Best channel on RU-vid ever. We could find all this stuff but you, my friend, have so dexterously done it for us all. If I had some money I'd send you some. Bravo old chap. A million thank yous. My Man. Please keep it up. once I get some loot I'll buy you a beer or coffee. And in my humble opinion your voice is just fine. Thanks for all your work. D.
This is great timing. Just got home after a long rainy day, about to pop this on while I have a few beers and play some Shipbreaker and the theme couldn't be more perfect~ Thank you for all you do~
Back in the 70s people thought that we made it to the moon in 1969 we'll make it to Mars in the 80s or 2000 at the latest, and by the year 2020 we'll have made it out of our solar system.
Those things did happen via NASA and JPL on that timeline or faster, but with computer probes instead of manned capsules. Most people don't understand physics, relative distance, the limited time a human could remain healthy in low gravity in the 60s and 70s and the true cost of Apollo, Gemini, Mercury combined. The moon trip taking three men about a week round trip was all the USSR or US could achieve manned with post WW2 tech and relatively new spaceflight medicine. SkyLab, MIR and the ISS for 30 years were needed to extend human endurance or just write off planetary expedition as a human impossibility
@@STho205 I think the person doesn’t believe we went to the moon with Apollo by the way they said people believed we went to the moon in the 70’s. The problem as I see it is revisionist history and misinformation by people that weren’t alive at the time, they misquote the guy from NASA that said we had the technology to go to the moon but lost it that is kind of correct we out grew it it’s 1950’s 1960’s technically that is obsolete hasn’t been used in over a generation, Apollo used manufacturing processes that haven’t been used in decades and the skilled labor is gone, the computer technology now Digital microchip technology that is affected by radiation and magnetic fields far more than the Analog transistor technology of the 60’s, because of the computer systems we must protect the computers 150% something we didn’t have to do with Apollo or the ISS or the Shuttle. The Moon Landing Hoaxers always say why haven’t we gone back in 50 years if it was so easy to go back then. The answer is simple we didn’t have any more Apollo spacecraft, congress has reduced NASA funding drastically most funding was going to the Space Shuttle program. Today we are going back to the Moon to stay as a waypoint to Mars plus we have had 50 years to analyze the rocks and soil that was brought back by Apollo we have made some discoveries that would make a settlement more possible.
It seemed plausible at the time. Perhaps, if the political will had continued, we would have the scientific moon base and first mars landing by now. But manned space expansion is very, very expensive - without the great rivalry of superpowers, there's no political justification for spending so much public money.
That was a logical conclusion given how quickly we had advanced until then. What, just under 44 years from the Wright brothers until Yeager broke the sound barrier? But scientists underestimated how craven politicians are, and how unable to grasp the societal benefits of space travel, so consider the money spent “wasted.” Read “Spinoff” I think it’s called by Robert Heinlein in “Expanded Universe.” It’s also a hell of a lot more expensive to travel 60 million miles to Mars than 250,000 miles to the Moon. Too bad, they’ll always be justifications for squandering funds on bread and circuses and graft here at home, but I hope someday we make it to the planets, then eventually out of the solar system. Someday.
The first video still holds true for me....just knowing there's landers crawling around on Mars and other craft exploring the solar system makes me look forward to what amazing things we'll encounter.....
These old movies show some guy looking through a huge telescope. That was the popular image but mostly didn’t happen. The telescopes were mainly used to take time exposure photos of the night sky for study later. The human eye in real time could not register the very faint light of distant stellar objects that required time exposures maybe taking hours to see.
The German science fiction film is stunning composite photography for the era. In some scenes it surpassed well loved scenes from film and TV into the 60s and even some poor attemots in the 70s or Buck Rogers 1980s.
Found this at the perfect time. Currently we just launched SLS on Monday and at the moment Orion is headed towards the moon. SpaceX has just conducted the first 14 engine test. The next few months will see huge progress in space exploration.
You know what you do a good job of, but's probably under-appreciated? Levels. Balancing the audio. Even if it's just one extra click, it makes a huge difference. Thanks. 👍
We are in space it does not begin 50 miles away when we drive we move from one parking space to another. When we move we move from one space to another, everywhere is in space.
There is content on the web; apparently a model kit of the ship was even sold at one time, and Shapeways has a miniature available by Artimation. The film is a 1937 German production entitled Weltraumschiff I Startet (Spaceship 1 Launches).
I dont understand any German, but from what I just saw, the Germans had the space shuttle idea before us gringos? If they did, htf did they lose after that? 😁
False, for the Ancient Greeks proved earth was round thousands of years ago. Plus every other planet is round, including Mars (which used to be just like earth at one point). Pattern recognition ensues.
And I saith though ye and thy others would be content crawling within the muck and the vermin, ye shall learn to build high towers 500 cubits and more and thus learn to be the LORD ye imagined.
