Another fun and interesting video! My folks lived next-door to Gordon Cooper back in the 70's /80's. In 1963 he piloted "Faith 7" (solo). He had to manually control the spacecraft on reentry after all of the automatic controls failed! A very humble and down to earth gentleman was he......
As a side note, Gordon Cooper was one of several astronauts that have come forward in later days discussing their UFO sightings which I found to be very interesting. There are several documentaries with them speaking about it. Not to get into UFO talk but it is interesting.
Thank you Jeff for posting this and happy to hear and see that you got to meet John Glenn I know what a thrill that is. I was learning to fly small planes at Albert Whitted Airport and I started at 14, Around that time I was always hanging out at that airport and one day a twin engine plane landed an about 5 men got out and came into the FBO and one of those men was Werner Von Braun and he was about 5 feet away from me at that FBO. Many years later in 1976 Frank Borman pinned on my gold wings when I was a new flight attendant and I flew from 1976 to 1989 based in SJU & MIA. I had Frank on several flights and sometimes he would go into the cockpit and somehow get the captain to vacate his seat so he could get some time at the controls. When I went to the cockpit he would have the biggest grin of happiness , this happened on a 727-200 and an L-1011. Before that I was a skycap at FLL while waiting for the F/A training school to re-open and 1 day, I was loading bags on a cart and Frank was passing thru and just started helping me get more bags on the cart. Frank Borman was an awesome guy once you got to know him.
Wow. Living next door to Vandenberg Space Force Base, I've experienced all manner of rocket launches, a variety of military aircraft, and it never gets old. One launch last night was overcast, but the rumble was very satisfactory! I loved that you captured so much of the magic of space exploration, and I appreciated the sentiments, and the music this morning! My daughter knows how much I love the drama and awe, so when she and my son-in-law visited the Kennedy museum, she sent me a bunch of materials. Made me envious!
Thank you Jeff,for a very great video; and really enjoyed the tour of that beautiful museum. I hope one day I'll be able to go visit that and see all those interesting Rockets they have there. If you are ever in Kansas, Jeff you need to go to Hutchinson Kansas because they have the Apollo 13 rocket . It is a very interesting rocket and it can be seen at the Hutchinson Kansas Museum. They also have one large replica of a shuttle spaceship in the building there, so you would enjoy that. Again, thank you so much for sharing .
Great video Jeff! We love that place! I believe the Challenger accident was January 1986, I say this because my oldest son was only 6 months old at the time. Love your videos! Keep up the great work! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans! ♥️
What a delightful video! I had no idea there was a space center in Alabama. You even found a way to include a grave in the adventure. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 🚀🌟
Hey Jeff, again like everyone else great job on this episode. I'd like you to visit the albuquerque nuclear museum. It doesn't show you have been there. And from that, do a episode from trinity site. I would love to see cover them. Now there's some History. I enjoy watching and learning from you. Keep up the good work. Signed Another fan.
Thank you Jeff and Sarah another interesting story My father would have been very jealous if he was still alive he loved The space Subjects all the time Going on tapes that he would set up to watch them Early in the morning or whenever it was on Thank you again
Willie McCool is from Lubbock, TX just down the highway from my hometown of Amarillo, TX where Rick Husband was from. How cool it was for these two neighbors to be together on a shuttle and how sad we lost them both.
Thanks for the laugh. To be honest I weigh above 180 so I was surprised it said under 180. Since we’re at it, how come the doctor scales are always heavier? LOL
I really have never been that excited about the space program, but do appreciate the fact that the US has accomplished so much. The most important thing for me personally is the fact that Von Braun actually came to a small, rural elementary school in Georgia and spoke to my 5th grade class about the space program!!!!! I was 11 years old!!!! Can you believe it? I was awe-struck and can still see him standing there showing us pictures and models. He was also very handsome! Thanks, ya'll!
Twice Hero of the Soviet Union cosmonaut Georgy Grechko came to our school, located in a small town in the Chelyabinsk region. He also told me a lot of interesting things. I don't know how I would feel about meeting an SS Sturmbannfuhrer.
I was in the USAF stationed at Eglin AFB ,FL. My wife and children visited the Huntsville's U.S. Space & Rocket Center in the early "80's. It has really changed after viewing your video! Thanks for the upload. 👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jeff! I love your show so much! My husband’s family on his father’s side is from Jasper. After watching all your episodes from there, I want to go for a road trip and visit! Thank you for your channel and efforts bringing us such interesting history of so many cool and historic places! -Nina
Great video Jeff! I have always been interested in space since I was a kid. Loved watching the Apollo missions launch on TV and the Space Shuttle launches as well. Sure do miss the Space Shuttle.
How did you miss this? LOL. Hopefully you can hit the notification bell and you will see when we post new videos. But we pretty much stick to a new post every Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. Pacific time.
I was just there a few weeks ago! It was so much information to take it during our visit. It's nice to watch your video and extra video footage that I didn't see there.
GR8 HH vid Jeff!! What a gr8 weekly "fix"!!! My oldest daughter got t9o meet and talk at length with Buzz Aldrin a couple years ago...what a gr8 and fun man! ~Chris
Nice, Chris! What an honor for her! He is still living too! I got a nice photo of him when he was in the Rose Parade (I think that was 1987). That was my first ever attendance at that parade and I also got to see Gregory Peck and Muhammad Ali!
