    I’m going to have to use that quote: “we choose to go back to the moon and do those other things not because they are easy, but because they are cool.” That’s just such a good summary of why we make scientific progress if we are being honest with ourselves about it

      That’s not the only reason though, countless advancements would not exist without space exploration, political boundaries could not be broken, profit exists commercialism lies in any new territory. Innovation, exploration, policy, politics, global warming, scientific theory. Hundreds more that make it a crime to just say, “because it’s cool.”

    2:22, Bonus Urine Fact:
    Yuri Gagarin was of course the first human in space; a soviet union cosmonaut. During the bus ride out of to his rocket, - Vostok 1, he realized he had to pee. He decide to relieve himself on a black tire of the bus. For the cosmonauts who came after, it was considered bad luck not to do this on one's journey out to the launch pad also. The tradition continues today. (Given to anatomical constraints within a spacesuit, ladies generally prepare the urine beforehand in a small bottle or bile and deposit it with a throw.)

    My dad was an aerospace engineer in the 60s. He worked for Martin Marietta, designing ICBMs, when I was born in Denver (no shit, it says "Father's place of employment: Missile Plant" on my birth certificate). He got hired by a NASA subcontractor in 1966, and we moved to Huntsville Alabama, where all the Apollo design work was done. My daddy was a spaceman, all the kid's daddies were spacemen. He worked there all the way through the Skylab missions, then in 73, it all wound down, and he found work in the nuclear field, and we moved away.
    I have a coin from him, they gave one out to all the key people, made from the metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and stamped with a caption and picture of the event.
    It was a strange and exciting time to be alive.

There was a lightning strike just a few hundred meters away, and our boat almost got toppled over from the waves. We were screaming and praying to god thinking we were going to die, we were taking in water and my friend was trying to get it out using his boot as a bucket, meanwhile l tried to keep the boat from toppling over. Never been so scared in my life, but never have I had so much fun either.

      Average bullet speed is anywhere from 900-3,500 fps depending on caliber etc. So 17x faster than that is a HUGE range.

    About the "hostility" in the space race:
    Ultimately, it was the perfect example what a "war", even a cold one, should be. A competition between scientists and engineers, not to see who can make the most intercontinental nuclear missiles, but rather who can make the best scientific vessel to go somewhere we hadn't even dreamt of going before.
    It may not have been the friendliest competition in the history of humanity, but it was certainly one of the friendliest stand-ins for a war, as ultimately, it wasn't about hurting or sabotaging the others, but improving the own designs.

We all might see that. Not alot of them, but there might be glimmers here and there. The first sparks of humans entering space.
    Honestly this video made me feel something i felt when i read about the apollo program as a kid. The magic, the science, the technology. We DID this. This happened. There wheree humans walking on that bright thingy in the sky. This was everything for me when i was a child. And this video brought back this overwelming feeling of magic.

      Big Stud for me, I have different perspectives. Yeah there are times when I don’t want to do assignments, but I view it as going to the gym, or cleaning your room. Something you don’t want to do, but is necessary. Also, remind yourself why you’re doing this to begin with. Just like the gym, it takes practice and dedication. I often find that whenever I push myself to do my assignments when I least want to, is when I end up learning the most and being happy cause I was able to make that A. “C is good enough” is not a mentality you want to have. Sure C’s are ‘good enough’, but you want to reach your full potential. And as an engineer, seeing different perspectives to a problem and solving the problem is a necessary trait you must adapt.... in other words, suck it up, do the work, cause when you look back you’ll be glad you did it, and when you look forward you’ll be ready for the next step... also don’t stress yourself, take your time and dedicate large amounts of time to studying. You’ll find yourself having fun and if you don’t already feel a passion for it, it’ll start to spark it. 👍🏽 anyways good luck, I hope this helps in some type of way.

But no one ever just talked like this all the time. It takes time and practice and usually lots of revision. He probably went through multiple drafts of this script as well as the recording. It is better to appreciate the work in this light, not only to acknowledge the efforts Exurb1a (and other creatives like him) put into each of their projects, but also so that others just starting out know to not get discouraged when they first start making stuff and find out how clunky first drafts tend to be.

      @@lowkey_entertaining9723 // Now now don't be so pessimistic, there are some points to what he said despite the world-views present here. Most likely, he's talking about all things a person can find passion in.
      A person who can be passionate about astronomy will most likely turn humble at the realization of how insignificantly small the each of us are.
      This most likely will apply to astronauts who have been to space.
      Those who made it to the moon will leave all semblance of history that our world made, into a place entirely unknown, a place more harsh than the place we're all born from; to leave behind earth and travel to space, is to subsequently realize and acknowledge the many subsequent miracles that happen in the earth.
      And anyone who is passionate about Astronomy, will at some point want to see this kind of view that captivates the hearts of astronauts alike; just breathing in a place outside of the planet is already making history itself.
      But it doesn't have to be exactly that example only, nor does it have to be astrology in its entirely, it can be creative writing, singing in the music industry, dancing in a place vastly different from home such as a ballroom.
      It's really just passion about this and that, someone who is passionate over something will have changed for the better, and become more assured; whether that change is good for others or not.
      Neo Bilal might be wrong, but he's certainly not mistaken.

      Got curious. Did some googling.
      There's almost the same amount of time from Columbus finding the "New World" to the founding of the first settlement. Which was Roanoke and failed, but later Jamestown succeeded.
      I've lost track of my sentence construction.
      Pick it up ... to the first lunar landing and the Artemis program which plans to STAY.
      Although the moon is much tougher environment than the Western Hemisphere.
      So actually, we're pretty much on schedule.

      Like WTF folks!
      How did Don Petit the astroNOT put it, “ I’d go back to the moon in a nanosecond, but we don’t have that technology anymore, we used to, but we destroyed it, and it’s a painful process to build it back again”!!😮😂😂
      They claim they taped-over some of the telemetry and lost the remainder of the info used for the guidance systems!
      You’re telling me the most paramount thing human beings has ever done in the history of the world, and ‘they’ lost & taped-over what!?!?!?

    6:00- Carl Sagan actually had some interesting thoughts on that plaque
    “For me, the most ironic token of [the first human moon landing] is the plaque signed by President Richard M. Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon. It reads, ‘We came in peace for all Mankind.’ As the United States was dropping seven and a half megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock.”
