I’m going to have to use that quote: “we choose to go back to the moon and do those other things not because they are easy, but because they are cool.” That’s just such a good summary of why we make scientific progress if we are being honest with ourselves about it
That’s not the only reason though, countless advancements would not exist without space exploration, political boundaries could not be broken, profit exists commercialism lies in any new territory. Innovation, exploration, policy, politics, global warming, scientific theory. Hundreds more that make it a crime to just say, “because it’s cool.”

I was lucky enough to not only be alive during the moon landings, but to actually watch Apollo 11 lift off over the trees and buildings of my house in Cocoa, Florida, just miles away. My nine-year-old self repeated, "I have to remember this". And I have, so many years later.
@@chickencurry69420 I'd seen several Apollo launches, both before and after 11. 17 was probably the best, because it was the only night launch of a Saturn V. Amazing. I also saw the Challenger explosion with my own eyes in the skies above my house. I won't forget that one either.
I was alive to watch discovery blow up in front of my fellow 3rd graders in class. The silence was absolutely hilarious as the teacher quickly walked over to the tv to turn it off, speechless.
From Cocoa Florida, you were how far away, and could you have a fairly quiet conversation or was it like 80db? I was 15 in my grandmother’s house in Orange, Ca. There were no decent TV remotes, so my grandfather built a finished table with TV controls wired to it.
@@jedgould5531 It's less than 20 miles in a straight line. Once the sound wave reached you it would rattle the window panes (if they were cranked open). The Saturn V's were much louder than the Shuttles, but you could still converse with someone next to you. The sound is similar to an earthquake.
I actually have that badge... Well, not that exact badge since I'm in a different country, but an analog. Me and my patrol got stuck in a thunderstorm while canoeing on a lake. There was a lightning strike just a few hundred meters away, and our boat almost got toppled over from the waves. We were screaming and praying to god thinking we were going to die, we were taking in water and my friend was trying to get it out using his boot as a bucket, meanwhile l tried to keep the boat from toppling over. Never been so scared in my life, but never have I had so much fun either. If there is a god somewhere, he either saved us that day, or he was just really pissed off with us. Either one is plausible.

My dad was an aerospace engineer in the 60s. He worked for Martin Marietta, designing ICBMs, when I was born in Denver (no shit, it says "Father's place of employment: Missile Plant" on my birth certificate). He got hired by a NASA subcontractor in 1966, and we moved to Huntsville Alabama, where all the Apollo design work was done. My daddy was a spaceman, all the kid's daddies were spacemen. He worked there all the way through the Skylab missions, then in 73, it all wound down, and he found work in the nuclear field, and we moved away. I have a coin from him, they gave one out to all the key people, made from the metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and stamped with a caption and picture of the event. It was a strange and exciting time to be alive.

I think this is kind of an insight into why humor itself is valuable beyond superficial enjoyment, or rather _why_ it is that that enjoyment is catalyzed. It seems to be the exploratory force that extends the bounds of thought through comfortably grounding it to some underlying reality if that makes sense. Or something.

I just realized that i might witness the time when i look up at the moon and see lights on the night side. I realized that just when i saw that image in the video. We might see that. We all might see that. Not alot of them, but there might be glimmers here and there. The first sparks of humans entering space. Honestly this video made me feel something i felt when i read about the apollo program as a kid. The magic, the science, the technology. We DID this. This happened. There wheree humans walking on that bright thingy in the sky. This was everything for me when i was a child. And this video brought back this overwelming feeling of magic. Thanks exurbia
About the "hostility" in the space race: Ultimately, it was the perfect example what a "war", even a cold one, should be. A competition between scientists and engineers, not to see who can make the most intercontinental nuclear missiles, but rather who can make the best scientific vessel to go somewhere we hadn't even dreamt of going before. It may not have been the friendliest competition in the history of humanity, but it was certainly one of the friendliest stand-ins for a war, as ultimately, it wasn't about hurting or sabotaging the others, but improving the own designs.
I don't have the words (because i don't know english enough) to describe how much I love this video. It's like the third or fourth time that I see it and I still crying like the first time. Thanks.
I will unashamedly admit that when he said, “I, for one, will be crying my eyes out...” when talking about landing on Mars, not only was I thinking the exact same things, but I was crying there and then while watching this video. I’m def an emotional person, but nothing makes me well up easier than thinking about the hope that exists when the collective human endeavor to discover, explore, learn, and evolve persists. Maybe it’ll all end up cool after all ;D
I'll be stocking tissues for that day as well ... to be hones, I tear up every single time I watch a launch of any kind. (There's a marvellous documentary about the Saturn V Rocket - ruclips.net/video/zcoIugXUKfM/видео.html There's launch footage in there, where you can hear the operators cheering on the rocket as it launches; it's ... quite moving.)
How could you be hit by existential crisis? This is where we shall leap off, the dawn of the space age, the true space age, is beginning, the amazement of new planets, new resources, technological advancement! This is the launching point of humanity as an interplanetary species potentially! My god this fills me with hope, and wonder at what's to come!

