Abandoned Space Hardware: CANCELLED Part 2

- Part 1 here! - • Abandoned Space Hardwa...
There’s nothing more exciting than a new rocket concept, a new mission to unknown worlds, or an exciting breakthrough technology. Unfortunately for every proposal there’s almost an equal amount of cancellations with only a small handful making it beyond the drawing board.
What’s even more frustrating is when these concepts leave paper, have thousands of engineering hours put in, hardware gets built, billions of dollars invested and THEN it gets put on the shelf.
In this new series called “cancelled”, we’re going to take a look at space programs and concepts that were so close to complete and sometimes even launched before it got cancelled.

"They (Saturn V) are just laying there. Shackled to the ground by gravity which they just *know* they are capable of overcoming" - Tim Dodd 2019.
Beautifully said Tim.

@@blockblock5193 *Dodd. That's his actual surname. It's said on the subtitles and the beginning of the video.
Ben Cris2bal I’m a moron so leave me alone
Saturn V are like humankind. We COULD save the climate and feed any person on this planet and give them proper shelter and have them live in peace. Yet we cancelled that program as well and humanism is rotting away in some museum while capitalists do their thing......
@@A.Lifecraft We could not, because there is no "we". That's simply a fact, and neither possible nor desirable to change. Humans are not ants.
I bursted out laughing when I saw the engineers pulling and pushing the Saturn V for testing. Had never seen those videos, it's amazing! Funny how in those days sometimes the simplest of methods would work, and it did work because the Saturn V is a beautiful beast in itself.
that was funny, you think they could have got some horses or circus elephants (yes they existed in those days) for the dynamic test. :D
@@ronschlorff7089 at least a couple of kerbals!
Which Saturn v is that? The one now on display in Florida?
@@MoonMan22 Yep.
I bet they could not duplicate higher frequency resonance vibrations! LOL
My mom saw you plug your merch during the InSight live stream and now i have the f-1 engine diagram on a sweatshirt.
I will never be mad at people plugging merch again.
😂😂😂 I love it!
I wish
Pleasantly surprised of you making such informative video about LK-1. I am actually a student of Moscow Aviation Institute, aerospace facility. I have an acces to Mishin's space center, where LK-1 is located. I touched it, and some separate parts of it to study how it works. Our teacher also mentioned that our LK-1 is in most "ready to flight" condition of all 5. There are many great probes and sattelites, nearly all of soviet probes, insides of which can be inspected. Even real R-7 is in hangar. You can ask some questions, if you have one
So cool!
How big is the inside? The US landers were quite cramped, but how about this one?
Nev I only have one request: bring us towards being a spacefaring species
@@highgrounder5238 Free space inside is quite small, smaller than in souz capsule
@@KrashWarface Considering the small size of the vehicle, were multi-day missions planned? Also, what were its scientific capabilities? Was it able to carry instruments to the surface and bring samples back?
“There’s gonna be a lot more videos in this series”
2 years later and I’m still waiting.....
the series canceled got...well...canceled.
@@GonkDroid0923 .
It got cancelled
LMAO
Ran out of funding and eventually cancelled
Me too
The soyuz lander is smart with the backup engines. And also Russia's idea with the extra lander on the moon. Nice one Russia
It would have been even better if russian government didn't split development of a moon rocket into three different projects. So while US corporations like boeing, douglas and north american were working together, soviet bureaus made N-1, UR-700 and R-56. And no one was completed. Stupid decision of competition and fragmentation around one very important project.
Imagine being someone working on the lander and never having a capable launch platform for it. Really sad.
What's not smart is having room for only one person!
That would be so scary!
@@world-traveler880 Well, not really that much scarier than flying into orbit solo, like in Vostok or Mercury. Remember, there was to be second cosmonaut on the mission, but staying in orbit with the Soyuz spacecraft, like CM pilot did in Apollo. So it's not "alone for the whole misson", just Alone during landing.
very smart approach !!! We are the crazy guys risking all to just ONE engine !! I always wondered myself what would happen if that engine fails ...!!
Russian LK 1:13
Delta III 5:25

Now that's how you get a comment pinned! 👍🙌
Thx
@@EverydayAstronaut Thanks Tim, I was kinda... Woow.!. I like your content, the effort & research. Glad to do my part..😎
@@engrsmukhtar you misspelled Delta though.
