-38°C is exactly -36.4°F and -38°F is about -38.888°C It’s all the same cold. Of course -40°F is exactly -40°C too. Interesting, I didn’t know that mercury freezes just above that at 37.89°F or 38.83°C. Alcohol thermometers are just cheaper and safer, didn’t know they work at lower temperatures too.

"Shipka" (rosehip in bulgarian) is the name of a peak of the Balkan mountain, defended from storming ottoman army by bulgarian resistance in August of 1877 during Russian-Turkish war long after munitions and even boulders have finished so that they have to throw bodies of dead friends down the turkish soldiers just so to allow advancing russian armed forces to cross south of the mountain via nearby pass. That granit monument pictured on the cigarettes' package is actually the tomb of those resistance soldiers on top of this very mountain peak. By the time of that space flight "Shipka" was indeed the cheapest (in whole Warsaw pact, I guess) bulgarian brand of cigarettes produced mainly by orders from Soviet Union.
@@SimonShaws They were two-way - no filter or cardboard mouthpiece. If you are at least 50, you may remember two-way Camel, but they were 80mm or king-size and Shipka and some other old-time bulgarian cheapies were shorter. They were made from discarded at initial quality chek oriental tobaco. You may have tested russian "Belomorcanal" or "Kazbek" with cardboard mouthpeace - they were worse than similar format french "Gitanes" - bulgarian s~it at least was made from oriental tobacos which is aromatic and suitable for smoking just after natural drying and fermentation. In Bulgaria there was another brand that was all of the same and of the same price but made by diferent factory - filterless "Arda" which wasn't exported. At that time they both cost BGN 0.35 - roughly $0.29. There were two even cheaper brands (also not exported) of the same format - "Dunaff" (Danube river) and "Yantra" (another river in Bulgaria) which cost BGN 0.25. Also of that short two-way format there were "Slantse" (Sun), made of premium lite tobaco and packeted in square cardboard case that opened from the wide flat side - it was BGN 0.45. After 1989 "Slantse" first lost its stylish casing second its premium tobaco and later on all of the socialism time cheapies were discontinued.

For anyone interested: similar things happened to Soyuz TMA 10 and Soyuz TMA 11 returning from ISS. The first one was hushed, but the second one had a NASA astronaut on board
There have only been 13 orbital spaceflights that only had one crew member from takeoff to landing. These 12 were comprised of 6 crewed Vostok flights, 4 orbital Mercury flights, 2 Soyuz flights and 1 Shenzhou (Chinese). Besides Soyuz 4 and 5, there there was a point in 8 Apollo missions that two of the astronauts boarded the Lunar Module and undocked, leaving only one astronaut inside the Apollo capsule.
I was actually just thinking of this flight about a day or two ago. I heard/read the story a few years back. I always think about what it would be like looking forward and seeing the seal on fire. I would be crapping myself big time. Thanks for visuals Scott.
" THIS IS ONE HELL OF A STORY AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU TELL IT WITH SUCH ENTHUSIASM! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! ....ALSO GOTTA SAY IM BINGE WATCHING " THE SCOTT MANLEY SHOW"
When you watch "Chernobly" you realise why is there soo few fatality in Engineering, because they are scared shit; eg: "the lava will bore thru groundwater and initiate a 50km radius Hydrogen explosion, we need your permission to sacrifice our men"".
Wow. It's quite remarkable that the soyuz capsule managed to land after all this turmoil. How is this survivable but foam crushing on the STS is a death sentence?
Are you seriously unaware of the amount of force involved in those foam strikes? There are videos on this channel about it. Bottom line is the Shuttle was an extremely large, capable, and complex design with a lot more variables. The Soyuz is an extremely basic bit of 1950's engineering. Being about as complicated as a wood-burning stove allowed them to survive these sorts of failures. Comparing a simple little capsule to what amounts to a gigantic flying utility vehicle with 100 times the capability is pretty silly.
@@RealityIsTheNow So STS was over-engineered and at the same time more susceptible to things going the wrong way? Money well spent NASA. Money well spent...

Although C is a better temperature scale than F, it does not magically predict 4 additional decimal places after the conversion. Let's just call it "About 39" please.

