About "If you have any info on this". I was in the Finnish Army 1977 and we made Intel 8080-based tester for Russian Missile Controller. The tester generated various flight paths and verified the controller outputs. The original Russian tester was all optical, it read parameters optically from a film and write dots on film with blinkin lights. I only briefly saw that Russian tester and it was round brown "hat box" very much like that.
Having an optical format like that is kind of wild. Utterly bizarre to my mind to combine optical read write with tape, but I suppose I've seen something similar before with audio on film at one point.
So fun to listen in on. Two crazy space-geeks (in the best possible meaning), geeking out on space stuff. SO awesome. Thank you for this. And thousands of thanks to Steve Jurvetson for collecting all of this amazing stuff. You both ROCK.
Regarding the tape wrapped around the Instrument Unit components: There's a former IBMer who volunteers at the US Space & Rocket Center who actually emailed about this: "There were thermal issues with the sublimator used for cooling; it cooled too well. Early missions actually added an extra battery and heaters on several of the cold plates to keep from freezing some of the components. The batteries and heaters added cost and weight. They also interfered with the desire to use the fourth battery to power the CCS Transponder and CCS Power Amplifier for ~80 hours until lunar impact. "It was determined that there was enough heat generated by the equipment so if more heat could be ‘held in the system’ then the sublimator temperature control would be OK. So, most of the equipment and all of the cold plates were covered with aluminum tape [the kind used in HVAC ductwork]."
My first thought was that it was intended to improve electrical bonding and, perhaps, improve static screening of equipment… possibly also offering increased protection against induced effects of lightning strike to the airframe. However, the overlaps between neighbouring strips of the tape are not too well controlled and I would question the consistency of a surface conduction path across these connections. Have to remember the overlaps have a layer of adhesive separating them. So … on balance … maybe the purpose is, indeed, simply an attempt to tweak the thermal management of the unit. Adding layers of tape will increase the thermal mass of the case and the adhesive layer will have some effect on the through-thickness heat transfer, whilst the aluminium layer will also help diffuse heat mapping laterally across the surface. It might actually be a combination of both improving thermal management whilst still minimising potential static charge on outer surfaces of the equipment, which adding a more traditional insulating layer might result in? A good point of discussion 🤔
Are you referring to Mr. Luke Talley? He was with IBM and is a USSRC docent. Destin (Smarter Every Day) has a GREAT video with him if so! We live in Huntsville, and I had a way to privately reach him. When my daughters 3rd grade class went for the frield trip and I was asked to be a chaperone for my knowledge of history regarding manned space flight, rocketry, etc so I spoke to Luke to get a REAL professional for the kids to hang out with. He met us there 15 minutes prior, was actually not working that day, but came anyway and spent a few hours with the kids. He even gave my daughter and I our own private tour afterward to go spend some time with some things she's very interested in. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Talley, great man!
@@GoatPilot04 Yes, it was Luke. I visit the USSRC at least once a year, and I always spend time with him. He has some awesome stories, and in addition to knowing just about everything about the Instrument Unit, he knows a whole lot about most of the Apollo program.
Except ya'll are discussing the Kardashians and what brand of jeans Kim was wearing. So it is different. JK. Nobody like that would be on Scott's channel. Tho, something could happen with these two guys... so happy together... finishing each other's sentences... sparks were flying (/^-^(^ ^*)/ That got me thinking. What if you found a co-worker, a person, a friend, a chick or a dude that loved what you loved and your conversations were animated and electric like these on the video. And you both were attracted to each other and had crazy, hot sex and there was something about you that drove them into a lustful frenzy. But the conversations were just as fun as the sex.
The energy Scott and Steve have in these videos reminds me of when my train nerd friends get together and look at a cool locomotive. It’s the same excited freneticism, I love it!

I have met Steve a few times at wildlife conservation events where we have had our ambassador cheetahs. Steve’s photo of Kgosi, our “king” cheetah, is on the Wikipedia article about cheetahs. I knew at the time I met him that he was collecting space memorabilia, but I had no idea of the scale and scope of his collection. I have to confess that I am a bit jealous of your opportunity to get such a detailed, personal tour of his collection!
