He started straining 5 YEARS before the actual space walk, crazy to see that right now hes out there in space, working on the ISS.

Victor Glover is currently doing a spacewalk on the iss when this video was posted

Suggestion for a video. That pool is supposed to be able to drain in like 30 seconds or something. If they ever test the emergency drain system it would be really cool to see!

He missed his opportunity to raise his thumb terminator style when going below the surface :/

Hi Destin, we love what you do. Keep it up!

2:32 is my favorite part, it makes a great reaction gif xD

never really want to dive into a pool but man, i want to with this one

My nose itches just watching this.

Love how Destin makes other's the focus of his vids and not himself like most youtubers.

Destin, do you realize that you released your video in direct competition with an actual live KZfaq broadcast from NASA of a spacewalk that is happening right now? What a choice - watch training in the neutral buoyancy pool, or watch the real thing live from space? :) :)

I weirdly find it hard to get my head around the fact that the spacesuit is waterproof. I know it can survive a vacuum, but when he’s getting lowered into the pool I feel like he must feel the water haha

Wow, good timing Destin!

Why'd you get your SCUBA certification? So I could send people to space.

I love these short "destin wants to go do a thing" type videos

I'm so excited for this new series! Looking forward to watching and rewatching your amazing work :)

he should make the thumbs up when diving like a Terminator :D

Destin...the access you get is insane. Keep this up!

I love how destin is interacting with all the workers and being super respectful and kind. You are a role model Destin.

Destin, you are an inspiration to many people including myself. The experiences that you are sharing and describing are incredible. 👍

I love it when you post stuff you are enthusiastic about, awesome!

How cool! Growing up I wanted to be an astronaut... so this brings old dreams back.

The astronaut definitely missed the opportunity to give a thumbs up like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator

I´m sure you know it but these are some very special channels you have here, Destin. Thank you!

I think that's a new record, Destin. This footage waited 6 years before being released. I think waiting until the astronaut was in space before releasing it was part of the reason, but I'm actually impressed to how just how much material you have!

Such perfect timing. Vic is my favorite astronaut and he helped finish the ISS battery swap today

Loving these NASA/Aerospace vids!!

2:30 are they practicing a terminator retake or what?

WOW what are the chances. like a few weeks ago i was wanting more information on this place and it was hard to find good content than you come post this. TYSM for your dedication to content like this, you make so many people happy

Awesome video, and superb that you get access to this for us!

Thankyou for your channel Destin

Best 5 min in for ever keep them coming

Mike Hopkins gave me a tour in 2015 or 2016 of this facility and the ISS mockup and now he's up in the ISS with this guy!

This is epic! It must've been awesome to see in person.

Thank you for showing us the coolest things in the world.

Hey Destin, thank you for visiting us at the NBL! Ike is a beast and I'm glad you got a chance to see him in training. Now we get to see him fly around the moon next year! come back and see what all we have developed in the pool!

Love that chapter of Job

Destin you’re turning into SmarterOnceAMonth.....I don’t mind your videos are my favorite and worth the wait!!

I’ve always dreamed about becoming an astronaut, this would be such an interesting experience. I’m glad you posted this!

Was lucky enough to intern there in 2009, Still love watching these videos. SAFER = Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue

Watching this after watching him do his first space walk. Amazing.

Love your videos Dustin!

What a cool episode 😊

I love that space stuff so much!

My mom used to work as a saftey diver for johnson engineering before she got pregnant, i love seeing your videos about nasa and stuff!

Nice peek into the daily grind of spacemen! Thanks, Destin

five years ago wow that's a long time to train for plus college education navy career etc

This is so freaking cool!!!

Wow, Awesome Destin!!! Have been seeing your videos since The chicken head video and as a fellow mechanical engineer, your videos give me pure joy!

Growing up my dream job was to be a safety diver at the NBL. Thanks for the vids!

The probability that they were practicing for the EVA that was being live-streamed is pretty high!

Dang I hate to be that guy, but it's about time!! I was excited for this video when it was announced with the Space Month thing you did a while back with Scott Kelly! Glad to finally see something about the pool!

That wave to the camera was perfect.

This here is some main channel content man!

