welcome everyone I'm at Kennedy Space
0:04
Center with the Tim tracker and the Gen
0:07
tracker and we are here with the NASA
0:09
logo behind us and look at that rocket
0:11
SL space shuttle up there we are about
0:14
to get a VIP tour on the property which
0:17
I am really super excited about you guys
0:19
ready oh yeah all right join us shall
0:43
it's actually pretty chilly and pretty
0:43
windy today which is kind of uncommon
0:45
for Florida but to take my mind off the
0:48
chilliness take a look at
0:57
these so Chile we have our chocolate
0:57
what did you call it space chocolate
0:59
space chocolate it seems legit yeah I'm
1:02
I'm excited for it it's a galactic Coco
1:05
o you can actually go up inside the
1:07
Gemini spacecraft look at
1:21
States this is pretty cool you can
1:21
actually sit inside of
1:24
here pretty
1:34
it's crazy to think that this rocket
1:34
that I stand in front of was actually
1:36
blasted into the air you can see the
1:38
markings are still the same and there's
1:40
the
1:41
rocket and there's the markings of
1:44
course it's been repainted it
1:46
looks looks a little old and antique in
1:48
that one so it's
1:50
been repainted a little bit but pretty
2:01
cool on July 16th 19 19 69 Neil
2:01
Armstrong Michael Collins and Buzz
2:03
Aldren walked across this very service
2:31
arm here is the Orion multi purpose crew
2:31
vehicle crew vle I just said that just
2:35
said you're repeating me sorry what
2:37
you're looking at is actually
2:39
Legos but this is not your typical Lego
2:42
construction this is actually a
2:44
space vehicle look at this the Mars
2:49
exploration Rover that pretty much beats
2:52
any Lego set I ever own how much you
2:55
think that would cost if you were to buy
2:56
that in the LEGO
2:58
store 100 bucks
3:00
no way more kind of thinking maybe I
3:02
need to purchase this this would look
3:05
pretty sweet on me they yeah look at
3:09
that jacket it's pretty styling I've
3:11
pretty much been to the moon at this
3:12
point are you going to buy that I think
3:14
I might it's pretty great should I get
3:16
this or that I was kind of eyeballing
3:18
that one I at least want to try it
3:20
on I'm all ready for
3:23
space I'm ready to blast off this is how
3:25
you wear this right yeah perfect I love
3:28
it
3:39
we all found our appropriate coffee mugs
3:39
look at
3:40
this in there now we just have to find
3:43
some coffee yeah or some more coffee
3:45
more uh space
4:07
I just took my photo look at
4:10
that that's me on on the moon it's just
4:13
about lunchtime and we're going to take
4:15
full advantage of our VIP lunch with an
4:19
astronaut this is pretty legit in here
4:22
yeah we're the first ones through the
4:24
door all right got the place where they
4:26
this where they trick you and put you in
4:28
the salad first go right for heart of
4:31
palm salad or pigeon peas and yellow
4:33
rice my meal is consisting of a piece of
4:36
bread this is Mojo Chicken this is red
4:40
snapper red snapper and some rice and
4:43
this really cool looking salad that has
4:46
is like Feta cheese or something here
4:48
and tomatoes and cucumbers and Tim went
4:51
the extra mile and actually just got a
4:53
slice of pizza I got a garnish of Pizza
4:54
on top you got all the fancy food and of
4:56
course just a regular old pieza of Pizza
4:58
on top top ladies and gentlemen it is an
5:01
honor to introduce to you today
5:03
astronaut Wendy
5:11
Lawrence there's a Hidden Mickey in my
5:11
meal there's a Hidden Mickey in my meal
5:14
the shuttle produced
5:17
6.5 million PBS of
5:20
thrust and even though I spended that
5:23
point in time probably hundreds of hours
5:25
in the simulator it is not like the real
5:28
rocket so you talked about the feeling
5:30
of taking off into space or into lower
5:33
thit can you talk a little bit about
5:35
re-entry and re acclimating to gravity
5:38
it's not
5:39
fun I don't like it honestly um again
5:44
the human body is just an amazing thing
5:46
it get pretty quickly gets used to being
5:47
weightless and then sadly um you got to
5:50
come back to gravity and you would think
5:54
since you spent virtually your entire
5:56
life in this environment working against
5:58
gravity that that would be the easier
6:00
transition it's not like a replica of
6:03
the footprint on the moon which is still
6:06
there because there's no atmosphere or
6:08
wind on the
6:14
moon all right the journey to the behind
6:14
the scenes stuff
6:16
starts
6:17
here right
6:19
here so that's where we're going right I
6:22
hope so we're going into there which is
6:24
part of the behind the scenes VIP tour
6:26
we're on right now yeah this is a Saturn
6:28
5 look at how much larger it was
6:30
compared to our space shuttle that's T
6:33
the size oh much more it's like the
6:34
difference between the Disneyland castle
6:36
and Walt Disney World castle yeah that's
6:38
that's a good comparison to that this is
6:39
Disneyland there Disney World and this
6:43
would be Shanghai Shanghai
6:56
here I have the best seat in the bus
6:56
look at this this is this is the best
6:58
seat in the house
6:59
right down the middle the best view of
7:02
behind the scenes I've ever I've ever
7:03
all
7:05
time behind scenes of a bus facilities
7:09
such as the Vehicle Assembly Building
7:11
you see 5 mil 8 km up the road just to
7:15
the left of at wh white tipped Towers
7:18
those are lightning Towers at the
7:20
corners of Launchpad 41 where Atlas five
7:23
launches
7:25
occurred first stop is right here this
7:28
is the closest spot that you can
7:30
actually get to watch the launches and a
7:33
few lucky people are able to sit on
7:35
these bleachers and watch the launch
7:39
just a short little ways across that
7:41
water this is pretty cool to get this
7:43
close this you normally cannot get this
7:45
close to the launch
7:47
pads
7:53
awesome in the future we're going to be
