I was 11 when Neil and Buzz first walked on the moon. I hope I live long enough to see the next group of explorers set foot there (and Mars too)!

It’s insanely impressive how much Andy Weir researched his novels. Sloshing was a critical part of the Martian even though it’s something 90% of readers never would have considered

Using the Stars to Navigate just like the Explorers of Old is so Beautifully Poetic

It was great working with you again, Alex! It's really exciting to see these renewed initiatives to reach the moon (and beyond). I wasn't even alive the last time we went to the moon, but I distinctly remember being obsessed with the moon landings as a kid. The thought of returning definitely brings back that childhood wonder. Fantastic job on this video. And for any viewers who might be interested in learning more about Ground News, I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!

I was at the testflight of Artemis one as well as at quite a few different shuttle launches. I've noticed that for some reason SLS doesn't hit as hard in the chest when it launches. That was one of my favorite things about the space shuttle! When it launched you would feel an impact in your chest and a deep rumble. It surprised me how tame the shock waves from SLS are! This is a testament to the engineering that has gone into the rocket. The shock waves on the surrounding area are not near as violent even though the vehicle is larger.

seeing the milestones live was one of the coolest things I've experienced so far! Loved the timelapses too!

I love all Andy Wier books. Can’t wait for his next one. The research he does and his attention to details made the harsh reality of living on Mars feel like it has already happened.

That SLS launch was something else. Seeing the acoustic energy pulsing through the exhaust was amazing. And the views of the Earth from the Moon. That's one of the things I can not wait for as we make our way back... we'll get a monthly Earth-rise live stream. Hopefully they can keep Artemis 2 on schedule, I'm itching for progress.

Epic video! Some exciting times ahead. Cannot wait to see the Artemis Lunar landings!

Really love your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge and explaining it so well!!

Can you do a video breaking down the future of radiation protection from both high energy particles and high frequency EM radiation? I've always wondered what it would take to make a material or suite of materials light enough for space travel but robust enough to protect humans.

In the alternate world of 2001:A Space Odyssey Artimis 1 would have happened in 1981. The crew module Orion would have been named Diana 1.

I was 21 at the time of the first moon landing. I'm now 75. 😊

Let’s goo! Been watching for like a year now and I’m hopelessly hooked! Can’t wait for more!

Great video Alex. Your vids keep getting better and better. Beautifully captured the grandeur and scale of the Artemis mission.

The engineering of these things is just jaw-dropping.

Another passionate video. Thanks for the update on Artimis 1

"Alexa, open the pod bay doors, please." "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that until you renew your Amazon Prime subscription." Was this NOT on anybody's mind at NASA when they agreed to this deal with basically the real-life Lex Luthor/Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Dr. Evil?

I love this channel! So glad I found you!

Alex, thank you so much for your well thought out video as always. Astrum is one of the very few youtube channels I allow my children to watch. My three year old is autistic and can identify every planet, dwarf plant, and moon in the solar system thanks to you. What most fascinates me about space travel is that we as humans seem to become one, no wars (so far), no prejudice, just grit, joy and comradery.. the best human traits seem to come out in space. Many astronauts have commented that while out there, home is not one's country, but the Earth, something we all share.

cheers Astrum, It's always a pleasure seeing your uploads.

Next level visuals on this video. This is really television or streaming service quality and beyond. I hope that you can find some partnership with a streaming service for a mini series because you put out such top-tier stuff

I particularly liked the Star Trek clip 🤓 and how, completely coincidentally your video was 17:01 long! Great video, cheers!

Amazing journey of Orion in Artemis 1 mission. I'm worried about reentry to atmosphere. The capsule looked too burned out on recovery. Next missions will test the new larger Lunar Module. Good luck and best wishes to NASA 's return of human crews to the Moon. Thanks for the video.

Maybe your best production yet. Completely inspiring. Go NASA! 🇺🇸🚀

Really enjoyed this presentation !

As a direct grandson of Christopher Columbus, I disapprove of the positive spin he was given in this.

