belief. like you said he would have to have known his rockets werent the most effective way to see the curvature of the Earth.
It kinda surprises me that the whole world knew of and saw Felix baumgartners jump, but I never heard of Alan's record breaker till now. Anyone else miss that too?
Same here. I was sure the endpoint of the vid is the Baumgarthers jump. Damn, I hardly recalled about Alan while reading your comment, meaning, just half an hour after watching the vid. I haven't had enough sleep though.
Yep totally. I suppose the novelty of breaking the record that had held for fifty years was interesting and newsworthy, but only two years later even though setting a new record it's also "just another guy jumping from near space like that other dude just did" kind of way.
It's hilarious how Eustace just saw Baumgartner like "Hey, that looks fun. I want to try it". And he just did, and boom. Just like that. Old man, first try, no big show, no big promotion.
Emplemon has an uncanny gift of talking about something I've never heard of or didnt care about (This, Dale Earnhardt, Hungry Box) and making me feel like an expert once the video finishes
Most definitely. He can upload about anything and we'll watch it since he's built up that credibility of proving he makes everything more interesting. Or rather, he understands how to highlight what makes a subject interesting and can trust us to have an attention span superior to that of a gerbil.
Emp has fully undergone a transformation into a really entertaining and informative channel on the likes of Whang, wavywebsurf, and Fredrick Knudsen. But on some accounts, and in my personal opinion, he's better than them all. I love that you finally decided to make videos about whatever the fuck you want regardless of how much exposure you might get from it. I'm aware that this has been going on for a while now with the never ever series but I still think that around this time it finally actually shows that you've fully grown up from your old type of videos and is on looking for greener pastures.
To some extent I miss the YTPs. Poopers are kind of an endangered species on the platform, and the good ones tend to offer a very unique kind of comedy not really seen anywhere else.
@@MultiverseMediaSpace Definitely good but I'm not sure if it's the best. I think Emp's has more editing and visuals which makes it a better experience. It's all a matter of opinion ofc
God damn it, I was so emotionally invested in the whole Felix arc: after 50 years of failed attempts, broken dreams and daredevils on the edge of glory, the record still stood, high and mighty. The skies had proven to be an unbearable trial of courage for most jumpers. But not all of them. There was still one, the one with a fearless heart and determined spirit. A man of sheer fucking will. And not only that, but he was standing on the shoulders of the great Joe Kittinger himself. He had passed his wisdom to Felix and it was now time to shatter the frontier that had broken so many before him. Each test, each attempt was one step closer to the ultimate goal. Then, the time had come. Felix was in position, standing on the edge of the world, admiring what he had worked so hard for. The stakes where high, and, with the hopes and dreams of mankind weighing down on his shoulders, he took the leap. People would then be subjected to the longest five minutes in existance, silently witnessing as the man came thundering down from the heavens above, uncertain of what the next moments would bring. But he did it. Felix had written history. At last, after half a century of heartbreak and sorrow, he had he obliterated the record that had chained humanity for so long. He was a hero. And Kittinger, after finally passing the mantle to a new generation, he could finally rest... And then like the most random of dudes, a computer scientist that didn't even have skydiving experience, the god damn Gary Stu of skydivers just swoops down and yoinks the record on his first try. Like... what?? Not hating on the guy btw, nothing but mad respect for him. I just think the whole thing is kinda funny.
Software engineers, like any other kind of engineer, find a problem they want to solve and then analyze the exact minimum requirements to solve it effectively. A lot of the people (not including the government programs of course) attempting this jump height record weren't really engineers themselves, they'd just gotten help from engineers with certain things. Eustace, being an engineer and having some money, figured out exactly what requirements he would have to solve and solved them before making any attempts, thus saving him from a bunch of expensive experimentation and securing his victory.
EVERYONE heard about the redbull jump i didnt even know the record had been broken until i watched this though kittinger might not even know it was broken lmaooo
I still remember Felix's jump like it was yesterday. I had a regatta the same day with my rowing team when a teammate took out his phone and showed everyone the livestream. As a middle school kid, I wasn't really able to grasp how ambitious the jump was at the time. I ended being far more impressed with the fact that I was in a tent along a river with seemingly no internet access and was witnessing an event happening live thousands of feet up on the other side of the country. Crazy to think we've come as far as we have today where almost anyone can stream live from virtually anywhere and even make a living off of it.
