Race for Space (feat. Public Service Broadcasting) - Objectivity 32 

This was like Brady trying to impress on a first date

Love it! Put two space geeks together and they'll argue over whether Sputnik was 57 or 58 cm. I just checked, it's 58 cm (23 in)

That was a close one. I nearly closed the window before knowing whether or not Keith was going to be there. Don't tease me like that, Brady.

The closeup at 3:30 is a speaker. It also shows the negative voltage connection (I'm guessing 9в is 9 вольт or 9 volts). I bet it has a battery compartment for 6x1.5 v or a 9v battery so you should be able to get it working. *_You should check inside anyway to be sure there are no leaking batteries._*

could that guy be more British looking? I think not.

I want to come the Royal Society, but I'm scared I'll bump in to Keith. They say never meet your heroes.

Wooaw, Keith actually lives outside of the Museum :O Or maybe it's the outside which is moving for Keith. Keith is like the absolute referential.

"I may as well have been the first man in space." Infallible logic there, Brady. I love it

I love how this episode is just everyone fanboying over everything and everyone

I listened to this album because of Hello Internet, and I must say I am very glad I did. It was fantastic, thank you Brady for enriching my life.

This was really joyful to watch!

They look like my kind of band. They have a new fan now! :D

This is one of my favorite episodes so far! It would have been nice to have a lagniappe small interview with him about what he thought about the archive.

So the Sputnik model is propaganda but Apollo missions photos are not ? Objectivity, heh ? ;)

Hope to hear you geek-out about this on the next Hello Internet podcast.

Nice episode. I enjoyed watching it and now I'm hooked on Public Service Broadcasting :)

As a life-long space nerd, this Objectivity is my favorite so far! It's nice to know that Brady and I agree that Apollo 15 was the best Apollo mission.

Brady, I came here to watch this as a result of Hello Internet. I started listening from episode 1 about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I'm currently in the latter half of the 40s. You recommended Public Service Broadcasting and I have listened to 'the race for space' about 10 times in the last week. My 3 year old daughter is LOVING 'Go' in particular as well! Thank you for bringing these guys to my attention!

This seems like a perfect time to thank you, Brady, for introducing me to Public Service Broadcasting via the HI podcast - very much enjoying their music

Brady and J. Willgoose Esq, After listening to the old H.I. podcasts, I finally realised that this was where I first heard of PSB. When I got back into vinyl last year, I had a vague recollection of PSB and picked up The Race for Space as my first album, and haven't looked back. The music is great, and I am still in wonder that the concept that I would have thought geeky and gimmicky has resulted in some of the best music I have heard in the last decade - and an extensive collection of the albums, singles, the EP and live recordings. So, just in case either of you happen to read this, I wanted to say thank you for my best moment of 2016!

I was just about to ragequit when I finally saw Keith was after all introduced on this episode.

He looks like the 11th Doctor lol XD

Honestly, so excited when I found out Keith was coming. YES!

I can already tell this will be my favourite video from my favourite Australian!

I am very late catching up on my favorite podcasts--and very late in coming to many of them at that. I have just listened to HI #87. It was a quick mention of Objectivity that made me look up this channel and watch some of the most popular videos here. All this so say: this video made me cry a little. Thank you for making thoughtful, interesting, touching, geeky and moving content on an internet that seems at times to gravitate away from such content. I am so genuinely grateful for you (and Grey) and the things you share.

This is SO COOL! I've got a friend who works as an engineer at SpaceX, and I'll definitely be sending this his way. Way to go Brady!

Whatch out Brady! Dake, from Veritake, has just created an email list! IT IS ON!

I brought the album after listening to the podcast. Probably my best purchase (musically).

I spent two nights in a hostel in Stockholm that in the 60ies was home to an aviation club and was visited by Gagarin, they had photos on the wall. My room was extremely tiny, measuring about 3.5 square meters, and has probably been converted from a bathroom. So there is a chance that I have slept in the exact place were the first man in space went to the toilet 50 years ago.

THANK YOU for producing these great videos! I've gone through and watched all 32 of them, look forward to seeing & learning more stuff!

TereshkOva is the correct way. And in "Sputnik" "u" should be pronaunced as "oo".

I found you through Smarter Every Day. I like your channel. Please keep up the authentic work.

It doesn't get any better than this!

suddenly Brady's fashion sense shoots up a 1000% by comparison.

Absolutely brilliant! Well done, Keith (and Brady, as well)!!!

I've never heard of this band but I really connect with that vibe. I, and my son, are huge Apollo nerds, so this was fun and I'm going to check out the band and their album. Thanks. Your videos never disappoint.

Gagarin was ridiculously photogenic indeed !

Valentina Tereshkova's signature at 6:46 is unusual. She usually signed as "Vtershi" or "Vterish" which is odd enough, but here it is "N. Vsherti". She scrambled the letters.

Never heard of PSB, but I'm definitely going to check them out later. J's geeky enthusiasm gets to me.

Just got the CD in the mail today. Loved it. Great stuff as usual Brady, and thanks for hooking me on a new band.

I can tell that Brady was fangirling in this episode! Great video! Cheers!

Well, they've got themselves another fan! Love the music, brings some sort of nostalgia over me, quite incredible. Amazing work, chaps, well done!

This is my favourite objectivity video! It must've been swell to meet half of PSB too!

