This is a really great archive and fantastic channel . It's difficult to comprehend the incredible intellectual magnitude behind Apollo/Skylab/ASTP and the brilliant hardware that was produced . Had to chuckle at Ed Gibson - not exactly a natural in front of the camera !

In 1973, I was one of 0.000001 percent of the population who loved this. I'm glad space is popular again. But where was everybody back when space geeks like myself were so solitary?

@@rsprockets7846 He is not talking about sending artificial satelites into space as humans was sending on avg. 2 satelites into space every week for a very loooooong time... and manned space program in the same time was simply pathetic(and paid by tax payers not by private sector->and it is like that to this day->only few billionaires were able to play astronauts and if i remember it corectly most of them did that via state owned Russian space agency...).

Me too. I watched it all as a lad. I watched it from the phosphor screen when it happened. My father retired a few years ago. He stood with my brothers and me, watching the launches from Vandenberg.

I was wondering whatever happened to skylab. It surprised me to learn that we had a station predating the ISS. You hear a lot about shuttles but they never talk about this.

@RetroJack Месяц назад

After three crewed missions lasting a total of 24 weeks, Skylab was abandoned in 1974. Due to delays in the Space Shuttle program, Skylab's orbit deteriorated faster than expected. In 1979, engineers attempted to control its re-entry with limited success, resulting in debris scattering across the Indian Ocean and parts of Western Australia. Thankfully, there were no injuries.

When you think about it, all that is what we've got today, so things only got more complicated, yet nobody is the least bit scared or overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information. Maybe we got used to it, maybe digital is less scary than analog, fiber optics make more sense than EMF, who knows? Makes you wonder why Philco didn't become an Apple

@@mmaranta785 to answer your question, a 16mm stop motion camera was filming. This material is part of the pre/post-flight newspool reference films produced specifically to depict scenes that could not be achieved otherwise. Nowhere did NASA ever claim these films were mission films.

@kurtfrancis4621 7 месяцев назад

There has NEVER been many women engineers. Got my degree in the late 80s, and we had Iess than 5% of the class left at the end of 5 years that were women. They were just as capable as the guys, but the long term interest isn't there for most women.

@am74343 3 месяца назад

Back in those days, women were supposed to stay home, wear aprons and pearls, and make the children peanut butter 'n' jelly sandwiches for lunch. Not many women were thought of as "smart enough" to be engineers. Back then, we were also told that: "By the year 2000, the average citizen will be able to take vacations on the moon, and enjoy sightseeing tours of the solar system..." And we know how THAT has turned out...

@ChatGPT1111 2 года назад

Did you bother to research it? The Apollo program is the single most documented program in history, with hundreds of millions of pages of research, contributions from universities all over North America and billions invested to create this type of new technologies. Each of the 10 NASA centers is larger than most military bases and contains scores of facilities with billions in lab equipment and thousands of engineers and scientists to overcome such challenges. Don't expect to master it between a few months of microwavable hot pockets.

@ChatGPT1111 2 года назад

If America lost interest after Apollo 12 (2nd landing), why would they support returning to the moon? It took the cycling of the generations, new competition from the Chinese, and innovators like Elon Musk to rekindle the spark.
