 There are people I am live Hello 10 people that have joined me thus far. All right Welcome everybody who's watching this either live or watching it archived because it will eventually be archived If you miss anything or want to watch it again for some odd reason I am continuing my build of the Lego Saturn 5 so to recap. We've done this We've done the first stage. I took two of the fins off just so I can lie it flat Without breaking it, but we've got the got the first stage done I this is still my favorite little detail is just how rad the engines look from the from the inside And we are working on the second stage So here's the second stage. This is how much we have built so far not a whole lot So today, I think we're gonna be starting with the skin on this and then hopefully maybe attaching it to the Upper or the first stage which is gonna be a little bit tough mainly because hey everyone I don't really know where I'm gonna store it in my house And also I want to point out you guys all commented that one of these is on upside down the other day. I fixed it I fixed it. Okay, so we're gonna we're gonna work on that so Those of you who are just joining Welcome This is the manual and it is very long and we were roughly about here. We are looking for bag eight We're on bag eight of 12. So we have passed the halfway point I want to thank you guys for coming to hang out with me. Will I do this? Because that it would be kind of fun to entertain to share this with you guys because I know this kid has been Ridiculously hard to get a hold of those. You can missed my first episode on this I actually wasn't unable to get one myself and Chris donated one to the cause. So thanks again So yeah, that's it is tough to find and I wanted to Share this with you guys so that you can all kind of see what it looks like Okay, let's get the eggs eight and nine out because we're gonna do we're gonna do it multiples for sure Pete I don't know where Pete is so Pete is my cat Those of you who are new to vintage space Pete is my cat Pete likes to wake up and chew things like plastic So he'll eventually probably make an appearance It'll happen, but in the meantime Bag eight, let's get this party started As you guys know, I'm not super organized because I don't exactly have like I'm gonna try to tilt this down ever so slightly There comes Pete So that you guys can actually see what I'm doing. I might have to move it even further or like physically sit up on the chair Okay There's Pete. Okay, let's get this organized. Let's get this organized It's always easier to get organized once you're going for some reason which like defeats the purpose of preparing a but Okay So you guys still can't see the table. That's what the most awkward part of this is is trying to get it Hi Pete Here comes Pete. Okay. There we go Okay, so this is Pete. This is Pete Conrad the kitten who is going to sit on the instructions He's gonna sit on it. What is it with cats knowing exactly there's his butt Knowing exactly what it is that you're trying to get done so that they can stop you from doing it. Okay. Oh I still can't quite get your face out of it. No Come on, babe. I'm just gonna close the box and he can't get his face in it He's the best It's the best around I don't know the song. Um, okay, starting with this Pete you're standing directly on the no, dude Isn't this isn't this what the internet is made for guys just cats. I can't even there he is hi Karate kid. Yeah, I haven't seen karate kid actually, but I have seen the the episode of Bob's burgers where they sing that song and like the naked olympics montage. Oh careful, babe So that's my reference for it. I've always got weird like half references for tv things Um, because most of my references come from like the simpsons, which is hugely referential. Don't no stop stop Getting stop. He's there's too much stuff up here. He's gonna like He's gonna lose it for anyone saying that this build has been taking me too long to be clear I'm not building this on my own right Uh Okay, um, I'm not building this on my own. I uh, I'm exclusively building this live Um on youtube for you guys. So it's not that it's taking me this long. It's that it's um It's that I'm I'm only I'm not doing anything else with it Okay, we built one of these Um Only one of these Weird. Okay, dude. Don't sit on it. Don't sit on it Be unlike fonsi and don't sit on it. Um Okay, this goes here. This goes on one of the red bits here Now I've got that karate kit song in my head Something's happens. Ah, hang on. I need my yellow. So there we go. Okay Hang on. I can do this when the parts wiggle. It's awkward So there I put this thing. Oops, sorry put this thing on here. Um Okay, so we are still building Nobly bits So this is a knobbly bit and the thin bit goes in here That's step 182 Okay, that's that What is happening right now? What do you think Pete? Are you actually going to help this time? A little hat. Okay Okay Wait, did I do that wrong? No, it goes this way Goes this way and then This way Okay goes this way and then we put a long tube Oh my god, this is so finicky How am I I'm have to do multiple of these don't I? Obviously that's what's gonna happen. Con start it Diagnab it Okay Can you just like pick a little spot and sit he's I mean he's supervising but in like I think he's like the cat equivalent of micro managing I just saw fish bulb go by which is one of my all-time favorite simpsons references I call people fish bulb all the time like what are you talking about? I'm like, yeah, there's your answer fish bulb um, okay, so basically what we're doing is Creating a long knobbly bit of white stuff um To go down the side of it. So that's gonna run. I assume it's gonna run Parallel so this they're along with this thing Okay, so riveting, okay Riveting internet content One two three Oh wait Two three oh four of these Wait one two one two three four Okay, so on this one. Okay, wait Geez seriously Okay, and then put one of these bits on the end Oh, I guess I should line all these lines up. It's got little grooves on the back. I assume I should line that up Okay, so there's that and then we stick one of these on the Back of it like so Okay, then we have one of these long ones and One of these are also the shorter ones and we Nope, I think I did something wrong there Yep, okay, hang on. I did something wrong So this goes up here. So this is sorry guys I always have to concentrate before I get back into like the groove of building lego on the internet um I should pull up the thing again and see what questions you guys have been asking me beforehand um Riveting riveting internet. Okay, so we made this thing kind of pivots a bit sort of um Should I do that right? I did that right. Yeah. Okay. I did that right. All right. So then we take one of the dark Oh, wait. Nope It's two of these quabits And put them on the top of this white stack We're gonna take them as they're lined up properly. Okay, and then we take one of the small blue bits and cross it over this way Good. Okay that Okay, now we're gonna put some junk on this bit um Who's this? um I probably shouldn't bite that Okay, so two of these little black hooky claws Uh books shipping books shipping. I have been traveling. Okay. I