One of your best videos Brady. Had to drop a comment in support.

might "launched in 1957" be why Brady thought "57 cm diameter" rather than 58?

Brady, perhaps you should start a podcast with J, it seems like you to get on quite well and you both obviously know what you're talking about!

For some reason the auto play feature has skipped like 8 episodes so I've had to come back and watch.

Hey Brady, I really love our world and its achievements regardless and it discusts me that my children haven't got a clue about our countries and worlds achievements that built the world they know.

The circuit diagram starts with a multivibrator (square wave oscillator) and the next stage looks like a filter and then a simple amplifier. My guess is that this would just beep when the button is held down.

If you'd put up a really good shot of that circuit diagram I bet you'd have a viewer put it together and find out if it indeed did produce the Sputnik beep! It didn't look very complicated at all, but I don't think there was a good enough shot to know what all the components were...

I honestly hope this channel never stops! But Brady I hope you're also doing Periodic Videos and the physics channel!

I heard them a day ago when destin shared a video where he said you sent him there video and that he loved it hahahaha ! Thanks to both of you

I smiled the whole video!

Fits like a hand-shaped hand coverer. EDIT: Speaking of which, Brady's seem to have disappeared a few minutes into this video.

Wow Brady I had never heard of them but this is really good music! I love the 70s/80s styled synths and pop, it's very nice easy listening! Love it! Also again a great film by you! Also love it, all those geeky objects!

This is a great video. Thanks for the tip on this band. I really like the Spitfire song. Not my usual taste in music but cool. I suppose after the first time I could get something done while listening but the footage is too cool. Brady you made me spend several hours this morning looking at videos.

Welp..looks like Public Service Broadcasting just got a new fan :) Love it!

Keith and J. are just like father and son

this is such a great album!

one complaint. You should have focused in and shown us Yuri Gagarin's signature better...we hardly saw it before you whisked it away !

I love how everything Russian is "soviet propaganda", while everything American is more like genuine presents to celebrate humanity's greatest achievements. It's as if the cold war never ended.

YAY! This was great for so many reasons

Beautiful.

someone raided their grandpas closet it appears

Beautiful model. Neat episode!

Great video Brady! Good on ya mate! Anybody tried to reconstruct the Sputnik circuit from the shown diagram? Better photo can be found on Brady's site.

this is my fav!! i like how brady is the expert this time. :--))

I wish they had shown the full electronic schematic that came with the Sputnik model. If I lived in England near the Royal Society I'd go and ask to see it so I could copy it either by hand or with a photocopier if it's allowed. It is probably, as they said, a circuit that replicate Sputnik's beeping but it would be fun to replicate (or more realistically re-design with modern transistors).

Damn! Brady you found them! please talk about this on Hello Internet!

Why didn't they cover the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. That was a very important part of the Space Race, I think. Because it marked the first international cooperative space mission. Not to mention the precedent of two political rivals working together for a common goal.

Ooooooh, looking forward to this one.

these videos are absolutely terrific, and best of all the boyish excitement over science and history comes through loud and clear, 5 by 5 you might say. it's just fantastic!

Awesome Brady!

Awesome band, thanks!

Perfectly done! Great concept and great editing!

I really liked this video! I'm glad my fave Tereshkova appeared too ;) I want to ask about visiting the Royal Society - can you really just go in there and casually ask to see some really valuable thing, and they'll just go down and bring it up to you?

Fantastic. Really enjoyed this.

I am back here from watching the objectivity episode with the Genesis rock.

From a fan of history,a fan of space stuff, a fan of Public Broadcasting Services and a fan of Brady Haran's videos; thanks for putting this up, I love it! Just one question: can someone explain the "Esq" to me? Isn't that a bit old-fashioned? Or maybe not? Thanks!

This was really nice :) Definetley giving them a listen!

I have got the physical CD and I love it

that poor guy is like, c...can't i *have* this? :'(

err, this video wasn't in my subscription list!! Glad I found it on reddit.

Another album to add to my collection. Keith's choices are brilliant. Was he a fan of PSB before the research was made for this video? Is it odd to say I'd be more impressed if he wasn't? :)

Wonderful stuff !!!

Keith is the kind of person I just would love to meet and talk to. He seems so damn interesting :D

Where else but a video like this would there be an argument over whether an object is 57 or 58 cm in diameter?

A pop star who is a geek I thought I would never see the day.

wonderful. ty.

I wish you'd shown a clearer picture of the schematic for the Sputnik model's "beep" circuit, as I'd like to try a build a replica of the circuit it and see what it sounds like. Is there any way I can get a legible copy of it?

But where's Wrigglesworth? :(. Great video by the way Brady

Brady and the Genesis Rock sounds like a band name

When is space traveling going to become a norm? Am I going to live till that? Coz I really want to go to the moon and mars.

Maybe a new video in order for their new album? Something about Coal and... ah Chemistry? Come on, it can happen Brady. Keith can find anything. :)

Has there ever been a pop star who wore a corduroy jacket and a bow tie?

Great video!

Maps!?! Give us more maps Brady.

good videos Brody. Very impressive. and I've purchased PSB's album and I really like it. may get many for gifts. (talking to you dad)

I wonder if the band has an Aelita, Polivoks or an EM-24?

If I can find that schematic, i'll build the circuit and see what it does.
