Best comment ever.

so neow body told you to abrpigherd Sntenas. YUR an ecpertt.

Nice comment. The SLS part had me dying

Noone would ever belive something like this. SLS ahead of schedule? Come on, man :D

@@Krzysztof_z_Bagien Couldn't have said it better myself👍🏻

A well thought out, intelligent and funny comment from someone who actually watched the show.

It would actually have been "for all mankind". Except in Russian, of course.

David Wührer of course not for all mankind, capitalists have to be eradicated! :) Soviets were always (officially) saying things like “for the workers of the world” and other such bullshit.

Tosik Lol, what a bullshit

@@noop9k have you watched the show? Because there is already a plotline developing around that. USA TV reported: "for the Marxist lennenist movement" Russian Astronaut: "it's the moon, like we said, it's for everyone."

@@davidwuhrer6704 lmao no way

That's one way to eliminate the "Minmus Bounce."

Could be tricky - see Hajile

Actually with the suspension on kerbal landing gear it would propably result in a bigger rebound or death by kracken

That's interesting. the fact that she was a pilot is most definitely not brought out in The Right Stuff, either the book or the movie. That would have been an interesting detail to have mentioned.

Odysseus Rex they made Right Stuff into a movie? Damn I should watch that

What's she's based on a real person? No wonder why I feel her character so real and unreal at the same time

@@minhducnguyen674 She was a real person. The only information I know of is in the book The Astronauts Wives Club.

It is very ridiculous

It's amazing they didn't try to find _more_ Nazis in that alternate history.

The real Von Braun also drove desegregation programs at NASA www.npr.org/2019/07/22/744023616/as-nasas-apollo-space-program-grew-alabama-was-pressured-to-desegregate

I haven't seen the show but was he pushed out because he was a former Nazi or just because he wasn't within the military being just a US citizen/civilian? I would assume the military would still be using civilian companies as contractors so he should still be able to design/work on space program items. I imagine he would still be pushing hard for his Mars mission.

this show is not shy about denigrating historical figures who did good things ... or at least just the straight white men, because it's ok these days to do that if not indeed applauded ....

Concur, there's a lot to like in the book. The drumbeat of 'what-about-Nazis?' and 'NASA was mean to women and minorities' is a bit tiresome.

Ever read the book star trek Federation? Totally different from first contact but still a decrnt read!

She might have inspired his name.

Watch the space for any scientists specialising in rocket technology with the name Cochran. 👀

People been using similar methods in videogames with vehicle construction to make wall/ceiling crawlers for a long time now, it's pretty cool But only viable with limitless fuel, of course, since you need consistent thrust over a long period of time to be able to move on these surfaces without falling off

Great documentary. Korolev was a visionary, and a ballsy one.

That's on Amazon too! Woot! Always been looking to watch this in decent quality. Last I saw it was on KZfaq at 480p.

Was it any good??.... BTW, love your channel Simply Space! Keep it up!!

Haha, did the same thing after last Scott's video about using the Space Shuttle for Moon Transfer. Really enjoyed the show also.

How many times has it exited? Duly noted, I'll pencil in an update about that.

@@scottmanley he's a bit slow on that news, 1 year ago yesterday it reached interstellar space.

@@RUNDNB85 No need to be condescending. "Science" news website are releasing articles about the subject. This person probably hasn't picked up the fact that it was only a confirmation over analysis of data from last year. I'm sure you never make any mistake...

@@markuop who said I was being condescending, simply pointing out his mistake and he obviously didn't read the article because it would state when we crossed into ism.

Why? It's a fictional adaptation of the true story and the phrase is the core plotline for the entire series. That movie, stole it from Neil Armstrong's speech. And he stole it from JFK.

Isn't it more like ko-rol-YOV? At least they taught us way back when that ë was supposed to be pronounced like that.

If you crazy bastards would use real letters, it wouldn't be a problem.

