    dave while everyone appreciates these videos they ironically seem to have no effect on flat earthers? it's like flat earthers come in here with a preconceived outcome in their head, they aren't going to listen to what you say no matter how many ways you tell them they're wrong about something. in all of these videos i just sort by newest comments and see a ton of flat earthers completely disregarding everything you said and calling you a shill even though it's just science proving them wrong. and ironically they all spout "do your own research" but they deny actual research, and the "research" that they actually want you to do is watching some BS flat earth video with all of their points having been debunked by actual research

Also, the Apollo doors used to open inward, and cabin pressure kept them prisoner when the fire started. Sad it always requires tragedy to fix problems.

    They have no effect because they contain pure, unadulterated garbage created to produce money for the creator. In this video, was it mentioned that Gus Grissom went home the night before this tragedy and said to his wife, " Honey, the CIA were all over the launch pad today, I've never seen them there before." ? This was days after Grissom, as Head astronaut for Apollo, called an impromptu, unofficial press conference in which he produced a model of Apollo with a lemon on top saying it was a hopeless task ? Or did Dave play the recording of Gus asking tower, "how are we going to get to the moon if we can't talk between two buildings"? He had to repeat that because nothing was working. Without watching, I know theses things aren't mentioned. So why bring them up ? Because it puts into perspective, the lengths to which people will go to make money. This is a tragedy and needs to stop. This creator absolutely knows that man has never walked on the moon, but to admit that would cut off his grift. Shame on you Dave, its not what you say most of the time, its what you don't say. Your last video on bubbles should have included the reflection of a scuba diver in the astronaut's face visor and didn't, neither did you mention the Brevard Community and its hearings, I'm sure without watching that you didn't mention any of that or the footage of the bubbles behaving as if underwater.... because it was under water. I cannot wait until your video calling AI fake, when is that one coming ?

    One fun fact is that NASA still uses pure oxygen environment but on its EVA suits. Although for that, pretty much everyone has to have it that way because the high pressure of the suit on a realistic Nitrogen/Oxygen atmosphere would mean the suit becomes too rigid to move. There's also an advantage that came from using pure oxygen environment on Gemini and Apollo and it is that they wouldn't need any conditioning needed prior to a spacewalk because both the cabin and the spacesuit were pure oxygen environments. For the Space Shuttle and now also on the ISS, astronauts needed to spend several hours or even up to half a day purging the nitrogen out of their bodies in order to be able to perform an EVA. This sort of problem becomes quite a pain in the back when it comes to emergency EVAs and the upcoming Artemis Human Landing System already introduces a scheduled pre-breathing period well before the landing occurs in case they need to perform an emergency EVA right after landing. It seems crazy now that they used pure oxygen environments on their cabins but when you look at all of this, it's a no brainer.

    This caused a problem during Voskhod 2. Voskhod was a modified Vostok, and apparently did not have a partial pressure sensor. The crew would breathe oxygen, produce carbon dioxide, which would be sequestered by the scrubber, and the life support system released oxygen to replace the consumed oxygen. Fine and dandy. Until you close a hatch after a spacewalk and can't quite seal it. Then you have a leak, losing oxygen and nitrogen. The life support system replaced that with pure oxygen, so pretty soon they had a dangerously oxygen-rich environment.

    FYI: EVA spacesuits continue to use 100% oxygen (at 4.3 PSI). Before going on an EVA (i.e. spacewalk), the astronauts have to do a "pre-breath" - the current NASA protocol is 2 hours peddling a stationary bike while wearing an oxygen mask. The purpose of the pre-breath is to purge the nitrogen from the astronaut's body (and therefore mitigate the chance of the bends). It's worth noting that Russia has tried using "zero pre-beath" suits; some versions of the Orlan suit have been designed to run at ~6-7 psi, however this is not quite high enough pressure to prevent the bends, so several cosmonauts have suffered the bends while doing spacewalks from the ISS.

