Damn, respect Jamie. I know you two don't always see eye to eye, but respecting Adams love of space, and passing up on such an incredible opportunity for the sake of someone you're not super close too, it's just a real stand up move.
Adam always said they were super close (as far as working together seamlessly) and enjoyed working together, just didnt hang out after work too
@@jacksonpalmer8955 No, he's never ever called them "super close", yes they had a fantastic working relationship but I don't think anyone would consider someone "super close" that they've never, ever even been to dinner with. Not once.
But yes, VERY VERY cool of Jamie, huge respect for him doing that for Adam.
@@ross-carlson ok I may have changed the verbage but adam always said they work exceptionally well together, moreso than even other people working with the show understand, and that they enjoy working together
Jamie and Adam always have an infinite amount of trust and respect for one another. They're just not in each others social circles as they're pretty much chalk and cheese personality wise.
Kinda surprised they didn't fly both Adam and Jamie. Must have been a cost issue.
Jamie letting Adam fly is probably the most gracious thing I've ever seen someone do. I seriously doubt I could do that. I would probably get into an argument and pitch a fit.
It's all the more impressive given that Jamie and Adam don't like each other.
seems pretty inline with their personalities TBH... I don't imagine jamie was all that worked up about it and adams obsession with space suits and space is pretty well known. it really just made sense for adam to be the one to do it.
They actually do like each other, they're just not in each others social circles.
they respect each other now, but the friction is obvious in the first few seasons.
@Brian Landers They have both answered this question numerous times. Quote from Adam (not word for word): They respect eachothers work and skills/abilities but they would not meet outside of work, they drive eachother batty and most likely would not work on another show together again. But they do not hate eachother.
As much as they didn't like each other Jamie was the ultimate friend by letting Adam live out his dream of going to space
I set a timer for two and half minutes and just sat in silence imagining what that free fall would be like.
Well actually you are not free falling all the time. You will have some seconds of free falling after you ejected until you reach terminal velocity which means you stop accellerating because of the air stream around you compensates the gravitational force. On that altitude you will reach about 250-300 mph which will slowly decrease to ca. 120 mph when decending into more dense athmosphere. But for about 15 seconds you will probably feel free fall. But that´s it.
Adventureairic, he is just means falling, not all of that stuff and what not. he is not thinking about speed, no you would be thinking about your life perhaps?
The falling would be normal if you're a pilot, I imagine they take parachuting courses.
What creeps me out is the thought of all of this happening while you're there with a broken back.
2:29 wow, Jamie is the man! Newfound ultimate respect towards this guy.
One of the problems with the U-2 (now TR-1) is that it's maximum speed is less than 10 knots away from its stall speed. So during a turn, the inside wingtip could conceivably be in a stall, while the outside wingtip is exceeding its design limits. Also, the initial aircraft had no auto pilot capability, so pilots had to manually fly within the narrowest of margins for 8 hours or more.
That moment when Adam was up there, that nerdgasm lol
Seriously, thanks to the sponsors and support staff that help produce the amazingness. It's gotta be hard for small business to make the kind of financial stake to help out like they did.
Thanks
+nathan rubio Sponsors? Do you really think they had to pay for this? The US Air Force does this for publicity!
They always say that their relationship is only professional, and not personal. But to give up the opportunity to fly to the edge of space because another might enjoy it more...
If that isn't friendship then I don't know what is.
As for shows that inspire our kids to become involved in science there are very few that go from a question mark to an exclamation mark with details in between. Your show is so inspiring I feel like it should be mandatory homework for students. As a lifetime aviation enthusiast I feel like I was on that flight---thanks guys. Good job!
Larry Bannerman yeah except it shows nothing of a curve. Reason, they are using a fish eye lens, even before they leave the ground. That is pure BS !
Jaime's MI5/Warehouse/place deserves it's own documentary
I love to add that drone delivery is being tested in San Moteo now. Hahahhaaha
3:57 SEE ITS ROUND, there be a curve
Flat Earthers: It's a fish eye lense
Nah bro earth is a circle, not a sphere... it has curve when you get that far above but its because its shaped like a frisbee
Edit: is joke my friends
@@jacksonpalmer8955 It isnt just a joke though.. You might be joking, but some people actually believe that stuff.
best tip for flying drones for beginners is, always make sure you know were the front of it is, because that is what you make your steering commands from, so keep the front and back in a parallel line with yourself .
