I guess the NASA didn't understand the gravity of the situation
The puns 🤣
No
Dundun DUNNnnnnn...
You can say they... SPACEd... out when building the schedules
Maybe they thought that the world revolved around them.
Imagine going on strike in space and mission control saying "Oh, thats alright. We can replace you." and leaving you up there.
Kyle Li leaving something really expensive, not an option
Kyle Li yeah but you’re on a multimillion dollar space home that belongs to nasa. I guarantee you leave me up there I’d destroy ever single computer. I’m gonna die anyway right? I’d Blow the dam thing up. Thats why nasa complied cause astronauts don’t give a f*ck and are all smart enough to get what they want. They could do way more damage than me.
that's elon musk missions after he stops tweeting about mason jars
they're kinda replacable, but if they're suicidal they could've threatened to destroy valuable electronics and research data, with research data being even more irreplaceable than they are
This is Patrick exactly.
EA: You want to use the bathroom? That'll be $32,400.
Sounds a lot like Ryanair in a decades time
When the price converts and increases from £1/€1, that is.
There was no bathROOM on Skylab nor a locked stall door to enforce a toilet toll. The toilet seat was vertical on the side of a wall.

I don’t know, _can_ you?
I got no beaches, but at least I had the biggest ufo sighting!
I see you finally upgraded from airplanes to spaceships. Congratulations!
Next: Spaceplanes
Marcel Lindner: I bet that is going to blow up.
Heh, only once or twice...
Marcel Lindner we have those they are called McDonald Douglass DC-10s bruh :)
There are actually several spaceplanes (though only three classes have orbital capacity - Space Shuttle, Buran and X-37 - only the first of those ever brought people into orbit). So far, two of them blew up during operation, Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia with their crews of 7 each killed (though a Buran was crushed when its hangar collapsed - considering its operational history, probably no fatalities (though you can't really be sure - it's Russia after all)).
Astronauts: strike! Strike! Strike!
NASA: have fun staying up there then
Astronauts: ok ok I’ll stop now
They didn't plan that through now did they
*We'll
Lol.
That would cost billions of dollars if we just abandoned the space station.
Adrian Gonzaga no need to abandon the space station, food/water/air would run out sometime haha
@2:59 "They were also tasked with completing spacewalks, but the astronauts reported there was no pressure during these"
Please give your writer a raise, that was glorious.
That was one of the smartest jokes I've ever heard!
it flew right over my head
Oh my god these puns are awfully good.
Astronomically good!
sander heutink They're out of this world!
You’re profile pic is amazing, A shiba with glasses
@@adhynugroho9424 damn it, I was a year to late to make that CHEESY pun
"They wanted to prove that humans could live for extended periods in space without dying"
Yes... that's what living means...
Space pirates! Arrrrrstronauts.
FutureNow go home. Get out.
I hope you know that sounds like arse-tronauts and arse means the same thing as ass
Har Har har
FutureNow Why.
Archer:how could I forget the space pirates

