Hello to the no one who's yet watching. I'm gonna give it a couple minutes get the bags out here Will I wait for a few people to show up and then we can start the build Give a couple people I'm still gonna wait just a couple minutes. I know this is a Monday morning for For those of us in the U.S. I shouldn't have been putting these back in the box to keep them out of peace way Because anyone's just pulling out a trash Okay, we've only got three bags left today, and I'm really really hoping Wait, there should be one more Hi Pete Pete's here already. He's gonna be up here. Wait. Are we do you have two bags left? I think I might only have two bags left. Oh my god. You guys have two bags left. This is so exciting. Okay, so Let's say hello to Pete Hi, Pete. Thank you. Okay, so let's show you guys where I am We're finishing it today because I I'm running out of time on this. Okay, so here's where we are We have the first second stages and here's the adapter section That will go out the adapter section for the interstage rather that's gonna go into the third stage Which is has less a smaller Diameter so here's where we are so far I know I don't have the fish or a baby. I just punch you in the head of the fins yet. The fins are right here They go like so I've been leaving them off stop eating the plastic I've been leaving them off just because I'm storing it lying on its side right now And I don't want to break the fins off.  We're gonna put this giant box I can put this right here like it's my I don't eat that Like it's my buddy Stop eating the plastic to repeat does it come to the launch tower? It does not have a launch tower that is actually a separate Lego set that someone at Lego has suggested building. Thank you. Keep on that Golly, you're just right in the way. He really kind of likes to be on camera apparently Okay, so I actually need to go where did my Lego ball go Pete? Where did the ball go? Oh wait? Hang on I'll be right back. I got it here. Watch Pete Pete. Come here. Come here here I gotta get a bowl for this. Maybe Pete will come in. I'm coming right back. I'm coming right back Okay, all right, sorry. I forgot that I was cleaning off the island and I moved my bowl of parts Oh Okay, so I'm just gonna do same thing that I've been doing All the parts are gonna go into this bowl right here that still has a couple extra pieces from the last bill And we're just gonna go on this so Okay, I already had one go flying So exciting guys, I didn't have a finished rocket by the end of this And so this is one thing I want to ask you guys to leave me comments on in their Thoughts on in the comments a friend of mine from Mike who works at JPL was telling me that Lego has considered doing all these other things like so the Saturn 5 the last launch the Saturn 5 was actually Phone to launch the Skylab space station, right? So Skylab for those of you who don't know was America's first-ever space station it launched in 73 and de-orbited in 79 Thursday today and It was a this basically the s4b section the s4b stage rather Of a Saturn 5, which is what we're going to be building today. It was a dry workshop So it was built on the ground and then launched. Thank you Pete and There was in it There's a Lego kit of Skylab just the adapter section. So what I want to do is actually By the parts myself because now I kind of like this stuff I might actually buy the parts and do this at the Skylab adapter section build so that I can have my Saturn 5 be an Apollo Saturn or a Skylab Saturn. Oh Pete's like putting his face in my light So let me know if you guys would like to actually do the What's that thing that I just said the Skylab adapter section build I could look into doing that I think that'd actually be like really really fun. So okay, we're gonna start So we have the first two stages done. I have not done the command service module of the Lynn module yet But that's happening today. We're gonna go with this section right up here now You guys are definitely into the set the thingy Skylab, okay. Yeah, awesome. I need two smaller bowls down there. Okay, so we're gonna start building the S4B So the S4B for those of you unfamiliar is the third stage I know people have been asking for and I'll do it eventually. I need time To sort of get a quick look at like why things were called the way they were the S1 being the first stage The S2 so why is it third stage the S4B? Oh my god, Pete Conrad That will be a video once I have time to actually read up about it in detail So yeah, that's coming that'll come eventually I'm traveling less right now. That's a good thing. So once I'm not traveling as much I'll be able to like get all that stuff done If you don't have a sunburn, I am just pink. Oh, this is wet. Why is this wet? Okay, so we're just gonna do this Right here All right, Pete is Looking his paws on the floor Okay, I'm just gonna get this right out of the way Okay, so we're gonna start with the S4B.  