Crazy to think modernized rockets was invented less than a century ago and we are already landing stuff on Mars, sending human to moons and sending satellites far away from our solar system

Also crazy to think that It was first used for wars

This is just a 2D demo video for a VR version later on that will allow you to toggle the annotations on or off. They’re provided here as an educational tool but in the VR version you’ll really feel like you are transported back in time and witnessing history!

That's been a question since they first summited in '53. When we release our full Everest experience, we will also be showing this part of the climb as well.

Hillary did, it was kept a secret for a while but eventually the team and Hillary himself admitted it was him, they kept quiet because to them it didn't matter, climbing the mountain was the goal not who was first.

@@jimmywrangles The fact is Hillary would probably not have managed to climb Everest alone. He needed a Sherpa (s) and that was Tenzing. So the question as to who was first up the summit is really academic.

@@Joe-sm7lm Alone? The video specifically states there were 28 other Sherpa's helping them and 400 dudes carried their gear and food up the mount for them.

@@TexasJack78 We're talking about who got to the top ... only the two of them did. I'm saying it's immaterial which got there first.

Thank you! It is definitely our hope this content will be inspiring and engaging for students. More to come!

There's plenty of Mallory and Irvine videos if that's what you seek

They didn't make it, that's why

Btw they could have made it. Surprised noone has ever found Irvine, I'm pretty sure it's not far from Mallory's body. Can't be far from it. The problem is that now China has closed all the access.

A successful descent was as critical as the Ascent for that title...

Thank you for the kind words! The Curies' achievement really helped push scientific advancement even further.

Yes there are. There were polish climber taking the route from china side without sherpas and without oxygen. They reach the summit.

Thank you! We're glad to have been able to access the Goddard Collection at Clark University to ensure we represent his achievement in a very accurate and respectful way.

@@ExLibrisXR, the recreation of his lab down in Roswell, New Mexico is well worth a visit also. Most people go for the aliens. But the most historic stuff is the accomplishments that Goddard did there.

@@dahawk8574Definitely! While Auburn is where he was able to achieve his first successful flight, he was able to build bigger and better rockets while he was in New Mexico.

Thank you for the kind words! The piece was curated by the leading experts at the National Air and Space Museum in D.C. We view it as a great moment of history and can’t wait to share it in a larger experience next year. And we used Unreal Engine to generate the scene, which will be useful for the VR experience we’re working on.

Thank you for sharing! Videos like this deserve more views. Hope to see this in the DC museum soon!

@@ExLibrisXR, PHENOMENAL video! Thank you for making this. For one of your future vids, it would be excellent to see the virtual POV move so that you're exactly at the camera at the precise moment that John Daniels clicked the shutter. Perhaps you've already made that video. This will be so amazing to experience in VR.

@@dahawk8574 Thank you! We're very proud of being able to showcase an accurate representation of the Wright Brothers' first flight. We have more on the Wright Brothers coming soon!