"Because that is us, audacity is what we do. Sometimes violently, sometimes misguidedly, but sometimes, every now and then, in solidarity, together." People used to talk like this more often. We don't as much now, and I think that's why we can't seem to have nice things. Thank you, sir, for talking like this.
People, as a whole, never just casually talked like this. They did in speeches, in congress, in books, movies, and little snippets here and there. But no one ever just talked like this all the time. It takes time and practice and usually lots of revision. He probably went through multiple drafts of this script as well as the recording. It is better to appreciate the work in this light, not only to acknowledge the efforts Exurb1a (and other creatives like him) put into each of their projects, but also so that others just starting out know to not get discouraged when they first start making stuff and find out how clunky first drafts tend to be.
Joshua Lane he said more often. If you went back to the 1500’s then you visited a theatre then you’ll hear people speaking like that. If you went to a theatre nowadays then you wouldn’t hear people speaking like that
Joshua Lane I hope you don’t reproduce, I mean if you went to see the most recently made play of the time. People did speak like that back then. Eg, Shakespeare!
Can't believe this was posted 3 years ago and I'm seeing it now! The audacity!! Loved the narration, goosebumps.... totally! Gonna re-watch it with earphones on high volume.
"Shoot what was it Armstrong said? Step, leap something? Should I say something like that? Ugh, I'm already on the ground now. Uh, another giant-er leap for mankind...again. Yeah."

Uhh - *fumbles around to get the note labeled "Words to say for first Martian v37"* ahem. On this very day (wait, what day is it today? Ahh it doesn't matter!) humanity has taken another leap. We have begun to... uhm, create new civilizations on other planets and will continue to do so. Sacrifices have been made, but they aren't in vain for this will be a new beginning! Not only for humanity, but for life itself. Is that good enough? Yeah I guess it is... hopefully."
This just keep me motivated to finish my engineering major in college and be a part of this journey. Thank you exurb1a. Because there are days where I feel like giving up on it, but I always find your videos extremely motivational. You are actually making a bigger impact than you think you are. You and all other YT creators who care about Science and Space exploration, you guys are the ones speaking out to young people and making us remember why we started this journey. Thanks man.
Good luck with your degree. I hope engineering expands your horizons (coming from another engineering major). Exurb1a's channel has really helped me find my focus.
Big Stud for me, I have different perspectives. Yeah there are times when I don’t want to do assignments, but I view it as going to the gym, or cleaning your room. Something you don’t want to do, but is necessary. Also, remind yourself why you’re doing this to begin with. Just like the gym, it takes practice and dedication. I often find that whenever I push myself to do my assignments when I least want to, is when I end up learning the most and being happy cause I was able to make that A. “C is good enough” is not a mentality you want to have. Sure C’s are ‘good enough’, but you want to reach your full potential. And as an engineer, seeing different perspectives to a problem and solving the problem is a necessary trait you must adapt.... in other words, suck it up, do the work, cause when you look back you’ll be glad you did it, and when you look forward you’ll be ready for the next step... also don’t stress yourself, take your time and dedicate large amounts of time to studying. You’ll find yourself having fun and if you don’t already feel a passion for it, it’ll start to spark it. 👍🏽 anyways good luck, I hope this helps in some type of way.
Also working on an engineering degree (hoping to be an astronaut) thank you for your comment. God I love seeing other people who care about science and spaceflight. Good luck with your degree. Stay curious.

