Nasa worker: i studied for years to know everything about apoapsis and periapsis KSP players: p a t h e t i c

I graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering (astrodynamics focus), and this 36 minute video is just as useful as the entirety of my Orbital Mechanics class was ALL semester, and there wasn't any homework! 😂😂
-
This video coincidentally started playing the first time I got to orbit in KSP. It was the most epic thing I have ever experienced.
-
I need to do rendezvous in Kerbal Space Program, i know i could watch a practice tutorial, but i prefer to learn orbital mechanics lol
-
This was one of the best videos I've ever seen. Educational on a very technically challenging subject and yet explained in a simple way that's easily understood. Thank you NASA!
-
This video: Perigee and Apogee KSP intellectuals: Periapsis and Apoapsis.
-
Gotta love KSP for inspiring us to learn more
-
If YouTube had been around in the 1990s I would have aced my math and physics exams!
-
It's amazing what you can find on the internet these days. In a good way , not the weird way guys , get your minds out of the gutter !
-
Buzz Aldrin has a doctorate in orbital mechanics from MIT. There was a really good reason he was picked for Apollo!
-
Really refreshing video, don't understand why the new American videos or documentaries can't match this quality and depth of information
-
KSP and Orbiter have taught me more about astrophysics and orbital mechanics than any educational insitiution.
-
This is one of the most enjoyable videos I've ever seen.
-
What a great tutorial from 1989 ! I mean now a days we hear every word of this video in the launch commentary. This video helped me to understand these much better.
-
I love how knowledge is available literally everywhere now. The best part of the Humanity's space program is how it's for the betterment of our civilization as a whole.
-
Well I just learned about a dozen new words.
-
I love how they start off by taking the time to stay "the earth is round for those of you who didn't get the memo" sadly. a LOT of people seemed to miss the memo
-
For anyone who wants to get a basic understanding of how orbits work, this is a good video. Thank you
-
Interesting, and hypnotic music :) I like this older American accent, not like these new 'documentaries' where the guy sounds like hes commentating WWF wrestling explains things in a manner as for a 5 year old. Wish they made more of this type of stuff instead :(

Though it's a little dated, it's incredibly informative. Admittedly I got a little misty-eyed seeing the video clips of the Space Shuttle.
