NASA | TIROS-1: The Forecast Revolution Begins (50th Anniversary)

[Paperpockets]

What's the piano/violin song towards the middle/end of the video?

[buisyman]

Images recorded on magnetic tape.  Wouldn't that make TIROS-1 the worlds first and most expensive VCR?

@buisyman lol...whahahaha...lol....

NASA experimenting w/ music - interesting!

[noamees]

qasemkhan, your view is extremely biased. Savage Europeans? Muslim's scientific contributions?

The West is a lot more advanced in every way than some Islamic countries together.

[NatureWasFirst]

Is TIROS-1 still in orbit even though not used anymore?

[qasemkhan]

I love the west for their treachery. They try very hard to hide Muslims' contribution to the scientific world. Unbelievable!!! In Every book or Medium they go before Christ and then jump right to Galileo, without mentioning the people (i.e. the Muslims) who really saved the savage Europeans from the church and witch burning. Is this how stupid and dumb they think their own people are?

This is a great overview and reminder, of where we've been and where we are. I was finishing my Junior year in high school when TIROS-1 was launched. It was a monumental achievement then. And look at where it's taken us...

Me asombra ver los grandes avances que se han tenido en los ultimos 50 años de la era espacial.

Excelente video, gracias.

2:34 this photo is fake made as propaganda against the Communist threat. You can see the planet is drawn a circle when other photos of the planet show it's not circle.

@teemuruskeepaa

that is a photo of a storm. How did u possibly get a "communist threat" from this video? Open your eyes before typing nonsense.

[teemuruskeepaa]

@ThisBoyTV How did you in America get a communist threat in the 50'ties anyway? It says at 2:34 that it is the photo of the planet from orbit, not a storm, dude

[ThisBoyTV]

@teemuruskeepaa

you were not around when nearly 2000 Nuclear Bombs were being tested. Air Raid sirens going every day. Those were such fun days..

[teemuruskeepaa]

@ThisBoyTV I bet they were lol

@teemuruskeepaa you said, and I quote, "It says at 2:34 that it is the photo of the planet from orbit, not a storm, dude."

Duh? Yes, it's photo of the planet, taken from orbit, showing TWO huge circulations, eg storms, demonstrating the capabilities of the satellite imagery. What part of this are you failing to understand? Better yet, what part of this is related to the "communist threat"?
