I met Dr Mae Jameson in Auburn, Alabama back in 2016. She is very laid back and relaxed, but she lights up when she talks about her experiences with NASA
Back in the 90s, our Girls Scout district had a group project where each troop honored a different woman. My troop choose Mae Jemison. I wrote to NASA and requested information about her and she sent me an autographed photograph.
ฯ Inson Minotaur stories are really interesting but I’d be super invested in hearing about Arachne or Persephone becoming the goddess of the underworld!!
@@maggiemcfly5267 No it wasn't. And 'pretty good' is of course a gross understatement. Crazy talent. She knocked it way out of the park. Just spectacular stuff!
Gordon Cooper's story is pretty much the coolest space story ever. took full manual control of a failing capsule that was never designed to be flown manually, and landed it closer to the recovery ship than any computer had ever done, and did all the math and trajectory calculation on the capsule window in grease pencil. while mildly hypoxic. absolute legend.
From a PR standpoint, he was a terrible choice and I'm sure NASA didn't want any negative press, so maybe he wasn't as "promoted" as much as Armstrong or Aldrin? At the start, dude was married but living with another woman. Both him and his wife decided to keep quiet about their personal lives as much as possible out of greed, because they both saw the potential money that could be made down the line. Not surprising that he's one of the astronauts from that era that DIDN'T really make something from that platform.
Wow. It's all correct. Everything she says is in line with the way we try to explain reality as of now, and the things that happened beforehand, kind of happened like she is telling. Funny enough, this Wilson dude and Penzias, the guys who found that Cosmic Backround Radiation which they thought was pidgeon shit, had a friend from College named Fred Hoyle. Yeah. That one. Sir Fred Hoyle. Now this fellow insisted that the Universe was static and had been there forever (Steady State Theory), he was so sure that he mockingly coined the phrase "Big Bang" during a TV interview because he thought he absolutely had the high ground until someone proved him wrong. Imagine the awkward night at the Pub when his friends Penzias and Wilson came along and started explaining themselves... that they had basically discovered that Fred's full of shit without even looking for it.: "Oh, and by the way, they wanna give us a Nobel Prize now, LOL, we didn"t even know what we were looking for. But everyone likes this name you've made up... what was it again? Yeah, Big Bang! It kinda sticks, doesn't it? Well... sorry dude... guess drinks are on us." I like this approach to communicate history and science. It's much more entertaining than someone just clicking through facts of a premade presentation. Of course it cannot replace a proper education, but it may damn well spark some interest in people who now can better relate to stuff they normally wouldn't care about.
Even as a kid, I always preferred history over fantasy stories like Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings. Studying it is only as boring as you make it, and can get absolutely wild if you know where to look.
Paul Schmdit Check out the RUclips video “The history of the entire earth I guess” or something like that. Basically a bunch of chemical bonds, but like...a lot of all of that lol
Can I just say, thank you for including women in the control room scenes, either as engineers or as computers. It's so easy not to erase them from history - and you didn't!
It's so awesome they had Colin Hanks play an astronaut here since one of his father's more iconic movies was Apollo 11. :D I also could be overthinking it.
this might be the first thing they understand. its public service announcements for dumbasses... whoa ... this could be the solution. how we solve Trumpism .. the whole thing. just get Fauci and the other scientists drunk first before they do the press conferences.. then they'll all sound like Trump, and it will be accepted. problem solved. Cool. You may nominate me for my Nobel prize now..
9:49 I find it funny when she was saying "wait....Gordo is way more chill than that", and the actor is like "storyteller, please tell me, am I chill or not chill?"
5:58 This was the best moment. Not only because she's telling the truth, since 1% of the static your TV picks up is actually radiation emitted by the big bang (Shout-out to PBS Spacetime), but it is also the first time I've watched one of these and, personally, really thought, "Yup... that's drunk me alright.".
I thought it was bird poo that they had to clean not actual birds that they had to shoot. Also the static you can hear on the radio and see on tv mostly local radio noise. Only about 10-20% is from the C.B.R.
According to Penzias, in addition to cleaning it up, they did end up having to shoot the birds, after attempts to remove them resulted in the birds just returning again. He says that he wasn't happy about that solution, but it was effective.
This was NOT covered in The Right Stuff. This guy, later on in his career witnessed a saucer-type craft land near an air force base. Three legs extended, it landed. Humanoid beings got out and took soil samples or something. They got back in and it shot off. It was even filmed according to him.
7:10 when she says "Gus", I'm thinking she brainfarted and meant Gus Grissom, who was another Mercury astronaut that flew in the Gemini missions and died in the Apollo 1 fire. I freaking love that even when she messed up she still just switched over to a different astronaut in the program!
Jenny Slate saying
“The universe was like... just suck on it for a second... just suck on it for a second.”
Made me laugh SO much 😂😂😂😂
I love her fangirling of all things space 😍😂
🤣🤣🤣
I love Jenny Slate's drunk take on History. Her voice and laugh are adorable.
Yeah, while she's holding her Dog and talking about His Penis and her Full Vagina, shesh !!
@@Stevenisbelieven adorkable
Soo it has just occured to me that Derek pretty much gets other people and himself drunk for a living. Genius.
To tell stories lol genius.
Yeah lol😎 dam he's smooth
Like a bar tender lol. Even you can have that job best of luck.
It is art.
Yes, plus he gets to pick up drunk men. Sounds like bar/lounge to me. Brilliant.
I love how the hand holding the space capsule gets into the shot once in a while.
Love these guys plus how Kinane says "rock n roll" and "Siberia" but check out Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion's DANG for the inspiration
My favorite part
I love how Justin mimics Jennies giggling
He is so damn attractive!
Mr Long is awsome
The real mvp is the hosts' liver.
Im hoping he drinks apple jucie now and then.
@Sir Festus watch out we got a cool guy over here
Danigirl still dtotoositot reeder e suu
Danigirl totally not

