Imagine the face when you overcook your 1800$ spaghetti.
they dont cook it so that would never happen
@@adamkatt r/wooosh
when you 10000$ fruit is not good
Most astronauts are often in their 40s or 50s so they prolly don't care
When you ask for a Granny Smith and NASA spends a used car’s worth of money to send you a Red Delicious instead
“thermostabilization”
or as we Earthlings call it, cooking
Nice
Or pasteurization
I thought it was just a microwave oven.
I'm pretty sure they also used to call it irradiated food
Edit-but they don't now because it sounded like your food was radioactive
I love the ice cream part. It's so wholesome, especially when you consider that someone on earth had the brilliant idea to put this otherwise empty freezer to good use to give a nice surprise to the astronauts
It was pretty neat because it was Blue Bell Ice Cream, which is made in Texas.
Space ice cream was never used
@@aureavita8653 what are you talking about?
@@alanthebulwark That one speaks of the infamous freeze-dried "Astronaut Icecream" you could order from the back of old comics and the like. It was pretty much just freeze-dried icecream, but was utterly panned early in testing and never did see a flight. Whirlpool'd been contracted to make the stuff, and they'd made a bunch of it, and so started selling it to the public in the gift shops and by mail order by buying ad space in the backs of comic books and the like. It became a popular enough novelty/tradition that to this day it's still sold by mail order and in science museums and NASA visitor center gift shops, sometimes alongside other freeze-dried foods. You can also get it from camping stores like REI.
Well you can buy that plenty of places in Houston. I'm talking about actual Blue Bell ice cream.
Imagine playing CS:GO on the ISS
"Dude your ping is so high what are you in space or something?"
Astronaut: "Uh"
and then just responding with, "bruh my space internet is prolly faster than your earth internet"
iuvenis animo but I get 300MB...
Playing Rocket League in orbit would be kind of meta. lol But that ping....
The time it takes light to travel from the ground to the ISS at ~350km is only 1 milisecond. Your internet is not slow because of the distance. It is slow (laggy/ delay not bandwidth) because of the processing done to your traffic and the prioritization of other traffic that your packets have to contend with.
If you had a fiber optic cable from your house on one side of the equator (that was filled with a vacuum instead of glass, big difference) and sent a message around the equator to the other side of the planet, it would take 65 miliseconds to travel the ~20,037.5km
Data processing equipment is horribly slow. There are companies that are developing computing devices that use light to passively compute and process data, versus waiting for 1+ trillion transistors to flip around before the signal is sent back out.
I rounded from 1.02 feet/ns to 1ft/ns to simplify the answer. It depends on whether light goes through glass, air, vacuum, water vapor, etc.
When astronauts t-bag you in CS:GO, does their junk flop like it is in zero gravity?
9:59 NASA:"Well the astronauts are stressed let's show them a movie about a SPACE DISASTER!"
From what I've heard about that movie's accuracy. I think it would be more like a "Oh look, they got this wrong," sort of game. But IDK.
Even worse,they let them watch "The Last jedi"
Kyle Matlock exactly
@@shadowpod13 they laugh when they watch Star-trek and Star Wars because of inaccuracies
few things as good for morale as a good joke. Bonus points for placing a rubbing alcohol wipe under your tongue
I don't think there could be many things worse than experiencing food poisoning while in zero gravity
@Hamim Mahatab Oh god that sounds like one hell of a nightmare
I once got an intercostal muscle strain while suffering from bronchitis. It was brutal...
These replies have showed me that I have never truly experienced pain
I agree.
@@NoNo-xh7ru same here. the worst i have had is getting somewhat close to dieing a few times.
_oh wait..._
(disclaimer: it didn't actually hurt much.)
"ISS crashes back to Earth when astronaut attempts to eat Nature's Valley granola bar and crumbs jam all of the electronics"
Wendover Valley
...
Sounds like something out of the Onion lol.
Penis infection.
Clearly they should dehydrate the astronauts as well. They are like 80% water. Pretty wasteful if you ask me.
They should also dehydrate H2O, it's 100% water - so 100% weight wasting
Instant water, just add water!
Let's hope ryanair doesn't hear about this
Megamind had that idea way back in 2010.
Paul Lammers BOOOOOOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂
When the internet on the ISS is 6 times faster than your home
@iuvenis animo They have 300 megabits per second. 8 megabits is one megabyte. If you had 100th of that you'd have 3mbps which is .375 megabytes (or 375 kbps). No way your speed is that slow. You wouldn't be able to watch CZcams.