Same! I actually geeked out for a second when I realized it happened almost 9 years ago! My cousin-in-law called me and told me about it, I watched it live from my laptop in my bedroom. Like you said, feels like just yesterday.
@ Honestly, I did not expect that he would be really good at making these documentaries, the fact that he makes a topic I'm not interested in enjoyable to watch is surprising.
I love how he mentions the finality of great falls and shows Emperor Palpatine falling when the modern star wars movies completely ruined any finality the scene was intended to have.
Many stories use the "Great fall" and a "rebirth" as a christ metaphor in the case of LOTR. Super Mario is a video game so respawns are a mechanic. Palpatine returning in the sequel trilogy is bad writing.
He's literally been doing this for almost two years now. So maybe get the facts right and do A SIMPLE view of his channel to see, or don't comment at all.
@@gasaiyuno6021 >literally replies by missing the joke and taking it too seriously also no he was doing it since 2015, so you try again and do some research you pleb. GG.
This is such a well put together video. You pack so much content into the half hour, and the pacing and editing are absolutely perfect. There are a lot of video essayists/amateur documentarists on here and it’s really easy to put together a mildly informative, slightly poppy product on some popular topic and for it to do really well, so you’re truly a cut above the rest. The music is also really well done. I’m a big fan of you Emp.
“One day, without any warning, there was a new person on the top of the leader boards. His name… was Matt Turk. He didn’t offer any video evidence but he had a picture of himself on the moon with a deflated ballon and shoes with springs on the bottom. In this image, he held a note with three words, ‘coming back down.’”
"For most of us, that number never exceeds a few feet." It's funny that despite being a paratrooper for years, my record of 15,000ft was done as a civilian. Most of my military jumps were from 600-800ft. 15,000ft sounds scarier but actually it's way safer. At 600ft you don't have any time to correct mistakes or problems.
Yhe people always asks me what the highest i've jumped from, never how low i've gone. At a certain point Base jumps are basically only mountain skydives with a lot of room for error, when at a certain low point you don't have any margins at all. This is my lowest jump i ever made at 124 feet, didn't even pop my brakes. I've friends who've gone lower but cant find their video: ua-cam.com/video/QC2DB6QIqME/v-deo.html And btw this is me knowingly the lowest skydive, which is ballsy in its own way considering the gear: ua-cam.com/video/LUbvsXGyrD0/v-deo.html
@@JohanMood I was invited to jump from the Royal Gorge Bridge in 1980, but did a gut check and decided I wasn't skilled enough at the time- I think I had less than thirty jumps at the time. 124 feet? Wouldn't it be easier to just set up a stuntman's airbag? The lowest I ever jumped was 885 feet on the Skyjump abseil off the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas. That was the closest I ever got to a base jump, it's cheating since there's no canopy to deploy, but 18 seconds top to bottom is still a pretty good rush.
I have no idea but this legitimately my second favorite video ever, right behind your Dale Earnhardt video. Please do more videos like this. Maybe one about the record of depth in the ocean?
I can imagine Kittenger's thoughts during the glove incident. *"My hand is swelling up like the balloon carrying me. Screw it, I'm jumping anyway."* I think they needed a bigger chute because his balls are so big.
He realised the glove was torn before he even left the ground(or very shortly after, I don't remember.). And it was his left hand, not his right. You can see him cradling it to his body in the photo of the hand shake
That was stupid air jokey (jet pilot) mentality. He was afraid his boys would think he does not have the "right stuff" in him. There is a whole book about it. Aptly named The Right Stuff. He actually risked his mission and the fate of the whole program on his childish pride.
Yes, we are all sure and there was no return, Vaders sacrifice was never in vein and it was a full-filling story where it chronologically ended at the "Return of the Jedi"
This is one of the very few channels left on this website that feels like it has the same magic as old UA-cam. Thank you for keeping that alive, EmpLemon.
“There’s something so absolute about its outcome, to question it would be to question one’s own sanity.” Shows Palpatine falling into a pit and exploding, which he survives.
That was the intention behind the scene though, so he's kind of right. George said he wanted to mark that he couldn't come back and Anakin had absolutely killed him, exploding violently.
Joe Kittiner's words really say something, the fact he was risking his life to test how far can the human body endure through the lines of sky and space really says a lot and just testing the lines they can go to save human lives and not caring setting a world record speaks volumes to me. Rest in peace Joe Kittner and may his words never be forgotten.
@@Laiser it’s not a parody not even close, and a tribute is not a parody either. a parody has to involve imitation of which there is none in this video. unless you’re referring to something else in this video?
