  • Former astronaut Mike Massimino describes to Adam Savage what it was like for him on his very first spacewalk, including the first thing he did upon exiting the space shuttle and the first thing he thought when he saw the Earth.

      It is similar to instrument flying training with an "instrument hood" over your eyes. Your eyes are focused on the true instruments, not the outside of the airplane. But acceleration forces tell you that you are in a left descending turn when in reality you are in a right climbing turn. Nausea is common initially, but after a while, your body adapts and learns to trust the instruments. Try MS Flight Simulator someday and compare it to a real instrument flight. You will instantly see the difference.@@jeromethiel4323

    Mike Massimino is a super cool guy. I was working for NASA doing outreach events. We had an event on the USS Intrepid in New York when they were placing the Shuttle Enterprise on the top deck. Mike was scheduled to give a talk in the hangar deck. Things were running a little late and Mike gave an impromptu talk to the waiting visitors. He was so knowledgable, nice and engaging that it really made a lasting impression on me. At this point I had met most of the astronauts and they are almost all very outgoing and super nice. Mike is top notch and a favorite astronaut of all time. Please have him in for a chat about makerspaces.

    There is a 70mm color photo of Armstrong on the moon in his space suit. Photo AS11-40-5886 is of Armstrong. Aldrin had the camera for a short period of time and shot that photo of Armstrong. I'm surprised that people still think there aren't any photos of Armstrong on the moon, when that was disproven a long time ago.

      After Armstrong gave the Earth a 360 panoramic view of the lunar landing site and then finishing by pointing it toward the LEM, he left the t.v. camera on its stand and went to work. They both paused and faced the camera when Mission Control patched them through to Nixon sitting in the Oval Office.

    I absolutely love the perspective change of “home” he has. The thing is I really don’t think you can appreciate that until you’ve experienced spacewalking. Simply because here on the ground it feels so large you forget everyone everywhere who’s ever been is on this ground with you but I think you get more appreciation for that from orbit. It really must put you in awe your first time. Going from pictures and globes to actually seeing the African continent flying by behind your shipmate is nuts.

    Charles Lindbergh wrote, The Spirit of Saint Louis. I had been flying since 13 and many times had been in awe at how beautiful the sky and the earth are from above. I read that book as a teen and these words he wrote moved me and I’ve never forgotten them. ”Sometimes, flying feels too godlike to be attained by man. Sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see, like a vision at the end of life forming a bridge to death.” At 6:10 Mike echoed those feelings and it brought a tear to my eyes. I hope you can share this with him.

    Couple of notes for this fantastic interview that struck me. Mike was on the flight before the Columbia accident. Also, his explanation of doing his first spacewalk was amazing. It made me think about the 1st crew of Skylab a little over 50 years ago, that had to go up and put a fabricated heat shield on the outside of vessel to save Skylab. That was back in 1973 and must have been an incredibly harrowing, yet exciting event for the astronauts that had to do it. They had little practice as they had learn a fix for something they didn't know would work on short notice. Balls of steel.

    • @stevenserna910
      @stevenserna910 3 месяца назад +6

      Very true. ISS is the current station, but lots of folks don't remember that Skylab taught us how to work on ISS. I was a teenager during the Skylab missions and It was astonishing to me to think that there are people, actually up there, in orbit...now, looking down at us. It was like Star Trek, where they show the Enterprise orbiting a planet. Also, Skylab was the first time we had a "cooperative" visit from the Soviet Soyuz Cosmonauts. Boy that was a James Bond moment. Everyone was saying stuff like, "If anything goes wrong its those Soviet bast**ds fault! Nuke 'dem sums a' benches". Fortunately all went well.
      I think later on after 3 years in space they put Skylab on return trajectory over the Indian Ocean, where it disintegrated on re-entry, & sunk.

    I've always felt like doing a spacewalk is a bit like being born -- unbelievably dangerous and overwhelming. Being born (and giving birth) is vastly underappreciated as the single most dangerous thing any human being will ever do. NOTHING any of us will ever do, and that includes going to space, will ever rival that for its life-threatening danger.
    So you go to space or you get born, you take your life in your hands to get to where you're going ... and then you turn around and for the first time, look into the face of your mother. And you are completely overwhelmed by it. Nothing in the world could speak to you more deeply and be more beautiful.

      There was a story/rumor from Neil's biography that Neil had first use of the camera and then he handed it off to Buzz. Buzz had lobbied long and hard to be the first man on the moon but was turned down whatever angle he tried. So Buzz took photos of everything but made damn sure to not get a single one of Neil except the one small one by accident. As I said this was from the book but really only Buzz knows for sure though.

      Just a “friendly query” - a guy called Bill Kaysing was - for a number of years - treated as a “bit of a nut” for questioning whether those missions really happened (or, at least, as regards getting as far as the Moon and landing) - he said - “Show me a reasonably close up photo of the remains of the descent stage of the LEM, the “planted” Stars and Stripes, etc. - and I’ll shut up and never speak another word on this subject”. Since he spoke those words, all we have is photos taken about 50 miles above the Apollo 11 “landing site” by the Lunar Orbiter - yet - just a day ago - I saw NASA close up shots of rocks on Mars - like Bill Kaysing (and I’d be happy with NASA shots as long as the digital file was available for download), if the type of shot he mentions can be provided, that’s the end of any doubts I - and many others - might have !
