so was Yuri Gagarin

He was going to be the first man on the moon had the Soviets beaten us. And if he were, I wouldn’t be upset.

Agreed! 300! I linked it to somebody who was asking why the crew of Shuttle Columbia couldn't bail out.

@@marcusalexander7088 Someone actualy asked that?

@@Koko-fb6lu Yeah. Funny ole world innit?

I think there was more than one person doing sfx design -- panel blowing off is a stock sound-effect. Seriously lets down how good the rest of it is.

The sound design in all the movie scenes I've seen so far are phenomenal!!!

They really nailed "sound of plasma." Not that there will ever be a physical way of putting a microphone outside a ship during reentry to pick it up.

yep, blasting this on a good amp with good bass, that makes it immersive.

A bit like First Man played with the sounds of the spacecraft vibrating and distorting by the external stresses. Completely destroys the illusion of safe hardware.

Shouldn't "Space Force" be in that list too? :-}

Ilyushin

@@ernestolombardo5811 I thought they just made aircraft? Did they get involved in astronautics?

@@coldcanuck6091 Vladimir Ilyushin was the Soviet equivalent to Chuck Yeager and there is a compelling rumor that he went to space BEFORE Gagarin, but hardware error made him crash land in China, so the Kremlin kept the entire flight under wraps. You know how these totalitarian regimes like their propaganda neat and clean and utterly plastic - everything always has to go perfectly from Day One in a perfect government.

@@ernestolombardo5811 Sounds exactly like the trump administration.

Plus or minus the locale you are landing at. #fuckingsiberia #didyoubringyourhandwarmer

Watch "For All Mankind" that phrase was mentioned in season 1 episode 1

That was not a landing, but what Navy pilots would call a "controlled crash".

Took the words right out of my mouth.

It is great but I think the reentry scene of Apollo 13 is better, but I still find this scene great

And the scariest one. The only thing comparable I can think of is the Gravity - Space debris strike scene.

That is so heartwarming. Leonov was a straight-up badass.

not supposed to, but it did happen, the controls on re-entry were an issue (especially early on), also, the Borscht (soup in a toothpaste like tube) scene is based on real life... I met the guy who made it once, he had a cottage in the-same Moscow retiree-officers dacha(summerhouse) complex that my grandfather did...

Not a normal re-entry. The retro rockets failed, so the capsule had to be turned 180 degrees to use the manual back-up rockets (put there by engineers who knew the reliability of Soviet manufacturing). Then the orbital module didn’t disconnect, so they had to let it burn off. Capsules from Vostok to Soyuz aerodynamically orient themselves for re-entry, so could still land safely.

@@JohnBayko a similar incident happened on Vostok 1, however the emergency retro rockets placed atop of the Voskhod was necessary due to the use of the A-2 (now Soyuz) rocket: Vostok used the slightly smaller A-1 (Vostok) rocket and the orbits were automatically designed to decay after 10 days, allowing for reentry in the event the retro rocket failed. American Mercury capsules had solid-fueled retro packs for the retrofire sequence as solid fuel motors were more reliable and both Gemini and Apollo had redundant reaction control thrusters that can be used to lower the perigee so that reentry can be achieved. Both the SpaceX Cargo and Crew Dragon capsules use their RCS thrusters to do the same, as the crew can have better control of the reentry burn as opposed to relying on a single Aerojet AJ-10 rocket motor, which despite using hypergolics, can be subject to breakdown and failure (as evident in several USAF Titan III launches that used the Transstage upper stage).

Just watch the movie

Many did not. Gagarin was an orthodox Christian who baptized his own daughters. Not very Soviet, eh? :) But, like you say, heroes all. On either side of the world.

Except for John Glenn

But they did like vodka

@gdi wolverine You know I really don't want to get into a pissing contest about it but the "We only got to the moon because Nazis" meme is so old and tired, and what's more it ignores the _fact_ that the Germans wouldn't have had _their_ rocketry program without the work of American Dr. Robert Goddard. Dr. Goddard perfected the liquid fueled rocket in 1926, almost 20 years before the Germans. I mean, I get it. But Goddard was the pioneer.

I doubt that. Americans, and especially American military personnel were and are usually deeply propagandized. Soviets, and especially Soviet military almost certainly the same.

Exactly. Dubbing is one of the dumbest things in movies. I mean it's good for the kids who can't read but subtitles should be favoured always.

It's unique for sure, very different design philosophy compared to the US spacecraft at that time

wolves did appear, but let the men from the sky take their way

Or Yankee imperialist running dog lackeys. 😝

They were equipped with Makarov standard service model in those times, but precisely after this experiende the Russians developed special gun for cosmonauts that would provide them better chance of surviving in wilderness for the case they would land elsewhere than planned.

The timing of the launch was during peak wolf mating season, so the weapons were necessary.

Yeah it was actually a legitimate worry, Russia has a fkton of Wolves (so much so that wolf mating season is an agricultural problem).

It is on A. prime free, and other sources, dubbed in more languages.

Yup.. never know what awaits you in Siberia.

The landing site was 75 km. from Perm (in the present-day Russian Perm Federal Region) in the Upper Kama Upland region of the Ural Mountains (59°34′N 55°28′E), putting them on the "dividing line" between the historic Great Russia and Siberia.

White Tiger is one of the best ww2 movies I've seen. They certainly know how to put together a good flick

they are unrealistic as hell but fun to watch lol

@@elliotsmith102 White tiger was an oddball I couldn't bear to watch. Other war dramas are top-notch though.

The original SOLARIS is definitely worth watching. I’ve only seen it once, on some cable channel.

I think that was a probe to sense contact with the ground whereupon a small rocket fires to cushion the landing. That said, the spacecraft would presumably need a port somewhere to sense the altitude at which to deploy the parachute.

@@Tom_KZfaq_stole_my_handle yeah

Vostok and Voskhod had heat shielding all around on the re-entry module, so they could survive re-entry at literally any angle. That being said, I don't recall Voskhod 2 having an issue where their service module failed to separate. I do remember an early Soyuz flight where the orbital module didn't separate as planned, and they had to re-enter upside down to burn it off before re-orienting to the proper bottom-forward attitude.

The heat shielding is all around of the spacecraft. To avoid problems with re-entry, capsule is spherical and after the re-entry burning looks like well burned meat ball couse of mixture of some materials embedded with the resin around honeycomb structure around steel (or titanium) core, which are systematicly burned of during descent. I've seen copy of the gen. ret. Hermaszewskis (polish cosmonaut) capsule in the Warsaw War Musem. Really clever idea.

@@bartomiejbudnik4047 Exactly clever idea shaping a capsule like that. Afterward everybody wanted it to make it look good. Sometimes simply solution have more success than the ones that looks good.

@@The_Touring_Jedi Nonspherical capsules do more than just make the capsule look good. A ball capsule cannot generate aerodynamic lift which means you have zero control over the capsule trajectory through the atmosphere. Almost all capsules since are nonspherical precisely because this allows them to generate a small amount of lift, enough to change their trajectory to account for dispersions. Take this to the logical extreme and you have the Space Shuttle, which had the ridiculous yet never used requirement of landing at a runway 1000 nautical miles to the left of its orbital track, so it had to have wings to perform the direction change and basically became a plane. Otherwise it could have gotten away with a honking big cylinder design, just like Starship is now

Only Chuck Norris could outdo Liam Neeson.
