Tom can object to being a celebrity -- he's RUclips famous but hardly a household name. I'm just happy to see continued collaborations between RUclipsrs like this. It ultimately makes for better content.
@Jimmy De'Souza He said that "not all Republicans are bigot, but all bigots are Republicans". Is like saying that not all Democrats are communists, but all communists are leftists
@Jimmy De'Souza If he had said "Bigots vote Trump. Therefore Trump voters are bad" or something similar, then this would be the fallacy you describe. He didn't say that, though, you projected that into the video yourself. He never says Trump voters are bad. He says bigots feel validated by Trump's win. His conclusion is that we should all be friendlier to each other and lead by example to combat the push to extremes in politics. If you are against being friendlier, I can't help you.
No Tom, Brady used “celebrity” in exactly the right way. Want proof that you are famous? Play “akinator” with Alexa and she can guess “Tom Scott” as a famous person in as few as 9 questions.
you must have been very lucky, he was "played" just few hundred times and required more than 30 questions to guess for me (and didn't manage to guess it at all the first time round)
My mom told me about how they used similar scenery models with cameras for visuals in early simulators when she was in the Air Force, at least the older simulators they had at the time (early '70s if I remember right). She said that she'd been warned to not crash the sim, as doing so would physically crash the camera into the terrain model and damage something. Still cheaper than crashing a real airplane or space shuttle though.
This was a brilliant video. One thing that continues to blow my mind though is how little mention there is in edutainment (and media in general) about the need for radiators on spacecraft. I was born before Challenger exploded and this is _the first mention I've ever heard_ that the shuttle had radiators inside the cargo bay. Maybe you could do a video dispelling the common misconception that because space is cold (sort of), the problem is keeping astronauts warm. Nobody ever talks about heat rejection in space - I think you all just assume that everyone knows already, but we don't. Please tell us 😁
At 5:03 you can see a yellow box on the left. It's a G.I. Joe Mercury capsule. I had one of those as a kid back in the mid-Sixties. Brings back a lot of memories to see that there.
It wasn't owned by a smoker. I have lots of old tech I owned back in the day and it looks like new. A lot of old computers, game consoles, and other electronics go up for sale because their owners who were smokers didn't live to be that old. Nicotine is the primary reason older stuff like that turns a nasty yellow brown.
@@kg4boj You are wrong about that. I have several pieces of old tech that yellow over the ages. And, you guessed it, I'm a non-smoker. It's the flame retardant in the plastics that react to UV, which cause the plastics to yellow, or even get brown depending on the exposure length and type of materials used. With peroxide you can bleach the colored plastics back to white, whatever color they where before exposure.
Still a brilliant video. Amazing to think that that giant piece of space memorabilia is so overlooked. Kinda makes you wonder what other treasures of the past might be hiding in plane sight.
I ***loved*** my day at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville. I'd wanted most of my adult life to go there and finally got the chance about nine years ago. I drove there before it opened in the morning and they had to ask me to leave when it closed. If they hadn't thrown me out I'd have still been there the next day :-)
The "Midway" aircraft carrier (now a museum in San Diego), also has a clear-plastic model on display. About 12 feet long (if memory serves), it was also used to plan construction details of the ship.
I don’t often get disoriented by images of things pointed “upside down” in space, but the images at 2:07 really made some part of my brain nervous at the image of a “nosediving plane”
I spent a long time looking at that space shuttle landing map when I was in Huntsville for ThinkerCon. I thought it was fascinating and quite detailed.
Thanks for reminding me the Space Shuttle could land. Holy shit, that's awesome. It's kinda sad that it didn't actually work financially. But at least now we have rockets that land which is even cooler. I'm actually going to the technic museum in Speyer, Germany soon, where they have the Buran, the Russian version of the Space Shuttle. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
@Ukrainian Crematorium Actually the Buran "Orbiter K1" did fly to space and complete 2 orbits around the Earth, then came back and landed. All of this AUTONOMOUSLY ! The Buran had no cosmonauts on board but took off and landed on it's own, in 1988 Sadly it was it's first and only flight
@@Ivan-qf1lj This is not correct. There were a number of the orbiters built to various stages of completion, scattered throughout Russia and the world today; but the orbiter OK-1K1 did fly an autonomous mission and landed back to Earth. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the collapse of a hanger where it was shelved since the mission. The one in Speyer is a testbed for aerodynamic flight (OK-GLI), and so it features jet engines to create takeoff. It looks like the Soviets were pretty well invested into the Buran family of shuttles, but shelved it due to the collapse of the USSR, as well as it primarily being created to compete with America.
Dunno who this guy is, much like Brady's other guests (sorry Brady), but I'm glad he was stopped from bobbing that camera about. Good video none the less.
What's the see-through cylinder model on the drawers behind Ed and Tom? And what's with the French provincial footstool next to it? That's just too unexpected not to ask about!
I remember in the early days of the shuttle (not sure about later launches) one of the things they reported in the news was the number of thermal tiles the shuttle lost. I'm thinking maybe because anything over a certain number it became unsafe to attempt reentry.
I wonder if they still have the Shuttle simulator cabin from 1983's Space Camp era? My crew burned up on re-entry due to... a damaged tile that we didn't space walk to try and fix. Oh the trauma.
@@duckrutt, same. I checked out the Space Camp site and saw the '89 and forward for 'Alumni'. I sent them a note from the Contact Us form about pre-89 so we'll see. I do seem to remember that my time there was in the way early days when it was more of an experiment than an actual 'Space Camp!!!' thing. Thanks for the '86 info.
@@zengargoyle Don't get me wrong, the shuttle sim was still there but it was in a temporary building (I think, it was a while ago) and the dorm was, for lack of a better description, a bomb shelter. They were still in the planning stages for the new 'habitat' and Pathfinder display. It looks like in '87 they built a dedicated training room for the shuttle sim (Possibly a new one? I don't remember if the old one was called Atlantis) and a giant tank for underwater training. If only I could have waited another couple years.
Heard back from Space Camp people. Records pre '89 were all handwritten paper and such. Probably buried in a box in the basement if they even still exist. :(
I think special suits,gloves,machines,tools,respiratory masks and so on,maybe a person cannot handle it with out Persional Protection Equipment or special PPE.