I'm loving every minute of these. This is absolutely how 2 people who love a topic interact "So this.." "no way, you have one?" "yea, but it was a story on how. So it started, oh, that came from this mission" "it even has the scratches" "oh you know about those? I was told it was important but they never responded ti explain" "well you see, uh, do you have a thing that I can compare it to?" "I have 3" "3?! I only know 2 versions..." it's basically perpetual incomplete interactions of pure joy and back and forth knowledge share. As I know it from Meet the Robinson's: "I know this place like the back of my hand... oh, that's new"
Imagine being able to hold in your hand a chunk of lava that had _melted and flowed_ in a protoplanet that _existed and was destroyed before Earth was formed!_ What an unbelievable experience!
Fantastic collection and videos. Looking forward to watching all of them! VTR expert here. Your tape recorder with the speckled tape is a conventional linear tape recorder. There are two prominent structures that are almost certainly fixed head stacks. The threading path shown on the lid is also that of a fixed head linear tape recorder. A recorder with helical scan would have a rotating head with a complex set of tape guides to make sure the tape wraps around the head at a precise angle. Instead, the stacked tape reels are done to conserve space. By stacking at an angle, it makes it easier to achieve a spot where the tape can pass linearly over the heads. Most of the tape guides are there to create this place for the heads. I tend to agree with the other posters about the speckles on the tape. I seriously doubt that they would manufacture a tape that way. In any case, an interesting device!
Mars rock on Steve's work desk! This amazing collection comes to life with Steve and Scott's enthusiasm and knowledge! I hope lots of kid's physics classes get to watch these videos.

Scott. Something to share with you. In the mid 80s I went to Kennedy, and was in the museum. There was a space suit sitting in a chair, like at the start of this episode. Then, I heard the most blood curdling, female shriek of my life, and I'm 75. She had sat in the space suits lap so a friend could take her picture. The suit was occupied and grabbed her. I'm sitting here just now and can't stop laughing laughing.
thrown casualy: "Oh, do you wanna hold Mars?" "Oh yes, a chunk of Mars. " I shall watch this tour many many many times and live vicariously through your Iphone lens.
Oh, greed. Anyone with this much money & this many historic artifacts should open a museum. I understand wanting a few of these objects on private display, in your home or office, but you could do that with stuff not on exhibit. It wouldn’t cost much more to do this in a way that isn’t selfish. I despise this guy.
Omg omg omg omg so much cool stuff in such a "little" space!! 😍 so envyus you get to see all this stuff, and talk about it. At least we can see it from the screen 😄 thanks for sharing all of this ❤
In the late '70s/early '80s I worked at McDonnell Douglas' Electronics division doing electronic module and assembly testing, both during manufacturing and service & repair. Besides the newest technology, from time to time we'd need to work on older devices for things like the F-101 Voodoo and F-4 Phantom, for both flight and ground support. So much of the devices you showed from Mercury, Gemini and Apollo looked so familiar. And those "non-ICs"! I want to say we referred to them as "hybrids" or "hybrid circuit modules". There were also actual ICs in "flat pack" packages, very similar to modern surface-mount chips only with tiny leads sticking out the sides. Thank you both for Parts 1 & 2, looking forward to Part 3!
"How would he keep this collection from degrading in our atmosphere?" By using a nitrogen atmosphere. When classic cars are stored in a nitrogen gas filled bag, all one has to do is connect the ground strap to the battery and it's ready to go, even after being stored for a decade with our modern degrading gasoline in the tank. The only problem is keeping the bag inflated while connected to a regulator to keep it slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. As that regulator is connected to a large bottle of nitrogen gas that needs to have pressure for all those years...
This makes me sick. These pieces should be in a real museum, with professional care and among people who MATTER. Instead we have some rich narcissist showing off his money and ignorance. The bitch goddess is not without a sense of humour it seems.
You and other Space content creators seriously need to talk about these SpaceX live stream scams. There are so many of them and they draw in 100s of thousands of views. Worst of all, no one is talking about it and youtube does absolutely nothing!!
@@extragoogleaccount6061 i think its self explanatory. When a video first drops on popular channels, hundreds of bots swarm to that channel and post/like/reply their own comments in order to put it at the top of the list. Usually they have a profile picture related to the topic, and try to convince the reader that the people they watch are investing in or buying something that doesnt exist, and that theyd be a fool not to buy or invest in the same thing. Often they direct you to another channel or emphasize a keyword. The unreasonable ammount of traffic on the comment causes the reader to search, leading them to the channel. They find inactive users who have posted videos of themselves, hack them, and replace the channel description with a malicious link where the scam lives.
