Thank you Mr. Felton. My dad would come over to my house to watch your channel, he was always at the edge of his seat watching your documentaries. Rip dad. 1939-2021.
To be fair the plan was to safely retirve the monkeys, it just failed due to technical problems. There never was any intention to even try to safely retrieve Liaca. I think this is a big difference.
@llewellyn evans I see no reason to use the word _cruel_ in light of the care and expense they went to in outfitting the return modules with parachutes. Mechanical failure was obviously not expected, so the monkey deaths were accidents, certainly sad ones. The noise, vibrations, and acceleration at launch and descent could have been distressing, I grant you. Whether such distress, if any, were passing and mild, emotionally shattering, or in between, I cannot guess. As for weightlessness, I'm not sure the Alberts would have sensed it, strapped in as they were, or if it would have bothered them if they did. On the whole I would say, because of the deaths being accidental, that if you want to talk about human failings and cruelty you could easily find much worse very near at hand. (Not that I find what you say ludicrous.) One could say things were more clear-cut in the case of Laika, the Russian space dog. She was never meant to return alive, and died up there.
Ms Baker was probably the most successful Squirrel Monkey to ever live. She went to space, was awarded the Certificate of Merit, was the oldest Squirrel Monkey to ever live, and paved the pathway for humans and animals to go to space.

”The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.”
Big fan of mark's work here but that little "together we will rule the historical galaxy" bit was cute but.....I have heard the phrase that "history is written by the victor" and you cannot have truth if evidence exists to the contrary. So not only is history written by the victor but also eliminated to fit what ever political purpose of those in charge of education wish to portray. Thanks Mark
@@WhynottBelieve No. Propaganda is written by the victors. History is written by historians. Proper history is rigorously peer reviewed. Immediately upon completion, an historian's work is fallen upon by other historians who check, among other things, the author's sources and thesis. Unlike propaganda, history has no narrative. There are no "sides", no "heroes" no "villains". A person who developed a medical technique the saves thousands of lives, might have done so by destroying hundreds of lives through human experimentation. A propagandist would choose a narrative in which the person was either a monster, or a great man of science. An historian would write as much of the story as he could find, and add amendments as new information became available.
@Jesper Vuori George Sand said much the same about art in her introduction to La Mare au Diable. The relationship between art and audience is symbiotic. Art (and literature) has meaning only to the extent that it is appreciated.
This reminds me of how my dad used to refer to the "non-employee primates" when talking about the research monkeys at the teaching hospital where he worked.

A silent minute for these unsung unwilling heroes of animal kingdom. Humans were not first in to space.
We are the apex predators of our glorious animal kingdom.
No, just the first ones to come back alive.
'Nazi Rocket Monkeys' - loved their first album.
"Party like it´s 1933" was great hit.
@@Taistelukalkkuna ‘Hey Hey ver das monkees!’
@@nickshale6926 *Que massive crowds of screaming BDM girls*
Their cover of the Beatles single "Uncle Albert" wasn't bad, either.
@@vk2ig "Uncle Albert Speer" surely?
Ah man that's sad, you can see huge frown on the monkey strapped to that rig.
"Transmitting biomedical data all his way down." 😳
“Transmitting biomedical data all the way down” = 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩!

