    What I find most fascinating about Hoot Gibson's career, was that he went on to fly B737s for Southwest! Can you imagine being a passenger - hell, even crew - on one of those flights?!? If I were a co-pilot, rostered to fly with him, I'd be thinking, "holy crap, I'm flying with a real-life, former frikkin' space shuttle commander!" Way to feel like the most inadequate co-pilot ever! 😆

    • @gchampi2
      @gchampi2 10 місяців тому +4

      Even more mindblowing, imagine how the captains that flew with Hoot as a first officer felt when he first joined SW. I'm guessing sometimes it was a "let's see if he's all that", and other times it was "oh cr@p, I better not screw up", but mostly I'd guess it'd be something along the lines of "must not turn into a babbling idiot" as they fight the urge to ask ALL the questions...

      Certain environments depending on microphone choice, room noise etc. , really demand headphones (especially when people are active and they move back and forth away from the mic). These 2 are very still, and consistently in a good mic proximity. a podcast like bad friends or something with comedians wriggling about bouncing around, unless you have a monitor mix from headphones, a 2 inch move can make you completely inaudible or VERY overpowering. Youll often hear Rogan in a podcast telling the guest to keep a fist distance from the mic if they arent wearing headphones, simply because they dont understand that

    The equation for the stagnation temperature is
    Ts = Ta × ( 1 + 0.2 × M² )
    Ta is the ambient temperature
    0.2 is ½( cp/cv - 1)
    gam = 1.4 = cp/cv = 1+ 2/ndof
    ndof number of degrees of freedom of the gas molecule, for 2-atomic gases ndof = 5

    @recoilrob324 10 місяців тому +1

    The recent interest in hypersonic aircraft always has me wondering if the engineers actually grasp what the Space Shuttle did and how it did it during reentry? It has materials that can withstand the heat...but is in fact a huge heat sink that gradually absorbs some and if exposed for too long would not have survived. Thinking that they can 'invent' an aircraft that can fly at hypersonic speeds for long periods ignores the fact that even if the materials won't be obliterated by the heat....the entire vehicle is going to be heating up the whole time which was one of the issues the SR-71's had to cope with and did successfully, but going a lot faster for the same time period is not likely to happen. I wish these new engineers could sit down with Mr. Gibson and have a chat...they'd be better for it.

      Shuttle could maintain communication during reentry using TDRS. My understanding is there's a "hole" in the plasma layer the Shuttle could communicate through. I'm not sure which mission Hoot was referring to - my best guess is STS-27 based on the time when TDRS was available.

      The Space Shuttle, LIKE Apollo, had fuel cells that made electricity (for the entire duration of the mission, for all controls ) from hydrogen and oxygen reacting. A space vehicle carries the necessary hydrogen and oxygen in canisters, which is also used in the rockets. So: liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, fuel cell -> electrical power for mission.
