It didn't matter to us youngsters back then that the Soviet Union was America's sworn enemy, Yuri was a hero, Buck Roger's come to life. No matter the SU is long dead, or that the new Russia is led by a pig; once upon a time they had a real hero. He too had "The Right Stuff". Truly, "to go where no man has gone before" is the meat of every legend. Long may he be remembered.🎉
As an American too young to have been there when it all happened, only the most indoctrinated, brain dead fool could deny what a hero Yuri was. As you said, national borders mean nothing to this. He is up there on the same level as any American, including Armstrong. Yuri learned to walk, so they could run.
Stupid AI photos, just keep the camera on the narrator if you don’t have any real photos. They interrupt the videos instead of helping the video flow along. Please take care, thanks.
@@airin.unohanaI believe some dispute between him and the owner of Geographics and Biographics so they replaced him. So now he's getting his Bio- and Geo- stuff out through other means. I don't care how many writers, owners, etc. are involved... we all know that Simon makes the channel successful.
If the YT video is a fact based biography or factual in general then A.I. usage should be banned. There's literally no point in those pictures in this. We know what a young Uri looked like. Do the research.
I actually think the penguin analogy is a lot closer to how it actually happened then the script makes it seem. Humans were fairly paralyzed at the thought of going in to space. The only reason it happened was the cold war. With out the soviets and the USA pushing each other, we'd likely never have sent men up there.
Well, yes his name will be remembered for what he did but I don’t see the names of the engineers that actually designed the spacecraft he manned to make the extraordinary achievement
I cannot believe people are still doing this stupid thing 20+ years later. Please let this thing die. Litterly nobody in the entire universe cares. You could wait until the heat death of this universe happens.. then spontaneously start a new universe. Watch that go to heat death. Do that as many times as there are voxles in this universe.... and you would never run into any form of life who cares. Please never do this again.
I was thinking that anyone who'd pass all those tests so well might have an underlying issue or two... then we get to the end of the video, and now I get it. It's unfortunate for all our advancement at the time, the psychological stuff was still way off. Probably still is 😅
In a 2010 Space Foundation survey, Gagarin was ranked as the sixth-most-popular space hero, tied with the fictional character James T. Kirk from Star Trek.

It's almost as if humans,are actually humans,no matter where they're from on planet earth.
Can we get a video on Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space? She’s still alive, too, at 86!
Impossible! That's not a woman's job! AM I RIGHT PETER?!?
Few people Simon has ever talked about so deserves the Absolute Legend label.
the AI images, besides looking really bad, are unnecessary imo. the videos are just as good if you left them out
Good stuff... Apart from the AI Depictions! Just awful! 👎

And they hardly look anything like the person depicted ☹️
I see what he's doing... he's replacing Biographics and Geographics with his other channel Places.
andhes been going with ancient aliens shit with a twist of the more actual truth then there fancy graphics and lies
I'll watch which ever channel Simon is hosting he and his writers do great work the hosts of those other channels need to step their game up
I need context, what happened to his other channels?

Oof, and Simon can't claim ownership for the two channels? Yikes
Which channels are still his, asides from this one (Astrographics)?

Rest in peace Yuri.
"At 5 foot 2, he made the Soviet Union's short list..." Well played sir, well played.💯🤣
Hahaha. I didn’t catch that one! Nice work
Not a fan of all the AI art
So don't watch it
@@gearhead2255it's not like we're given a warning beforehand, js
Not a fan of all the creepy AI images.
This can also be on Simon's new channel "People".
There is a bust of him in Luxemburg near a museum, passed it a few times this year when I went jogging. He was a true legend
This mf’er really got another channel? ANOTHER?!? Thanks Simon
An absolute legend.
Man these AI images suck... unfollowed
Very humble guy to by all accounts... Kinda proves why humanity should focus on the collective rather than ones within borders.
Some might say down to earth. I'll get my coat....
That was really depressing ending.
FINALLY, GOOD OL' SIMON!
If anyone can catch me up why Bio and Geographics are no longer his (no troll-y answers, please) do let me know.
1st Man in Space, that we know of :)
All who came after stand upon his shoulders.
Well, yes his name will be remembered for what he did but I don’t see the names of the engineers that actually designed the spacecraft he manned to make the extraordinary achievement
*her novel
Yeah I was going to say I'm pretty sure Octavia Butler was a women.
Anything space related is always a good story.
Said Octavia Bulter in HIS Parable of the Sower? How did this error sneak through?
Excellent video about an exceptional human.
Really beautiful video btw ❤
Eff AI and eff you for using it
Simon is doing Biographical stuff again!
good grief he really does have a new channel everywhere you turn
Damn, i didnt realize Yuri had died so young.
Poor Yuri, may he rest in peace. 😢
oh my god another channel
5th comment let’s gooooo
