Fuckwits ay.
@@SH19922x who pissed in your cereal
Well they're humans, remember? Give 'em a break they're answering your 50 pointless questions.
@@rixxy9204 It's rather a compliment though. She loved how they let them do their job as they like and the fact that it went like this brings a lot of nuances and characters to the video. You don't watch a group of people who were asked to tell us about things they knew, but instead you watch a group of people who wanted to share some interesting things with us.
Hi
Chris Hadfield is like the classmate who knows all the answers but only talks when nobody knows
Yeah ikr!? Haha

Others: (mutters some requirements and science)
That one guy: GET LUCKY
It's true though, because of the funding cuts and low prioritization of recruiting astronauts, even if you have the qualifications or more, you'll still be put into a rigorous and meticulous selection process that take account not only your qualifications but also your skill synergy and all those psych stuff with your crew mates.
XTS Flame true
XTS Flame 100% agree
🤣
He right tho
"Why was NASA created?"
"To beat the russians."
The cold war in a nutshell.
why is there a universe
TO BEAT THE RUSSIANS OFCOURSE
Cold war was a war between the Soviet union and the Americans about nuclear a Space Race is a race between a American and the Russians needs to go to Moon first the First country astronaut makes there is the winner of the Space Race since Neil armstrong made it to Moon Yuri Gagarin was the first person in Space
Don't forget about the proxy wars!
Yuri Gagarin joined the chat
True lol
I love how they’re just straightforward with their answers no more explanations needed
How much money do astronaut make?
Everyone in sync🗣️: NOT ENOUGH. 💀
If I was as cool as them I would've wanted more tbh

Yep. This would totally have been a game of how many smartass answers I could give if I were in that video.
“What is the temperature in outer space?” Astronaut: “Cold.”
I broke the 444 like
3 replies?
I mean he didnt wrong
Then one of them said that it's vaccum.
Wise men and women.
😂 😭😵🤮
2:36 he’s not wrong. Since Mars can be seen without a telescope, it definitely was “discovered” before recorded history. Being the first known civilization to write about it doesn’t mean it was discovered first by them.
I love how Chris’s answers are more pleasing and motivational than all others, it clearly shows off his media experience.

It is well known that is exactly why it was created. The Russians had a space program and were building a space craft so the muricans created nasa
I had a smile on my face all throughout the video. I love their energy! I admire them so much
You are very smart!
Even self aborting is not good enough. Snotty
I'm impressed by the enthusiasm they have in them and we merely entered our 20s and already lost it. But seeing them definitely boosted me 😀
“when can you see mars”
“at night”

