When German rocket scientists were being debriefed after the war, they were queried about their inspirations for the rocket systems they developed, they said they were inspired by the experiments of Robert Goddard, the very man whom our military geniuses ignored.

This is a great video blog on the spark that ignited the space race, as well as my interest in astronomy. I was five years old when my father told my brother and me he was going to get us up at 2 am to see the satellite. We were very excited then, but when 2 am came around, it was all we could do to stand up. But he dragged us out onto the quiet street where we lived in Lexington, Mass., where we saw all our neighbors milling about and murmuring to each other. The sky was the the clearest I had ever seen it, like diamonds on black velvet. Someone shouted "there it is"", and we all watched in rapt amazement as the little man-made star flew silently across the sky.

When Sputnik orbited people thought they saw it with the naked eye. However what they saw was the larger spent rocket stage behind it. Ham radio operators could hear the beep beep though. It was huge moment that raised eyebrows around the world. Interesting that the booster used for Sputnik was used for decades for all kinds of stuff (with upgrades of course.)
When Sputnik was launched I was literally just being conceived, but I grew up with sting of 'them' getting into space 1st. Wasn't till July of 1969 when some of us felt relieved.
Most interesting part.. "Cole's notes" have never heard that one but I have heard cliff notes many times.. being from WA state and awfully close to Canada I usually hear many Canadian terms but never that one.
Love the longer video 7-10 min of Vintage Space would be much better than 3-5 min! Also there is no plural for kilo gramms (no kg, just 1 kg also 660 kg) thanks for including metric measurements by the way!
Amy, research question: When the LEM was on the moon, did the nav ball orient to the surface of the moon? How did they transition from the initial inertial frame to the lunar frame so that the astronauts knew which way "down" was when they approached the moon?
Um, how? They would be in free fall, so it's not like they would have a "down" acceleration to use. Besides, if the nav ball was acceleration based, it would be wrong whenever the engine was firing.
Maybe you're misreading your own question. Apart navigation via stellar and gyroscopic polling, there was no gravitational orientation reference in orbit until the instant they dropped below orbital velocity. For all physics and perceptions "up and down" comes into play that moment. You're no longer orbital but ballistic. The crew, computer and accelerometers are smart enough to sense this and shift from a negative-g mindset. Stuff a pilot with an instrument rating as myself are drilled to know.
There is no dynamic difference between an orbit and a ballistic arc. Both are weightless. Neither have an "up or down" in a measurable sense. The fact that the radial rate to the moon is now changing is irrelevant, the reference frame (the ship) is accelerating at the same rate as the IMU. Accordingly, there is no force acting on the accelerometers to produce "up or down". There is still no gravitational reference when in free fall. Now, it may be that there is a mode change in the equipment that is triggered by the burn (or pilot action) that changes the behavior, but that is essentially the question. What triggers the change? It is impossible to tell whether you are in orbit or not based solely on an IMU.
Cool, Sputnik happened on my mom's birthday, she just turned 90! Hey Amy, rocking the BANGS! Love the hair color too. Ever think of going totally purple A La the UFO girls on Moon Base? LOL Have a great day!
Always love your videos! Maybe you could do a bit on the Canadian contribution to Vintage Space. I know a few key engineers from the cancelled AVRO Arrow project in 1959 were recruited by NASA to work on Apollo. I'm sure there are other interesting Canadian bits hidden in the annals of history.

Well done. I remember it well. As an 11 year old I went outside at night to watch Sputnik fly overhead, following the timing given in the newspaper. As for it being frightening, I was frightened by the cold war and nuclear weapons, but not Sputnik. I remembered it was Oct 4 before you said it. I wrote a school report, mainly taken from the papers

I was five years old and remember having neighbors and people from all over our small rural Kansas town come over so I could point out the third stage, which was all that was visible to the naked eye. I must have explained it a few dozen times that the satellite itself was too small to see even in reflected light although a few people with binoculars claimed they could see a very small speck some distance in front of the third stage.

