You are the most professional-unprofessional YT Space Content Producer I'm aware of. I very much appreciate your work, and don't sell yourself short. :)
There's a certain extemporaneous quality that the missing microphones and cameras added, a certain joie de vivre! Wonderful to experience... But DON'T do it again! Approach this like flying an airplane: 1. Make a checklist. 2. Use it.
@@2ndfloorsongsI always make a checklist when I am planning for a vacation because otherwise I'll most definitely forget to take something, or forget to take something home.
I just love the giddy enthusiasm of both Scott and Steve. I love that this stuff is being lovingly preserved to see how certain problems were solved in the early and developing space industry. This was just so much fun to watch. Can't wait for Part 2.
Yea thank God there's a transcript, I couldn't understand half of what they were saying from them carrying on and giggling like a couple of school girls, he sure did sound like he was having fun.
If I *ever* thought I was a serious nerd, this would show just how little I can lay claim that term. These two are the definition of space and computer nerds, and I love that.
The APS Arm circuit breaker issue on Apollo 11 is overblown as a problem. The way those breakers worked, you pushed this plastic post in, and the metal connector at the base completed the circuit. Pull the post out, the circuit is interrupted. After the top of the post got broken off while the crew moved around in the LM cabin in their suits and backpacks, it wasn't ever a problem to push the breaker in, all you needed to do was find something -- like the felt tip pen Aldrin used -- to push it in. As Aldrin said at the time, he didn't see a problem in arming the APS engine with that circuit breaker, but he had "a hard time seeing how you would ever pull it back out." The electrical path work-arounds that Houston and Grumman did were to disable the APS engine after the stage was back in orbit. At that point in the program, they didn't want to re-light the APS after a long burn because of throat erosion issues early engines had encountered, so once they were in orbit, they wanted to electrically isolate the APS so that it couldn't accidentally be fired. (Astronauts had been known to enter the program to use the APS when setting up an RCS rendezvous burn, especially when they were tired, so ensuring the APS wouldn't fire was a safety thing.) What the ground did was to work out a few other switch positions that would effectively isolate the APS and prevent it from firing, even though the APS Arm circuit breaker was still closed. I mean, yeah, you hate having ANYTHING off-nominal with the circuitry to the get-my-little-pink-butt-off-the-Moon engine, and I guess it was possible that the side pressure that broke the end off the breaker could have damaged the electrical connector at the base, at which time you really could have had a Bad Day. But once Aldrin felt and saw that the breaker was firmly closed, the only remaining concern, really, was how to disarm it after ascent.
How many billions of dollars worth of space hardware has he got??? Damn. That's a complete SPACE MUSEUM he's got there. All it needs is the exhibits to be mounted in cases and accompanied with interactive video displays with footage of the items being made and in use. It would be ideal either as an online or museum for little kids to visit as a school trip. Inspire the next generation.
Now that’s a candy shop I want to be a kid in! Thanks, Steve & Scott, for letting us witness your shared enthusiasm for what this collection represents! More!!
Holy cow, what a collection. I’ve never envied the rich like this before. Yachts and fancy cars and mansions don’t do it for me, but space flown Apollo artifacts? Wow.
Yeah me too. I laugh at flash cars, million dollar houses, I'm happy with what I have. Well until now that is. Any one of these would be my prized possession. Is Steve Jurvetson after a new friend?? I could listen to the background of these pieces all day!!
@@dbf1dwareit does sound like it’s in relatively safe hands here. He’s not just after having it but seems genuinely very interested in what he has, how it works and its place in history. It would be nice to have it be more accessible for the general public, but thee are worse places for these artifacts to end up.
And so very cool that above being able to afford to collect these things, he is willing to share (visually, at least) his collection with others. A sort of privately owned "public" museum.
Steve Jurvetson basically changed my life with one presentation he gave I saw on a RUclips video years ago, which is the Ray Kurzweil version of the Moore's law graph. The man's enthusiasm is infectious.
What an amazing collection! Bits and pieces that at least half the population would think were just rubbish have been saved from oblivion. I love the fact that the collection goes through from the earliest years of space flight to the cutting edge of today’s space flight. I could get lost in this collection for days, maybe more!
Note that much of the Apollo hardware in the day or even 10 years later was considered scrap. RE The AGC that Curious Marc and team revived was part of 2 tons of scrap that someone bought and only years later discovered that they had an AGC
. brooding socialists bots too, complaining about 'private collections' not being in a museum, yada yada. In the 70s and 80s NASA deemed this stuff as 'scrap', and most museum curators passed it up, "but we already got enough spacey knobby switchy things".
The discussion was amazing. The complexity of the various systems boggles the mind. The building of triple redundancy contrasts with making a manual option on a critical valve.
This is why the early astronaut groups were legitimately required to be test pilots. They didn't just have cool heads, they had smart heads. An excellent test pilot is someone who has an engineer's mind and ability to thoroughly understand the systems he's flying and how they interact.
@@donjones4719 The video footage and photos of Armstrong being suited up in the ready room, his face/mind is so dialed in, rock solid concentration and seriousness. Truly the right stuff.
As much fun as you had geeking out over all of this ( and I don't blame you, this place is awesome ) I get the feeling he's just as excited to be showing it all off and explaining what's what and some of the history behind the various bits and bobs.
that salyut titanium tank is honestly one of the most fascinating things i have ever layed my eyes on. ive always wondered about long term exposure to space and micrometeor impacts. what a fine example. i am so so jealous you managed to go see Steves collection. Your content is sublime Scott and always has been.
Lovely. Nothing like a couple of nerds geeking out on space junk, and as I know from a recent visit to an MG Car Club autojumble, one nerd's junk is another nerds gold, and this stuff is all 'gold'.
