"Hey guys, wanna do some backyard chemistry to launch some rockets?"
"Sure."
"We'll be called the Suicide Squad, because it's going to be dangerous."
"We're in."
I'd watch a documentary on Simon's early beginnings & journey through the world of RUclips to his current established cyber empire.
I believe this calls for an unreasonably long video about JPL.
Its gonna be a pretty boring video (JPL happen to be my initials)
Great idea. I would definitely watch that. But not the one about this guy. ⬆️🤣🤣
So this channel will be one of the Whistleverse's serious channels, unlike the crazy fun powder fuled other channel that was once Business themed. Still, this one is becoming one of my favorite channels.
There is a tradition at JPL to eat "good luck peanuts" before critical mission events, such as orbital insertions or landings. As the story goes, after the Ranger program had experienced failure after failure during 1960s, the first successful Ranger mission to impact the Moon occurred after a JPL staff member had decided to pass out peanuts to relieve tension. The staff jokingly decided that the peanuts must have been good luck charm, and the tradition persisted.
Those space geeks are just as superstitious as a ball player. 😂😂😂
I really liked this video. The serious, more in-depth ones are more interesting than the sort of just "space facts" type videos, though I do like those as well.

Thank you so much for this channel Simon! A dedicated channel for space sciences hosted by someone with superlative narration skills sprinkled with witticisms and snarky asides? Yes please!
Thanks a lot dude! This makes my middle aged heart happy!
anyone else see that one person wearing an american bright shirt at jpl? looks suspicious!
Jack Parsons was a character, well worth looking up 👍
A ridiculously long video on JZL and it's programs would be amazing
The beginnings of JPL were alluded to in 'The Martian'. Just after Mark Watney blew himself up 'lighting hydrogen on fire'...
Turn down the background music!
Fun fact: before it was changed, the flight plan for Voyager 1 would have it flyby Saturn then on to Pluto, but that plan was changed mid-flight to a fly-by of Titan. If they hadn't changed it, there would have been photos of Pluto long before New horizons.
Fantastic video SImon and team :) Keep it up
No views? Sweet. I'm number 1
You could make my poop cosistencies over a month sound interesting
Ahha! A new Channel to add to the Whistle-verse! I'm here for it!
You need to cover JHU APL
How many channels are you on, anyway!?
16:25 Stopped sending data this past week though :( they might still be able to fix it and get a few more years out of it, though! But it will be a long time if EVER that we get a mission with such length and importance (though Hubble is the close runner up at the moment and hopefully JWST will get there)
Awesome video working in aerospace this is great. Maybe aerospace corporation next and how they let marvel use its campus and logo
I like how Simon doesn't push people to his new channels, but lets Business Daddy do that for him.
Other space agencies make the rocket of tomorrow. JPL works on making the next decade rockets.
"...And God Created Larry (Wall). No one knows why God Created Larry, unless it was to lower productivity at JPL..."

Great, now I'm crying about a robot on Mars again 😭 thanks NASA
Agree with others, good formula. Good watch. And now look, we got independent people making better shows than many networks ever did.

let me correct you: OsirisX is an assessment of the profitability of asteroid based missions. If there is no profit to be gained there is no interest in such missions.
Damn this is a lot of information. 😮
This could easily be a series. Amazing overview, Simon.
JPL's history and achievements in just 30 min. A challenging proposition 🚀🚀🚀
If they send a mini helicopter with the astronauts that eventually go to mars that would be peak. It would probably be easier to send it first and have them land in the same spot
Do a video about Draper Labs!

One of those names mentioned at the start, Jack Parsons... He's an interesting character. He was a brilliant engineer, but he was also a stone cold nutter who followed the Thelemic religion founded by Aleister Crowley and managed to blow himself up making pyrotechnics for a film set. He was doing this to try and make ends meet after he lost FBI clearance during the Red Scare. He'd also had his savings defrauded from him by his wife Marjorie Cameron and his friend. That friend was L. Ron Hubbard, also known as the founder of the Hollywood space cult we know as Scientology
My grandparents worked for Aerojet. They still have a huge property outside of Sacramento. I worked on the Aerojet property too.
First rover on mars? We just pretending Mars 3 didn't happen in the 70's now? Might have only operated for 110 seconds but thats still a first. Fuck the soviets but don't pretend history didnt happen
Hearing the story of the Ranger program reminded me of Swamp Castle from the Holy Grail.
3:45, why did you show a missile fired, with the caption of "Mission accomplished" in Syria? I do not understand.
Jack Parsons sure had a crazy yet short life and not enough credit for fathering space travel!!!
legend has it Simon is has his team locked in a basement mass producing RUclips channels on every topic in the universe. 💀
I've never heard of it referred to as "the" JPL before, but this was still a fun video!
How have I only just found this channel 😮😮
the amazing things the wyte man has achieved its remarkable
Sorry, I can no longer watch Simon without the rants.
probing uranus with simon!
Great channel!
RIP lil man
