I live 20 mins from Johnson Space Center. My wife works for NASA. This has given me access to some exclusive tours like being able to tour the space kitchen, where they cook and package the food for the ISS and NASA missions. I got to see the original menu of the Apollo 11 mission. The actual original menu. Can you imagine working in a place where you can just pop that out of a folder tucked away somewhere and say "Hey I just found this today, you can see what they Apollo 11 astronauts ate during the mission." So much history in those old buildings.

Not sure what any of this info has to do with the Gemini program. Cool for you I guess?

[@danidavis7912]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! My dad was a radar jockey and astronomer in the air force and our household followed every step of the space race. We were stationed at Edwards AFB during the astronaut training center days.

9:36 "Cranially smooth"? Right back to the Blazement with you! :DD ...or not. That one fine TPB reference at 15:29. High definition piss jugs!

[@anthonyfrench3169]

My favorite mission was New Horizons because it was the first time that we actually got to see Pluto...I remember growing up and having astronomy books showing the best image of Pluto, which was captured by Hubble as a grainy blue image.

[@BetterSubstance]

Great insights and production quality, Eric. Project Gemini may be the most successful government program ever. I hope my videos will someday achieve that type of quality too!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Suggestion Eric: Henry VII the first tudor king of england

[@Biographics]

I know Karl did Henry VIII, but I'm not sure if we've done that one. I'll have to check.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

​@@BiographicsNope. VERY sure

[@JackHankeAnd]

@@BiographicsI have a .txt file with a chronological list of all the people you’ve ever covered; can confirm you haven’t done any English monarchs between Henry V and Henry VIII

[@anothersquid]

My wife's uncle worked on Gemini-Aegena when he was in the RCAF. I have a few souvenirs around the house.

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video

[@youtubejosephwm6699]

My favorite is got to be the Voyager spacecraft

[@Biographics]

An oldie but a goody.

[@Skankhunt-kp6xq]

I haven’t watched this channel in a long time. What have you done with fact boy and is he alright?

[@Mecha82]

He hasn't been with channel for some time.

[@evelyntodd9946]

The fact boy has his own channels now.

[@Skankhunt-kp6xq]

@@evelyntodd9946 Yeah I watch a few of them quite a bit

[@mikezappulla4092]

This guy blows. I unsubscribed but it still comes up on my recommended videos.

[@j.a.weishaupt1748]

Could you do a video about the emperors of the Biographics empire starting with Simon I and then his successors Karl I and Eric I?

[@keithwalmsley1830]

With my bladder these days I think I would have had to wear a nappy!!! 🤣

[@bradbrandon2506]

Who else would be my favorite astronaut of all time? He flew a plane into space, mastered hypersonic maneuvering with the x-15 and became so legendary of a pilot, he landed on the moon. He really had The Right Stuff. Of course it's Neil Armstrong 😂😂😂😂 close second has to be Buz Aldrin. I'd love to high five him for punching that jerk in the face, not just for trying to deceive him, but trying to deceive the whole county as well. These men are heroes and risked their lives and put countless hours, days and years of work for the betterment of all mankind.

[@pimpampet7053]

Great video Eric. But you won't get electrocuted from sensors in a spacesuit. The voltages are way to low. You will probably only short-circuit the sensors, so they'll read 0.

[@BothIsGood]

Space food sticks were delicious and i am still bummed about them being discontinued

[@eduardogutierrez4698]

Gemini....? reminds me of that place in Alien Isolation...

[@multiyapples]

I guess you could say this is out if this world.

[@chrislittle2366]

I liked the Apollo mission that could be awesome or as in terms of individuals neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin

[@chrislittle2366]

Anyway love your content keep it up Biographics team

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

Suggestion, the band GWAR. They are the creators of the genre Art Rock/Metal Band.

[@mikezappulla4092]

Who cares

[@hightierplayers2454]

First, Gemini, in 3 days, Polaris!

[@turtleboy4111]

My favourite astronaut is Buzz Lght

[@teemuleppa3347]

I think it was Sputnik that led us to moon

[@erictroxell715]

We have all wondered how the first astronauts did number 1 n 2

[@Betweoxwitegan]

They used a toilet with two straps on the floor to keep one in place, the toilet had suction tubes and the waste would get vacuum bagged automatically and burn up on re-entry, they might've recycled the pee I'm not sure.

Just a fun way to say I'm a published cosmic horror/Lovecraftian horror author.

[@salty82ndveteran]

We need to figure out how to make a bigger dent in comets because if one comes at us from the sun we are screwed!

[@Biographics]

It's not about denting them, it's about changing their orbits. DART proved that we can actually do this pretty easily. It was wildly successful. I encourage you to look at the papers coming out in its wake, some truly eye-opening stuff!

[@salty82ndveteran]

@@Biographics thanks for the genuine feedback I really appreciate that!

Gen X here. It cant happen soon enough. xD

Grating host

[@MrTexasDan]

How does someone who claims space travel as one of his "favorite topics" mispronounce Lovell? Also the random video clips having nothing to do with the subject being read is getting old. One in particular, you talking about mid-60s space achievements while showing a video of an early 70-s moon walk shows the editing team lacks a clue.

No it's not.
