Old Shepard - Recreating Alan Shepard's Historic Suborbital Flight

Scott Manley is someone who fell into YouTube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching. I used to do this as a hobby, along with my day job in software development, but that recently came to an end and I'm really appreciating everyone who has chosen to support my work through Patreon.

Video Description
New Shepard is named after Alan Shepard who became America's first astronaut when he flew the Mercury Spacecraft, and given the recent NS-31 flight and some people trying to compare this flight to Alan Shepard's I though it would be educational to compare what he was tasked with doing during his first short flight into space. Reentry let's me simulate every button, switch and display to give you an idea of what was asked of America's first astronauts. https://reentrygame.com/ Follow me on Twitter for more updates: https://twitter.com/DJSnM I have a discord server where I regularly turn up: https://discord.gg/zStmKbM If you really like what I do you can support me directly through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/scottmanley
