      It's not that different than what ballistic missile submarine crews experience. They go on patrol, cruise beneath the waves for months on end, and return to port. The main difference is it's 100-something people instead of three. Submariners develop a unique psychology; they can hate each others' guts, but they would die for each other, laughing and cracking (extremely dark) jokes all the while.

      Following Apollo 11, public interest waned, except for an uptick during Apollo 13. People didn't give two dry shits, we beat the Russians, who cares? The public became apathetic and support for deep space exploration dried up. Nixon was sold an idea for a reuseable space plane that could, possibly, make the U.S. some money launching other countries' payloads on top of paying for itself. Yeah, THAT worked out well. And the public still didn't care. And they still don't care. Some people think space exploration is a hollow pursuit, up there with FPS video games and beer pong. You can't have a space program without the support of the general public.

    12:00 when I’ve researched direct-to-Mars vs, Venus-assist-to-Mars, the sources I’ve come across have said that direct-to-Mars usually requires less delta-v, contrary to what is being reported in the video. The main advantage of doing a Venus flyby in one direction but not the other is that this allows a shorter total trip duration for going to Mars and returning to Earth. This shorter trip duration means fewer supplies are needed which allows the total mass of the spacecraft to be less. So, using a Venus flyby does allow a less capable spacecraft to do the trip, but it’s because of the shorter trip duration, not because of lower delta-v. It’s not a lower delta-v itinerary.

    RIP, Mike Collins, Apollo 11 Command Module pilot. A personal hero of mine as a young boy, as were many astronauts and one particular ballplayer, Roberto Clemente. I cannot help but think of a quote from General George Patton, another man I admired. "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should praise God that such men lived."
    As for the video, a wonderful and informative piece of history. Amy, you always come through with such delightful items.

    I did fly something like this, using Spaceflight Simulator., however with the rocket being a modified SLS Block 1B for the main body and and with the Orion CEV/ESM launched separately using a SLS Block 1A (using the SFS version of the Delta Cryogenic Second Stage, although in reality, it would have been modified to use the Aerojet AJ-10 engines in place of the RL-10 engines, allowing use of storable hypergolics propellents).

    Another Apollo artist has left us. RIP Michael Collins. I have a reproduction of Snook One Launch. A mashup of his love for Space and fishing. I recently got his book and I guess it’s time to read it. Regarding your vid, landing humans on another planet is going to be a real PIA. That’s why Mars and Venus human flights have not happened yet. Even Musk says people are likely to die going to Mars. Landing humans on Venus may never happen....too damn hot!
