Bars, beats and chords. Let me know of any corrections.
I just noticed the music at the end... Is that from "The Great Escape?"
There is no sense how well written this series is. Just no sense.
"We're all just observing a moment of silence for the companies that didn't". If you didn't get that joke, then something's wrong with you because that's funny.
nice.
Loved this episode. Probably my favorite from the series, with the "Genesis Rock" one a close second.
What is the O with a line? Diminute?
Half diminished ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-diminished_seventh_chord )
@@luci0torre i see thank you bro
Somewhat as a voice in the wilderness ...
Great series and this is one of my favorite episodes along with the episode about Apollo 12.
NEEEEEERDS!
Back in the olden days when husbands provided financial support for their families.
I think NASA should have used a kite and 239,000 miles of string.
I love how they costumed the Grumman engineer,s in full-geek, 1962 garb: short hair,cuts black trousers, white dress shirt with pocket full of writing implements and a skinny black tie. Appaently different colors of pants, shits and ties didn't exist iback n 1962, a least not in dork land.
Dorks are people who get fat watching music videos and hanging out at malls.
As a former citizen of "Dork-"land, I would give anything to go back.
Matt Craven... man, I love seeing that guy in things. Best work was in Nuremberg.
He's a very calm actor. And yes, Nuremberg was a wonderful film/miniseries.
Girls: he's probably cheating on me The Boys: Engineering history changing technology
My favorite episode of a brilliant series.
I heard they’re making a sequel from the Moon to Uranus
great but I wonder why this company has not become SpaceX or another famous company?
Northrop Grumman?
@@yommish Yeah, who ever heard of them? LOL
I can't help but think Grumman winning the lunar lander contract helped the F-14 become a reality, even though it got mated to a shitty engine in its earliest incarnations.
Yeah, lets solve problems with owetime. I bet this is the cause of half the failed launches....
Imagine been happy about working, whats that feel like.
We didnt get the contract. Shows over guys, literally.
Wait, why did the Great Escape theme start playing at the end?
Because they escaped their families.
Cheers and partiotic music. That's great. Now show the scenes at the companies who didn't get the contract and went bankrupt. Their employees not knowing how to feed their kids next month. Then play the same patriotic music. Oh no that's right... We don't wanna remind ourselves that in competition there is always someone who dosen't win.
At that time, none of the companies that had a legitimate chance to get the contract were depending on that contract for their future. Not a single one.
Commie!
Ah yes, the times when companies and contractors respected each other and themselves enough to call not only the winner, but also those who didn't get the contract and to stop them from hanging in limbo for whole week.
Wonder if they did that for job applicants back then too? "We'll let you know sometime next week" is almost as big a lie as "I have read the terms and conditions."
@@quillmaurer6563 For many types of jobs, yes, it was quite common.
About twenty years earlier, Grumman was designing US Navy planes.
Now they're designing the solid rocket boosters for SLS.
Such an underrated series
"we hate our families!" *hizahhh*🎉🥳
Look how happy they are of not seeing their wife and kids for years.
*wives. You make it sound like they all had the same wife.
@@chuckfinley4757They all had multiple wives.
@@MDE_never_dies Your point? Doesn't change the grammar.
Imagine the mix of terror and excitement for the engineers - you know you just got a really important contract, and you also don't know whether what you proposed to do is even feasible in the real world of time, funding, and resources.
We have a saying in Engineering, "The good news is we got the contract. The bad news is we got the contract."
yyyyyyyyya
eh, screw my wives and kids LETS WORK!!!
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn right!
I don't know how he can keep a straight face while building up the tension of the good news, that was brilliant!
Because people who seek out positions of power are usually sociopaths.
Great scene but then what about all the mistakes Grumman made when they were building the LEM?
it was the first spacecraft ever to be designed exclusively for space flight....you're going to have mistakes. i''l pointout that it was grumman's work that got the apollo 13 crew home.
That's what happens when you're building something totally new. The entire Apollo program was like that.
Has anyone ever made such a complicated machine without making mistakes? Has anyone ever accomplished any complex task without making mistakes? You can mitigate the severity and number of mistakes with good development practices. But even then there will never be a shortage of mistakes that need to be ironed out through extensive testing. And even then some will inevitably slip through into the final product (ask any writer, and they will tell you that no matter how many drafts you write or how many times your editor goes over it there will always be some typos in the final book). Humans simply aren't capable of accomplishing a complex task without making any mistakes. No one had ever built a LEM before. And frankly I think Grumman did an excellent job.
The LEM? The LM.
@@jonasthemovie It was the LEM initially, and it was changed to LM early in development (apparently they figured Lunar Excursion Module sounded too much like the astronauts were taking a vacation). I don't think it's a big deal if people use LEM, even if the finalized name was technically LM.
Why the great escape theme at the end?😂🤣
Period accurate and Tom Kelly has a habit of throwing a ball against a wall in the episode. Also a similar "problem - fix it - problem - fix it" feel from the movie.
Anyone else notice that the music at the end is from the movie The Great Escape?
My friend worked at Rocketdyne in California and worked on the space program. Later, he moved to Texas to work for other NASA contractors. After the first moon landing, he lost interest in engineering and became a custom home builder.
True story, they lost the contract when the gov. Official reported back that they didn't seem very interested in the project based off of Kelly's reaction on the phone. We ended up faking everything after that for convenience.
A government official didn't call Tom, that was his boss Joseph G. Gavin Jr.
Wow that’s a cheesy scene, the pencil tapping, the mourning comment, the pretending they didn’t get the contract, was always interested in watching this series until now.
If you read the comments, someone claims the pencil tapping thing actually happened and they knew the people involved in it. Life is cheesy, it seems.
Wow, you are easily disappointed. Hope nobody spoils the ending for you 😁
ikr! THEY LAND ON THE MOON!!! spoiled hahaha . No seriously get a life bro, shit is quality and you obviously cant see quality
Wow
If the office happened in the 60s
What movie/series is this?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_Earth_to_the_Moon_(miniseries)
Great Series. This probably is my favorite episode, because it covers all the ups and downs of trying to do what’s never been accomplished, on a limited budget, with absolutely crushing time pressure.
"We've got the contract!" YES! YES! YES! YES!
Alas, no free Corvettes for those guys
You don't get it. You have NO IDEA! The sheer joy of seeing what you thought up, drew on paper, saw built, and fly, beats little things like wealth and orgasms. Their thumb prints are on the EFFEN' MOON!
@@Jonascord, jeez, maybe dial it back some. Pardon my little TLI of levity there.
Now the history repeat!!! HLS is coming!
And it's called Starship.
I wouldn't like to play poker with Tom Kelly.
A former boss was involved with the moon landing project. It was the highlight of his work life. But since then NASA et al hires and promotes based on identity and not ability so we get things like the Challenger disaster.
My grandfather worked on the fuel system for the module.
He's a badass grandpa
Wouldn't like to play poker with that guy.
@@launch4 You Sir just Lost the internet.
I fuckn love that this crew of engineers were so thrilled to be part of the Apollo program
Yep, they had job security for a several more years on the government dime.
@@bugwar5545 I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you are not an engineer. Because if you were, you would know that that's not what motivated those people and that many of them sacrificed a LOT of themselves into this work. Engineers do what they do because they love it, and getting to do what you love on a project like this is a Dream come true.
@@jonjohns8145 "Engineers do what they do because they love it, ..." SOME Engineers. Most do what they do for the sweet, sweet paycheck. Which they do love, to be honest. That and a nice air conditioned workplace, as well as snob appeal.
@@bugwar5545 Air conditioning is little solace when it's 2:00 AM and you are pulling your hair out trying to figure out why the system you are working on STILL won't work as it should.
@@jonjohns8145 "Pulling your hair out..." doesn't sound like you're in a job you love. It does smack of loving that big pay check and frustrated at having to work for it.
1962, 8 years before the F-14 TOMCAT'S FIRST FLIGHT.
Grumman 2021: we make postal trucks.
@@Easy-Eight Thats honest work there son.
Boats and canoes, too!
@@Easy-Eight They made the old ones too
