The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered

2 жыл бұрын

On June 30th, 1971, three soviet cosmonauts were returning from what was, at the time, the longest period any humans had spent in space. Their re-entry appeared to be normal, and the Soyuz capsule landed safely in Kazakhstan, not far from the Soviet spaceport at Baikonur. Outwardly, the capsule appeared undamaged, but there was no response when Soviet workers knocked on the exterior. When they got the capsule opened, they were shocked to find all three of the cosmonauts dead.

Perhaps our biggest mistake of the past hundred years has been a lack of self reflection, on both sides of the curtain. In hindsight, maybe it was too soon for the markets to go away, perhaps that's why all the socialist countries left turned to them somewhat, and perhaps in the future, with technology and innovation we can one day reach a state where "To each according to their need, from each according to their ability" can really be instituted, without a loss of individual expression or thought. That's how I feel at least. Think of the great art and inventions that died too soon to black lung in the coal mines, or the people whose dreams died a slow death to monotonous grind, paying for circumstances outside their control.

TV studio executives are notorious for their self centered belief that only they, in their infinite wisdom, have the ability to create and deploy programs to be broadcast; of course, because profits are of primary importance, closely followed by feeding their own egos by moving shows around on the schedule, always trying to one-up each other, often screwing up a successful show by pitting it against an even more successful one, and despite the former being excellent and able to profit greatly, all they care about is being #1, no matter how much else must be sacrificed. Today's history channel abandoned history, in pursuit of ratings and profits.

Gagarin knew, this would happen, and tried as Kamarov's back-up to be moved up, thinking they wouldnt allow their "great hero" to be killed. Kamarov knew, this would happen, thats why he demanded an open casket ahead of time, so they would be forced to see, what they have caused.

Also interesting, and little known, about Mike Collins, but he and John Young received the highest radiation dosage of any astronauts on a space flight. It was on Gemini 10. Gemini 10 was boosted into high earth orbit by the Agena rocket, into the area of the Van Allen belts. Gemini 11 actually went higher up, setting a pre-Apollo 8 altitude record, but they came right back down into a lower orbit, while Gemini 10 was kept in high orbit overnight because, as Collins said, he and Young were "Guinea pigs", as the amount of time they spent there would be more than an Apollo spacecraft, passing through the beltson the way to the moon, would spend.. I guess since both Collins & Young lived very long lives afterwards, they didn't suffer permanent damage.

First, my father was around 3 years and 1 month old during Apollo 11. Second, I find it *most shocking* that my mother was 7 days old when these guys, the first and only humans, died in space. She never knew this either. But I find it very disrespectful that someone would even dare to vandalize and destroy a monument dedicated to people who died outside of the world. I hope the vandals are being haunted by the crews' ghosts. I think that if you deliberately destroy a monument or abandoned place, you're telling us that an event (based on a monument) never happened or the people who lived years ago deserve to be forgotten (yeah, sounds too cruel)

I've known cosmonauts, and of course, astronauts. I can tell you without any doubt, they are all the most remarkable men you could ever meet. I respect the cosmonauts especially, and all their fellows in the Soviet space business, because they did all of this in the most backwards country ever, while it was collapsing. That is a miracle. Men born in the last few decades will not fathom how hard this was to do with slide rules and no computers or calculators. We can barely do the same thing today, with machines doing most of our thinking for us. People will never understand how hard it was to go to space the first time. How hard it was to drive a wagon to the west coast. How hard it was to fight Indians. How hard it was to drive a boat across the Atlantic the first time. How hard it was to leave the middle East and live in the snow country. How hard it was to leave Africa. How hard it was to be a mother at 16. How hard it was to be a child among cobras. These are our parents, and we stand on their shoulders.

Thanks for covering this topic. Nice bit of info about Apollo 15 factoring this into their procedures; if I already knew it I'd forgotten it! I'm curious why someone gave a dislike 👎 to this video... 🤔

Another Soviet space tragedy to cover is Soyuz 1. The Soyuz space capsule was discovered to have many flaws, so the mission was asked to be delayed. The Soviet Politburo would hear nothing of it, and forced the mission forward anyway. In an attempt to force the mission to be delayed, backup pilot Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space and Soviet national hero, attempted to force himself into the pilot’s seat. Pilot Vladimir Komarov willingly entered the capsule to spare Gagarin’s life, and it cost him his own. He was remembered on the “Fallen Astronaut” memorial left on the moon by Apollo 15.

Yeah, it sounds like Komarov and Gagarin knew the Soyuz 1 was simply not space worthy, with the race for the moon leading to poor quality control and a badly designed Soyuz spacecraft. Sadly both Soyuz 1 and Apollo 1 crews met similar fates. Both accidents led to massive modifications and eventually, high quality spacecraft. Unfortunately for the 3 cosmonauts in 1971, all the changes did not come soon enough.

This isn''t shown in documentaries and other space programs. Space Race series only mentions the accident where the Second Stage goes off and killed 91 scientists. What about looking closer at this accident? My dad had all of the most beautiful stamps from this era. His Stamp Album was so awesome I spent hours (under supervision) looking and dreaming at those stamps. My mother just gave the albums away. I was so shocked! I never forgave her.
