The upload rate is crazy given the quality of your videos dude - don't forget to take some hard earned breaks if you need them! We'll all keep comin back :)
pairs well with “this new ocean: a history of project mercury” which I just so happen to be 2/3rds of the way through reading, a veritable banger as always!
I love these space related videos. I usually watch Astrum and Sea. But you videos that goes mord into details on Nasa mission are just gold. I wish you will stick to space genre. Only critic, talk much slower sometimes. Youre voice is great!!
Live retro rockets meant that they were fueled and fireable. In a balistic flight you dont need retro rockets, the "brakes" to reduce the ships speed to below orbital velocity, the trajectory and/or velocity just has it fall back to earth. They can be used to alter the trajectory, again, not needed if the roll pattern was done right, but the big question was can we start these things in "zero G"? The narrator mentioned they'd be fired in space, therefore testing this essential step. They wanted Glen back after a certain amount of orbits, not....eventuality. 😋 Edit..i unpaused to see that there was indeed a problem with the roll pattern, and here, if still there a retro burn could have corrected it, so they ended up with an unexpected flight path with Sir Isaac Newton in the drivers seat. But, Ham still came back, because the trajectory did not allow the ship to orbit, even though the altitude was plenty. They didnt mebtion velocity. Get the ship to 17.5k mph and following the curve of the earth you get orbit, going straight up or at a sharp angle it just coasts to a stop and falls back.
Hey, as an astrophysics student who listens to your content at work, I love the hard work and research you put into your videos. I have recommended your channel to a couple of my astronomy/aerospace friends.
27:42 ... Probably the most Florida suggestion possible. Haha. Incredible work on this documentary! You should be extremely proud of your efforts. Hope to see many more to come. Cheers, from Australia. There was a point early on where you say "resources from all over the country" whilst the picture shows an image with the word "Africa". It's too easily forgotten that the US Space Program was very much an international effort. There were two Australian tracking stations during Mercury, three during Gemini and two during Apollo, and presently, four antennas as part of the DSN. The Commonwealth Government even co-contributed funding with the United States. Australian science actually suffered after Apollo ended, and then a hugely popular socialist government with a particular dedication to universal free university (including Commonwealth scholarships in the sciences and education), scientific research and the advancement of technology was controversially (and arguably, illegally) sacked by the Governor General in 1975. Though, some extant scientific organisations were established during that government.
We needed a program that could ensure safe recovery of the astronauts and their equipment. After observing the Soviets mistakes, it was decided our program would also ensure the safety of the astronauts and their equipment. Jk jk lol.
I remember the movie "The Right Stuff" imply very heavily that Gus paniced and hit the panel eject early. Havent heard about the bodily damage till now.
My biggest beef with that movie is that it portrays Gus as a bit of a bumbling idiot, and that just wasn't the case. If NASA really believed he had panic-ejected, he wouldn't have held such a high place for future flights.
I love your long form videos so much!
Reminds me of @homemadedocumentaries
Still best space channel for deep lore
Up there with homemade documentaries

To be fair this is just a compilation of old content, I didn't work very hard on it 😁 but certainly noted! The next one will take a fair bit of time.
I love your voice. It’s very warm and you speak with a nice cadence and rhythm. Perfect for when I want to watch something while I drift off to sleep.
Thank you! 😃
Perfect just what I needed. It's Been a while since I watched all of the Project Mercury videos.
As the kids say these days: This guy don't miss!
Love your videos!!!!!
I know it isn’t the point of this amazing episode but the X-15 program is worthy of a deep dive too
First view woohoo
Another fab episode, smart and well spoken. Keep up the great work.
MERCURY=Get To Space
GEMINI=Move Around In Space
APOLLO= Daaa MOON
Shuttle= Work in space
"I'll just watch one short video to wind down before getting ready for bed..."
**the algorithm introducing me to your channel with this video**
Long live long form content
So what these guys went to space or somethin?
Yes.
If you say so@@DKiSAerospaceHistory
@@DKiSAerospaceHistory in all seriousness thanks for the upload buddy

Your marathon size videos are great. Learned a lot 👍
Hell yeah!
Now this is some good hurricane viewing!
WoopWoop!
Don't burn yourself out.
early club
is that shijima from shimeji simulation
Your production quality and upload rate are incredible! You should definitely do a similar series or a long video on Project Gemini

Immediately sharing, your excellent work doesn't get near enough recognition.
Thanks for compiling these all together. Made it easier for me to watch while working.
The beginning 😂 that's how all 1950s announcers sounded 🤣
Another banger from one of the best Long form space channel
Wow, so epic! Thank you, DKiS!
I’m back with the algorithm comment
Your documentaries are top notch!

Wow, thanks!
Man, did you even sleep?
🤩🤩😱😱😱👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is a great channel.
Thank you!
Are you going to be doing a series on the Gemini program?
Either a series or a large singular video, yes.

Man! I appreciate all the work you put in these! Came along way from them Flat Earth debates! Thank you for this great series!
Criminal that this gets 5k views in a day and other content creators filling a swimming pool with orbeez would get 5M
These videos are great. Always learn something new.
More people should watch.
Just rewatched the whole thing! 😄
I love your videos!
It cant be easy being a tankie who would lie about everything. When there are so much information to the contrary to their beliefs.
I always wonder who ate the other half of that orange, the chimp got after his wild ride.
Even though I knew how it would end, your narration kept me tuned in to the story. Great work.
thank you for another amazing video!!
An apple and half an orange?
Friggn cheapskates! lol
You are a service to humanity. Thank you.

This shit rocks 🔥
Grissom did it
Grissom didn't do it.