Despite Adam and Jamie not wanting to work together now, this proves their respect for each other.
Jamie Bro-neman
Both of them had clarified that they don't mind working together again if given the opportunity. It's just that their career paths have diverged so much it may no longer be possible. Adam's hardcore into the entertainment industry and Jamie has gone deep into niche engineering fields.
!!!NERD ALERT!!! At 9:19 Adam says that he referred to the blue "blood" as "Vulcan blood", even though in Star Trek, Vulcan blood is green. Well, in fact, Adam was correct and Gene Roddenberry had it wrong. Humans have red blood because the oxygen carrier is iron-based (hemoglobin), but in the Star Trek universe Vulcans have a copper-based oxygen carrier (hemocyanin), and people associate the color green with copper oxidization for some reason (I'm looking at you, Statue of Liberty). The reality though is that blood with a copper-based oxygen carrier actually IS blue, as evidenced in the Horseshoe Crab, the Emperor Scorpion, and several other species of crustaceans and arthropods. Copper is a far less efficient oxygen carrier than iron, and as such, Vulcans would tend to be slower and weaker than humans, contrary to their physical superiority in the Star Trek universe.
What is the advantage of having blue blood, then?
Nerd
@@lupus67remus7 as far as I can tell Copper based blood is more efficient at lower temperatures and higher pressures. So if Vulcans had a lower body temperature. Say 20C rather than 37C or if they evolved on a planet with a much thicker atmosphere than Earth it might make sense.
@@lupus67remus7 Here is my understanding: Since horseshoe crabs have an open vascular system (i.e. no veins or arteries), there is a greater danger of bacterial infection in their bloodstream. Since copper has antibacterial properties, it is believed that copper blood is an adaptation to reduce the risk of infection.
Then Gene isn't wrong, just that the perception humans have about Vulkan anatomy in Star Trek is wrong.
Otherwise their blood would be lie and they'd be weaker not stronger.
U2 Has a 6 MPH Buffer, meaning if your speed is to slow you have compressor stall and you fall out of the sky, 7 MPH faster than the stall speed your Rip the wings off. That's why its the one of the most difficult planes to fly. Original U2 had a 12MPH buffer. Then they upgraded the engines and it reduced it even further. Truth
Othercelmer1 is
They call that "Coffin Corner"
Except that everything you’ve written is wrong.... a) you don’t get compressor stall just from flying slow. It’s just stalling. Nothing to do with the engine but to do with the wing can’t lift anymore. If you fly too fast then you don’t stall, you’re going to get Mach buffet and depending on the exceedance you may well start ripping rivets or buckling skin. That zone at high altitude is indeed coffin corner which most pilots are very familiar with
By the way, engines do not have ANYthing to with with low speed stall and high speed exceedance. It has all to do with the wing which they upgraded and made the frame lighter which helps opening up the margins
@@kyleog6527 well I mis spoke didnt mean compressor stall. The rest of my statement holds true. So whats your point?
A store in the Mekonomen chain of auto-parts store use drones to deliver parts to mechanics here in Sweden.
8:15 They were talking about delivering mail by rocket at one point.
Did try it around 1920 to 1930. I'm unsure of precisely when. The US Post Office was part of the trials.
@@rutabagasteu Heinlein also used the concept in many of his early "Juvenile" Novels.
That one time you said drones won't deliver packages to your door....
Amazon: hold my beer
What's awesome is that a lot of these things is what Chris Hadfield trained in for years. You're basically doing NASA training stuff, just not as overcautious and not a lot to memorize
I hope Adam and Jamie know how inspiring they both are for young kids everywhere.
I miss them so much 😢
Love seeing those Pontiac G8 GT chase vehicles with the U2!
Most of the top contenders for "most difficult plane to fly" are aircraft you have never heard of unless you're a hard core aviation history buff. Aircraft like the Gee Bee, Stipa-Caproni, Vought V-173, Lockheed XFV and the Northrop XB-35. You never hear about them because they kept killing pilots. That being said, there is a great case for calling the U-2 the "Most difficult to fly operational aircraft"
MAN! I would love to go up in a U-2 plane but probably would never be able pass the requirements
Let's get a gofundme to get Jamie a ride in one of those!!