Love from Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, Asia, Earth... You are doing a great job Keep it up... 😊...

Very pleasant, very informative! ESP. About what was studied and accomplished.🙏👏

Always interesting to find content about Space.

Orion 1? If anything it is Orion CM-002 after the first one during EFT-1 in 2014 and also technically the mission is named Artemis 1

13:24 It wasn't friction. It was mostly the compression of the air in front of the module that turned the air into plasma.

Super well done. I will be subscribing for sure.

Awesome!! Nice work, I suscribe already 😀👍🏻

10:56 So the mystery goo experiment is real? 🤯

380 Millisieverts per what? Hour? Minute? Day? Year? My portable gamma spectrometer dosimeter is currently measuring 45 Nano sieverts per hour.. Based on the structure of the sentence I would assume year but it is a little bit ambiguous. I love all of your videos, keep making them please, they are amazing :-)

Hello, thanks for the interesting and beautiful video, great channel! Good luck!!!👌

I truly enjoyed this episode. Thank you 🍻

I remember watching Thunderbirds as a kid. The animation then to now is amazing. Re the space suits and radiation experience did the earlier astronauts suffer from cancers etc from their exposure ?

Like Buzz Lightyear once said: To infinity and beyond!

I very much enjoyed your analogy between the drive to explore the New World and the one of space.

Respectfully, please note that Christopher Columbus set sail in 1492--which was in the 15th Century, not the 16th Century.

I really enjoy your content Astrum! During re-entry I thought compression, not friction causes the heating of the spacecraft.

All I can say is that there had better be a live feed and communication. If we could do it the first time, we can surely do it now, and in HD.

Beautiful presentation.

Great video.

I don't understand all the radiation concern by NASA about sending astronauts to the moon. We already did it, and they made it back safe and lived long lives. Some are still alive. So I don't understand all the concern about cosmic radiation. Didn't they already figure all that out with our first journey's to the moon? Also, the Apollo astronauts were capable of flying the craft, so why the extensive concern about autopilot, or the capsule going behind the moon?

I don't care if I have to beg, borrow or steal.. I WILL be at the launch when they send humans back! Unfortunately I was only 4 months old when Neil and Buzz touched down the first time. And God-willing, I hope I get to see humans step out and touch Mars. I'll pretty much be an old fossil by then, but with any luck I'll get to see it. My kids will certainly see it and who knows.. maybe they'll be on the spacecraft that goes.

Thank you for uploading this very interesting item.

Fantastic opening!!

5:14 we must understand the science of boobs in space

As a Mexican, people like Arturo Campos only makes us dream big and know that we could achieve great things . So proud 🇲🇽🇺🇸

As usual, it's a beautiful video. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍

You have amazing script skills ❤️

thankyou for another great video.. will they be able to re- use the part that was left in orbit..?

This mission is really putting into context the first moon landing, if you think about it why is nasa doing so much research on how space travel would affect humans while in the 60s they just didnt or forgot, like it was explained space is extremly hostile and i doubt technology from 6 decades ago could do the trip and today in 2023 we cant and its not a matter of budget is just that the technology is finally catchin up.

I watched Apollo 11 touchdown live at about 5am UTC aged 9- and look forward to seeing it in better quality this time around- Hopefully , ...if I am still here!!😁

Amazing technological achievement! Can't wait for part 2...

WOW This was a perfect one!!

Fun fact: astrum in another language means star

Artemis is great technology and what we have now, but it's the same throwaway concept we went to the Moon with in the 1960s. What we need to have a viable space exploration effort is to have fully reusable vehicles! Single Stage To Orbit, or at least Two Stage ala Sanger. Also, a true space station where the missions will depart from and arrive back to, not a capsule hurtling back into the atmosphere at high velocities

Great video

Why do you call it Orion 1? Its Artemis 1.

AWESOME!!

Love that thumbnail, bro!

Imagine how the engineers felt sending a voice command to an AI and then listening to the response for telemetry instead of just looking at their screens.. Useful!