@@DoomFinger511 I'm sorry sir I live in America I dont know where you source your information
@@DoomFinger511 that's about how fast my internet is lol
I get 5mb per second, ISS internet is god tier internet for me
@@DoomFinger511 I have Annex A speed (3450 kbit) and i can beautifully watch youtube at 356 Kb/s.
10:01 Watching Gravity on the ISS. LOL
It's like a trucker playing truck simulator in a gas station
That is funny. Especially considering Hollywood does a much more believable job faking space and space travel!
Relax, they all know the premise is BS because they all know at least some orbital mechanics.
I have a farmer friend that plays farm sim whenever she can x)
@@redshop1234 believable? No, just more exciting to the masses. The movie Gravity cost more than actually going into space.
For anyone curious: at 9:52 the astronaut is recording his weight (ok, technically mass). The heavier the astronaut, the slower the machine bounces up and down.
thanks for clarifying
where can I buy that scale?
@Kj_mast_er this made me laugh irl
Since his weight in space is smaller because of gravity, normal scales would show the mass lower than it is
@@gamermapper that's not how it works. there is no weight in space because there is no gravity to create that weight therefore that machine is generating a pull similar to earths gravity
You like apples?
Well these cost $10,000!
How do you like them apples?!
"How much could a banana cost, ten dollars?"
Erm, more like ten thousand....
Apple overpriced as always
Hungry for apples?
So you're saying an apple cost more than a stand, that's suprising.
May be its packed by apple, the phone and computer company
NASA: *Spents like $600 on a tortilla*
Astronaut: *puts jelly on it*
NASA: excuse me wat the fuk
“Only get 300mbps download speed”
Mate in Australia we get 12mbps on a good day
You gotta get that 100Gbit fiber m8, then you gotta hook your computer to the switch with Infiniband 600Gbit m8.
And it only takes 1ms for a signal to get from the earth to the ISS, same time back. Bet you don't have 1ms ping to your ISPs router thats in the cabinet down the street.
@Major Mayhem you have a live stream still going from May 10, 2018 at 1:00PM m8
Im with Optus. . . . . . .i celebrate being able to watch an entire youtube video without it pixelating, buffering or just freezing. Optus, we do one thing badly, consistently.
In a polish Village if internet works
Its a miracle
Dany Fairuzy well it’s in space sooo
There's still tribal humans living primitive lives in the jungles, disconnected from hundreds of years of the species' progress.
Then there's humans floating around in space, making science, eating ice cream and video calling their families (while in space).
idk i just find that interesting to think about.. the contrast; the perspective
interesting indeed...man, you made me really think about this and i ended up writing sth on similar perspective. Internet does wonders sometimes haha;)
How do you make science?
@@5ynthet1c by pooping
For some reason, I got really happy for them when they got the ice cream 😄
The image at 10:08 is one of my favorite pictures ever taken. It's literally a picture of real astronauts, actually in space, watching Star Wars, and eating their snacks.
What makes it more special is that I have a partial connection to one of the objects in that image. In the center of the frame you can see a metal storage cabinet. That cabinet was designed and signed by people that went to the same high school as me, and then manufactured at the NASA Glenn research facility, partially by someone that I went to high school with. The signature of one of my friends from high school is actually on the ISS, and is on the back side of an object featured in one of my favorite pictures ever taken. Incredible.
I like the photo of an astronaut reading 2001: A Space Odyssey aboard the ISS.
At 10:05, Gravity must feel like a horror film on orbit.
They probably made fun of the movie for the full length of it. :)
@@conhopper78 To a degree it is a horror movie to them, in real life they do orbital burns to avoid the space junk, and they will need to act fast if part of the station suddenly depressurized. Even in rare cases the mission control would ask them to hide in the Soyez life boat when NASA noticed something too late to aviod. To them the movie is exaggerated, but a very realistic threat
Lol more like a comedy really. I mean, visuals were great, but the orbital mechanics were ridiculous 😆
Maybe they cut out all the space crashes, like how they cut out plane crashes from movies shown on planes?
I imagine it's the same as an IT guy watching a movie about getting hacked or a surgeon watching a movie about an operation that goes wrong and losing the patient. Usually it's more fun than scary.
4:30 Wendover predicting future of smartphone pricing
See you in the year 2025 or 2030 to see if your right XD.
Hahahaha underrated comment.
Mai bhi Deshbhakt
damn that was a stab :D with 2000-3000$ existing these days (that aren't even special-gold-diamond editions or anything) you wonder how much they'll continue rising...