    ​@@danielklopp7007 "cosmonauts are trained not to complain, so they are more likely to suffer in silence." This is interesting information and it aligns with psychology and sociology. Russia belongs to countries that have Shame Culture (as oppose to West that has Guilt Culture). It means that people are ashamed for expressing feelings and opinions - and instead in Shame culture - people are taught and disciplined to believe that anything unusual is a personality disorder and any mistake or problem is observed as person's core value of who they are as person: an incompetent loser. Needless to say - such shame mentality leads to organizational chaos which we see in Russia and eastern poor corrupt countries. Shame mentality leads to poverty and distrust in other people. The only exception to this Shame culture after-effect is Japan. In the West - it is mostly southern parts of any country that have shame culture - like mafia-ridden Sicily in Italy or Texas and southern racist countries in USA. Shame is connected to crime and corruption - because people are trained since childhood to foster toxic shame deep inside - believing that they are abnormal and lacking as person - which they cover up through lies and overcompensations. There is simply inability to be truly honest and authentic - and instead building a fake image of narcissism and stoicism is perceived as being honest and authentic. So that is what we have with Putin's country - people who are not honest about mistakes - never can learn from them - and they are stuck in hamster wheel of trying to be better and to compete - while as result always end up as being failure. That is how USSR never succeed in anything - neither economy nor Moon landing - due to this shame culture.

    Excellent video! I followed the space program very closely back then and you are 100% accurate in what you said. Very thorough explanation except for one major reason why Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo required 5 PSI atmosphere. A 15 PSI cabin pressure would require a much heavier structure to handle all that pressure, making the spacecraft too heavy. So if the pressure is only 5 PSI, 100% oxygen is therefore required. The structural limitation led to everything else that you mentioned. The Space Shuttle was designed with a heavier structure around the pressure vessel (crew area) specifically to allow for normal 15 PSI air. It was a tradeoff between payload and safety and comfort. It was also much bigger than earlier spacecraft.

    The continued use of pure oxygen with Apollo also seems to be an example of "if it's not broken, don't fix it" and "let's not make things more complicated than they have to be". Pure oxygen worked, in space, at 5PSI. They had already done plenty of on the ground testing with people in 5PSI pure oxygen, and had practical experience of it during Mercury and Gemini, including for long durations during Gemini. A switch to a mixed system would have thrown in unknows and required extra testing, and possibly caused additional delays. They knew though that the Apollo 1 fire was as a result of atmospheric pressure pure oxygen, and that sort of fire wasn't possible at 5PSI.

I liked how they switched over right at launch to simply start supplying pure O2 from onboard supply instead of the mixed gasses from the launch pad support system. As a former submariner, we watched partial pressure of O2 constantly. But even without the instrument we knew when the partial-pressure was getting low by how well the cigarettes burned. lol Yes, it's all about Dalton's law and partial pressures.

    The big thing to remember is that, when going to the Moon, even with enormous Saturn rockets, the vehicle was horribly mass-limited. Anything that went all the way to lunar orbit took a very large amount of fuel to get there, moreso for things that went to the lunar surface and back. That's why, for example, Grumman was offering big rewards to its workers to come up with ways of reducing LM weights by OUNCES. Not even pounds. Now, add to that the much thicker and stronger pressure vessel walls the Command Module would have needed to maintain sea level pressure against vacuum without leaking somewhere, and all the extra plumbing and tankage needed to maintain a two-gas atmosphere in the vehicle. You now literally have a CSM that a Saturn V can get to the Moon, but not with a fully fueled LM. You'd have had to massively redesign the rocket and the spacecraft to change to a two-gas system in flight. Given the end-of-decade deadline and all of the other redesigns the Block II CSM would have to undergo to achieve it after the Fire, NASA's only option was to move ahead with the one-gas atmosphere in flight, and take as many measures as possible to ameliorate the risk of fire. To be honest, at 5psi of pure oxygen, the fire hazard wasn't nearly as bad as it was during the Block I pad tests, when the vehicle was filled with pure oxygen at at least 2psi above ambient air pressure, so things like replacing flammable nylon with inflammable Beta cloth, and reworking wiring insulation to be non-flammable, made the thing safe enough to fly. And yes, indeed, that one very risky testing regime was changed so that the cabin was oxygen-nitrogen when pressurized above ambient air pressure, but that air was bled out and replaced with pure oxygen as the vehicle rose to orbit.