The excitement and enthusiasm in the comments to these videos is amazing. Everyone loves this stuff. Goes to show that it should all be in a public museum for everyone's benefit. Letting one spoiled rich boy hoard it to himself is bad for all of us, and especially for getting the youngest generation excited about science.
Had to rewatch the Apollo 11 footage to see Neils jump back up r.e the crush core in the landing legs. These videos were again so brilliant. Glad you are having fun Scott.
Years ago I had a couple of laminated orbit charts from the Gemini and Apollo programs, showing antenna ranges and recovery ranges and such, produced when my dad was at the Defense Mapping Agency. He told me they'd been laminated for use by naval recovery teams on the water. They don't seem to be that rare; searching for them reveals many for sale. But I wonder where those are now--I might have them squirreled away somewhere.
One of the partners at my last PE firm was an avid collector of science relics. He basically used the firm as a storage space (read: museum). In the early days of the firm, some on my team rolled out to the garage and spotted in his collection what was a backup Apollo rocket motor. He had this kind of stuff everywhere. It was like a private Bell Labs.
These 2 guys Get it, unlike sadly so many on planet earth, What an amazing universe we live in, we all need to learn something new every day. Thanks to all the brave pioneers, those that have gone before, and those yet to boldly go! Thanks Scott 🙂
Wonderful when fans get together and even more special as I was a distant follower of early space, still have all my space stamps and afew press releases/pics sent to me from nasa and jodrell bank. I did not make a space flight but became a sport diver..glider pilot and aerial photographer plus a sci fi film nerd ( and other adventures which could fill a book ! )
So many great museums I'll never see. We used to have an amazing PC history museum with interactive set-ups, I donated a Tandy 1000-ex once and had a look around. But, I would have liked to have visited again before the owner and sole curator died. Nobody wanted to/could take over, so the museum is gone.
1:56 that’s amazing! I really really enjoyed this guy showing off his “replica” SpaceX poppin panel! It looks so realistic! There you go, buddy! I just saved you the hassle of fighting with anyone trying to claim it as their property! Simply, it’s a replica! ;-)
I worked for Perot Systems from 1995 until 2009. Ross Perot displayed several items from the Russian (USSR?) space program. One interesting item was a dummy, with parachute. The story went that it landed near a village where the locals tried to help this person. They were angered when the people swooped in to recover the dummy because they were not allowed to help the "frozen" man.
I would say the chute hatch didn't get washed after being in salt water and the salt crystals grew pushing paint off ! just a thought and seen many boats with same damage
2:40 the way the surface looks and given what it's made out of, a lot of the peeling is because the paint fell off as the panel buckled off as it was ejected. I've seen this many times with rigid type paint laid on thin metal. The patterns are almost identical to one that's been ripped at high speed by wind - that i once saw.
That soyuz mission clock is something. Come across a lot of old space hardware but i have never seen one of those come up. God what id do to add that to my collection.
I wonder if maybe he was looking at an original Moon landing TV broadcast, the live broadcast used the Goldstone, California image for the first minute and forty seconds and was dark and nearly indecipherable, including of course the first thirty seconds being upside down (the camera was stowed upside down in the MESA and someone at Goldstone forgot to flip a switch to reverse it). Many later documentaries and even supposed live broadcasts swap out the Goldstone image for Honeysuckle Creek in Canberra which was much sharper, and you can much more clearly see Armstrong coming down on the LM footpad then jumping back up onto the ladder and back down again. Fortunately the actual live broadcast switched to Canberra thirty seconds before the first step.
That "data recorder" looks like it may have been an ancestor to the eight track tape where the tape on is on a single roll that connects from the outside to the inside to feed back in on itself.
Scott sometimes you have to read the room and let a guy have his moment to tell what something is vs you saying or showing how much you know before they can. It’s fine knowing a lot but being smart is knowing when to let others have their moment. Other wise great video.
