Astronaut training isn't for the faint of heart. Even from the onset of space exploration, the training has always been intense. Do you think you could make it through?

*This video* just shattered *thousands* of children's dreams to *become an astronaut.*
Definitely not I am still going to try.
Cookie Builder That's the spirit, Cookie Builder!
***** You think a PHD is outside the scope of a child's dreams? sad days.
Or is it the scuba training? Jaws was pretty scary.
***** and one adult T_T
Jake Surname No, I didn't watch the video. Sorry
Born too late to explore the earth and too early to explore space, but we are born just in time to explore the internet :)
Luis R. *the dank memes
Luis R. im pretty sure you can still explore the earth, just build a good enough submarine :P
Fuck the ocean xD
I wanna find me a kraken
Born to late to explore Earth, born too early to explore space, but born just in time to explore space in VR. (And VR porn)
Personally I am going to aspire towards being an astronaut, I don't care how hard it is.
Toron Turn that aspiration into perspiration and you are surely to accomplish anything you set your mind too!
+Toron Just study a field of engineering somewhat related to space exploration, and take it from there.
I'm studying electrical engineering myself, primarily because robots and automation etc, but if i ever got the chance to apply as an astronaut, i'm going to make sure i'm prepared.
I basically tick all the requirements to apply, as i got my bachelor degree this summer.
IchBinEin Aerospace engineering is what i'm going for in Uni, but before that i'm probably going to do a level 2 mechanical engineering course.
Toron
Awesome, but just a friendly advice; Aerospace engineering is one of the trickier fields of engineering. It's a good idea, as you said, to do some courses beforehand but it's not at all required. Enthusiasm gets you a long way.
In reality, aerospace engineers are just specialized mechanical engineers with some complementary physics and fluid dynamics etc.
Most technical universities don't even offer Aerospace engineering as a specific path, but rather just offer it as supplementary courses for other engineering paths, and are often just a part of your masters.
IchBinEin I am defiantly interested in Aerospace engineering, so difficulty doesn't matter to me, and there are plenty of technical uni's i've seen offering it as it's own standalone course.
the greatest shame is the fact that most normal people living in the world today will never be able to go to space..
Twitchi alternatively you could say the greatest gift is that nobody has to go to space
Twitchi But we get to see a Japanese mech fight an American Mech :)
Twitchi Most normal people will not experience most of what there is to be experienced. Why not trying out the things normal people in the past could not experience, but are available now?
You mean we don't have what it takes, don't have the iron will, the mental and physical power and stamina of....Don Pettit? lol
Immigrant, aerospace engineer...don't care still fighting to become an astronaut. I will get there!
Kevin Euceda nigga u r awesome
Kevin Euceda u need to join military brand at least and get, I think it was 20,000 hours of flying a jet for to become a nasa astronaught
CodyGamingMinecraft lol it’s only 1000 hours but yea
Did anyone else catch that at 1:30-2 it replays but in a different tone lol
nick spaulding finally seeker crew shows human characteristics called error
Kudos to those in this comment section who want to become astronauts! Maybe one day, I'll be talking to you guys from Mission Control. ;D
Alexis Ellison Why not
da_Swe Guy What do you mean?
Alexis Ellison "houstan we got a problem aigan"
Finally my shortness is good for something
For sure, Being an astronaut would be the ultimate job
I'm Eleven. Going on Twelve. and I've wanted to be an astronaut since Kindergarten. and did MASS (Haha get it?) research. I learned about Schwartzchild radiuses. Black holes, Hawking Radiation, (What black holes emit) The Asteroid Belt.. The Kelpar belt, and have been crapped on by my friends and own teacher early in my life (note, I'm Eleven..) at eight, and even seven. I'm not giving up now. I've got my whole life ahead of me.
Gavin Ramos You're exactly like me! Hopefully we will both be in space one day.
PS I'm also 11
Matt Maybe one day we'll be talking to each other on Mission Control!
Gavin Ramos I hope so!