I should have got I need a smaller bowl It's true. It's true. I have very pink undertones I learned that because I people keep telling me that I have to wear like fancy makeup to Hide that I have pink undertones because on camera. I was weird. I don't know Okay Okay, we're gonna put them all in the bowl It's gonna be a little bit tough to find things but whatever you guys know I'm like not super pro at this but oh well. Okay, so we have this thing and we're gonna put these things Now what are the little gray pieces? We're looking for Gray boxes. Okay. One two Three Move this bottle out of the way One more gray box, gray box four. Okay. Okay, so on the other side. Why doesn't this want to go? Okay Nope, that's the wrong way. It goes this way. This way, one, two, okay Three Isn't this exciting? It always takes me you guys know it takes me a minute to like figure out how to let go again Um How's everybody's Monday going or unless you're in Australia in which case it should be Tuesday Separate it some of these big pieces so that they're organized and also slightly out of my way Monday's are pretty good good good. How's everyone's weekend? Clearly need to work on my Lego self small talk like Um, okay, okay, so we need two of these You two of these Two of these and two of these, okay Okay, it goes like this And like this all right I'm tired. I should have made more coffee instead of water this time. No astros. There aren't astronauts Um, okay No, wait, it's right. Okay. And now I'm putting it together. So it looks like this It's starting to have a rounded look for that tank um It's looking like this so it's got yeah, it's got three tiny little little lego astro men Um They're tiny by the looks of it. I haven't they're in the last bag So I haven't actually opened it yet, but I'm super excited to fold them out today and see how teeny tiny they are Um, that's gonna be fun Um And there. Okay. So this is the base of it. Okay. So now we have These four kind of step pieces one look like this two Three and four. All right, and we're going to what are we gonna do? Okay, we're gonna put Okay, so it's gonna look like How many of you guys have built this I feel like this is gonna be a much quicker build today which is good because I've got like life stuff today like washing machine repair man and stuff coming which is why I had to start earlier today because I had to I have to be done a little bit quicker today. Okay. So now we're gonna take Three of the that's a different piece. Okay three of these Little turrets. I know these all have real park names, but I like to call them little turrets.  Come on um I need a light that goes over my computer, don't I? Okay, so three of these and then we're gonna put one of these flat things up here and then Stick this on like this. Okay All right, so we're taking one of these pieces and I like these ones that have like negative lego holes. I don't know what they're actually called, but um Yeah, negative legoes Negoes Negative legoes. They're cute. Um, okay this one and then we put four on the sides like this I'm narrating it because I haven't looked up questions. How long has it taken? I'm also trying to watch questions. Um Hi UFO funded somebody asked for a shout out, but I missed it. How long has it taken? This has taken me Uh, I think this is my fifth build and it's about two hours build So it's taken me eight hours so far to do this which is like I feel like it's really pathetic Um, to be fair, I don't have somebody like Organizing the bags for me before I start. This looks super weird. Um organizing the bags for me before I start and like helping me put all the things together. So it's uh, oh look a little knobbly bits Um, so yeah, I I'm a little bit slower. We need eight of these um, and I'm also trying to talk To give you guys a little bit of info about the Saturn 5 over the stages as much as I can remember. Um, someone I'm trying to and I'm also trying to like watch comments and like Give some narration. Okay. One two three four five six seven. I need one more Does anyone know what like the inner posts are called like the little these do these have a name? I'm also trying to learn about legoes because apparently there's like proper names for every little piece And you guys keep telling me that I have them all wrong. Okay So we're gonna take and then we need two of these brown bits If I had thought about it I just thought about it now I should be eating eggos Um I haven't had an ego waffle I don't know 10 years I haven't eaten eggos in ages But now I feel like it would have been just like great bad jokes all the way around if I was eating eggos and Doing lego. I would have been like actually being a a six-year-old darn it Sometimes I make myself laugh, but it's like way after the fact Okay, so this lines up right on here. Okay So putting this together Um, I also should have put the a c on it's a little warm with the lights on lego your ego, right High restrier Uh lego your lego my ego. Yeah, that would have been really fun to be able to just keep saying that. Um, okay, so now we're gonna build the uh The round bits I love these pieces that give the stages Like that curvature. Okay, we need eight 12 of those one two three four Five 10 11 12.  What do I eat in a typical day depends on what I have in the fridge But usually a lot of vegetables. I really like salad contrary to what the simpsons believed You do win friends with salad And that only makes sense if you watch a lot of simpsons You don't win friends with salad. That's the that's the song Okay I win friends with salad. I like salads. I make good salad dressing. Okay, so it's starting to look like a tank Maybe maybe if this piece will Or I keep getting them like ah that one come up. Okay. There we go. Okay starting to look like a bit more of a tank um Okay, and then we're gonna add build up onto this bit one two three No, that's the wrong one This is good with every bag that I move through Um, I get really excited that I don't have any missing pieces um Oh people are saying that someone made a donation Thank you so