That is a fabulous museum with items that have been deployed into space. I drove from Atlanta the year I went to Germany as a follow up to Verner Von Brown V2 rocket program.
It is amazing to see how far humans have come from horse/buggy days to the moon. The engines on those rockets are mind boggling. Watching you climb out of the space capsule, makes me wonder how tall these astronauts were. They had to be small men.
Great video. I've been to the Kennedy Space Center twice. Once as a kid in the late 80s and then took my son two summers ago in May of 2023. It changed alot. He loved it. We did the astronaut talk which was really cool. This one like it would be fun to see as well.
This was so very cool, and interesting. I know that I learned some, new info, and refreshed some, as well. I would love to visit there. There has been renewed coverage of our space program, and renewed interest by many, it seems. Thank you so much for this video, Jeff. 🏡🙏🏻 🚀 👏🏻❤️🤍💙
I have only been to Huntsville one time - and unfortunately didn't have time to visit the rocket center. I've been to Kennedy Space Center a few times, but that one has some great aspects to it! While it's amazing to see the actual items from space and spacecraft....I love seeing the space-related memorabilia (including the Star Trek blueprints - which I have in my collection - and the GI Joe capsule/astronaut (which I did have as a kid). Great job!
Another awesome video Jeff . like I said last week , all your work makes me think back to the day , I remember when we landed on the moon , I watched it in 1969 I think on my mom and dad's. black and white T.V. ( remember those ).. There will probably be young people saying " what's a black and white T.V. ????? THANK you Frank from montana........
My mom once said I was going to be a captain in the space cadet program. I wonder what she meant? Great informative video Jeff, thanks for taking us along!!
I have been wanting to visit the Space and Rocket Center. I visited Kennedy Space Center back in 2022. My brother and I sat next to Dr. Owen Garriott at a convention back in 2009 where his son Richard was speaking.
husband speaking watching from Cebu, PH. We arrived on the 21st. I remember listening to the actual Moon landing, recording space flights on a small tape recorder.
My husband, my daughter and I went to the Kennedy Space Center back in the 80’s. It was very educational and impressive! I watched the moon landing on a little 9” black and white TV in my bedroom. It was snowy and faint but so exciting!
Great video of a place I need to get to. I spent 38 years working on the Minuteman III weapon system. I was privileged to witness many test launches at Vandenberg Air Force Base. This is my area of interest for sure. Have a great Thanksgiving my friend!
I had a viewmaster too when I was a kid. With different eh? disques; about Snoopy, Aladin and the Aristocats 😄🐱 Really enjoyed it! But I do feel sorry for the little monkeys 🙈 After this I watched your video from 2018! 👍🏻
Happy Thanksgiving History Hunters🦃!! This was a cool video...In 6th grade a NASA rep. (Moffet Field) came to my school for an assembly about space and I was called on stage to put on a astronaut training space suit to show what it looked like.....Man it was heavy..
I was there this summer. I thought the Docents were amazing and so eager to chat about anything space. I ask one Docent did he know Von Braun, he said my office was next to his. The IMAX theater was pretty cool too. Hope you visited the theater.
I got to tour the Kennedy Space Center back in 2007 so this was very interesting! When the Space Shuttle program was finished and they retired the shuttles to the states where they were built. I heard about the path that the 747 would piggy back the shuttle through SoCal. I worked in Westminster down the street from the Boeing plant in Huntington Beach and it was going to fly over that. So I alerted everyone in my office of the path and when we heard it had just passed over Disneyland we all went outside and a few minutes later it went over my office. One of my supervisors who didn’t seem interested at first said that was one of the coolest things she ever saw.
I used to go to the NASA visitor center in Merritt Island, Fl often as a kid. It used to be free for general admission however the bus tours out to the Cape and launch pads was not.
Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a rocket scientist!😉 Very fascinating😎, and I was wondering about the space monkey(s) too, nice that they're honored for their work🚀👍🏻✌🏼🤘🏻. Have a splendid Thanksgiving Day, Jeff and Sarah! 👨🏻🚀👩🏼🚀 edit: I remember, maybe around the late 80's, one of the space shuttles was returning to earth and landing at Vandenberg AFB in SoCal. It descended straight south over Calif and a massive sonic boom shook my studio apartment. I actually thought someone drove into it and ran outside to look around expecting to see ?!, and everything was dead still, not a soul around! Found out later what it was🙂
Coincidentally, I was just reading yesterday about a space themed amusement park they tried to build in Huntsville in the '60s. They raised $2M out of the projected $5M needed, but never secured the rest of the money and abandoned the project.
Neat vid, I didn't even know about this museum. The capsules and rockets all look so primitive back then, even skylab looks primitive., must have been quite scary coming back to earth in those things. Check out the air and space museum near Dulles Airport around DC sometime, they also have a smaller building in downtown DC at the Smithsonian.
So interesting I like things like space and but I can say I would not ever want to do it very interesting to see all this so thank you so much I remember the space monkeys going up in 1957 I was born and that's when the one space monkey went up I don't think I remember that one but I remember the video seeing it after I was old enough and I saw that and it kind of made me sad that they were messing with animals like that. Thank you for another interesting video it was very enjoyed.
Another fun and interesting video! My folks lived next-door to Gordon Cooper back in the 70's /80's. In 1963 he piloted "Faith 7" (solo). He had to manually control the spacecraft on reentry after all of the automatic controls failed! A very humble and down to earth gentleman was he......

