      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.

    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.

    • @DKiSAerospaceHistory
      @DKiSAerospaceHistory  День тому

      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.