You will never return and most likely die up there. Do you want to go?" I would have to say yes. Some things are much more important than my measly life.

@@lowkey_entertaining9723 // Now now don't be so pessimistic, there are some points to what he said despite the world-views present here. Most likely, he's talking about all things a person can find passion in. A person who can be passionate about astronomy will most likely turn humble at the realization of how insignificantly small the each of us are. This most likely will apply to astronauts who have been to space. Those who made it to the moon will leave all semblance of history that our world made, into a place entirely unknown, a place more harsh than the place we're all born from; to leave behind earth and travel to space, is to subsequently realize and acknowledge the many subsequent miracles that happen in the earth. And anyone who is passionate about Astronomy, will at some point want to see this kind of view that captivates the hearts of astronauts alike; just breathing in a place outside of the planet is already making history itself. But it doesn't have to be exactly that example only, nor does it have to be astrology in its entirely, it can be creative writing, singing in the music industry, dancing in a place vastly different from home such as a ballroom. It's really just passion about this and that, someone who is passionate over something will have changed for the better, and become more assured; whether that change is good for others or not. Neo Bilal might be wrong, but he's certainly not mistaken.
I remember being 5 years old and watching the launch on TV, then running outside to see if I could see them going to the moon. I became a sci-fi nerd ever after.
I was 7 years old when the moon landing occurred, and what really brought home the significance of the event was seeing Walter Cronkite, the "Most Trusted Man In America", being moved to tears. It was quite an event, to be sure. A close second was watching the Falcon Heavy boosters perform a near perfect automated synchronized landing. 👍
@@roberine7241 I don't know if I saw the first landing or not. I was gaining long term memory then. ~4 y.o. Apollo 11, but I remember the later ones in 70' -'72... certainly.

True, but, like a baby taking their first steps, those first steps are crucial. The moon may not be far galatically, but it will always serve as the biggest first in all of human history; the first time we left Earth and went to another celestial body. We may be able to run miles or hundreds of miles, but nothing (other than taking your first breath) is more important as an accomplishment as that first step.
At one point it was thought that travelling with the speed of a shitty old steam engine would destroy the human body as a long term effect. Laughable as balls today. May our current reality be laughable as balls in the future

Got curious. Did some googling. There's almost the same amount of time from Columbus finding the "New World" to the founding of the first settlement.

Then again you have flat earthers that have flown 40,000 feet, seen the curvature of the earth and still take to the internet.
@@FormerGovernmentHuman The flat earther thing is hilarious when you realize that anyone can stick a video camera to a modern drone or giant balloon or whatever and just fly it up and look :p
@@Reelix extreme cognitive dissonance
I think one of the astronauts punched a guy who did exactly that, didn't he?
Reelix I don’t think any flat earther has a drone tbh
I was lucky enough to not only be alive during the moon landings, but to actually watch Apollo 11 lift off over the trees and buildings of my house in Cocoa, Florida, just miles away. My nine-year-old self repeated, "I have to remember this". And I have, so many years later.
i mean, it was a rocket launch, it was apollo 11, id imagine thatd be quite memorable
@@chickencurry69420 I'd seen several Apollo launches, both before and after 11. 17 was probably the best, because it was the only night launch of a Saturn V. Amazing. I also saw the Challenger explosion with my own eyes in the skies above my house. I won't forget that one either.
I was alive to watch discovery blow up in front of my fellow 3rd graders in class. The silence was absolutely hilarious as the teacher quickly walked over to the tv to turn it off, speechless.
From Cocoa Florida, you were how far away, and could you have a fairly quiet conversation or was it like 80db? I was 15 in my grandmother’s house in Orange, Ca. There were no decent TV remotes, so my grandfather built a finished table with TV controls wired to it.
@@jedgould5531 It's less than 20 miles in a straight line. Once the sound wave reached you it would rattle the window panes (if they were cranked open). The Saturn V's were much louder than the Shuttles, but you could still converse with someone next to you. The sound is similar to an earthquake.
Ok but "A Boy Scout with a badge for spitting in the face of death" is one hell of a line
YEAH it is.
I actually have that badge... Well, not that exact badge since I'm in a different country, but an analog. Me and my patrol got stuck in a thunderstorm while canoeing on a lake. There was a lightning strike just a few hundred meters away, and our boat almost got toppled over from the waves. We were screaming and praying to god thinking we were going to die, we were taking in water and my friend was trying to get it out using his boot as a bucket, meanwhile l tried to keep the boat from toppling over. Never been so scared in my life, but never have I had so much fun either.
If there is a god somewhere, he either saved us that day, or he was just really pissed off with us. Either one is plausible.

