The closeup at 3:30 is a speaker. It also shows the negative voltage connection (I'm guessing 9в is 9 вольт or 9 volts). I bet it has a battery compartment for 6x1.5 v or a 9v battery so you should be able to get it working. *_You should check inside anyway to be sure there are no leaking batteries._*
911gpd That was a surprise for me too, I thought he needs a spacesuit to accommodate to the atmosphere, environment and climate outside of the museum. :P
Kiwiatheart it was a perfect storm of stuff I like --- check the blog for more details --- www.bradyharanblog.com/blog/2015/8/18/the-race-for-space - Brady
As a life-long space nerd, this Objectivity is my favorite so far! It's nice to know that Brady and I agree that Apollo 15 was the best Apollo mission.
Brady, I came here to watch this as a result of Hello Internet. I started listening from episode 1 about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I'm currently in the latter half of the 40s. You recommended Public Service Broadcasting and I have listened to 'the race for space' about 10 times in the last week. My 3 year old daughter is LOVING 'Go' in particular as well! Thank you for bringing these guys to my attention!
This seems like a perfect time to thank you, Brady, for introducing me to Public Service Broadcasting via the HI podcast - very much enjoying their music
Brady and J. Willgoose Esq, After listening to the old H.I. podcasts, I finally realised that this was where I first heard of PSB. When I got back into vinyl last year, I had a vague recollection of PSB and picked up The Race for Space as my first album, and haven't looked back. The music is great, and I am still in wonder that the concept that I would have thought geeky and gimmicky has resulted in some of the best music I have heard in the last decade - and an extensive collection of the albums, singles, the EP and live recordings. So, just in case either of you happen to read this, I wanted to say thank you for my best moment of 2016!
This is one of my favorite episodes so far! It would have been nice to have a lagniappe small interview with him about what he thought about the archive.
I am very late catching up on my favorite podcasts--and very late in coming to many of them at that. I have just listened to HI #87. It was a quick mention of Objectivity that made me look up this channel and watch some of the most popular videos here. All this so say: this video made me cry a little. Thank you for making thoughtful, interesting, touching, geeky and moving content on an internet that seems at times to gravitate away from such content. I am so genuinely grateful for you (and Grey) and the things you share.
I've never heard of this band but I really connect with that vibe. I, and my son, are huge Apollo nerds, so this was fun and I'm going to check out the band and their album. Thanks. Your videos never disappoint.
Valentina Tereshkova's signature at 6:46 is unusual. She usually signed as "Vtershi" or "Vterish" which is odd enough, but here it is "N. Vsherti". She scrambled the letters.
The circuit diagram starts with a multivibrator (square wave oscillator) and the next stage looks like a filter and then a simple amplifier. My guess is that this would just beep when the button is held down.
Wow Brady I had never heard of them but this is really good music! I love the 70s/80s styled synths and pop, it's very nice easy listening! Love it! Also again a great film by you! Also love it, all those geeky objects!
This is a great video. Thanks for the tip on this band. I really like the Spitfire song. Not my usual taste in music but cool. I suppose after the first time I could get something done while listening but the footage is too cool. Brady you made me spend several hours this morning looking at videos.
I spent two nights in a hostel in Stockholm that in the 60ies was home to an aviation club and was visited by Gagarin, they had photos on the wall. My room was extremely tiny, measuring about 3.5 square meters, and has probably been converted from a bathroom. So there is a chance that I have slept in the exact place were the first man in space went to the toilet 50 years ago.
I wish you'd shown a clearer picture of the schematic for the Sputnik model's "beep" circuit, as I'd like to try a build a replica of the circuit it and see what it sounds like. Is there any way I can get a legible copy of it?
There were two persons at the last stage of tests, Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov. Both were best of the best, but some say that Gherman was a little bit better than Yuri. Sergei Korolev chose Yuri because he was more photogenic.
I wish they had shown the full electronic schematic that came with the Sputnik model. If I lived in England near the Royal Society I'd go and ask to see it so I could copy it either by hand or with a photocopier if it's allowed. It is probably, as they said, a circuit that replicate Sputnik's beeping but it would be fun to replicate (or more realistically re-design with modern transistors).
Matthew Sainsbury Kudos if you can make out the Cyrillic labels on those components ;-) I was wondering what the capacitor with a dotted circle around it might be: am I just woefully out of date with circuit diagrams or is that an archaism or something peculiarly Russian?