Mister Zoloft
Learning them don't necessarily means you understand them. If you do, good for you, but avoid to show off like that, you won't get anywhere if you keep that mindset later :)
i'm gonna work so hard to make this dream come true wish me luck
Kristen wish you luck :)
Good luck sis
Kristen good luck
Kristen goodluck 🙌🏼
Kristen good luck i hope you achieve your goal {wish me luck too bcuz i have the same dream :) } !!!
what is it about ohio that makes people want to leave this planet?
He he nice joke
ihaveagun22 It's much more than just being astronauts. Ohio is tied with Virginia for most presidents. My mother's side of the family comes from Ohio (in fact the same town as General Sherman) and the best I can tell is that in Ohio there's a culture of doing things fully.
+kokofan50 Ohio is f*cking awesome play to live. Not to cold, and not to hot.
+kokofan50 good ol Lancaster, OH.
+ihaveagun22 Thats a HILARIOUS point of veiw man. Laughed my ASS off. Thanks for making my day.
some times I wish I could do things like that, when I was younger I use to want to be an astronaut, Movies like Space Camp, The Right Stuff, and Apollo 13 inspired me when I was younger, I have since then changed my mind to do other things but every once in a while I get a little spark of regret, going to space and seeing the small sphere where all man kind live will always be a little dream in my heart.
I want to become an astronaut.I don't care how hard it is.It may even give me the last breathe experience.But I am not going to give up
Space: We're bad at it but we keep trying
LMAO
i have always wanted to an astronot. it sounds amazing. i still will follow my dreams. i can do anything.
Sierra Montes except spell
Thanks for the great video! I travel to Houston next week to interview for NASA astronaut selection and watched is as part of my interview prep. Thanks.
R.I.P. My hopes and dreams. Never gonna see you, space.
You will be if you want it enough :) you can do it!!!!!!!!!
Anderson Hills What do you think I am? I probably can't even fit inside a spaceship.
+Marsasalam you can be as tall as 6'3! It is getting taller and taller!:):):)
Anderson Hills . 6'3 is what in metres?
I'm two metres tall.
+Marsasalam about 1.8 meters :) you should be able to get In soon!
I literally love these little podcast style shows, please dont stop!!!
You need to be scuba qualified because they need to be able to train for their missions under water at NASA's test facility, which is basically just an incredibly huge swimming pool.
Filled with salt that makes you float to simulate weightlessness in space
This information is very helpful when looking at the whole career. Thanks for the post!! Take care and be in good health.
I can't become an astronaut. Too tall, and I have an anxiety disorder.
+Larry Phischman lol I cant becasue I am not a US citizen :((
+Worldtuts Now what about ESA?
Worldtuts Now
The only thing that would hinder you from becoming an astronaut that is origin related is being from a country that calls theirs cosmonauts.
@@DSQueenie my country has not space agency if I get dual citizenship US I can apply right?
So interesting! Well done.
Trace, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR SHIRTS?!
Internet
Harry Newbury Do a search on "Fuzz Aldrin T-shirt" and it will come up
Harry Newbury The land of interwebs obviously
under 5'11. *check* T_T
Ayy im close
Dustin Trinidad know the feels bro
Cries in corner
+Dustin Trinidad I'm not 5'11 yet.... i'll stop drinking milk for the rest of my life!
+Baby Donkey 😂😂
Becoming an astronaut was always a huge dream of mine, and I really became obsessed with it when I was 15. I have to put aside all other distractions so that I can focus on becoming an astronaut, because I still want to do it.
Love this show
And this , kids , is how dreams are shattered in 5 minutes T_T
spooder. yusr *9 minutes.
interesting topices. you are repeating yourself sometimes. the info is useful thnaks
Going next year to do my Masters in Physics with Space Science at Uni, qualified PADI deep scuba diver, have my pilots licence! Things are looking hopeful!!
Every profession that we were going to involve , there’s problems that had to face , some were so tough & difficult , some were a bit simple & much easier ! If we were determined to be an astronaut , we’ve really to be sacrificed in order to succeed !
Can you make a video about the differences of ESA's Astronaut training/requirements to NASA's?
