They were probably burning thousands of calories in those few hours. Not that it's anything to those guys-- they are superhuman. US SEALs can probably swim for days.

I didn't think that airlines gave out snacks on flights of less than 30 minutes.

Imagine a frogman thinking I’m swimming up to an astronaut on a little raft in the middle of the ocean eating chocolate bars

They could get indigestion aka stitch and could drown! You’re not meant to swim for up to one hour before swimming! I found this out to my pun detriment at a every early age.

@@ryanoneill4691 that’s actually a common myth, there is no connection with indigestion and swimming after eating less than an hour beforehand.

The numbers involved in space travel are pretty wild

Wow, a half of Germany is a lot of football fields

Orbital velocity is something like 14,000-18,000mph, if I remember right. Those 3 seconds can affect angle, which can adjust impact and...yeah, it gets compounded quickly!

picture it like this... a 3 degree angle whose legs are a few centimeters long have an arc width of just a few centimeters also.... not increase those legs to a few thousand kilometers and the arc width also grows accordingly

Thanks for a new unit for measuring

He prob knew there was snacks in the emergency rations, and just can’t wait for splash down

"okay we will shot you on this Giant rod of bomb send to uper atmosfer and stay there one bit .the view Will be amazing .and drift down and hitting the ocean that probably gonna give you little brain damage .and you wait to get rescue .the ship that Will rescue you Will take about 3 hour or more depend on right or wrong the calculation" Carpenters:" what i do in that 3 hour just waiting on sea ?" "Okay.........how about some Snack ? " Carpenter:"................well thats enough i think"

Like c'mon that man was a real chad

He knew there was a sorta big navy looking for him.

So that's why the Mk1 capsule has a box labeled snacks!

And the biggest irony of it all was that because of that incident explosive bolts were removed from further hatches and as a result Grissom, White and Chaffee couldn't get out of Apollo 1 when the fire happened.

@@dukecraig2402 the most reason was the hatch opened to the interior side and been over pressured by the fire

@@badbotchdown9845 The hatch was bolted shut, that was the problem and why it was completely redesigned to eliminate the bolts. It didn't have a release handle to open it as you imagine, the redesigned later ones did.

@@dukecraig2402 it didn't matter that it was bolted shut. It was physically impossible to open from the inside because it opened inward and the fire raised the internal pressure. It almost certainly didn't matter anyway as the fire was so intense they were near death within seconds and dead rapidly.

@@webby2275 That narrative is incorrect, it's a misnomer that the reason they couldn't get the hatch open is because it opened inward and pressure was holding it, because of writer's and video makers who don't bother to read the entire report and understand what happened step by step they believe that because the hatch was redesigned to open outwards then there must have been pressure holding it shut with the original design, but it wasn't, here's what happened. The hatch opening inward or outwards made no difference with the original design, under normal circumstances it took 90 seconds to unbolt the hatch, they were dead in 30 seconds, then it took them another 3½ minutes to get the hatch open, but that 3½ additional minutes had nothing to do with the hatch being held by pressure, don't forget they were already dead at this point, well before the bolts were undone the equalization valves were open and the inside was no longer pressurized, that's already done in the 90 seconds it takes to unbolt it, the reason it took another 3½ minutes to get it opened after they got it unbolted is because from the heat and the capsule being over pressurized from the fire the hatch and it's frame were bent, aka it was stuck and had to be pried open. Now when they designed the new hatch they designed it to open outwards because they didn't want an inward opening hatch to lead to the next disaster, because doing away with it being bolted shut and being able to immediately unlatch it meant that inside pressure could indeed hold it shut before the pressure could be equalized with the outside, but with the original design it didn't make any difference because in the 90 seconds it took to unbolt it the pressure would be equalized before the 90 seconds was up. At no point was pressure holding it shut, by the time it was unbolted the pressure had already been equalized.

That's typical military, though. The brass was probably yelling, "Is the astronaut alright? He is? Alright, then get that hardware now! Do you know how much it costs?"

