That Time Astronauts Organized The First Strike In Space… Allegedly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Henry Ford said that "Every man needs more than one day a week for rest and recreation," something that was also true for the crew working in Skylab 4 on the International Space Station back in 1973. But since every day they spent in space cost the taxpayer $4 million dollars, Houston expected value for their money - until the crew couldn't take it anymore and finally snapped.

I love it that the big bosses were able to admit mistakes contradictions and hypocrisies. If more upper management was willing to accept what they do to their employees we would all live better. Including the customers we all serve
Simon to the denizens of the Blazement: "Don't get any bright ideas!"🤨
Remember folks.
Strikes work,
workers must unite,
unionize everything,
your boss is not your friend
Also if you don't know where to look for resources, reach out to the IWW.
Also, when all else fails, vodka is cheap and molotov made great cocktails
Until you need Mission Control ....
23:55 the only reason Ford's fellow business owners disliked his practices is because there own workers would rather work for Henry then any one else and you can still work around the clock with 3 shifts and with his better conditions he wasn't strapped for workers.
27:45 I had no idea the sun looks blue during the day and black at night.
Thank you! 🤣🤣🤣
In his book Liftoff, Michael Collins discuss this issue (I assume he would have been aware). His never states 'strike', but he does say the the crew were unhappy with the workload, and informed Mission Control that they would be taking a day off doing what they WANTED to do rather than what they were TOLD to do. They did indeed spend time conducting their own experiments and taking picture that interested them rather than scientific targets. Michael Collins is not explicit whether or not this day off was planned, but does suggest that the crew just told Mission Control that they were doing it whether they liked it or not. He does not mention any kind of Radio Blackout.
My dad worked for NASA his whole career as an engineer/mission controller but I’ve never heard anything about this!! Great video again.
probably covered up. not a nutter but I mean NASA would not advertise that shit. (In 720p that is bc apparently NASA cant full HD their launches lol)
You should follow in his footsteps
What do you do for work ? Anything with NASA ?
I knew about it - every waking minute was controlled and scheduled and they got fed up with it. It did lead to a change in how astronauts time is managed though.
@@birdmonster115 I’m already +60 so that chance has come and gone. I was the rebellious one so just to spite my dad I became a cabinet carpenter. There are definitely times I wish I had gone con his footsteps.
A strike in space?! Heck yea!
It’s considerably more involved. USAF ran a whole series of psychologically driven experiments onboard Skylab 4 to assess stress, crew cohesion, etc… Manual space navigation, time sensitive resource availability calculations, perpetual observation logging and all kinds of other things outside of and on top of the scheduled science.
USAF wanted to test how the crew responded to an escalating stress environment to determine how they might respond in the event of large scale intercontinental conflict on Earth. Telling the crew they were going to have a more relaxed workload prior to launch was all part of the experiment. They were given tasks that simulated tasks they may be asked to perform once the missiles were launched and ground support was limited/redirected.
Which is why they were doing things that had been done by computer for a long time. Manually navigating Skylab to a new location without ground support or computers for example. Nobody had ever trained for that or even knew how, but Skylab 4 was asked to do it.
The sensationalist mutiny/strike story hit the news long before the reports so all the actual experiments and results were just sort of forgotten/no longer compelling to the public. A lot of it is still classified, but you can find a lot of the information on the Defense Technical Information Center website.
As a Cold War operation it does merit a lot of skepticism in the published accounts. USAF couldn’t have the Commies knowing the crew folded under simulated conditions. I’m in no way saying there WAS a strike, but I think the idea of some serious pushback beyond complaining from the crew may have validity.
What’s up with this?! Simon has a channel I’ve never heard of?! Well, subscribed immediately!
Actually predates BB if you can believe it.
Hopefully you'll find all 13 someday 😆
The Science of Science Fiction is newish.
How come your front page for the channel claims you have no content? I wonder if that has anything to do with this channel being severely undervalued given how awesome it is...
That's odd. Some mistake in Settings, perhaps? Regardless, clicking on the Videos category reveals all of them.
We've been wondering that ourselves. :-) Didn't used to be like that...
OMG...that guy in the middle looks like William Defoe.....yep Green Goblin in space.....lolol
Was waiting for the kitchen sink to appear. So much history highlighted in one episode!
A-legend-ly
There's that word again.... Allegedly.