I just think it would sound weird if he did a more russian pronounciation as it would break his speech pattern. For example: If i speak english I never use the german pronounciation for words like Hamburg or Berlin as I find it weird and it causes me to make a kind of mental pause. What i am trying to say is: the way Scott pronounces Korolev and Leonev is much better suited for the english language than if he would stay true to the russian way. I do appreciate the info tho :)

@@linarionschonmar1572 it is disrespectful and ignorant not to try speak correct way.

@@linarionschonmar1572 Gut gesagt! :D to every language...its pronunciation!

I like it but the astronaut training is a joke. They shove people into dangerous vehicles without giving them any training. And the special effects are really bad sometimes.

What ifs are my jam.

@@bthsr7113 But what if they weren't?

You his Ensign? Who's in charge of engineering? Where is my Gundam?

@@linyenchin6773 Commander Manley is in charged of engineering via Kerbal Space Software. I'm the political officer (for both KGB and CIA) Any more questions and you'll become the first human satellite. Without life support.🔥🚀🛰⛄☄

@@caonabo2 I'm a Newtype = Spacenoid life is the life for me. You lot on the Earth, your souls are tied down by gravity, that's why you are constantly clashing where cooperation is the better option for mankind as a whole. *Giant Robot Lives Matter!!*

@@linyenchin6773 Ok, I'll talk to my guys, we will "suspend" your joyride. For now.

one of the most underrated movies of the 80s and the premise came around at the perfect time in my young childhood. The music is CRIMINALLY underrated oh and the Gunstar is similar to Babylon 5 Starfury in that they seem somewhat plausible designs

@@Snuckster2 I just loved seeing Robert Preston. He made anything he was in good.

I live in San Francisco which is 500 miles north of LA

might be from Oli Braun www.buzzspacemodels.com/

Cool.. I guess you're a guy in a yellow mask?

@@scottmanley yes sir theres a few episodes that I got to do some arrest and be apart of scenes with cool cg stuff but that's towards episode 5 and 6

When and where?

@@WolfTronix www.nise.us/conf-2019-free.html I found out about it through SpaceXcentrics recent video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9J6mMZexuDbY2Q.html

Just finished watching from the earth to the moon for the second time recently 👍

It's a fine show, but I don't need to keep rewatching the same thing.

@@scottmanley I may have to check this new show out after all : )

I'd rather read the book (J. Vernes) again.

Im so glad that finally made it onto Amazon.

*Because of the civil rights movement and racial unrest™ Nasa actually demanded from the late 60's onwards of it's facilities to employ a certain percentage of black people. Engineers, technicians, scientists and so on. And that ran into the same problem. Especially in the south. Von Braun who ran Marshall in Alabama had this problem. There simply weren't any. Because there were no (realistic) opportunities locally to get that education. And which black engineeer would move to 60's Alabama.... So Marshall missed that quota. Badly. Von Braun actually had several personal massive crashes with and spoke out very publicly against the (popular) racist, pro segregation anti- black education gouvernor of Alabama. It's fair to say they did not like each other. And without context you'd struggle to identify the former member of a extremely racist ideology. That went way beyond what was wise for Von Braun in the political game. There are a hell of a lot of levels more to Von Braun than just the Nazi thing. And obviously there was no segregation within the Marshal Space flight center and other NAsa facilities. Sources mainly Power to Explore: A History of Marshall Space Flight Center by Stephen P. Waring. And Into That Silent Sea: Trailblazers of the Space, for the first part. Which also deals extensively with the whole rather surreal Lovelace issue. And all the other Us AND soviet astro and cosmonauts. Although the focus becomes more the US thing. But also because there are MUCH better sources for that side.

@@5Andysalive Interesting! Von Braun's political views have always been a bit of a hot topic but I never heard about his political activism.