@@zockertwins. Thanks, corrected
Speaking of secret space stations, i think it would be really cool if you would make one of these episodes all about the abandoned stations or concept stations nobody ever really hears about.
Yea
Yes
Like Mir 2
I was so confused when you said "My new cancelled series" like for 5 seconds
"Can you imagine being the only person, standing on the face of the moon?"
That sounds like my idea of a perfect trip.
Yes
elon: can i borrow a rocket?
Russia: no
elon : builds his own rocket.
This is why we love Elon
Kevin Simmons yes
and now is about to get humans to mars and has the most powerful rockets on earth
Power move

It would have been great if near the end of the Apollo moon program, the US invited the USSR to have a cosmonaut fly to the moon on the last Apollo mission .....
Someone say artemis?!
@Nothing
*did somebody say Khrushchev*?!
🤷♂️🙅♂️🤷♂️🙅♂️🎚🎵🎛🎵⌨🎵🇷🇺🇷🇺
@@imagineaworld Russia will probably not participate :(. They still have mindest of big and powerfull state witch deserves its own space/lunar program, but they don't give enough money in it
The redundancy and backup of the LK-1 earned my respect.
Especially after reading the chilling speech that was made in the case of the US astronauts being stranded on the moon.
never happened, they all came back. He said it could have happened but didn't. Like the Russians could have gone the moon, but they didn't! They blew up their big rocket to get there so no matter how good their lunar landing craft was, it was made moot and irrelevant by the fact it could not get there. Get it?
@@ronschlorff7089 Just because worse case scenario didn't happen doesn't excuse a 0 backup system.
The landing craft is a separate technology from the launch system and is thus judge separately.
As an engineer I respect such choices.
But I guess that's not of your concern , to you all that matters is national bragging rights and politics.
Something that's evident from the sodium levels in your comment.
@@fl00fydragon It's also called History! And we have reason to "brag", because we accomplished it when no one else has! And as American taxpayers, we paid for all of it with our own cash to fund NASA!! So we have reason to be proud that we "bought and paid for" the moon landings! Non-capitalist countries don't understand that; we provide the funds for EVERYTHING in our country, from paving the tiniest road, to going to space.. Nothing can happen without it.
@@ronschlorff7089 lol whoa why are acting like such a snowflake?!
@@kavian9620 we are the opposites of snowflakes. This guy and others are wetting themselves over the great Russian moon vehicle that never went anywhere, and I'm only defending the accomplishments of my country. Is that even allowed? Snowflakes don't like the winners and losers distinction. But in this "race" we Americans clearly won, and then did it several more times. Soviets are not entitled to a "participation trophy", sorry!
The LK lunar lander was basically just the ascent stage. It used a blok d upper stage (the same one that is used with the proton rocket to this day) for orbit insertion of the L-1 spacecraft. After the cosmonaut did a spacewalk to the LK lander, it would detach from the bottom of the service module on the Soyuz-LOK. Then the almost all of the spacecrafts velocity would be shed from the blok d, before ejecting it to crash on the surface of the moon. From there the LK lander would fire it's engines and remove the last bit of velocity before landing. The rest of the mission was quite similar to Apollo. It used the lower portion of the spacecraft as a launch pad and went into orbit before preforming a rendezvous with the Soyuz-LOK. It would then dock (which could be done only once), the cosmonaut would spacewalk to the Soyuz-LOK and then it would ditch the lander and use the service module to leave lunar orbit.
Nice, you got it up! Thanks for making these; there's more stuff been cancelled than built
Tim, thank you for spotlighting the Saturn. The State of Alabama and MSFC are currently in the process of cleaning and refurbing the SV vertical that is in rocket park, and the Davidson Center for Space Exploration hosts many events under the horizontal DTV. The goal is to have the Vertical SV cleaned and shined for the 50 year anniversary of Apollo 11. You might want to look into coming down to Huntsville for the event! If you do, I know you would be welcomed with open arms to the Rocket City!!! (also, right down the road is where the ULA Delta 4 Booster plant [Red Hat Road Facility] is, which is also where the CST 100 Starliner is being built...)
Oh, yeah... Huntsville is also the home of Homer Hickam...