@@Eric-e6wI was going to write the same thing, 👽 he not just witnessed it he filmed it at Edwards
@@Eric-e6w Yes, and he spoke freely about his encounters!
@@user-bl6ne3hc6n Yes and he spoke freely about his encounters!
I've known a few space cadets in my time. None of them left the ground. Another fabulous video, Jeff.
Thank you Jeff for posting this and happy to hear and see that you got to meet John Glenn I know what a thrill that is. I was learning to fly small planes at Albert Whitted Airport and I started at 14, Around that time I was always hanging out at that airport and one day a twin engine plane landed an about 5 men got out and came into the FBO and one of those men was
Werner Von Braun and he was about 5 feet away from me at that FBO. Many years later in 1976 Frank Borman pinned on my gold wings when I was a new flight attendant and I flew from 1976 to 1989 based in SJU & MIA. I had Frank on several flights and sometimes he would go into the cockpit and somehow get the captain to vacate his seat so he could get some time at the controls.

Frank Borman was an awesome guy once you got to know him.
Great video Jeff. Very interesting to see close up pictures of those great machines. Thanks!
Wow. Living next door to Vandenberg Space Force Base, I've experienced all manner of rocket launches, a variety of military aircraft, and it never gets old.

Great show thanks for all you do to bring history to us armchair, travelers
Your history videos are always great. This one is especially interesting. 🏆
Great video Jeff! We love that place! I believe the Challenger accident was January 1986, I say this because my oldest son was only 6 months old at the time. Love your videos! Keep up the great work! Your biggest Tennessee (formerly California) fans! ♥️
Yepp, the challenger disaster did happen in January of 1986. Actually this video is my very 1st one by History Hunter but for sure not the last one !
another educational video watched!! I always come away knowing more than I did coming in. Thank You Jeff.
Jeff a awsome tour there in Huntsville AL. Thank you very much!💯👊👍💕
My kids went to Space Camp when we lived in Alabama. Such a great experience. Enjoyed the tour! Thank you.
So cool! Thanks!
What a delightful video! I had no idea there was a space center in Alabama. You even found a way to include a grave in the adventure. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 🚀🌟
This is going down as one of my top favorites. Thanks Jeff.
You are very welcome! It is a very cool place!
Always look forward to your videos!! Another great one!
Thank you for going to the space museum was great
That would be an interesting place to go to. Maybe some day. Thanks for the video.
Hello Jeff, Thanks for sharing this interesting story on the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and taking us along. Happy Sunday! Have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
Hey Jeff, again like everyone else great job on this episode. I'd like you to visit the albuquerque nuclear museum. It doesn't show you have been there. And from that, do a episode from trinity site. I would love to see cover them. Now there's some History. I enjoy watching and learning from you. Keep up the good work.

