People are doing everything to ruin it for us. I even get my medicine sorrt out by day in little packages, always on time, unlike regular pharmacies that yell at you because you didn't answer your phone and now you have to wait a day to see if they deliver it then providing I answer my phone on time again.

@@shauntempley9757 First, Amazon did not invent an industry. Online shopping was around before Amazon. Before that, catalog-based shopping was around (which should be considered the same industry). Also, inventing something doesn't make something private. There are lots of public institutions that invent things and US citizens have to pay taxes to support Amazon and Space-X. So calling it private is debatable.
@@ssssssstssssssss Amazon invented a shop store entirely operating from online sales on physical objects, and only online sales. Entertainment is classed as a separate industry, and it was only here that online selling and buying existed, before Amazon did with books, then furniture, then computers, then food, and so on. All products that before Amazon were sold by stores getting them in before selling them to people that had to go to the store to buy them. So unique, that it is classed as a separate industry, so yes, it did invent an industry. Stop splitting hairs.

@@myratsalad They're not accomplishing anything groundbreaking, they are trying to commercialize space trips. If you were actually interested in space you would know this.
No matter where you travel, "space" is never "empty". It is ALWAYS a matter of degree -- even in deep space beyond the Solar System. If YOU were put to sleep and then reawakened at the height of both the Spaceshiptwo AND the New Shepherd flights -- you would be unable to tell the difference visually by just looking out the window. The number of air molecules at both maximum heights are so few that it would require special instrumentation to confirm they even exist.
These two "space flights" were nothing short of disappointing, to someone who grew up watching the Mercury through Apollo programs, then the Space Shuttle. Those were astronauts, they spent weeks in space (ISS folks up to a year in space), science and exploration were the objective. This is only opinion but these two latest efforts were not impressive at all.
But did the hippie-era astronauts come from wealthy families? Probably. I hope they at least had a "poor family" token astronaut that they likely refuse to make too famous (since the wealthy own the censored/editorial media).
@@letsomethingshine are you saying that only wealthy went to space? And of course they don't let average joe go up there because why would you need him or her there?

Basically your comment makes no sense or may be you some woke person that doesn't understand what and why and who went into space.

One of the reasons I love Neil is his rational optimism. Even when he's justifiably sceptical of this billionaire circus going on, he still clarifies at the end that he's not necessarily condemning it, as he's essentially aware of the part this can play in the big picture, in terms of space exploration. Neil gets plenty of praise for his knowledge and intelligence, but not enough for his wisdom, in my opinion.
I disagree. Generally, Neil said he has no problem with, to pararphrase " a whole new industry". In a period when we have to reduce CO2 emissions, the billionaire space race is just another symptom of failure ( to prevent the severe effects of climate change).

you are non just falling, you are also weightless by definition, or you will never be, yuo will be freefalling on the iss (with the iss), tv satellites are freefalling, the moon is freefalling to the earth and the earth is freefalling to the sun, so when you are orbiting the moon at the same time you are freefalling to the moon, to the earth and to the sun, and you are also weightless just because there isn't a big object touching you and keepeng you from accelerating in his direction
I prefer to think of it like this, airplanes used to be super-expensive to fly. Then one day someone got the idea "let's make them bigger so they'll carry more people. We'll sell more tickets and make lot's more money than if we just left this as something only the ultra-wealthy can do". This is the beginnings of sort of like the post Wright Brothers era of privatized space travel.

@@laramiegraber6874 From what I've seen and read, the guy leading the Inspiration 4 flight (and traveling on it as well) is not a billionaire (or at least, not at the level of Bezos and company). Also, the big thing with Inspiration 4 is that it's all-civilian. No pre-existing astronauts are going on that flight, though the three people will basically be astronauts once they're done with their training.

@@rodanderson8490 On the surface it may seem like a win win, but the problem comes when any scientific progress reached by this company is exploited by this company for the sake of not profit but greed.

The 2 mm (Branson) vs 3-4 mm (Bezos) vs a friggin' mile (Musk) is a great analogy of what they're aiming at. And it's worth mentioning that Musk's SpaceX has been to the ISS and helped with their supplies. So Musk have sent un-manned vehicles the full cm up :)

I can think of the below reasons of why this was a remarkable feat : - Introduction of the Private Sector in Space. Never before has any private enterprise entered into space and I think after seeing history we can easily make out once Private Enterprise start seeing scope and business then the growth associated in that field sky-rockets. Think Computers and AI and the Internet. -Commercial Spaceflight. This is the business they are aiming for now. Once this gets pretty mainstream Humans even of the middle class will be able to experience that view from space as well and I think that wouldn't have been possible if we only depended on government agencies like ISRO,NASA,ESA and the likes. -This generation hasn't seen the space race of the 1950s. Maybe this is the long due inspiration we needed for space education,need and scope?

I’ve been reading “Mercury Rising” which has a lot of interesting detail about the origins of the Mercury program. As I’ve been watching BO and VG crow about their accomplishments while not quite able to duplicate Alan Shephard’s flight, which reached an altitude of 116 miles 60 years ago, I ran into this passage in the book: “No one, in fact, had been more dismissive of suborbital flight than [Hugh] Dryden, who’d told Congress in 1958 that it was equivalent to ‘tossing a man up in the air’; it had, he said, ‘about the same technical value as the circus stunt of shooting a young lady from a cannon.’ None of this was lost on the astronauts.

