Andrea (the lab manager) is awesome. I must confess. Any "wingeing" you hear from Brady Haran about how long this collab took is 100% true. We filmed this 4 years ago (!). He's bugged me to publish it every two months or so, so as a way to express my sincere apology I'd like to humbly request that you go watch his video and consider subscribing on Objectivity. Also, if you do so, please leave a comment about how it was worth the wait and he should quit his wingeing. Here's his video.

This comment actually has the opposite of the desired effect. Girls/women do not need to be "humble" to succeed, just as there are obviously many un-humble successful men. Humility is a virtue, but not a prerequisite for success in a career in space science. It comes across as a "way to keep women in their place" and "women must be humble to be successful" which I am guessing was not your intention, although that's what you said.

Just great to have a look in this lab. Very interesting. Thank you for this video.

[@AdiusOmega]

It absolutely blows my mind how precise and coordinated humans can be in a completely professional environment. It almost seems surreal to me considering I work in a VERY unorganized and cluttered work environment that is far from coordinated and efficient. It's all I've ever know and it saddens me that I'm not part of something more like this. I try my hardest to bring these attributes to the table where I work (retail) but I feel like I'm constantly fighting an uphill battle. Videos like this give me hope for humanity, many of your videos do. All these incredibly talented and smart people, I'm glad they exist to make this world a better place.

The forethought that NASA had on preserving those samples in such a way all those years ago is just incomprehensible. I would of been like destin and just chucked them into the ship.

You have to be this careful! These samples cost billions to collect. I work in a lab where our samples "only" cost thousands and we're already pretty careful haha

[@polarisgemini52]

@:mark-edward. The so called destroyed technology very much exists. What doesnt exist anymore is the practical knowhow and supply chain to create a Saturn V. The OG engineers built the part with their hands by measuring things with Veriner Calipers and trial and error and those people are long gone. Today,parts are constructed using CAD and robots. Simply putting in the values wont do. Check out the F1B engine. It is an upgrade to the OG F1 which was developed recently as a part of a competition.

@@deeped7249 Andrea is cooler

[@ANunes06]

@@deeped7249 Not gonna speak for OP, but imo she is the *ideal* lab technician. It's hard to find people who understand the meaning of what they are working on, how to properly follow very detailed instructions AND understand their purpose well enough to explain it this well, and most importantly the critical nature of careful, constant documentation. It's hard to find people who can work like this on projects with time scales on the order of years. Andrea's working on a single, continuous lab project that spans decades. The work will continue not after she stops working there, but after she is dead and gone. And not only is the legacy of her specific work in the lab going to last for generations, the legacy of her simple attention to detail and capacity to teach it will do the same. So bravo to Andrea. And bravo to NASA for hiring possibly the single best person in America to do this job.

I’ve seen many people say things like “it’s just rocks who cares” etc. but idk I guess some people can’t fathom the fact that (at least at the time of this video) there were rly no plans to land on the moon again, we know nasa and others want to, but just haven’t for awhile. So these rock samples are literally from the 60s and 70s from outer space on our moon, and easily could’ve been the last as well. It’s incredible and mind blowing to me