Just yesterday I watched a ISS resupply launch by Northrop Grumman at Wallops space center in Virginia. It was the coolest sound I have ever heard.
Sam Antoniak must have been NG-10 or NG-11. Wish I could have seen it
I was lucky enough to witness the last three Space Shuttle launches and the rumble of the engines thundering through you was such an amazing experience. It was like being an earthquake. If you have any more opportunities to witness other rocket launches, they are spectacular.
Its good to see we are taking such good care of our astronauts. US or otherwise. Anyone who is able to make this great journey into space is worth their weight in gold and should be treated properly so it makes me happy seeing them get fun treats and movie night, etc.
That so cool! I never knew any of this information, what an awesomely informative video. I'm so fascinated! I must learn more.... Cheers!
I can recommend Scott Manley and Everyday Astronaut as great sources for informative videos about the ISS and general space stuff. Also the /r/spacex and /r/space subreddits on reddit are full of enthusiasts.
Way to go buddy, it took us three days to get that potato salad...
THREE DAYS
That's a reference to something.

@@recruit8921 Thx!
Three Days Grace
2:20 Holy shit that day is today!
wow this thing is really expired!
3:09 I'm just imagining a nasa agent just going to the store with a shopping list
Amazing video, Sam! A more traditional wendover productions video I would say. No non-sense, just well researched and often odd facts. And of course space travel^^ Big LIKE!!
No planes though. A little surprised.
@@paco4756 Ain't ISS just a giant floating plane if we stretch out the definition?
It's just a plane in vaccum (spacecraft) as opposed to in atmosphere (aircraft)
He tricked us.
Imagine getting to see a movie before it leaves theaters, but its The Last Jedi... 🤭
It was a psychological test. Since nobody of the astronauts had killed themselves after watching that clusterduck, I'd say they passed it.
By the way, the ISS is limited to 6 astronauts because of escape pods, not because of room. The pods docked to the station only have 6 seats so any more astronauts couldn't come back down in an emergency. However, the Crew Dragon expands that to 7 if I remember correctly due to its larger capacity.
“How is this related to airplanes?”
It’s like an airport...in space...
11:02 "the ISS is ready for another delivery of *humans* "
FLESH
MEAT
Jez, and I just did my Federal taxes....
And paid for a small crumb of a granola bar to get into space....I hope they enjoyed it.
it's more likely it was spent to kill some brown kids
@@axmoylotl le brown people are so oppressed.
Well NASA’s budget is just 0.5% of the US budget, so probably not lol.

Can we all take a moment to admire how perfect the thumbnail look?
And I thought California was expensive to live in. 🤣
Have you watched his vids about living in the Arctic or the South Pole? Not as bad as space, but still pretty bad.
edit: By "bad" I mean expensive and difficult.
Live in the LA area most of my life. Loved it then, but it’s gotten too much for me. North, or South pole, is, I think, cold. Brrr. I like warm. 😇
It’s a close second my man
Nassau county resident lol
I live iwn
Can we take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail? It's so awesome.
It's so small but thank you so much for putting the music info in the description! Some of the music you use makes for great background music.
The thumbnail needs way more appreciation tbh, it's amazing
this is so interesting. i’d love to hear a video that goes solely into the american options of freeze dried foods and the russian’s canned foods that they send into space. i’m sure both are morale boosters for the wonderful men and women up in space.
Logistics, aircrafts, aviation, spacecrafts and space travel are one of the most interesting topics.. and mixed together like you did in this video is super interesting and fascinating... thanks for the great videos and effort!!
Likey #word 👌😎
No matter how often I look at it, that thumbnail is perfect.
Posted this one to my FB page, my brother worked at the SSPF (Space Station Processing Facility) , a Boeing operation, this is where final assembly before launch was done, I saw Node 1 during a special tour when it was in the high bay prior to launch prep. My brother worked upstairs in logistics where they schedule when stuff enters, a bag of bolts doesn't enter until scheduled to. Also saw shuttle Discovery, she was in a hanger, wheels off, engines out and being processed for a future mission then, huge machine, the belly hatches for fuel were open, you could fit a bowling ball in em, 1000s of gals per sec of fuel go thru those during launch.
This video was AMAZING, thank you !
I love how the internet in literal space is still better than mine.
The quality of your videos has been improving significantly. Great work, Sam!
The logistics of the ISS can't be *_that_* complicated. I mean, come on. It's not rocket sci....
Oh, wait...
Google "peristalsis". No gravity is required for us to swallow
@@harishjain2612 I think you replied to the wrong person, lol.