I assumed it was some archaic form of electrolytic cap. Struggling with the caps because there are no units specified like there are for the resistors. Also I don't have any hope of finding out what those PNPs are
Matthew Sainsbury www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-y1958-p6g-russian-germanium-170260532. I am surprised there isn't a bias resistor between the base of transistor 5 (л5) and the negative rail. I might build this with modern components to see what it sounds like.
Did you ever end up posting the video on the Genesis Rock previewed at 8:40? I tried searching for it but it doesn't seem to appear in any of the later objectivity videos (or on your other channels).
Hey Brady, I really love our world and its achievements regardless and it discusts me that my children haven't got a clue about our countries and worlds achievements that built the world they know.
If you'd put up a really good shot of that circuit diagram I bet you'd have a viewer put it together and find out if it indeed did produce the Sputnik beep! It didn't look very complicated at all, but I don't think there was a good enough shot to know what all the components were...
Great video Brady! Good on ya mate! Anybody tried to reconstruct the Sputnik circuit from the shown diagram? Better photo can be found on Brady's site.
I really liked this video! I'm glad my fave Tereshkova appeared too ;) I want to ask about visiting the Royal Society - can you really just go in there and casually ask to see some really valuable thing, and they'll just go down and bring it up to you?
Why didn't they cover the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. That was a very important part of the Space Race, I think. Because it marked the first international cooperative space mission. Not to mention the precedent of two political rivals working together for a common goal.
I love how everything Russian is "soviet propaganda", while everything American is more like genuine presents to celebrate humanity's greatest achievements. It's as if the cold war never ended.
lednerg Because he's handling paper, and in particular books. With hand coverers, you can't really feel how much force you're applying to the paper and you tend to tear it far easier. They'd rather have dirty paper than torn paper (although I'm sure Brady makes sure his hands are as clean and fat/acid-free as possible).
weird thing - I speak/read/write Russian pretty well, but I couldn't see any resemblance in both Yuri or Valentinas signatures to their names, well, Gagarins signature second word began with letter G which wasn't even cyrillic... and you don't really translate your signature when you travel abroad
This was like Brady trying to impress on a first date
The closeup at 3:30 is a speaker. It also shows the negative voltage connection (I'm guessing 9в is 9 вольт or 9 volts). I bet it has a battery compartment for 6x1.5 v or a 9v battery so you should be able to get it working. *_You should check inside anyway to be sure there are no leaking batteries._*
"I may as well have been the first man in space." Infallible logic there, Brady. I love it
Love it! Put two space geeks together and they'll argue over whether Sputnik was 57 or 58 cm. I just checked, it's 58 cm (23 in)
E Hernandez Loved the "is that imperial?" remark? :-D
E Hernandez Or was it 1958 and 57cm? ;)
*58.5 cm
58.5.. sounds close enough😉
That was a close one. I nearly closed the window before knowing whether or not Keith was going to be there. Don't tease me like that, Brady.
Lovin' the username
+Alex Roberts lovin' your vids (particularly the fractal one)
could that guy be more British looking? I think not.
Filipe Nunes Yeah, and he puts "Esq" behind his name, too!
How does that work? Is that for a deliberate quaint effect or something?
+SolarWebsite It usually means that your father is a peer, and that you are a younger son, if I recall correctly.
+BigBen Hebdomadarius So in this case it's just there for comic effect, since it would be so pompous, otherwise.
I listened to this album because of Hello Internet, and I must say I am very glad I did. It was fantastic, thank you Brady for enriching my life.
I want to come the Royal Society, but I'm scared I'll bump in to Keith.
They say never meet your heroes.
Wooaw,
Keith actually lives outside of the Museum :O
Or maybe it's the outside which is moving for Keith.
Keith is like the absolute referential.
911gpd That was a surprise for me too, I thought he needs a spacesuit to accommodate to the atmosphere, environment and climate outside of the museum. :P
He can stay outside for 10 minutes before combusting.
I love how this episode is just everyone fanboying over everything and everyone

Itsuwarikun well *maybe* we got J. to do a "white gloves of destiny" while he was there!?
Objectivity oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
This was really joyful to watch!
AlanKey86 thanks Alan!
Objectivity I listened through the album again. I enjoyed it much more the 2nd time.