can answer that question while I look for parts. That's easy um So books shipping I have books. They're um, I've I've been away is the real problem I've been home for like three days long enough to do laundry and pack for the next trip So I've been I just haven't had time to sit down and actually go through orders So they're going to be shipping very soon and by very soon. I mean this week actually tonight I'm going to sit down. I finally have time to sit down and write my um, my thank you cards for patreon patrons um as well as my um Send out book orders. I've got a few outstanding. I have to I'm redoing my shop right now. I'm relaunching the shop Okay, so we did that No, yep. Yep, and then Then there's another ankle bit. So I'm going to do that tonight and get book order shipped So once I get those sorted and get the new shop online up and running everything will be back Back up and available and stuff, but it's really just I have not been home long enough to actually I have not been home long enough to do anything Um, which is why you guys may have noticed there wasn't a regular episode of vintage space last week I did not have time to do it before I went to san francisco for a week for seeker So, um, that's I yeah, I didn't have time to do it over the weekend either Um second camera over the table guys. It's my house. I don't have that kind of setup um Doing this I'm trying to tilt this down so you guys can actually like kind of see it So we did this we did this and it's definitely gonna now tell me to do another one, isn't it? No We take this bit What is this? Oh, it's 100 percent going to be another one No, it's not that one. Um Ah One of these okay So, yeah, that's why books have not shipped yet, but they will be shipping very very soon They'll be shipping this week and everything will be back to normal Um, I will have time to actually do an episode of vintage space Tomorrow, I'm going to shoot a bunch of stuff. So I'll have videos Ready again. I'm sorry guys. It's been really really rough. My schedule has been unrelenting recently and I'm exhausted because of it So when I get home and I haven't what is going on here when I have been away for, you know, the better part of a month Um, and also have other work that I have to do here and stuff It's just it's tough to keep things kind of together. So I've been kind of forced to take a bit of a break Um, but I'm getting I've got I'm here for like Oh my god, he's like three whole weeks. It's the longest I've been home I can't remember the last time I was home for more than a week at a time. So, um I'm seeing yeah break the bags into different containers guys. I'm not that we're guys The longest I've ever been home period. I mean like, you know, when I was a kid You know home for months and months at a time. Um No sense life. Okay. This is step 194. Take one of these. I love these. Okay. Um, take 194 Building or building another to be bit so you guys can kind of see here's where the to be bit went. Um Okay, there's that and then the long bit Longest I've been home. I mean before The last couple years Um, can I do a split screen? No, I can't so I'm actually streaming this on my phone as you could tell because Streaming on your phone is so much easier. Um So that's that's why I'm doing it the way that I am and uh Yeah Where's the other two? Okay, there we go two Okay, I saw who takes care of Pete the cat Uh, Pete Pete is pretty self-reliant. I mean, I take care of him, but uh, no when I'm away Pete's pretty good at being self-sustaining. He just kind of hangs out. I believe he's an he's an only cat um He's an only cat so I just leave him enough food and water that he'll be fine on his own Um and because he's not in competition with any other cats to make sure that he gets food before they do or something Um, he doesn't overeat when he's on his own So he's actually really good about it Which is great because I'm away all the time and he's pretty chill. He just like when I get home He has to like sit on me. He just like sleeps on my face. Uh, it's cute. It's fun. Okay. One two three. Okay, good um Take one of the long long gray bits. Yes this one yep Okay, and then stack a blue one on top of it. Um, I saw a question earlier go by I'm trying to watch some of the questions come in, but uh, it's kind of tough to keep track of everything. Um It goes like this Where's so now we're getting into all the pieces to have writing on them the united states Um, so I'm gonna separate those out. So these are the states Oh, wow The detail on this is actually pretty fun. So united. This is the one this is what we need right now. Um, United have I seen the Saturn 5 at the Kennedy Center? Yes, I have that was actually The first Saturn 5 I ever saw in person and it was absolutely insane. Um, I've talked about it before But if you guys ever do you have a chance to go out there and see it It's absolutely astounding like they do such a beautiful job of putting that one together Um, is it like this? Yes. Um, where's the black hat? They they take you through the um There it is They take you through the launch of Apollo 8 and then open the exhibit onto the business end of the Saturn 5 Which would be this? Um, and it's just it's just beautifully displayed. It's really quite astounding. It's pretty awesome So if you guys are ever in In the area near Florida near Kennedy, um, for whatever reason, I would highly recommend Taking the time to go it doesn't it's not very far. I mean you go to the visitor center and you get on a bus That takes you out there. It's pretty easy and it's pretty awesome. So Yeah, I would I would highly recommend it. Okay. Did I do this right? Yeah, okay. Okay. So there this this is Coming together. We're getting a nice little, uh Okay, now we're gonna put states on there Okay, united um And then one long flat white piece So I can't quite do this facing the camera because it's easier to see what i'm doing if i'm looking at it and then Smaller white piece. There we go. Okay. That's one side done There's so many pieces to build this up to be the right level. It's just like couldn't we just make it a piece, but no 1,969 pieces guys 1969. Um I saw something about visiting Neil Armstrong Something at Whopper Caneta. So that's either go to Ohio or go to the Armstrong Center Um, I haven't I've been to neither I'm actually dying to go to Ohio purely because of the aviation history and the space history that's out there Um, because I hear there's not that much more Um to Ohio necessarily, but um, yeah, I am dying to go one of these days. I will get there. So that'll be that'll be good. Okay um What? I love these instructions the one that's like Slide the brown bit towards the yellow bit like Is that going under it? It's not this is not the uh Uh mildly confused what I guess it does go like that. Okay, and then we put another one of these on top of it That's odd. Why didn't they just put it together like that museum of the air force? Yeah, I hear the museum the Air Force Museum out there in in um, Ohio was actually quite stunning that um, and the Cosmosphere in Kansas are very high on my list. I'm actually going to Place the brown bit. Uh, yes, I got it. I got there Um, I'm going to the Kansas Cosmosphere