Early U.S. rocket and space launch failures and explosion

[infamousgarrett1]

this reminds me of jeb from kip

[JohnnyMalaria]

What a stupid choice of music. It doesn't fit and makes a mockery of the early NASA program.

The music isn't even USA-related. Pomp and Circumstance is associated with the coronation of Edward VII. It is considered one of the most patriot pieces of music throughout the British Commonwealth and many British people would prefer it to be the National Anthem,

You might as well as used the Horst-Wessel-Lied or Gosudarstvenny Gimn SSSR.

Silence would be have been a more fitting choice.

[baghend]

The early astronauts must have seen these fails- makes you appreciate their bravery knowing what could happen. I imagine the Russian launches were no better. And who know how many they lost but were never reported.

[timothyp873]

1:17 what is the music?

[ashbytimuk]

@timothyp873 A mixture of "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 (Land of Hope and Glory) by Sir Edward Elgar.

[LeRollClan]

5:05!

XKCD has a tongue-in-cheek take on our early rocket program: xkcd dot com/984/

Yep, if you want something done right, put the Nazis in charge...... O_o

[rexza73]

they should have use the money that they have waste for these failure rockets for donation or just give it to me so i can build the most expensive and most powerfull gaming pc EVER !!!!!!!!!!!! LOL XD

[glenclosed]

I wanted to hear all the 'Splosions.

Whether it's failed rocket launces, or Zola's greatest Chelsea goals, I FUCKING HATE WHEN THEY PUT MUSIC ON VIDEOS.

See-ya.

[NecroseWoW]

[SteevyTable]

And back to Flight of the Bumblebee at 4:27?

[SteevyTable]

Ok, why did it switch to Pomp and Circumstance at 3:50?

[mfox002]

mistakes are inevitable

[TheManuja95]

Whats the first music called?

[crashanddie]

@TheManuja95 Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee"

[kieman12]

What was the song on the second rocket

[crashanddie]

@kieman12 Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance Marches" Opus 39 (this specific song being March No 1 in D major)

[USAmilitarypower]

some of that was Russian too

[Azrync]

Whts the music at 0:04 ?

[thatsthenuts101]

You can literally see the money being burnt in all the fireballs

[double00iscool]

This is why people watch Space Shuttle Lift-offs.

[Xdreamer89]

@ 1:00

"HEY?! Who put it in reverse?" xD

[Odilwerk]

Awesine vid with awesome soundtrack.

Good job.

[PivotStarter97]

75 ppl died in tha rocket fails

[declaration963]

After those failed rocket, we succeed bring man to the moon !

[oktupol]

What's the name of the very first track?

[chanctonbury63]

Why do you keep playing Land of Hope and Glory???

[fallingwater]

Any details on the freaky thing at 2:18? It seems like the final stage blasts off on its own leaving the others on the ground... but I can't figure out what the heck that double flame on both the final stage and the one that remains on the ground is... maybe just the fuel combusting? Strange that it just flames like that instead of blowing everything up...

[ronniejoe1953]

Alan Shepard took a hard look at the Mercury Redstone rocket before going to the capsule. Who could blame him!!

[HEADBANGBALLER]

At 4:30 the liftoff is a little shaky but it recovers quite nicely. I thought it may have a chance. No chance.

[airwave089]

1:39 3....2....1.....BOOM!!!!!!

[hoho12rei]

2:34 it looks like a new kind of a rocket!! :)

[Bourougne]

It's one small step for [a] man, one giant boom for our ears.

[brewerbrian420]

2:53 they put the rocket upside down.

[yoyomasta47]

@poultonb I doubt it buddy.

[EDTMG]

I like the background music

[kanashiiryuu]

And the Kerbals said, "Well, now we don't feel so bad."

[wlmason73]

Whoa! 2:18 - 3:08 is awesome. Now THAT"S a launch failure. That's hilarious.