much for supporting my my little youtube channel It means so much to me that you guys actually want to hang out and watch vintage space As a show anyways and also support me in these weird endeavors just to share The awesome fun that is space nerdery with all you guys because I know people love it And if I can can do it and share it with you guys and that's so much more fun I am this is Okay, this is bag 11. I'm getting to bag 12 Um, so there's 12 bags. So we're almost done. We're I'm aiming to finish it today Today someone said it's very rare. We'd like to miss pieces. That's what they say about Ikea too But I was once building a dresser and I didn't have pieces That was really annoying And it wasn't that bad. I mean I just like Called them and did it but uh, yeah, it was sort of annoying. Okay. Wait. What is happening right now? Okay, so wait this goes here Oh I love when they have the instructions that like just tell you to place them together So it's like you place them together and then you connect them with one of the brown bits, but it looks like It's sort of just like it the it just implies like they should like magically like Yeah, um, someone just asked what my favorite Apollo mission is Um, the Pete who was just up here a minute ago who I don't know where he is snoozing right now But Pete Conrad my cat um Pete Conrad my cat He is named for the commander of Apollo 12 Which is my favorite mission And I think I've talked about this before because that seems like a common question that I get so apologies for repeating myself But I love that they were that crew Just feels like they were best friends going to the moon together and that was the mission when I was a You know 13 12 13 just kind of starts Yeah, okay little pinwheel thing um when I was you know 13 12 somewhere in there starting to like really start getting into actually Do that right?  No I'm not a professional lego person. I'm a professional space person that does lego for fun when it space themed um It's not it's the lunic. Wait. Am I getting them mixed up with the rovers? The lunicod was the rover because I have those pins from those missions the lunicod one and two rovers um the and four of these things the lunicod rovers Um is another thing that I I've written a bit before but I'm going to do a video about very soon um Because I realized that like that needs to be a video because they're Fascinating missions the lunicod rovers were too um on They were unmanned missions on the lunicod missions um little rovers that were piloted What is what is this right now? Okay. Wait. Sorry. I gotta figure that. Okay. Okay. It goes like this It goes on the naked. Oh, okay. Um Um They were remote controlled by operators on the ground and what's kind of awesome about the lunicods They covered so much distance those rovers.  Oh, there's a crater Let's not drive into it. And of course the lunicod because they were kind of uh Running fast and loose as it were with those those rovers. Um One of them Did I do this right? Yes, I did. I just got too many little white hats Okay, one of them. I think the story go as much double check this. Um Sorry, I'm looking at The lunar stuff. Okay. Um Oh, I'm on this bit What wait, what? Sorry focusing It was this way. Okay weird. All right. Sorry Wait, oh shoot. I did do one of these wrong turn it. Okay. Hang on Hang on. Yeah, there we go. Okay Um So this is why I can't talk in lego um I think the story with the lunicod rovers goes is that one of them drove into Um into a crater and like they so what they did they had solar cells Because the lunar day is two weeks of our weeks and the lunar night is two weeks because it's a month cycle, right? So they were able they covered during the night So they would conserve heat to keep the batteries warm Um and then open during the lunar day to get energy from the sun to work. Um I think the story goes that one of them drove Into a crater and then scooped dust onto the uh the internal elements that was like the cooling unit So that it wouldn't overheat but also the heating elements and then it just like it died. Um, so it was sort of one long lunar night Um, I forget how the that I can't remember if that was the first or the second one But um, that's how one of the lunar the lunicod rovers met its demise. Okay. Let me just check that This is all pointing in the right direction. Okay. I think we're good. Um This is hard to tell that it is a uh gonna be a S4b, okay So the the landers so there was a soviet lunar lander done. I think I Okay, I'm completely blanking on the name though I think if somebody could oh if somebody does know it and pop it in the comments If I see it, I'll I'll you know, but uh, I I might not catch it. Um I think it was also the the lunicod landers. Am I getting that wrong? Anyways, they were um This is the worst movie to reference right now, but if you've ever won the lk landers Thank you. I knew it was an l and a k the lunica. I knew it was in there somewhere the lk lander um Hate to say it, but if you watch the movie apollo 18, which is like um Like a lost mission to the moon where it's the worst movie It's like it starts out kind of interesting and then it just devolves into like complete insanity But there is an lk lander on the moon and the this like apollo 18 crew All the air quotes because this is just an insane plot, but um They go they land on the moon to like find some secret thing I forget entirely but like They find dead cosmonauts on the moon They find an lk lander and they actually do have a pretty good looking lk lander from all the design stuff and like early Drawing from stuff that I've seen That is If you have that movie, I mean it's a let's let's be clear Terrible movie, but it does have an interesting view of the lk lander And kind of gives you a sense of what it actually looks like. So it kind of it's it's lunar module ish um in two five six seven eight Darn it. It's lunar module ish. I I feel like it's like a ball and then Like I want to say it's four legs. So it kind of looks like kind of looks like like a I feel like they do this in in certain like Japanese or Korean restaurants.  