Astronauts: Toughest Job In The Universe
Space is the ultimate destination. But life there requires extraordinary ability. Millions dream of becoming astronauts. Few make it a reality. So, what happens when you take 12 people at the pinnacle of their professions, and put them through the gruelling process of astronaut selection? As the candidates push themselves to the limit, they’re assessed by a doctor, a psychologist, and an experienced astronaut. If they don’t make the grade, they’re asked to leave. Who will have what it takes to attempt the toughest job in the universe?

By the way the Canadian government just cut spending on their space agency so might limited space missions for our astronauts
Hopefully they are ready for bubbles in SpaceTM 🤣
wow one person dive back down and get the block, another person helps them to stand on shoulders and jump, you're above the water now its not that hard.
. please take me there 😢
one person should have worn the four weight Belts
I thought solving the Soma Cube is in math class in every primary school.
Ground control to chris!
@cbs @survivor future challenge??
At the end of the day what has the $100 billion dollar space station achieved really ?
Alex Horne wasn't even in this clip =
I love me some BBC
Last
the funny thing is any team of kids around the age of 6 to 10 would have done it in 2minutes becasue that cube is a kids toy.
All nasa space missions are really in a pool of water. All of them.
I want my money back from nasa.
@@napoleonsmith7793 You should be grateful they don't cut your food stamps.
What a weird exercise… These people think you need degrees to go to space. I mean, this is so silly. The actual job of an astronaut is not rocket science. The job of everyone surrounding them IS actual rocket science. It’s almost they take all the credit for being strapped to a rocket and shot up to space. A little too narcissistic imo.
This is such a dumb comment. Some astronauts are pilots, biologist, geologist, rocket scientist. Etc. They aren't purely astronauts
@@Hallucinato444 the job of an astronaut, dummy
An astronaut might not need rocket science level knowledge but they do a lot more than we ever see on our screens.
It is team work. Read the Apollo 13 radio protocol and you'll realize that astronauts need a specific quality - and it is not rocket science. Everyone on ground is to a certain degree redundant, because there are eight billion other people to choose from. But all the effort hinges on a bunch of well trained people in space to execute their plans. Have them lose orientation in the wrong moment and valuable experiment time could be destroyed, a tool which has to be brought up could be lost in space, or in case of an accident the wrong action could be taken with fatal consequences not only for the astronaut but also the people around them. But not only you want people with the confidence to act intuitively in the right way, you also want them to be team players. And that is where the accusation of narcissism becomes rather stupid. Just listen to anybody talking about the likes of Chris Hadfield and you'll hear how he is modest, polite, shows interest in everything, how he is able to tell great stories while entirely becoming social glue if no great stories are needed.
So, if you are stranded with a group of people, hope there is an astronaut among them. That is when they shine.
I agree. Also to the dumb replies : in mission Apollo 13 under the guidance of the control tower, the astronauts constructed with whatever materials were found in the spacecraft (bags, maps, duct tape) a rough adapter of the machine from the service craft, put it into operation and fired the rockets to return to Earth. So the scientists and engineers down in NASA gave and give the solution.
When they will make long missions beyond Moon and in far future beyond Mars this test will be meaningful.
Stop getting book smart nerds for the job. I know masons that grew up at the lake with me that could visualize and solve in 1 dive. So hard to move underwater duh all you’ve ever moved is pages in a book lol
I think it's not about solving this particular problem but more about learning how people work together to solve unexpected problems where they have to use their weaknesses (staying underwater for long time, lack of experience commicating underwater, etc.).
Το Sivah.

@@esisolina1, true but I also think this would be helpful for near earth missions as well. For instance, when comms are down or on mission in the far side of the moon.