It would be "soyuz Soyuzov", "union of Unions"
or "soyuz dvukh Soyuzov", "union of two Unions"
The word Soyuz is also used as first letter in USSR.
Dude those Kerbal visuals were on point. Good stuff!
Am I the only one who doesn’t even bother to read the title of new videos by Scott Manley and instead justs immediately clicks on it?
wow this video is a gem! Thank you for sharing this story
Everyone now "doing space" is standing on the shoulders of giants.
Doug Bader Precisely !
or else climbing up giant beanstalks
Congratulations for your millionth subscriber scott! No one deserves it more :)
Soyuz are amazing spacecraft.
Scott, you are a master story teller. Nice Job!
You did it wrong, there is supposed to be an Apollo command module where the orbital segment is and the Kerbals ride back inside the service module!
I prefer my way.
?
@@joeyknight8272 Scott had a Twitter rant about Bright Side's video on this mission yesterday and all the errors that video had... it's pretty funny.
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION!!
Fantastic story!
Not only that but this also puts him as one of the last solo spaceflights a feat that probably won't be repeated without exceptional need
There have only been 13 orbital spaceflights that only had one crew member from takeoff to landing. These 12 were comprised of 6 crewed Vostok flights, 4 orbital Mercury flights, 2 Soyuz flights and 1 Shenzhou (Chinese).
Besides Soyuz 4 and 5, there there was a point in 8 Apollo missions that two of the astronauts boarded the Lunar Module and undocked, leaving only one astronaut inside the Apollo capsule.
Kerbals have much more termal durbality as i see
Kerballs on eva can sustain up to 400°C from reentry heating (totaliy not tested by trowing a kerbal out of the pod)
Until they spontaneously spaghettify from falling off a ladder.
Lovecraft ... That might happen on Earth in a few decades, ahah
Lovecraft ...Let me see that surf board first :p
Ohugg. That is the most intense story ever Scott. I gota catch my breath.
Hi Scott, what book is that you're reading/showing on screen at 10:40?
Didn’t notice you’ve got 1,000,000 subscribers Scott! Congrats!
Thanks for sharing. Another steely eyed rocket man
Thanks for that - very interesting, and a fine tribute to a brave man.
4:50 -38 F is -38.9 in Celsius.
I was actually just thinking of this flight about a day or two ago. I heard/read the story a few years back. I always think about what it would be like looking forward and seeing the seal on fire. I would be crapping myself big time. Thanks for visuals Scott.
Vladimir: hey Aleksei, i'm bored.
Aleksei: what can i do to help you.
Vladimir: can you give me the news of today.
Aleksei: Hold my Vodka
" THIS IS ONE HELL OF A STORY AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU TELL IT WITH SUCH ENTHUSIASM! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
....ALSO GOTTA SAY IM BINGE WATCHING " THE SCOTT MANLEY SHOW"
Did he click a pen rapidly during the descent, and then upon landing, declare "I am invincible!"
Thumbs up if u remember 90's bond films
No that's impossible, everyone knows the soviet had pencils in space, duh !
Nope he drew the module with cartoonish parachutes.
@@tomf3150 Ah yes, Memphis Belle.
@@MrSam1er wax ones, to be exact
What an absolute beast of a man.
It's actually amazing how few fatalities there have been in all of spaceflight. I just hope Elon Musk knows what he's doing.
sulijoo | Known fatalities, that is...
@@miroslavmilan That's true.
@@sulijoo If we add fatalities between the ground crew, it would escale up - even without things as ghost cosmonauts.
When you watch "Chernobly" you realise why is there soo few fatality in Engineering, because they are scared shit; eg: "the lava will bore thru groundwater and initiate a 50km radius Hydrogen explosion, we need your permission to sacrifice our men"".
xponen_ In “Chernobyl” almost nothing common with reality. Scientific fiction poorly based on true story.
wow this had me on the edge of my seat haha, great job as always!
Much better than BS's video XD
I was 17 and living in Orlando was very much into our space program but I had never heard of this. Incredible mission. There should be a movie!
Wow. It's quite remarkable that the soyuz capsule managed to land after all this turmoil. How is this survivable but foam crushing on the STS is a death sentence?
Are you seriously unaware of the amount of force involved in those foam strikes? There are videos on this channel about it. Bottom line is the Shuttle was an extremely large, capable, and complex design with a lot more variables. The Soyuz is an extremely basic bit of 1950's engineering. Being about as complicated as a wood-burning stove allowed them to survive these sorts of failures. Comparing a simple little capsule to what amounts to a gigantic flying utility vehicle with 100 times the capability is pretty silly.
@@RealityIsTheNow So STS was over-engineered and at the same time more susceptible to things going the wrong way? Money well spent NASA. Money well spent...
@@RealityIsTheNow Don't celebrate flawed design. Learn from it.
@@johnzach2057 Of course it was. When you want more capability, you need more complexity. This is pretty basic.
Wow what an adventure. Makes me think of Gemini 8. Thank you Mr Manley.
Minus 40 c and minus 40 f are exactly the same!
Thank you. Excellent presentation of history.
Say, what was the mod used for the Soyuz in KSP?
Tantares.
I know what Tantares looks like. Tantares does not look like that.
Maybe RN_Soyuz? Or, Whatever That Realistic Soviet Spacecraft Mod Was Named.. I Forgot..
Excellent video, sir. Thank you.
Soviet Space Program: KSP IRL.
Real heroes are few and far between.....this is one of them. Respect.
-40C = -40F
Hey Scott, gratz on reaching 1M subs !!!
Привет из Советского Союза! )
I am from Bulgaria and the "Shipka" cigarettes are made in Bulgaria. The best cigarettes that we were exporting at the time were "BT" stands for "Bulgarian Tobacco"
Wonder if Vladimir Shatalot when this happened...?
Unfortunately, during EVA the toilet was in the orbit module which was depressurized.
@@scottmanley I wonther though, isn't a depressurized toilet much better for Shatalot procedure than pressurized one?
This is much more coherent than the version of this story you shredded yesterday on your twitter, though I still liked the smurf-sized cosmonauts crawling through the nonexistent hatch.
"it doesn't matter if that's degrees or Celsius or Fahrenheit that's damn cold"
-38F = -38.8889C
It really doesn't matter
Although C is a better temperature scale than F, it does not magically predict 4 additional decimal places after the conversion. Let's just call it "About 39" please.
Ksp totally makes the best space documentaries
Scott, you keep saying "vosKOT".. It's "vosTOK".. 😉
Voskhod en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voskhod_(spacecraft)
Perhaps he thought it is called "Voscott". Bad luck my friend, bad luck.
Не стыдно позориться-то?
@@Cruiserczcz😁😉
@@scottmanley maybe I am missing something, but Voshod 3(spacecraft) was a military flight... And all other, but the first Voshod spacecraft were a 2 man missions..
Great story, well told. Thanks Scott!
Please, stop saying "centigrade", the temperature scale is called Celsius. Centigrade only means that the scale is based on one hundred degrees divisions, thus, the Kelvin scale (and others) qualify as centigrade scales.
cen·ti·grade /ˈsen(t)əˌɡrād/
adjective
another term for Celsius.
Congrats to 1E06 subscribers Scott!
Is my hair gray now?
Lithostheory I bet !
Outstanding narration what an educational and thrilling / frightening journey.. amazing! 🙏🏻