I just experienced the almost obscene range of brain stim, from auditing a nuclear space propulsion lecture to then going to a car show with my best buddy. Thank you for that Scott.
the pattern on that tape looks like it could just be oxidation or corrosion of some sort because it was opened. Adhering bits of iron oxide to tape was tough and something the soviet union specifically had a lot of problems with. That's just my first guess
An awesome collection of space history. Thank you for sharing your tour with us Scott. My thanks to Mr Juvetson for permitting you to show off his collection.

These may be your 2 best videos ever. I keep re-winding them over and over. I LOVE this stuff man. I'm so jealous I can smell it
It is SO much fun watching you see random chunks of metal and nail exactly what they are.
Fascinating! The hardware-wow! And that meteorite from a 4.65 billion year old protoplanet is something I never even heard of before. Thank you!
No better way to spend a lunch break - hell yeah
Scott. Something to share with you. In the mid 80s I went to Kennedy, and was in the museum. There was a space suit sitting in a chair, like at the start of this episode. Then, I heard the most blood curdling, female shriek of my life, and I'm 75. She had sat in the space suits lap so a friend could take her picture. The suit was occupied and grabbed her. I'm sitting here just now and can't stop laughing laughing.
Awesome series! Steve is one lucky space geek to have the resources to pursue a collection like this!
It was Pete Conrad on Apollo 12 who said small one for Neil... This is a great tour
Really, REALLY interesting! Can't wait for part three.
thrown casualy:
"Oh, do you wanna hold Mars?"
"Oh yes, a chunk of Mars. "
I shall watch this tour many many many times and live vicariously through your Iphone lens.
That is Mars. That big red thing in the sky is just a very large chunk.
I was waiting for the rock to split open and goo to spill out all over his arm like in "The Blob", the one with Steve McQueen not the remake. 😅
amazing collection you can tell the passion and desire to transfer all of the detailed knowledge on every single object.
I found this quite a treat to watch, even though I have little to no knowledge of the subject. The excitement you both share is palpable
How does one individual get their hands on so much Iconic and historical artifacts.! So very impressive.
I'm at the end and I am blown away. Awsome collection.
Oh, greed. Anyone with this much money & this many historic artifacts should open a museum. I understand wanting a few of these objects on private display, in your home or office, but you could do that with stuff not on exhibit. It wouldn’t cost much more to do this in a way that isn’t selfish. I despise this guy.
Love, dedication and determination.

Thanks for letting us know ur a hateful pos, but no one asked.
@@sunnyjim1355 ...and money.
The oldest meteorite is the elagabal.
Been around since ancient Egyptian times.
It appeared in a James Bond film - the one in a crater in Morocco.

Great video with so much cool stuff. Fun to watch as you got to explore some great space history. 😊
Amazing collection, it's great that you've been allowed to share this with us all Scott.
Thank you so much Steve and Scott for this great tour!
Silver tape is often used as a thermal treatment on boxes located in interiors
Omg omg omg omg so much cool stuff in such a "little" space!! 😍 so envyus you get to see all this stuff, and talk about it. At least we can see it from the screen 😄 thanks for sharing all of this ❤
Thank you for taking us along for another fascinating look at this fellows MAGNIFICIENT collection.
Peaceful Skies.
In the late '70s/early '80s I worked at McDonnell Douglas' Electronics division doing electronic module and assembly testing, both during manufacturing and service & repair. Besides the newest technology, from time to time we'd need to work on older devices for things like the F-101 Voodoo and F-4 Phantom, for both flight and ground support. So much of the devices you showed from Mercury, Gemini and Apollo looked so familiar. And those "non-ICs"! I want to say we referred to them as "hybrids" or "hybrid circuit modules". There were also actual ICs in "flat pack" packages, very similar to modern surface-mount chips only with tiny leads sticking out the sides.
Thank you both for Parts 1 & 2, looking forward to Part 3!
I love how genuinely interested he is
This is an amazing collection! How would he keep this collection from degrading in our atmosphere? Preservation must be a job unto itself.
WoW !
"How would he keep this collection from degrading in our atmosphere?"
By using a nitrogen atmosphere. When classic cars are stored in a nitrogen gas filled bag, all one has to do is connect the ground strap to the battery and it's ready to go, even after being stored for a decade with our modern degrading gasoline in the tank. The only problem is keeping the bag inflated while connected to a regulator to keep it slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. As that regulator is connected to a large bottle of nitrogen gas that needs to have pressure for all those years...
