Side note: As you explained the moon is tidally locked to the earth, which not only means that the same side of the moon is always facing earth, but also that the earth viewed from the moon's surface is always in the same position in the sky, so you only get to see a rising earth if you're in orbit around the moon but not if you're on its surface.

Admittedly of all the astronaut autographs you have the paper plate is probably the most aerodynamic.

I was so happy to hear Brady describe John Young with the phrase I always use about him: The astronaut's astronaut. Worked for Nasa until the last day of 2004 - 32 years after he walked on the moon - and then apparently kept his office and turned up to work unpaid for years after that.

Stephen Fry: "How many moons does the Earth have?" Alan Davies: "One. It's called THE Moon!"

This is greatness! I have a set of Apollo 11 photos from the original negatives. They were given to my Grandpa by a friend who worked at NASA in Houston.

John Young was the only Apollo Astronaut to have walked on the moon AND orbited the moon alone. Apollos 16 and 10. I love that fact about him. That's truly an impressive collection, Brady!

I got Jim Lovell's signature on a beat up old dorm poster of the "up goer five" when we happened to meet him at a restaurant. It's one of my most prized possessions.

Not just previous astronauts but ones currently in space! Stephen Bowen is the Commander of SpaceX Crew-6 which just arrived to the ISS 6 days before this video published, and Bob Cabana is currently the Associate Administrator of NASA.

As a space nerd, I'm very jealous of your collection. Thanks for sharing!

It's great getting to see your enthusiasms Brady! :) Almost forgot to mention: I really appreciate the topic as I was able to watch the landing on our black and white tv, then run outside and look up at the moon.

Brady! There is still time to call de video Moonmorabilia!

Brady's the poster child for humanity.

It's criminal that Brady doesn't have an autograph from Cdr. Chris Hadfield.

It was through Objectivity that I first learned about Public Broadcasting Service and "The Race for Space," which renewed my interest in the Apollo program. It's nice to see the man behind it geek out for a bit.

*bit of a long term space geek here...my dad was on the prime launch crew at NASA during the Saturn V launches...i might have only been three years old at the time but i remember watching the launches on tv then running outside and seeing the rockets going up from the front lawn of our house in Coco Beach Florida...and then later staying up late to watch the Viking 2 Mars landing which was also very exciting...so yeah i can fully understand and appreciate your very valid obsession*

Harrison Schmitt was famous for singing while he was working on the moon, together with Eugene Cernan

My wife and I are building an experimental airplane and Col. Borman was gracious enough to come take a look at our progress, and also sign a piece of it that will be an art piece in our home.

moon of the week 𝅘𝅥𝅮

Seeing the crater on the moon, one can see how perilous life on the planet is!!!

"Robert Cabana?" aka Bob Cabana, current NASA associate administrator, former director of KSC and chief of the astronaut office lol

This brought back some happy memories of my late grandfather, who was an engineer at NASA from Gemini all the way through to the early days of the ISS. I got a bunch of cool Apollo and NASA things after he passed, like old patches from the missions he supported and an engineering manual for the Saturn V with schematics and such.

Remember the '90s band Hum and their album "You''d prefer an Astronaut"? Me either.

An absolutely excellent collection of memorabilia, Brady. My memorabilia is mostly limited to memories. I remember watching the TV coverage of the Apollo 17 crew bouncing around that huge boulder; but not from the angle Gene Cernan took that photo. I remember Dave Scott proving Galileo was right. And, I even remember watching Neil Armstrong climb down the ladder and take his famous first step (I was nine at the time).

it's funny to have watched you grow from a young and slightly immature young film studies graduate, to having an office fit for a true rennaisance man. thanks for all your work over the years brady. you even learned a bit of science along the way!

We had such a moon globe in the geography room of my gymnasium. Not Russian, but about the same size, and with a blank part on the far side.

Hard not to become quite sentimental watching this.