This made my day, they're the most chaotic and educated bunch, loved them
"Can you shoot a gun in space"
"Sure, why not"
HAHAHAHA
Modern Guns yes something like a ak-47 no
@LeviAckerman okay but you can't fire muskets,matchlocks and other really old Guns
@LeviAckerman i don't know a space Museum, time travelers,stupid people
@LeviAckerman wow how do you know all this, also.. shinzo wa sasageyo my brother
The force of which propels the bullet outwards happens purely within the confines of the gun so the atmosphere has nothing to do with it
its like a classroom wherre bunch of smart kids competing to answer the same question faster than the other smarties
They are so cute..
😂😂😂
lol
Even I was thinking of that
Idky I knew like all the answers lmao
I love how it looks like they are all competing to answer the questions first, and they do it so FAST
I mean most of them are questions a bright child could easily answer. I'd like hear them talk about their own experience in a less superficial, trivia-alike style
It was really cute.
Chris hadfield is the one i would like as my teacher. Active and and instant, sounds easy and reasonable.
*teacher:* don't shout out the answer, put up your hand
*kids:* shouts it out anyways
The students are so Talented ..🥴 to handle
The students who ever gone to space 😆
omg a monbebe here??? hahahdshfhsdk
nd he is astronaut note
MONBEBEEEEEE
WTF? The astronauts only make 65K-100K? I have friends who make 70K doing much less. Pay these people more!
Yeah, same goes for any pilot really. Amazing jobs, but only like a 30K-50K pay. But the job itself is fun and you get a shitload of time off I imagine
what does your friends do?
@@odgarig8601
Must be in the corporate world.
@@odgarig8601 "Atmosphere Coordinator" for a decent-sized company. Not knocking her job, but compared to the intense education, training, expertise, physique, and mentality astronauts require... they should be making at least double their salaries imo.
Well it's not like they are in space 5 days a week 365 days a year.
"Can you shoot a gun in space?"
"Sure why not?"
I'm sobbing rn
The way this one single video right here can educate me about space more than school. Thankyou for this!!
this video is literally just
1. chaos
2. *ding*
and boy do i love it.
And i do love the amount of likes in this comment
And I do love the *ding*
that ding's cute 🥺
Until the discovery of Mars one for some reason even though they were right
same lol
"Is there life on Mars?"
"There will be once we get there".
Best answer of em all.
I needed the big d energy in my day.
yea
Elon mask
"ask daivd bowie"
Boring addition: If the rovers got any bacteria on them which is quite possible, then there is already life there.
Every now and then I come back to this video. I don’t know why seeing how chaotic they are gives me so much joy
As an aspiring astronaut, this was so cool to watch. Thanks for sharing!!!
I wish you good luck on your dream!
question: how much money do astronauts make?
astronauts: *not enough*
Hahahahaha YOURE RIGHT MATE
Lol, that’s true tho
@@Lyre206 yes 60-100k for this job? I thought after a mission in space they've made enough money to chill.
Name for people who are training to go to space and working in a space program (200k) for people who went to space but quite and moved on and this is money in 5 month after the person launched (800k)... for the person who launched a few times and then worked in a space program (3m)
For them it is not about the money, it is about their dreams and passion.
This is more interesting than celebrities
Absolutely but people more prioritize interested in film industries and entertainment celebrities
I agree 100%. Hollywood is getting dumber and dumber every year.
Fr
and yet they earn a lot less
In celebrity gossip, all you get to know is a bunch of useless information and in this video you get knowledge you can actually use
Please have them on again, any of them or all of them combined, they are awesome!!!
One of the best videos in RUclips I've watched in a while
I laughed when they said, "to beat the russians."
I love how straight forward they were.
I mean it was a fact
Yes it is, what else, its all about politics and war
Well, yeah, it’s still a good answer
This is the perfect example of "we reach at a point where we do not care" type interview.
You have 900+ likes and have no replies so I thought "why not be the first?" So here we are.....
Are you still reading this?
Why?
It's fine to stop now go do what you were doing before...
Hm? Why are you still here?
Go, shoo shoo.
You still really reading this?
Wow you must be really stupid😀
Well, anyway since you've taken your time to read all of this. Let me give you the "I got a lot of things to do, yet I still read a random person's reply award"🏅

Yes not enough when football players get millions for Kicking a ball
I would LOVE to see the unedited version of this video!!
You can clearly see that they love their job by looking at the way they all communicate with each other.
"How to become an astronaut"
"Get Lucky"
I can't
A little rough math: about 10 people a year go to space. We'll say half of them for the first time. So 5 new people a year get to go to space. 53 players win a Superbowl every year. Not only is it harder to get to space than to win the Superbowl, it's about ten times harder.
You've gotta be good, but you also have to have an insane amount of luck.
@@cptjeff1 That's not true though. The difficulty should be relative to the number of people attempting it. I am sure there are more people out there playing whatever Superbowl is playing compared to being an astronaut. You need to factor in the prior probability instead of only the joint probability.
*we've come to far to give up who we are*
I think I read somewhere its 30x harder to be an astronaut than be to be accepted into Harvard. So like a .04-0.08% chance
Be a liar

their teamwork, their attitude, how they're so comfortable with their space station comrades; these are one of the top things that made me want to become an astronaut....it's sad that the ISS will be retired around 2030
"is there life on Mars?"
Astronaut: There will be once we get there.
Me: make sense
Took me long to get that hahaha
Bruh 🤣
I just thought of David Bowie when they answered that question
There is water under the surface, meaning potentially there are microorganisms living in that water.