​@@jeffvader811 Not just political. It is very hard to find anybody who worked with him in the US or lived near him who has a bad word to say about him. He also did a lot for the local community. I think it's fair to say von Braun was a classical case of scientist/engineer who to achieve his goals and work on his favourite thing just did or ignored everything that came with it. Then again, when you take historical hindsight out when judging him and his actions, things get a lot more complicated. And that is the only way you ever should judge historical figures. He built weapons for a army during a war. He is part of a tragically large club with that. When he started working for the army to get more funding, that was years before the Nazis and the War. When he joined the Party to keep his career, as you do in a dictatorship, he didn't know what we know now... That was also before the war. Only when he later joined the SS for the same reason (they ran the rocket program now) he was probably aware of nasty things going on. That well connected, that smart, there is no way he wouldn't. And he was definitely aware of the horrible "working" condidtions in the SS run facilities that mass produced the V2 and he didn't speak out, tried to change things or left the program. That and only that is what you can blame him for, without hindsight. Or if you blame scientists for building weapons then please ALL of them. Korelev had pretty much the same career. Except for a nasty Gulag episode. Only the soviets took out what knowledge they could from their german rocket scientists and engineers and than sent them home. If they were lucky. Had their been a nuclear war, rockets these two (and others) build, would have killed millions. And both where smart enough to be fully aware of that. These rockets would have done so with hardware from other Scientists and Engineeers who didn't care. Like Teller and Oppenheimer. Who, despite their german-ish names, were american.

@@5Andysalive I'll have to pick up those books you mentioned at some point, they sound fascinating. As someone with German heritage myself I'm not as quick as perhaps others are to judge people based on their involvement with the Nazi party. At the time it was very much a risky move not to attend the Hitler Youth or accept positions in the party, most people played along just to keep a low profile and avoid prosecution. It's a complicated moral issue, wether or not valuing one's own head above others is excusable, but I image Von Braun realised that had he refused or objected he merely would've been replaced, so he might as well carry on, unless of course he didn't see an issue with it, of which I am not certain.

@@jeffvader811 They sure are. Obviously they are historical books not thrillers. :) But Trailblazers is written in a relatively entertaining form. Also interesting is Stages to Saturn By Roger e. Bilstein. Amazing how many details about the Saturn Rocket development, building and logistics i never thought about.

It's the Sea Dragon rocket concept: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Dragon_(rocket)

Yes; it's one hell of an awesome fireworks display!

it sure is!

I agree, beautiful rocket.

Crude looking but hot staging would have been amazing looking

God, no. It looks like a toy.

IIRC the original plan was to to land an unmanned LK first. Then they'd also land a modified Lunokhod to check out the unmanned lander, and make sure it was ok for use as a backup. Then they'd try and get the manned lander as close as possible to the backup, and if something went wrong in the landing (say, too many boulders on the landing site?), the cosmonaut would be driven to the backup lander on the back of the Lunokhod rover. All pretty Kerbal ;) Edit, I've just double checked, and they would have launched TWO Lunokhod's, one to check out the backup landing site before the LK-R landed, and one to check out the intended manned landing site.

@@phuzz00 That's kinda like the Mars Direct plan with the two ERVs.

@@phuzz00 It would have been an epic adventure had they actually made it far enough along to try their plan. Thanks for the additional details.

Gemini was a testing and training program for Apollo. It is where they perfected such things as docking the LM to the CM and doing spacewalks. Reusing more Gemini components in Apollo could have been a crunch option if some critical Apollo subproject failed to deliver, but the 1968 movie date suggest that the studio simply lacked ideas of actual Apollo design at the time of writing and filming.

Well, I'll say this, if the Apollo 1 fire had not happened, the first landing still would not have been before mid 1969 because the Lunar Module simply was not ready before then.

It's Apple, what do you expect?

Because its a woke fictional rewriting of history where they are pushing women in space, appropriation of every kind.

Kashatnic K they aren’t trying to rewrite history it’s literally just a tv show showing what an alternate history would’ve looked like if the soviets landed in the moon first.