For your viewers from over the atlantic! :D
The original quote, as related by Jerry Pournelle is (courtesy of www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/surfaceorbit.php):
Mr. Heinlein and I were discussing the perils of template stories: interconnected stories that together present a future history. As readers may have suspected, many future histories begin with stories that weren't necessarily intended to fit together when they were written. Robert Heinlein's box came with "The Man Who Sold the Moon." He wanted the first flight to the Moon to use a direct Earth-to-Moon craft, not one assembled in orbit; but the story had to follow "Blowups Happen" in the future history.
Unfortunately, in "Blowups Happen" a capability for orbiting large payloads had been developed. "Aha," I said. "I see your problem. If you can get a ship into orbit, you're
halfway to the Moon."
"No," Bob said. "If you can get your ship into orbit, you're halfway to _anywhere_."
He was very nearly right.
-Bachelor of Science in Mathematics / Master of Science in Applied Mathematics
-Former US Navy Submarine Officer during 10 years
-NASA Flight Director
One small detail; Robert A Heinlein *was* a science fiction master author; he left the world for good on May 8th, 1988 at the ripe, old age of 80.
Your previous video listed for video 1 is not about space travel?
I went to space camp and aviation camp too lol it's was in Alabama.
is it possible to fling something into space? this is something iv been thinking about, i don't think it would be poss. straight like a rocket. Perhaps at a particular angle?
Give this channel 1 million subscribers already! 😂
Hi Trace,
Technically MOST of Apollo 13 was shot on the vomit comet. The other bits were shot on a soundstage using a teeter totter device and the actors miming the weightless environment. It is easy to mistake one shot for the other because the acting is so good.
You mean the movie?
Yep I do. Thanks for the clarification.
I still have a chance!!! The only thing that could hold me back is my heart, I hope it doesn't get any worse
Cameron The fucking cookie god same
I know I will never go to space. It’s a huge dream for me.. but I atleast hope I could work for nasa.
when they need a bachelor's degree in engineer and my course now is Hospitality Management 😂🔫 so long and goodnight! lol
I am going to try that.
It's not the going to space I would really look forward to, though that would be awesome.
I want to experience the return to earth from inside a capsule. Enter the atmosphere at 17,000+ miles per hour? Where do I sign up?
Saying something is hard to do isn't a reason for someone to not take the initial leap to do it. Regrets are real. Trying is far better than thinking about the 'woulda, coulda, shoulda' when you're 55 years young and remain a loyal employee to McDonald's for the last 16 years. Nothing in life is just handed to you, you take a step towards it. And as cheesy as it sounds, you make your own dreams come true, whether that be an astronaut or an aspiring entrepreneur. My UA-cam is very dull, but that might be because I'm going to school for my degree in astrophysics, possible aeronautics. I have a question for everyone who's even remotely interested in outer space, the solar system, other galaxies, or even becoming a cosmonaut. Do you believe in the soon to be mission to Mars? How do you feel about it? What do you feel will come out of this mission?
In response to that alternative title [we're bad at it, yet we keep doing it]: hey, we'll get good at it if we keep it up!
The SCUBA certification is due to the neutral buoyancy training. Just like the vomit-commit, it is the chance to see how the astronaut candidate will react in microgravity, therefore, both methods of learning are important for astronauts to use.
At the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, ALB, there is/was a tank that had a full scale Shuttle Bay (STS), and the pool was 60 feet across (the size of the bay) and 100 feet tall. Astronautic candidates trained in his facility and it best helped them to prepare for space travel, manipulation of tools in that environment, and becoming comfortable in the suits for when they would be performing Extra-Vehicular Activities (EVAs).

hello Trace!
getting to the Aviation Industry in the future is enough for me, even though Space Travel sounds amazing, its pretty much life or death.
This video killed my dreams on the first 2 minutes
About swimming, have you ever wondered what do you do when you land your spaceship in water?
2:04 "the Mercury program to get the first men into space" did you forget yuri gargaring
Hi Trace
Yay I'm getting scuba training and I want to be an engineer I'm practically there already.