7:53
using just about the entire altitude of
7:56
the building once again for the new
7:58
program humongous crawler look at that
8:01
it has tank likee Wheels per foot and
8:04
that thing is 6 million lb second
8:07
driver's control box on the opposite
8:11
corner we did not do
8:13
u-turns BX they have use of this pad for
8:17
the next 20 years down to about 18 years
8:19
at this point but uh they have been
8:22
modifying things to fit the needs of
8:24
their Falcon 9 heavy and Falcon 9 human
8:29
versions look at the secure fence they
8:31
have all around the Launchpad area
8:34
pretty difficult to climb over that
8:35
because of the arching make it very
8:38
difficult to actually scour over the top
8:40
of that fence off in the distance you
8:42
can actually see the ocean and in the
8:45
Forefront of the shot is actually a
8:47
camera used to record the launches a
8:50
very enhanced camera to
8:53
record everything that happens out here
8:56
but look at this relic of the past
8:58
directly in front of us this some old
9:02
sandbags over an old pipe no telling how
9:05
many years that has been there there's
9:08
also no telling how many years that
9:12
portapotty has been standing
9:16
strong
9:34
check out that Launchpad right there
9:34
it's amazing how much history has been
9:36
launched off of that concrete
9:39
slab directly over to the right of the
9:43
sign there's an alligator down
9:45
there or 6,000 alligators on our
9:49
property here at
9:51
Center which is a nice addition to our
9:54
security
9:55
system location where we had the old com
9:58
down clim
9:59
a little over a year ago we replaced it
10:01
with an upto-date
10:03
multimedia screen that can do countdown
10:05
but it can do a lot more the size of
10:08
that American flag is almost as big as a
10:11
football field that pretty much gives
10:13
the dimensions of the size of this
10:15
building massive they've actually
10:18
painted part of the American flag here
10:20
on the ground to symbolize the exact
10:22
size of what it looks like from here to
10:25
up
10:27
there crazy because from here here it
10:29
doesn't really look like it is that tall
10:31
but when you look at the perspective of
10:32
the stripes and the size of the Stars
10:35
these people are laying down and this
10:37
person is probably five five and A2
10:39
maybe close to 6 ft tall doesn't even
10:42
cover across from one of the stripes
10:46
which would be up there
10:49
wow that's a big building I was just
10:51
reading this and my mind was kind of
10:53
blown the launch abort system travels
10:56
from 0 to 500 mph in 3
11:02
seconds that is
11:10
insane you got to get up the bus is
11:10
leaving I know come on there's no time
11:13
to lay around I was taking a nap this is
11:15
a pretty crazy room we're like in a
11:16
waiting area waiting to go through into
11:18
something this is the actual launch
11:21
control from the Apollo 8 space shuttle
11:25
right here this are the actual control
11:55
wow this is actually the astronaut van
11:55
that actually took the astronauts on the
11:57
Apollo missions right inside of
12:00
here and if that's not impressive enough
12:04
take a look at
12:20
this even more impressive is this
12:20
incredibly heavy rocket is actually off
12:24
of the ground and you can walk
12:27
completely underneath
12:29
the structure of
12:44
it you can actually touch you can
12:44
actually touch the moon so Jen is
12:46
actually touching the
12:47
moon sometimes what's it feel like it
12:50
feels like a really smooth Rock it's
12:54
very smooth I should touch the moon you
12:55
should touch
12:56
it touch the moon oh I can't get in the
12:58
that's way oh you got to go oh you got
13:01
to go under you got to go under here
13:02
here we go ready you dare me double dog
13:05
double dog dare triple dog dare you
13:07
you're dare
13:08
me I'm touching the moon right now the
13:12
moon has been touched that's pretty
13:14
cool that's pretty neat though there's a
13:17
piece of the actual
13:19
Moon your smartphone has more computing
13:21
power than any of the computers they use
13:22
in the Apollo missions any of them they
13:24
were the size of
13:25
refrigerators and you guys it's amazing
13:28
but again we have the compendium of
13:30
human knowledge really in the palm of
13:31
our hand when we use our smartphones
13:33
what do we do with them watch cat videos
13:35
mostly going inside a humongous Vault
13:39
what could be inside here
13:43
has and return oh look at all like the
13:45
damage and stuff on the
13:47
bottom that is way
14:10
okay it's time for the grand finale
14:10
going into this building underneath
14:13
these Rockets seem to be the only person
14:15
standing everyone else has seats and I'm
14:18
staring the black and white
14:20
screen with a naked man throwing a
14:29
stick
14:31
it's like we have entered into the
14:33
swamps of
14:40
Florida
14:40
separation Atlantis
15:02
it's pretty incredible to think that
15:02
there is an actual space shuttle that
15:05
went into space the
15:08
Atlantis directly in front of me look at
15:12
this
15:14
incredible of course the rocket boosters
15:16
at the bottom the payload in the middle
15:19
and the astronauts up
15:57
there wow look at this terrifying kids
15:57
park look at at that tunnel it's
16:00
dangling up in the air there's nothing
16:03
underneath it to hold you up those kids
16:05
have more guts than I will ever have I
16:09
would be
16:22
screaming this is actually a space
16:22
shuttle sippy
16:25
mug I would totally buy that
16:44
that's right astronaut Save the Planet
16:44
Save the
16:49
Planet all right so that about wraps it
16:51
up from Kennedy Space Center we have
16:53
stayed here so long that night has
16:54
fallen and it's very chilly so it's a
16:56
good thing that you bought that jacket
16:58
yeah did make sure you check out check
16:59
