5 Space Misconceptions Most People Still Believe

You have the same pressure inside your body as the air outside of it. That’s why you can’t feel the pressure. If you wish to demonstrate the air pressure you can try to make a vacuum.

Douglas Adams gave the best explanation for learning to fly (erm, orbit). To paraphrase, the trick is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Great episode!

You keep using pressure when you mean density. Its the density that dampers movement of the flag, and keeps the exhaust from flaring not the pressure. I know you know this but its driving me nuts.:p

You made a rather silly error when talking about the blue origin capsule at 9:28 They feel zero G the moment the engines stop. They are still going up but the capsule is now slowing down at 1G and that means for the people inside they experience zero G. And then when it reaches apogee and starts falling back to earth again the continue to have zero G. It's why a short rocket ride up to space can give people so much zero G time in the capsule.

Frankly I knew there were more than one moon landings, but even if you asked me after watching this video I still wouldn't be able to tell you how many times. I just know it's more than one.

One of the many funny (or scary) things about the moon-landing deniers is they're sure they're correct but they can't answer the most basic of questions because they never do any research to answer their own questions. I no longer try. They want to believe they're in the know, when actually they know nothing at all.

Tim … Felix… Marcus … NASA spaceflight … No Scott M? Missed a big one there 🤪

Putting someone in Kerbal Space Program tutorials is probably the best way to teach about orbital mechanics and re-entry.

6:18 Snormula E ( formally Snormula 1 ) cars won't do 250 MPH! How can you be trusted after this? You shouldn't miss lead people they are dumb enough.

I would argue space exposure feels cold. Humans can technically not feel warm or cold. It is more about the practical aspects of how heat is added or removed we feel it. The body sweats, pushes heat out of the body via water. The water gets on top of the skin and wind etc blows over it and it evaporates faster, you feel cooled, because the body can now push out more heat via more sweating that can get position on the skin en evaporate. Question, what happens to liquid water in space?

I hate when you put background noise in your videos.. makes you sound cheap and unprofessional.

If astronauts sent a long metal screen attached to a cable into a crater not in the sun and the same outside the crater the statically charged aregulith caused by the sun I wonder if could be a no maintance DC power solution.

Great video!!