My dad was an aerospace engineer in the 60s. He worked for Martin Marietta, designing ICBMs, when I was born in Denver (no shit, it says "Father's place of employment: Missile Plant" on my birth certificate). He got hired by a NASA subcontractor in 1966, and we moved to Huntsville Alabama, where all the Apollo design work was done. My daddy was a spaceman, all the kid's daddies were spacemen. He worked there all the way through the Skylab missions, then in 73, it all wound down, and he found work in the nuclear field, and we moved away.
I have a coin from him, they gave one out to all the key people, made from the metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and stamped with a caption and picture of the event.

About the "hostility" in the space race:
Ultimately, it was the perfect example what a "war", even a cold one, should be. A competition between scientists and engineers, not to see who can make the most intercontinental nuclear missiles, but rather who can make the best scientific vessel to go somewhere we hadn't even dreamt of going before.
It may not have been the friendliest competition in the history of humanity, but it was certainly one of the friendliest stand-ins for a war, as ultimately, it wasn't about hurting or sabotaging the others, but improving the own designs.
No it was always about power. First one to weaponize space would certainly gain an advantage.

You and all other YT creators who care about Science and Space exploration, you guys are the ones speaking out to young people and making us remember why we started this journey. Thanks man.
Good luck with your degree. I hope engineering expands your horizons (coming from another engineering major). Exurb1a's channel has really helped me find my focus.
Lord FLako How do you guys do it? How do you push through your homework? I want to be an engineer too, but I am struggling so much
Big Stud for me, I have different perspectives. Yeah there are times when I don’t want to do assignments, but I view it as going to the gym, or cleaning your room. Something you don’t want to do, but is necessary. Also, remind yourself why you’re doing this to begin with. Just like the gym, it takes practice and dedication. I often find that whenever I push myself to do my assignments when I least want to, is when I end up learning the most and being happy cause I was able to make that A. “C is good enough” is not a mentality you want to have. Sure C’s are ‘good enough’, but you want to reach your full potential. And as an engineer, seeing different perspectives to a problem and solving the problem is a necessary trait you must adapt.... in other words, suck it up, do the work, cause when you look back you’ll be glad you did it, and when you look forward you’ll be ready for the next step... also don’t stress yourself, take your time and dedicate large amounts of time to studying. You’ll find yourself having fun and if you don’t already feel a passion for it, it’ll start to spark it. 👍🏽 anyways good luck, I hope this helps in some type of way.
Lord FLako Wow, that was a great response. That helps me out. Thanks for your time!

Nah his finally got it together and motivating us to be good turtle lovers awight?awight.
Big apologies, it won't happen again

@@Exurb1a You do positive and wholesome as well, if not better, than the whole terrifying mundanity of existence stuff. Please continue.
exurb1a good, that’s the fucking spirit
I will also be crying my eyes out...
Why does this get me so emotional? It's so magnificent.
i thought i wouldn't cry watching humans land on mars but then i choked up just watching the rover landing... im gonna be an emotional mess when that shit finally happens
Shit, I was tearing up just watching this video. How can something so funny be so inspirational? If someone came up to me and said "Hey, we have a rocket ready, aimed at mars. You will never return and most likely die up there. Do you want to go?" I would have to say yes. Some things are much more important than my measly life.
@@macehilmatecilof4140 Same dude, I'd go if I was approached for it too.