I've spent 7 space camp sessions over 4 years my favorite place to go to! Nothing says "Welcome to Space Camp" like that Saturn V
@@AlexKennett Even though i grew up in Decatur, I never got the chance to go to SC... it is one of my greatest childhood regrets
hard to believe it's been 50 years! We've done great stuff in deep space but nothing to compare to the moon landings. Probably another 50 years for a "renaissance" in space to begin again!
Love your channel. Your pure childlike enthusiasm is infectious.
Loving this series Tim. My New Years resolution was to support my favourite youtubers so I became a patreon and bought your album. Keep up the great work!
Woah thank you!!!! That means a lot!!! 🙏
Everyday Astronaut thank you for being so inspiring & humble. My 3 kids love to watch you too. You are a fantastic source of information. Also shout out for OLF which I have been listening to since EP1! Hoping to get my 1st real Tesla this year (have a Merc B250e which is a Tesla under it), and I keep having those “couldn’t they just” ideas just like all the other couch science enthusiasts!
14:35 - Falcon 5 was considered for a brief time.
If you continue this series, you should include the space shuttle type program that would have launched from VAFB but cancelled after the Challenger incident
Yes! I've been looking forward to this!
Awesome Tim! You and your "Team" keep on expanding my mind...Just finding some of that footage is,..well,..bloody hard! Keep it up mate
I got your F1 engine schematics shirt for Christmas and I love it so much
I actually have a little plastic model of one. Can't find a figure of a man small enough to stand beside it! LOL :D
That’s actually so cool, where did you get it?
@@moesgymmom I think he said from this guy posting this vid!
Tim, you inspire me man! Greatings from your fans in Belgium! Keep up your fantastic work ! #patreon
Amazing video Tim!!!
Really well researched and put together video. Thank you Tim and team
Graphics work quite well done. Like seeing the progression. Keep up the good work!
Tim, your opening statement said it all. I have been watching NASA (read government controlled) for forty years, and it is so frustrating to hear about the cool stuff they are doing
and then not doing. They spin their wheels until you lose faith.
Upvoting the random libertarian comment. *salutes
I've seen the whole NASA program from Kennedy to now. We may never have another Kennedy, but all those others had their problems/distractions in the world that interfered with NASA and other budgets: Here's a summary: LBJ: Viet Nam; Nixon: Impeachment: Ford: so short not much happened; Carter: Iran Hostages: Reagan: Various things, including getting shot, but launched Shuttle; Bush: Gulf War, recession: Clinton: continued Shuttle, launched ISS, but Monica and his impeachment; Bush: 9/11, more wars, but continued shuttle and ISS; Obama, continued ISS, cancelled shuttle, some deep space projects launched (actually all presidents had many robotic planetary probe successes via NASA); Trump: too early to tell, but seems to like Private industry competition with some support from NASA. So who knows, who knows. Each president has been both helped and hampered by Congress; which may be, likely is, the real key to EVERYTHING in space from now on!!! So, come'on Nancy!! LOL!!
I should have given more credit to both LBJ and Nixon in retrospect, we did have continuation of Gemini, and Apollo, including many trips to the moon under their administrations.
@@JayVal90 the irony being that the S-V would have never been built in a private setting.
@@ronschlorff7089 Obama cancelled the Constellation program, covered in part 1, not the shuttle. The shuttle program was initially cancelled in 2003, under Bush, after the Columbia accident, but allowed to run on until 2011 for ISS construction flights only. Later one more Hubble flight was allowed. Bush proposed Constellation to replace the shuttle as a return to the moon. Cancelling Constellation was opposed by congress so they resurrected the Ares V heavy lift element of the program as SLS and the Orion capsule. The current focus on fixed price contracts with new space companies came from NASA internally, not from politicians. There is a great video by NASA senior scientist Daniel Rasky that explains how the COTS, CRS and CCDev programs that have enabled SpaceX and other private new space companies grew out of the failure of the X33 project.
ua-cam.com/video/g3gzwMJWa5w/v-deo.html
NASA effectively set out to generate a new set of contractors based on fixed price contracts rather than the cost plus model that Boeing, Lockheed et al are milking on projects like the SLS.
3:16 they also had solid rocket motors that would push the lander into the ground to keep it stable.
Thanks, Tim! As usual great interesting video. Wonderful job!
Can't get enough of these videos! Would love to see a video/video-series about engines only as sometimes I get confused with the names and variants. Also I just want more content from TIm!