Another fan.
Amazing history, and great video as always! We’re living the next step of the ‘unending quest’ now with the recent Space X flights
Thank you Jeff and Sarah another interesting story My father would have been very jealous if he was still alive he loved The space Subjects all the time Going on tapes that he would set up to watch them Early in the morning or whenever it was on Thank you again
Willie McCool is from Lubbock, TX just down the highway from my hometown of Amarillo, TX where Rick Husband was from. How cool it was for these two neighbors to be together on a shuttle and how sad we lost them both.
It is indeed a tragedy, they were both heroes.
Thank you jeff! Awesome video! Whenever I step on my bathroom scale, instead of telling me my weight, it says, “One person at a time please!”
Thanks for the laugh. To be honest I weigh above 180 so I was surprised it said under 180. Since we’re at it, how come the doctor scales are always heavier? LOL
@ So the doctor can make more money selling you weight loss pills! 🤣
This is my favorite museum! I did space camp here as a kid! Great vid!
It's such a great museum! Thanks for watching, Brodie!
Awesome place.
Thanks for the tour Jeff!
Glad you enjoyed it! I was impressed with the size of that huge rocket!
@ I was impressed with the small size of the Mercury 1 you sat in!
I really have never been that excited about the space program, but do appreciate the fact that the US has accomplished so much.

Wow, we only had a congressman come to visit our school, not somebody of lasting fame like von Braun! That is very cool!

Amazing coverage of yet another unknown to me museum! Thanks for the tour and I'll see you next Sunday!
Thanks for enjoying visit, Jerry!
This is a very interesting episode thanks for sharing it with us
Loved the video as always Thankyou Jeff
Thanks 👍
Another fantastic video Jeff, well done. Always completes my Monday.
I missed this episode i guess.
Thanks H.H. for all you do!

@jbenziggy it must have been a Sunday I was busy or something..I usually catch all of them.
I was just there a few weeks ago! It was so much information to take it during our visit. It's nice to watch your video and extra video footage that I didn't see there.
It's a lot of information to take in, isn't it! I hope your visit was worthwhile!
Great episode! Thanks for taking us along...

The lunar rover may not have been the most expensive car ever made, but it truly had the highest shipping and delivery charge.
Yeah lol
Thank you, I enjoyed watching your video ❤️🇺🇸👍
This was very interesting Jeff and very well done keep up the good work!
Enjoyed again, Thanks for sharing
Thanks again, John!
It is amazing to see how far humans have come from horse/buggy days to the moon. The engines on those rockets are mind boggling.
Watching you climb out of the space capsule, makes me wonder how tall these astronauts were. They had to be small men.
Lost in Space was my favorite too!
Outstanding episode this week (as usual) thank you Jeff .
Thanks again!
What a great episode! I saw the Saturn V at Houston. It is quite an awesome sight to behold! 🚀
Great video. I've been to the Kennedy Space Center twice. Once as a kid in the late 80s and then took my son two summers ago in May of 2023. It changed alot. He loved it. We did the astronaut talk which was really cool.

🏡🙏🏻 🚀 👏🏻❤️🤍💙
Great video. My father and friends fathers worked different parts of the rocket. Many stories to tell. Great time to be a kid.
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
Another great episode thanks for sharing Jeff safe travels buddy 👍
That was an awesome vlog, Thanks for showing us the tour of the space museum!! 😁
Glad you appreciated this one! Apparently it’s generating less than normal interest. I guess we’re bored of space travel now. 🤣
@jbenziggy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great tour!
this is so cool! thank you Jeff!