I died with Gordo seeing the screen come up as "You're F--ked!"
All hilarious stuff from Drunk History!
I laughed so hard I was crying

The second story deserves a movie of its own!
It honestly does, dude. Like, holy shit. What a great story.
Kinda gave me an interstellar vibe lol btw amazing movie -edit- but yes this needs to be a movie be really cool !
@@theninedivides6851 Definitely a great movie, but I'm actually getting more of a Gravity vibe.
Gordo was to chill for a movie. 😂
But yeah that'd be cool.
Hidden figures was about that
Comedy Central posted an entire episode of a show they have on television? This may be the beginning of a better era.
Not exactly
Oh boy do I have news for you
This didn't age well at all
:(
Derek ellsey
Drunken Greek Mythology please!!
The minatuar story would be perfect
ฯ Inson Minotaur stories are really interesting but I’d be super invested in hearing about Arachne or Persephone becoming the goddess of the underworld!!
@@medusssa3606 I wanna see broken promise to posideon, I wanna see half bull/baby and a hedge maze.
Someone write this down
Yes please! Lol
When speaking of greed gods the addage "drunken" is pretty much unnecessary ^^
Justin giggling along with her LOLOL
*"How would you like to be floating around in the 80's?.....except this is the 60's"*
Fkin dead lol
The guys renditions of her voice are priceless
Fr they were on point lol.
Is it a bad thing that this is how I explain things when I’m sober?
Yes.
NEGUS MBARKA why not
@NEGUS MBARKA tf?-
That mean your brain not work
"He had a five dollar wristwatch!"
That's about $35 in 2019 money.
Actually, Gordon Cooper used Omega Speedmaster and Omega was still yet one of the best luxury watch brand at that time
@@kevvvykim7840 omega's definitely arent 5 dollars! Beautiful watches.
😂
I give props to the lip synce, it makes everything so much more funny
Justin Long hit it out of the park with that
1:38 Justin Long effortlessly pulls off best recital line ever on DH. Spectacular stuff!
Jay Bingham yea hah he was on point with the lip sync
Evan Rachel Wood was pretty good but I think the episode wasn't out when you wrote this comment
@@maggiemcfly5267 No it wasn't. And 'pretty good' is of course a gross understatement. Crazy talent. She knocked it way out of the park. Just spectacular stuff!
I've been binging Drunk History for two days, what a treat, even if I've seen most of it.
HE HAD A FIVE DOLLA WRIST WATCH
finally just started myself
I do that from time to time…doing it now.
according to Gordos book leap of faith they said Gordo flew the ship better than the computer.
a true jedi
If I were to write a book. I would get some friends to back my bs. I mean he lived, his story can't all be bs.
@@2stepjoey dude computers capable of landing a ship accurately took a lot longer than you may think.
@@DR-54 and that dude basically eye balled it.
11:32 The mischievous smile on her face when she almost dropped the lamp :')
"What do you got going on with your life?"
"Nothin'."
"Same here."
This is why I freaking love this show