I'll send you a review!
AlanKey86 do that
+AlanKey86 Agree, but where went Keith?!
I am very late catching up on my favorite podcasts--and very late in coming to many of them at that. I have just listened to HI #87. It was a quick mention of Objectivity that made me look up this channel and watch some of the most popular videos here.

I can already tell this will be my favourite video from my favourite Australian!
Nice episode. I enjoyed watching it and now I'm hooked on Public Service Broadcasting :)
+ceard good stuff
+Objectivity it's awesome that you do this. great ideas.
Absolutely brilliant! Well done, Keith (and Brady, as well)!!!
Honestly, so excited when I found out Keith was coming. YES!
THANK YOU for producing these great videos! I've gone through and watched all 32 of them, look forward to seeing & learning more stuff!
Hope to hear you geek-out about this on the next Hello Internet podcast.
Philippe Allard-Rousse of course
This is SO COOL! I've got a friend who works as an engineer at SpaceX, and I'll definitely be sending this his way. Way to go Brady!
Just got the CD in the mail today. Loved it.
Great stuff as usual Brady, and thanks for hooking me on a new band.
I can tell that Brady was fangirling in this episode! Great video! Cheers!
I've never heard of this band but I really connect with that vibe. I, and my son, are huge Apollo nerds, so this was fun and I'm going to check out the band and their album.
Thanks. Your videos never disappoint.

I found you through Smarter Every Day. I like your channel. Please keep up the authentic work.
It doesn't get any better than this!
Well, they've got themselves another fan! Love the music, brings some sort of nostalgia over me, quite incredible. Amazing work, chaps, well done!
I brought the album after listening to the podcast. Probably my best purchase (musically).
Perfectly done! Great concept and great editing!
One of your best videos Brady. Had to drop a comment in support.
YAY! This was great for so many reasons
I heard them a day ago when destin shared a video where he said you sent him there video and that he loved it hahahaha ! Thanks to both of you
Fantastic. Really enjoyed this.
The circuit diagram starts with a multivibrator (square wave oscillator) and the next stage looks like a filter and then a simple amplifier. My guess is that this would just beep when the button is held down.
Wow Brady I had never heard of them but this is really good music! I love the 70s/80s styled synths and pop, it's very nice easy listening! Love it!
Also again a great film by you! Also love it, all those geeky objects!
So the Sputnik model is propaganda but Apollo missions photos are not ? Objectivity, heh ? ;)
Sputnik didn't do much science.
This is a great video. Thanks for the tip on this band. I really like the Spitfire song. Not my usual taste in music but cool. I suppose after the first time I could get something done while listening but the footage is too cool. Brady you made me spend several hours this morning looking at videos.
This is my favourite objectivity video! It must've been swell to meet half of PSB too!
I was just about to ragequit when I finally saw Keith was after all introduced on this episode.
Welp..looks like Public Service Broadcasting just got a new fan :) Love it!
Never heard of PSB, but I'm definitely going to check them out later. J's geeky enthusiasm gets to me.
Ooooooh, looking forward to this one.
Beautiful model. Neat episode!
I spent two nights in a hostel in Stockholm that in the 60ies was home to an aviation club and was visited by Gagarin, they had photos on the wall. My room was extremely tiny, measuring about 3.5 square meters, and has probably been converted from a bathroom. So there is a chance that I have slept in the exact place were the first man in space went to the toilet 50 years ago.
This was really nice :)
Definetley giving them a listen!
I wish you'd shown a clearer picture of the schematic for the Sputnik model's "beep" circuit, as I'd like to try a build a replica of the circuit it and see what it sounds like. Is there any way I can get a legible copy of it?
+Wayne Holder There's a better image on the blog post in the description.
+AlphaCrucis Thanks, but it's still rather hard to make out all the component values.
this is such a great album!
this is my fav!! i like how brady is the expert this time. :--))
Gagarin was ridiculously photogenic indeed !
There were two persons at the last stage of tests, Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov. Both were best of the best, but some say that Gherman was a little bit better than Yuri. Sergei Korolev chose Yuri because he was more photogenic.
Awesome band, thanks!

It is probably, as they said, a circuit that replicate Sputnik's beeping but it would be fun to replicate (or more realistically re-design with modern transistors).
There's a link in another comment to Brady's blog about this event that has a picture of the complete diagram.
