You might as well throw your f*cking computer just straight out thru the window and never come back to youtube.

These kind of challenges push the humankind to invent more and more stuff to make our lives much more easier and comfortable.

If yo uhave that little of respect for science just do the humankind of favor and take a full metal jacket up your head twat!

JEEZ I hate people like this too much, sorry for the offensive rant (NOT!).

Well, excluding apollo 14-17, he wasn't too far off with that quote. I wonder how long it will be before private spaceflight reaches the moon?

That's correct- Yuri Gargarin (or however you spell his name) was the 1st man in space courtesy of Sergei Korelov who was the Russian's chief rocket engineer until the early 60's (I think) when he died of a heart attack. Gargarin died sonn after in a plane crash.

Interesting to compare this to other posts. The audio here of the actual dialog has been cleaned

up PERFECTLY......this is the majesty and genius of a class operation like National Geographic. Perfection is the MINIMUM standard. Fuck. I wish the people who do National Geographic were running the country.

I was under the impression that Russia was the 1st country to place someone into space. The U.S. raced to place someone on the moon because, at the time, it was a swinging dick contest and we could not be perceived as being behind the USSR in anything. I also believe the fact that most all of Germany's scientists and engineers were allowed to defect to the U.S.,in exchange for them working for us, played a HUGE roll in our space program.They were the pioneers in rocketry long before we were.
