History of Rockets and Spaceflight - ASMR Story for Sleep

For tonight, I take you on a journey to explore the long road to space exploration, from the creation of the first rockets almost 1,000 years ago to the space race of the Twentieth Century. We will go through the launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, the flight of Yuri Gagarin, the Gemini Program and its records, Project Apollo and the first Moon landing, the space stations and shuttle programs, all the way to the present. I will also tell you a little about some of the fathers of spaceflight like Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Robert Goddard or Wernher von Braun.

I’m finally going to introduce my son to ASMR with this video. He loves space everything. He is on the autism spectrum. This will help him calm down and got to bed. Thanks

[@MrTwincam316]

Best of luck to you and your son. (My nephew is autistic so understand a little bit about your journey)

[@chixdighueyz]

Should visit Huntsville AL one day and take him to the rocket museum :D

[@desert_holly]

What a PERFECT idea! Absolutely great first video. I hope he finds this interesting and soothing 💚

[@derp195]

I'd recommend John Michael Godier too. Not intentionally ASMR, but it definitely exists in a similar sphere, and it's all about astronomy, seti, the fermi paradox, etc.

[@Arcexey]

d33rex sounds like magic. =)

[@ketsu6100]

I just want to comment that your thumbnails are great. They’re all extremely pleasing to look at and it’s clear you theme the elements like the text with images and you try to find images that elicit the correct feeling for the video. It’s also really useful that each one is so distinct so that when I’m scrolling through your videos my tired brain can easily tell which one is which without having to read or analyse the thumbnails. Thank you for all your effort.

[@kimberlys4075]

I am a Sleep Coach and I recommend this channel at least five times a week.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks for that!

[@jondonnelly4831]

Have you got any idea why i keep having exciting dreams, sometimes i wake up more tired than when i went to bed. The things i've seen are amazing. I've seen WW3 begun. I've been on Orient Express, I've been Wild Swimming but I pay a high price for this. Also I find in dreamland driving a car is difficult, so is using a computer or reading but somethings are much easier like anything physical is almost weightless. Cheers. Oh yeah last night i attended a gilbert osullivan concert. Thats a singer i count not name one song off, decades before my time and a genre i dont even like but truly the most impressive perfomance and emotional. When i mean attend, it was all a dream.

[@MiMicheIIe]

The funny thing is that I know these videos are for sleep - but they're wonderful to help me focus on my work too! This is all genuinely very interesting to listen to, and I feel like I'm getting smarter while I work.

[@Kyr.]

Finally I'm allowed to fall asleep while I learn stuff. School would have been so much nicer with a French Whisperer teaching all my lessons and saying ' don't worry if you fall asleep...there are timestamps...if you want to come back later....' Now I can fall asleep and learn without taking out loans. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[@vicjo478]

I hear you my friend. This wonderful gentleman has taught me more in a few months of discovering him than all of those long wretched days of school. He is absolutely marvelous.

[@matthewjohnson257]

I’ve been a nightly listener going on half a year now, I love the new stories you put out and the consistency at which you do. I just wish they were released on Spotify in quicker succession. Thank you for all you do and keep up the amazing work!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks! Me too, about Spotify. I have already sent all the last stories for release including this one, but it takes ages and I don't know when they will be released at this point.

[@jamierennie817]

I AM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU. You have a wonderful collection of stories and although i am sad i hav'nt came across you until today , it also means i have a great chance to do some catching up. I have this feeling i've just found my favourite channel on KZbin. Wishing the best , good health and happiness to you and your loved ones. Now my journey in to the realm of ASMR begins....

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Welcome!

[@chixdighueyz]

Watching with love from Huntsville, AL, aka Rocket City

[@ericayotte9567]

Sir French Whisperer- The visuals on this one..the integration of the stars is so astonishingly beautiful .. I don’t know what to say. It’s like describing the universal love and grace felt in a near death experience. Heaven.

Thank you so much for all these videos, sleepless nights awake with insomnia. This is the only channel that helps me relax. Again I can't thank you enough, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

Amazing calm informative video. Thank you

Thank you so much for all your effort, sensitivity, and your soothing voice. We need more of this now, and less politics, for sure ❤❤❤

[@katthompson3852]

University exam today... 2hrs trying to get to sleep before listening. Start this ... Bam! the alarm has gone off. Thank you so much!

