Has Anyone Been LOST IN SPACE? I James May Q&A Extras I Head Squeeze

[@jaggedsigns3O11]

I feel like i could watch james for hours just talking about things, he calms my nerves.

[@sillysad3198]

+Hugh G. Erichawn same with Richard Dawkins. Britain is rich of calming narrators.

[@lukef4166]

Him and Attenborough are my heroes to be honest. Both full of knowledge and infinitely engaging.

[@acrefray]

There are some exceptions from the British accent. Morgan Freeman for example. Or Aziz from History of Westeros.

[@ododargo]

hi thx for the vids carl sagan had a nice voice

[@GoTeamSunny]

Brian Blessed has the blessed voice

[@VaeVictisXIII]

He's just so down to earth, a normal guy despite his success! love it, during the Jeremy Clarkson crap he was bring out tea to the press by his house etc. Just such a lad!

[@Wings_of_foam]

Because he is not American.

[@ShadowAkatora]

4:44 - _Ground control to Captain slow.._

[@KanishQQuotes]

ShadowAkatora Skeletor to king randor

[@CarsMutley1995]

Captain Sense of Direction, ends up in orbit... "Oh what a pillock"

[@Mars_junior]

headphone warning at 4:21. audio takes a jump right after that for some reason.

[@justinhamilton8647]

Oh god thanks

[@sianwarwick633]

The sound gradually petered out a minute before that, do you could barely hear anything.

[@MatiProbably]

These are better than the actual videos. :)

[@jadenkhor]

James made a good point. It's not the fear of heights , rather, a fear death after falling from a great height. Interesting.

[@DavidvdGulik]

i like that about James, everybody always seems to forget about Michael Collins

[@ZER0--]

When astro/cosmonauts come back from long missions in space they occasionally forget that they're back on earth, and drop things because in space if they let go of an object it will stay where it is. Just don't let them hold a baby.

[@JeatonThe]

Could you start linking these at the end of the original videos? That would be handy.

[@KeremKaratasKeremshanti]

It is good to know that being in a restrictive state is not disliked by James May.

[@kacperstick]

4:19 AAAAAAND shitch to mono!

[@chinaman1]

mono, mono, mono, mono, mono, mono, mono, STEREO!

[@BRE3ZYE]

I came down to the comments looking for this to make sure my speakers weren't garbage.

[@LeonardoBruno54]

Jesus, I read this and it became stereo immediately.

[@JonatasAdoM]

Reminded me about the Reassembler. Beethoven... STEREO!

[@poisonhemlock]

You mentioned the sky viewing app, pointing your tablet at the stars and having unseen details highlighted for you in real time. I wonder if, when space tourism becomes commonplace, a similar Earth viewing app will be available that will recognize geographic features of our planet and then map out cities, landmarks, demographics, real time news stories....

[@bondmode]

His voice, his shirts, his humour. I don't know what I love most

[@Kralperri]

Great video! It's interesting to listen to James just answering these questions like this!

[@swiper1818]

Excellent Vid Captain Slow! The series is very well thought out with intelligent and educational questions and answers. Three thumbs up as Siskel and Ebert used to say

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

The Ray Bradbury short story 'Kaleidoscope' deals with a group of astronauts who've been ejected from their exploding spacecraft, and have to deal with the sudden pointlessness of everything as they're left helplessly hurtling through space...

[@Asimov16]

you can get vertigo in space. You can also get vertigo on the ground. Vertigo is a condition in the ear where the liquid in the ear causes a dizzy sensation. The fear of hieghts is really acrophobia.

[@WollyChaps]

I would LOVE to see James May play a bit of Kerbal Space Program.

[@Admiral8Q]

Apollo 2? James, Apollo 2-6 were unmanned test missions. Actually, Apollo 2 and 3 took place before the fire on Apollo 1 that killed the crew.