Thanks for letting me tag along, Brady, and thanks to all the team at the Rocket Center! This was a fantastic place to visit.
Tag along? You made it possible for us to even make both videos! Saved the day.
- Brady
How jealous was Matt that he didn't get to go?
Tom, not a celebrity? Riiiiight
Tom Scott he did not complete the explanation about the change to the thermal protection system.
Now I want to see Matt's reaction to this. Amount of DING's would be enormous.
Alternate title: Tom Scott experiences pure joy.
Tom can object to being a celebrity -- he's RUclips famous but hardly a household name. I'm just happy to see continued collaborations between RUclipsrs like this. It ultimately makes for better content.
How did you keep Destin away from this!? Feels like a real kid-in-a-candy-store situation!
Destin actually lives in Huntsville, Alabama (where this is at) so I'm sure he's seen it all!
@@TheGgamer123 I mean I think they know that, the reason they were all at the Space and Rocket center was for Thinkercon.
Destin is probably the key grip for this video.
This was likely shot alongside Thinkercon, so we know that Destin was running around doing ALL THE THINGS.
Wow, I think this is about as close as I've ever seen Tom come to being giddy
You should see his video at LC39, titled "The Hard Part About Getting To Orbit Isn't The Height"
Nice to see the two of you working together!
Tom's done a couple of Computerphile episodes but that was quite some time back!
Tom shows why he is a RUclips celebrity
Totally!
@Jimmy De'Souza Source?
@Jimmy De'Souza He said that "not all Republicans are bigot, but all bigots are Republicans". Is like saying that not all Democrats are communists, but all communists are leftists
@Jimmy De'Souza So what's the point? And what's the name of "general area of broke logic you're falling in to" even mean?
@Jimmy De'Souza If he had said "Bigots vote Trump. Therefore Trump voters are bad" or something similar, then this would be the fallacy you describe.

The joy on your face, Tom is wonderful.
I will click on anything with Tom Scott.
No Tom, Brady used “celebrity” in exactly the right way. Want proof that you are famous? Play “akinator” with Alexa and she can guess “Tom Scott” as a famous person in as few as 9 questions.
the german akinator needs more than 30 questions
You don't need Alexa to play Akinator. It exists also as a website and as a phone/tablet app.
you must have been very lucky, he was "played" just few hundred times and required more than 30 questions to guess for me (and didn't manage to guess it at all the first time round)
Is that a reasonable way to define "celebrity" ?
Rew Rose perhaps not... certainly one can be famous without being a celebrity (although I don’t think one can be a celebrity without being famous 🙂)
Happy Tom is happy :)
24 hours of this please.
That analog landing simulator is mindboggling!
Like something out of a Jules Verne book.
My mom told me about how they used similar scenery models with cameras for visuals in early simulators when she was in the Air Force, at least the older simulators they had at the time (early '70s if I remember right).

Count Me In!
also matt will be bummed he couldn't come with you for this one Tom!