Elon Musk: Hey can i buy a rocket?
Russia: Uhhh how about no
Elon Musk: You're going to regret this
Russian: Go home Elon, you're drunk.
Elon Musk: *_Roasts Russia big-time by building his own rocket_*
Elon proceds to make a rocket that will make usa non reliant to Russia
Elon: **Makes SpaceX like a Boss**
Russia and US: :o :o
Elon proceeds further to develop starship which puts Russia out of business and makes Russia regret their decision to make fun of Elon
Now
Russia: Hey can we buy a rocket?
Elon: Remember last time we had this conversation?
Russia:.......crap
I can attest to the magnificent specimen of a Saturn V at KSC. Just saw it in person for the first time last September. Can't wait to go back and take my kids. Long trek out there from Idaho! Didn't realize it was an actual flight ready vehicle tho. Thanks for the education, Tim!
Incredibly interesting, thank you!!! Love this series!!
Great series, loved it and looking forward to hearing some juicy facts on X-33, the so-so-close and lovely space shuttle successor...
Your video animations are looking better and better every time! Can't wait to hear your take (post-info dump from Elon) on the Starship Hopper! Those Russian spacecraft always look alien to us Westerners...
Wait, what? Was this on Twitter? I guess I missed it
western spies
It is better. Though.

After that outro...I guess I'm just lucky... born in Huntsville, with extended family still there. My grandfather being the primary reason for this, as he was a technical writer for NASA during the space race....and now I live in San Clemente California and watch SpaceX launches from my roof. Ahhh the nurd life ;)
-Jake
nerd is correctly spelled n e r d. Nurd is too close to the word TURD LOL.
If only Vandenberg had more launches am I right
@@aspirerl4807 I recall those as a kid growing up in L.A. like one or two per month, lite up the sky with a weird light show. Mostly they were military rockets of the newest ICBM's; that they tested, to someday be launched at Russia!
Sounds awesome!
Tim, you are really hitting them out of the park! I love your videos and the way you present your material. I learn a lot from your videos about things I did not even know I wanted to know! You are not a bad musician either! 🎹🎧🎹
Yippie! I am exited to watch E2, I hope it is as well put together as the first!
The explosions of the N1 where kinda intentional. People often forget that the USSR had a completely different way to test their rockets and the engines. Instead of building complex Teststands, doing a lot of computer simulations or place mockups in a windtunnel. They just screwed an engine to a Tank or build an entire rocket and let it fly, waited to the expected explosion and fixed what caused (based on telemetry data) the explosion than tried again and so on.
For the N1 they actually planned 12 launches(/explosions) (without any crew) before ever going to the moon or even to orbit. They kinda wanted the failures.
The spectator at the first N1 launch where actually surprised that the rocket even got off the pad in the first place.
This also not actually that stupid to do back than computer simulations took much much longer an windtunnel can't simulate everything and building a Teststand which can withstand such a force is also not an easy task.
There is actually a great documentary which is partially about the N1 More about the (certainly superior) Engines of the N1 but still. It's called
The Engines That Came In From The Cold - And how The NK-33/RD-180 Came To The USA.
USSR/Russian rocket technology is way more interesting than American imao.
That is an interesting perspective. It is basically the exact same idea behind spacexs starship testing.
Tim we love you!!
Nice I love your videos Tim...the way you explain these rockets make it easier to understand...you also help me keep up with space launches...my uncle has seen some of your videos and he asks no questions...(he always asks questions)thanks Tim👍
awesome vids man, keep up the great work !
0:30 If this sounds familiar to you, maybe you're from the UK...
(RIP Black Arrow, Blue Streak, TSR2, etc.)
Edit: just noticed the picture of black arrow on the first episode thumbnail. Maybe I should watch that first
I think you should add an annotation that Sergei Korolev died in 1966 due to medical reasons instead of just (lost) "as well as their lead engineer". It struck me as kind of vague when I first heard it and doesn't reflect the impact that his death had on the program. Other than that, great video, Keep it up!
awesome stuff, this is a fascinating series!
I'm sure the amount of research and video editing that you do is very time consuming.
Keep up with the 'all aspects' of space travel. I'm sure your channel will be a benchmark and a reference to anyone who wants information about getting into space will be invaluable.
You're laid back calm presentation and nice simple explanations - with the actual video footage - is priceless.
Well done!