[@twocvbloke]

I can just imagine Clarkson going off into space, he'd just go "Poweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer" and then end up breaking orbit and have no fuel left to get back... :P

[@TheDoubleBee]

I like the idea of my corpse being an irritation while orbiting the Earth. Plus, you can moon the entire Earth. :D

[@MrZhilvinas]

more like half of it... at a time :D

[@Admiral8Q]

Well, half the Earth at one time, but with a FULL moon at least, heh!

[@Admiral8Q]

You just cracked me up!!! Moon the moon for eternity!

[@charlesfawcett4178]

if you fell of the ISS you would not orbit forever, surprisingly quickly the very outer atmosphere would slow you down and decay your orbit to a point where you would burn up in the atmosphere. This is why satellites need engines if they plan to stay in orbit for any reasonable period of time. There are actually graphs around that show the ISS height and how it needs to perform burns to stay in orbit.

[@ooglefluffg857]

Has anyone noticed that the like bar is a blue lightsaber now?

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

I miss the bar it made it a lot easier to do a % working on videos.

[@mimistar1427]

To clarify and to stop perpetuating the incorrect definition of vertigo, please note that vertigo is a type of dizziness and refers to a false sensation that oneself or the surroundings are moving or spinning (usually accompanied by nausea and loss of balance) that is a result of a mismatch between vestibular, visual, and somatosensory systems. Vertigo is often incorrectly used instead of acrophobia, which actually is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. It belongs to a category of specific phobias, called space and motion discomfort that share both similar etiology and options for treatment. Vertigo can be experienced due to acrophobia, but is to clarify VERTIGO is NOT the fear of heights, which is ACROPHOBIA.

[@ToastPixel]

Wow cool no one cares

[@mimistar1427]

+PixelToast looool

[@dojohansen123]

He was in a U2 in James May On The Moon, so yes. At 70 000 feet. Technically he is an astronaut...

[@AsboJunior]

To be an astronaut you have to go to space. Space is a vacuum. Planes don't work in a vacuum, therefore, James is not an astronaut.

[@acehardy3629]

AsboJunior as·tro·naut ˈastrəˌnôt/ noun noun: astronaut; plural noun: astronauts a person who is trained to travel in a spacecraft. Not only do you not have to have been to space, you don't even have to have been in a spacecraft, simply received the training and passed and tests and be allowed to travel on one.

[@ktxed]

earth's been lost in space since forever

[@briandang236]

The background music is amazing

[@DoubleXmagnum]

I started spacing out.

[@anomalyp8584]

We should get some money together to put James in Orbit and include his flight path in an app

[@JonatasAdoM]

You either won't get vertigo or you will live in vertigo considering you're always in motion. Imagine being seasick but in space.

[@Alendo]

5:17 typical James xD

[@benlariviere372]

What about the Apollo mission (13 I believe) where their instruments failed and they had to use a wrist watch and other bits laying around to calculate how to home and safely re-enter at that ?

[@Ajax1984]

First off, it was the engineers on the ground that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts. The astronauts would of been screwed if they hadn't had support from Houston. Secondly, Apollo 13 was a lot more than instruments failing. There was an explosion, the oxygen tank in the service module went boom/become non-functional. The only reason they survived is because they moved into the lunar module, using it as a lifeboat as they headed to the moon/went around it Then once they approached earth they go back into the command module, got rid of both the Service/Lunar modules and came home.

[@evildeed90s]

does the woman behind the camera even know what shes meant to be doing. i felt the awkwardness a few times james had to keep speaking to break the silence

[@TomTheSaintsGuy]

+0reaver01 Yeah, glad I'm not the only one who noticed...

[@Bastacat]

+0reaver01 I think the problem is that May just sometimes keeps on going and going..then pauses for few seconds and on he goes again :D The girl is the instigator for action,May is the action at hand...the problem is that he has bad latency,so at times it might take a while to compute whether the action needs to be ''reinstigated'' or if it's just....lag.

[@SouravDhar1988]

What is the track name of the background music at 2:43?

[@FriedEgg101]

I think floating in space with the earth below me would terrify me. The closest thing I can think of is looking down when in deep water and that terrifies me.

