I appreciate that you don't default to jump cuts. I like the jump cut format for certain types of videos, perfectly acceptable style. But your content is better served with a narrative style, so I very much appreciate the effort you put in to your production.

0:52 As someone who lives in Southern California, I have, at many times had a school speaker open with "hi I'm someone from JPL and here's some cool stuff I brought". I'm glad you can share that experience. (I think JPL has a PR/education outreach department that consists of whatever ideas their employees come up with)

Of course it has to look '"Shiny': Imagine you work there, controlling equipment in outer space worth millions of dollars - and all you get to see are some boring grey walls and a black-and-white console telling you in 8 pixel text the position of the satellites. they can at least spend a million or two for their own personal on the ground. Makes you want to work there just even more.

@benradford847 7 лет назад

what'd be really interesting is if you could get into a guitar factory. it sounds obscure, but if you could visit somewhere like gibson, Fender, Crimson ect, and have them explain the science of why guitars are built the way they are, and what affects the sound. Or the science of pickups. I know there are all these videos explaining that kind of stuff online, but none of them are Tom Scott videos. Seeing your input on instrument making and the factories themselves/the master builders/luthiers could be fascinating!

@jesusgonzalez6715 7 лет назад

Ben Radford there is a suburb of Erlangen (Germany) that is quite well known for instrument making. Mostly old timey handmade and whatnot

@sinom 7 лет назад

Jesus Gonzalez just a 1-2h drive from there is also Bayreuth. It has a organ and violin "factory" and the Wagner Festspielhaus with the yearly Festspiele. (pretty famous.)

@emilcarr7190 7 лет назад

@wolfgangmcq 7 лет назад

On a similar note, I went a few years ago to see a fascinating documentary on the Steinway factory. Most memorably, they have an entire (soundproof!) room full of machines banging on pianos.

@chrisedwards3866 7 лет назад

Or the Steinway piano factory in New York would be good too. There is a lot of mathematics in the piano, particularly with the challenge of shrinking a concert grand piano down to a smaller size in a baby grand or upright piano.

I once had a job interview at APL (applied physics laboratory) which is like the east coast version of that. I was also super excited when they were like "And through that glass is the clean room where we build the satellites" And "here is the shake table where we test components to survive launch". I wonder how my life would have gone if I had gotten an offer.

@G3HP 7 лет назад

The impression I get from this video is that 8 months of planning and organisation occured, and somehow they still ended up booking Matt and Tom in on what was essentially an early break-off day... Well done JPL XD (Having said that, I still take into consideration that maybe they were not authorised to enter on an active duty day, which is why they are in JPL on Mardi Gras)

@Rainst0rm4759 7 лет назад

I'm a little surprised you went for the Curiosity narrative in the video, since Opportunity is a couple of days away from exceeding it's operating plan by 13 years, although seeing Maggie probably had some influence. Great video, though. Maybe we'll get to see that interview some other time.

@RMoribayashi 7 лет назад

Those screens save space by having useful data not taking up room at every position. I was watching Space Shuttle Mission Control on NASA TV in the early 90's when they debuted a program called DEMOS (my guess is Dynamic Earth Model and Orbiter Simulator) that showed the shuttle's relation to the Earth. It seemed to upgrade after almost every mission, improving the graphics and adding features. By the program's end it could show up to three way multiple POV split screen with accurate shadowing, displaying real time orbital vectors for several objects. The ISS version is even better.