@Top Turf I wonder how well the parachutes would've worked if they'd been "volunteered" as the first Americans in space?
Good thing the first American astronaut in space was not named Albert.
Holy cow but soooo close starting off with Al!
Chute, no. ;-)
First time I seen a sponsor advert in your videos mark nice to see you making some money for the great work you are putting in
People at a party: "So what do you usually watch on youtube"
Me: "Nazi Rocket Monkeys"
I swear an oath of loyalty to the Emperor of the Historical Galaxy, Mark Felton! Long may he reign!
Plot twist:Mark Felton is Emperor Palpatine
Dew it!
@@Minboelf why of course, Palpatine always had a fascination with war.
"hey should we just use a sack of potatoes until we fix the parachute issue"
Werner von Braun: "that's a waste of perfectly good potatoes and monkeys! Now load Albert the 4th in there now! The budget says we have 4 monkeys and we are going to use all 4! "
6:14 All I hear is: “would’ve , could’ve, and didn’t.”
I remember that Von Braun said something along the lines of "I shot the V-2's at space but instead hit London".
And nothing of value was lost.
"I aim for the stars but sometimes I hit London"
@@vintagebricks3783 and when he hit London the government there blamed it on bad gas. But people today freak out because the president downplayed the Wu Flu. Oh the humanity!
@@1pcfred dafuq are you talking about... I posted a historical quote. Lol
@@vintagebricks3783 you mean a historical quite like this,
Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. -Lincoln
I worked at Bell Aerospace in 1983. There were still some guys left that worked with the Nazi scientists back in the day. The Americans that I talked to hated them and their arrogance. They Nazis got to walk around in their white lab coats and brought their secretaries with them. In those post war days, Bell had tough union workers. The Nazi scientists would expect the Americans to move aside when the Nazis would walk aside. He told me that they wouldn’t.
The Downing Street Cats, Hitler's Alligator, and now Nazi Rocket Monkeys! I love this channel.
The problem with the early rocket monkeys was obvious-- they were all named Albert. Coincidence? I think not!
Poor little guys
If "Nazi Rocket Monkeys" isn't a band name, I don't know what is.
i like this type of video seeing Markfeltons face as intro while drinkiing Cofee
I want to form an Amish death metal band named “Nazi Rocket Monkeys”!
Exceptional video, as ever. Thank you for all of the work you put in, and for the hours of entertainment and learning you give, im looking forward to reading one of your books
“Don't say that he's hypocritical,
Say rather that he's apolitical.
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department, " says Wernher von Braun.”
Tom Lehrer
what a fucking piece of shit
Your quotes are fucked
Here's the Tom Lehrer song that pbegley was quoting. Under 2 minutes long, but still a very funny classic. I wonder if the sweary 14 year olds will delete their abuse now? ua-cam.com/video/TjDEsGZLbio/v-deo.html
Tom lehrer is still alive and healthy, wonder if he watches UA-cam
My dreams of goose-stepping monkeys dashed.
Take the film footage of party rallies, and put monkey faces on them.
Uuuum first " None Monkey astronaut ,Alan Shepard"?? Hahaha😂 Dr Felton I love your use of words and how and you inject a bit of British humor as well ❤
0:01. Lookin' pretty dapper, boss!
Albert III did not look impressed while being strapped into his chair like he knew what happened to the first two Alberts.
Mark has not only created great informational videos he backs it up with great footage. I think we were closer to WW3 just after WW2 than we think.
If Mark Felton would have been excellent chess player as he is excellent historian, he would be unbeatable.
Miss Baker was a true legend. Brains and beauty and living such a long exciting life ,I'm surprised she never married.
I find it odd that the guy monkeys didn't make it, but the girl monkeys did.
"I aim for the stars but keep hitting London" ~Werner von Braun, probably.
I like the photo of Dr Felton at the beginning lol .
Don’t you think he looks a bit like the actor Kevin Eldon?
"Nazi rocket monkeys" couldn't click it quick enough
Are you still in the tyre business?
Yeah! I knew monkeys could be astronauts but totally shocked that some monkeys are mass murdering anti-Semites.
@@siphotheguy1870 LOL
Who could resist clicking on a title "Nazi Space Monkeys?" I'm just waiting on Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails to turn that into a song title lol.
That said, I LOVE monkeys, & the picture of Albert I broke my heart. 💔 He looked terrified & miserable. Monkeys are SO smart. But I can't imagine the fear & terror they went through...between being strapped in to the point they couldn't move...to the EXTREME speed & noise of the rocket. They didn't know what was happening or understand it. 😢 That's brutal & it sucks. Ugh.
Once heard a NASA engineer on TV interview say " at least the monkeys would do what you say and not argue"