I think we should objectively search through more of your stuff.

Very cool to see your collection for a change! Love the astronaut stuff.

Thank you so much Brady. You have an awesome collection sir! All your efforts are really appreciated.

Beautiful

Thanks for sharing

And now there is people collecting Brady signatures. Like the original brown Numberphile paper you sell signed.

Brady, your collection is out of this world! (Sorry.)

Maybe I shouldn’t say this since I know you have too many channels already Brady, but man would I love a channel dedicated to Brady just talking about Apollo missions

I'm also a bit of a nerd for the Apollo missions, and am incredibly jealous of your collection. That's a lot of history in those photos. I know that there have been a lot of ISS astronauts that you might not be familiar with, but as a Canadian, I definitely think you should add Chris Hadfield to your collection. In the humble opinion of me and my fellow Canadians, not only is he one of the most well-known of the ISS astronauts, but he is definitely the coolest!!

Awesome!

you should do a collab with Curious Marc. He works on a lot of really cool apollo equipment.

You should compare notes with Amy Shira Tietel who is an Apollo historian and KZfaqr. Her channel is called The Vintage Space

Chuck Yeager, the exception to the saying that there are no old brave pilots, he became 97.

Apollo 13 is still the best space movie.

It's amazing we accomplished a journey to the moon and as a species while there we chose to play. Laughter and joy on the surface of another world spread by us. Everyone knows about the famous words and serious stuff not much of them messing around. Good show. Got a sub outta me. ❤🚀

Not bad at all Brady. A regular museum!

quite a collection!

Great episode! I’d like to see more of your office.

The Neil Armstrong photo looks to be him speaking at his alma mater, Purdue University. (Trivia fact: both the first man and the last one to date, Eugene Cernan, are Purdue alumni.)

I've just been listening to the old episode of HI where you claimed to have caches of autographed pictures all over the country

We need to get Brady up to the ISS and then he can sign his own paper plate.

@0:27 "map of the moon as it was known at that point" Took me a couple times to realize he didn't mean we call "the moon" something different now 😛

Nice collection. I only have Buzz Aldrin's autograph.

Chuck Yeager - First man to go supersonic *and survive

Amazing you have your own great collection of curiosa. Awesome Brady! Have you ever thought about opening your own museum, with some of the interesting objects you've come across?

fun fact, the paper plate is just a nice moon model :D . thanks for sharing tho as always take care!

Ed Gibson (Skylab 3) was my boss for a few years in the early 2000's.

Brady you must do a video with Curious Marc! Please please PLEASE!

I think the only really really famous astronaut your missing at this point is John Glenn. Maybe the wife and Destin will be able to source one for you again.

I could probably get Barbara Morgan to sign a photo for you.

when Brady goes into space, he can signed his own autograph, or course you will need to get the Mission Commanders autograph, Dr Martin Polyakov and Pilot Keith Moore

Is the Nail and Gear gone from the mantelpiece in the background? Hope it still got a special place ;P

The last object is not a paper plate. It is a Moon crater model.

Hey Brady you did an episode several years back on H. G. Well's trying to get into the Fellowship. In that episode you showed a book of candidates that wasnt allowed to be shown until 2021 which was 6 years in the future of the making of that video. Well we should be able to now see it. Any chance you can open that book now?

What was made, invented, observed, notated, or donated to the royal society this day ____ 2023?

I love seeing those helium balloon Rockets gently floating away with the gentle smoke cloud gently billowing under it

I don't have a neil armstrong autograph but I have seen his underwear at his museum

You have to be obsessive if you want to collect astronaut autographs. They aren't the sort of thing you stumble across at the grocery store.

0:26 Is it no longer known as the moon? Did I miss the memo?

I'm merobiba

Chuck Yeager could not have been an astronaut. He was a fantastic pilot but he didn't have a college degree.

I still don't believe man ever set foot on Mars or whatever it's called. Planetoid ?