Soon SLS and LOP-G will be on this list, which will free up a lot of resources for more efficient hardware.
You think they'll actually finish building SLS?
The Orion may end up on the list if SLS gets cancelled.
That implies that the LOP-G will ever have hardware built for it...
(You're absolutely right about the SLS, though.)
playgrrrr that’s what they said with the shuttle
No. This presentation made clear that our admission into the Star Trek future is indefinitely delayed. OTOH, you think resources will ever be freely shared? Continually stolen is where we're @.
Be still, my beating heart.
Is this video series cancelled too?
I love these space history videos, I look forward to future episodes
Thank you that you always show the objects in realation and in the correct scale that is really cool.
Where is your shiny starship video? I'm waiting and excited 😁
Still in speculation / news land. Waiting until I definitely have a good video for it. Meanwhile Scott Manley is staying on top of it really close.
Scott Manley is more on top of space news. Everyday Astronaut is for the nice ever-green stuff.
I miss Vintage Space :'(
This list is soon to include SLS
Yeah, must be really strange working on that rocket.
Hope so. That project is nothing more than a corporate job fueled boondoggle wasting NASAs time & money which could be spent on better more worth while projects like finally launching James Webb for example.
That's not true. This list is for hardware that actually flew
Muad'dib2288 Lol that’s true. At the most, I see the SLS being flown once. It’s just too expensive and the concept of it being non reusable is outdated (I love that I can say that).
HO LAM YIU Yeah I agree. I wish NASA would focus on a reusable super heavy vehicle instead.
Great content! Thanks for your hard work!
Tim, love your channel and narration. If I wasn't broke I'd happily fund your efforts as I grew-up watching all the NASA launches, et cetera during the 60's and early 70's and thereafter too. Love your ability to speak to some of the awesome engineering that made it all possible. Thanks!
9:25
Sneaky audio cut ;)
I thought this series was cancelled...
Hi and Hello.
I gather people for a good cause:
I wanna provide people with Links leading to bad or toxic people.
Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i
need help with reporting them.
UA-cam is in a bad state and i think you heard of that.
Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan.
But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice
and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something?
So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use. Yeah, unorthodox, i
know, but whatever. Its my Try to help.
I know this was random and also overly summarized, but
think about it and consider. You can make a difference.
I tried to explain it as good as possible, but the Wiki will tell and show
you more, i guess.
Any plans on doing more of this series. Really enjoying it. Thanks Tim
A new video from you automatically makes my day
When you cancel the cancelled series
another "saturn v" , the incredible Nova ,was 9 f1 engines in the first stage, 5 m1 engines in the second stage and one m1 engine in the third stage(the m1 was a f1 optimised for vacuum,whit 10,000 kilonewtons of power) and huge service module that also was the lander.
For part 3😃😃😃.
8 cause C-8
That was designed when they still thought they were going to do a "Direct Ascent" profile for the mission - you needed all that rocket to get the fuel necessary for landing, launching, and returning to Earth onto the Moon. But Nova and the larger Saturn concepts (C-8, C-9, etc) never got to the hardware stage, which is what this video is all about.
Caught up with Our Ludicrous Future and listened to your album a few times today, great stuff by the way, cant wait for your future "Lunar Orbit Rendezvous" (maybe?) album hehe. Just watched this and Joe's video on ULA Atlas etc. Big fan of you guys and also of Scott Manley, please try to get him on O.L.F a few times if possible! Either way, this is great work you fellas are doing :)
Hi I love your videos they have truly been a part in inspiring me to pursue a career in aerospace engineering keep up the good work 😄🤓
What happened to Todayish in spaceflight history?
What about the Apollo Applications Program?
Like the Sky Lab types to send to Mars? That would have been glorious, being in 70's.
Moon base, manned flyby of Venus (using a "wet" S-IVB as a habitat)
Well done my man. Some good work.
Great series Tim!
8:46 More Likely A Makarov Bullet.
Yeah
2:22 Actually, the Apollo LM could carry 0 cosmonauts and 2 astronauts, lmao
When I was in college, I took a creative writing class (naively thinking that I'd be learning how to write a novel) and one of the assignments was to write a poem. I picked the Saturn V as the subject of mine. I know that it's not the best poem, but I feel that it fits with your last choice in this part. Hope you enjoy.