Nice presentation, Amy! My Dad had all of us kids watching the night sky and we spotted Sputnik. I remember Dad being in total Awe upon seeing it as a tiny dot in the sky and hoping that the US would launch Telstar, pronto. We did launch Telstar shortly thereafter and although Sputnik was first in space, Telstar it had LOTS more capability than the Ruskie satellite.
Amy. we know about mission control, Chris Kraft, Gene Kranz, Steve Bales, Glyn Lunney, and all rhe other heroes, but what about The Soviet equivalent? I've never seen anything about a Soviet mission control and would really love to know more!
I heard that when the Americans first walked on the moon that the TV transition was being sent to the parks dish in NSW (The movie "The Dish") but have heard recently that it not true that the signal was being sent to a much smaller dish in Canberra. Is that true??
Off-topic. Are you ever going to do a program talking about the UFO sightings to the astronauts have had. And the actual footage that has captured different things flying across the camera that were on explained? Please please please and thank you!
I really want you to do some videos about China's vintage space progress. They were the third Country after USA and USSR to maintain a serious space program.
Hi vintage space, your channel helps to learn many things about space, which I wondered before. Still one question is bugging me, how did both american and Soviet human spacecrafts used same concepts? I mean like multi-stage rockets, solar panels on Skylab and Mir for power, re-entry capsules, heatshields on them, even i didn't find much difference in space suit design approach. Seems like despite being rivals, all these things had common roots. Were the design engineers sneaking the design details of their counterparts, or it was just a co-incidence? Would you please provide some information about that?
As mentioned (briefly) in this video, both programs were based on the same science, and were initially developed by the same people. After that, spying on each other was common practice. Since rocket development was also military development, both countries were keen to watch for any and all developments of the other side.

It was testing R-7 as a ballistic missile at the time. Actually they could launch Sputnik, because they had problems with the missile warhead, which had insufficient heat protection. The warhead should be reconstructed, and Korolev's team got one free rocket without a payload.
Amy - please note, FYI, that "Korolev" is actually pronounced "Koro-liev," with emphasis on the "e" in "iev." His name should definitely be pronounced correctly, since he was the great genius of Soviet rocketry. You may also want to note that most Russian words that end in "ev" or "ensk" should have that "iev" or "iensk" pronounced. For example, the city of Smolensk should be pronounced "Smoliensk," and so on.
Love the channel and I've got a question for you - Which astronauts were grounded on medical grounds that wouldn't have grounded them today? Did anyone miss out on space unnecessarily? (obvs example of Apollo 13 but who else?) Thx - keep up the great work ☺️
I was 3 years and 2 months old when Sputnik 1 went up. I remember Sputnik 2 going up because I was worried about how the dog would get down. At the time I think I remember Sputnik 1 but now I don't have any direct movement of it.
I can remember Sputnik but I was only 3 so it must have had a big impact on my imagination and may even be the first thing that I can properly remember. I probably never understood what it meant because I would think at that age space was too abstract for my little brain.

GREAT CHANNEL! Im learning so Much! So much that i open my big mouth! I recently had a Discussion with a coworker (a space travel naysayer) regarding the effects of Gamma Rays and space travel.

Unfortunately I really had no Counter for this (space Novice) So I'm Kinda looking for you're Expertise on this subject. Maybe you could tackle that question in a future Video.

I really enjoy your videos! You are an inspiration for my new career. One small critique though: your pronunciation of Russian names is good, but “Sputnik” is pronounced “SpOOtnik” not “SpUHtnik” (it means ‘one who travels with’) thanks again for your videos! To infinity and beyond!

Scott Mitchum explains it well. The 3rd stage of the rocket was large enough to be visible. By definition it will travel in roughly the same orbit as the satellite.
Benny Löfgren It may only be appearing in the app at the moment. Shows up for me in Australia. Haven't noticed it on the website version, though I may just not have seen it.
I actually wrote that on the app, from my iPad. But lo and behold, now that I'm sitting on my computer, with Chrome, I do see the sponsor button. :-) Maybe it just took some time to roll it out world-wide. I'm in Sweden btw.

Hey Amy! At 6:24 you said "SP-1 satellite" lol
Awesome video tho! I love learning from you about early Space Age history! Keep up the great work!
2:10
I'm guessing you meant either late 1800's or late 19'th century.
RRW. Early 1900s. 1903 if I recall for the 8000 m/s minimum orbital velocity.
Well she said late 1900's, which I'm pretty certain are considered to be well after 1957.
So... PlayStation got the name for their console from the Russian space program?
Late 1900s, which means 1906 to 1909.
Eli Malinsky good call sir
I really love to watch your videos: they're concise, to the point and well presented. Congratulations!
2:04 Late 1800s?
Great video! Keep up the good work.
was wondering the same!
Alaska Skidood Probably meant to say "late 19th century".
She clearly said: in the late NINETEEN hundered's, maybe she meant early 19s or late 18s
Late 1800s means late 19th century. Thats when Tsiolkovski did his work.
Steve Plegge thats the late 1800s. Never mind.
The best video on Sputnik. As a fellow cold war/1950s enthusiast, I enjoyed this one.
I was born a couple of days after the Sputnik was lauched !
Hey Christiaan, I was born 4 years to the day after sputnik was launched. Have a Happy B-day! :D
Happy Birthday, Herb!
that was fun. I didn't know about the development. only that it landed in Manitowoc WI. which is the town next to where I grew up. they have a plaque.