I even get my medicine sorrt out by day in little packages, always on time, unlike regular pharmacies that yell at you because you didn't answer your phone and now you have to wait a day to see if they deliver it then providing I answer my phone on time again. I really don't care if the owner makes all that money, how does making him pay more helps me? That means it will be more expensive for people like me.
@cops and govern ment are gangstalkers imagine you're a passenger on an airplane and there's a fly on your shoulder. The fly doesn't know he's traveling at close to 500 mph at 30+ thousand feet. He thinks he's sitting on your shoulder..
@@shauntempley9757 First, Amazon did not invent an industry. Online shopping was around before Amazon. Before that, catalog-based shopping was around (which should be considered the same industry). Also, inventing something doesn't make something private. There are lots of public institutions that invent things and US citizens have to pay taxes to support Amazon and Space-X. So calling it private is debatable.
@@ssssssstssssssss Amazon invented a shop store entirely operating from online sales on physical objects, and only online sales. Entertainment is classed as a separate industry, and it was only here that online selling and buying existed, before Amazon did with books, then furniture, then computers, then food, and so on.
All products that before Amazon were sold by stores getting them in before selling them to people that had to go to the store to buy them.
So unique, that it is classed as a separate industry, so yes, it did invent an industry.
Stop splitting hairs.
Space billionaires want to create a fantasy for themselves like in the movie Elysium.

No matter where you travel, "space" is never "empty". It is ALWAYS a matter of degree -- even in deep space beyond the Solar System.
If YOU were put to sleep and then reawakened at the height of both the Spaceshiptwo AND the New Shepherd flights -- you would be unable to tell the difference visually by just looking out the window. The number of air molecules at both maximum heights are so few that it would require special instrumentation to confirm they even exist.

These two "space flights" were nothing short of disappointing, to someone who grew up watching the Mercury through Apollo programs, then the Space Shuttle. Those were astronauts, they spent weeks in space (ISS folks up to a year in space), science and exploration were the objective. This is only opinion but these two latest efforts were not impressive at all.

But did the hippie-era astronauts come from wealthy families? Probably. I hope they at least had a "poor family" token astronaut that they likely refuse to make too famous (since the wealthy own the censored/editorial media).

One of the reasons I love Neil is his rational optimism. Even when he's justifiably sceptical of this billionaire circus going on, he still clarifies at the end that he's not necessarily condemning it, as he's essentially aware of the part this can play in the big picture, in terms of space exploration. Neil gets plenty of praise for his knowledge and intelligence, but not enough for his wisdom, in my opinion.
I disagree. Generally, Neil said he has no problem with, to pararphrase " a whole new industry". In a period when we have to reduce CO2 emissions, the billionaire space race is just another symptom of failure ( to prevent the severe effects of climate change).

I prefer to think of it like this, airplanes used to be super-expensive to fly. Then one day someone got the idea "let's make them bigger so they'll carry more people. We'll sell more tickets and make lot's more money than if we just left this as something only the ultra-wealthy can do".

I can think of the below reasons of why this was a remarkable feat :
- Introduction of the Private Sector in Space. Never before has any private enterprise entered into space and I think after seeing history we can easily make out once Private Enterprise start seeing scope and business then the growth associated in that field sky-rockets. Think Computers and AI and the Internet.
-Commercial Spaceflight. This is the business they are aiming for now. Once this gets pretty mainstream Humans even of the middle class will be able to experience that view from space as well and I think that wouldn't have been possible if we only depended on government agencies like ISRO,NASA,ESA and the likes.
-This generation hasn't seen the space race of the 1950s. Maybe this is the long due inspiration we needed for space education,need and scope?

Space by the definition of what we are taught since we are learning our ABCs, is the complete lack of matter. Fire cannot exist in a medium with no matter.
@@gnostic.1 you need 3 things for fire: heat, an oxidizer, and a fuel, all 3 of those things are provided in a rocket... you do not need an atmosphere, or you could say the rocket engine and fuel tanks hold in the atmosphere (pressurized gasses)... but even then, even in space, without anything containing it, fire can exist as long as those 3 things are present in enough amounts...
Neil and Co., thanks for getting right down to business tonight. Love your show
I’ve been reading “Mercury Rising” which has a lot of interesting detail about the origins of the Mercury program. As I’ve been watching BO and VG crow about their accomplishments while not quite able to duplicate Alan Shephard’s flight, which reached an altitude of 116 miles 60 years ago, I ran into this passage in the book:
“No one, in fact, had been more dismissive of suborbital flight than [Hugh] Dryden, who’d told Congress in 1958 that it was equivalent to ‘tossing a man up in the air’; it had, he said, ‘about the same technical value as the circus stunt of shooting a young lady from a cannon.’ None of this was lost on the astronauts. Compared to the Russians, Slayton said years later, ‘we … looked like weenies.’”
