I'm still stuck at "I graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering". lol. I'm super impressed 👏🏿

Damn really? That's scary. Another proof they're trying to dumb everyone down.

Hi, I know you posted this a while ago but I am about to begin my degree for space studies with focus of Aerospace Science and since they’re somewhat similar (obviously yours probably much harder) just wondering if you have any tips to do well. I’ve been doing some prep by watching videos like this since I know my first two courses are Intro to Orbital Mechanics and then followed by rocket propulsion

@@Chronicl3x you'll do great. It'll probably be hard but you clearly seem to have an interest in the field and passion for the knowledge will be the biggest asset you have to make graduating easier. The coursework I went through was pretty hard and there were LOTS of classes. What made it bearable is that I was genuinely interested in what I was learning. If you go into the classes really trying to genuinely understand the material, it will be MUCH easier than if you go into the classes just trying to get the grade you're looking for. If you find that the coursework isn't as cool as you thought, there's no shame in switching majors / degrees. Most of the coursework builds on earlier coursework so if you don't like the early stuff you probably won't like the rest of it. And again, striving to have a great understanding of the early coursework will make the later coursework much easier. You got this :)

your life is a joke lol

@@jimwarden1121 what's ksp?

@@pa5730 A pc game named Kerbal Space Program (KSP) so fun game and a lot things to learn about astrophysics and rocketry...

But folks from NASA are present in the KSP community right?

@@seewhyaneyesee i guess so

Its the narrator! Its the narrator! I heard his voice in old elementary school reel 2 reel videos

yeah, they called him "dr Rendezvous"

He also has a pretty mean left hook. :D

He also was a fighter pilot, so he had tons of experience with G forces and flying Single seat jet engine aircraft.

He was picked for Gemini

Brian McNulty nice dude!

Wait until you quit playing video games and try sex!

probably because back then they couldn't waste time on CGI so had to stay with same script Copernicus and Kepler used.

Because trends in the school system starting in the late '80s early '90s have created entire generations of humorless oversized children that respond to pizzaz rather than fully functioning adults interested in quality content. (The same reason for the push for ever more overbearing paternalistic gov., children want to be taken care of and don't have self ownership. Fed spending at the peak of the New Deal was 10% of GDP, mid '60s with cold war, interstate infrastructure, and Vietnam 16-17%, then creeping to 19% by late '90s and peaking at a full 25% in 2009-10, remains over 23% of GDP today. Source, actual federal budget records publicly available.)

Blame subjective thinking.. Ancient Aliens and Histories Mysteries, pay better i guess. This was designed for schooling though. NASA will still work with you on content, or point you in the right direction if you contact them. Keep your questions concise and direct to them, and you will get a good reply.

Um... some DO, actually.

Why the crappy modern crap? Because "getting views and maintaining engagement" competes with Chuck Lorre's cynical assessment that Americans, in general, are more-than-happy to leave 'the tough questions' to geeks like Sheldon Cooper & Co. (and there'd better be a laugh track to accentuate the barrage of predictable 'smack-down' barbs... If it doesn't shoot lasers or spin webs... "meh..."

trust me it's way easier to watch a tutorial

Yes, i know, but i do not care about being easy, i like to know what i am doing and how to do it.

+Pedro Mello honestly, I know orbital mechanics, and for ksp, there's not much more you need to learn, other than gravity assists and shit

Connor Weaver I see, but well, i am a control engineer, orbital mechanics is not my strongest point, but somethings i have learned had helped me in KSP, at least the theorical part.

+Pedro Mello yea if you want a good video on orbital mechanics kinda for beginners I'll link you to it

Tell that to the brain dead media........they are too stupid to know how stupid they are.

Awww, the days when Discovery Channel and NatGeo were real jewels with top notch programming; these days naked and afraid is all that matters.

I was in university when KZfaq _existed_ but wasn't what it is today (or when you commented). For a long time it was all just cat videos and bedroom covers (of songs - you couldn't find the real song)

you forget the repetitions of the same sequence over and over, and the god damn ads every 5 minutes.

The good 'ol days.

@@PAULLONDEN Sometimes when people are sponsored (by skillshare or whatever) they put the ads directly in the video itself. Ad blockers won't stop those.

*@Taricus* Understand what you mean.....but those ads weren't in this particular video.

I know. It's a sad state when so many people deny what was easily proven over 2000 years ago.

Those people have not learned the fundamental skill of listening.

They dont get any memos.. they make their own, in their head... and then watch "Ancient Aliens" en masse, so the "History Channel" complies.