for an event that I can't remember what it is off the top of my head Um, I tend to book these things. Hi new viewer from Kansas Um, I tend to book these things so far in advance that I forget what they are and people like people will see like Oh, I saw your name on a list for this thing. I'm like cool. What am I doing? Um, so my my calendar is just a a bit of a mess Oh golly. Okay. Where's the seriously a single little white piece like that? Okay Okay That I see Pete's talking me out of the corner of my eye Um, there's that Oh another little white hooky bit And then the long white bit. Okay That and then Black hooky bit I know these things have names But I like hooky bit Um black hooky bit Black flat bit Black hooky bit. Oh, no wrong way. There we go. And then a little a little ski jump I'm gonna call this one if I can find it Where's the little nope, that's a hooky bit Hmm This is like my biggest fear with this thing guys that I will not uh I Will not have that'll be missing a piece. It only happened to me once with Ikea Oh, wait. Okay. No, wait. We're good. We're good. We're good. Here it is. Okay A little white ramp looks like that um So I did see a question a bit ago about my what my favorite planet is um I'd say guesses in the comments, but I can't follow along with the comments enough um, I I Interesting. Okay. Uh venus venus is my favorite planet. I am so fascinated by venus um I've talked about it a little bit before and any of you guys who've actually met me or seen me give some of my My talks about sort of like the origin story talks. Um, I Like fell in love with space when I discovered started really looking into venus. Um, because I didn't really know anything. I was seven I didn't really know a whole lot about different planets and how much variety was out there and then I learned about venus and I was like, oh my god, this is so neat and then Wait, did I do that wrong? I did that wrong. I was paying attention. I was talking. Um It was just, you know venus is so different But you can see it in the sky without a telescope like to my seven Oh, darn it to my seven year old brain. That was like the coolest thing ever. Um And I just became fascinated with kind of understanding the planets and The variety that we have in our own backyard and like it's just all so so cool to me Um, so venus was sort of like my gateway planet as it were I just fell in love and I was just so fascinated by it. Okay. We made this thing Um any lectures on the west coast anytime soon? No, um my last I was at uh This isn't really west coast, but I was at Denver Comic Con a couple weeks ago and uh, that's the closest I Have come to a west coast tour as of late. Um, no, I don't do a lot of the gateway planet I like that. I mean it's better. I mean I'm like gateway planet is better than gateway drug for me. So, um I made that okay United. All right Um, yeah, I don't have any speaking engagements lined up anytime soon But um, I do post to my website regularly about what I am doing and where I'm gonna be So if you are curious, uh, it's just my full name. Um, amyshearititle.com that is the best place to find info On where I am going to be How do these two things go together? Oh wait Okay, how could the earth be a triangle? Okay I know I'm getting better at this, but I'm not getting better at like talking to myself on the internet While doing it that's the challenge. That's the challenge. Okay Putting this and snappy snap. Oh golly. I'll do this facing you guys sort of maybe Maybe Oh gosh Hey, why isn't this going the bottom one? Wait. Nope. I want this line up line up. Come on. Come on. I believe in you piece of plastic Do I did I miss one? No, there we go. Uh, okay We're getting there. So now we're putting Uh doing this up here for decoration um And we've got states down here There we go patriotic so patriotic, um, okay So one of these one of these this is the most like Yeah finicky build. All right, I'm gonna put this on top Dinosaur alert. I like dinosaur. Um, it is a challenge to do lego and keep talking It's awkward, especially because Pete keeps looking at me like I'm crazy um Yeah The consequence would have been if russia had gotten to the first would be even at mars already Big question um, I think the consequence Maybe okay, so the question was sorry. I muttered that because I was reading trying to read so from my end I don't know what it looks like from your guys's end, but um The chat scrolls pretty quickly and I don't really have a way of uh Stopping it that I know of also. I'm you know trying to do this whole build thing um, so I did just see the question fly by of whether I what I think um Might have been the repercussions or they the kind of fall out if um the soviets had gotten to the moon first Would we be at mars by now? So I think That's a huge question because it's it There's a lot of speculation about it mainly because The question behind it to me is whether or not the soviets were anywhere near getting to the moon when The u.s. Landed um and the answer to that is no um I'm so glad you guys are entertained by this um answer to that is no, but uh Just the knobbly bit But uh, so let's just pretend that they were let's just pretend that like that technology Uh Wait two of these Two of these. Oh, okay. Gotta redo that again. Okay. Um I think it might have just been a point of like american nationalism and pride to How do I do this? Oh, yeah this way. Um To sort of say well, we've developed all this technology We shouldn't put it to waste now Of course the problem with apollo is that it was custom built and purpose built for the moon. You can't Uh, don't don't believe the movie capricorn one, which is a uh, I want to say it was 1979 I think was 10 years after apollo. Um Capricorn one is a sci-fi movie. It's actually like it's a fun one. I kind of like it is like bad space. Um, but uh It's oj simpsons in it and I can't remember any of the other actors who are in it but uh He and the two other guys are on a crew that lands on mars and they're faking the mars landing Which started lending so much like nuttiness to the moon landing hoax theories in the 70s. Um And then this bit, okay that uh Yeah, it turned out that like To fake it properly the astronauts couldn't come home like the fake version died So they had to actually kill the crew so the the crew ends up having to like escape through the desert Um, it's not bad movie. It's kind of fun. But um, yeah, so Let me make sure this is lined up properly. Okay There we go. I see how this is going to be a pain already to uh Merge mates with the first stage. Um Um So, yeah Capricorn one sees them landing on mars fake landing on mars, obviously um In a lunar module, which of course Wouldn't work the lunar module would not be able to withstand Landing on mars. It would burn up in the atmosphere. So don't believe capricorn one. Um had the soviets Got into the moon before the united states. It's unlikely that You know, we would have been able to repurpose that tech To go to the moon or go to mars um And whether or not it would have been fiscally responsible at the time to cat hair and everything um to then You know scrap apollo or repurpose what we had done built by that point um, whatever state it was