    On a sidenote, the Russian space program discovered the danger of testing in a high-oxygen chamber at sea level many years before NASA did. On March 23, 1961, just less than three weeks before the first Vostok manned space flight, cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko died in a sudden fire in a high-oxygen isolation chamber. The Soviet Union, however, concealed the accident, and NASA didn't know about until 1986. Anyway, the Apollo 1 high oxygen situation was easily fixed as you say. The astronauts weren't breathing the air in the space capsule at takeoff anyway, so it was just a matter of having a mixed atmosphere at takeoff (which the astronauts didn't breathe) and letting the tanks convert it during the mission.

    Excellent work as always, Dave. It might be useful to mention the EVA suits used on the Space Shuttle and the ISS still use 100% O2 at 5 psi. The soft suits would balloon out if filled to 15 psi. Prior to an EVA, the astronauts must breath pure oxygen for several hours prior to donning the suit to remove nitrogen from their systems and then slowly depressurize in the airlock before they disembark. They also have to re-pressurize when they return, though this doesn't take as long. Since the Apollo modules and suits used the same gas/psi, this step was unnecessary for them.

    @8:32 The Apollo 1 Fire was Jan 27, 1967, not February as stated by you @10:44 The Paragraph states that the LM Atmosphere was Maintained at 5 Psi, with Pure O2. However the LM was launched with Normal Air in it, but the Vent in the Tunnel Hatch was left Open, allowing all the Air to vent to Space. Once the CM had Docked to the LM, a Vent in the CM Tunnel Hatch was opened and O2 from the CM was used to fill the LM. A very simple way to make sure the LM didn't have any gas but O2 in it On Gemini 6, Schirra certainly had Stones, not bailing on the Titan. He certainly Understood the Risks of using the Ejector Seat. I don't think any of the Astros really had much Confidence in the System. No Trials with a Human were ever done using the System. There were Doubts that an Ejection on the Pad would even be survivable Fires also burn differently in Zero G, as Convection, which is needed to take the Hot lighter Products of Combustion away, and supply heavier fresh Oxygen, needs Gravity

    Reality already blew past "Idiocracy" in several instances. For example, consider the absolute worst president the screenwriters could imagine, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. Yeah, he's a simpleton who likes to play macho, but: 1) He cares about the country he's supposed to be running: when a crisis strikes, he actually attempts to solve it 2) He did actual, real work in the past (porn star) 3) When presented with an expert, he recognizes he might not know everything, and puts the expert in charge of the crisis management effort 4) "I thought yo head would be bigger, it looks like a peanut" - he remarks, but does not allow this preconception of how a "smart person" should look like to color his attitude ; He allows the guy to stand or fall based on merit 5) Has actual charisma 6) Doesn't lie about his height or physical condition 7) Speaks in complete sentences and finishes his thoughts 8) Keeps his word, and rights wrongs: when he realizes he unjustly accused the expert of malicious intent, he compensates him for the moral injury and provides the reward he originally promised That is literally the worst person that could be imagined running a dystopian future controlled by idiots. Now consider the real world :P

You can watch a ship go over the horizon, and see it disappear behind the water from the bottom up. When you move to a higher elevation, the hidden part of the sip becomes visible again. This can only be explained by a physical obstacle between the observer and the ship. The only logical candidate for such an obstacle is Earth's curvature. 3.

  • @kerwynbrat5771

    The difference is this in the presence of 100% O2: Acute (meaning immediate) O2 toxicity causes CNS symptoms. Chronic (long term exposure) causes pulmonary symptoms. All of this is based on pressure. The higher the pressure the more "oxygen" you are intaking. All of the pressures and partial pressures that Dave is explaining is the base causation for O2 Toxicity. In medicine we are exquisitely aware of O2 when we are applying 100% O2 especially when done under "high flow" and pressure.

    Very good explanation. You can hear the crew mention that the cabin pressure is relieving during the boost phase of either the S-IC stage or S-II to the capcom during launch. There was also a call-out where they stated that the cabin had settled at 5 psi, shortly after (so the cabin held a pressure of 5 psi well before orbital insertion). This method was also the main reason why the crews had to pre-breathe 100% oxygen, as well as having to wear their spacesuits for launch; they did not wear their spacesuits during re-entry.
