fun thing : spitzer has a space telescope named after him .Next video ?
Hi szymon plz make one on the leviathan telescope birr Castle. Lov ur channel xx(xx is weird sorry)
huh Simon have u colored ur beard?
I feel that people who fail to appreciate this telescope have either a missing chromosome or are missing out bigtime. Worse than missing out on the Beatlea and Rolling Stones and the Matrix series aaaand Termimator 1 aaaand 2 and Hamburgers and Chocolate combined.
Blinkist looks interesting! I may just give it a try.
I'm surprised that space stuff doesn't do well. I like space stuff a lot.
Walker Savage I am too. I love space stuff!
Yeah, the Saturn V vid was awesome.
I once saw a video where two women discussed their experiences having a threesome.
17 million views. Simon just needs to sell out.
I really don't doubt that one bit, @@cocoabutt1711!
I watch all that I can about space related stuff. During launches and tests I often have four devices watching different channels or views.
Do my dad's new front porch. He's way over budget and it's not even finished yet..
Write the script, include some photographs, and submit it. Who knows it might not end up on mega projects but it could end up on his side projects channel.
😅😅😅😅😅
Ahh...I understand. Just like Lockheed Martin with the F-35 project....
Well done. I’m an amateur astronomer who’s long followed the Hubble closely & knew most of the history. That was as good of a concise description of the history of the development as I’ve seen. Most of the NASA related videos focus more on promoting the Hubble than explaining the history.
Interestingly enough I have a special keychain that was issued by Perkin Elmer, the maker of the mirror & OTA that had so many early issues, in the early 80’s before the launch. I still have all the original packaging. The pamphlet that is inside goes on at length about the upcoming 1984 launch, which of course did not happen BECAUSE of Perkin Elmer. That keychain is probably worth something now, but I’ve never checked. It’s one of those things I enjoy having
Keep the space content coming please! Simon’s enthusiasm for the subject really shows and makes the videos really excellent!
Thanks Simon for this Megaproject, I was looking forward to this one for a very long time. Also make a Megaproject about Voyager Spacecrafts, it's so mind boggling that it still functions at the outer edges of the solar system and also contacts us even though it was made in the 1970s.
I watch everything Simon and company put out. I love learning and the way Simon presents the information makes it fun and I watch many of these with my children.
It is our privilege to have these images.
I worked in the clean room where Hubble's frame was built (Sunnyvale, CA, Moffett field). The building is still there and , AFAIK, is still a clean room. Is it large? No, it's massive. You can easily fit a football pitch (or field) in it and still have room for grandstands. After Hubble, it was repurposed as an all-in-one satellite manufacturing facility, with separate testing rooms for radio ranging, vibration, and a vacuum chamber. Good times.
Loved this video, well done. I love the way it portrays humanity's drive toward achieving a particular goal, whatever that may be, and accepting failure is never an option 👍👍
Megaproject suggestion: Human Genome Project
Oooh that's an interesting one. I second that !
The precision of those mirrors are amazing- but that is why we have such amazing photos
I don't know if this will get to you or not. Hopefully it does. You are a terrific storyteller. The "projects" in Megaprojects can represent more than just construction. If done well you could get into well planned assinations and very high level crime. You're presentation is just as important as what you're talking about. You're one of the VERY FEW shows that I put up with commercials for, because you make everything you're talking about interesting. Don't be afraid to go off script every now and then and talk about intellectual other things.
Nothing wrong with Star Trek simon lol
Plenty wrong with Star Trek. It is still entertaining though. Shine on you glorious space nerd. Shine on.
I was once told that Star trek is star wars for virgins and I think about that alot.
Well older Trek...
@@MySkybreaker Sounds like virgin talk to me..
I think the reboot of Battlestar Galactica is the best programme ever made, which annoys me because I love Star trek so much.