It looks one of those Um, I don't know too much about the specs of it. Um, like I said, I'm still kind of digging into that stuff for some other things that I am researching on the um The n1 and the lunar program, but uh, yeah, I don't know too too much about it But I'm I'm interested and that is something that I am working on Ah, and I'm also looking for one more of these things these little roundy bits with the knobbly bit on the side That's not it. That's not it There we are.  Okay, so we're building the other like side tank bit here Okay, so we take one of these Okay, so the top bit Gets these I'm very curious as to what's gonna go like clipping on to these because that seems to be the way these things go um little hats Posts, I think they're properly called, but I still call them little hats. Okay, and then From here it's two of the black rounded pieces Yeah, that's right. Okay, and then for the white ones Okay, and we gotta do that one one more time Um, okay Uh, yeah, how cool would that be the n1 rocket? Um, I was just thinking how neat would it be if there was a lego kit for the uh lk lander I would love to do a side-by-side build of that in the lunar module, but like yeah, that'd be fun Someone needs to make all these things so that I can build them um The n1 rocket I did a video about it if you guys are on the channel um If you do search n1, there's a little uh Box with a magnifying glass there is actually a search function on the channel that lets you search within my videos only If you search n1 you will find Okay It's coming together You'll find the video I did in the n1 and I believe that video Has a blog post attached to it. Um that has My article on the the n1 rocket, which was the soviet manned or the soviet lunar rocket that was designed to kind of be the one that might go to the moon Um, it had I want to say and I always get this mixed up with space x's thing um Space x's interplanetary system because I think the n1 had 42 engines on its first stage um, and it just it was a like literally Literally, uh, a hot mess of explosions like um, it launched It had a an alarming fail rate and because it had 42 oh 42 is interplanetary transposition system. Um, oh wow, you're in australia 30 engines in the first stage. Okay. I know I always get the those stats mixed up because when people ask me at one They always ask in reference to the other Um, and that's usually socially and I haven't actually looked at the stats in a really long time. Um Oh, there's a truck outside. Can you guys hear the truck outside? maybe It'll be gone soon-ish. I hope anyways, um Yeah, it uh, there was a lot of issues in commanding that many engines at the same time Um, and it did explode rather spectacularly Um, I do have the video about it and a blog about it if you guys want to read more that's Um, actual details instead of me remembering things from months and months ago off the top of my head Yeah, no, um, go go check out that that video in that article It it is there and it is very interesting stuff. Okay. Where is I'm looking for One more of these There we go. Okay And four four four oh and then two of these okay So we're doing the other I don't know waffles now. Uh, we're doing the other tank or the skin section thing here Okay, and then there There, okay. That's right. All right. This is two I always get the theme from the odd couples stuck in my head when I do this. Um, really weird I don't know. That's such a that's such an odd one. Okay. All right. Now. We're building up the side bit in here Um, I don't watch game of thrones I never have I don't know people keep telling me that I should watch it when I'm sick or something but then I'm like Um, okay, so now we are sticking We are sticking a bench on a thing Yay, okay. Wait actually We do that that's on the wrong side. I don't know. I'm always worried about going backwards on these things.   Okay, so then we put This this looks needlessly complicated. I want to say Oh, no Wait, what I'm confused Oh, no, I'm less confused. Okay, and then a little it's a single knob and Are these things called novins? I think they should be called novins. Okay Okay, we've got that And then we got gray hooky bits And one flat white bit Okay, so it looks like this Um, I also don't watch dr. Who I tried it. I think okay So what I've heard from about dr. Who and let me know if you guys have had this experience, but um If I've heard that if you don't start with a right episode of dr. Who it just like doesn't work Um, and apparently I watched a weird when I tried it a few years ago I watched like not the right season not the right doctor It was the one where it was like a there's a the girl is like a british pop star in in real life. Um But everyone that I told that that was the one that I saw was like, yeah That's the weird one where like the doctor and the girl have like a strange romance and like it