old 1969 LIFE magazine: Apollo 11 LEM, retro ads, chatGPT (GPT-4) | ASMR ramble

▸ Want to leave a tip or connect?: linktr.ee/letsfindoutasmr
Description: Tonight we're browsing a really cool retro 1969 LIFE magazine I found at a local flea-market thrift store. It's main article is about the LEM (Lunar Module) which was the tiny spacecraft that detached from the Apollo Command Module in lunar orbit and sent Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descending onto the lunar surface to be the first ever humans to step foot on another world.
We also browse the rest of the issue and look at some of the more interesting ads of the late 1960's. Lot's of unique and memorable marketing of clothing, appliances, insurance, and of course, booze and cigarettes.
Additional context: This issue was from March 1969, and that Apollo 11 mission didn't happen until July of 1969, so it's fascinating to travel back in time and think about the anticipation of the event just 3 months later.
Thanks to all my patreon and paypal supporters. Your donations are so appreciated. I'm trying my best to continue making the most interesting and relaxing content I can, and the donations and the love in the comments is always a big encouragement.

It never fails to amaze me how many important and influential scientific, artistic and cultural events can occur in the course of just one year, just a blink of an eye. Thank you for your consistently exceptional content and the magnificent voice that you use to deliver it. 🙏

[@LetsFindOut1]

so true. i feel like we are due for one of those years very soon between returning humans to the moon, spacex starship going to mars, and ai on the verge of surpassing general human cognition

I have really really bad trouble sleeping. This is the ONLY asmrtist that actually genuinely helps me. Thank you new subscriber.

[@nkbhgy798uoij]

One of the best channels on entire youtube, informative, cozy and nostalgic. Always a delight to learn from your videos. I hope you are doing good.

[@LetsFindOut1]

informative cozy and nostalgic are perfect descriptors for the vibe i'm going for. thanks arista

[@loladrawsandanimates9981]

Dude you are slowly fixing my mental health, making me be happy to wake up in the morning, someone I can watch speak about my newish special interest, making my sleep schedule way better, and making me sleep. I hope you and everyone here has a great day or night and sleep well.

[@liacamp9]

the zoom on the huge 1984 😭 i really appreciate how your videos never fail to make me relax and laugh at the same time.

[@jassspencer1082]

The ASMR channel you have been searching for. A treasure, buried under the sand that is throw away, carless ASMR with no substance. Thank you again for another much anticipated video. Keep it up brother.

[@RealMDABJ]

Can’t get enough of space asmr. Love your channel a lot and continue doing space stuff

[@jarrettmelton2853]

I get so hype when you upload! Thank you for the content 🙌🏼

[@cal-native]

That multi-folding screen phone was pretty cool. Might be a popular "retro" design for today, although probably not very practical. Glad to see you back Rich!👍

[@LifeIsATest4TheHereafter]

thanks for this! You and Bob Ross have been my go-to Asmr channels for the past months now

[@boosterhikes1841]

Oh man I’ve been beating myself up and hating on everything and everyone and beyond stressed out with bills and work, and then out of nowhere, Rich appears with a warmly welcomed video showcasing some of his vintage magazines and focusing on the March ‘69 Life magazine. Pretty hard to find those, you know. Thank you rich!! Your timing is impeccable ❤

[@LetsFindOut1]

glad if i can help turn down the noise for a while booster

[@solarnaut]

booster, your comment got me trying to recall the "wear sunscreen" lyrics about nostalgia as a form of over pricing the past by masking the ugly aspects. A potential reminder that even THIS MOMENT, for all its flaws, can, too, become a relaxing bit of vintage in the future ? " Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth." Perhaps the welcoming framework Rich provides actually DOES increase its worth ? B-)

[@fatrightfoot]

Another video to watch a million times over, amazing content once again man!

Hi Rich, thanks for these magazines with us. Since last year I've been hunting for Sky&Telescope magazines on ebay. Mostly from the 70s through 90s. Really fun to read up on what amateur astronomy was like decades ago. Also full of helpful tips for analog astrophotography projects:) Cheers

[@LetsFindOut1]

cool. yea it really puts into perspective how much technology has progressed even in the last couple decades hasn't it?

Interesting topic, I wonder if in the future they will look at todays history and have the same thoughts.

Great Discovery. Very interesting and educational video

[@emilycarter128]

I have a 1969 VW Beetle that I got from an estate of the man who bought the car new. My paperwork shows he purchased it on Mar 13 1969. I knew it was a fascinating year historically, and in the heat of the space races, but this browse through puts such a cool perspective into place for me. So cool!!!

wow what a coincidental date.

It’s great to see another video! Do you plan on doing any soft whisper videos in the future? I miss them quite a bit!

[@LetsFindOut1]

i do soon. hopefully not too far off

[@meganfrazier]

Thank you for sharing these magazines. I love the glimpses into the past. I actually tried to stay awake so I wouldn’t miss anything! I lasted about 20 minutes so now tonight I’m going to go back and try to watch the rest (and go to bed earlier). You are by far one of the most talented asmrtists out there. Please don’t add background music like one person suggested. That would detract from your overall mellow vibe (in my opinion).

[@GeekFilterNet]

In a RiffTrax bridgett and Mary Jo were watching the 1957 industrial film “Life in the Suburbs” and the narrator said “it’s the goingist part of a nation on wheels!” So ‘it’s the going thing’ tracks. I remember my parents and grandparents using it when I was little in the 70s. It just means ‘it’s the latest, most popular going thing’

[@LetsFindOut1]

hm funny how trendy slang evolves

[@GeekFilterNet]

@@LetsFindOut1 They lamented how they never explained what 'the goingist part of a nation on wheels' actually was! But, riffing aside, it was kind of a fascinating time capsule about the suburbs and the birth of the shopping mall. I think they were just about as far in time from when malls would take off as we are from when they started to die.

Hey hey, I’m loving your videos! I realized that you’re familiar with universe sandbox and was wondering if you’ve ever tried space engine? It has a procedurally generated universe With millions of galaxies each with their own stars and planets. There isn’t many sandbox features like universe sandbox but the visuals are incredibly stunning and it’s very fun to explore.
