I am only 12 years old although I would like to be an Aerospace Engineer for NASA or SpaceX. I love watching your videos. I met Jim Lovell. I am going on the behind the scenes tour at Kennedy Space Center next week. I love space! You are awesome!

@AmyShiraTeitel 7 лет назад

Ooh, nice! Have so much fun at Kennedy. It's massively inspiring!

Cool tattoo kid. I enjoy your videos because they bring back great memories for me. When I was in elementary school, we would have a school wide assemblies to watch the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo launches. Thanks for your efforts.

@TheShmuTube 7 лет назад

I've considered getting an Interstellar tattoo because its one of my favorite movies or getting the space shuttle hatch. I used to get up super early on school nights or run home and watch NASA TV for hours when there was a launch. The space shuttle is such a huge inspiration and is one of the reasons I've had a life long obsession with space. I'm even working towards getting a PR job for Nasa or some space related journalism.

@RogerGarrett 7 лет назад

I agree wholeheartedly with you about the Rogallo wing. Back when NASA was trying out that approach I also gave it a try, building a small model and test dropping it from the high rise student housing at Northrop Institute of Technology. It was just totally cool technology.

@Mazarax 7 лет назад

Love the happiness you're radiating in this video. Awesome tattoo and videos.

@busdriver428 6 лет назад

Hey Amy. Any company that wouldn’t hire you because of your tattoos is seriously CRAZY! I’m not really a tattoo person but yours is awesome. The obvious passion you have for your field would make you an asset to any company

@ChristopherDoll 7 лет назад

Love the tattoo, and it's a very cool personal choice. And thank you for sharing the story. Lifelong love of space, science fiction, drawing and art here and yet at 50 I've never once gotten a tattoo. I might need to change that.

@bennylofgren3208 7 лет назад

Christopher Doll I'm 51 and have been wanting to get tattooed for some time. I just haven't found the right artwork for me yet. It's never too late to do what you like. :-)

@busdriver428 6 лет назад

You are a great presenter. That, and your passion for the subject matter has made me interested as well. I have always loved learning about deep space and the knowledge humans have learned from telescopes. You have now got me interested in the beginning of the space race. THANK YOU!!

@cspann831 7 лет назад

And you didn't even flinch during the procedure what a trooper! I am not a tatoo kinda guy myself but a unique and remarkable one like you have is something to behold

"Don't die." Always sound advice. I had been freeze-framing previous videos to try and see it clearly. Thanks for this video. Your tattoo is lovely and fits you perfectly. I don't see it happen very often, but it is so appropriately unique, that it makes you more 'you'.

The Gus mobile was designed with an off center Cg so it could be turned and steered on reentry. A hundred mile change in landing area was not out of reach I have been told

@mattcolver1 6 лет назад

The invention of the Rogallo wing made it possible for so many to have personal flight. The Rogallo wing is the basis for most modern hang gliders. Francis Rogallo was a visionary.

@bobgausman1127 5 лет назад

I miss designing and testing spacecraft back in the late 80s-90's. All those old Apollo engineers were my mentors and coaches. They don't make them like that any more. it was really interesting. Good job on your channel

@CAPNMAC82 6 лет назад

Convair got in the Rogallo act about the same time. One of the proposed recovery options for the "crew capsule" on the F-111/FB-111 project was a Rogallo wing system. In the end, simple parachites were used instead. The remaining FB-111 in Air Force inventory still use the "crew capsule" system, where a chunk of the cockpit separates from the aircraft in case of emergency. The Grumman rebuilt EF-111A ELInt/AEW aircraft were converted back to standard ejection seats.

@phillipw6389 7 лет назад

Cool story and it's always good to hear more about Gemini, Amy!

@dankendall9608 7 лет назад

Amy, the TTV-2 is now on display in the National Space Centre, Leicester, U.K. If you're ever in the country, you're welcome to come and see it. My research tells me that it did most of the successful flying - and the display at the Centre owes a lot to you bringing the Paraglider story out of the historical wilderness! So thanks!

@seannesbit2218 7 лет назад

I don't know which I love more. The artwork on the tattoo or the story behind it! Geeky tattoos are the best!

@pitsnipe5559 3 года назад

When I was a young lad I built a scale model of a Gemini capsule. It included retractable landing skids. Never could understand what that was all about. Now I know! Thanks.

@thommyeriksson2781 4 года назад

Oh the Regallo wing! That was by far the most awesome tatoo I have seen the last 50 years! I love the regallo wing koncept, made a computer graphics animation of it many years ago.

@charlesjenkins1225 7 лет назад

another wonderful upload Amy :). Thank you!

@DarrenPoulson 7 лет назад

Brilliant tattoo, perfect choice for you. And nice bit of work. I don't have tattoos myself, but seem to know plenty of tattooists and can appreciate a well done bit of art.

@MkVIIIMaus 7 лет назад

there's nothing "weird" about the US space program in my eyes Amy. I'm just thankful you have the knowledge and passion to reach out and explain the exhausting tasks the NASA has been through to get our men and women to and back from space. it's such an intense feeling to see a spacecraft rocket to the heavens and yet return safely. thank you again for all you do with vintage space!

@davidtoddhoward 7 лет назад

The Gemini program was such a hotbed of historical innovation and the paraglider landing concept (although sidelined) was brilliant and exciting. I love the tattoo! From following your videos and writing over the years, it's the perfect reflection of a big part of who you are! 😎

@That_Freedom_Guy 4 года назад

I can imagine future body art that could glow and/or move through a sequence of images like a gif . Tiny subdermal electronics would control it. So Amy, imagine your paragliding capsule becoming animated to show that sequence that you showed us. Pretty cool, huh!

