Jared: Talks about RCS People who play Kerbal Space Program: You know i’m somewhat of a scientist myself
Beautiful! And, thank you Jared! My dad helped design the LEM while working at Grumman in Farmingdale NY. He was always so proud of his work there and we were so proud of him too. Miss you daddy!
Jared I was a long haul truck driver for 45 years one afternoon at a diner at a truck stop i got into a conversation with an older trucker .It was an amazing story .He was the man with his truck that picked up the first lunar module and moved it to the assembly location for launching .
That tiny detail about how the lunar rover folded out explained so much! You have no idea how many hours I've spent looking at diagrams of that thing for two seconds of animation to make it look totally obvious.
A pleasant surprise! A straightforward, no-nonsense presentation, not dumbed down, nor unnecessarily complicated. Good use of computer graphics. No whiteboards, no obtuse narration. Guess I'm going to find something else to complain about today. Well, the weather IS awfully cold…
At 11 years old I watched the first Moon landing in the presence of my Grandmother. She was born in 1899 and remembers when the horse and buggy was the most common form of transportation.
Thanks! You showed the design well. As a kid in 1969 my friend “Hank” and I had plastic models of the Saturn rocket. As the Moon Mission progressed start to finish, from launch to recovery, we duplicated every step with our models... Rocket stages separated, CM pulled LM out, separated, LM landed, returned safely to Earth,...every action simulated as we watched our TV sets. I recently visited Huntsville AL., and saw the Enormous Saturn V rocket standing erect at the NASA museum at the Redstone Arsenal... OMG! I was so stunned. And proud.
Thanks for commenting on the RCS plume deflectors. I am the engineer who designed them.
Wow, I learned more about the moon landings in your 8 minute video that I did in the last 50 years. Great stuff. Thank you.
This is insanely detailed!!! I greatly appreciate your videos! Thank you so much for teaching millions of people!
I watched on TV the first moon landing. Now I know more about how it happened. Thank you.
I saw one of the LM's at the NASM in DC. We passed it the first time and I thought it was a high school mock up. When we returned to that area I was hanging out by it while my wife was off doing something. I was AMAZED to learn it was an actual unused LM. I couldn't believe the guys on the earlier missions actually trusted that to get them to and from the moon. Just amazing and so much respect for the team that made the moon landings possible.
I watched the landing in my elementary school class. We just watched TV the whole time as history was being made. Great video! This is YouTube at its best!
Perfect! I am a docent at The Cradle of Aviation Museum and we have the Apollo 19 LEM. This video is an easy to understand presentation of our magnificent bird. Thanks Jared!
Excellent video. A perfect example of designing something solely for the function it had to carry out.
A stunning American achievement! The engineering, the computing, the mathematics, the manufacturing, the communications, the electronics - outstanding.
"It's ugly, but it gets you there..." - Volkswagen
One of the most - maybe the most - ingenious vehicles ever designed. Almost hard to believe that decades have passed since it carried people to the moon.
"I thought I knew a lot about the LM but you've taught me something new." - Me too. Fantasic.
