[@tofudish]

Done. Hope you get a lot more supporters, thanks for this incredible channel. :-)

[@philipclapper268]

Thanks for letting us know! I can't donate much, but I'll do what I can, this might be my favorite series on KZbin.

[@ObjectivityVideos]

Thanks!

[@ObjectivityVideos]

That’s very kind. Thanks for watching.

[@superfahd]

Keith is a Firefly fan!

[@ghuegel]

Two by two...

[@Vokabre]

Royal Browncoat Society!

[@birkk]

Did not expect that, yet at the same time not surprising.

[@blindleader42]

It's a Big Damn Royal Society

[@carnsoaks1]

Buffy originally then followed Whedon to Firefly

[@LevSco]

Keith you just made my day! You can't stop the signal!

[@milamber319]

Its weird but I never pictured Keith as caring about pop culture at all lol. I dunno why.

[@LeonardChurch33]

"From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'verse" Kinda losing my mind right now at Keith's reference.

[@ole781]

Soviet moon dust... this reeks of conspiracy

[@leppeppel]

"I've no idea what that was about." "Alright, you'll find out." Keith is not only a browncoat; he knows the commenters are too!

[@joeh8785]

Keith about to go get the chain of command!

[@iainburgess8577]

*Cheering* glad to hear Keith gets it, and that I'm not alone with commenting that quote

[@Leophred]

I'll be in my bunk.

[@Ricobirch]

"Two by two..." Keith is a man who knows his audience. Bravo

[@MortimerStonewall]

2 by 2 hands of blue. Classic.

[@Mad_Elf_0]

Said it in my head about 0.5s before he did. Choke, snort, LOL.

[@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

Just when you think you can't love Keith any more he casually throws out the "two by two hands of blue" quote.

[@Jesse__H]

Brandy's not a Firefly fan... tsk tsk. But I think I speak for most everyone when I say that Keith, my man, you are the bee's knees! 😊💙💙

[@JoshWright396]

I think Bradley and Grey need to do a Firefly review on HI

[@error.418]

Is there a running joke about misspelling Brady's name?

[@Olhado256]

As someone who was born in Communist Poland, I always thought that the Luna programme was every bit as cool as Apollo.

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

One small object for Objectivity, one giant thrill for the viewers.

[@vlogerhood]

Keith is correct. Firefly references are EXACTLY what we want.

[@mushroomsamba82]

FIREFLY! Good on ya, Keith! ...Brady, I am disappoint...

[@slpk]

Holy crap. Keith just made my day

[@Dave_Sisson]

When I was a kid I saw a much bigger heap of Soviet moon dust when the Soviet Cosmos space exhibition came to Melbourne. It was a long time ago but I still remember the fortified glass display case it was in.

[@murk1e]

Keith rocks the Firefly reference!

[@BThings]

Keith quoting _Firefly_ is my new favorite thing in the 'verse!

[@zacnizib]

I have been waiting for that two by two hands of blue reference, thank you Keith

[@Epinardscaramel]

2:10 That container is a beautiful object on its own

[@allendunn8881]

Bonus points to Keith for the Firefly reference :)

[@tbg10101]

So cool that Keith is a Firefly fan.

[@DasGanon]

Shiny. I'm a little sad there wasn't any pictures of Soviet letterhead in this episode.

[@gaylordpantamime]

I just marathon every single episode of objectivity ever uploaded this is one of the best channels I've stumbled upon keep up the great work Brady and Keith

[@feidry]

2 by 2 hands of blue! Love me a Firefly reference!

[@Nhurm]

Firefly reference for the win!

[@ptonpc]

Oky I'm even more impressed with Keith Moore. :)

[@aroyaishan5255]

Keith! *Squeee!* Loved that! Also, those are pretty grains of moon dust.

[@KevimationYT]

Great episode. Love the letters at the end. Interesting how this process goes as people want things and what tests they wanted to do.

[@traviswentz4266]

“Two by two, hands of blue.” Browncoats unite!

[@parichard6540]

I always knew Keith is cooler than he let’s on and now it’s certain! “Two by two....” Outstanding! Like a leaf on the wind!

[@finns.srensen9978]

Dude you make the best videos on YT, I just watched a 10 year old Periodic Video... please keep it up!

[@ObjectivityVideos]

Thanks. Keep watching and we’ll keep making them.

[@TheOriginalRodders]

You can't take the sky from me!

[@diabolicallink]

2:30 love it. Don’t hear that reference very often

[@bizmar]

Keith just became 1000x cooler.

[@arcanics1971]

Honestly, I can't say that the moon dust sample beats the Genesis Rock and Storage lab. They're pretty cool, but I didn't think Keith had quite pulled it off... *until I saw that presentation box!* Now that is lovely! Also, Keith referencing Firefly! OK, OK, this was as good as the last episode!