@@TheREALBOJACK Yes I did. I intended to have an argument on swallowing with some bloke here. Can't find him
Harish Jain but you are correct you can swallow without gravity

Thanks for including all your sources in the description!
I have watched this video probably around 10 times but it's so well made and so interesting i have came back to it every few months. Well done Wendover team
Yes! Make more space videos like this! Very interesting
Know what would be awesome? If First We Feast sent up some hot wings and we had a Hot Ones episode with astronauts.
Munden too much sweat could fuck up the equipment
@@kleist5083 it would be really fucking cool though
The thumbnail is clever, I decoded the barcode, and expected to get rickrolled, but it was just one word: ‘WENDOVER’. Very nice Easter egg
7:16 in October 2014 I made a special trip to just outside Wallop Rocket launch center in Virginia to watch one of those resupply launches. Unfortunately, the first time I was ever going to watch a rocket launch live was one of those failed launches. The rocket exploded just above the launch pad. Thankfully no one was injured.
That must have been the Antares launch failure. My father worked for the company (still does, but it was bought by Northrop-Grumman) and... yeah, that was a spectacular launch failure. I remember watching it with him on his computer from our house.
I saw it in my YT feed, but re-checking the thumbnail between my emails: I have to say: the best thumbnail what i have ever seen!!! And probably will be for a long time. Well designed infopack there on one picture!
I was gonna say, best thumbnail ever
10:11 They watched The Last Jedi? I thought they were supposed to reduce stress, not add stress!!!
what if there is a Star War, men on the Earth's frontier should be ready.
I've never heard of that movie. Just like I never heard of any sequels to The Matrix. And I've definitely never heard of any live action The Last Airbender movie.
44R0Ndin funny how people go through the 5 phases of grief because of these movies. So you are in stage 1 (denial), I personally am in phase 2 (anger), then there are those who try to bargain to make it non-canon and there obviously are depression and acceptance, too.
@@rolandfeussner1892 it's a joke bro haha
They where meant to destroy the stress not join it! Bring balance and science to the ISS, not leave it abandoned!
A logistics video again! 😃😃😃😃
9:54 "NASA puts a good amount of work into movie night." I wonder if the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was made available to the ISS crew during its theatrical run?
I hope not
These videos always make me smile, never stop Sam!
It must be pretty interesting between those 2 different nationalities up there right about now
Kudos to the designer who made the thumbnail image. Fresh take at how it could look like.
Fantastic job on this complex topic Wendover team!
9:59 - I don't know if watching Gravity aboard the ISS is such a good idea.
it can remind them to bring a fire extinguisher with them if they ever go out.
@@donm7906 LOL. I'm guessing for them Gravity was a comedy, since movie scientifically sucks.
It's so mind blowing that we have humans living in Space normally (well apart from their profession of doing countless experiments)
I wonder if they get fast foods too up there, and whether they do or do not do something like vote from there
Chaitanya Singh Not sure about astronauts from other countries, but yes, the American astronauts can vote while they’re up there using an absentee ballot like anyone else.
I love these videos. They are so freaking interesting!
Loved it! Really interesting. Thank you.
This was a fantastic video. Despite my horrendous ADHD, I watched the entire video without stopping. Goof stuff!

Awesome video, some of those numbers are breath-taking, a quarter million bucks for a gallon of water wow...but its definitely a price worth paying, I sometimes think that these NASA bashers would be happier if the entire planet wore goat-skins and practiced "science" with a throw of chicken bones.
nasa isnt as great as ur cheerleading implies
@@ILovePancakes24 I’d rather it go to NASA than the military
NASA's return on investment is way, way higher than anything else humanity has ever done. The more money we give it and the more outlandish the task we give it, the more we will get from it.

Great video and quite accurate info on the network tech 😉
Man, if i ever become an astronaut, can bring my gaming laptop and console along ?
Simple answer: no
Long answer: no, electronics that get sent up have to have extra shielding against radiation due to not having the same level of protection as on the Earth's surface. It'd be likely that they would malfunction
Nah too expensive
Aww damn

So on the iss u can watch CZcams? nice
not really, you'd get ALL the buffering. If you used a youtube downloader app, that would work much better, but you might get your download corrupted by a stray cosmic ray or something like that (it happens, space computers are radiation hardened to try to prevent that as much as possible while still being lightweight).
love Wendover so much!!!!!!!!
This is a good video to present any time someone talks about how 'easy' a moon or mars colony would be, even though they would have the same logistical problems only scaled up.