Your space-content is awesome and I wish there was more. I have already seen all the videos about the planets,Jupiter's moons, the Kuiper Belt and Andromeda. Wish there was more Simon-content about space
Not gonna lie, if it looked like hubble was gonna come down without a successor of at least equal capabilities, i would donate every last dollar i have to try and keep it up there. The things its taught us are only overshadowed by the things its shown us. The images are stunning and the data its collected will still be useful 10 years from now.
They will be going over the data and learning new things decades after it takes it image.
You should do a biographics on the men you named at the start. Oberth was the man who worked out the Oberth effect, Goddard invented liquid fuel rocket engines and multi stage rockets, and Tsiolkovsky worked out the mathematics of getting to space known as the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation. These three men along with the French man Esnault-Pelterie are responsible for starting humanity on the road to space!
I have a tattoo of the most famous photo taken by Hubble, The Pillars of Creation. it has always captivated me since it’s launch and I love imagery and data that brings to our understanding of space 🤩
That’s my favorite subject ever since it was put into space. Thank you
Oh man, Star Track, I love that show! That's the one where Obi Ben and Luke Skyrunner team up against Darth Vater, right?
I think a follow up with the 5 repair/upgrade missions, the public campaign to maintain Hubble, and how the mirror was flawed. And why the flaw wasn’t detected even though there is a second un-flawed mirror and the delay in launch should’ve been used for testing.
11:53 Fun fact when Hubbell's lenses was misplaced they used algorithms to correct the blurry image. I wrote my master's thesis is those class of algorithms.
I remember when they were fitting the specs on hubble, some late-night radio4 comedy-sketch show remarked that they were "Upgrading it from taking a 10p to a 50p piece"
More space videos. I'll always watch them.
It really is extraordinary what Hubble has provided us with!
Lets see a video about the B-58 hustler! Super interesting aircraft that was incredible for its time
Love the space videos Simon!! However how about a video about the Alaska Pipeline!!
I can *not* believe Hubble has been out in space for THIRTY YEARS!! It really doesn't seem that long ago when it was launched. I remember astronaut Storey Musgrave being sent up to repair it -- hard to believe that was 27 years ago. Wow!
Form one that watched the original Cosmos on tv, Thank you.
Forgive my ignorance, but I couldn't help mention a comment of the reporter, who was of course repeating what the scientists have reported. The edge of known universe is said to be 13.7 billion light years away. Yet they say they have found a galaxy 32 billion light years away, or did I hear that wrong? (?) I have always felt the universe is infinite. There is no end. It has been said by some of the greatest minds that space is a curve, logically meaning that if we look far enough, we would eventually find ourselves. I am no scientist, merely a casual observer and student fascinated by the bounds of space.
Thumbs up to Megaprojects and their videos. I enjoy them thoroughly!
The universe has expanded in the time since the photons we see now were emitted from that galaxy. The universe continues to expand, apparently at an increasing rate. Something called "dark energy" has been proposed as an explanation.
@@sotros1 Expanding into where, into what? I have asked this question many times, and most astronomers won't or can't answer. "They" keep trying to make statements as if the expanding universe theory is fact, when in reality it is nothing more than an educated guess.
Clean rooms are really expensive, used to be a cGMP production chemist working in clean rooms. Can't remember just how expensive having a small lab set aside for days on end was let alone the cost of labour. I do remember it was 10's of thousands of pounds a day of which I saw very little of. Needing somewhere to store a satellite in a totally clean environment is going to be a really expensive
I shall now forever imagine the Hubble telescope as an aged monocle-wearing gentleman, somewhat alike to the, sadly, late Sir Patrick Moore, albeit with large solar arrays in stead of ears...
SAINT Patrick Moore
That only applied until March 2002.
As nuch as I love the hubble, I think you should cover the ESO telescopes here in Chile. They resolve some problems that the Hubble solved initially about atmosphere interference and they had made discoveries as great as Huble's but with much (unfairly) less marketing. Greetings from Chile.
thank you for this video, made our day over here. any chance doing megaproject on iss? or on upcoming replacement to hubble?
I'm such a Star Trek nerd...
May the force be with you!
