I'm a huge fan of Chesley Bonestell's art. But to compare that and Von Braun's Sci-Fi imaginings to what we were able to acheive with Apollo, and call it :"almost a joke", is an insult to all those people who worked on Apollo, inventing the technology along the way. While there's been a big gap between the last Apollo moon mission and current attempts to return to the moon, the technology STILL doesn't exist on almost every level to come close to those early visions. I would suggest that you consider editing your voiceover script to give the Apollo program and it's builders the credit they are due.
Excellent episode and brilliant analysis.
Excellent, thanks.
I think that your guesstimation of what our successes in space would be if we hadn't wasted money on military competition is more than a bit optimistic. We would have done a lot better if research/discovery was the primary motive, but likely not to the point of having landed on Mars. Mars is hard. At best we would get to Mars sometime late in the 21st century (this assumes that getting all the astronauts back alive was a high priority).
In a competitive political environment where extensive long-term funding for large projects (except for the military) is almost impossible with a 4-year election horizon the driver to get to the moon was the overriding cold war competition.
In George Pal's movie Destination Moon, the US government is unwilling to fund a moon program, it being too expensive. It falls to private industry and an Elon Musk industrial magnate to put together an industrial consortium to make it happen. In a foreshadowing of future development, stainless steel is selected for the nuclear-powered rocket to protect it from heat of re-entry, among other notable details. Their rocket even has fins (flaps). I would say that now that competition has returned, along with private industry and China's ambitions for a permanent moon base and plans for copies of Space X reusable rockets for their future program.
His plans were so on the surface, with no details. It's not enough to think that we could have reached Mars already.
You can dream of the Death Star, it still does not mean that it can be made.
As always very interesting. Much appreciated.
On Apple-TV there's a whole alternate history series depicting the idea of a space-race which never slowed down nor ended.
It's called "For all Mankind"
Yessssssssssss
A joke? that's harsh.
Rockets are cool
At about 57 seconds in...what is that thing between the crater and the foreground astronaut? It looks like a dog with a stick in it's mouth and an antenna for a tail!
WOOF WOOF!
It looks like a six-legged walking robot, to me. Possibly a Lunar rover designed for rougher terrain than the Apollo moonbuggy. Mind you, a robot dog on the Moon could also be called a Lunar Rover.
@@princecharon It sounds like Boston Dynamics might owe some credit Wernher von Braun.
Six legs sounds like a Fallout thing...also sounds like credit goes von Braun...Rad...Robo...Roach? I think that's called a vaporizer.
Definitely one of those robot dogs!
I love your video until you started talking about Elon Musk like he's a god
Ditto. There is no economic basis for SpaceX going to Mars. Elon can say anything he wants, but even he doesn't have the money to sustain the "vision".
$$$ Elon said himself how easy it is to get people to give him publicity
He's a paid fan boy.
Or expecting to get some sort of payment from Elon
You must have taken a wrong turn to get to this video. All he did was praise Elon Musk for his visions and for doing something about it. All his videos praise visionaries. Not sure how that can be misconstrued as gods.