in and uh You know repurpose that for mars whether that would have been a responsible approach. Um, so, yeah It might had they landed early enough depending on when apollo like what point in its development apollo was At what point development apollo was that's the correct grammar. Um, it's possible But I still think relatively unlikely. Um Yeah, that's like a that's a fun thought experiment But it also you've got to take into consideration kind of the time frame of the soviet lunar program Which is actually something that I am working on for you guys for vintage space again traveling no time um Two of these, okay So when you when you look at where the soviet program was the soviets didn't really get full funding and kind of a full support behind their lunar program Until oh, I need two united I only have one united Is that right am I missing a united? No, oh shoot Hmm That's not right I might be missing a piece Okay, let's cross that bridge when we get there. Um This yeah, soviets didn't get full funding into their lunar program until far later I mean apollo was you know all all gung-ho the u.s Was going for it beginning in 61 like That happened. Um, but the soviet program didn't actually get full support behind its oh, there it is. I found it um Behind its lunar program until about 64 or 65 and by then the u.s program was quite a bit further ahead Which is why when you know, we talk about the race It's debatable how how much really was a race versus um America just having Put the the energy in early enough to kind of take the lead early on whether the soviets ever had a chance Um, you know, it's possible. There's all I mean, there's this is like the most speculative thing in the world Like let's be clear guys. Um, this is just because I have been researching and starting this for like The better part of my adult life like well over 10 15 years now. Oh my god. Um Oof, why won't this go? Um Okay, so let's so let's pretend that the soviets did have the technology developed early enough in its program to Viably, sorry. I'll do this in front of you guys to viably make it to the moon within the 1960s before the end of the decade um It's possible if they were keeping pace with Apollo That it would have been if the Apollo one fire had happened Or not not that that disaster but an equivalent disaster, right? There were obviously issues with the block one spacecraft. Um Let's say that nas had pushed ahead with orbital um I am having issues with this attachment point the middle one right there. It goes actually that one first apparently um There we go um Yeah, so if if nasa had had an early disaster on an apollo flight that hadn't happened on the ground Where they were able to actually take the spacecraft apart and figure out what had gone wrong um You know, it's it's possible that nasa would have had could have had a disaster in space And that would have been Miss something That would have been far far far more damaging. Um To the agency and that might have been the thing that would kind of cinch it for the russians, right or the the soviets um If they had had that disaster happen if both both um if both uh Countries had equivalent technology and then one was hit with the disaster that was um Like that level of devastating In space and seriously set them back then that might have been what had cinched it We finished bag nine bag eight while I was am ring. Okay, so now it looks like this. Um The british and commonwealth efforts in space. Okay, so it looks like oh shoot Hang on hang on peace down peace down Ah Okay, what just fell is anything else? Hmm What where did that come from? Concern it. I don't even know where this just came off of Does anyone see it if you saw it shadowed out in the oh wait, it's right here See this is going to be the disaster. Okay So it's looking like this so I'm pretty sure we're going to be building out Sides now. Okay, so we are on to bag nine Okay, let's do it. That's scary not a scary amount of stuff. Um British and calm. Okay, so I saw a question pop up. Oh, we're building that we are building the skin. Um, so I'm gonna separate these real quick So we've got some of the we've got a bunch of these long bits and then we've got a bunch of these Curved bits. So this is what makes the skin. Um So I'm just gonna separate these out because we have to make so many of these just so it'll be a little bit easier Especially because I think Pete's napping. I'm amazed. He doesn't want to be up here more But this is just going to make my life a lot easier if I do a quick little Separate at the main parts. Um, so the British and commonwealth space programs Um, oh someone just said dinosaur maroon 1969 I'll talk about that in a second because I do own that one as well Um, I don't actually know a whole lot about the version commonwealth programs Just be five or two of sort of the stuff that I've been focusing on in my own work. Um I I uh I think the most I've kind of looked into the British programs and I can't remember actually if I've read this And blogs about it or not. Um is a operation backfire, which was the British Program to reverse engineer and understand the v2 right after the war. So, um, fun brown Went with the americans and people like there was a whole other whack of the the rocket scientists including welter dorm burger who was Fun brown boss They went with the british to reverse engineer The v2, but dorm burger was actually never Participated in that he was tried for war crimes Um in london and was sent to a prisoner of war camp for two years and I want to say it was in wales I think it was in wales off the top of my head. Um So, yeah, that's the most I've done is really is that and that's just because In my book talks about it and I've really had to um I had to get into that little bit of the history to kind of place Fun brown and dorm burger as not in the same place at the end of the war And have them both come into the united states separately. Um, because that's how The history worked. So it was interesting to kind of go into that. Okay. We're taking one of these Okay, we're gonna do we're gonna do uh four at the same time Let me try to I'm just gonna try to Put more stuff behind here so that you guys can actually see the table Okay, this is like the most awkward I can sit. Okay. Hi. Okay. Um, so I don't know too too much about the british and commonwealth Vintage space cadet club Um, I don't know too too much about the commonwealth programs british programs beyond that It is something that I do want to get into. Um, eventually again time But um, yeah, so I also saw A question about marooned We're not a question, but a comment a bit marooned marooned is another great sci-fi movie from 69 I think he went in 69. Um, because this was a little space trivia for you The so it's about a crew that goes up. I forget the name of their space station. If anyone knows it, um, Please say it in the comments. I can't remember um He remember exactly what it was called That's gonna bug me now. It starts to see it wasn't capricorn. Maybe it was capricorn anyways, um It was three three guys go up in a Apollo command service module to a space station kind of like a predecessor to space Skylab and uh, they get stuck up there their