How a space suit almost killed me

[@JaredOwen]

Great video! I laughed out loud at a few of those pictures. Well done Tim.

[@brysonheslop4852]

Hi Jared love your videos

[@cypherdee5295]

I love how KSP takes more computing power to run then the entire Apollo space program

[@multiapples6215]

IKR? But hey, their computers only need to control and keep track of things meanwhile Ksp needs to do all that as well as render graphics and simulate physics

[@darkshadowsx5949]

The facebook app on your phone take more computing power than Apollo did.. computer tech back then was incredibly simple and limited compared to today's computers.

[@leeterthanyou]

It didn't have this stupid bent on for building "human-friendly" interfaces. Back in the Apollo era, you had to understand memory register addresses and how a computer works at its core (get it? core wire memory modules?) in order to provide any input. No circuit or subroutine was used for providing a fancy UI... No real controls aside from mission-imperative instructions... These computers were remarkable in their own respect for their simplicity and robust rigidity, flying in the face of technical challenges of the day (humans had never flown past the VARBs, so all we had to go on for systems design notes were what we were able to beam back via telemetry gathered on the first few unmanned lunar probes). It is just insane to think that concepts like the glass cockpit of the STS era were leaps beyond the original Apollo guidance and flight computers -- and fast-forwarding to the CrewDragon/Dragon2 control interfaces being touch-screen... I love Gordon Moore.

20:40 - Not just that.. when the Apollo 13 incident.. when Odyssey was coming back to earth about to do the reentry .. Russians shut down all their transmitters operating in frecuencies close to the ones involved in the Apollo 13 mission and ordered their ships in the paficic to be avalaible to help in the case the module would go off-way from the planed splash down and actually relocate their positions to posible splashdown sites would the Odyssey go off course

@@meezalamazala279 I'm sure that would go swimmingly for them and that the tiny bits of information that weren't already public would totally be worth the massive outrage over them kidnapping several US citizens involved in a highly publicised space mission

[@Zreknarf]

this was a pleasure to watch. i noticed a few nervous slip-ups, but you did a great job. hope you can afford the real $400,000 Apollo space suit some day.

[@christheother9088]

He seemed completely at ease and relaxed to me.

[@Zreknarf]

was mostly talking about the near death experience story at the start, i've heard the story a few times on his live streams and it's usually more powerful, makes me feel some kind of panic. but here it felt like he wasn't really into the story, paying heavy attention to the audience. but you're right it was great, i suppose i'm heavily biased because i already kind of knew what he was going to say

[@MrQuequito]

[@johnmcclure2912]

So does a vacuum cleaner in a vacuum chamber become a dirtier blower? I think it would.

[@MysticOfTheNorth]

I am SO glad I'm not the only full grown space nerd on this planet. I actually live really close to the launch site of one of America's first pre-NASA missions. Manhigh ll was launched from an open pit mine in Crosby, MN in August 1957. My husband thought I was crazy when we had to drive through Crosby and I begged to go look for where the site might be. Of course we didn't. But it is so exciting to me that I can look at a place near by and say "This is it! This is where we actually started looking for ways to get people into space!" The men that flew in project manhigh never left the stratosphere, but they paved the way to get higher. I look forward to more videos from you. My daughter and I enjoy watching them together.

[@martinvandenbroek2990]

Been following you since 2019 but had no idea you had a past as The Everyday Astronaut. You've come a long way. Live long and prosper!

Great talk and enjoyed every minute, your passion and enthusiasm shines through. I watch your videos with my 8 and 6 year old sons, and although they have no idea about what you're talking about most of the time, they marvel at the sight of every launch. My 8 year old has gone on to explain, to his classmates and teachers ;) the Falcon9 launch process: from launch, stage separation, payload deployment and recovery. Keep up the great work Tim!

[@IbakonFerba]

That last photo is absolutely amazing! I love everything about it, the message, how it looks...