"No country has won more Super Bowls". HAHAHAHAHA
Also, no other country has commited a genocide and brags about it. Australia, Germany and Japan have (tried to) make things better for the victim's descendants. Turkey and China silence the victims and deny the Armenian and Tiananmen Square genocides. Ameica is the only one to commit genocide and proudly mock the victims
Boti Gamer what the fuck are you on about lmao
@@yaboijoe2080 Hes probably talking about how indians were, like literally every culture that didnt think it was necessary to modernize itself steamrolled when the americans made a theory that their colour tone must come from oil in their blood.
@@slyseal2091 Don't categorize all Americans as people like that. Most of the people I know don't believe in that dumb stuff. It's mostly people that are politically very, very far left.
@@yaboijoe2080 What did i categorize the americans as? I havent said anything about their motives except for the oil thing which was an obvious joke.
Aw, NASA wanted to go to mars in the 80’s. That’s kinda sad.
Tyler Zellers maybe they're on mars right now who tf knows
Khizar Yousuf They're not. And to answer your question: "who tf knows" Maybe uh... Everyone?
It's almost like they don't have the money to do these sorts of things.
speedy01247 nah that crazy, as crazy as the us spending more on building more guns than exploring space. That’d be ludicrous!
Kyle Lee and right here we see someone without common sense
This is a great story, but unfortunately, it's not true. While there was a lot of tension around the work schedule, the radio contact was not cut on purpose, and the day they took off was entirely within protocol.
Gerald Carr:
"So finally, at a point in the mission, I guess it was the third, maybe the fourth day off we were to have. We kind of set up a ten-day week, and the tenth day of each week was to be a day off, and we could do what we wanted on the day off. That was to be our shower day, too, when we could take a shower in the little makeshift shower that we had.
Well, we gave back our day off the first three or so times, two or three times. We said, "Go ahead and schedule us, and we'll try to do some makeup." Well, we got to the point where the morale was low. We weren't feeling too good. We were getting tired. So we said, "Let's take our day off and maybe a good day's rest will get us back in good shape again and we can begin to maintain the pace."
So we took our day off and did what we wanted to do. We all took a shower. Bill and I did some reading and some looking out the window, doing Earth observations, photographs and things. Ed played at the ATM panel and did some little rough experiments and did some observations ad lib. We had a good day. One of the things we did is we got careless with our radios and we forgot to configure for one of our passes, so when we went AOS [acquisition of signal] over one of the sites, people on the ground called us and we didn't answer them. So the press just thought that was wonderful. They said, "Look at that. These testy old crabby astronauts up there won't even answer the radio now. They've turned off their radio and they won't listen to the people on the ground." So we have lived under that stigma all these years, but basically it was we just got careless and we were busy doing other things and didn't think to configure our radios. For some reason they couldn't get through to us and we missed a pass, and I think it caused a certain level of concern down there."