We need a Stoned History now, it's legal :)
I predict a lot of "Whooooaaaa, it all makes sense now." ;)
Brilliant!!
Dude, order a pizza.
It would just be honest history lol
The episodes would be ummm. I forgot what I was saying♠
Why is Gordo's story new to me? I watch all the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo documentaries... they barely mention him
Gordon Cooper's story is pretty much the coolest space story ever. took full manual control of a failing capsule that was never designed to be flown manually, and landed it closer to the recovery ship than any computer had ever done, and did all the math and trajectory calculation on the capsule window in grease pencil. while mildly hypoxic. absolute legend.
Probably because of his UFO conspiracy theories. Or maybe all the investors that lost money backing his ventures.
From a PR standpoint, he was a terrible choice and I'm sure NASA didn't want any negative press, so maybe he wasn't as "promoted" as much as Armstrong or Aldrin? At the start, dude was married but living with another woman.

“ehh shame shame give me back my balls!!” im dead
Watching this drunk. That qualifies as a double drunk experience
The inception of booze
*BWAAAAH*
Now I'm pouring another drink and now my drink is getting sloshed
*BWAAAAAAAH*
Nahhhh dawg same, that means they cancel out. Now we're just learning. I'm almost positive
That's what you call a double blind drunk trial.
Colin Hanks is following in his dad's foot steps by playing an Astronaut plagued by ship problems.
Good Lord. The way Kyle Kinane shows up on screen, wasted in that SPACE hat..
When the guy just suddenly and randomly reaches up and pulls off the Boom mic, I almost hit the floor!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Cosmonauts, Astronauts, AnykindaNuts"😂
Whynauts
Alconauts :-D
2:34 wow, the Teletubbies sun is old.
No, thats the Teletubbies sun's dad or uncle, or other male relative.
I don't know, it's a celestial fireball with a face that talks.
8:30 The hand wiggling the capsule LOLOLOL! XDDD
"I know how TV works"
Ikr 😂😂
*rips off mic*
It's funny they have Tom hanks son playing in a space skit it reminds me of him in Apollo 13. Kinda irony if you wanna call it that
Right? I wonder if they cast him as a throw back to his dad.
😂😭🤣 Workaholic’s Adam and Blake as astronauts
Cosmonauts, to be exact.
9:48 lol they even have sign that says ur effed! 😂amazing
I love Drunk History! Colin Hanks and Jason Ritter are great. I wish them more work.
"Wolves, bears, all just boners" 😂
Welcome to my world! :D
I laughed WAY too hard when she called New York "YunYork" and Ritter actually mouthed it EXACTLY the way she said it
2:15
"Forget about you, New York" is what I hear
"Whos the most maniac Russian we have ?" 🤣
That hand at 8:36😂
Gordo is really awesome ! Being calm in this situation, it's amazing.
: "Oh no don't do that"
:" I know how TV works" 😂😂😂😂😂
How is Kyle’s shirt unbuttoned and buttoned at the same time?
Snaps

That question never get answered.