[@paradoxalfa6558]

One of your opening statements is personally super relatable. I’m from a small town north of Omaha NE and my entire life I’ve been fascinated by space, rockets, and satellites. Being “as far away from anything space related as humanly possible” I’m the only person I know of in my entire county that shares the same passion toward space and exploration. This video and your story gives me hope in knowing that there’s still a chance for me to be able to follow my passion. I look forward to every video you post because it gives me a sense of pride, feeling like I am finally able to hear someone talk a language I understand. This fall I’ll be starting college at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, with a major in mechanical engineering and later doing a separate post-graduate in aerospace engineering so that some day I can develop, build, and test rockets and spacecraft. Thank you for your awesome enthusiasm, your commitment to your channel, and your passion for space. -Tanner

[@EverydayAstronaut]

Dude. Tanner. This made my night man!!!! Seriously. Thank you so much for writing. Kick some serious butt at college and work super hard and change the world my friend. I wish so badly I had been able to succeed in college. It just honestly wasn’t for me, so if you can do it, please, please study hard and become the best engineer you can be. You’ll literally help change the course of humanity. I’m proud of you for chasing your dreams and I’m glad the Midwest hasn’t become a void of science. Keep it alive my friend! - Tim

[@kindlin]

Tim, don't think that just because you _didn't_ graduate college that you aren't contributing back to humanity. You don't need to engineer the next deep space probe to know you're helping push space and space knowledge forward. You need only look at Paradox Alfa, on this very channel in this very thread, to see that you are already changing humanity for the positive in the coming future. Each person you inspire is one more pioneering individual to push the limits of science as we know it. EDIT: Quote from Hopsin, Fly: "Did the man who invented college go to college? Hm, okay then"

[@SeanFalloy]

Tanner, Please do everything you are planning. My plans were very similar to yours except in electrical instead of mechanical. I ended up getting a Diploma (Associate's Degree) instead of my Bachelors and moving back to my small town because I did not like living in the city. Now a few of my buddies are working for Space companies (Like DSI) and its one of my biggest regrets. I love space and the endless possibilities human space endeavours will bring and I encourage you to become a part of it no matter what. P.S. Thanks Tim for this awesome speech. I really enjoyed hearing your story.

[@Ministock85h]

Fully understand this. As a kid growing up in New Zealand, the closest we ever got to space or rockets was watching the ISS go over the sky. Its great that Rocket Lab were formed though but for 24 years of my life, I've never seen a rocket in person.

Awesome to see how you evolved into the channel you are today. I may have seen 1 or 2 of your videos until I saw my nephew wearing one of your hoodies. So I've started watching more and more of you videos. For the record, I am actually an aerospace engineering major living in Huntsville AL finishing up my degree and I am loving the channel of the 3 time college drop-out. Keep up the good work! And props for the KSP plug. lol It has caused a few of my grades to be lower due to playing it when I should have been studying.

[@borealischamberchoir]

Just watching through a load of your very early videos with a view to creating a series of DVDs of them for my dad who lives alone and can’t really cope with the internet (I asked your permission during a recent stream and you very kindly said yes! 😊). This is such a beautiful talk, so refreshing even now to hear someone just enthuse about what they love doing! My dad will love it, and (like me) especially the closing sentiment relating to Apollo-Soyuz. Thank you.

[@slikrx]

I got to stand out in the early evening, on 8 mile road, on the border between Ferndale & Detroit Michigan, and watch as the small, sparkling dot crossed the darkening sky; the Apollo-Soyuz spacecraft. There are only a few images stuck in my head from the passing decades, and that one still stays there, sharp and memorable...Thanks for the talk & memories!

[@n3ttx580]

Really great talk Tim! Was funny, but also gave me insight into your journey, which I was actually quite curious about. Love all the easter eggs in your photos. I'm not as much of a spacegeek yet as I'd like to be, but maybe in the future I'll be able to decipher the easter eggs all by myself haha

[@ohnowell]

Also, do you have any recommendations for resources for learning more about space travel history? Sometimes it feels like there has happened so much, in such a short time, that it is kind of vague and overwhelming. I learn best by watching videos (also prefer it for this since you actually get to see the events), but if there's a great and structured book about this, I would love that too!