spacecraft has some malfunction. I can't remember the details, but um They they are marooned as the name for the movie would say and um It ends up being this really interesting like rescue thing Um, which was a huge issue was like how to rescue astronauts from a space station That became a thing that nessa really had to deal with Um, and the the commander of the mission in that movie is named gym and I think the movie came out like right before Apollo 13 flew and there is um The story I think it might have been in uh lost moon slash Apollo 13 the book gym level core wrote with uh, Jeff Kluger, who's an amazing writer everyone If you haven't read that book go read it That she saw that movie and had nightmares because it was an astronaut named gym being stuck in space and not coming home So there is I mean spoiler alert spoiler alert. Um There is this really interesting sequence where they use a dinosaur type Vehicle to try to recover the crew and there's I think this is the movie where there's a hurricane or a cyclone or something it's not always a boss, but um They have to launch through the eye of the storm in a one-man dinosaur and I don't think they end up making I think gym has to Sacrifice himself for his crew and it is like a really creepy, but really awesome movie And just really neat in terms of yeah, that's right Just okay, so it's the sides starting to look like this. Um, it's a very interesting. It's an interesting movie It's a fun one. It's one of those ones that's like takes takes real science as the jumping off point Which is my favorite way to de sci-fi and then kind of goes nuts But it's far more successful at the real science jumping into crazy than movies like Apollo 18 Show show of hands not that you guys I can see but Who's seen Apollo 18? It's terrible in like the best way Apollo 18 came out. I want to say that five years ago It was billed as like found footage of Apollo of a lost Apollo mission that was supposedly a joint Uh, it was an American mission to the moon to that never came back because they for whatever reason so the government was covering it up and uh Yeah, no one knew that that mission even flew because Because everyone on the space coast just missed the Saturn five watching that day somehow through magic. Um and uh Yeah, we follow and also like the whole movie is done like found footage through like the Hasselblad film It actually looks really beautiful. Um, it's very very much like Apollo style But um, somehow even though the crew never came back We have their footage Little plot hole there, but um, it turns out spoiler alert that the uh, if you if you haven't seen it You're dying to I think I think the statue of limitations on spoiling movies has to end Within five years, but uh spoiler alert Uh, the moon is basically made of spiders that turn into rocks rocks that turn into spiders And then infect the astronauts blood and they find a soviet Lander up there. It is just it's insane. It's like it's like this movie that starts In fun land and then ends up in crazy town. So that's fun Okay, so we're building these so we can start to see How the curvature it actually when you look at the whole thing the curvature of it is really beautifully done. Um Okay, so that's it. This is the rock spiders That movie is I watched it not too long ago with a bunch of my jpl friends who come over for movie nights Um And it's that was a fun one to watch where everyone's just like, all right We're all people who have you know work in We do that, right? Yeah who work in space or have worked in space and these are you know friends of mine Who have driven cars on mars and stuff like oh, this is just so many levels of bad that it's so good Um, so yeah, it's it's a fun one. I would recommend it with your Well, I threw the thing on the floor again Hang on hang on peace down peace down Oh Okay, so we've got these bits And we're gonna stick them onto these bits So we're starting to see How this thing is coming together Okay, what other good space movies? Okay, so now we're gonna start putting to just Yep, okay. All right, hang on. I gotta focus for half Yeah So it's I need to make sure that I'm getting the pattern right on this one so that I don't have to take it apart and do it again Because that would be annoying. There's so many of the white bits interstellar. That's a that's a See, I did it wrong Interstellar There we go. Okay interstellar Not the best movie Interstellar i'm not a huge matthew mccan hay fan. Um I also was not a fan of the bookshelf dimension So that movie was kind of fun and I kind of like I thought was was interesting until the bookshelf dimension And then it was like no, um That's kind of where it lost me And in fact, so many people told me to watch that movie but just stop watching it before in the last 40 minutes Just to avoid the bookshelf dimension thing. Um, I think before that it was kind of interesting and pretty fun But uh, that's where it lost me Totally lost me. Okay Okay Um gravity is the other one that people always mention. Um, fun again didn't totally love it Uh, beautiful though Beautifully shot movie, uh that that much of it. I did really like so that was fun. Um The martian Watching all the things trying to go by um Okay I like the martian the martian was fun. I thought the book was far better I think I feel like I talked about this last time. I was Building things. I'm also trying to like somewhat stay in frame, but also make it so you guys can sort of see what I'm doing um The martian was fun. I I mean, I love Matt Damon. I think he's great I thought I was great in that it could have dealt with like without all the other people um, I Almost saw like he was so good It could oh 16. Okay. It could have just been like cast away comma mars edition and uh, I do Eight of these um and just let it be like his narrative. Um, the book is is I think more interesting It kind of gets into more of the uh of the science behind it and sort of how he really Figured stuff out one two three four Five six, sorry, I can count Seven and eight So yeah, I would recommend the book the book is really fun. It kind of goes into all that. Uh, the right stuff classic Such a such a good movie. I love the right stuff Apollo 13 will always be my favorite, but the right stuff will always be the very very close second Um, that movie is just brilliant. I just love it. Okay, so here's how the panels are starting to look Nice and smooth. They give it the rocket a really really beautiful, uh Yeah, they give it a bet A really gorgeous like nice soft feel Okay, two three four, this is fun, isn't it? Um Seven eight, okay, and Watching comments trying to see any other good questions from the earth of the moon. Yes Um, okay, so I saw that and I saw Kerbal space program um From the earth of the moon. Yes, that series is awesome Um, and I think it's what's so interesting about it is that it takes a very different way of looking at Apollo like it's not just here's all the missions here's the hero stories Like it goes through the media it goes through all the other like the wives it starts to tell the other stories um in a really interesting way it kind of takes one element of Apollo and And really explores that through one mission, which