Saturn
Roaring like a beast most feral
Thundering like a coming storm’s herald
Fire and brimstone spew from many a maw
And all there is left to do is stand in awe
An inferno consumes its earthly shackles
As ice and smoke flow off its hackles
It sheds the earthly bonds and mortal coil
As is they are nothing more than mere foil
The heavens tremble and yield a breach
As speed builds and puts them in reach
This once was true, but nevermore
As lesser beasts blast this shore
It lays on the ground
Never making another sound
Deep slumber the beast does take
But there are those who hope it will awake
Another GREAT and educational Video Tim, I'm much older than you but you have definitely enhanced my love of the cosmos along with meeting the love of my life who just happens to be in the Aerospace (Small SAT) industry. So I thank you Tim
The Sovjet lunar Module look's so creepy
in the movie apollo 18
Bet theres one on the moon.
@@errlshmirl3130 we don't know but some scientist think that one sovjet lunar module has crasht on the moon (with an astronaut insite) so they don't give it out to the public because it could see like they have made a failure

Really exceptional, Tim.
Great video, as always!
Very well done and super interesting video :)
Awesome job Tim. Almost cried first time I saw the Saturn V. Took my 7 year old son who loves your channel as well. Keep up the good work!
You should have seen all the moon launches live on TV. Glad I did; talk about your white knuckle and bursting at the seams with pride weeks!!
That must have been incredible. I’m hoping I can watch us take our first steps on Mars.
@@nesteacool918 I'm sure you will. Was funny then, watching a random TV show and suddenly they broke in and said: "We interrupt this program for an important announcement", then they'd go instantly to some space spectacular from the Cape on live feed with about a minute or two to go on the countdown. Some times it would freak you out to hear those " sudden interruptions", cuz this was the time of the nuclear arms race to!!! LOL. The "big deal" space events were scheduled in advance however, so you could be sure to tune in for the moon landing, or the deployment of the lunar "buggies"! Those were awesome!
Yess, been waiting ages for this!
Great video Tim! Really enjoyed it, as always.
Btw I think the Saturn V wasn't really cancelled, but rather retired, since it fulfilled it's purpose and clearly left development. Still a very sad story, since it ment the loss of a lot of great missions and ideas. For the next episode (I hope there'll be one), you could maybe talk about the NERVA Programm, which nearly flew.
Have a nice day everyone!
I had lost my passion for all things in life until you inadvertently gave it back. Thank you :)
I saw that on the way home from Yosemite! I was going to try to figure out what it was but you said it on this. I love your videos!
I drive through santa ana frequently and have always wondered about the rocket next to the 5. Very cool to finally learn what it is!
Thanks for that great explanation of the soviet's moon lander. I had seen the N-1 before, but I never knew the details of what they were planning to launch on it!
17:30 Wow, that has to be my favourite ever visualisation of the scale of the Saturn V!
I can only imagine the awe the crowds must've felt to see one of those launch!
Walk alongside it for a minute or two? I spent over 30 minutes walking along it, admiring it... and crying like a baby. Beautiful, just beautiful. Just amazing.
This series needs a part 3!
Best YT channel ever. Thanks Tim!
Just, your intro jingle always gives me chills
Thanks Tim another great video. You should make a video about Wernher Von Braun plan for a mars colony, very interesting topic.
Great Series! One thing though can you put the song menus that pop up in in the order you say them. That would make it perfect. Planning a trip to KSC also for the launch of Dragon demo 2 your guide video is a great help btw.
Seeing the Saturn V at KSC was SOOOO worth it. They were working on a couple modules when I went to prepare for Apollo 50, but it was one of the best things I've seen.
Very cool Tim. Thanks.
I have a tie in to two of the rockets you talk about. I worked on Delta III. While I was at the cape for the 1st Delta III launch I went to see the Saturn V. One of the guys I was with had actually worked on the Saturn V. He pointed out the hardware he designed on the display vehicle. It was cool to be standing there while one of my colleagues was describing the hardware, the design process and pointing it out.
Later that evening we went to the Delta III launch and our hopes and dreams went up in smoke as the vehicle came apart.
I like your channel. I would actually be able to see the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy from my house if some buildings and trees weren't in my way.
I've been there a few times of course and have seen at least half a dozen launches. But the knowledge of all things space that your channel has given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of it. And I look forward to my next visit to Kennedy Space Center.