[@ApocalypseStyle]

I've been watching asmr since before it was called asmr. Since the dawn of youtube. Ive watched every channel worth watching, I think, and I feel well qualified to say that this is probably the best asmr channel extant. It's impossible to overstate just how good these videos are. So well researched, excellent audio, the best. Your voice is so good man.

[@mysteryasmr13]

Ce serait un immense plaisir d'entendre cette vidéo en Français ! Ça nous manque vraiment énormément !

[@alrox9527]

I don’t speak French and I agree!

[@raikocaesar]

Your videos are always so pleasing, never failing to relax and educate. Thank you very much!

[@GeritDriessen]

Such a beautiful voice, calming timbre and pace. You are doing a great job and make me happy with your projects. Thanks!

[@ScullyPopASMR]

Incredible production!

[@eRHa9000]

[@slayo710]

This is great I love all your informational content. Learn a little something and relax 😴

[@larisssf]

Thank you again for your amazing content

[@audreycarlson5815]

Another masterpiece!

[@angiemariam1397]

Love these videos

[@dylanwalsh2574]

I doubt this upload was intentionally aligned with the Starfield direct but it's a cool coincidence.

[@TheSammami]

I love the space stories ❤️😌

[@Matt9Xx]

Amazing video 🎉

[@AbbySmithVSVEVG]

❤🚀

[@brian7168342]

another amazing upload! your collection and presentation of data is always impressive and relaxing 😌 if you are looking for topics, i would love to hear about the history of mechanical power sources 🙂 from more primitive sources such as windmills and watermills, through modern sources such as engines which consume fuel

[@YeahhDan]

Oh I just know this one is going to be a banger 🙌🏼

[@benjamindover4337]

Excellent

[@TerroristSquadx1]

Good gift beforr sleep!

[@ktulenko]

Hooray!!

[@michalsalekcz]

An artist indeed.

[@hoffenwurdig1356]

Katyusha was not the official name for the World War 2 system, nor is it the official name for its somewhat similar successor systems. The original WW2 system was marked with the letter K as a code reference to indicate which factory was responsible for production, and the term can be translated as "Katie", derived from a Russian song about a girl awaiting her beloved soldier's return. I understand that it is not hard to recognize the distinctive firing sounds made by these systems. Soyuz can be rendered as “Collective” or “Alliance.” Salyut can be rendered as “Salute." Vostok can be rendered as “East.” Mir can mean the world, or it can mean peace, or it can mean a small autonomous community.

[@EvilDuck81400]

Vivement le retour des vidéos en Français tu manque a la communauté francophone !

[@mysteryasmr13]

Oui ! Tu nous manques beaucoup trop ! Il FAUT que tu reviennes en Français !

[@AstroChildLabs]

🚀💕 thank you

[@iceking8982]

Hey I have watched a lot of your videos and I love your work would it be possible to get and episode on the Sumerians about there kings and basic info keep up the amazing work

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I made one called the Epic of Gilgamesh which has some information about Sumer in case you did not see it

[@khadijamurtaza-nc8re]

Nice video

[@carlyleredstone9620]

Hell yeah space hands .

[@ColinBrain]

4:44 - Nice pun ;)

[@tomwhitehead45]

Yaaaaaas

[@GermanEscobedo]

I wonder if he talks about Jack Parsons... I'll have to listen to it tonight.

[@desimo2686]

I have a suggestion, please add a mic so we can hear u caress the table and other things, it would add so much to your videos and i love gentle sounds like that. I know it'll probably be different from all your other videos but maybe give it a try? Its frustrating for my brain to see you make these gentle sounds but i can't hear them😩 ive been a long time subscriber but I'm not a frequent listener for this reason. thank you for all the hard work you put in your videos!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I tried it once in a video called "all about tea". Not recording the sounds has been a deliberate choice after reading comments and doing a poll: a majority of viewers don't actually watch the videos, they just listen. So these sounds would be a bit disturbing to them.

[@BelleMichele99]

helo my friend ❤❤❤❤

Can you do a video on shinto taoism and tengrism

[@Nico-yi3ev]

Por favor vuelve a hacer alguna en español 😢

[@SapientPearwood]

What a wonderful tour of my favorite topic! I work at NASA on spacecraft and launch vehicle propulsion, so I obviously have a deep passion for space exploration and a bit of an outsized knowledge of it's history, present, and potential future. I think this is an excellent tour of the major moments, and of course delivered in your excellent and characteristic ASMR style. Sometimes I get nervous about consuming content related to areas I know a lot about (not really sure why, but it's definitely a thing). But this video was a pleasure to watch, well done!