Might be a stupid question but are you guys related to Discovery at all? Staying subscribed regardless
Yes they are
Discovery channel? Wow yeah i thought i saw a D in a logo somewhere last week, thanks for the reply man
good
THAT SHIRT IS SO CUTE! ^_^
Did you say the same thing at1:40?
Did the astronaut kitty on your shirt go to space too?
I aspire to become an Astronaut since I was 5 years old!
ummm where can I get that shirt ?!
I have applied many times at nasa it is hard to get in I am qualified just bad at interviews.
Hey DNews!! I know this video is old but I hope you see this comment. I fit the qualifications and I am currently in college getting a physics degree. Do you guys think you could find out what SpaceX wants with their astronauts? They have stuff put on their applications page, but it doesn't seem to involve being an astronaut
Ohio!Actually many astronauts from Ohio were very,very underqualified.I guess the only thing you need to become an Astronaut is for your birth card to say Ohio and you are in!
The 11g test thing sounds really fucking brutal!!
I'm from Michigan too and I laughed when he called out Ohio. We actually have like a one on one feud with them lol.
Good
I'm Going In For Hand Surgery..I Am Nervous.
What I'm Going To Do Is Think Of An Adventure. It As A Preparation For A Mission. So All Week I'm Getting Myself Physically And Mentally In Shape.
Upping My Workouts.
Altering My Nutrition Plan. Minimizing To That Of What Astronaughts Consume.
Preparing For Op One Has To Have Lite Meals. Very Similar.
This May Be Normal To Some.As For Me It's New.
where you from in michigan?
Im a distant relative to Buzz Aldrin on the swedish side, That gotta mean im meant to go to space, Right?
what are better, than the life... maybe the life forever. if u are always so good. here, and there.
I'm 19 and my math skills are so bad I will have hard time majoring in any type of engineering but being an astronaut is my dream.. but if the degrees are the easy parts then damn..
I'm from Warren, Michigan
SCUBA training isn't about swimming. It's about learning to breath a new way.
yes
Just a nitpick: the Mercury mission didn't have the first people go into space. That would be a Soviet program.
Just a nitpick. I'm sure you're aware of that.
You didn't understand the scuba requirement. How could you, when doing your research miss the swimming pool where they do all that weightlessness training??? Aka the "Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory".
I want to be an Astronaut and go to space, float around, be in a space shuttle and space rocket, be in the International Space Station, do a spacewalk and space repair, walk on the moon and on mars and wear boots, space suit, headset and space helmet with a visor
Ground control to Astronaut William Fairchild in space
Ladies and Gentleman the eagle has landed
It's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind
The SCUBA training is for when the module lands in the ocean
Hi trace
what this video should be titled is: "Could you handle what it takes to BECOME an astronaut?"
Well there goes my dreams of being an astronaut(I'm 6 foot 5)
Im 6ft2 250 pounds is that bot allowed?
I think that one of the reasons why they would need to scuba train inside of their suits would be in case they have to reenter over the ocean.
Am I the only one who noticed that the strong physically and mentally part was put in twice
LETS ALL BE ASTRONAUTS
Swimming is not for space... One of the risks is that the shuttle crashes into water (around 72% change :)).
the psychological screening is what totally destroyed the movie Gravity for me
#going2space a new Jr.. Astronaut training program that includes multiple flights and a guaranteed seat on a suborbital flight.
space scares the shit out of me so probably not
my wish is to become an astronaut.. i just need to travel to the US and study science there
"Have to be an American citizen" * cries in Canadian *
u have the canadian space agency
What about a Canadian? Or would they also have to get a dual citizenship?
We have our own astronaut program here in Canada
I like it how you need a scuba license I'm all good then because I swim and play water polo
Talk about human experimentation
my vision it's not that perfect can I still become an astronaut ?
yes if it could get corrected by surgery
thanks for the info
I'm still ganna try I love space and so curious I ask my teacher if aliens exist or will earth explode one day?
his hairline is literally a letter V
Go Bucks!!!