I've always wondered if space craft like Orion 1 are "bullet proof" since there is a chance a high speed micro meteor could strike

The future of space travel is looking bright! I am very optimistic!

Wow - quintessential - thank you!

Hello I really like your content and I relllly like space

"Lets find out the radiation levels for future human flights" Didn't they do that already back in the day?

One thing about Artemis I from my perspective was that with the launch experience, my heart was really thumping big time. Before the launch, we're well aware that we had to endure three launch scrubs due to faulty engine sensors, a hydrogen leak, and two major hurricanes. (Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole)I was surprised by just how bright the launch was, I have seen plenty of night launches, but I was surprised by how bright it really was as it turned night into day and it was as if I was looking at the rising sun. It's a good thing that they don't measure heartbeats because mine was through the roof. I kept my church (Trinity United Methodist Church in Grand Island, Nebraska) informed on how the mission was going. When Orion was in earth orbit, I was taken aback by the view of earth. It was as if I was onboard. Later, when Orion was orbiting the moon, I was amazed at the view of the moon and earth, giving everyone the impression that everything that we have on our planet is behind the moon. It really does, in my opinion, give me the impression that everything is irrelevant in the cosmos. On the way back, I was taken aback by the view of earth coming closer and closer and doing one of our church I was telling everyone that Orion was coming home in a couple of hours and then doing our contemporary church service, I was watching the reentry of Orion and hoping that everything is going well and then when those main parachutes deployed and Orion was on the water, that I knew and told everyone that Orion was home and the church erupted in excitement that Orion was home and everything went well. In closing, I would like to say that everything went incredibly well and I can't wait till Artemis II is launched, It is going to be exciting and thrilling.

This mission really showcases just how daring the Opollo missions were...crazy!!

if we did this 50 years ago.. how is it still hard xD

I met Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan in a local library many years ago. That was a great moment in my life. I still have his signature with me. They are true heroes went to moon many years ago with little help of technology. Today we have better technology, why still can not send people go to the moon.

I just checked if there was a new video, and I was very sad there wasn’t. Went to get a glass of milk and came back and was confused about how to feel. Astrum is watching me

something that's often overlooked is the earlier frontiers had air. easy to overlook i guess...

6:39 woah, that utterly detonated. Epic shot.

how did they get there last time?

Thx! How it affects plans to build Lunar Colony?

While a wonderful coverage of a mission where they learned a lot, some how I am kinda saddened they we have forgotten or thrown away so much that we have to learn so much all over again.

Great exploration mission , keep it up NASA .

This presentation would be fantastic to be used in primary schools to teach about space travel.

Astronaut: Open the pod bay doors Alexa. Alexa: I'm sorry, I can't do that. Astronaut: Alexa... Open the pod bay doors... Alexa: Connect Amazon Music to play specific songs on your device; starting radio for "The Doors"... Astronaut: ALEXA! OPEN THE POD BAY DOORS! Alexa: *di-dun*

I can't wait.. 7:46 "Alexa, open the door." "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that."

Could you please do a solar system basics video?

My son wants to be an astronaut and I show him your videos often because of the real footage. He doesn't watch them all the way through due to his young age but maybe one day.

Apparently the heat from reentry isn’t because of the friction against the air along the sides but rather the compression of the air at the front

Thank you.

"Open the pod bay door, Alexa." "I can't do that, Dave."

Fun fact Orion’s first orbital mission was on a delta 4 heavy and it went flawless so it was no brainer if sls would do the exact same thing

Thank you

Can you please do an updated video on mars

Orion is such a handsome vehicle. Looks so cool

Love from India love your videos and space is just marvelous💯❤️🙏

“Alexa open the pod bay doors” “I’m sorry Dave, I can’t let you jeopardize our delivery”

Thanks!

*The Incredible Journey to the Moon and Back* took place in December 1968. Orion will most likely become the record holder for the capsule to become obsolete after the least number of manned flights. The future of human spaceflight will not take place as a Apollo re-eneactmet but in a setup like the dearMoon mission.

Can’t wait as my 5th birthday was on 21st July 1969
