worst thing about the controller is it was a wireless one thats not even good enough for gaming

I like your analysis of the sample at 7 and a half minutes in. Here's the flawed argument again, just applied to a setting that we're all more familiar with. The vast majority of car trips do not result in airbag deployment; therefore, cars don't need airbags. That makes it pretty evident immediately that EA's original analysis is incomplete (at best).

The way how I see it, the main issue with the Shuttle is its size. It was too big. Had it been smaller and only used to transport crew, it would've been fantastic. Launch payload ahead of the Shuttle launch date on its own rocket. Then you launch the astronauts on the smaller Shuttle to build the Space Station in space. Bring the astronauts home and job done. The Shuttle wouldn't carry any large cargo. Just necessities like food, water, and amenities for humans. I heard that was the original plan for the Shuttle by NASA but too many people put their hands in the pot and eventually the Shuttle got too big. A shame really

First things first: Really a great video, that really made a good slice over the Shuttle history and why it looked like that in the end. I agree, the Shuttle wasn't all good, I would have prefered to treat it as a flight prototype. Build two, fly them, gather experience, learn the quirks and things we didn't know before. And then build a better version. Maybe cheaper, maybe not, but at least better. And then go on to look if its really ready for treating it like a production ready vehicle to create a fleet of spacecraft which. The first try to build a manned, winged, reuseable spacecraft with its own spacecraft wharf inside mislabeled as payload bay obviously should have the pressure to be that. PS: What I didn't know until recently, the Shuttle actually had 6 AP-101B/S on board. There was an in flight spare on-board somewhere within the middeck in case a GPC failed. And considering the weight of these things, NASA must really put priority on making sure that the DPS works. In one mission, it was actually used to replace a broken GPC in orbit.

could it be that the ping pong ball simply is too porous to properly hold a pressure differential large enough to buckle it?

I was 5 years, 4 months, 8 days old when it happened, I remember seeing the explosion on the TV.

The worst thing about this video was listening to Reagan trying to sing.

Idk how small sounding rocket experience can be compared to launching a massive spaceplane But i must say, its fascinating and terrifiying how your mentality changes once you pronounce something "working" Suddenly you assume something wont break even if there are slight hints something is off, or there are still issues being worked on. Thats how we blew up the motor on one of the final tests, tbf partly due to design flaw, but mainly because of our decisions

2ghz in 1980's?

Could do more. Id like a heater and a emergancy float to rise fast also a generator.

Top Gun was an old movie, but Americans are very narcissistic and like to show off stuff. As they ended up being untalented people, they are digging the past for old movies and now they call them "classics".

40:04 risky to use a pen here 🤣

Meh. I'd go. Everyone's threshold for risk is different. I've achieved almost everything I ever wanted to in life, so let's roll the dice! (just don't tell my wife hahahahaha)

While watching,the part of your hypothetical BOP story that jumped out to me was the certification part. There’s no way there’s not IEC this and ISO that on a rig. 61508 or 13849 or something.

Space,they say,is made in a Hollywood basement. Keidis,the nineties! Sweet dreams.

The Boeing guy that did the review sadly committed suicide.

Best video you've released thus far IMO. Tatarchenko's models also look great, especially the thumbnail.

10/10 very kerbal

I got elite dangerous several years ago and enjoyed it, but I never knew it had a predecessor so similar, yet different (and influential)

Bushman's cave!

I was waiting for you to talk about the risk forecasted before it was built: 2% loss rate. We lost 2 out of 135 flights.

So tge only moving part is the pump that flows and vaporizes molten liquid lithium 😂

this looks like a problem that will solve itself. and make the world a better place.

Could a heat pump be efficient at both cooling the nitrogen and heat the lythium at once? I suppose theres no such sources of onboard electric power on these vessels

Knowing nothing about rockets i thought "if what you need is gas expansion would the intense temperature od a reactor be efficient enough to make a rocket?" While watching this and i looked it up and its a real concept and apparently some efficient, i wonder why its not used 🤓☝️(catastrophic failure leading to fallout lol)

There is no Shuttle vs Buran debate. One existed, the other never flew.

Reagan, blessed may be his name.

The shuttle was amazingly capable and a technological marvel It was also fundamentally flawed and unsafe

But man you have to understand. The competent people were hwiiiiiite

"Can it run Doom?" "Oh, yes, it most definitely can."

Coming from an audio guys perspective, I would guess beryllium was used for its unique combination of high stiffness and low mass, plus the fact that it’s really good at damping high frequency and thus would make the system less susceptible to feedback from vibration. Beryllium is used exactly for these reasons in über high end tweeter cones

I love your stuff! “Made a deal” haha. We didn’t have independence from Britain until 1986 ;) ❤😂

Ngl as a fellow Englishmen your pronunciation of shuttle was a bit grating on me haha. Amazing video though! Ok seriously are you aware of the letter T 😂

Alot of heart & passion you put into this video. One of the best KZbin videos I have watched. Love you work mate. Thank you & look forward to future videos from you...

825 days since the three day “military operation” started

Can you provide more detail on your claim the shuttle was the first aircraft to fly with Fly-by-wire? The F-16 first flight was 1974, while Enterprise first flew in 1977. So at face value shuttle wasn’t first, but I’m sure you knew this and am interested in the nitty gritty details about the FBW development process that makes you say shuttle was first.

metric is fine. those who don't understand it are doomed. its simple, and standardized. once you learn your reference frames, its great to use. (this is coming from an american)

At 24:44 thank you for saying “US Units” instead of Imperial. We Yanks have never used your imperial system, outside of ordering pints in British pubs. So refreshing to hear this done eight.

Aiming a missile at a target 8000km away with a sniper scope lmao

Turns out co2 in lage quantitys,in the Atmosphere are exactly the problem that we thought in the 60s:)❤

16:45 if you spoke about it for an hour, I would sit through it for an hour. And then another hour, with a notepad, probably.

Awww... no memes Still great video! Also cool to listen to your own experience - kinda wish there was more of it

I know that we're not the same country.We used to be but Us in america can do whatever we put our minds to

I’d say anything pertaining to the Titanic is cursed at this point.

Absolutely incredible video! Very high quality information, perspective, and production. Thank you for your unique and informed perspective. You sir, earned yourself a subscriber without a doubt!