It is aimed at Americans, so it has to start with the basics...

@@brian_mcnulty They listen, they just aren't followers. That account for about 13 to 15% of us but then these guys have another "feature" or two that lead them to decide this conclusion. I've spent far more time than I should have, trying to talk sense into these people and as far as I can tell, the legitimately mislead ones who really are looking for truth, have something like an inability to visualize things on large scales and in 3 dimensions, in third person. In other words, they don't seem to be able to image or imagine things outside of their immediately observable and very locale space. ...accurately, anyway. There's also an apparent desire to want to feel special, like they know something that most people don't, or something. I tried so hard, to explain to one guy, why he was doing the "lazer across water" experiment wrong and exactly where he was making his biggest mistake and his responses were, essentially "You, with you 'geometry' and your 'math'. lol I have a pair of eyes and I can see in front of my face!" I don't know if making an extensive video with animations & everything would have helped this guy. I lean towards "no".

Spoken like a true new yorker. I am glad it didnt waste time because I am going to have to watch it again. While I was processing some concepts (the area/time relationship, which had caught me off guard) the video was already addressing others.

I learned this thanks to a video game

Aldrin said they didn't go there 😂

@@jesus4400 No .. some tin foiled conspiracy lugnut ambushed him with questions out in public, accusing him of being part of a NASA deception. Buzz responded with a jab to the nose with his right fist and an uppercut to the jaw with his left to finish it. Had Buzz been younger at the time, his Iron Mike impersonation would of been more devastating. Still ... Lugnut looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone ..

So you actually think Buzz didnt know that? Geez.........

Err, I actually meant : ""So you actually think that the scientists involved didnt know that until Buzz came along?"

Good stuff, democratization of knowledge. Were you understanding it well? Some will, some won't, you know. It just depends, but we'd like to hear your story.

Just watching the video isn't going to change the shape of the earth Michael!

@@PeterPete yep it won't. But it would help people's pea brains to get a few cm bigger.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will convince Flat Earthers that the Earth is anything but flat.

@@JohnVanderbeck The flat earth society held a convention recently. In their promotional video preceding the convention they stated "It's easier to brainwash someone than it is to convince them that they've been brainwashed" Ironic, don't you think?

why dont you rip the audio and do it yourself?

what would be the benefit of it? its perfectly understandable. Some things can not be improved, or can be improved not enough to make a difference to us

they could update it with Kerbal Space Program footage for fun

Ahaha, do it with KSP. I'd try, but my shuttle landings would end with explosions

Their budgets are constantly being cut. Start a GoFundMe for NASA. Heck that isn't a bad idea over all.

I had an AppleII, but I didn't do that... Envious.

KSP 2 is getting better.

I learned so much from KSP during the first 2 days of playing lol

Kerbal Space Program uses keplerian orbits and orbital mechanics are more valid in KSP than in real life so yeah... Obviously.

Random Game Stuff TEH ORBITAL MECHANICS ARE TEH SAME as real life AND YOU KNOW IT, ask scott manley

dgs .astgh We use the same mathematics, but in real life orbital mechanics are more aproximate than in kerbal space program because in real life there are a lot more factors than orbital mechanics at play. Scott manley is not an astrophysicist.

Random Game Stuff you are just trying to be fancy, and YOU are not an astrophysicist.

Lol

Rob van Kemenade right here! :D

+Rob van Kemenade LMAO! And in case you were wondering about that STS landing, 230MPH = 102.819 m/s. Now go land some shuttles! Also check my channel to see my 1088-part ISS or KISS as I like to call it(in 64bit KSP 1.1 pre-release).

thank god...., i thought i was the only one suffering from this permanent brain damage due to ksp :D

The lengths I'll go to in order to get good at a computer game. I'm determined to learn to orbit Kerbin, it's just gonig to take some time.

It's a pretty widespread example nowadays

@@invisiblekincajou maybe

Yeah, it explains the basics that I already know from KSP, and nothing interesting

Haahahha

Your comment seems to imply that NASA is the authority on all things space. It's nonsense. NASA doesn't have any duty to "look beyond the Western astronomical history"; they aren't perpetuating any misconceptions. You are just as ignorant as a flat Earther who implies NASA is the originator of the globe Earth idea.

they did not empirically prove it, so it is not credible. to believe something and have it coincidentally right is just as delusional as to believe something and have it be wrong.

Less than 1% of the Earth uses non-metric measurements nowadays.

I got this Video recommended, after watching a buch of ksp tutorials. This was by far one the most helpfull Videos.