[@Vokabre]

Nice to see this kind of exchange between the academies! Reminds me that Moscow museum of cosmonautics has a sample on display of a few specs of dust from both Apollo 11 and from Luna 16. (One little thing regarding mentions of Russia, it's always good to remember that Soviet Union consisted of a lot of nations, not only Russia).

[@artyomiv]

You know, scientist (and engineers, BTW) usually doesn't give a serious sh*t about country of origin of the theory/idea/whatever. There are so many things to try and consider - no need to waste your life trying to defend that you belong to the nation that made something 'first' before you were even born. If you want to succeed - make something new in your lifetime.

[@harrypadarri6349]

Artyom Ivankovich Of course, the validity of a scientific theory does not depend on something like nationality. But it is different if you talk about history and not the theory itself. Not because it makes anyone a better person today but it has something to do with acknowledging the history. You know what I mean?

[@pokemonaaah]

lol yeah, each time I heard "Russia" I kept shouting to my computer "SOVIET!" I mean, the Soviets spoke Russian, and the modern Russian state inherited all the Soviet space program materials... but to call the Soviets "Russian" would be like calling the Americans "English" because Americans speak English and have English history.

[@pokemonaaah]

@@artyomiv Yeah but when it comes to history it's best to give credit where credit is due. That would be like NOT making a fuss if someone called the Apollo program "English" or "British" because once-upon-a-time the United States of America was once an English/British colony. A: "But Apollo was an American space program..." B: "lol no one gives a sh*t about country of origin"

[@artyomiv]

@@pokemonaaah So, let's give credits to Germans :-)

[@orellaminx3530]

Scientists shuffling about nervously "Oye, you got any moon dust I can have? *sniff* Come on man, just a few grains, I need it!"

[@jeyendeoso]

4:13 I REMEMBER THAT GUY! He appeared in Top gear in the challenge to see which professor could do the best burnout (and he won)!

[@satyris410]

Knowing what the late great Professor Pillinger FRS went through to get Beagle 2 successfully to Mars, makes this paper trail look like an application for a library card! Credit to the man, his dreams and his perseverance were truly out of this world.

[@gazzaboo8461]

Keith attains legend status!

[@MarkArandjus]

Soviet Moon Dust will now be the name of a drug in my sci-fi screenplay.

[@naveenraj2008eee]

Hi sir Another interesting topic... These moon dust/grains are so small... Nice to watch.. Thanks for the video..🙏👍😊

[@smaakjeks]

I just really love how much solemn reverence the respective governments have for the samples. These little specs of the moon are so awesome that even the governments are geeking out about them.

[@yendub]

THe one thing I didn't think I'd hear, a Firefly reference. Shame on Brady for not being a fan!

[@-Kerstin]

Keith is a browncoat! ^^

[@Anchorn]

I am from Slovakia. Does anyone know what happend to Czechoslovakia samples? 5:26

[@phillipbailey5430]

2×2...way to go Mr Moore

[@flamingmuffin666]

"largely non-destrictive" had a prof that would laugh whenever he saw this. INAA analysis doesn't change the mass of the sample, so its called non-destructive, but the isotope signature gets completely destroyed.

[@4trym]

Awesome!!!

[@doridear1604]

Are there any grains from earth on the moon?

[@olekaarvaag9405]

9:03 I think that is the exact face Brady has made every time he has thought of a new great idea for something like the Hello Internet wax cylinder episode or the HI sneakers.

[@douro20]

The label on top of the transport container says "Academy Of Sciences USSR". The Chang'e 5 mission returned rock and dust from the Moon back in December of 2020.

[@joeh8785]

We got a gorram Browncoat in The Royal Society! I have a faint hope for the future rekindling! You can't stop the signal.

[@TheRealDoctorBonkus]

I really just want the Brady and Keith aftershow, where you chat over a pint after recording

[@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

YES! THIS!

[@cthellis]

How is it possible you have never watched Firefly? This must be fixed!

[@Epinardscaramel]

1:23 Oh yeah, I remember that mission in Kerbal Space Program!

[@graphite2786]

Plllleeeeasssse Brady, can we see Keith's personal fossil collection, the one he mentioned years ago???

[@jake_a_g]

Look at those, James!

[@martinh2783]

2:29 Nerdgasm.

[@LeonardChurch33]

If I had a sample of Moon rock I'd buy the biggest shadow box I could find, put the sample right at the bottom where people can see it and in the biggest font that would fit write "THIS IS A PIECE OF THE MOON!" with a little arrow pointed to the sample.

[@Systox25]

In Austria in Graz 15 years ago i saw a watch with moonrocks

[@durvsh]

9:02 Brady affirms with James his plans with the moon rocks.

[@madmanarca3558]

3:05 - "hmm, no hiss..."

[@akefayamenay104]

Let’s get this out on a tray

[@iulian207]

Is very interesting that the samples where taken even at a depth of 2 meters at 5:06 time. Now on Mars we can not get to more than 30cm . Why they do not use the same tech to drill to mars???