3:58 wow
I'm not the best flyer in the world, it kinda makes me uneasy sometimes, and it's usually when I think about what's actually happening to me/what I'm doing, so what Adam said at 4:14 gave me anxiety like crazy and he's like, "Not a bad way to spend your day." And in my head I'm like, "Absolutely ridiculous and terrifying."
*Kari Byron walks in*
"Hey guys, we've worked together for years and... I think it's finally time we have some fun, if you know what I mean... But only one of you."
"Hey Adam... You know that time I let you fly to outer space..."
There would be a fight thats for sure, Jamie would win that fight 9 times out of 10 lol
loved show and after show.
Copper-based blood is blue, so the idea of Vulcan blood being green is probably down to the writers' lack of understanding of chemistry.
Coming from logistical stand point, I dont think were really that close to drone delivery. Youd get a drop off, maybe two if they were nearby before youd have to bring the drone back for a recharge. In the future, with battery tech advancement and the like, its definitly possible, but not for the near future
That was a fantastic episode. That episode should be mandatory for any flat earther. Look over Adam’s shoulder and the shot out of the canopy when he was in the U-2. You can see the obvious curvature of the earth. End of conversation.
They will always have an excuse no matter what. Even if the flat earther was in the airplane they'd just say the windows were projectors or it was all an elaborate simulation or some shit lol
I would of loved to do this
one of the U2 training planes just like this with double cockpit from this exact Base crashed yesterday. RIP to the pilot.
Beale AFB, CA.
Any idea what happened?
they haven't said anything yet. AF still has the area locked down investigating
Roger that. Preciate it.
Np. you can check out our local paper for any updates. appealdemocratdotcom it crashed about 1.2 miles from my house very sad
I like that Adam is against our eventual Terminator type future. FIGHT SKYNET! We will be sending Adam back to deal with this.
ahhhhh i fucking love how jamie says "jar!" as a pirat
3:52 look everyone, it’s *f l a t e a r t h* 🥴
At 3:46, what part of the world does it look like they are flying over?
Not wanting to be overly gruesome?! They've blown fish apart at point blank range and torn pigs to shreds with snapping steel cables or chains fired from cannons! It's a little late to play it safe at this point.
Watch from 3:50 to 3:53, what makes the earth curve increase like that?
Go pro fish eye..they can hide flat earth 😉
its this magical thing called... perspective...
The problem about the beautiful view from the U-2 is that pilots don't get to admire it for long, especially back in the Cold War when you notice things like "Hey there are *Soviet* nukes right next to Florida."
Somebody should crowdfund a Blue Origin suborbital flight for Adam.
My question was what is the song that was played when Adam reached 70,000 feet?
+darkless60 creed - higher
+Iggy Tubmen No? Doesn't sound remotely the same...
It was the bgm that made the scene so epic!!!
Would love to know what is it.
+darkless60 it is "Time" by Han Zimmer... awesome song.
I checked it...it's Ninja Tracks - New Horizon
fuNaN89 Thanks bro, its New Horizons. Apparently its a redone version of Time by Hans Zimmer, so HonestJohnny is also right :)
These guys think they see Earths curve but Neil DeGrasse Tyson says not even Branson can see it with his "space flight".
Five people to put on the flight suit? WOW, how did the Apollo astronauts do that in the small LEM on the moon? Just asking......
No, they went up already in them.
Rural drone delivers make sense.
B.O.B should watch this.
its the fucking wings dumbass
Their has been word spreading about using delivery drones coming to Amazons new Markham headquarters in Toronto Ontario.
he flew from Beal air Force Base I live like five minutes away from the main gate on North Beal road he passed right by my house.
Come on blue blood!? Did parents get that protective over their kid? That's the whole point of Discovery! To teach on people on how everything works! If people are that worried about kids watching red blood then why is Naked and Afraid on? I serve my point.
Too true! That's a show I feel should have been axed *before* the first episode aired, if their gonna be all "Oh no! BLOOD!" about this!
when I was a kid they used to show gazelle getting ripped apart and devoured by lions on TV... that blood wasn't blue.
I thought Jamie was afraid of heights? He would have been OK with flying in the U-2?
Drone deliveries are great! One gets a whole bunch of moving targets!!!!
It was a poor idea to use fisheye cameras. We don't really get an idea of the real curvature that's seen from that height
Почему камера в самолёте показывает плоский горизонт за спиной у испытателя?
Nice chase cars
Australian cars ;-)
Lol....