[@MartijnMuller]

Speaking of my experiences with Virtual Reality, I would think that a having a fear of heights doesn't really come into play when you do a space walk. I wouldn't say I have a fear of heights, but I do feel my primal instinct reacting to it (maybe I'm just good at suppressing it). And in a few 'terrestrial height' VR scenario's I did notice a bit of that, but when I tried a space walk simulator, any sense of vertigo is just completely gone. It is the most Zen experience I've ever had, just floating around.

[@Kaaxe]

+Martijn Muller while puking

[@slickrick3010]

4:50 onwards was so morbid but hilarious xD

[@MrKDilkington0]

James May looks very similar to former Scorpions drummer Herman Rarebell during the 80's or early 90's.

[@yeaExtraa]

When floating in space you could probably still have problems with heights, it is supposed to give a sensation of freefalling rather than floating.

[@Abrerrant]

yeah he mentioned Australia! isn't the fear of hight's the fear of being high up not the sensation of being high? so just the thought of being high up makes them scared not the actual sensation of hight like when you're standing near the edge of a cliff?

[@ikkeheltvanlig]

WARNING! Movie Spoiler alert! Don't watch past 5:40 if you can't handle it.

[@arisukak]

You do feel gravity in space. There is gravity everywhere. When you're in orbit you're still feeling 90% of Earth gravitational pull. So you're actually falling towards Earth, you're just going so fast that you keep missing the Earth. You're basically in a perpetual state of freefall.

[@samdf96]

Agreed, I caught that too, when he said there is no gravity haha

[@Admiral8Q]

You are being pulled by gravity, yes, but you don't feel it because you are falling. ;)

[@Coppertunes]

He said 'without the sensation of gravity'

[@hailgod1]

You don't feel gravity in space. There is however, gravity. What james said is that there is no sensation of gravity in which he is correct.

[@hailgod1]

HailgodMC Rather than space, i meant orbit.

[@RMoribayashi]

If you become untethered from the ISS you just wait 90 minutes until you float back to it when your orbits re-cross. That wouldn't really be necessary in a US space suit because it has an emergency manoeuvring unit on the backpack to give you a push in just such an emergency. I don't know if the Russians have that feature on their suits.

[@Victorioushunter]

dont worry. they have a rope to lasso back into spaceship

[@ianashmore9910]

* That we know of. I propose that if they did lose someone early on, they wouldn't have told us.

[@Judgment89]

How do you scratch your nose or back while wearing a space suit? One of my biggest concerns regarding spacewalks.

[@zi9a]

What is the name of the music on the background!

[@andresmlinar]

he's brilliant :)

[@robertferguson3023]

A comment on the production values: The volume's inconsistent. Is May that difficult to plan for in terms of gain?

[@Ajax1984]

Apollo 2?! Apollo 1 James, Apollo 1!

[@rigtjeh]

HOW IS THE APP CALLED WHICH HE IS TALKING ABOUT AT 04:59????@!!!

[@Nightsd01]

If an astronaut were to become unhooked from the ISS they would actually burn up in the atmosphere after a few years. The ISS is quite high, but there's still enough atmosphere up there that it slowly loses speed (and altitude). This is why the ISS regularly performs "boost burns" to raise its orbital altitude. A dead astronaut would have no such luck and would plummet rather quickly.

[@Sorenle72]

Hmm... If I knew for certain that I'd die at a specific time... I think I'd like to "be lost" in space for a few hours before that and then slowly fall asleep...

[@Ricardo87bravo]

Hello Head squeeze... What are the similarities and differences between space suits and underwater suits?? Besides the cost.. Are there still fabricating underwater suites like in the movies???

[@hart-of-gold]

One of the very few times you will hear the name Micheal Collins and not the names of the "other two".

[@MrClamson]

+Hart Poole Hoping for it in a quiz, myself.

[@thebatzinator]

James orbiting the earth was a funny bit. :)

[@_Dandy_S]

I got to talk to an astronaut who was on the ISS. he said for a long time it just feels like you are permanently falling.

[@jorenheit]

Well, you are.