Crazy collection. Life is sure fun when you have endless money!
This makes me sick. These pieces should be in a real museum, with professional care and among people who MATTER. Instead we have some rich narcissist showing off his money and ignorance. The bitch goddess is not without a sense of humour it seems.
So freakin' cool. I'd spend an entire day pouring over the details in this space.
That mechanical clocks sound is incredible. It would drive me insane, but it is also immensely satisfying
You and other Space content creators seriously need to talk about these SpaceX live stream scams. There are so many of them and they draw in 100s of thousands of views. Worst of all, no one is talking about it and youtube does absolutely nothing!!
Yes!
Only dumb fools fall for those, since I'm not, I couldn't care less.
Fake views.
What are they? Can you describe it a bit more?
@@extragoogleaccount6061 i think its self explanatory. When a video first drops on popular channels, hundreds of bots swarm to that channel and post/like/reply their own comments in order to put it at the top of the list. Usually they have a profile picture related to the topic, and try to convince the reader that the people they watch are investing in or buying something that doesnt exist, and that theyd be a fool not to buy or invest in the same thing. Often they direct you to another channel or emphasize a keyword. The unreasonable ammount of traffic on the comment causes the reader to search, leading them to the channel. They find inactive users who have posted videos of themselves, hack them, and replace the channel description with a malicious link where the scam lives.
Arrrggghhh again with the cliff hangers! You do know how to engross an audience. Well done.
The excitement and enthusiasm in the comments to these videos is amazing. Everyone loves this stuff. Goes to show that it should all be in a public museum for everyone's benefit. Letting one spoiled rich boy hoard it to himself is bad for all of us, and especially for getting the youngest generation excited about science.
OMG.
He definitelly got me at "Do want to hold mars"?
Then casually handing moon... Come on! :D
The whole series is marvelous :D
Had to rewatch the Apollo 11 footage to see Neils jump back up r.e the crush core in the landing legs. These videos were again so brilliant. Glad you are having fun Scott.
So very good to hear the excitement from both of you. I would hope that some day my granddaughters would be able to do the same.
Years ago I had a couple of laminated orbit charts from the Gemini and Apollo programs, showing antenna ranges and recovery ranges and such, produced when my dad was at the Defense Mapping Agency. He told me they'd been laminated for use by naval recovery teams on the water. They don't seem to be that rare; searching for them reveals many for sale. But I wonder where those are now--I might have them squirreled away somewhere.
Cool! DMA was one of the predecessor agencies to what is now NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency)
One of your best videos ever. Love seeing all that old space tech.
This is great! I am having so much fun watching you take a personal guided tour of Mr. Steve's personal museum. :D
One of the partners at my last PE firm was an avid collector of science relics. He basically used the firm as a storage space (read: museum). In the early days of the firm, some on my team rolled out to the garage and spotted in his collection what was a backup Apollo rocket motor. He had this kind of stuff everywhere. It was like a private Bell Labs.
Man, that chunk of the protoplanet with the beautiful shiny lava crystals 🤩
This is a playground for space nerds like me !
These 2 guys Get it, unlike sadly so many on planet earth, What an amazing universe we live in, we all need to learn something new every day. Thanks to all the brave pioneers, those that have gone before, and those yet to boldly go! Thanks Scott 🙂
Wonderful when fans get together and even more special as I was a distant follower of early space, still have all my space stamps and afew press releases/pics sent to me from nasa and jodrell bank. I did not make a space flight but became a sport diver..glider pilot and aerial photographer plus a sci fi film nerd ( and other adventures which could fill a book ! )
So many great museums I'll never see. We used to have an amazing PC history museum with interactive set-ups, I donated a Tandy 1000-ex once and had a look around. But, I would have liked to have visited again before the owner and sole curator died. Nobody wanted to/could take over, so the museum is gone.
Loving this series, having a geekgasm over this collection.
that round solid rocket engine in the background packs a real punch in my early KSP rp1 modpack playthroughs
1:56 that’s amazing! I really really enjoyed this guy showing off his “replica” SpaceX poppin panel! It looks so realistic!
