Yup. And not only that he was on 2 shuttles flights: he commanded the first ever shuttle flight. No one else could ever be the first. And it had never been test launched: he and Bob Crippen were launched on a while that had never been completely tested. Balls of steel.

@@jeffjeff4477 Hello! Your assessment of his legendary personality is exactly the same as mine. I sincerely thank you for the kind words addressed to Russia, and I, like many Russians, respect the American people. You must have seen space rocket launches more than once, living near Cape Canaveral? That's great! 👍John Glenn and Neil Armstrong went into space from it, who also answered my letters thirty years ago. Their letters and autographed photographs have become our family heirloom. I wish you and your loved ones the best wishes and also hope for PEACE with a capital letter.❤🤝

I fully agree with you in assessing the personality of John Young. In 1981, I served in the border troops of the KGB of the USSR and in the news on TV I saw the landing of STS-1 Columbia, there was no opportunity to watch the launch. I could not imagine that many years would pass and in 1995 John Young would send me an autographed photo of himself in response to my letter. He was a highly decent man and a professional in his field. Eternal memory to him.

John Young is the most underrated astronaut of the program. A brilliant man 👍🏻

Mr. Young was the coolest, "Right Stuff Pilot", you could ask for. You can tell he's a thinking man and very calculated. It was great to hear this interview.

This guy is amazing. What a list of accomplishments.

One of my all time heroes. John was absolutely awesome in every respect.

John Young is really the real deal, He has always been quietly in the background and at the same time at the front of the pack. American Hero forsure

This man personified The Right Stuff

When you hear his last few sentences that the technology required in space will probably ultimately save us on earth, it reinforces what a pivotal human john young was in Nasa. Of all humanity, and when our history is largely forgotten people will remember the handful of fighter pilots that landed on the moon.

“On the moon, it’s difficult to judge distance as there are no telegraph poles up there … yet!” Efficiency of his speech, information, humour and aspiration in a single sentence, classic.

I like the story about the Apollo 16 lift off. The heart rate of one of the other Apollo 16 astronauts at liftoff was like 150/bpm. John's was 70. He said.. "my heart's so old, it won't go any faster" ! He was one cool character under pressure.

Great interviews, Conrad’s and David R. Scott are fantastic

Slightly wrong, there. He flew to the moon twice, but he only landed and walked on it once. It was Apollo 12's Pete Conrad who saved Skylab. What John did was fly the inaugural mission of the Space Shuttle, and then he flew one more Shuttle mission with a full complement of specialists.

John is my number one astronaut hands down. I read his autobiography “Forever Young” a little while back and plan to read it again. The only other book I have worth rereading is “Failure is Not an Option” by Gene Kranz. I have trouble deciding which one I look up to more...

Ehh, he is one of the most special humans ever!!! What a CV!!

Legend.

And 25 years after this interview, we still haven't been back to the moon. At least a manned mission anyways. Looking forward to Artemis ll & lll

In my opinion the single best astronaut. He flew every space vehicle except for Mercury.

John Young may have spoke simply but we’d all be wise to listen to him. Yeager spoke about himself mostly and achieved a single goal while Young speaks of goals and important future projects.

Met John breafly at dedication of Gus's memorial dedication at springmill st Park vary nice guy was glad to see he got a chance to land on moon after his great apollo 10 flight so close about able to reach out and touch it his flight with crippen on st 1 ground breaking couldn't ask for better man to comand first shuttle mission 👍

When all those red lights started flashing, and alarms sounding ... This was the guy you need sitting up front... loved your incredible work sir

Always thought it was wrong that he was replaced as commander for the hubble space telescope deployment flight

Thanks a lot for this channel !

interview in short: what do you do professionally, Mr. Young? I fly to the moon, I repair space stations and in my free time I fly space shuttles ;)

My biggest regret is that I never got to meet John Young. An astronauts astronaut.

I didn't know that he was a big believer in space being key to the long term survival of the human race.

John , unarguably a brilliant man of very much accomplishment, surprised me with his apparent lack of public speaking abilities. He obviously has tremendous knowledge,but just can't seem to get his ideas out in an informative way. This may be why he didn't seem to give a lot of interviews. I certainly mean no disrespect to this admirable man, Chuck Yeager was a bit course in his speech, but they are both amazing people.❤ I must add they were busy getting the job done, not necessarily talking about it.I have always been awed by Buzz Aldrin. Not only a brilliant man but Buzz could talk about it in a way that almost took you with him on the journey.

Why don't you very articulately and with much erudition tell us about all of the nothing that you've done and know

While appreciating very much the recollections and insight of John Young, all the clapboard interruptions were distracting, tedious, and surely unnecessary. Additionally, the 'interviewer' could surely have been improved upon for an oral history series of such historic importance.

Speaking of self importance, what convinced you that you were qualified to judge one of the most accomplished astronauts in history?

John Young *wasn't* an 'astronaut'. there is no such thing as an 'astronaut', there is no such thing as "outer space". there is no need to talk about "outer space" at all to prove that there is no such thing. those who are experts in the heliocentric model like me, know that the heliocentric model is verbal explanations and mathematical equations. the mathematical equations of the heliocentric model are more important than its verbal explanations. once you show that all the equations are false, the entire heliocentric model is null and void, going in the trash. anyone who wants to learn how to disprove the heliocentric model by proving that Newton's second law is a false equation, is welcome to answer me.