..."to get anything off the ground"... *sly smirk*-- I see what you did there Amy! ;)
How can we arrange a group visit to Baikonaur in Kazakhstan to watch a launch?
Amy, research question: When the LEM was on the moon, did the nav ball orient to the surface of the moon? How did they transition from the initial inertial frame to the lunar frame so that the astronauts knew which way "down" was when they approached the moon?
The very moment when the LEM dropped below de-orbit velocity the nav and guidance computers had their gravitational "up and down" reference.
Um, how? They would be in free fall, so it's not like they would have a "down" acceleration to use. Besides, if the nav ball was acceleration based, it would be wrong whenever the engine was firing.

You mean the 2nd stage with RD-108 that was visible as R-7 only had two stages.
My bad - I was apparently referencing an incorrect article. Thanks for the correction.

love the hair Amy!!! love the channel.
Can you do a book list? Your top ten favorite sci fi books.
Hi Amy what do you think is the best successor to the retired space shuttle (big mistake in my opinion)
Nice presentation, Amy! My Dad had all of us kids watching the night sky and we spotted Sputnik. I remember Dad being in total Awe upon seeing it as a tiny dot in the sky and hoping that the US would launch Telstar, pronto. We did launch Telstar shortly thereafter and although Sputnik was first in space, Telstar it had LOTS more capability than the Ruskie satellite.
Vanguard , when they actually got it to fly did get into space and it is still up there.
Amy. we know about mission control, Chris Kraft, Gene Kranz, Steve Bales, Glyn Lunney, and all rhe other heroes, but what about The Soviet equivalent? I've never seen anything about a Soviet mission control and would really love to know more!
Great vid. Awesome color.
Project Moonwatch was it's name - there is one youtube video I've found so far about the small telescopes they used. Just search Project Moonwatch.
How long did Sputnik stay in orbit?
I heard that when the Americans first walked on the moon that the TV transition was being sent to the parks dish in NSW (The movie "The Dish") but have heard recently that it not true that the signal was being sent to a much smaller dish in Canberra.
Is that true??
T.Ƨ yes ..check Curious droid
Off-topic. Are you ever going to do a program talking about the UFO sightings to the astronauts have had. And the actual footage that has captured different things flying across the camera that were on explained? Please please please and thank you!
I believe you meant to say "late 19th century" instead of "late 1900s" at 2:00-2:05
Where are all your Saturn V's Is Pete Playing with them?
"Spootnik", not "Spatnik". :P
It loosely translates as "Suck it, America!"
I always have heard it pronounced sPUTnik
It's just like Putin but only Sputnik:)
there seems to be a bumper crop of morons lately
Yeah as well as idiots being triggered by random names.
Was this the first and last time the soviets announced in advance that they would launch a rocket?
"Sputnik" - means a satelite :)
It's spelt "Sputnik' but its pronounced....throat wob....ahem 'Spootneek'
Kelly Jackson very close, but I think it is better to put original word "спутник" into google translate and listen pronounciation :)
Spootneek is how it sounds as expected certainly wasnt 'sphut-nick'
Kelly Jackson well for me as russian language carrier, "oo" and "ee" sounds too long, "hu" and "ic" are better ;)
'u' as in 'put', 'i' as in 'nick'
The Soviet / Russian space history has certainly many interesting tales to tell. Encouraging you to dig into them.
I really want you to do some videos about China's vintage space progress. They were the third Country after USA and USSR to maintain a serious space program.
Hi vintage space, your channel helps to learn many things about space, which I wondered before.
Still one question is bugging me, how did both american and Soviet human spacecrafts used same concepts? I mean like multi-stage rockets, solar panels on Skylab and Mir for power, re-entry capsules, heatshields on them, even i didn't find much difference in space suit design approach. Seems like despite being rivals, all these things had common roots. Were the design engineers sneaking the design details of their counterparts, or it was just a co-incidence? Would you please provide some information about that?
As mentioned (briefly) in this video, both programs were based on the same science, and were initially developed by the same people. After that, spying on each other was common practice. Since rocket development was also military development, both countries were keen to watch for any and all developments of the other side.