[stellaruniversexmpls]

Atlas C launches at 4:12

[stellaruniversexmpls]

4:12

[poultonb]

I survived the flight at 2:18

[2469jeff]

Music sucks!

[Erik0072]

4:14 controllers couldnt find the gas pedal

[briEsp90]

what's up with the fucking music!!??

[redsilka]

@briEsp90

Pomp Duck and circumstance...look at youtube

[ryannewman4life1]

and this when first in education god image what would happen

[stellaruniversexmpls]

its an explosion

[stellaruniversexmpls]

explosion

[annamaria464]

best fireworks!!!

[chadman1231]

its hard to believe we put people in these things

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

This is hilarious and terrifying at the same time O_o

Anyone know the name of the rocket at 7:04?

[artwleb]

@TrainzMovieTheatre  Juno II..................

[mridgway402]

call me a sick sonofabitch...but i always love the ones that shoot up a little but then fall back down. so.much.destruction.

[KennySC2]

how many of these were manned?

[hqman71]

@KennySC2  None

[TheSpiritof1969]

@KennySC2

None, except the one right at the end which was a successful launch. As far as I know no astronaut has died on a failed rocket launch, certainly no Americans. The Apollo 1 crew died in training. The Russians had a near miss in the 80s when a rocket caught fire on the pad and the launch escape tower fired the two man capsule up to parachute height. Cosmonauts were bruised but OK.

In 1960 up to 150 people were killed when an unmanned rocket blew up on the launch pad in Russia.

[KennySC2]

2:55 lulwut?

[TheSpiritof1969]

What's this? A video about rockets and not a moon hoaxie in sight? People actually being civilised to each other and not calling each other silly names?

[BrendanKearnsMusic]

@TheSpiritof1969 I blame the music... Maybe classical music makes people civilized?

[TheSpiritof1969]

@BrendanKearnsMusic

My music started watching Hendrix at Chislehurst Caves in 1968. Don't know about classical making people civilized, the Nazis did everything to music. The early space years were great years for music, all the best rock, R&b,Reggai and soul came from those heady times. These days I still listen to it ..... yet typing this listening to Andre Boccelli and Sarah Brightman singing Time to say Goodbye. Hmm...

[j0master1]

Um is it me or were half of these rockets actually successful? We want EPIC FAILS in this video, not EPIC WINS.

[Poparotzi]

Happy 4th Of july

[mcluntitch]

@Binky40SW - Interesting and informative, however completely beside the point. Thank you.

[viyark]

oh hi mark.... oh hi danny....oh hi lisa.... what a funny story mark...what a funny story mark.....what a story mark...hahaha....what a story mark...hahaha....my gawd thats retched....my gawd thats retched!

LOLCAT!

[blahethanblah]

Seriously....at 3:50....a wedding theme?....ugh...

[Binky40SW]

@blahethanblah Uhhm, "Pomp and Circumstance" has traditionally been a GRADUATION theme as far back as I can remember, as in "Congratulations, you're finally successful at launching, youy've made it off the ground, welcome to the next step in human development".

[starboomer11]

What a pity... To think that we have all these rocket scientists and even yet we still made rockets that never even made it off the ground.

[mcluntitch]

What are you doing with the music? What does 'Peter and the Wolf' have to do with anything man ... seriously. I couldn't watch this video past 2min.

[OpethNation]

@mcluntitch Hit mute..........................

[Binky40SW]

@mcluntitch I'm guessing you're not 100% familiar with the piece "Flight of the Bumblebee", or how the early rockets, their failures, and erratic flights could be analagous to a bumblebees flight, right?

(Oh, and that patriotic little ditty everyone plays on the Fourth of July over here in the USA *isn't* "Be Kind to Your Web Footed Friends", it's actually "Stars and Stripes Forever", by John Phillip Sousa.