[@Wordsnwood]

definitely a suitable follow-up to the previous film! But was this one also held for four years?

[@sugarfish]

4:12 Jack Nicholson in the Colin Pillinger biopic.

[@SlyPearTree]

I think that if I had a grain of moon sand/dirt from one of the missions then I would put in a 1 meter squared frame with an attached magnifying glass on a chain and I would put it on a wall without any obstacle below it so peoples can get near to it.[/long sentence]

[@PassionPopsicle]

What a lovely object. It does indeed seem more special that NASA's chunks (which are still immensely impressive and interesting) :)

[@Tokahax]

Blue Gloves, Brady.... They are blue....

[@sent4dc]

It'd be funny if Soviets decided to mess with them and just scooped it all up from some kid's sandbox or something.

[@kolyan1980]

USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 🧪 says on the 📦 box

[@romanbuksak1064]

I see freakin' SOVIET MOON DUST, I immediately click

[@bryanroland9402]

Nice idea to set a piece of the moon in a watch but it would have to be an Omega speedmaster for obvious reasons.

[@saikatkarmakar9370]

India is going to the moon tomorrow (22 July 2019). Hope they bring back some more samples from moon.

[@Schizopantheist]

It's extraordinary, if you actually think about the journey that these grains of moon dust have been on, that humans conveyed pieces of the moon to earth. It's a little like something from a fairytale.

[@jlhillmann79]

Honest question: who was more efficient at obtaining lunar samples on a $/kg basis, the Americans or the Soviets? I doubt we can never know for certain because I can't imagine the Soviets kept accurate cost records that would go public (no Senate oversight committee to bother them). If you take just the cost of the actual equipment used on the missions, I'd guess the Americans were more efficient. But if you take the total cost (including all the R&D and training time) it has to be the Soviet method. (I'm discounting all the time/money the Soviets invested in their own manned mission program that ultimately failed).

[@sidharthcs2110]

Unmanned Robots are cheaper

[@SFKelvin]

So, could you use the Luna samples and compare the chemistry to NASA?

[@martinhughes2549]

Yes. I believe they have been compared.

[@alwysrite]

i think they were gold gloves !

[@xliquidflames]

It cracks me up how excited you are about grains of sand. Meanwhile, back here in the US we have boxes and boxes of big rocks. How can that possibly top what the US has?

[@kstringer24]

Purple!

[@poli3205]

Hope i can walk on moon in the future so that i can do an actual moonwalk

[@swisscheesecrackers]

LOL @ Watch!

[@spookayitsme]

Keith saw the moon landing? He doesn't look old enough 😳

[@MartinMllerSkarbiniksPedersen]

I have touched large piece of moonrock a few weeks ago.

[@LisztyLiszt]

Haaand Saaand Australiaaaaan

[@nhaaaPl]

I wonder what the soviets thought about the moon landings. Were they a little salty that all they had was some moon dust while the Americans had so much rock? Not to mention a flag there!

[@benocq]

Before the moon landings both nations had impacted probes. They would transmit video of them falling and crashing into the surface. A few of the soviet ones were full of hundreds of plaques with the soviet equivalent of USSR on it, as well as the year. They covered the moon in their name before the Americans put up 6 flags

[@nhaaaPl]

@@benocq That's exactly the worst part. They were pioneering space explorations but they never made it to the moon. The Americans basically snatched the victory.

[@DopeSauceBenevolence]

Bruh. Keith watches firefly.

[@androidkenobi]

anyone else thinking they'd eat their 1mm moon grain?

[@treespunk]

BLURPLE gloves

[@robnorris4770]

You can touch a moon rock at NASM in Washington DC.

[@CyclingSteve]

I touched one at KSC, it was very smooth, from all the touching. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Stret173]

Какой контейнер! ААааах!

[@Skibbityboo0580]

I only counted 25, I'm calling the police!

[@garrysekelli6776]

soviets was cool but they didnt find petrified wood so the americans was much cooler.

[@jmesnault]

I recently discovered at my local planetarium that they sell actual samples from the moon. They are very thin but "quite" large. And "quite" cheap (35€ each). But that's a moon rock ! I'll buy me one for my birthday.

[@Agarwaen]

Whatever those are, they're not samples from manned or unmanned expeditions. They might be moon meteorites.

What, a load of bollocks..

[@tma2001]

Conspiracy theorist: We have no physical evidence that man landed on the Moon. The Soviets did it all with unmanned probes! fun fact #1: Apollo returned 1000x more rock/soil samples than the Russians 1/3 kg. They geo-chemically match the Soviet samples and independently collected lunar meteorites. fun fact #2: The very latest technologically advanced plans on the drawing board for lunar sample return robots would require over 1,500 flights to match the haul collected by the Apollo astronauts!

[@passedhighschoolphysics6010]

More proof Americans’s never landed on the moon. I was the Russians.

[@tma2001]

but the secretive, authoritarian Soviets faked their space program as well! Checkmate :)