I just found drunk history. This is the most amazing thing I didn't know that I needed. Binge watching commences... see you in 2 weeks. 🤣🤣🤣

White people lol
Fadi Pola and what exactly do you mean by that
@@emilykrey5319 white people lol
"The universe is like, 'Find out about me!'" I laughed so hard at that.

"But I have a full vagina."-Jenny Slate
Lmmfao!!!
Jenny Slate is sexy as fuck too
She doesn't even have to be drunk to be funny in this...and yeah she's hot.
She is funny. Conduit closing.
Full of what though? Right after she told us she cut her dogs balls off. Gross.
It's so awesome they had Colin Hanks play an astronaut here since one of his father's more iconic movies was Apollo 11. :D I also could be overthinking it.
they dont even have food, or Sprites®
Yeah, food would have been great like some chickens hot chickens
@NEGUS MBARKA m'kay so... just don't by Sprite or Crack... please.
Flat-earthers must become apoplectic watching this.
Flerfers seem rather prone to apoplexy in general.
this might be the first thing they understand. its public service announcements for dumbasses...
whoa ... this could be the solution. how we solve Trumpism .. the whole thing. just get Fauci and the other scientists drunk first before they do the press conferences.. then they'll all sound like Trump, and it will be accepted.
problem solved.
Cool. You may nominate me for my Nobel prize now..

This has to be one of my favorite DH's of all time. Bring back this guest PLEASE!
"I made it. I'm not surprised. It's me, Gordo." hah, good line
Teachers should play these in class
I might actually learn something
"He's the first human being to do something"
Omg, that's Raven Symone playing Michelle Nichols!
*Nichelle
I love how the composer incorporated Mozart's Lacrimosa into the action score ✊🏾
It took me a second to catch her voice but it's Tammy from Bob's burgers LoL
That last dude is the closest thing to a living bobblehead.
I never knew Jenny Slate's voice was so soothing, her voice coming out of Justin Long's mouth/his delivery was comedic harmony.
5:58 This was the best moment.

How many takes were there? How could people keep straight faces through filming these?
There must be a treasure trove of outtakes.
I would love to watch just one day of filming
Nichelle Nichols is totally one of my heroes.
I just discovered Drunk History yesterday...Lordy, where have I been....I LOVE these skits !!
"No no no don't do that"

It’s always weird to think that what are now grown people watched Family Matters. I mean, for some reason I separate that fact from my waking life.
"Just suck on it for a second " LMAO!😂😂
When she literally cranks the air was when I officialy fell in love with drunk history! This stuffs awesome 👌
Host: dont do that
Derek pulling on the mi
Derek: I KNOWWWWW,
I know how tv works😏
Static on old tube TV's is indeed like less than 2% cosmic background.
Best ad placement.
"This is the sound of the universe being created!"
The next thing I hear, "what would you doooo for a Klondike Bar."
Is it just me or is Kyle Kinane’s head like EXTREMELY big for his body? Lol.
Now that the first actual image of a black hole has been created, I need to hear Jenny Slate tell that story.
"All kinds of 'nauts"
17:10 ...indeed
"i know how tv works" hilarious
From everything I've ever read about Gordo Cooper, he would've loved the one about him. He really was super chill.
Why is Jenny slate so attractive?
Is she though?
Yes
She is trucking GORGEOUS!
Cause she’s gorgeous and fucking hilarious.
Personality and voice.

Colin Hanks is a bad ass! He's so funny here!
I loved him on "The Good Guys", really funny show that wasn't on long enough.
Jason Ritter is the best at this
7:10 when she says "Gus", I'm thinking she brainfarted and meant Gus Grissom, who was another Mercury astronaut that flew in the Gemini missions and died in the Apollo 1 fire.