definitely felt kind of weird Um, so apparently it's not just me that felt like that was oh wait, this is the wrong one. Okay, wait Did I do this right? Yes. I did do this right. Okay Yeah, three and three. Okay, so me three Two so yeah when I tried to watch dr. Who I think I just started with the wrong the wrong episode in the wrong series And never really got back into it Um, so yeah, I don't really do a lot of sci-fi people are always amazed by that But I've never been a huge sci-fi person. I always say real space is more interesting than fake space to me Um, I watched uh, but speaking of fake space So I finally watched armageddon like yes 20 years later. I Finally watched armageddon. I really should have closed that window. I'm sorry guys It's warm in here and I wanted to just let some I don't know. I like having windows open and fresh air, but There's a restaurant across the street from me and when they get food deliveries at the beginning of the week It's just all trucks backing up into their driveway. Um I finally watched armageddon 20 years almost 20 years after it came out and my god, that is a terrible movie I think my favorite part is that like somehow there's wind and rain on an asteroid in space Like Everything about it's just like you got to be kidding me But then at the same time there's that scene with uh, ben afleck and what's her name live tyler when they're like They get engaged in one of the f1 engines of the saturn five That's why isn't this going down that's on display at kennedy and i'm just like i want to sit in that thing I just want to sit there for five minutes. There's all kinds of like I honestly enjoyed that movie more for the insane little like Being in cool space locations and kind of like just that shot of You know Flying in a jet and all that cool stuff. Um, I also really like speaking of flying flying in a jet. I love that they go from uh They go from flying flying parabolas and sort of like experiencing flight loads And I don't know what kind of jet it was. I assume like an f86 or something. Um at edwards to Looking at something at kennedy to the neutral buoyancy lab at johnson in one day And uh, yeah, they don't make any mention obviously because it's movie magic They don't make any mention that it's like that would include multiple cross country strips or trips rather.  I should hold this thing the right side up. What do I think about surrogate choralev? I think he's the unsung hero of the soviet space program. I don't I'm still again guys. I'm doing See and it always works way better than I think it's gonna. Um surrogate choralev is for for lack of like a Yeah, I think the easiest honestly the easiest way to kind of explain him is he's like the soviet version of fun brown in a lot of ways Um, did I do that wrong? I'm very confused as to what this is right now. Um Hang on hang on. Let me this this doesn't look right Is that right? Weird Why does it look like I guess maybe I don't know. That's confusing to me right now. Okay. Anyways, um Now we're doing the opposite side of this. So we're doing the other one. Um, what was I talking about?  Um Wait, what wait, hang on. I missed something. Oh, I missed a step. I missed a step. Okay. We're good We're good I built this and didn't put it on to anything Okay, this makes more sense. Sorry This is what happens when I talk. I get oh choralev. So I said the soviet guy choralev. Yeah Um choralev is the easiest way to kind of Think of him without getting into any of the nitty-gritty. Um In short, he is the soviet answer to fun brown. He ran he ran ever he ran like the big stuff he ran, um The r7 program, which is the rocket that launched sputnik and I think they also the r6 program They came before it and then also the n1 program that was a soviet lunar stuff. Um Very different backstory but Just like an absolutely fascinating character and again, I'm still working on some soviet stuff right now, but uh Yeah, he um He's the only one who really gave the soviet union a real shot at getting to the moon. Um And it you know, he was he was imprisoned in a in a gulag and he was just so poorly treated in the way that it Really what it comes down to It comes down to the the soviet What Hang on. Okay. Oh, I see what's going on here. Um, it comes down really to the way the soviet space program was organized It's very very different from nasa and I'm still kind of trying to get my head around it And I will eventually get the video on it once I am able to be in one place For more than four days because I'm already leaving again in two days. Um But uh, yeah, it's it has a lot to do with the way the soviet space program was organized that he didn't get all Of his big projects off the ground. Um, and actually that plays into the n1 program Wait, this should go. Okay. There we go The n1 program that we're talking about the soviet lunar rocket that had 30 engines in its first stage Um, the reason it had 30 engines on its first stage is because korolev asked a colleague of his at a different design bureau I can't remember the names off the top of my head. Um But uh, see I tell you guys I I researched all the things and there's a lot of things that I know off my head But names especially of soviets I want to say it was it might have been glushkoe But glushkoe also might have been the guy who took over from kora from korolev's bureau. Um, okay be one after his death um what just um He wanted more powerful engines that another design bureau was was working on and the guy said no So