@@Maria_Erias yeah, worried about what it cost, knowing that it would never be used again.

@@Maria_Erias Yep, made worse by the fact a trained veteran astronaut costs far more than a dinky burned up capsule.

@@chrisperrien7055 you would think a trained veteran astronaut would be towards the top of priority list to protect, since, you know, there aren’t many of them. You can rebuild a capsule in a few months. You can’t train an astronaut to have that level of experience in that time frame.

SHUT UP AND LOOK 2:02

he would have been so stressed watching it all whilst tryna stay afloat

You can see, he wasn't happy. Someone was fired. Grisham was CAPT? Equiv to a Colonel.

@@angelg2638 I’m not sure what rank he was at the time of this incident, but he did earn the rank of LTC in the Air Force. So, kind of fucked that an O-5 was treated like that (especially one as valuable as him).

It didn't end there. He got blamed for blowing the hatch and sinking the spacecraft. He was almost fired and on the no fly list. That's why it took so long for him to fly again.

@@user-lv7ph7hs7l I always thought that was a garbage reason, he didn't even have the bruises that every who blew the hatch did

Fun fact: The crew of Voskhod 2 was almost eaten by wolves when they had to land prematurely because of problems with the spacecraft. They ended up landing in the forest in the middle of winter and the rescue crew had to ski to get to them.

The Cosmonauts had shotguns onboard, just for that possibility.

Funnily enough, the Soviets had their own near-drowning incident. Soyuz 23 unintentionally landed in a lake and sank, and the cosmonauts were trapped in the submerged capsule for 9 hours until it was dragged out.

Yes, Elon Musk truly is incredible

@@goochipoochie did elon write the code? did elon build the rocket? did elon do anything but set a task and throw money at people smarter than him?

@@uwuaparker1813 while I don’t like how people idolize Elon Musk, he is a figurehead for his companies. At least for me, I think that somewhat implies that the other commenter was referring to SpaceX as a whole rather than just Musk. A more accurate praise would be to the engineers, technicians, accountants, planners, manufacturers, and more of not only SpaceX but all of the groups who’s work SpaceX is building on, such as the world’s various space agencies and scientific bodies. I think people usually like simple explanations, even for very complex things, and sometimes we lose sight of that complexity, which is definitely annoying, but I don’t believe the other person was maliciously spreading misinformation.

@@uwuaparker1813 If we extend your comments logic, you are saying that all the great entrepreneurs were useless since they didn't do everything by themselves... So are Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Bernard Arnault and Jack Ma useless? No, it's just that the value they bring to the table is not operational in nature. What they have that others don't is a vision and the capacity to materialize it by bringing people together to work on their vision. It's only natural as an entrepreneur to surround yourself with people that are smarter and more competent in their respective field. That is precisely how we made it so far as a society... not by making everything by ourselves.

@@spookyactionatadistance2422 i mean sure he bankrolled a project for engineers and scientists. thats cool. and? none of those people are useless they just are bankrolling projects that they want to make money on. they're nothing special and they never will be.

