NEW VIDEO sneak peak!!!
Added 2019-02-11 01:13:45 +0000 UTCI forgot to add sources, so the final will have sources in the video, but otherwise this is the final! Also, if you ever have time, it does help a lot to watch the official one (all the way through) when it drops too as a favor to me. It teaches google that the video had a high click through rate and helps make it more suggested! These previews are on a separate channel and can detract from the over all click-through rate of official videos. Not that it matters too much, but it sure helps :) Thank you all!!!

Great video Tim. My Reddit username is Salty_Doug.
2019-02-13 19:11:41 +0000 UTCAnother facepalm could be the russan Mars 96, which was lost due to an unresolved issue (upper stage or probe itself) and reentried into Earth's atmosphere. Initially the calculations of the trajectory resulted on a re-entry over the Pacific, however, further analysis demonstrated that there were witnesses that saw the re-entry. The revision of the calculations showed that it might landed on Chile or Brazil. Nothing was reported to have been found from the Mars 96. Well, the probe carried several hundreds grams of plutonium that were never recovered and they should still be out there.

2019-02-12 07:45:44 +0000 UTCWow, did I just add something to the final content? :O
2019-02-12 01:11:59 +0000 UTCGreat Video - great historic information ... Well Done!
2019-02-12 00:00:21 +0000 UTCMaybe worth mentioning that a lot of Soviet early crafts used ejection seats not only for abortion, but as the final stage of descent!
2019-02-11 09:48:44 +0000 UTCJust great video! And news to me as it seems less thought through as you say, they have to haul the seats for the entire flight. what did they weigh? And could they disarm the seats in space? Cause you don't want to accidentally pull the handle then...

2019-02-11 06:52:03 +0000 UTCThat's when Chamberlin designed Mercury Mark II which became Gemini in December 1961. His preference for ejection seats comes out of the CF-100 and CF-105 programs.
2019-02-11 03:26:30 +0000 UTCWoW, Great short vid! Every single month you give me my moneys worth. My $5 is well used! Thanks!

2019-02-11 02:52:40 +0000 UTCTim is referring to Amy Shira Teitel from Vintage Space. This appears to be the video you're looking for: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWaQ_r3k7BA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWaQ_r3k7BA</a>

2019-02-11 02:33:25 +0000 UTCExcellent!!!
2019-02-11 02:07:40 +0000 UTCWhat happened in 1961 ?? Could you please finish the story ?
2019-02-11 01:47:00 +0000 UTCOff topic suggestion...do you currently have any plans on what to do on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 ??? I think we should have a fan Meetup somewhere (maybe at the cape) on either the anniversary of the launch or the day of the landing !!
2019-02-11 01:44:17 +0000 UTCHey Tim, great video as always !! A couple of suggestions !!! 1) on the thumbnail where it say "biggest facepalms........" You should really add the words 'part 1' also I found it confusing that that thumbnail text didn't match the video title 'why aborting......' for the 1st minute there until you start talking about it being a facepalm I thought you had screwed up the video title or thumbnail text. 2) please provide links to your friend Amy's video on the regalla wing (I know this must be spelt wrong as a search for 'regalla wing' on YouTube didn't give me any valid results and I really couldn't make out her last name when you said it, so I couldn't look her up that way either. Thanks for another great video as always !! Pete W.
2019-02-11 01:40:51 +0000 UTCGlad you mentioned Jim Chamberlin. Next week will be the 60th anniversary of βBlack Friday,β the day the CF-105 Avro Arrow died. Chamberlin was the chief aerodynamicist for this Mach 2-plus fighter. He moved to the Space Task group about six weeks later. His fighter aircraft design background explains why in 1961 he went with ejection seats as opposed to a LES for Gemini. It's explained in Chris Gainors excellent book _Arrows to the Moon_ (2001).
2019-02-11 01:39:44 +0000 UTCAnother great vid, Tim. This serious looks like itβs going to be a lot of fun. Canβt wait for the rest!
2019-02-11 01:36:43 +0000 UTCWell, I think I would recommend not to face palm when your ejection seat fires. I mean you could break your arm too, if it's not already fried. :-O