@@Laiser Parodies *cannot* be in a mocking manner, since it would then become satire. However, parodies need to have some aspect that's inherently over exaggerated or hyperbolic in nature. Think Megamind, OPM, etc. Satire is essentially the same but made to criticize the media it satirizes. The only part of this video that can even be remotely considered hyperbolic or a "parody" is the third title card. However even that doesn't count as parody since the distortion implies satire as a way to communicate that Emp felt SS uses too many cards. TL;DR this isn't parody, it's an homage
@Taiga's Tunes I like how, at first, "piracy" was used to convey stealing a ship or a vehicle of any kind, and that was used as a metaphor for stealing digital data, and now stealing vehicles is conveyed in a "stealing digital data" type of piracy lol
Felix: ha! I have finally been able to secure Joe Kittinger’s blessing after a lot of training, i now have the highest free fall record Some random guy at google: lmao no
Emp, I would just like to let you know that this video is one of my all-time favourite videos on all of UA-cam. I've rewatched this video so many times. Excellent job my man.
Emp seriously has some of the best editing and scripting I’ve ever seen. Goes to show that anyone can make anything super engaging if they spin it right
My favorite thing about EmpLemon is that he makes videos on whatever he finds interesting and it means I never know what to expect next. Keeps things fresh and often times I learn something new whenever he uploads.
I’ve watched this video 4 times now. Every time I’m left in awe of the feats these people performed and your ability as a film maker and story teller. Thank you for sharing with us.
"Project Man-High" reminds me of that family guy joke where the guy who names military Operations is on vacation so they just call it "Operation Blow up Peter's House" or something
probably but unlike other topics 1.- the current record holder is not the interesting part, is the whole progression and some other guys 2.- this record may be broken in the future as suggested here
@@Thndrstrike Never ever a Joe kittinger would be more fitting since he was an actual pioneer testing his pressure suit and new parachute designs. Not many will ever have the balls Joe kittinger had on those test flights, especially the third with his depressurized glove.
I swear I have seen a whole video talking about this great achievement and they didn't talk about Alan Eustice at all, as if he didn't even do it. I now wonder if the video was made before 2014.
Second time watching this still just as oddly fascinating, idk why but I love learning about useless knowledge, in terms of day to day life, the way EmpLemon constructs and presents these types of videos is so refreashing and enjoyable. Good job man, i love watching your content pls continue. Well done EmpLemon.
I really like how you're branching off into this category of the testing of human limits. Strength, speed, endurance, I could see all of them being equally entertaining if you ever decide to do them. Keep up the great work.
Piantinida: *Tragic Story of a man who was willing to spend so much effort for a world record and sacrificing years only to meet his demise.* Alan Eustace with no skydiving or extreme stunt experience with millions of dollar: *Lol, just broke the record. Was fun.*
If he spends his money on a business venture instead and hopefully gains some success then after 10-20 years he could just pay a group of professional to make his dream a reality The world is such a pragmatic place after all
...so? What's the point of having money if not for doing stuff you deem fun and are unharmful for other people? Did he do something bad just because he's got more money than the most of us? I mean, isn't this why we all work and try and earn more money than minimum wage? I'm currently saving money to get a license to sail small boats. I don't even know how to swim and am shitscared of being in any body of water larger than my sink, but, shit, that seems cool as fuck, just sailing to whatever.
@@georgemen Bruh, the person was not attacking the guy for spending his money on trying to make a world record. That’s fine. The person was pointing out how sad it was that someone spent so much money only for them to die, while another person spent nothing and gained what the person died for. There’s nothing wrong with spending your money on something you’re passionate about and which doesn’t hurt anyone inherently. It’s just sad that someone died with so much lost.
He certianly was inspired by Jon bois- the writting is stupid simular the graph- the music placement- if you havent yet go watch jon bois hell make you fall in love with sports.
Wait only 10 million watched the jump? I remember being glued to my laptop in school about to witness history. So cool that Kittinger blessed the project as well. And he's still with us at 94!!
Interesting tidbit: Here in Croatia we've always been told in school and such that Faust Vrančić (Fausto Veranzio) actually built the chute and jumped off a tower in front of a crowd in Venice and survived. Genuinely did not know that wasn't actually confirmed until a few months ago.
24:19 Me: "HELL YEAH NICK! LET'S G-" *Nick's name turns red* *_Oh shit._* *he survives and is doing it again* Me: Okay, let's g- 24:54 "But this time, he would pay the ultimate price." *OH SHIT OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