This channel is a perfect mix of deep, makes-you-think content, and funny humoristic content.
and of course, depressive nihilism. and, somehow, optimistic nihilism at the same time.
😂You ppl crack me up, royally!

How did Don Petit the astroNOT put it, “ I’d go back to the moon in a nanosecond, but we don’t have that technology anymore, we used to, but we destroyed it, and it’s a painful process to build it back again”!!😮😂😂
They claim they taped-over some of the telemetry and lost the remainder of the info used for the guidance systems!
You’re telling me the most paramount thing human beings has ever done in the history of the world, and ‘they’ lost & taped-over what!?!?!?

Man it hurts hearing “back to the moon by 2024” and we’re still waiting
I recently forgot your channels name, proceeded to search for “space turtle” and it was actually the first result I got
Depression turtle worked a bit too
I find "Existentialism Turtle" the best
confirmed actually first result is his channel
Turtle channel nearly gets first result so putting anything with turtle would most likely work
Wow, your right. It actually worked
Here's my monthly dose of existential crisis.
There's no existential crisis. What's going on?!
Maby he just forgot to add the twist, something like 50 years later this epic mission will be remembered as a lie and impossible and staged by unimaginative and angry hairy apes
SOOOOOOOOOOORRY

@@Exurb1a As the video is about part of the history of spave travel, I am fine with not having an existential crisis.
In short: Thanks for the video.

And people say we monkey around,,
Usually his videos fill me with overwhelming dread, When this one filled me with just about the opposite, Once the video ended, I looked out my window and verbally spoke, “Damn, Humans are badass.”
im here just thinking, how fucking high is this guy?
Humans 𝒂𝒓𝒆 badass! But we’re not perfect. We have our bad points.
Like wars, lab created bio weapons, traitorous government officials, brainwashing media narratives, Bill Gates, and flat earth videos.
But for the most part, Humans are 𝒂𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆!
Usually these videos give me the comic relief That i need after a hard day at work... And this one didn't let me down ...
You are one sharp tack in the life of stripped bolts and nuts!
“We are currently audacity monkey’s, but we could be forever monkeys.” One of my all time favorites.
As goofy as you can be somtimes , i started tearing up when you mentioned stepping onto mars. Just the idea that our species has literally endless potetional to explore the universe if we could just figure out how .

Oh Jeracraft, its you, love your vids
It's weird seeing someone I recognize here. This is usually my alone space.
Oh... Jeracraft... well I'll be darned, but it never really occurred to me that youtubers probably watch other youtubers' videos. I now feel like an idiot. Nevertheless, I love the builds you've done in Minecraft.

SCIENTIFIC FACT : "The more you know about astronomy the more humble you'll become "
Then how come neil degrasse tyson is so. not-humble
@@littelcreatchure506 maybe he is not a real scientist! Or you misunderstood him !
Sorry but that is not a scientific fact, that is just your opinion
@@lowkey_entertaining9723 // Now now don't be so pessimistic, there are some points to what he said despite the world-views present here. Most likely, he's talking about all things a person can find passion in.
A person who can be passionate about astronomy will most likely turn humble at the realization of how insignificantly small the each of us are.
This most likely will apply to astronauts who have been to space.
Those who made it to the moon will leave all semblance of history that our world made, into a place entirely unknown, a place more harsh than the place we're all born from; to leave behind earth and travel to space, is to subsequently realize and acknowledge the many subsequent miracles that happen in the earth.
And anyone who is passionate about Astronomy, will at some point want to see this kind of view that captivates the hearts of astronauts alike; just breathing in a place outside of the planet is already making history itself.
But it doesn't have to be exactly that example only, nor does it have to be astrology in its entirely, it can be creative writing, singing in the music industry, dancing in a place vastly different from home such as a ballroom.
It's really just passion about this and that, someone who is passionate over something will have changed for the better, and become more assured; whether that change is good for others or not.
Neo Bilal might be wrong, but he's certainly not mistaken.
@@horence2360 this is really what I wanted to tell him, but I hadn't enough time to write all these magnificent words . Thank you .