Good job, Tom. Thank you Brady!
My dad work for Rockwell as an engineer on the Shuttle and was part of the team dedicated to the black tiles. He had a tile in his home office.
I didn't realise till now that you 3 videos from a double century which is amazing and thank you Brady for these amazing videos.
The Shuttle is a work of art, not just an engineering marvel. Downright beautiful flight hardware.
At 5:03 you can see a yellow box on the left. It's a G.I. Joe Mercury capsule. I had one of those as a kid back in the mid-Sixties. Brings back a lot of memories to see that there.
growing up in Alabama, I always loved trips to the Space and Rocket Center. This just makes me wanna go back.
5:07 Keen observation; it's very close to being asbestos
But Tom's been to Asbestos...
It's outstanding how the transparent model didn't get yellow or opaque over time. That's NASA materials for you.
That, and proper storage?
TheNasaDude I think the yellowing is a result of UV degradation . If it’s properly stored it won’t yellow
It wasn't owned by a smoker. I have lots of old tech I owned back in the day and it looks like new. A lot of old computers, game consoles, and other electronics go up for sale because their owners who were smokers didn't live to be that old.

absolutely incredible, thank you so much!
That analog landing simulator sounds like something they’d use as an effect in Star Trek! It’s amazing that this was used for actual space training.
I would really love a model of that see-thru shuttle.
Still a brilliant video. Amazing to think that that giant piece of space memorabilia is so overlooked. Kinda makes you wonder what other treasures of the past might be hiding in plane sight.
Honestly if it hadn't been for the title, I'd have guessed Destin from Smarter Every Day running the camera when you said Huntsville.
You always find the best people!

It would be really cool to see that simulator in action. I'd love to see what it would have looked like to the simulator pilot
The "Midway" aircraft carrier (now a museum in San Diego), also has a clear-plastic model on display. About 12 feet long (if memory serves), it was also used to plan construction details of the ship.
Back to back Hank Green and Tom Scott!? Be still my heart! Epic couple of videos
This really makes you realise the huge enterprise that these space shuttles were...
It was quite an endeavour to build them, yeah.
And when it comes to conquering space, the shuttle was a worthy challenger.
Wow - I'm 202 miles from Huntsville (Lithonia, GA). Would love to visit this archive.
I think the gloves here aren't used to protect the object from damage like usual, but to protect the hands from the dust the shuttle collected xD
what dust? i would think its a replacement thermo panel that was never used .As he said , still in the original plastic wraping.
He's talking about the super dusty transparent model.
Tom is so a celebrity!
I don’t often get disoriented by images of things pointed “upside down” in space, but the images at 2:07 really made some part of my brain nervous at the image of a “nosediving plane”
I once had a whole book on how that thing worked. It's long gone now, but it was a wonderful thing.
so you do a guest appearance with the american at the royal society and then with a brit over in america?
Tom muthafookin celebrity Scott!
If Brady ever decides to take a vacation, I nominate Rupert or Tom to be an honorary replacement host.

More of this please!
I wish I could meet Tom and Brady!
Is it bad that my favorite Tom Scott video is actually a Brady Haran video?
Tom, you are always great! (ad of course I really envy you because you have been able to hold a space shuttle tile in your hands!)
SpaceX needs to make something like this once the first Starship & Superheavy (BFR) are complete!
This is so cool!
Definitely upping the game in the Cewebrity field with Hank & Tom (who really need to do a podcast)
I quite like this unscripted Tom
It's a rare sight, isn't it?
Awesome!
I sooo want to go to the museum again next time I'm in Huntsville
See-through space shuttle first time I see that on you tube.
That "Analog" flight simulator is interesting. Would have never thought of that.
Awesome
Great episode! =)

Dunno who this guy is, much like Brady's other guests (sorry Brady), but I'm glad he was stopped from bobbing that camera about. Good video none the less.

That's interesting.
I can't handle these levels of stress.
how many channels does Brady record videos for?
I'd love to see an animation of the fuel levels dropping during a take off.
I wish i had a replica of the shuttle a little smaller though. I have one but its a toy so its not perfectly scaled.
Wow that be cool if I can buy a model like that.
There is no way you went to Huntsville and didn't get together with Destin. Waiting impatiently to see the results of that :)
The Dread Pirate Cpt Tom Scott is a Celebrity
...did you two meet with @smartereveryday?
Omg I fucking love scott
Open the payload bay doors HAL.
Couldn't take the time to do a bit of dusting before the shoot?
If the tiles are too dangerous to handle, how did the techs handle them as they were being installed?
I think special suits,gloves,machines,tools,respiratory masks and so on,maybe a person cannot handle it with out Persional Protection Equipment or special PPE.
I feel so bad for those growing up and won't be able to see a shuttle launch/mission :/
I see the words Space & Shuttle in the title. I click
To be precise, Mattingly was exposed. He didn't get sick. (And he looked nothing like Gary Sinese either.)
Transparent aluminum?
...the inner cargo bay door radiators were in three sections per side. Not two, as he states incorrectly in this video.
Somehow I sense that Matt is going to be a bit envious
They will need a park bench to discuss, then an octagon ring to settle it.
I think he'd go completely apeshit about not being there with them. I'd behave exactly like that.
Wow. I though it's some kind of hard clay.
Brady Haran! Tom Scott! Space Shuttle!! (fan girl squeal!)

So... ¿where is the Shuttle's launch escape system?
It didn't have one.
But wait, you both got all the way to freakin' Alabama, and Destin's not in it?