Your so lucky, what a collection and Steve is so enthusiastic about it, I had seen bits of this collection on Curious Marc`s channel and so glad to see more.
That is some collection. I imagine outside of the Smithsonian, and NASA who can keep the big big pieces and hardware, there are few places that have such a broad array of kit representing a majority of manned spaceflight. Looking forward already to part 2.
i dig steve he has such a amazing collection ..and has loaned curious marcs team items to repair to use to recrecreate the apollo moon landing ..cant wait to see pt 2
I feel very proud of myself for immediately remembering the Skylab floor grid system was triangular the moment I saw the plate on the sole of the shoe!
After flying model rockets back in the early to mid '70s, members of our rocket club would stop at the neighborhood Dairy Queen for food or ice cream. Since we were members of the NAR (National Association of Rocketry) we'd flown in competition launches and meets. If something went wrong during your model's flight, you'd suffer a "DQ" or disqualification. So we'd often consider "borrowing" a floor mat from the restaurant that had the slogan "You DQ here" printed on it. 🍦🙂👍
I have a photograph of apollo 11 capsule taken from the deck of the ship that retrieved the capsule. It was taken by a family friend who served that ship, he brought his personal camera and took the picture himself. I'd be happy to see it in a museum, even though I'd hate to let it go.
Luckily, photos can easily be scanned or copied. Just scan it and send the scan via email to the Smithsonian or other space museum - if you like you can offer them to make a copy for themselves or for them to scan it with a better scanner. Museums don't just collect originals - they quite often keep digital or analog copies of artifacts that reside in other museums or private collections in order to provide better context information to their own researchers and patrons. They also often borrow artifacts from other museums and private individuals to display them for a few months or do research with them and then hand them back.
18:37 Mike Collins' Omega Speedmaster watch. Buzz wore his on the outside of his spacesuit, visible in photos. Neil's watch was strapped to the LEM control panel to act as a backup for a failed cockpit clock. Sadly, Buzz's watch went missing after the mission, likely stolen during shipping back to Houston.
02:20 There is a scene in "Apollo 13" where they show how that worked 04:04 "ejection charges hopefully removed" sounds pretty confident 13:09 Is the Tesla also part of the debris section? (Sorry could not resist) 21:53 Ben Krasnov once said he would love to start up one of these fuelcells. I still hope that happens someday.
17:41 "Michael Collins’ Chronograph" I believe this moon watch is gifted from Omega to Collins. All the NASA official issued Speedmaster watches are government property and needed to be return after the mission. After one astronaut attempted to bough one home failed, Omega gives identical one to each astronaut who participated the moon mission.

Yes. But I would have been bored looking at this stuff without the conversation of two knowledgeable enthusiasts, or even the typically dry museum tour.
Much of it was deemed to be scrap by NASA in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Museum curators passed it up or didn't know or care. Silicon Valley geeks with personal deep knowledge to the rescue, and with the funds to restore it back to working condition.
💯I hope at some point in the future he he donates his collection to an existing aerospace museum or to a new museum. He seems like a decent person so I’m hopeful it will happen. However, in most cases wealthy people with collections like this are not good stewards and often got their collections using questionable means. (I’m looking at you, Hobby Lobby.)
This is an absolutely incredible private collection! I didn't know it even existed! Have you checked out the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson Kansas? It's not quite the Smithsonian but I think it may be only second in line after the Smithsonian.
What an amazing, important collection. Would be great if the public could come see it, I know there's a lot of space nerds that would love to. At least we have your videos to show us some of it though.
I honestly admire your enthusiasm scott. You have a major Metropolis worth of subs and yet you never lost your authenticity. Many - if not most - would crumble under the self imposed perception of having to upgrade everything to get the best production values to retain.... and so on. But you just like to share your passion and that is obviously enough. Sure you had those cams ready and the audio would be better and what not. I would have tried to capture this opportunity as best as I can as well. In the end though, I think at least, the way and why you do something is more important than how you do it. From turning to your vids to figure out how i can make those Green Dudes go to the Mun, and taking this knowledge to develop my on style of playing KSP to you just giving input on how space and going there actually works - ppl basically KSPing everything (sure the edited professional Coverage after the fact makes it look like no issues all going to plan) - I say thank you. Just continue your journey, I enjoy going with you. btw they should have picked your for Dear Moon no offence to Tim.
This is absolutely one of my favorite episodes, I am in love with that collection, i would nerd out so hard being in that room. Im lucky i live close to the California Science center which has some nice stuff, but not like this
He's cataloging and preserving them so it's hard to ask for much more. Public museums have limited space and a lot of operating costs so they can't realistically take on every artifact that exists.
It's so fantastic seeing all those objects and especially those that actually flew! Takes me back to those early days of space exploration when I was growing up. Can't wait for part 2. Love the enthusiasm!! TFS!!
Steve's mannerisms may be a little "hard to take", as my grandparents would've euphemistically put it, but there is simply no denying his intellect is of the highest caliber. The collection of items he has amassed, the depth and breadth of his knowledge about each, and the rapidity of recall regarding the minutest of detail is frankly staggering. Though the object labeling leaves something to be desired, the overall impression is one of this being among the best space artifact collections in the world. He should hire someone to properly inventory and assign accession numbers, etc. to everything - the collection will surely live on after him, likely at some point for public viewing. Incidentally, you can see a video of Charlie Duke holding and talking about that shovel at 7:00 that was used to collect lunar material on Steve's channel.
This visit sounds like a school exam. The eager student is presenting his professor with the facts and details and the professor is assessing his knowledge and presentation.