I think is a really nice way to do it and also I Like I love episode. I think it's episode five spider Um about the building the lunar module and it really gives you a sense of the engineering that went into it And like how much that even though there's no, you know, we don't really think about the lunar module As a vehicle necessarily separately or the people that build it like we think of astronauts but that episode makes the astronauts just like So secondary to these engineers who put their heart and soul into building this vehicle that would be left on the moon surface And smashed into it. I mean, it's it's beautiful And uh, I've got friends who in their engineering degrees had to watch that as required viewing because it really Highlights the human element of it. Um, and that I thought was pretty interesting. So Definitely worth watching. Um, it's HBO. I don't know if it's so Geez, tell me I didn't drop one of these Do I have enough? Yeah, okay. Um, no, I'm missing two of them Well, that's annoying. I'm rolling from the bag We might have a hole in the side of the rocket for a bit until I figure out Oh Oh, I see what I did. Nope. We're good. We're good There we go, okay I put white pieces on where I should have black ones on and now I have my two extra white pieces. Okay All right, so we've got these Is what they look like And now we are going to put them on the stage Very very good explanation Okay Just gotta figure out how they line up Oh, no, that's gotta go down. So I gotta focus on making sure I'm getting these in the right like levels because if they're off That's gonna be so annoying Okay, two not quite there it is. All right. I love that snapping sound Uh, October sky is a great movie um That is such a good movie That movie is about uh, Homer Hickam who did actually become a NASA engineer But sort of his being inspired by Sputnik to build model rockets. We did it Some of the black ones in the wrong place It looks like the picture. Oh, you're right Okay, I might fix this one later so that you guys don't have to watch it. Um Is it am I gonna be able to do that without taking this all off? Let me let me find out. Oh, I'm gonna fix that one later They're upside down. Come on go. There we go. Yeah. Okay, they go this way Hang on. Okay. And then this one is the other one that's backwards. We're fixing it astronaut wipes club I know I see people saying they tried to tell me things earlier guys. There's so many things Flying by the screen right now. I can't actually keep track of it. Um, so sorry if I miss something I'm not not paying attention. I'm just not able to follow We step up the build There we go Okay Okay, we got this We're good How's that? Are we all happy? Okay, that's bag nine. Oh my god. We're on bag 10 I don't even our hour though. We might have to finish this up We might be able to do one more bag today and then I have I have to go But then we could probably finish it in only one more build Huh, there seems to be a lot happening in bag 10 Kerbal space program that is Every time there are 12 bags. So this is the the third to last. All right, hang on. Hang on. Um Third to last bag Okay, um Kerbal I play Kerbal form of Scott Manley. Hello. I'm Scott Manley who I haven't spoken to in a couple weeks Oh, I oh scottie me now. Um Scott Manley builds Well, I discussed the history of what we're building because I Suck at Kerbal and I just don't play video games. So and I'm okay with that I've accepted that so yeah, it's easier for me to work with someone someone who Has actually like knows how to play the game and can do it right and make that more interesting Then for you guys to watch me like just suck Um, I'm not good at Kerbal and I'm okay with that So, oh wait, is it the dark one? No, it's the light ones. Okay So we're just gonna separate these into we've got another thing obviously everything in this is in fours. Um So just separating this into our groups of four So you can make sure we're getting it right into Two, three, two, three, four What is that? Oh a little knobbley bit Nobley bit two three four And The other ones okay one two three four. Okay. What's this? Okay, this looks like it's gonna be hinge-tastic. Okay, so we take this We put this on it there we go and then This one yeah, and then This one and then This thing And then two of these. Okay, that was tough. That was needlessly difficult. Um, so we're building This little nugget Of rocket bit Okay How did we do that? Um One Help if I actually put them together correctly. Okay this way This way This way This way Oh, wait. No, these are Oh, yeah, okay. We're good. We're good. I got it. Let's start with this this I saw another question, but then I forgot it Uh, Kerbal I'll do more Kerbal when Scott and I have time to do more Kerbal. How's that for an answer? Uh, were lunar modules all the same or were they updated? Uh, good question. So I don't know the details of um, like mission specific details off the top of my head. Um, the most obvious addition so Oh Um The most obvious addition is that some of them the later ones 15 through 17 had a lunar rover stored in one of the The empty bays in the descent stage, which once I actually get to building that I'll be able to show you what the descent where the descent stages were and where the extra bays were. Um So that's one one thing, but um They you also the other thing we kind of have to remember how does this work? Okay, ooh Oh, come on Are you serious? Ah, shoot Did that just interrupt my feed? That's super annoying. Um So can you guys kind of see there's like these little attachment points like all the way in there? Um This is gonna be I don't know how to They have to click in and I can't okay, so Sorry about that interruption guys. I got a call. I thought that this would override um That but apparently it didn't so I will have to just cancel it if it happens again. Apologies um and That's super annoying because that's gonna break up. That's gonna break up the archive version Concern it. Okay, so we filled in uh some of the holes we're gonna fill in these ones now. Um This here and we'll put okay, so we're gonna do this again. We're just gonna put out four Of the things we need Little knobbly bits where's the knobbly bits? One, two, three We've got little benches I mean, if someone just said if I would like to collab with items avid about spacesuits Um, I mean not sure what exactly about spacesuits, but like why not? I totally love to um You guys I I keep seeing things you guys are like you should work at these people. So Yeah, it's not it's not. I don't you know actually have a role at x of all these people So, uh, I can find I can I can work on finding ways to certain people but it's you know I gotta figure who actually know Mostly I just know now we're building the other side of this So we just have to make sure that it's in the right Orientation so that it's not so that it snaps in super easily and doesn't get lost. Okay So this is basically the mirror image of what we just did on the other side um This and then two of these So that's what we're doing just this little thing right in here. Um It's gonna follow directions very very closely Uh Good good. We're almost there It's really like the finicky bits at