    On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth, piloting the spacecraft Friendship 7. This archival film from NASA captures the exhilarating moments before from Cape Canaveral and the dramatic rocket launch, with views inside the capsule, in mission control, and from the New Frontier of outer space. Hear the famous words uttered just seconds before launch by Scott Carpenter, Glenn's backup astronaut for the mission, "Godspeed, John Glenn."

    I had the honor of meeting NeilArmstrong at a party years ago. I stuttered all over myself, lol. What do you say to such an icon? “Were you scared?” was my totally moronic question. He smiled and said “I was terrified the whole way!” Hahaha….John Glenn paved the way for the rest of our space heroes.

    • @KCarver
      @KCarver 7 років тому

      Well I'm aware of NASA using colour correction and the like, but may I suggest to you, that you need to really take a hard look at something Humanity's developed called Science.

    • @KCarver
      @KCarver 7 років тому

      Mr Robinson, I appreciate the concern, and I've already looked into it and before Hammurabi to the Akkadian Empire and Sumer. It's all highly interesting stuff, and while I do think there are cabals out there, the thought of one supreme shadowy organisation controlling everything is the stuff of fiction and bored minds. I implore you to pick up and read one of Lawrence Krauss's books. I've gone over the flat Earth theory and I'm afraid it just doesn't hold water, no pun intended.

    • @KCarver
      @KCarver 7 років тому

      Mr Robinson, why would you ever believe something that "Satan Worshipping Freemason" tells you? Your purported experience with them may be true, but again that does not add any validity to the claim that the Earth is flat. Not to be disrespectful, but I'd argue that your own research on the subject was minimal at best and biased at worst. The codex Magica is an insult to the word codex and it's author, Texe Marr is a man of questionable character, driven, I'd say, by greed and bigotry. You are right though, that our knowledge of the world is limited, but maybe, one day, scientists will come up with a ToE.

    The horizon does not curve. Horizon always stays at eye-level and is always straight. Gyroscopes and artificial horizons are based on this simple fact. The earth is flat and stationary. Pilots use long range navigational systems called NDBs, VORs, and ADFs. These navigational systems are land based; not in space. As a pilot, I have never found myself chasing the runway. The runway is stationary. Food for thought. Bon apathy.

      The study of fluids. Air and water are two different mediums, but both are treated as fluids, in thermodynamics and physics in general. Just as in water, objects will rise or fall in air, according to the laws of density and buoyancy and archimedes principle.
      Perhaps your brainwashing is too far gone for you to even remember the simple fact that gravity is still a theory. Which makes you a gravity theorist. Add to that an evolution and big bang theorist, and a relativist.