A. A. This need more likes
This should be pinned
Will Half As Interesting post a correction?
Yes, thank you for posting the true story
Seconding the pinning request
I love that transition from the ISS to the logo.
As a student in Paris, I actually spit my water when he mentioned the whole strike despite not being French joke 😂😂 They go on strike on just about anything!
France also has higher wages higher productivity and higher standard of living than the USA. . They also have free hospitals. hear that America. Free healthcare free education of a high standard
... They're also not a nation of morbidly obese people. FRANCE IS AWESOME.. Americans love to diss France. You want to Know why. Because USA is jealous.
accessaf This is exactly how you convince people to believe of the exact opposite of what you're saying. If it's such a good place you wouldn't have to defend it like an insecure child.
Yeah France surrenders
The Linux Vector Actually, Americans earn more than the French. Small factual error there.
@@waterdrinkingexpert6797 Americans earn about ~$2000USD more yearly than the French, but there is a significantly larger poverty rate, which is really the most relevant statistic. France at 8.3% as of 2017, while US was at 17%. While France does have its own problems, and is culturally very different from the US, it is ranked higher on nearly every quality of life scale.
I had to rewatch this video because I kept spacing out.
I should get back to work.
I see what u did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Dude you typed 3 comments and they 're all at the top
I feel you. 😂
Lol!!
I love the Animator's Fun Facts
are the typos intentional trolling? There are two misspelled words in today's fun facts. I feel like the Animator is baiting me...
I can barely see them though
Pause the video, then use the , and . keys to go backward or forward one frame at a time.
One thing that is definitely not safe to strike in a space station is a match.
Arsonauts? Anyone?
But you can find out where it is safe to light a match by signing up for Brilliant.org
actually i think it is safe
that's just not true, they are safe with fire up there.
But if you want to find a match, you can create a dating website on squarespace…
"The U.S. is no stranger to winning, no country has won more super bowls"
Lmao
What is a Super Bowl
Ik it's a sport but what
@@itismethatguy It's the biggest Rugby tournament in the US. But they play it with protective gear.
But i'm not quite sure about it.
The sentence is funny, because it is a national tournament.
@@mahazero nah it's a little different then rugby
@@darealist690 Yes, I read a little. The US version is tailored to the US market. Lots of breaks, shorter game, heavier less athletic players.
It's nice that the US has developed its own simplified version.
And how they market the game it is really impressive.
0:19 _"The US is _*_no_*_ stranger to winning. No country has won more Super Bowls."_ That comment just made my day haha. The arrogance and self-absorbing attitude is so on point.
“The US is not stranger to winning. No country has won more superbowl....” hahahaha
No country has lost more
“They weren’t even French” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They probably just spaced out from their work.
LCC nice
Regarding the numbering, there was one unmanned mission (the launch), and 3 manned mission. The launch was mission Skylab 1. The subsequent manned missions were Skylab 2-4.
I find 3 jokes funny:
1: The cost joke
2: The French strike joke
3: The Space Pirates joke.
I really don't get how does people not find 2:59 hilarious
@@santiagoortizdetaranco1234 I thought maybe I was the only one who noticed! "No pressure." Heh 😀
"There was no pressure during the space walks"
I'd like to think so.
1:00 Shouldn't that be cubic units? It makes an astronomical difference.
lmao just imagine a 1600 square ft sheet of paper floating on space
NiRe yea, doesn't sound all that comfortable.
Yeah astronomical
The moral of the story is striking really does improve quality of life and work.
And they weren’t even French???
Certainly not!
The French tried to be the first to go on strike in space, but they didn't finish their space station fast enough because the engineers went on strike.
Putain de merde XD
Ca ma fais trop rire quand j'ai vu qui connaissait la mentalite francaise lmao
But I'm le tired!
The crew flying back to Earth must have felt like what I feel like when I am driving home to my mom when I get a bad grade.
Half as interesting? These videos are just as interesting.
Nah man the videos are half the length and half as good
Interesting? Definitely. True? Well, half as true.
*>writing a comment how this technically made them space pirates while listening to the end of the video*
*>sam explaining how this made them space pirates*
*>resignedly deleting the comment*
*>writing this comment instead*
>Using angle text on UA-cam
>Using angle text on a non-chan site
LOL, really?
>using bold on angle text
except.... they wheren't space pirates, this act would have fallen more under high seas salvage then piracy
Things I learned from the comments:
- Space pirates are called arrrrstronauts
- Astronauts have full control if they were ever to have a strike, since they can destroy important research data as well as expensive machinery
- The whole story of the astronauts going on strike is false, turns out they just took a break (that was allowed in their schedule) and missed a call from the ground.
No country can won the super bowl if you're the only one playing. *Insert the thinking man meme
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
R/woooooooosh
WHAT IS A SUPER BOWL IK IT'S A SPIRT BUT WHATT
I love the plug for *squarespace* that you did in the end😂😂
Ikr 😂
I love square buttplugs
proletarian revolution in space when?
Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism
Who else tries to press pause whenever they see the animator put something in the corner?
"First ever space pirates"
Mark Wattney is gonna be PISSED when someone tells him
Well he never said he was the first. Only that he'd be one.
that american health care system joke was great :D and so true
I loved this! The interesting history coupled with the humor has definitely made me a subscriber! Keep up the great work!!
*That was a pretty great transition into the ad ;).*
I thought Mark Watney was the first space pirate.
Really good work!!! Thank you for creating these videos
Dude, your videos are getting better and better! Always a blast to watch!
I don’t mind buffer
I don’t mind ads
But when the ads buffer
I overuse this joke
It's been a while since I saw this joke actually
I don't get it
@@mohammadzahra2238 when the video buffers you can go back a bit but if the ads buffer you have to wait
@Mohammad Zahra
The last line of the joke is "I suffer"
Speaking about ads, who else gets UA-cam Original ads all the time?
been waiting for an upload lol
I love these videos! I always get too exited when they are released.
Amazing editing! Even the squarespace ad was customized (and so marvelously written)
This is pure infotainment gold!
00:59 What is square meter in space? Every surface could be the ceiling, wall, or floor..
I guess you could say that their strike thoughts were... Out of this world.
Get out. Now.
The writing... the cringe...
I love it. Please dont stop
I think you guys are one the only science-y channels that is also genuinely funny. Good job!
*THEY’RE NOT FRENCH?!?!?!?*
this is NOT Major Tom to Ground Control
The Apollo 7 crew also had a bit of a "strike" when feeling overloaded with work. None of them ever flew again either.
Its nice seeing you loosen up in these video Wendover :)
0:14 *These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!*
The Proletarian revolution in Space
Very cool! Thanks for the video!
So much shade thrown in this video! I love it! 😂
Elon is right about the mason jars
For some reason this title made me immediately think of bowling in space... Sounds like it could be super fun, like imagine not needing a lane but being able to send the ball in any direction towards what I guess could be a floating pyramid of pins.... Lol get on it Elon, we're gonna need this for the Mars colony😂
The only channel where I look forward to the advert at the end just to see how you creatively transition into it from whatever you were talking about!
Another smooth quality content-to-ad transition by Half as Interesting.
Phone books? You mean there’s a book with phones in it?
Why am I lugging around this smartphone?
FRENCH HERE AND absolutely not triggered in fact
no pressure during the space walks. please never stop making videos.
I'm only at 0:48 and I'm already quenched by your fresh style, yet somehow still thirsty for more. Good pace and subtle humor