the top here that are painful to build. Um These things are less so I mean, there's still like really finicky little bits Um, did they ever do eva to get stuff from the service module? I saw that pop up real quick I don't know if there was um If there was more to that question if there was I apologize But I'll answer the part that I saw. Um, yes, they did actually on apollos 15 16 17 there were a deep space eva done by the command module pilot To retrieve film canisters from the sim bay, which was on the service module um So it was al warden Ken maddingly and Oh my gosh, Ron Evans. Now he was 14 Who did it on 17? Oh, this is gonna bug me. Why can't I remember that off the top of my head? That's so annoying No, what's Ron Evans wasn't it Ron Evans on 17? Oh my god. I have to look this up. This is driving me crazy. Um So they they recovered these simbays. I actually have videos on on my facebook page Um of that those deep space evas and actually I don't want to get up and get it but I have a signed picture from al warden of him. It was evans Yes. Okay. Good. I'm not nuts He was at mitchell on 14 on evans. Okay. Good. I'm not crazy So I do actually have a signed picture of al warden. It's basically like al warden's butt um on uh Doing that deep space eva on 15. It's like though that footage to me is just crazy because that's what I think like Going to the moon is one thing but like being Uh Sorry trying to But um, I have like doing an eva between the earth and the moon you are You know, if it's on average a quarter million miles to the moon, you're like over a hundred thousand miles from the closest Anything like I just oh, how could you could you look around and just nothing? um Oh, here we go There's just nothing there. There's nothing to see the you know The earth is this big the moon is this big or you know, they're about the same just like that would be nuts to me Nuts and that's when I think about that. I'm just like, oh my god. Oh my god. I can't do it Can't do space. Um, but I love it. I love that stuff. So Yes, three three deep space evas. Um Really really neat really really interesting stuff. Um Okay, now we're just gonna finish out These gaps right here um So just pop these together. So we're just putting this the little like Fence bits onto a flat piece. I just saw someone mention uh moon with sam rockwell That movie's amazing. Okay, if anybody hasn't seen it go watch it like go find a way to watch it And uh, if you are watching it with someone who hasn't seen it don't ruin it that movie You know every once in a while, there's like a book that I read or a movie that I see that I wish I could see for the first time Again, um and moon is definitely one of those. I wish I didn't know the ending so I could see it again and uh And have that moment of like, oh my god, but it is so I want to watch it again Maybe I'll do that tonight that movie is so good and it's one of those things. Um Uh, oh shoot. Oh did I do that wrong? So do you want these wrong? Why do I have five holes? Oh, I know what I did wrong. Okay, we're good. We're good. Um I forgot two pieces last time okay So um, yeah moon that movie is and what's amazing too is that it's uh, it's basically just sam rockwell It's basically just one one person For the duration of the movie and it is compelling. It is captivating. It is so good. Um Strongly strongly strongly recommend it. Okay. So now we got to get Now we have to get these in here Yeah Not totally gonna Fit I don't think is this Wait, really? Oh Is it just me or does that not fit did I miss something? Oh, I did miss something. Didn't I concern it? Okay, hang on. Hang on. I gotta go back and look at something. I think I missed a step um Yep, I missed something. Okay, we're good. I figured it out I missed these Underneath this to get it to be the right distance. Oh, okay Wondering what was going on with that. Okay, that makes more sense now. We're good. We're good Just a bit of backtracking two three Four, okay Okay, so now this will fit Oh now that fits nice and easy Just like the hair color So we're putting that in so now we're getting we're starting to get the uh The tapering towards the third stage I wonder if the lunar module fits in the adapter in this set. I actually have no idea There we go. Okay, so it's starting to look like a rocket Uh, oh, there's like a movie seat bench. Look, it's like a it's like a It's like theater seats There's little two people in it. Not actually but it looks like you can take two people Okay, so we're gonna stick these on the blue bits Let go of myself together Um four, okay, so we've got this And then we've got four more of these round rounded bits And four of these flat bits Okay So we're gonna put our benches up here Be quite the viewing location in a Saturn five, right? Yes, my ac just went on guys It's uh, it's not super loud when I lived in Arizona the ac in that apartment so so loud Um It uh, I actually couldn't put it on when I when I was doing videos um Okay, um, so every time I did a video or a live stream Um, which I was doing the weekly space hangouts with Fraser Cain and the crew at university today at the time I had to have my ac off and anyone who knows about uh Temperatures in phoenix. It was so bloody hot. Um, it was just obscene. I mean it was like 115 was not abnormal for Midsummer and it was just like, you know this little apartment Terrible ac not even like, you know a unit In the main room that didn't totally cool the bedroom. It was just it was ridiculous There it is Um, so yeah, those were some really frustrating live streams kind of count of not and the of course the ac unit um Was right above the table. That was my desk So yeah, that was uh, that was fun. Okay, and then we Wait Oh interesting Okay, so that's so we're starting to see How they're starting to curve a little bit And now we're taking more of these So we've got this is like the favorite is the little blue pieces and then two of these Curved black pieces over top To give you the curvature of the rocket. Um, I'm not from New Brunswick. I am from I'm from Canada though I am from Toronto. Um, and I don't think I've ever been out to New Brunswick. Come to think of it Been to no scotia a bunch. I used to live out there for undergrad Uh, oh, soviet lunacod. So I did see a question about soviet moon rovers Soviet rovers. I do have some soviet rovers stuff coming out in the next couple weeks. Um Do you want this right? I don't know this way. Okay Um, the soviet lunacod rovers I got a video on them that i'm gonna If you guys want to if you guys search lunacod in my channel, you'll find it if it exists If not, it might only be a um An article that I should definitely turn into a video Look, it's uh, we're going towards the uh, I know this is so intricate, eh? Um The lunacod rovers were pretty pretty impressive pretty amazing. Um, and just like a great example of like soviet brute force Um Of just like we want to go drive on the moon. So just go drive on the moon They like drove it to craters and like didn't really take as much care as as the uh, the americans did with rovers Um, really really interesting and they got a lot of neat stuff done and really beautiful pictures I love that stuff. So that'll if I haven't