You left out one of the scariest aspects of Venus. Atmospheric pressure at the surface is roughly equivalent to the pressure you'd feel 3000 feet below the surface of an ocean on Earth. The atmosphere IS gaseous, not liquid, just at an extremely high pressure.
@timg2727
@timg2727 3 жыл бұрын
It's actually a supercritical fluid at that temperature and pressure, which means it has properties of both a gas and a liquid at the same time. The atmosphere of Venus is wild.

Since you talked about Saturn briefly in this video, I think you should do a video on Cassini Huygens Space Probe. It explored the Ringed Gas Giant and learned a lot of things about not only Saturn, but also the many moons which orbit Saturn. Plus its final suicide dive into the Saturnian Atmosphere as it sent back final bits of data is a badass way to go.

NOW YOU HAVE TO DO VENERA. It may have been a failure in the grand scheme of things, but it was still a mega project deserving of coverage. Edit: sorry for the late edit to this. Okay in retrospect after thinking about it for a while, he's Venera was successful in their primary objective. It's just that it took Soooo long and with so many failures for them to get was was essentially a few minutes of glory before the sulphuric atmosphere melted everything. You know I kinda wanna see a mission back to Venus and back to the spot where Venera landed with a Venus rover to see what half a century of exposure does to the structure.

The 24th was the day they returned to Earth.

Apparently Beagle successfully entered the orbit of Mars at something like 17 kms per second, successfully aerobraked as it entered the atmosphere, deployed it shutes then inflated the dodecahedron of air Bags built into its fuselage just before cutting the chutes and landing!. Upon landing, it bounced once… twice, rolled a little… and promptly dropped into a bottomless pit. So in summation, was Beagle a success! Not really! But technically I feel that it’s also the greatest Hole in One ever played!

There’s a scene in the BBC documentary series The Planets tff he at features two of the scientists who’d worked on Mars 3. One of them explained about how the “image” was being received and then the signal stopped, the other guy just looked at the ground the whole time saying very little. His sense of disappointment at how close they’d come to success was so evident. Space missions operate on very fine margins, when Beagle 2 was located on Mars and it was evident that it had reached the surface only to fail to properly deploy I immediately thought back to Mars 3.

Mars mission windows are fun because you only get several weeks-months every 2.2 years because of the separate orbits so when the windows open you often see a big group go up at once when interest is high. For example, 6 craft were sent by two countries in Jul-Aug 2020 including Chinese and American landers (Zhurong and Perseverance)

I think crazy has a positive connotation when it comes to Russian space programs. It's more like "daring" than "insane". Without Russian ideas, Elon Musk would have no Raptor engine, on the other hand, he wouldn't without US-ideas, either. Or German ones, if you wanna go back to the start. If we can learn anything from the space programs is that humanity should unite, while keeping its unique traits. The idea of a big melting pot where we're one homogenous world-state would be a killer for creativity. We must keep our uniqueness but find a way to cooperate on projects that benefit humanity, worldwide. And I don't mean for profit, it's time to start doing things for science again.

Weren’t the Soviets first at pretty much everything space related? Minus humans landing on the moon. If only someone would make a video about that.

Yes, the USA is the master of the stars at the moment. But until the Lunar landing of the Apollo 11, the Soviets beat the USA on almost all fronts. Especially during the start of the space race. The Buran (Russian Space Shuttle) is arguably superior to the Space Shuttle of the USA. Shame the funding stopped, Buran was such an interesting project.

@@Dekkedan yeah, Russian space program (RosKosmos) suffered the most since the fall of the USSR. Economy and military weren't hit that badly as the space program, sadly that's why there were only two flights of the Buran, it came out at the very end of the Soviet Union

At 5:33, there is a historical inaccuracy. NASA didn't attempt 4 missions to Mars during Mariner programme. The first two Mariner missions(Mariner 1 & Mariner 2) were launched to Venus in 1962. Out of this two missions, Mariner 2 made a first successful flyby of Venus in history. By a successful flyby, i mean the first ever to make a measurement of the physical characteristics of the planet venus and successfully report the results obtained during the flyby back to Earth. NASA just attempted two missions(Mariner 3 & Mariner 4 in 1964) to Mars.

SUGGESTION: Ilyushin IL-2 - Visionary WWII ground-attack "flying tank" and spiritual predecessor to the A-10 Warthog - The single most produced military aircraft in aviation history - Some WWII-era Wehrmacht nicknames for it: "meat grinder", "butcher", "black death", "slaughterer", "concrete bird" - What Stalin had to say about it: "Our Red Army now needs IL-2 aircraft like the air it breathes, like the bread it eats."

Wonder what the odds are of a modern rover finding mars 3 and figuring out what went wrong. Extra points if someone from the original mission is still around to appreciate the effort.

What a great video, really informative and enjoyable. One little question: did the Americans manage to land the first manmade object on the moon as stated in the narration? I thought that was the Luna 2 impactor, while Luna 9 was the first to achieve a lunar soft landing? But, I don't pretend to be an expert on this stuff, and am more than willing to be corrected.

Hi Simon, I'd love to see you take a look at Denver International Airport. It is the second largest airport in the world (though has three times the runway space as King Fahd), and one of the busiest in the USA and the world. The terminal building is gorgeous, the area is massive, and the airport is the subject of many conspiracy theories, budget overruns, and other controversies. Certainly worth checking out here!

This was a real space race. The technological achievements were principally in the fields of engine and telemetric engineering, rather than pure (i.e.: theoretical) science. We already suspected what we would find there. It is obvious to anyone considering the subject that these missions were spinoff applications of the same technologies (those mentioned above plus ballistics) which were expected to be used to deliver nuclear devices to "enemy" cities.

Also do the pioneer missions which were the first to send back images of Saturn and Jupiter. The literal precursors to Voyager. Also do Voyager 2 since you did Voyager 1. Voyager 2 was the first and only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune
