Wait up a second, just dropping in a picture of Keith Moore climbing in/out of a bi-plane with no context? Bi-plane pilot, scuba diver - Keith Moore, international man of mystery? Inquiring minds must know.
At 5:27, in the upper righthand corner of the map, we can observe the "Chat Moss". The Chat Moss was the location of an amazing feat of 1830 British engineering. Robert Stephenson (of Rocket fame) had to cross this enormous bog to finish the Liverpool to Manchester rail service! A prodigious effort crossing the bog, considered bottomless, was accomplished by essentially floating the rails in the worlds first practical railway. He changed the World!
Thanks for the info, it inspired me to read more on the topic. Based on Wikipedia though, it seems like it was Robert's son George, who did the engineering.
@@brontitall Correct you are. I wrote that from memory, obviously proven faulty. I thought it helpful to mention Rocket, putting it in perspective. Still a marvelous effort by the entire firm, with *George* Stephenson as Chief Engineer. After looking it up, we have Robert Stannard as the subcontractor who actually constructed the line across Chat Moss. There aren't many truly fundamentally world changing events, but the LMR was absolutely one of them.
It’s a shame Brady’s videos aren’t more well appreciated. Like he really is putting out some amazing stuff and it’s hard to find someone on RUclips to compare him to.
Now, I know Matt Parker has done a whole bit about the probability of a particular date being at least one person's birthday given a population of a certain size, but what is the probability of releasing a video on some random person's birthday about a topic that they are particularly keen on? I would have also taken a video about spaceflight, but aviation is my true passion and I absolutely loved this one. Also, I liked the unusual birthday candles over on Periodic Videos.
"An aerostat (From Greek ἀήρ aer (air) + στατός statos (standing) through French) is a lighter than air aircraft that gains its lift through the use of a buoyant gas." I guess Aerostation is just a translation.
Keith and Brady are experts at polishing the Royal Society's jewels and treasures, then presenting them to us in the most exquisite showcases and stages. Brill. Yet another brill, in fact.
4:41 if Keith had been shirtless, that could've been one of those Putin propaganda photo's! Badass Keith! When will we hear from you on the numberphile podcast?!
Brady has an incredible knack for finding people who are perfectly suited to what they do. I'm thinking of Matt Parker, James Grime, Ed Copeland, Becky Smethurst, and, of course, the one and only Keith Moore. I've left out titles and honorifics and the like because I can't be bothered looking up exactly how I'm supposed to refer to them. No offence intended, it's just laziness, pure and simple.
Is that... is that Keith in a... a leather jacket? On a biplane? But... but... but... I know it's not what this channel is about, but more, please! We need to know more. With pictures. Also, it's not pronounced "helsbuy" but "helsbi". Like in mostly and likely ;)
Another fascinating video. Keep up the great work. Oh, and any time you want to take a break from the Royal Society, hop over the pond, and come have a look at the American Library of Congress, I would also watch those videos. I'm just saying.
In certain contexts the letter s was elongated (the first s of a double s and sometimes if an s was the start of a word). To modern eyes the "long s" can look like an italic f, but if you look carefully, it does not have a stroke in the middle like an f does. I think the use of the long s was in decline by the late 1700s as it was rarely used after that time.
We must be neighbors. The sky has been a dull grey all day. Considering the temp was in the upper 80s just a week or so ago, it's kind of nice to see we're still having some spring weather... still, can't deny it's quite gloomy. Apologies and sympathy if your gloom is not weather related.

He must secretly be a 00 agent.
@@Thumbsupurbum He'd obviously be a Q character with all his access to the scientific mysteries of the past.
DirtyBlastard
They’re called intelligence agents, which suits Mr Moore perfectly.
Biplane pilot seat is behind the passenger seat... Sorry to burst your BALLOON lol
The name's Moore.
Keith Moore.
Hot air balloons cost a lot more these days because of inflation.
good one dummy variable
Heyoo!
ba dum tss
I hate these puns with passion
This is why I read the comments!
New channel idea: "Keith Takes Flight". Just videos of Keith grinning while flying in various craft.
Balloons are really taking off!?! HAHAHAHLMFAO Keith nailed it 100%

If Keith is also a stunt or racing pilot, I swear we need him to do a podcast.

"An aerostat (From Greek ἀήρ aer (air) + στατός statos (standing) through French) is a lighter than air aircraft that gains its lift through the use of a buoyant gas."

Aerostation is the activity you do with an aerostat.
@@lare290 This precisely. An aerostation is an installation of aerostat(s).

Badass Keith! When will we hear from you on the numberphile podcast?!
Yes! Keith on the Numberphile podcast! I second the motion.
The drawing of the earth in a circular fashion at 4:20 is now called a "little planet" picture. This could be the first depiction!
that still of Keith climbing into the plane is epic!!! What a legend
Love it when Keith shows his lighter side!
Balloon madness? Nobody had flown In the air before. I'm pretty certain countless people would want to experience it if at all possible. Flying! 😀
Good one! Would always love to see more aerospace videos!
New Mexico hosts a Balloon festival. I recommend. Good, wholesome fun.
0:28 My first thought as an American was " Hey, Ben Franklin is very impressive! Oh wait... guess that's... not him?"
Brady, Keith, this genuinely is my favorite RUclips channel. Thank you for this!
Ps. It's been too long between episodes 😉
"I know know a couple of hot air balloonist I could probably sort you out." and Kieth was never heard from again...
WE WANT A VIEDEO OF KEITH IN A HOT AIR BALLOON!!!!
Yes we do, but they won't do one if we yell about it. Decorum and all that.
@@lzeph That's a good point. Let me rephrase it: Could we please have a video of Keith in an hot air ballon? Thank you!

TheLongDark
Copeland is a professor, Grime and Smethurst are doctors, while Parker and Moore go by “Mister”.
I appreciate it.
@TheLongDark: None of them seems very hung up on such things anyway.
Is that... is that Keith in a... a leather jacket? On a biplane? But... but... but...
I know it's not what this channel is about, but more, please! We need to know more. With pictures.

That Speedmaster distracts me in every video. Beautiful piece.
I love Keith. I would love to see more of him.

6:14 Brady: "I know a few hot air balloonists..."
The Bristol connection.
That era must have been crazy. The first humans to fly using science.
Then they did science while flying.
Awesome.
@MichaelKingsfordGray
But unfortunately they didn't manage to pass on their observations for future generations.
its time for 4k, brady!
I love balloons!
Random question for Keith: (maybe an interesting video?) What is the oldest thing in the collection of the Royal Society?
Great question, watch this - ruclips.net/video/-vUtkAli8_U/видео.html
:)
Come to Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta!
I want to see Keith's adventures.
1:10 keith ily
Yeup, balloon really took off! Did not disappoint! :D
Rixton Mofs. What were the rules for f and s usage?
In certain contexts the letter s was elongated (the first s of a double s and sometimes if an s was the start of a word). To modern eyes the "long s" can look like an italic f, but if you look carefully, it does not have a stroke in the middle like an f does. I think the use of the long s was in decline by the late 1700s as it was rarely used after that time.
@Dave Sisson: Thanks, Mr fifson!
@@ncooty That's brilliant, I never thought about spelling my name using the old rules for the 'long s'.
Brady seems to have shed a lot of wight! Fitatron 5000!
Brady looks like he’s been on the FOT5K
Amazing episode I only recently did just go up Helsby hill!
Huh...the Lion and Unicorn....interesting.
Please rent a balloon and fly a kite at the same time!
Joseph banks as played by terry jones there
Brady! You've been losing weight haven't you? Looking mighty fine up on that FOT5000 horse, mate! :)
2:39 am I the only one that thought of the “Black Star”? 🤓
Terminology not quite right in the video? The hydrogen balloons aren't hot air balloons. The lift is due to the hydrogen being lighter than air.
A hydrogen balloon? Sounds like a manned firework.
@MichaelKingsfordGray: Touché... which, as I understand it, is like a shower.
Lion king hill?
Love the joke Keith. Lol. Dumb but hilarious. Hahaha. Thanks for making me laugh on this gloomy day.

LMFAO. Thanks.
Big Kieth clapping man with facts from day 1, doubt his facts you're gonna get waxed
I was so fast sill 16 people here
2nd view
I've heard of this disease v_v
I'm glad vaccines have mostly eliminated it, worldwide