I have got the physical CD and I love it
Beautiful.
Is there a scan of the circuit diagram available?
Matthew Sainsbury www.bradyharanblog.com/blog/2015/8/18/the-race-for-space
Thanks! I tried to simulate the circuit to see what it does, but I can't quite make out the fine details
Matthew Sainsbury Kudos if you can make out the Cyrillic labels on those components ;-)
I was wondering what the capacitor with a dotted circle around it might be: am I just woefully out of date with circuit diagrams or is that an archaism or something peculiarly Russian?

suddenly Brady's fashion sense shoots up a 1000% by comparison.
Awesome Brady!
TereshkOva is the correct way. And in "Sputnik" "u" should be pronaunced as "oo".
Wonderful stuff !!!
Keith and J. are just like father and son
I honestly hope this channel never stops! But Brady I hope you're also doing Periodic Videos and the physics channel!
one complaint. You should have focused in and shown us Yuri Gagarin's signature better...we hardly saw it before you whisked it away !
For some reason the auto play feature has skipped like 8 episodes so I've had to come back and watch.
8:46 Was that a Pink Floyd Reference? Dark Side of the Moon?
wonderful. ty.
He looks like the 11th Doctor lol XD
Did you ever end up posting the video on the Genesis Rock previewed at 8:40? I tried searching for it but it doesn't seem to appear in any of the later objectivity videos (or on your other channels).
Great video!
Hey Brady, I really love our world and its achievements regardless and it discusts me that my children haven't got a clue about our countries and worlds achievements that built the world they know.
I wonder if the band has an Aelita, Polivoks or an EM-24?
If you'd put up a really good shot of that circuit diagram I bet you'd have a viewer put it together and find out if it indeed did produce the Sputnik beep! It didn't look very complicated at all, but I don't think there was a good enough shot to know what all the components were...
Whatch out Brady! Dake, from Veritake, has just created an email list! IT IS ON!
Great video Brady! Good on ya mate! Anybody tried to reconstruct the Sputnik circuit from the shown diagram? Better photo can be found on Brady's site.
Brady, perhaps you should start a podcast with J, it seems like you to get on quite well and you both obviously know what you're talking about!
And how was the photo at 9:23 taken at that angel?
to2burger They pointed it at heaven.
to2burger They were in orbit. You can take a photo from any angle.
to2burger or do you mean from afar? Brady mentioned they were heading back to dock with the orbiter
I am back here from watching the objectivity episode with the Genesis rock.
Really great video! :-)
might "launched in 1957" be why Brady thought "57 cm diameter" rather than 58?
When is space traveling going to become a norm? Am I going to live till that? Coz I really want to go to the moon and mars.
How did they take the photo of Apollo 15 docking? Was it taken on earth?
to2burger Taken from the lunar module. Notice that is not in photo.
to2burger With a very long selfie stick :-)
I really liked this video! I'm glad my fave Tereshkova appeared too ;)
I want to ask about visiting the Royal Society - can you really just go in there and casually ask to see some really valuable thing, and they'll just go down and bring it up to you?
I smiled the whole video!
Jimmy Matanza me too!
Can we have more space stuff?
Where else but a video like this would there be an argument over whether an object is 57 or 58 cm in diameter?
Does anyone have a link to the Apollo 8 song that they talk about?
A very good fun video ! :)
An awesome channel this! :D
Why didn't they cover the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. That was a very important part of the Space Race, I think. Because it marked the first international cooperative space mission. Not to mention the precedent of two political rivals working together for a common goal.
Damn! Brady you found them! please talk about this on Hello Internet!
I love how everything Russian is "soviet propaganda", while everything American is more like genuine presents to celebrate humanity's greatest achievements. It's as if the cold war never ended.
most important comment here
Keith is watching.... always watching....
Fits like a hand-shaped hand coverer.
EDIT: Speaking of which, Brady's seem to have disappeared a few minutes into this video.
lednerg Because he's handling paper, and in particular books. With hand coverers, you can't really feel how much force you're applying to the paper and you tend to tear it far easier.

Could it be a fake/forgery?
err, this video wasn't in my subscription list!!
Glad I found it on reddit.
Has anyone built a copy of the circuit based on a screen grab of the diagram?
good videos Brody. Very impressive. and I've purchased PSB's album and I really like it. may get many for gifts. (talking to you dad)