Absolutely great my good man...
it was even worse with the glass, the manufacturers workers knew the glass was ground wrong according to their tried and true measuring tools. but management ignored them as a new untried tool was incorrectly showing the wrong measurements.
Pressed thumbs up at 4seconds, I mean, its Simon with Hubble as the subject. Has there ever been anything as perfect on UA-cam before?
I am legend.
I have literally been asking since u birthed this channel! Do the James Web Space Telescope!!
Speaking of the USS Gerald R. Ford, when are you going to do a video about the Ford Class Aircraft Carrier? You teased about it back in your video on the Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier but we are still waiting.
I enjoy the implication that "Hubble Space Telescope" is its name, as if it's in the phone book as "Telescope, H. S." Call me Hubble. Mr. Telescope was my father.
Thank you for the video 👍
Suggestion for megaproject, Kailasha temple or better known as Ellora Cave #16. Its part of Ajanta Ellora caves in Maharashtra, India.
Discovered your Channel a month ago and so badly addicted to it. The content is top-notch. A bow to the entire team responsible for the research of the subjects.
Yeah, I remember this mega project was a cluster. You should do a channel on failed megaprojects lol as this was almost one of those.
miketag Yeah, it was a failure. Until it wasn’t. Then it was a miracle.
I think he does some that don't work out here (as long as they're a mega failure). Otherwise sounds like a Side Projects thing?
Thank you for doing Hubble! Now we have to think of another one to constantly hound you about. 😉😁
I love all the photos are free to use.
Thank you for sharing. I got the chance to view a rocket launch in 2018. Amazing experience. I shared a pretty cool montage of the journey to my channel.
Funny fact they almost didn't get the door closed on it after the fix. They had to use a ratchet strap, because if how metal reacts with temperatures the doors had expanded and contracted so much they didn't line up. They had to ratchet it enough to close but not so much they broke it.
4:10
Simon:"this was a point in time when we seemed more focused on destroying our planet through nuclear war than investigating the far reaches of space"
War cabinet:lets look out there if we can find an enemy civilization we can nuke without retaliations.
2:30 Robert Goddard is literally one of my favorite people. It would be a dream come true for a Biographics on him
I find it helpful to think of those insane distances in warp flight times.
For example, 32 billion lightyears in warp 9.975 (Voyagers max speed (in TNG scale)) would take 6 242 611 YEARS. 6 million fricking years! :D
first
Gutted for you. F in chat for this guy.
@@adw9186 and yet u felt the need to comment, the only thing that needs gutting is our tendency and desire to be right and to feel superior, thats fucked
Megaproject Suggestion. Longest deep bore ice core in Antarctica. Took years, loads of drama with it and they found some cool stuff like a fresh water lake under the ice containing previously unknown lifeforms. Would go Well with the other hole projects that are popular
Speaking of deep holes, how about the Kidd Mine as well?
Graphene, honeycomb lattice one atom thick (30 years ago)... you discuss those items so matter of factly. Now you have to do a mefa project episode on that.
Any chance you could do a video on the Belgorod (Russian Sub) and the Poseidon nuclear torpedo, feel like this might get alot of views at the moment :)
how about seeing what you can learn about the cleanup at those melted reactors in Japan
another great vid as always
oh hell yeah i knew it was coming THANKS SIMON also once the next gen scope gets launched let's try to get a video on james webb space telescope
As impractical as it would be, it'd be amazing if they could get it back down to earth safely. That's one piece of space history that's worth saving!
Great video. Love the space ones. Soooo much time and money is thrown at space. Would be a horrible thing not to cover.
you should do the largest building by volume the Everett Boeing factory
Anything with space is bad ass! 🤘🤘 love the show
Oh, this is where Star Trek ship, the Oberth class, gets its name. That's cool.
I truly loved this
Small nit, all Hubble images are computer generated from data collected through the telescope. Most of the images are not what you see with your eyes, but rather have extended ‘false color’ spectroscopy added to the visible light spectrum.
Mega projects can you make a video about the shuttle carrier!
The astronauts who went to work on the Hubble probably can call themselves the AAA of Space
Food for thought, perhaps Time is the final frontier.
