I am very disappointed in this continued pro-Wright Brothers propaganda. The only thing they can be credited for having done first is inventing the -wing warping- method of controlling an aircraft and attaching a gas-powered engine to it. MUCH of the heavier-than-air flight engineering had been done previously by others, and they had many contemporaries that arguably may have flown first. Sam Langley, Gustave Whitehead, and even Otto Lilienthal (if you count gliding as heavier-than-air flight.

yeh the communists managed to restore some more equality then the US managed until now
just have a look at the EU nations, how many presidents/leaders are women and even the EU president is a woman.
the worst bit is when a US person is projecting their cultural stereotypes on Europeans (living in their own US bubble, they have no idea what the outside world has been upto. thinking they lead the world on every front, sikening pompous mindset. hubris and condescendence)

Sorry to be a total geek about this, but at 7: 05 you say -design a Command Module to land on the moon and then take off again-. The Lunar Module landed on the moon. The Command Module orbited it. (Just ask Micheal Collins, the guy you don't remember from Apollo 11)

Space science paved the way for space travel which is our method to be able to get out from our cradle, EARTH. It is supported by big science. with its goals, can humans successfully live in space if not travel between planets? How safe is outer space for humans?

The moon rocket program may not have been named after the god of war, but the mars rockets were (at least according to Andy Weir.
Also, anyone else find it ironic that Apollo is god of the sun but that's what is used for moon rockets?

A crash course series about space exploration would be wonderful. I would really like to be able to live what must have been an uplifting moment when man landed on the moon via the Thought Bubble.
Congratulations on the shows

7: 01 - The Command Module was never designed to land on the Moon.
That was the job of the Lunar Module. Strange that nearly 200 comments in, I have not seen anyone point out that glaring error.
But overall, nicely done.

How come you guys from U. S. never recognize Santos Dumont's effort for the creation of the air plane? It's from everyone's understanding (except U. S) that he came up with a functional plane before the Wrights brothers.

The breakthrough innovation that the Wright brothers made was to use an aluminum engine to power the aeroplane. For the first time, there was an engine light enough not to overcome the lifting power of the wings.

Hey, quick question about your animation of the moon flag, wasn't there a secondary horizontal bar perpendicular to the flagpole holding up the top of the flag? So it couldn't wave like that