It was testing R-7 as a ballistic missile at the time. Actually they could launch Sputnik, because they had problems with the missile warhead, which had insufficient heat protection. The warhead should be reconstructed, and Korolev's team got one free rocket without a payload.
Amy - please note, FYI, that "Korolev" is actually pronounced "Koro-liev," with emphasis on the "e" in "iev." His name should definitely be pronounced correctly, since he was the great genius of Soviet rocketry. You may also want to note that most Russian words that end in "ev" or "ensk" should have that "iev" or "iensk" pronounced. For example, the city of Smolensk should be pronounced "Smoliensk," and so on.
A look at the rockstar image of the the Mercury 7 astronauts would be cool.
Love the channel and I've got a question for you - Which astronauts were grounded on medical grounds that wouldn't have grounded them today? Did anyone miss out on space unnecessarily? (obvs example of Apollo 13 but who else?) Thx - keep up the great work ☺️
Is Pete named after Pete conrad
"Speaking from an American perspective".. a fascinating phrase. As a Canadian, do you have a different perspective?
Love the bottle of champagne in background 😀
I was 3 years and 2 months old when Sputnik 1 went up. I remember Sputnik 2 going up because I was worried about how the dog would get down. At the time I think I remember Sputnik 1 but now I don't have any direct movement of it.
Don't talk about Laika, it makes me so sad! Jonathan Coulton did a song, Space Doggity that's on UA-cam, that is so beautifully sad.
2:00 "...late 1900s" should be "...late 1800s" or "late 19th century"
Bring on the HAM Astro-chimp! Please? Love your videos!!
I can remember Sputnik but I was only 3 so it must have had a big impact on my imagination and may even be the first thing that I can properly remember. I probably never understood what it meant because I would think at that age space was too abstract for my little brain.

@@ericwilson6994 What are you on?
@@colinp2238 We preempted you in 'July' You're all going to jail - but you got your wish - you'll be able to take Me in with a U.S. warrant granting Me immunity.... I'm going to bust this guys nose in.... no, it's called a debriefing, dummy. As for your question. Nothing. I'm a cop, dumb dumb.
late 1900s or late 1800s?
I remember running outside to look up...
Yay! You did another Sputnik video! I went looking for one yesterday morning and ended up looking at your 2012 one to get my "fix". Thanks for the new update for us who were around at the time...although I was only 6 months old at the time. :o)
2:04 "In the late 1900's" Do you mean in the early 1900's? The late 1800's? The late 19th century?
...or jut seeing if we're paying attention?
GREAT CHANNEL! Im learning so Much! So much that i open my big mouth! I recently had a Discussion with a coworker (a space travel naysayer) regarding the effects of Gamma Rays and space travel. His Argument Being that the suits worn would not protect them from gamma rays since gamma rays penetrate thru anything thus legitimizing that space travel is impossible. Unfortunately I really had no Counter for this (space Novice) So I'm Kinda looking for you're Expertise on this subject. Maybe you could tackle that question in a future Video. Keep up the great Vids! :)

I really enjoy your videos! You are an inspiration for my new career. One small critique though: your pronunciation of Russian names is good, but “Sputnik” is pronounced “SpOOtnik” not “SpUHtnik” (it means ‘one who travels with’) thanks again for your videos! To infinity and beyond!

2:03 " he did all the math in the late 1900s." I think you met the late 1800s or the late 19th century.
Our generation calls them "spark notes". Or rag notes?
I don't know if Sputnik I was large enough to be seen from the ground, but I remember (at age 3) watching Sputnik II orbiting.
bobobobinalong *It was too small to be seen once in orbit around Earth.*
Scott Mitchum explains it well. The 3rd stage of the rocket was large enough to be visible. By definition it will travel in roughly the same orbit as the satellite.
Did Nii4 have any employees who said "Nii!"?
Late 1900's, must have been a heluva long ago :)
Is it still in orbit? If not how long was it in orbit?
It orbited for three months.
hi amy ! 😁 im a new subscriber just thought id say hi. oh and you are very cute when you geek out lol
Do a episode on the Silver Snoopy award.
Can you make a video on Pete please?
I have never seen the sponsor button... is it only enabled for certain markets, or is there something wrong with my UA-cam account?
Benny Löfgren
It may only be appearing in the app at the moment. Shows up for me in Australia. Haven't noticed it on the website version, though I may just not have seen it.
I actually wrote that on the app, from my iPad. But lo and behold, now that I'm sitting on my computer, with Chrome, I do see the sponsor button. :-)
Maybe it just took some time to roll it out world-wide. I'm in Sweden btw.