There you go, buddy! I just saved you the hassle of fighting with anyone trying to claim it as their property! Simply, it’s a replica! ;-)
I worked for Perot Systems from 1995 until 2009. Ross Perot displayed several items from the Russian (USSR?) space program. One interesting item was a dummy, with parachute. The story went that it landed near a village where the locals tried to help this person. They were angered when the people swooped in to recover the dummy because they were not allowed to help the "frozen" man.
I would say the chute hatch didn't get washed after being in salt water and the salt crystals grew pushing paint off ! just a thought and seen many boats with same damage
wow ... just wow, what an amazing collection
Very glad to hear there's a part three, this is awesome!
2:40 the way the surface looks and given what it's made out of, a lot of the peeling is because the paint fell off as the panel buckled off as it was ejected. I've seen this many times with rigid type paint laid on thin metal. The patterns are almost identical to one that's been ripped at high speed by wind - that i once saw.
What an awesome collection! What a treat.
This series is shaping up real good!
🤔💡 Watch as Scott Manley visits a candy store 😋👏👍🏼
Thanks a lot for sharing these incredible stories, Scott ! :)
That soyuz mission clock is something. Come across a lot of old space hardware but i have never seen one of those come up. God what id do to add that to my collection.
Just an amazing selection of hardware. Wonderful.
That would be so cool to tour Steve's collection!
I wonder if maybe he was looking at an original Moon landing TV broadcast, the live broadcast used the Goldstone, California image for the first minute and forty seconds and was dark and nearly indecipherable, including of course the first thirty seconds being upside down (the camera was stowed upside down in the MESA and someone at Goldstone forgot to flip a switch to reverse it). Many later documentaries and even supposed live broadcasts swap out the Goldstone image for Honeysuckle Creek in Canberra which was much sharper, and you can much more clearly see Armstrong coming down on the LM footpad then jumping back up onto the ladder and back down again. Fortunately the actual live broadcast switched to Canberra thirty seconds before the first step.
All that analog equipment is just awesome.
That "data recorder" looks like it may have been an ancestor to the eight track tape where the tape on is on a single roll that connects from the outside to the inside to feed back in on itself.
Would of loved to see your face as you browsed the collections, eyes wide open like a kid in a candy store! Andbyes, I'm envious as hell. 😊
Foldaway seats...like a rear facing 68 Chev Station Wagon!
Scott sometimes you have to read the room and let a guy have his moment to tell what something is vs you saying or showing how much you know before they can. It’s fine knowing a lot but being smart is knowing when to let others have their moment. Other wise great video.
wow scott great to see so many rare and important historical objects
I just experienced the almost obscene range of brain stim, from auditing a nuclear space propulsion lecture to then going to a car show with my best buddy. Thank you for that Scott.
the pattern on that tape looks like it could just be oxidation or corrosion of some sort because it was opened. Adhering bits of iron oxide to tape was tough and something the soviet union specifically had a lot of problems with. That's just my first guess
Pretty sure a few fishermen have caught some Dragon drogue parachute parafnalia.....
Im a Mercury nerd to the Core!!.. and that charred painted panel of Sigma 7 thats barely larger than Schirra' fat head was Beautiful!
"Can you make it to space with cellphones as computers?" I would love such a video!
See “Iron Sky” for hilarious proof.
An awesome collection of space history. Thank you for sharing your tour with us Scott. My thanks to Mr Juvetson for permitting you to show off his collection.
Great Video ! The State of New Mexico has the Space History Museum that is SE of the Trinity Site in central NM ! West of I-25 is the VLA and on the way you pass by a Telescope Museum ! The UNM in Albuquerque, NM has a small Meteorite Museum and a famous Geologist from Southern New Mexico who studies rocks from space and the moon... (over qualified and under paid Prof.) (was also a Prof. at UW-Madison) ! Yes, do visit New Mexico, the rocket friendly State ! Also Prof. Goddard worked in the Roswell area (Visit the FREE City Museum in Roswell that is North of the UFO museum ($$.$$) ! tjl P.S. The Crown Space Center at the MSI in Chicago, Illinois has the Apollo 8 Capsule ! ! !
Thanks Scott, always great topics.
Those springs are the same on my off-road Toyota,vl dealer item.
Kids in a candy store. I love the enthusiasm.