Glad there were no S400 sams around.
what happened to the curvature at 4:17? hmm maybe they didnt have a fisheye lense?
the b58 hustler could be one of the most difficult
Yep, the issue with the U-2 is it's Speed/Stall Envelopes are just a few Knots difference once you're at 70,000 feet and Above
I believe there are versions of the SR-71 that can fly higher, so why did you choose the U-2? The SR-71 also is the 2nd fastest plane in the world, so that is a nother factor I wanted to ask about the show.
there is no SR-71 remaining in service since 1990.
Camera fish eye 😁
Technically Adam is a astronaut as he flew above 50,000 feet
Not even close! You are only considered an astronaut after you reach 75 miles above the earth! Adam still got a ways to go! The only winged plane other than the space shuttle that can go up that high would be the X -15 rocket plane.
Adam did you get to talk to James May about the same flight he did for advice?
Drone delivery = skeet shooting with instant prizes.
make a video of quadcopters picking up humans?
the dron delivery is her
They already deliver transplant organs via drones in Africa. I think real engineering did a video about it.
i wonder if they were asked today if drone delivery plausable
Some flat eathers use the flat horizon behind Adam at 3:47 and 4:17 as proof for flat earth. Can someone explain that?
+Bnslamb The Earth isn't flat
There are many instances more where you can see that the curvature is just a lens effect. It is flat.
Yes the curved shots are an obvious fish eye and the times you mention are a non distorted view. They are purposefully manipulating you. If they would have left the curved shots for longer you would have seen the curve change as the camera angle shifted. Study high altitude videos and watch as their fish eye lens shifts and the curve changes.
Next time put Jamie in a MIG 25.
Has anyone ever wondered why they have a Romen solider with a gas mask on?
But Amazon does deliver by drones
what about the harrier jump jet, known as the hardest plane to land ever
+chilcottjack29 I fly it all the time on Battlefield, it's not very difficult. You just have to practice, I think a controller is easier than mouse and keyboard though.
+GodzirraEN yeah not that hard on a game but the real deal is somthing else you muppet
+chilcottjack29 The Harrier in Battlefield is in fact a simulation. It's a pretty accurate recreation of flight, so I feel like I'm pretty much good enough to fly a harrier, just not fly it in real combat. Take off and land? No problem
@@Splint993 the harrier in battle field is not even close to being a simulation. Try DCS that’s a real simulator! It takes people years to learn how to fly it on DCS including me. Just starting up the jet can take weeks to learn.
@@roccop3760 I haven’t flown one yet in real life so i can’t know for sure. But I’m guessing it’s pretty simple to start. Introduce some fuel, introduce some spark. Bam! Airplane started. After that just drive over to the takeoff place and push the power up and pull back on the controls until it goes in the air.
I bet you the drones delivering stuff is going to be for certain products and it also has to be close enough
What if you guys got to ride in an SR-71 instead of an U-2?
Benjamin Sam well its retired so theyre gonna have to pull major strings
Benjamin Sam No SR-71's are air worthy, Unless you got like 15 Billion dollars to build another one then yeah then they could do it.
NZpnw Correct, they are in Moth-Ball status.
collguyjoe99
As awesome of an aircraft it was it was too expensive to operate, Fuel always leaks, You will need to refuel once you takeoff, Maintinance is too expensive, I don't see it coming bad sadly.
Well the SR-72 is now in confirmed development, but it will be unmanned. At least it didn't have as many problems as the YF-12 variant and it's recon drone.
Hey myth busters, Neil Degrass Tyson called and said BS on seeing the curvature of the Earth at that height.
Looks like fisheye lense the curve is extra when the plane is at an angle and less so when leveled
Source for this. The only places I could find it were flat earth sites and comments on youtube videos.
@@captianmorgan7627 the source is Neil Degrass Tyson. While being interviewed on the subject of Felix Baumgartner jumping from the stratosphere at 128 k feet, Tyson clarified that you can't see the curve from the height. If that is true then neither can mythbusters since he flew at a much lower altitude. Tyson explains the use of fish eye lenses to create curvature. By his account, photos or footage from anyone at the height serves neither Ball Earth or Flat Earth proofs.