Very interesting and fun video Jeff🤗🤗
Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed this episode

A very fun time! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families❤❤😊
Good morning, it’s a great day in Alabama…
Another great video of somewhere I will never get to visit in person.
Went there about a year ago awesome place love the Saturn 5 you can see it for miles around
Great video. Another place I have too visit.
My mom once said I was going to be a captain in the space cadet program. I wonder what she meant? Great informative video Jeff, thanks for taking us along!!
Bellissimo!
I have been wanting to visit the Space and Rocket Center. I visited Kennedy Space Center back in 2022. My brother and I sat next to Dr. Owen Garriott at a convention back in 2009 where his son Richard was speaking.
I went to space camp this summer while pathfinder was being lifted up, a unique experience in an already rare one.
husband speaking watching from Cebu, PH. We arrived on the 21st. I remember listening to the actual Moon landing, recording space flights on a small tape recorder.
That was very interesting!!
My husband, my daughter and I went to the Kennedy Space Center back in the 80’s. It was very educational and impressive! I watched the moon landing on a little 9” black and white TV in my bedroom. It was snowy and faint but so exciting!
Great vid Thanks!
Nice!.. WVB has visited NZ.. thanks from down under👍🇳🇿🚀
Thanks for watching!
Good to see my home town
Great video of a place I need to get to. I spent 38 years working on the Minuteman III weapon system. I was privileged to witness many test launches at Vandenberg Air Force Base. This is my area of interest for sure. Have a great Thanksgiving my friend!
Very interesting place!
Just baffles me how they figured out how to do all of this. Their brains are definitely wired differently than mine . Good video. Thanx!
You and me both! Thanks for reminding us of our limitations! LOL
Rockets and Patrick Duffy. Sounds like a good movie!!
I had a viewmaster too when I was a kid. With different eh? disques; about Snoopy, Aladin and the Aristocats 😄🐱 Really enjoyed it! But I do feel sorry for the little monkeys 🙈 After this I watched your video from 2018! 👍🏻
Happy Thanksgiving History Hunters🦃!! This was a cool video...In 6th grade a NASA rep. (Moffet Field) came to my school for an assembly about space and I was called on stage to put on a astronaut training space suit to show what it looked like.....Man it was heavy..
Thank you love these videos ❤
Thank you, Jim!
I was there this summer. I thought the Docents were amazing and so eager to chat about anything space. I ask one Docent did he know Von Braun, he said my office was next to his. The IMAX theater was pretty cool too. Hope you visited the theater.
Well done. TY
Saw Miss Baker alive many times as a child when she was cared for inside the Space and Rocket center.
That’s cool that you experienced that! At least I got to speak to John Glenn before he passed!
Great Show Jeff, have you ever been over to Seal Beach,Ca. and checked out the Boing hangers there?
I got to tour the Kennedy Space Center back in 2007 so this was very interesting! When the Space Shuttle program was finished and they retired the shuttles to the states where they were built. I heard about the path that the 747 would piggy back the shuttle through SoCal. I worked in Westminster down the street from the Boeing plant in Huntington Beach and it was going to fly over that.

Have a splendid Thanksgiving Day, Jeff and Sarah!
👨🏻🚀👩🏼🚀
edit: I remember, maybe around the late 80's, one of the space shuttles was returning to earth and landing at Vandenberg AFB in SoCal. It descended straight south over Calif and a massive sonic boom shook my studio apartment. I actually thought someone drove into it and ran outside to look around expecting to see ?!, and everything was dead still, not a soul around! Found out later what it was🙂
Coincidentally, I was just reading yesterday about a space themed amusement park they tried to build in Huntsville in the '60s. They raised $2M out of the projected $5M needed, but never secured the rest of the money and abandoned the project.
What an interesting video
Neat vid, I didn't even know about this museum. The capsules and rockets all look so primitive back then, even skylab looks primitive., must have been quite scary coming back to earth in those things. Check out the air and space museum near Dulles Airport around DC sometime, they also have a smaller building in downtown DC at the Smithsonian.
In 1983 I visited the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville.
So interesting I like things like space and but I can say I would not ever want to do it very interesting to see all this so thank you so much I remember the space monkeys going up in 1957 I was born and that's when the one space monkey went up I don't think I remember that one but I remember the video seeing it after I was old enough and I saw that and it kind of made me sad that they were messing with animals like that. Thank you for another interesting video it was very enjoyed.
I miss this😊
I had a GI Joe Mercury space capsule and GI Joe with space suit! My brother and I had to share it.
I was stationed right there Redstone arsenal I was there for about 6 months before I got transferred great little town.
Jeff, i love your content. History is very important no matter which generation. Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to visit this museum? 🚀
I think it was like $30 or $35 per adult.
I had the GI Joe full capsule kit. Wish they had the raft to keep it afloat.