@North of the Rio Grande Not back then, but that might be a consideration now

Or, hear me out.. maybe it's not worth it, and we should stop trying to do crazy, impractical things, that will only hender humanity as a whole in the long run, by wasting time, resources, lives, and the well being of each existing territory in our world.. maybe, it's a sign that we should all start working together as a species to achieve a common goal, and stop racing to see who can get the farthest away from our planet the fastest. But, I dunno, maybe we should keep trying to figure out a way to explore and live in places that we're not physically capable of surviving in, out of sheer curiosity... that seems real important... much more pressing than world hunger, medical advancements, or peace amongst nations. Yeah, the space race is definitely more important. Bravo, humanity... I wouldn't mind looking outward, to space, if we had our shit here on Earth figured out, already.. but we don't. We fight eachother constantly, each country is greedy, selfish, and arrogant in its own way. Instead of spending all of our time and scientific research on developing new weapons, and better ways to kill eachother.. maybe we should try and work towards finding a cure to cancers.. do you realize, that if no one researching new weapons, or made any weapons in the first place, there'd be no need to continue doing so in order to stave off the possible threat of a hostile country, by showing who's the most advanced?.. it's a giant waste of fucking time. People don't even fight wars, our leaders do, and the people are the ones to suffer from it. It doesn't benefit us to fight, it only does so when we're being imposed upon in a way that oversteps someone's power, which is what it all rotates around.. power.. control... position over others. Humanity should lay down its arms as a whole, and come together to solve real issues that face all of us as a species. This is all, unfortunately, further out of reach than anyone even realizes.. why? Because no one even looks at it as being a possibility. Our leaders each want the most control and power that they can possibly have, and they'll never sacrifice an inch of that power, even if it means a peaceful resolution that benefits all of humanity. It's frustrating, because we're the ones that put these selfish monkeys in a position where they actually could dictate and control our lives, and well being.. It's no wonder, if aliens exist, that they haven't contacted us. We can't put aside out differences as a species, we're dangerous, I don't blame them for not wanting to get near us.

From what I understand the shield didn't actually work loose, instead a faulty switch indicated that it had. As I'm sure you know because they thought that the shield was loose they opted to keep the retro pack on thinking if the shield was loose then it would help hold it on, I guess when the retro pack burned up during re-entry it was quite the fireworks show for Glenn when he re-entered the atmosphere. Here's a fun fact for you, after going on his space flight Glenn slipped in the shower in his home and busted his head pretty good, as a result of the doctors worrying about him having brain damage he was taken off of the flight rotation and NASA came up with a cover story because they didn't want the public to get wind of his having slipped in his shower, it came as a shock to me to find out years down the road that there was a cover story about it because for my entire life I knew the truth about what had happened, see before I was born in 1965 my mother was a nurse in the hospital that Glenn was taken to in Ohio when it happened, she just happened to be on an elevator going from one floor to another when Glenn was wheeled into it on a hospital gurney, she rode to the next floor with him and the people attending to him and one of them told her what happened, as a result I grew up hearing the story and how when it happened my mother laughed and said to herself "The man goes into outer space and comes back fine only to slip in the tub and bust his head". Some years back when I was watching a documentary on the space program they talked about how for years the public didn't know the truth about why he was really taken out of the flight rotation, I had no clue that for all those years there was a cover story and thought the public had always known what really happened like I did, it made me wonder how few people I was one of that for years knew the truth about his head injury.

@@dukecraig2402 wow. That's quite a story. I knew that he had only made the one flight. I guess I never really gave it much thought about why he only did the one. As far as the heat shield everything I heard was that it was loose, but yes a faulty switch or indicator makes sense.and of course Glenn later went back to space on the space shuttle. Interesting stuff.🙂

@@dwlopez57 Yea, like I said I grew up hearing the story about him busting his head in the tub and always assumed it was common knowledge, when I watched that documentary about all the close calls and near disaster events in the history of the US space program that were kept from the public for the sake of keeping both the Russian's and the American people thinking that it was as easy as they made it look back then I was totally surprised to find out that he was removed from the flight rotation for that reason in the first place and that the JFK cover story was used to keep the truth under wraps. But it is pretty funny when you think about it, the man goes all the way into space and returns safely just to slip in his tub and bust his head.

@@dukecraig2402 Problems is, this didn't happen on Grissom's suborbital flight, it happened one mission later on John Glenn's orbital flight. Ground controllers received an indication that the capsule's landing bag had deployed, meaning that it was unlikely that the heat shield would remain in place thru re-entry. Glenn was instructed not to jettison the retro package, hoping the straps of the package would hold the shield in place long enough if the bag had indeed deployed.

@@brianbraswell434 Read what I wrote, I clearly said it happened on Glenn's flight.