done a video on that that'll come up soon because I know I've written an article about it I have this whole like Massive we're putting the engines together the j2 engines there. Um I have this massive group of articles that I've written that I haven't ever turned into videos because I wasn't doing youtube at the time And I really gotta remember that these are things that are worth a revisit because they're so cool Um, I've done all the work might as well make a video of it, eh? So that'll happen. Okay So we're putting the engines together. They're starting to look like that. Hi from germany I need to go back to germany. I like germany. It was fun. I haven't spent a lot of time out there, but I love germany It's beautiful. Um Okay That and then we've got All right, there's our little engines They're cute Northern ireland. I love ireland. I spent it. I spent like two summers out in ireland. Um beautiful beautiful country You guys are from everywhere. That's awesome. Oh, hi, canada. Hi, hungary dresden. Oh my god Oh Awesome so many places. I want to go. It's so cool that you guys come or are So many interesting spots so many places everywhere in brazil and sweden um Yeah, awesome Thanks for coming to say hi guys finland. I've always wanted to go to finland too These days one of these days I will just travel the world somehow. Okay We've got our Second stage engines done our second stage is done Okay, and now we have to connect it to the first stage I'm nervous I'm nervous okay I'm gonna stick this on the chair here so you guys can kind of see it So this is how it's gonna work. We've got those little red bits have have like hooks sticking up on them And then these things have little knobbly bars that the hooks are gonna grab onto so This is not how stages were mated Um, but I think there's a video in how stages were mated. They were explosive bolts so they could separate with staging Uh, this thankfully does not have explosive parts, but um, oh my god. This is terrifying Oh my god. I got one. I got oh shoot Hang on. I'm dislodging all the uh I'm dislodging all these upper pieces right now Hang on. I popped one off There we go. Okay. Let's try this again Ready Okay, all of these top bits are just like snapping right off every time I put any pressure on them Oh shoot I broke one of the top bits off Oh shoot There we go. Hang on Hang on there wait. No Okay, one of the benches fell off on the inside and I cannot get it back on with all the stuff in All right There it is. Nope. I dropped it. Oh, this is so annoying. Come on. You gotta be kidding me Uh, nope. Nope There it is. Okay. Okay, and snap. Okay. We're good. We're good. All right Okay, so should this go in super easily? I feel like it's still a fair bit of force. Okay, that one's lined up I mean Oh my god This is okay Uh This is I'm not having any luck with this right now Huh It's gotta go straight on. I know it's going it's going straight on. I just feel like the force of me pushing on it is not helping Okay For a single time I must be hitting it at a slight angle. Okay Okay, I'm trying to do this for you guys to see it, but I think I just gotta I think I just gotta stand up Okay Let's see if I can make this happen Okay, that one's lined up that one's lined up That one's lined up. Ah, seriously This piece just fell off again What do you guys think should there not be a ton of force to get this thing together? Who two of the fins I took two of the fins off because I'm lying it down on my on my table right now to store it. Um It needs a firm push. Okay. See the firm push is the bit that's making me a little bit nervous because I feel like If it's not Come on. Well, you know what at least if these pieces off I can see what I'm doing. We got two Seriously, all four of these pieces just fell off, but it's together Well, this is convenient. I can show you guys the inside Um, okay, I did it and you can see where they're attached now Um, that's so funny that all four of these pieces just fell off when I pushed it down Um, so that's a thing that happened, but now it's together. I'm just gonna I'm gonna stick these back on here. I was like this now. Oh Oh my god, does that not want to go now? Come on. Don't be a jerk Wait, I think I uh, I might have to Take a step back and figure out why Why these are not going on smoothly Okay I'm gonna look at this Not live on the internet It's clearly a poly 13. Okay, so Yeah, I gotta figure out why those four pieces just popped off at the same time I'm gonna go do that But I'm not I know so I think I I think I have a piece on backwards and that's what's doing it So I'm gonna go look at that not live on the internet Um And then I gotta go But we'll be able to finish this. I think we've only got two more bags So I'm gonna do one final build. Uh, this week this week is busy. So probably next Monday probably around the same time Um, we'll start around one pacific time because that's the time zone I'm in and that's the time zone That makes sense for me to plan my scheduling. Okay, so um Thank you guys for joining me for this hour and a half live stream that got caught in the middle I'm really sorry. That's super annoying. Um, I don't know if I can fix that I might download both of them and put them back up archived in one go Um, but thank you guys for sticking around and for um asking some pretty good questions about space and mostly about movies today um So there will be an episode another episode of vintage space coming up Uh this week I'm going to shoot some stuff tomorrow and then we'll be back to more regular schedule Um, so that's fun If you guys do want to see more of my kind of daily stuff The best place to find me is uh twitter and instagram, uh, a st vintage space on both of those Um, of course the blog is at discover magazine. It's uh, Annoyingly long url to say it's uh blogs at discover magazine.com slash vintage space. Um This is the lego saturn five kit. No promotion. I I was gifted this by a lovely fan chris Thank you again, even though it's just making me look ridiculous on the internet Um, and of course if you guys do you want to help me uh continue making good vintage space content? I do have a patreon um that you can donate to um if you want to become a moderator on the channel That's a way to do it. Um, so check that out. There's links for all that stuff in the description below Um, so that's it. I will leave it at that for now and I'm going to figure out why this is not snapping together Um, and hopefully I will have fixed it Yeah, christ you're not torturing me. I saw that go by um, I will have fixed it before the next build and then we will um We'll have one more session and be done Yay, then I'll have an awesome new saturn five to have in the background And I'm gonna compare it to the old one that is super broken. Um in the last one to show you guys How much of a bigger this thing is um, and I will tweet a picture and put a picture on instagram once I've Figured this out. Um, okay Thanks so much for coming and hanging out guys really appreciate it as always and um, of course leave me questions Comments anything you'd like to see covered in future episodes in the comment section below Um, and I will be seeing you guys next time. Okay. Bye