Yup, just watched an orbital maneuver video for more efficient use of Delta V.

me too

more mass --> more force, but also more inertia --> same acceleration.

@@jimswenson9991 If the force or gravity between 2 objects is dependant on their mass you can't say they accelerate toward each other independant of mass.

@@blackmancer This is because as the mass gets larger, the inertia also gets larger. Inertia is "holding back" the object, while the bigger mass, is trying to bring the object closer, faster. These 2 cancel each other out. Some will take offense, but his explanation was good

@@millicentsmallpenny5837 Sorry I am none the wiser from your explanation.

Yes, it's a tricky point you've noticed. Hopefully I can explain. In the general case, yes, objects with greater mass attract each other with greater force. Therefore, two Earth-mass objects a million miles apart will attract each other much faster than two car-mass objects a million miles apart. But the specific case of two objects with different mass falling at the same rate only holds when those two objects are *hugely less massive* than the object they're falling towards. If you have a one pound cannon ball and a two pound cannon ball and drop them at the same time from the same height, they appear to hit the ground at the same time. However, in reality, each cannon ball is attracting the Earth to it as well. Do the maths, and you'll find the two pound cannon ball will actually hit the ground before the one pound cannon ball. But the difference between the two is tiny, because the pull of the two pound cannon ball on the Earth is only minutely larger than the pull of the one pound cannon ball. I calculated that the two pound ball would fall something like 0.00000000000000000001% faster. So yes, it falls faster, but at these sorts of scales it simply isn't measurable, so it's rational to say two objects fall at the same rate. In a way it's like the experiment where a device drops a ball bearing while expelling a second ball bearing sideways, and the two ball bearings hit the ground at the same time. For all practical purposes, yes, they hit the ground at the same time, but in theory the ball bearing shot out sideways will take a microscopic amount of time longer to hit the ground because it has travelled part of the way around the Earth's curvature.

Yes.

You did it!!!

lol

>greatest scientific country >murrica >it'd be close Got a good hearty laugh out of me. A country where "creationism" debates are still a thing is supposed to be the pinnacle of science? That would be quite sad for humanity.

Jim Panse Some religious bunch actually won a court case and now some schools in the US do teach creationism as a science. . . . . Probably why the "New" NASA SLS is essentially a Saturn-VI

LukeRM It's not that big of a deal, and scientific progress is in this age is influenced predominantly by international efforts, with some countries affording to contribute more than others. As for the American mathematical and scientific communities, they use (and have long since used) the metric system for the most part, but often communicate to the public using the Imperial system because that is the system that most in the general American public are familiar with. Anyone who is comfortable with math or uses it on a regular basis already knows that the metric system is far easier and precise to use than the Imperial system. You don't have to be a resident of any particular nation or aligned to any particular political party to know that.

Jim Panse "Teaching" any aspect of religion, especially creationism, in any secular school system should be strictly outlawed. If a person wants to scare themselves into believing in deities, magic, and angels, that's their own personal business. It should be considered a crime for that sort of stupidity being introduced as curriculum in an educational institution.

Treetop64 That's the thing, it isn't like the two are pretty much equivalent and each side of the atlantic just choses one for cultural reasons, metric is fundamentally a better system. As an Engineering student studying in London whenever we have to unnecessarily expend the extra effort of using imperial units because of some regulations that were written in the US, I wonder why the hell cutting edge engineers don't all switch to metric and make their lives easier and their work more easily compatible with the rest of the world.

Yeah, pretty funny.. forced bullshitery. Similar how "Urban" dialects are being passed down.. where these people dont use possesive pronouns correctly or linking verbs, (i wont try to understand why sounding ignorant, or functionally retarded are solid social goals) So in the future.. all people will say "Is you has a dog?" and "You Auntie be okay?"

"evolution of language is retarded" "i wish everyone talked like a boomer" "i was born in the wrong generation" "my generation is stupid" "i'm in a sea of stupidity"

Good ol Carl

Ricky Bugatti​ Kerbal Space Program. A realistic space flight simulator. You make a rocket or a plane out of stock parts (you can add shit ton of other parts with mods), and fly your vessel to desired destination (moons, planets, asteroids etc), build space stations, colonies etc. All of it using realistic newtonian physics and orbital mechanics. You can make the game even harder with mods such as Real Solar System, Life support, real life parts. Also, exploding rockets into the ground and watching Kerbals freak out while they fly in all directions is pretty good stuff.

Thats one hell of a textbook though.. i kept mine.

Also, some NASA people learned orbital mechanics from it!

It wouldn't matter, they will just ignore it and crawl back into their echo-chamber of circle-jerking