Incredible story, her name is Vesna though.

Imagine training your whole life as an astronaut and have the backing of a large company to beat a 50 year old jump world record and doing it...
and then get beat by a middle aged computer nerd from google with no prior experiences 2 years later.
he sees it

he's got it
no bullshit lol
He isn't an astronaut.
This is aviation in a nutshell. Famed aviator Tex Johnston did a barrel roll in a Boeing 707, for most pilots a kind of maneuver like that in an airliner is unfathomable. Then a couple years ago Richard Russell, a grounds crew guy who had no prior flying experience beyond “video games” did the same thing when he stole a Q400, and before unfortunately killing himself afterwards. A lot of the time with aviation records it’s more a challenge of whose got the bigger balls than who has the most skill. Or as test pilots call it, “pushing the envelope”.
I mean... if you're a google exec, then you have all the resources in the world to get this kind of project started

so what your telling me is, that guy who died in his homemade rocket to try and see the shape of the horizon could have just used a hot air balloon?
Yes.
If you're referring to Mike Hughes, he was just a daredevil pretending to be a flat earther so they would fund his rocket launches.
It's a shame tricking flat earthers has become his legacy
@Please Complete All Fields you seem to know more than I do so I'll take your word for it.
My understanding was one of the first things his PR guys did after he died was to try to separate his image from FE belief. like you said he would have to have known his rockets werent the most effective way to see the curvature of the Earth.
he was showing his rocket off at cafe 247 in my home town. he was def faking the flat earth stuff

Same here. I was sure the endpoint of the vid is the Baumgarthers jump. Damn, I hardly recalled about Alan while reading your comment, meaning, just half an hour after watching the vid. I haven't had enough sleep though.
Yep totally. I suppose the novelty of breaking the record that had held for fifty years was interesting and newsworthy, but only two years later even though setting a new record it's also "just another guy jumping from near space like that other dude just did" kind of way.

But on some accounts, and in my personal opinion, he's better than them all. I love that you finally decided to make videos about whatever the fuck you want regardless of how much exposure you might get from it. I'm aware that this has been going on for a while now with the never ever series but I still think that around this time it finally actually shows that you've fully grown up from your old type of videos and is on looking for greener pastures.

God damn it, I was so emotionally invested in the whole Felix arc: after 50 years of failed attempts, broken dreams and daredevils on the edge of glory, the record still stood, high and mighty. The skies had proven to be an unbearable trial of courage for most jumpers. But not all of them. There was still one, the one with a fearless heart and determined spirit. A man of sheer fucking will. And not only that, but he was standing on the shoulders of the great Joe Kittinger himself. He had passed his wisdom to Felix and it was now time to shatter the frontier that had broken so many before him. Each test, each attempt was one step closer to the ultimate goal.
Then, the time had come. Felix was in position, standing on the edge of the world, admiring what he had worked so hard for. The stakes where high, and, with the hopes and dreams of mankind weighing down on his shoulders, he took the leap. People would then be subjected to the longest five minutes in existance, silently witnessing as the man came thundering down from the heavens above, uncertain of what the next moments would bring.
But he did it. Felix had written history. At last, after half a century of heartbreak and sorrow, he had he obliterated the record that had chained humanity for so long. He was a hero. And Kittinger, after finally passing the mantle to a new generation, he could finally rest...
And then like the most random of dudes, a computer scientist that didn't even have skydiving experience, the god damn Gary Stu of skydivers just swoops down and yoinks the record on his first try. Like... what??
Not hating on the guy btw, nothing but mad respect for him. I just think the whole thing is kinda funny.
That guy is a absoloute madlad
Software engineers, like any other kind of engineer, find a problem they want to solve and then analyze the exact minimum requirements to solve it effectively. A lot of the people (not including the government programs of course) attempting this jump height record weren't really engineers themselves, they'd just gotten help from engineers with certain things. Eustace, being an engineer and having some money, figured out exactly what requirements he would have to solve and solved them before making any attempts, thus saving him from a bunch of expensive experimentation and securing his victory.
he probably did it because he thought it would be funny too

