Daniel and Max head to NASA to compare G-force to anti-gravity and hang out with Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, as they get a taste of life in space.
Highzone64 the best part is I don’t even remember posting this let alone getting 1k updoots. Maybe they heard me cause f1 RU-vid is pretty damn good these days lmao
The things these guys get to do is amazing. NASA is one of the few places where nobody is impressed by how fast F1 cars can go. 200 mph? 😂 Our space shuttle goes 17,500 mph and we're much more selective in terms of which Russians we let drive it.
what about the sun? can make a race track in the sky without any run of.... just the sun in care you go off. would give the young drivers a chance to race aswell.
Riccardo: 'Goina pick up Buzz' Max: 'Buzz Lightyear¿' I honestly think Max didn't know Riccardo was referencing Buzz Aldrin. The second man to land on the moon, after the cameraman that filmed it. Moon landing was hoaxed people!
Best teammates seriously! It’s rad seeing these guys be at the lever they are and be so humble and completely different than the other top teams. Keep it up Red Bull you guys got a good thing with these two, don’t fuck it up!
Damn, these guys are so privileged! Not only driving F1 cars, but all sorts of other crazy vehicles. Get to see the coolest things (which are off limits for us mere mortals) and meet famous people. Not to mention they get a huge salary and free stuff. Both really nice guys though. And they worked hard to get there, so I guess it is well-deserved :)
@Zane Wong I bet they could :)...... You got lateral G's ( Gy & Gx) and axial G's ( Gz ) . Racing drivers only experience lateral G's ( If they dont crash that is :P ) but they have a trained neck to also sustain axial G's. After some training ( Like Mats stated breathing Hik technique ) i think they would suit the role of a fighter pilot perfectly. They have ultra fast reflexes and a strong heart and neck plus they are usally around 1.75 to 1.85 m which is a perfect height for pilots and are around 70 to 75 Kg's which is also very positive for coping with G forces.
The heavier you are the more weight per square inch when pulling G's. And if you are above 1.90 meters the distance from your brain to your heart is anatomically longer so you'll pass out quicker.. and no i am not a pilot but i had the privilege to take a ride on a centrifuge :)
I used to live five mins drive from JSC, in a subdivision off NASA Parkway (or NASA Road 1, as it is sometimes called). My sister is law is an avionics engineer there, so I've been very blessed to see a lot of the facility that you don't normally get to see. When I'd drive to work, I'd always leave five mins earlier so I had time to take the slightly longer route to work. Hang a right on to Saturn Lane from NASA Pkwy. On the left is a replica Shuttle mounted on a 747 and on the right is Rocket Park, with a hangar and a Saturn V rocket.