[@_Dandy_S]

+Joren Heit yea, but I never really thought of it feeling like that.

[@PalStanleyFan1]

KZbin doesn't work anymore...

[@9ibbi]

You rock

[@MastersDrums]

where do i find this space walk footage?

[@charlesfawcett4178]

if you fell of the ISS you would not orbit forever, surprisingly quickly the very outer atmosphere would slow you down and decay your orbit to a point where you would burn up in the atmosphere. This is why satellites need engines if they plan to stay in orbit for any reasonable period of time. There are actually graphs around that show the ISS height and how it needs to perform burns to stay in orbit.

[@pwnchip]

what is that app he was talking about?

[@pwnchip]

lanmancz thank you, sir :)

[@karkuri]

star chart actually. Its available on both ios and android. It'll track the sky base on ur gps location and date of time so the sky on the screen would actually change in real time. The iss tracking function james mention is the paid version though, the free version is the just sky, constelation and basic solar system but its worth paying for the full version.

[@bhuni]

Why are some people's second toes longer than the first one? (also I would love to wear one of the t-shirts with Mr. May's face on it if it's possible, thank you)

[@DJLad16]

What's this ISS video they were on about?

[@RangerHouston]

Idk about y'all but I'd love to be the first person lost in space. Just floating off into the void to eventually peacefully go to sleep and then die while unconscious due to asphyxiation.

[@Rizhiy13]

Actually you won't be in space forever if you started in low earth orbit, since there is still quite a bit of air up there so you will eventually fall back down, because of the drag. ISS loses about 10 km of altitude every year because of drag.

[@DonWoschto]

Why did you mess up the channels? ^^

[@The55five5]

What happens to a dead body in space? I wouldn't think they would decompose in a space suit...

[@karkuri]

Decomposition is done by microbes and bacterial, if ur dead body is fully expose to space u will not rot u will not decompose, however if u r dead while inside the space suit then it depends on how sterile it is.

[@ItsJakeTheBrake]

karkuri even if the suit is sterile, the body is not.

[@karkuri]

Jay K I forgot to take into account the microbes in ur body, so ur right in that regards but it all depends on the suit really. U will decompose so long as the suit can maintain an environment for the microbes to thrive. The moment the suit fails then the microbes will be on borrowed time and would die from extreme temperature.

[@ArcturusMinsk]

Well, you'd be cooked and frozen at the same time, bloat up to almost double your size and partly decompose from internal bacteria. Also, you'd be zooming over head every 90 minutes assuming you're in the same orbit as the ISS when you kick the space bucket.

[@benlariviere372]

I'd imagine the vacuum the cadaver was in would keep it in prestine shape. However I'm not a scientist or astrophysicist or and ist of any sort

[@xISparkzy]

to be fair the astroaughts who landed on the moon were told that they may not be able to get off the moons surface and may be stuck there to either suffocate when their o2 ran out or kill themselves. and they still went knowing that.

[@Bushdad89]

God i love watching James, crack up.

[@adamfrbs9259]

James takes space ride....becomes first man in space with paisley shirt.

[@DaanBrandt]

Probably you fall apart in basic mocules and atomes but would your suit also fall apart or will you be traped in your suit for eternity?

[@mrscary3105]

We all float down here!

[@Ryvucz]

I would volunteer to be left in space, to be lost without gravity and die from asphyxiation.

[@TytoProductions]

Some Russian cosmonauts, I believe three, went wrong and were left to drift. It happened during the space race and there were no reports of accidents, but there were no reports saying they'd returned. They were all individual incidents. On was based on a fire, another a slow decompression and the other merely drifted away... I think.

[@TheNavalAviator]

michael collins was in the space ship which was made for returning into atmosphere. If the eagle had failed to take-off from the moon he would have been the only one to return to earth.

[@xtrada0303]

Doesn't one of the apolo missions mention something about a dead Russian spaceman seen dead on the moons surface, as they said they found his little shuttle thingy and found him a few meters away from it. As I have heard the Russians where very experimental with space things and as soon as an idea came they tried it

[@millitron3666]

+xtrada HALE You mean like in the movie Apollo 18? That was just a movie; never actually happened.