I still remember Felix's jump like it was yesterday. I had a regatta the same day with my rowing team when a teammate took out his phone and showed everyone the livestream. As a middle school kid, I wasn't really able to grasp how ambitious the jump was at the time. I ended being far more impressed with the fact that I was in a tent along a river with seemingly no internet access and was witnessing an event happening live thousands of feet up on the other side of the country. Crazy to think we've come as far as we have today where almost anyone can stream live from virtually anywhere and even make a living off of it.

"For most of us, that number never exceeds a few feet." It's funny that despite being a paratrooper for years, my record of 15,000ft was done as a civilian.

The lowest I ever jumped was 885 feet on the Skyjump abseil off the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas. That was the closest I ever got to a base jump, it's cheating since there's no canopy to deploy, but 18 seconds top to bottom is still a pretty good rush.

I think they needed a bigger chute because his balls are so big.
Then the first thing the crew does is shake that hand when he lands.
He realised the glove was torn before he even left the ground(or very shortly after, I don't remember.). And it was his left hand, not his right. You can see him cradling it to his body in the photo of the hand shake
That was stupid air jokey (jet pilot) mentality. He was afraid his boys would think he does not have the "right stuff" in him. There is a whole book about it. Aptly named The Right Stuff.

I remember I was really pissed when Emp Lemon stoped making YTPs, gotta say it was probably the best decision he could've made
Emp, I would just like to let you know that this video is one of my all-time favourite videos on all of UA-cam. I've rewatched this video so many times. Excellent job my man.
I don't even care what EmpLemon makes a video about, *_i just know it's gonna be quality_*
EmpLemon could make a video on the intricacies of yeast and I would watch it
EXACTLY!!
“What a lame idea for a video.”
Six minutes later
“Okay. I’m hooked.”
EmpLemon has that effect no?
Imagine thinking an emp lemon video is gonna be boring.
Emp seriously has some of the best editing and scripting I’ve ever seen. Goes to show that anyone can make anything super engaging if they spin it right
I guess you can say you were skyhooked
normie trash
My favorite thing about EmpLemon is that he makes videos on whatever he finds interesting and it means I never know what to expect next. Keeps things fresh and often times I learn something new whenever he uploads.
I’ve watched this video 4 times now. Every time I’m left in awe of the feats these people performed and your ability as a film maker and story teller. Thank you for sharing with us.
"Project Man-High" reminds me of that family guy joke where the guy who names military Operations is on vacation so they just call it "Operation Blow up Peter's House" or something
Something tells me this script started out as a 'Never Ever'
probably but unlike other topics
1.- the current record holder is not the interesting part, is the whole progression and some other guys
2.- this record may be broken in the future as suggested here
It's done like the Summoning salt videoes
"There will Never Ever be another Felix Baümgartner... Fuck, there was"
@@KokiriKidLink thought i was the only one, when i first saw the title i thought this was a summoning salt video
@@Thndrstrike Never ever a Joe kittinger would be more fitting since he was an actual pioneer testing his pressure suit and new parachute designs. Not many will ever have the balls Joe kittinger had on those test flights, especially the third with his depressurized glove.
I'd never even heard of Alan Eustice's record jump, but that's the power of Red Bull.
exactly what I was thinking
Redbull gives you wings.
I swear I have seen a whole video talking about this great achievement and they didn't talk about Alan Eustice at all, as if he didn't even do it.
I now wonder if the video was made before 2014.
LMAO 3:46 in the corner, Also this is him when he started vs now lol
@@Duzty what?
Your editing is just amazing, this is definitely one of my favorite videos on UA-cam!
Moral of the story: you can’t hold the highest jump record without “er” in your name.
nikolai niktin
@@ONE-vt1fz yeah but does he have the world record
@@Skibidicum99 he did, for a time
ohhh but he said _hold_ the record. fair.
Alan Eustace
What about Alan Eustace?
He doesn't have "r" in his name, let alone "er"
You see, this is how my parents claimed they had to do to get to school every day, so I thought it was just an average feat.
Why do I see you in the comment section of every video?!