@@Dnelms11 Thanks. That is a horribly edited video but it allowed me to find the actual primary source:
From 38:47 - 39:42 at ua-cam.com/video/j_bW1c3P-EA/v-deo.html
Lol if only they knew this a few years later. Amazon does it and a few pizza places. Gotta be lose and only a certain weight but yeah it does happen 🤣
I started looking in the comments for this. Now 2 years later and happens all the time.
Is it harder to fly a U2, yes.
Why? it has a front and back wheels in 1 line..... Hello 😂
Landing a plane in the Hudson River and survive is a feat greater than the previous stated landing.
Why? Because he did not have any guides and had a margin smaller than landing a U2.(wheels are useless on water)
Picture perfect landing that day 😁
I've finally found an aircraft with worse landing gear than the bf109
There is nothing wrong with the bf109's landing gear!!! 😅
DID HE SEE A CURVE OF THE PLANET UP THERE????
He was told to say that ..There is no curve, Its part of the pre flight briefing , I've done it. You sign 75 documents before so, and they basically put your name in a book for reasons unknown....It's funny how monotone he said "Theres a definitive curve" He knows its BS. You're literally told to comment on the curve , and Theres a reason why they use standard fisheye lenses . They are just a wing of NASA and nothing more but lies and money pits for us sheep to keep filling..Pie Anyone?
+simon juaRez Whatever your smoking I want some.
Sweet sticky reality buddy lol
D.R. Lee lmao no one asks because it's a stupid question. I will never understand science deniers.
Smh ok dude. It's useless to show you mathematical equations because you'll just shout, it's a hoax! Keep on trolling.
Using the fisheye lens to show curvature. 😂
14 people are mad they can't grow facial hair
Hardest plane to Land
The flying part in easy 😎
I love how poorly that drone delivery comment aged... and so quickly too!
I was wondering myself how the AF was allowing civilian flights in the U2 they have some sort of program now for this much like the fighter jet rides they give celebrities, news reporters, and rich people. I had heard my CEO got a F-16 flight with the Thunderbird's I started asking why CEO's are getting rides my company gave some money to a charity the AF was giving rides for. As much as we like to see this reality is they are using tax payer funds to produce a for profit show. Even if they pay for the cost to operate the U2 cost millions just doesn't seem fair that a select few get rids always rich CEO's or celebrities.
endorians blood is blue
Would everyone stop calling them "drones" They are r/c aircraft!
Como pueden engañar a las personas la tierra es plana
So it's so "scary" for piss fearing Adam, that he believes there shouldn't be drone delivery. Good thing he's not a senator
the pilot looks like a lizard
Oh, don't you add reptilians to this already hair-brained "debate"!
So is the earth flat?
This vídeo shows the fraud ;) fish eye lens.
No.
Where is my comment showing you every minute where you can see that the curvature is just a lens effect? Oh. Someone cares a lot about those comments.
first view and first like!!!!!
Brady Lovig No one cares.
jealous???!!!
Because you were first to comment on a video? Seriously? What are you, 12?
yes i am
on a scale from one to ten.
+Brady Lovig trollololololol
Go to Area 51
There's no curvature in the footage looking at him in the plane. Look behind him at the horizon. Then, when they cut to the fisheye lens facing to the side, there suddenly is. They cut back and forth numerous times. If there really was curvature at that height, you'd see it in all directions. It looks perfectly flat in the non fisheye footage facing toward the back of the plane every time.
I just saw the flatvature of the earth
Jesus, fisheye much?! Although, you can see our beautiful flat earth in the shots from the camera pointed towards the back of the plane, so thanks for that.
Anyone else notice that the wing of the plane is always angled down below the horizon before showing us the go pro footage. Why do this? Because wide angle lenses can create a curve that isn't there. If the wing was angled up and the camera was looking above the horizon the earth would appear concave. Go watch Felix bumgartners jump video and the curve of the earth does all kinds of strange things. Sometimes curved, sometimes concave. When he reaches the ground you can still see a curve. Go pro fish eye lens. Look it up. They take one good curve photo from the footage and say here's the curve. I can take a clip from the same footage and prove the earth is concave. With no fish eye lens you would never see any curvature
So now the myth of earth's curved up to a ball shape surface is busted I guess.
hongry life I dont think so, when they get confront about the lie, then they use the ohh is just show bisnes entretaintment you know card..ua-cam.com/video/z0WbC4PaQks/v-deo.html
ja ja , una cámara con curvatura y otra no . Quien puede creer tal mentira. pulgar abajo!