AYYY Simon you said Maryland like a real Marylander!
me and all of my friends really hope that one day you'll do a hubble space telescope video.
whereas billions have been spent on war equripement i will probably never see, i have seen thousands of hubble images. and hubble isn't overtly killing anyone either. you should do a video on why scientists from all nations appear to be able to cooperate and get things done when politicians seem more intent on killing the people they are supposed to represent.
Curiosity Stream has a good documentary on the history of telescopes! I've seen so many amazing Hubble photographs.
I'd be surprised if the James Webb telescope is launched in 2021. I hope it does though, because the Hubble telescope has brought us some amazing images and a greater understanding of space.
I know you say the space videos don't do well, but I bet if you made a space missions channel, it might do better than random space videos on other channels. I know I'd tune in.
An entire video on the Hubble Space Telescope without a single mention of the "deep field" and the "ultra deep field" images (though they did cop up as visuals in the video). I still remember the day when I first saw the deep field image. It was the closest I'd ever come to having a religious moment in my life.
That's a shame there's not even a mention about how mirror was polished wrong in the first place. Because NASA (and bunch of other people) discovered mirror was made to wrong measurements, but they assumed it's the measuring device is faulty, not perfect mirror just finally finished.
Simon, I tried blinkest and did not like it. Cancelled it after the trial period. I thought their selection was too limited. I like the concept of audible cliff notes but damn their selection, well... Sucked.
With that being said, THANK YOU for doing the Hubble. It's such an important project in human history. Can't wait to see what the James Webb is going you reveal (if NASA ever launches it).
Spy satellites were orbiting telescopes long before Hubble, just pointed the other way. They might make a good episode. They helped prevent WWIII. Also, spy satellites looking at gamma rays in the 1960s discovered Gamma Ray Bursters - some of the most energetic explosions in the universe!
there is also some evidence to suggest that hubble was cobbled together from an extra obsolete spy satellite that was never put into orbit
I installed blinklist because of you
Yes! At last, Hubble!
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Simon's absolutely glorious beard?
Ahh, love it!!
Tbf Skylab has 2 main stories attached to it and he dealt with the most interesting in half a sentence.
one is the crash. The other the Skylab repair effort is arguably the busiest, most improvised and most efficient, Nasa+Contractors have ever worked. Including Apollo 13. 10 days from the damaging launch to the crew flying with newly developed solutions up to save the mssion.
Half a sentence.... In other words: It just wasn't very good....
(Homesteading Space - The Skylab Story. by erm some of the skylab crew).
Awesome video!
Will there be an episode on Space X capsule
Maybe something on the SPACE SHUTTLE
That time when the Hubble telescope got reading glasses
great!
Love the channel BUT Hubble's Law is named after Edwin Hubble and his work in the 1920s NOT the Hubble Space Telescope (which, obviously, is also named after Edwin Hubble)
should be all the Hubble telescopes
The Rideau Canal/River! Vote Canada!
Hubble is fucking awesome af.
Simon! Do the Sagrada Familia!
No one:
Simon: Telecope
Perkin Elmer really f'ed this up... They calibrated the mirror with a new tool (which was completely inaccurate because of a stupid mistake). They checked with their standard calibration equipment, which showed that the mirror was miscalibrated, but they dismissed that result and went on, only trusting that new tool. Aaaaaaaaand the mirror was perfect, but also perfectly slightly miscalibrated. So NASA needed to correct the miscalibration with a supplementary lens, which luckily worked perfectly :)
18:00 i love that image right there. when i look at that, i think " Wow, Yahweh made that :-) "
Video idea: LeTourneau land trains
R.I.P Hubble ❤
Tech support says to unplug, drink a cup of coffee, and reboot. If that don't the work. Then call SpaceX.
Confederation Bridge and SNOLAB please
ENTERPRISE is in orbit laughing at you saying "of course we know where that star is. It's only LOGICAL"... 😆
Psalm 19 verse 1: " The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. " NKJV