“Highest you’ve ever jumped?”
255 blocks but I mlg water bucketed so I’m good
Did u plank the whole way down?
255? Pft
Fly up until your elytra breaks mate.
Second time watching this still just as oddly fascinating, idk why but I love learning about useless knowledge, in terms of day to day life, the way EmpLemon constructs and presents these types of videos is so refreashing and enjoyable.
Good job man, i love watching your content pls continue. Well done EmpLemon.
The highest “so guys we did it” ever done
Wouldn't that be the highest dive? In that case the highest space dive was set by Alan Eustace at 135,000 feet.
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 I think the joke flew 135,000 feet over your head

@@aldxbaran I mean you can't even get mad that was pretty clever
I really like how you're branching off into this category of the testing of human limits. Strength, speed, endurance, I could see all of them being equally entertaining if you ever decide to do them. Keep up the great work.
Hi Crabs, hope you're enjoying your break
a land speed record vid would have a lot to talk about
@@ThePhantom4516 I've been thinking about making a video like that
Alternate title of the video:
"There will probably some time be another jumper like Alan Eustace."
That's a terrible title lmao

Piantinida: *Tragic Story of a man who was willing to spend so much effort for a world record and sacrificing years only to meet his demise.*
Alan Eustace with no skydiving or extreme stunt experience with millions of dollar: *Lol, just broke the record. Was fun.*
God that made me sad.
If he spends his money on a business venture instead and hopefully gains some success then after 10-20 years he could just pay a group of professional to make his dream a reality
The world is such a pragmatic place after all
...so? What's the point of having money if not for doing stuff you deem fun and are unharmful for other people? Did he do something bad just because he's got more money than the most of us? I mean, isn't this why we all work and try and earn more money than minimum wage? I'm currently saving money to get a license to sail small boats. I don't even know how to swim and am shitscared of being in any body of water larger than my sink, but, shit, that seems cool as fuck, just sailing to whatever.
@@georgemen Bruh, the person was not attacking the guy for spending his money on trying to make a world record. That’s fine. The person was pointing out how sad it was that someone spent so much money only for them to die, while another person spent nothing and gained what the person died for. There’s nothing wrong with spending your money on something you’re passionate about and which doesn’t hurt anyone inherently. It’s just sad that someone died with so much lost.
From edgy memes to documentaries about human achievement, nice channel progression.

Perfectly balanced, as all should be.
24:20 is a wrench to the heart, emplemons storytelling is what makes these vids so good
Wait only 10 million watched the jump? I remember being glued to my laptop in school about to witness history. So cool that Kittinger blessed the project as well. And he's still with us at 94!!
It was 2012, after all. The Internet was not as massively used as it is today.
Interesting tidbit: Here in Croatia we've always been told in school and such that Faust Vrančić (Fausto Veranzio) actually built the chute and jumped off a tower in front of a crowd in Venice and survived. Genuinely did not know that wasn't actually confirmed until a few months ago.
Another croatian watching emplemon? Čovjek od kulture, vidim.

Imagine him actually informing the crew right as he made the jump.
Aside from the fact that he couldn't actually, you know, flex his hand. Because it was so swollen.

One gets the sense that Joseph Kittinger was a man born about ten or twenty years too early. Imagine him as an astronaut!

Absolutely, if he was born at little later he very well could’ve jumped on the moon
idk if he would have been qualified, maybe tho.

Fun fact: the Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard was the real life inspiration behind Hergé's Professor Calculus in the the Tintin comic books
Wow guys, this is some truly incredible production. Style, music and flow all uniquely awesome the whole way through.
Weird subject. Never thought I'd actually be this interested in something like this. I feel like I'm watching a Fredrik Knudsen video, but with more memes.
The presentation of the video is similar to Summoing Salt, who covers the World Record History of video game speedruns.
emplemon has that affect
he can make you interested in something you previously had no interest in.
This feels like summoning salt on real life.
Also, I rewatched this after getting into the emperor's other content, and now it feels weird. Still good, but... now it feels like an off brand of himself.
True
Even using the same music as SS.