is that there aren't enough of them

"Bigger than Pluto by the way, but most things are."
What a savage
The moon isn't really a moon. Earth is a binary planet system.
@@jeupater1429 It's not a planet, planets are just wandering stars.
Pluto is in the "extra-large" crew
We learned from new horizons that Pluto is in reality a very complex and dynamic place What ever you call it a rose by any name would smell as sweet
@@rap1df1r3 planets are not made of extremely hot plamsma
I remember being 5 years old and watching the launch on TV, then running outside to see if I could see them going to the moon. I became a sci-fi nerd ever after.
How it must have felt to witness it.
I was 7 years old when the moon landing occurred, and what really brought home the significance of the event was seeing Walter Cronkite, the "Most Trusted Man In America", being moved to tears. It was quite an event, to be sure.
A close second was watching the Falcon Heavy boosters perform a near perfect automated synchronized landing. 👍
@@roberine7241 I don't know if I saw the first landing or not. I was gaining long term memory then. ~4 y.o. Apollo 11, but I remember the later ones in 70' -'72... certainly. I was sad when they threw in the towel. The notion that it was fake is so stupid, I have to comment that the Soviets said it happened. They know how shit works and the telemetry was perfect, all shadows made sense to them. All the rocks were published to give the Theia (sp?) collision hypothesis have more evidence on the formation the moon. Most people don't know this, but w/o the moon the tilt of the earth would be chaotic.

2 centuries later: lol imagine going to the moon and it being like a big deal
True, but, like a baby taking their first steps, those first steps are crucial. The moon may not be far galatically, but it will always serve as the biggest first in all of human history; the first time we left Earth and went to another celestial body.
We may be able to run miles or hundreds of miles, but nothing (other than taking your first breath) is more important as an accomplishment as that first step.
At one point it was thought that travelling with the speed of a shitty old steam engine would destroy the human body as a long term effect.
Laughable as balls today.
May our current reality be laughable as balls in the future
It should be like a petrol station rest room by now
@Mister Physics you aren't supposed to have water in your lungs in the first place. You don't get far if you've already doubted something you aren't even doing yet.
mommy I don't wanna go to the moon!! It's soooo boooooring. Can we go to disneyland instead please please pleaaaaaase??
Now honey, you know the people of the 21st century dark ages only dreamt of going to the moon...
oh fine...
Yayy!!!

Brilliant. One of best YT videos ever. How refreshing.
i like the way you say "WHICH WE WILL" so assertively. you've got a lot of confidence in humanity, i admire you.
I wish I could have this much confidence... I hope we can some day.. I really do.
Got curious. Did some googling.
There's almost the same amount of time from Columbus finding the "New World" to the founding of the first settlement. Which was Roanoke and failed, but later Jamestown succeeded.
I've lost track of my sentence construction.
Pick it up ... to the first lunar landing and the Artemis program which plans to STAY.
Although the moon is much tougher environment than the Western Hemisphere.
So actually, we're pretty much on schedule.

These videos always make me cry at the end. You're a great storyteller.
“For me, the most ironic moment in that moment in history is the plaque signed by president Richard M Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon. It reads “we came in peace, for all mankind”. As the United States was dropping 7.5 megatons of conventional explosives on small counties in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity: we could do no harm on this lifeless rock” -Carl Sagan
Does anyone really buy that in 200 years in our Star Trek future humans will have evolved into benevolent beings? I say not a chance.
@@clayz1 wel did anyone 200 years ago really buy that we would land on the moon? Pretty sure 200 years ago they wouldnt even believe that black people/woman would have the same rights as all other people. But hey, atleast you can give urself an excuse to call yourself worthless and dont do anything with your life.
@@clayz1 Unless we hit some severe technological stagnation, we'll probably have had to make some huge strides in that direction to've avoided some kind of civilization-ending "oops".
The United States _did not_ drop any bombs on the moon, Ryebread, so we went in peace.