@gregthorup5679 7 лет назад

I'm so glad I found Vintage Space earlier this week. I've been a space nerd ever since I watched Sputnik 1 fly over my neighborhood in 1957. A few years later my Dad worked on the Apollo guidance system and got to attend the Apollo 11 launch in 1969. He told me a lot of inside stories about the space program, but the most exciting part of it was when he told us we were going to the moon (we found out before it was publicly announced). At the time it was widely considered that an attempt at a moon landing wouldn't take place for at least 100 years. Imagine the bravery it took for everyone involved to make such a bold statement about something that had never been done. Contrast the political courage it took for President Kennedy to announce that we were going to the moon compared to the spineless weenies in our government today. You can check it out: President Kennedy's speech at Rice University in 1962. It'll give you goose bumps.

To be fair, recovery of the spacecraft after ocean splashdown, isn't really as costly as it sounds, because the vessels and crews are already being paid for, as a continuing military service expense. The taxpayer would be funding the vessels and crews, whether they were recovering a space capsule, or sailing around the oceans, on patrol or exercises.

@cesarmoran7433 3 года назад

Your the best!! I admire your passion!!

@bingosunnoon9341 3 года назад

This "Bat Glider", as it was known by the engineers at McDonnell, spent twenty years in my dad's garage after it was discarded by MAC. I flew it, towed behind a VW , several times. L/D was pretty low so it behaved more like a parachute than a glider.

@DefektoPrime 7 лет назад

I really liked the laid back feeling of this video.

@coriscotupi 7 лет назад

Amy, if you love the Rogallo wing concept so much, you should try hang gliding! Today's gliders in the sport are all direct descendants of the Rogallo wing. You can go out for just one single flight so you don't have to actually learn, there are many clubs and associations that will take you up for a tandem flight with an instructor, he/she will do the actual flying - and if you want, I 'd bet they'll let you try the controls if you tell them your story! I flew hang gliders in the late 70s and early 80s before finally moving on to airplanes. I think you'd love the experience, give it a thought!

@KevinLyda 7 лет назад

So... when you finally decided on a space tattoo you discovered you didn't have enough... space. Well played irony, well played. And while I'm not a tattoo expert, yours looks really well done. Awesome that it worked out!

@ajsynott 7 лет назад

A cool Tat and I am in awe of your love of the lesser known.

@scooteroo1701 7 лет назад

I absolutely LOVE your passion for space! I learn so much from your channel. Keep up the great videos. Also that's a great tattoo. I want to get a tattoo down my leg from knee to ankle of various space phenomena and objects with the phrase "we are Star stuff" spelled out in cosmic dust."

@paulwalsh2344 7 лет назад

Wow I am amazed at how many youthful humans are watching this channel ! Thank you again Amy for helping inspire and inform the next generation of space enthusiasts, engineers and explorers !

@michaellucero2280 7 лет назад

That's surprisingly well detailed for a tattoo. I hope it doesn't bleed too much over time.

@ejackson9061 7 лет назад

My Great Grandfather was born in 1910 when Halley's Comet came and he was named Halley. He died in 1986 when it came back 76 years later. My brother got an upper back mural tattoo of space and the comet a few years back in rememberance of him. I am not sure if I will be lucky enough to see the comet again as I would 86 when it does but here's hoping. Thanks for the episode!

I think its cool and different. That was a good pick.

@biker451 7 лет назад

+Vintage Space -- The first time I noticed that tat I said out loud, to myself (don't ask) "that looks like a Rogallo wing!" Then I remembered you had done a video about the NASA Rogallo and suspected that was what it was although I hadn't noticed the capsule hanging below it at first. I've a few tats that I got many decades ago but I still love them and I agree that good body art can be awesome! Congrats on yours!

@Tiisiphone 5 лет назад

I love tattoos and already have a few. I've been thinking of a vintage style tattoo with a rocket (maybe Saturn V) surrounded by red roses, and a banner saying "Ad Astra Per Aspera". I'm sure you know about this quote meaning "A Rough Road Leads to the Stars", it is a tribute to the doomed Apollo 1 crew. Those are words to live by regardless of the context, if you're resilient enough you will reach your life goals.

@Kilkenny1923 5 лет назад

Always considered tattoos but never found any image I would want to carry with me to the grave. Happy you were able to find an image that so closely aligns with your life's passion.

@richardingle7540 6 лет назад

@SwarmBuilt 7 лет назад

Private Pilots around the world who fly ultralights and microlights benefit directly from the research done on this Gemini technology. NASA doesn't only focus on Space but also aviation and wing technology innovation. So much of this technology has been rolled into current flying aircraft.

@WarblesOnALot 7 лет назад

G'day, Yay Team ! I recall seeing your Tat. & trying to freeze-frame it, because it looked like an early Rogallo-Wing, but I couldn't see either an A-Frame nor any Parallel Bars, and I couldn't see sufficient detail to be able to identify (the other thing) as being the Gemini Capsule under a Rogallo-Wing with an Inflatable Airframe & Parachute-Shrouds... Back in the 1990s I was the Launch-Controller/Low-Speed Aeronautics-Consultant at Aerotowing Adventures Australia..; and as unlikely as it sounds, for about 5 years I seem to have been something like a "World-Leader" in safely controlling the Aerotow-Launching of Rogallo Hang-Gliders behind 3-Axis Ultralights, in 1997 my "Lockout Index" was mandated as "Industry Standard..." by the Oz Dep't Of Transport..., so I enjoy seeing anything which increases the public consciousness of the origins of the Rogallo-Wing. In my "Personal Aeroplanology Playlist" there's a video titled "Aero-Towing Rogallo Hang-Gliders... The Lockout Index..." ; if you're interested in what's difficult about Aerotowing a Rogallo-Wing off the Ground, when it has no Yaw-Control... Have a good one, ;-p Ciao !