Wow really nice video as always 👍 Awesome footage 👌 only sad thing, it's too short 🙄 Want more!😁

This is so cool. My first job after graduating from Iowa State, with a degree in civil engineering, was work for a big bridge contractor, here in Dallas, TX. 90% of what I did was structural engineering, designing formwork and shoring systems, critical beam lifts, etc. We put a bid in on excavating and building the giant swimming pool that became this lab. I remember working with our estimating department to develop work plans and formwork systems for the concrete placement. On a side note, at that time we did mot have any computers in our engineering department; everything was calced by hand and drawn on drafting tables. Things we can do now, in a matter of minutes, may have taken me a day of drawing shear and bending moment diagrams, running moment distributions, etc. on. 50 or 60 sheets of engineering paper! My HP 11C got so much use, some of the ink is worn off the buttons. So glad, though, that I earned my P.E. license in those days; I definitely learned a lot about problem solving.

I like it also when they do space walks. This is great to practice on that. More technologies the better and for mankind.

I would LOVE to dive in the NBL. The water is so clear; nothing like my home waters.

How does this channel not have more views

That's awesome!

One of the coolest youtubers im subscribed too

Hey Destin. You inspire me!

SO COOL

I just got on a student engineering project prototyping sample bag holders for the Artemis moon missions that will be tested at the NBL. I'm so excited!

Man I would LOVE to be a support diver at the lab! Great video as always.

That pool looks incredible how I would give anything just to look into it or explore it

Happy Monday!

Awesome 😀

I love your videos keep it up

Who can give this video a thumbs Down!? This is Awesome!💪🇺🇸

Awesome

I've wanted to try one of the simulations in this tank since I was a kid! Easily one of the coolest jungle gyms on earth!

I was watching Victor Glover doing a spacewalk today, Monday February 1st 2021

Thank you for sharing this, Destin! I imagine you just got a call and ran down with a camera. I love how humble you are and how flexible everyone there are. ALSO question, the little monitor you guys were watching at the end looked like a 10 yr old tv. How come they don't upgrade some of that stuff, to see better? ALSO ALSO, you ever imagine Samsung or someone would sponsor these guys with some better gear, like they sponsor KZfaqrs? :D Anyways, good night from Norway. Thanks again for these shorts and unedited videos! Wholesome :3

The tank at Boeing in Seal Beach Ca...is a cylinder andnits 50 across and 100 plus deep... scary deep..that facility makes scary star wars stuff.

nice and short vid but still awesome

Man I wish this video was 5x longer

If one day Destin were to write or make a video of his life it would be the greathest biography like imagine writing about all the cool stuff he has seen and all the cool stuff he has created just amazing

Cool stuff 👍🏻

We literally talked about Job (Hiob) in church last sunday. Nice!

You know you have a cool job if Destin shows up to your work.

That went swimmingly!

Wooohoooo More NASA!!

I know 3 people that work at the NBL. It’s definitely my dream job.

Always cool stuff! Looking for another topic? How's about Foo Fighter, Ball Lightning and St. Elmo's Fire? Thanks...

I like how he waves before he gets covered by water

Apparently my dad did plumbing work on this pool subcontracted by Boeing Air. He said that many parts where made at location too because of the high standards and in general everything was highly regulated. In his opinion, beyond necessity, such as painting the pvc to remove the lettering. This was about 1985

This guy did a space walk today!

astronauts have the coolest job OUT of the world

Astronauts are heroes and so is Destin :))

Can you please make a video on how space suit work

Big KZfaqrs need to have subtitles as soon as the video is published

0:23 the astronaut suit looks awesome.

video is fresh as, 4k not available yet

Hiiee Destin.. where are the remaining submarine videos. Love from india❤️❤️🙏🙏

pretty cool

Dude isn't that an awesome facility? Did they let you walk around at the base/sides of the pool? It's friggin' impressive. They also sew the capsule parachutes in the same facility. On the other blocked off end of the pool is recovery and helicopter dunk training. My wife and I got a personal tour during the brief time she was working onsite at JSC.

Oh hey I went there for a school trip once!

This channel name should be SmarterEveryOtherDay

that water looks ✨s o c l e a n✨ omg

very cool. SAFER is cool it's the modern MMU but compact.