[ElmoTitanWolf]

@bobbyisgay1 GDP is not a fair way to assess a nation's prosperity, especially if the nation is as corrupt and disgustingly capitalist as America. And as for the 'lower debt to GDP ratio', where did you get that information, because all the data I've seen says otherwise?

[viyark]

are there actually people in those rockets ?

[kirza94]

@viyark no, they were only for sateillite launches in the 50's/60's

[KartKing4ever]

@viyark There were people in about 5% of them.

[SKarmytech]

2:53

In the control room...

Monitor: "Sir! There's a problem!".

Flight director: "A problem?? What problem!!".

Monitor: "Sir, i think the rocket is upside down!".

Flight director: "That's just great!".

[bbc12377]

the condoms that Chuck Norris donated to Nasa weren't as strong back then...

[bergenstation]

US, a technology robber!

[neciey43]

there goes a lot of money

[whiteboy08091992]

1:48 epic xd

[whiteboy08091992]

1:48 epic xd

[9leterusr1]

awwhhh its purpose was to get into space and it didn't even get past the clouds

[ElmoTitanWolf]

@Redrum2011 You might have better military technology but you do realise that as a result of that, you now have a national debt of over $14,000,000,000,000, of which a large majority is owed to the Middle East, China and Japan. Fail much?

[bobbyisgay1]

@ElmoTitanWolf You do realize that we also have, by far, the largest economy in the world right? And a lower debt to GDP ratio than any other developed nation? Fail much?

[poodlehead92]

Hope those didn't have any people in them! O_O

[AlecBFlores]

I hope they're unmanned.

[Cartoonagent]

epic

[edwinshap1]

well there's ur problem

[ElmoTitanWolf]

@nameclaimed If the U.S. were working on perfection, why have 21 Americans been killed in space-flight or training disasters, and only 7 Russians. Face it, communists are superior and your shitty 'American dream' is a load of crap.

[isthisnickvalid]

2:50 wtf

[CJJRiley]

@HKteeVee hahahah whatever bitch, who got the first thing in space, first animal in space, first man in space, first inter-planitary probe, first planetary lander and first space walk? eh? CCCP!!!! so you and your crappy nation should be the one to suck it. good day.

[nameclaimed]

@CJJRiley Russia was the first to do those things because they were trying to beat America to it. the U.S. was working on perfection, not trying to be the first. youll see that if you research how many russian failures there were

[jannikmt]

the usa nor the rusians invented the roket... germany did =P

[nicpetnic]

@jannikmt

And before that Asia.

[TamaNewb]

I guess 67 people didnt like the music?

[ElmoTitanWolf]

I wish one of the rockets would have crashed into a major american city

[CJJRiley]

hahahahaha stupid yanks.

[Redrum2011]

@CJJRiley Haha and where are you from, oh UK. At least us stupid yanks have the best technology military wise.

[evsystem]

Yes, terrible soundwork. I can't believe this person must have been paid to attempt matching the music to the video.

[madrespex]

That one there has fire coming out from both sides lol and is it floating on the ground?

[HKTeeVee]

I'm guessing (hoping!) nobody was killed?

[CJJRiley]

@HKTeeVee why hope? theyre american.

[HKTeeVee]

@CJJRiley  haha whatever bitch we got to the moon first. suck it.

[phillyvodka666]

1 one huge fail

[numbrum9]

2:14 lightsaber

[Imjetta7]

notice no fins on the rockets, it's amazeing how far we have come :)

[padretrogaming]

what is the name of all music please ?

[fsujci]

I've heard it wasn't until VonBrown or w/e the brilliant Nazi's rocket engineer was forced by the US to work for us that we started to have a lasting program

[sweetdwhite]

@fsujci he wasn't forced he did it by choice he made the decision before the war was even over. He was actually thrown in prison in Germany. Heck he defied direct orders so he could get caught. He also talked about about going to work with Americans to get into space after the war.

[CJamesKing]

The music..is just..perfect..so perfect for this vid.

[617Beegs]

@ 5:12 what are those white orbs?