[@ajwasp]

What was that space app James was talking about?

[@bryanpichardo6251]

ajwasp sky guide

[@ajwasp]

Bryan Pichardo thanks man, :-)

[@RichardDrinkPepsi]

You're going to use another mic the next time? It feels like a low quality microphone. Great video but the sound was a bit distracting to me :(

[@leenevin8451]

what app is this James is talking about?

[@chhavimanichoubey9437]

Why james may is going towards my right ear after half of the video😂

[@MultiReptor]

ISS is in a low orbit. You wold slow down from impacting an increasing amount of molecules and go down fairly soon I think. Can someone calculate how long it would take to come down from a 386km orbit (man in space siut) starting at balance speed?

[@MultiReptor]

james franklin​ I looked up a basic calculation and based on a 75kg man in a 75kg siut with an average surface area of 0.5-1.0m2 orbiting at 386km he would re enter after 2-4years. (Orbit decay calculator)

[@sillysad3198]

this orbiting corpse story resembles the "green boots" on mount Everest. tourists there use corpses as landmarks for decades.

[@manuelg8050]

If one astronaut is left in space he or she would go round and round forever. Since even in 400 km above ground, where the ISS orbits, there is still some bits of atmosphere left which would slow the astronaut down over time. With slower speed the astronaut will lose height and eventually burn up in the atmosphere...

[@amandajeanscott]

What about the lost cosmonauts though??

[@MrRolnicek]

I can finally comment now! I couldn't ever since the rubbish update. (not even when I did link the accounts)

[@medwatt]

For some reason when I hear the word 'claustrophobia' I immediately feel claustrophobic but I'm not claustrophobic.

[@fizzicist7678]

well if you were kept in orbit where the ISS is, you'd probably be a fireball by 2060...

[@01975Scorpio]

There is a rumor that a Russian cosmonaut was lost several months before Yuri Gagarin went up.

[@okkcomputer]

a few of them actually, Gagarin was not very confident about coming back to earth either. google this: Judica-Cordiglia brothers they intercepted radio comms from russian cosmonauts orbiting without having the chance to come back to earth

[@01975Scorpio]

I think I heard about that on a "Dark-5" video. Or rather I read about it. Dark-5 has no dialogue.

[@okkcomputer]

yeah probably,, i first heard of it on a Spansh paranormal tv show like 10 ys ago.. amazing

[@timsuur3089]

I believe there is actually a story about a russian rocket that came back to the earth at the wrong angle so it kind a bounced of the atmosfere, that thing is probably still somewhere

[@saraleahsands4389]

If James May were my dog, he would get a haircut.. However I think it's kinda neat he commemorates the early 70's by wearing that hippie wig.

[@MarCuseus]

*was

[@markomihajlovic7091]

MarCuseusFX *were for hypotetical situations.

[@TheVino3]

Are you insane? His hair isn't that long, and besides, long hair has never really been "out of fashion" totally. Plenty of people have always had long hair.

[@patrickroelant5171]

As far as we know, there is a rumor that the soviets didn't tell about people

[@SamuraiJACsr]

I thought that it was possible a cosmonaut was lost in space.

[@bonescripter]

"ohh there goes astralia" 3:40

[@alimalki659]

Hello guys I am still stuck in Blotto right now. If you are reading my comment please I need help to get back ASAP.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[@Hamatabo]

...mmm no..

[@RoM1il]

Has anyone been lost in space? Well technically everyone is.

[@debbiethemadbee]

"press-upskis"? Lol

[@Hitsyfication]

A russian press up xD

[@Arturo_S3]

If you don't decompose in space, could you be revived after having been dead for say 10 years? (Could your organs still function?)

[@augustproductions6737]

I guess this video pre-dates the Russian release on the Soviet space program, I recall reading about at least two, if not three, cosmonauts that drifted off and were subsequently erased from history

[@gdevonfarley]

Nice