I seldom comment. But as a person who has lived her entire 82 years in "puma country" I have only once (well twice, but it was consecutive nights in the same place so probably the same puma) seen one, and never in a wild place. (Aforementioned incident was in a local town, where they are known to live, a youngster hunting rats under a dumpster, and then saw its tail in tall weeds, next night, across the street. This because I had a job driving at 3am.) I presently live where they have been reported, twice, in the news, never seen any evidence myself, even though I grew up in a woods-wise family, and hunt. I have twice seen deer. which are very common and used to use my driveway as a trail to the creek. Same with bears. (I have never, BTW, heard of anyone finding a dead puma unless they'd shot it.) So some of your conclusions are suspect. I can't say it is impossible, only unlikely, that the British Isles have some relict species of large predator. (I expect the black "cats" and black "dogs" are probably the same being, if extant. Large, black, furry and red-eyed.) And yes, "sidhe" is pronounced "she". Some wag once said Gaelic uses up all the consonants the Welsh discarded! LOL Oh, the neighbor lost a domestic cat to coyotes. I've never seen, but have heard, coyotes here. (The singing dogs of the Americas.) Just because true evidence is lacking doesn't prove anything. Wild animals who may be hunted are VERY canny at not being detected by humans.
Ah, you're looking for the "Decoding The Unknown" department.
It's just down the hall, third door on the left.
Can't miss it. 🙂
Pretty sure you meant to post this on a seperate Simon-Verse channel, Decoding the Unkown. Watched that one a bit before this one, great video, and this comment actually fits there...
But here, well, it's a bit alien (I'll show myself out...)
legends :)
Simon, have ya ever done a piece on the Apollo 7 mission. They had problems and rebelled. When they got back they were all told that they would never fly in space again. Check it out.
Schirra had told everyone that Apolo 7 was his last flight even before they launched. Flight Director Chris Kraft said to have said neither of the other two would ever fly again - but he didn’t have the final say.
17:33 I guess Humans are a non-Newtonian fluid.
23:58 Except the writers for all of Simon's channels- gotta keep that basement door locked tight to get the most work out of them. Write for your freedom Danny!
i am bemused by Your bonus fact. Why this complete non-sequitur out of left field? !:-)
Simon really liked that article lol
Brilliant
how do i change the font size for subtitles on youtube? idk where to ask and i was watching so yeah
Check device settings
@@sandybarnes887 I did, that only changes the subs on the phone itself not on RUclips
Do you provide any sources for this stuff?
I wouldn't even consider it a strike or even a mutiny. There truly was mis communication happening left and right by all parties involved. It sounds more like a bit of a bend due to exhaustion and the need for a more flexible and within reason schedule.
Please send me a link to where u got your sweet aass jacket man.. that's a sweet ass pice of class
There are factions that would rather we use robots or at least drone/radio controlled arms and stations..it's safer, less expensive, and somebody will get the huge government contracts to build, operate, and maintain such a system. This sort of "incident" could potentially be VERY persuasive for the argument against biological pilots and scientists. Surgeons like the one that worked on removing TINY shards of shrapnel throughout my body are too specialized, valuable, and in demand for them to be deployed with soldiers or flown in over and over..EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, RISKY in EVERY way and takes too much time. . My Surgeon used an incredible remote operating machine/robot to save my life. I had been flown in to Germany and the Surgeon operating on my body was in New York city using a virtual environment and the precision of a robots agendas that won't shake, slip , become fatigued and the ability to see in microscopic detail as well as thermal scope, night vision..and some of these remote Surgerys are in shipping containers/airplanes and back of trucks or on trains etc. in the middle of nowhere or a war zone ...with the Doctors stateside etc.
I apologize for any words that are out of context or poor punctuation and misspellings..I lost my hand in Afghanistan so now I dictate rather than type and the program is not perfect. I hope whomsoever is reading this that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe. Semper Fidelis

Henry SF Cooper's scholarship is not held in high regard by space historians, with him being the source of the strike/mutiny myth. David Hitt's Homesteading Space and Gerry Carr's Around the World in 84 Days.
Hi Sir I am from Afghanistan. please make A video on Why Afghanistan Cannot be Conquered.And why It is called Graveyard of Empires.Please also tell about US Afghan 20 Years war history. I shall be Very Thankful to you.
Note : I am student of Geology bul also take keen interest in history and politics
I saw those photos with the lizards and Orion women. Man that was some nasty dirty porn!!
Yey, cool : the first #BlueJackets
😂
Bro where is the vids??!! One month is WAYyy too long bud.
I liked it better when you believed in the stories, instead of just reading.
Three years ago, before you were the figure head.
that 8/8/8 doesnt work when 2-3 of those 8 hours of "Free time" is spent on transit alone. more like 11/5/8
Then you spend at least 1-2 hours doing chores and preparing and eating dinner(Or breakfast depending on your sched) and bathing/shaving. which cuts your Freetime down ever more. making it more like 1-2 hours of free time each day.... Which is basically no free time. Then they wonder way people sleep less and less. They have almost no freetime to actually spend on themselves. Its just Work, no time for hobbies or skills or even jsut relaxing. Everything has to be overlaid on top of eachtoher until you just snap.
Sup Y'all
Fools
Orion womens ahahahaha
simon deffs doesnt have a girlfriend has like 69 channels gets bored quick