When ever Elon stops tweeting...
When astronauts go on strike and say they need their own space...WELL GREAT NEWS THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE UP THERE.. And the government can't do anything about it..because space 😂😂😂
Your sponsorship spots are super entertaining and of course your videos are awesome.
The pun level in this video is out of this world
They really didn't go on strike. This was a misunderstanding.
The russian where first on the moon (unmanned)
The_Mad_Bear 1096
No they weren’t
SpicyBeef Burrito yeah actually, the US landed the first human on the moon, but the Soviets had already sent an unmanned drone to it
Then it wasnt really the russians that were first, it was a machine. Not that impressive. The united states has sent machines to other planets to (many of which were the first) but nobody cares bc its not that symbolic really.
iesu hernandez
It's still impressive from both nations. first or not.
No they were not
First time watching this and I can tell this channel is great
At 0:44 you show a picture of the deployed Skylab, although the one that was sent up actually had 2 solar arrays. The second was lost during launch when the micrometeoroid shield tore away. So, to be horrendously pedantic, the picture of the Skylab they "launched" is a little inaccurate but it is how it was deployed for the vast majority of its life.
Anyway, love the videos! Look forward to them every week.
So much sass
The United States weren't the first ones to them moon. They sent the first *humans* to the moon.
Nice seeing you here
As always, the ad transition is legendary
Lol space pirates!! Man that was one slick and funny transition! Best add ever lol
Wouldn't they be mutineers and not pirates?
Same thing. Both are crimes committed at sea.
Andy Anderson Mutiny is going against command/higher rank piracy is actual theft
How can fighting for your, human basic rights be illegal?
@@hectorvega621 did anyone say it was?
Minor League Gaming Andy call it a crime to mutiny, even if command is bad.

What does a place in Spain have to do with this video
They say if youre early, Half as Interesting will reply
NoThrottle 2 Really? Have to try this next time!
They say if you write the most unoriginal comment in the history of unoriginal comments or maybe ever, you are very unfunny.
They were lying...
They also said
“If you really cared that much to comment on this and bash me for using a very unoriginal quote, you need more doses of memes”
A meme isn't funny anymore when you explain it to the clueless.
Im so proud of these comrades. Strikes work.
3:24 ' the most fascinating part is they weren't even french' 😂🤣. *I FLIPPING LOST IT WHEN HE SAID THAT*

Because they found out earth is flat

that "strike" wasn't intentional, the communications just broke. one of the participants even called these claims fake after being asked if they were true, and responded with "I believe the term you're looking for is 'fake news'"
No country has won more super bowls ? That’s because only America care about it no one els does also strike is perfectly legal act I hope they where not punished
Liam Cornell lol yes I was being sarcastic but legit if conditions ain’t good then i wouldn’t give a fuck about what they said it’s bye bye birdie I’m not working. Lol 😂 also serious question what happens if you quit your job in Space? Lol do you float their till someone gets you or what lol
2:42 Apparently Mr Bean was a stowaway on the Skylab 3 mission. Also what's with the rainbow on the Skylab 4 patch? Were they testing the effects of gays in space?
