I Swam at NASA's NBL to Observe a Spacesuit Test - It was AMAZING - Smarter Every Day 296
Added 2024-03-31 14:15:10 +0000 UTCHappy Easter Everyone! He is Risen! The opportunity to observe this government spacesuit test was incredible. I hope you enjoy the video. I decided that this one was special enough that it warranted a longer video. We get VERY detailed in this one and go into the science of how everything works. I hope you love it! This was an absolutely awesome experience.
Thank you so much for supporting on Patreon! It makes the decision to make a video like this a very easy one. I'm grateful for you!

What an awesome video!

2024-11-20 03:43:42 +0000 UTCLiked the tid-bit about the swimsuit spinners at the end. The pool at the military and community sports centre has one too. (we aren't allowed to use it for drying off combat uniforms for aquatic combatives class though, it apparently wears out the engine too quickly)

2024-10-11 04:01:44 +0000 UTCcute little figures instead of cgi. Love it!

2024-05-14 18:30:38 +0000 UTCSuper interesting, thank you! I'd really like to know the result of the test though! What difference did the higher suit pressure make? Was Jessica right with her guess at the end?

2024-04-23 04:43:23 +0000 UTCNeed to report something to Destin. How do I make contact?

2024-04-09 22:55:08 +0000 UTCThis video is one for the ages, and amazingly it will only become more relevant into the future... Really inspiring for up and coming, as well as existing Engineers!

2024-04-05 05:27:53 +0000 UTCJust got my stickers in the mail. I cannot say how much I LOVE the Kodak film canister 😭
Jonathan Boring
2024-04-04 02:13:17 +0000 UTCI got my stickers today. Love them. Thanks for this video. I am not an engineer but what an experience and so fun to see everything my tax dollars go to fund the space program.

2024-04-03 02:57:48 +0000 UTCawesome! I guess I just needed a tad more patience! I'm excited I'll be able to add this sticker to my collection!

2024-04-02 18:28:30 +0000 UTCStickers received in today's mail here in SC.

2024-04-02 18:27:15 +0000 UTCI just heard from Mary Kate yesterday that, as of Friday (March 29), all of the stickers have been shipped for US patrons.
Jeff Steiner
2024-04-02 17:42:52 +0000 UTCCan't wait to watch this video! Side Question: does anyone know if stickers have been sent out for this year? I just don't know if mine got lost in the mail, but I'm looking forward to putting them on my laptop!

2024-04-02 15:34:55 +0000 UTCNot finished all of the video yet but I just want to thank you for these awesome longform videos, I love all of them! Keep doing what you're doing :)

2024-04-01 19:46:37 +0000 UTCBrilliant Destin. A special video indeed!
John Cox
2024-04-01 15:15:39 +0000 UTCSuch a great video, Destin! I really appreciate how you treat experts in your videos. You stay humble and show genuine excitement about their work, allowing them to share their passion. Thanks for being a great example and an inspiration for aspiring engineers like myself!

2024-04-01 08:07:00 +0000 UTCWell done, so interesting. Thank you.

2024-03-31 22:30:01 +0000 UTCOh wow I've never thought of doing that! That totally would change the CG.

2024-03-31 21:20:48 +0000 UTCAmazing job Destin and everyone at Smarter Everyday! So insightful and in depth. I hope that all your 'past tense' of your astronaut candidate applications doesn't mean you're done applying (I can't think of anyone who would be a more awesome astronaut), but I know you're at peace with God's plan either way, so whatever the future may hold, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we are just so grateful to have you here doing this amazing work and giving us incredible insight into the world of science, engineering and just plain awesome stuff. You said it best when you say "this is not a normal video on the internet"...way better!

2024-03-31 17:35:06 +0000 UTCNow I see where those figures on that carpet board or whatever you call it come in. Neat

Samuel Doak
2024-03-31 16:35:21 +0000 UTCSeeing how much care they take in making the CG and CB the same was really interesting. I would love to hear from someone who has experienced the "real thing" how accurate the feeling it really is. I would think that something as minor as moving your arms or legs in and out will have detectable differences in the CB, and probably CG as well. I wonder if it is impactful to their experience. I know as a pilot, I had a friend who was also a pilot slide his seat forward and back an inch or so at a time, and watch me struggle to figure out why I couldn't get a stable pitch trim.. It took me a good amount of time before I caught him making the adjustment after which we laughed about him messing with me. It was amazing how much an inch movement of a seat in a 1500# aircraft was able to make! I would think even moving an arm in or out could cause the same in this simulation.

2024-03-31 16:27:17 +0000 UTCWow, what an in depth video, this was so amazing to watch! I especially found the part about calculating the CB and CG of the astronauts interesting because we do a similar thing for boats (but want the CG lower than CB in order to maintain stability). Happy Easter!

2024-03-31 15:06:12 +0000 UTCThat place is pretty amazing. I did my BOSIT course there. They passed a mask around while we were waiting in line for training, and it was incredible watching them work. Pictures and videos of the ISS are one thing. Seeing the replica up close is something else.
