Getting awfully close to the edge of your flat earth. Let me know if you need help the rest of the way. Since you don't believe in gravity either, you'll be fine.

They are two of my favorites, but I would also make a special case for "All There Is" Instead of a stressful flight under the scrutinizing eyes of history, it becomes best buddies going on the adventure of a lifetime and having loads of fun doing it <3

During my years at the Michigan Space & Science Center These episodes of Galileo was correct and Spider were shown to the space camp attendees. Apollo 9 & 15 Had Jackson,Michigan astronauts. James McDivitt Apollo 9 commander. Alfred Worden Apollo 15 command module pilot. Plus we had the Apollo 9 command module “Gumdrop” as the centers primary exhibit. This really was a unique experience for all that attended MS&SC over the years.

For me, its a toss up between this episode, Spider, and All There Is (the Apollo 12 episode). I will say though, reusing the Spider theme for this moment was definitely a good call

Sorry, go back to your video games

This is the best tom hanks driven tv series

Bad how? In what way is this bad? Showing clips of not only this wonderful miniseries, but also promoting the history of spaceflight is exactly what the algorithm SHOULD be doing

Totally badd. Overdramatic hanks woke lefty bs. Silver said himself it was overdramatic. Im a space science professor.

It's reinforcing your views and comments. Hint Hint.

RIP Professor Silver. He will always be known as “The Astronaut’s Teacher” 😢

they filmed him doing a tribute solo for the dvd extras, but he can't really play it's not worth hearing

Define "Hollywood"... We need to start being more specific about who we criticize. Hollywood employs thousands. Also, movies and shows are not documentaries. "Artistic license"

@@kbanghart When you make a show that is supposed to be telling historical events, you have to respect the history. You don't get to say "Movies and shows are not documentaries" over something that essentially IS. That being said, this episode walks the line well enough. Minor inaccuracies are no big deal, especially if its for the sake of holding the audience's attention and keeping them interested in the important event. The one episode I DO gripe on though is "We Interrupt This Program" which didn't just stray from history, it was 100% fictional. Yes, Apollo 13 happened, but NTC was not a real network, and Emmet Seabourn and Brad Hutchins were not real people,... so why should this historical series be focusing drama between fake newscasters in a fictional newsroom?

@@k1productions87 I agree with you on your comments about the Space Shuttle, SLS, etc. And that minor inaccuracies are ok. The rest I don't really agree with much. You see, what you described as having to "respect" the history, that's all subjective. And yes, there's a big difference between movies and docus. There's no statement in the series that claims we tried to make it as historically accurate as possible. There's no law stating movies have to have a certain percentage of accuracy, and who would decide that? It's a story BASED on real life. As for the Emmett Seaborn and the other character, I suspect he was created so that the producers could more easily film like normal and then age it to make it look like it was shot back in the 60s... instead of trying to CGI a historical figure too much. The NTC network... I don't even remember what that referred to. No big deal. I don't mind that a fictional character was written in for the news anchor. I urge you to check in with some folks in the industry for some more flavor about how it works. It's definitely NOT a perfect system, for sure. So anyway, we can agree to disagree on that.

@@kbanghart why would they need to use CGI? They didn't do that for any of the astronauts who looked nothing at all like their real life counterparts. Hell, Lane Smith could have just straight up played Walter Cronkite, and it would have been fine. If you need to create a fictional anchor in a fictional news network, that isn't really a problem. The problem is when you not only spend an entire episode on their drama that never actually occurred... but using the Apollo 13 episode to do so. There were more than enough potential stories they could have told with Apollo 13 that the movie never touched on. If you want to tell fictional stories, then focus your entire series on that. The Newsroom is a good example, and Jeff Daniels' character felt a bit like Emmett Seaborn in that show. It used history as a backdrop to tell the story of its characters. Perfectly fine. But if your goal is to show the astronauts, the engineers, the administrators, and the families of NASA... then it should stay as such. Hell, this one just occurred to me. As the crew of Apollo 13 were on a desperate race for survival, you could have used that opportunity to have Wernher Von Braun recall his race for survival in the final days of the war, and then his fight to get the powers that be in America to pay any attention at all to the idea of spaceflight. That part could come up when someone mentions how little people cared about going to the moon until lives were in danger. Fortunately we would see a dramatized version of Von Braun's story, coupled with Koralev's in a British-made miniseries called "Space Race". I just wish it was thought of in 98. We already had a Von Braun, but he only got a few minutes of screentime in a single episode

@@k1productions87 yeah, well movies and shows have the right to be as fictional or truthful as they want. If you want more accuracy, check out documentaries.

He's also the great-uncle of statistician Nate Silver, who we get to hear from every election

this sounds like a Weird Al origin story. lol

Honey we shink ourselves on the 🔭

Galileo strategy areas

Von Braun is featured in the earlier episodes.

that was fun

The title of the episode was "Galileo Was Right" and it was in reference to the moment on the Lunar Surface during Apollo 15 when they tested Galileo's theory that a feather and a hammer dropped on the moon would hit the ground at the same time. And sure enough, they did. thus proving Galileo was right.

@@k1productions87 Well if that’s the case…Galileo was RIGHT!! 👍🏻

Is there audio anywhere online from this?

What does "orbit" refer to?

"Why aren’t we showing this in schools!" Because each episode is longer than the periods for the class, from what I recall. Even with trimming the credits and intro... the teacher would basically not be able to do anything else for class, and they'd need to start immediately. You'd probably only be able to play this for high school classes, maybe junior high, but that would mean also the unfortunate issue of people arriving late and interrupting. ... really, it'd also be dependent on convincing the school it was worth it instead of pumping students full of memorization so they could pass the tests. Because those test scores are what determine funding distribution for public schools, and how well-regarded private schools are. Seriously, the school system is kinda hobbled to the point where it's really difficult to fix it since there's so many parts which need to be fixed for it to work better. On top of that, there's the inertia of "well it's working, why mess with it?" from top administration... whether it actually IS working or not.

Unfortunate the US has degenerated into a mess that will never again match it’s prior accomplishments.