korolev's you know, it was some condition that korolev wasn't Wasn't okay with so korolev said fine If you won't give me the better engines, then I'll just use my own but he didn't have the more powerful engines um, so what he had was um The less powerful, uh Whoa I forget the name of the engine that was on that that rocket, but he had that engine So what he effectively did was okay. Well if I can't add more thrust by adding more More powerful engines than I'm just gonna physically add more engines um So that's how that that's how that ended up working out. Okay Am I doing this right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. So I had to focus had to focus. We're good We're good Game on I watched wanes rolled over the weekend. That is God to be one of the best movies ever. Um Yeah, I have you used to be if you go back a couple years older videos They're not in the best shape, which is why they're not in the background anymore But I have a wane and garth wood paint painted wood cutouts that my best friend gave me for my birthday For christmas a couple years ago, but they are so cute and they sit by my tv um, so yeah wanes world that is Fantastic such a fantastic movie. I make a lot of references to that that no one ever understands. It's just like Dating myself. Okay. Um Okay, and we're snapping So this is going to be the outside of the uh of the stage you're going to spew spew into this. Um We're going to snap it into these little knobbly bits right here. So and There it goes, okay And the last one goes over here There it goes. All right. Nicely done. Nicely done. Okay So now we're going to fill out these sections right here So oh god 21 2 4 5 6 7 9 10 11 12 17 18 19 20 so in other words all of the ones that you have left Um, and then four of the black pieces. Okay, so it's going to go Black ones at the bottom and then wait all the way up um Yeah, so then the interesting thing about the n1 program and the whole soviet lunar program is that so Korolev died Korolev so okay one of the interesting things when I say that like you can sort of call um Korolev the soviet version of fun brown where fun brown had like a disney special in the early 50s and was a household name and he was like He was really touted as such a hero for nasa for building the saturn five or running the team that built the saturn five Rather, I mean he wasn't like a one man a one man operation building a saturn five. Um Korolev operated in absolute obscurity He was known as the chief designer and there were some people who didn't even know Who he was so it was this very different thing where I think there was something like You know fanfare over uh successful launches. He didn't even get he wasn't even allowed to celebrate it um because No one was able to know his name and it was in part because the soviet system Wanted it to be very like Um, you know, it's it's all for the for the party and the people but it also as a matter of protection Um, but Korolev died quite suddenly. He had I want to say it was a liver Surgery he had he had something. I maybe was like pancreas pancreas There was some some organ that's down in here. Um, he had surgery on it in 1965 and he actually there's um A record in a alexa leon of who's the first soviet and first man to walk in space in 65 co-wrote memoirs with dave scott who was on Gemini nine gemini nine am I getting that one wrong? who Apollo nine Apollo nine gemini eight dave scott and uh 15 um They co-wrote memoirs which are actually really really interesting and um He talks about the night before His surgery that he spoke to I think it was leon of and urie gagarin And was kind of talking to them about the the greater sort of We're going down here. Um talking about the overall program and It's a sort of very poignant moment when he knew that he might not survive and he ended up complications from surgery He ended up dying Um in obscurity in 1965 and the soviet program never really recovered um So it you know it had korolev survived Um things might have been very different, but it's one of those like you're never really gonna know Um, but it's a really interesting kind of thought process to think through But he was he was really the driving force behind that and no one quite had his vision It's also but it's also his Why won't this go? His vision, but um, also the um, his kind of control and like not control but like his ability to Um, oh, sorry 66 not 65. Thank you a small loan of a million dollars. Um 66 yeah, I Remember his his illness starting in 65 65. I think is in my head you because that's the date when I always say that Oh, what the hell is this? Um 65 was kind of the point where um What's happening right now where America really took overtook the soviet union in space. Um So he ended up dying in relative obscurity Um Hang on Why won't this go? Okay, wait, there we go. There we go. Or maybe maybe maybe Okay We're putting the engine on so, um Yeah, things might have been very different. It's an interesting kind of thought experiment of what might have happened had Coralov actually lived longer to see the the n1 program. He was also known for what I was saying. Um He was also known for having Not control over his people but a really incredible ability to persuade people Uh, I missed a part. Wait, what? Oh Why does it say that this is shiny when it's not shiny? I don't know. Anyways flat bit Flat bit. Okay. Um He was always able to convince people for the things that he knew that he needed So check it out. We have oh, I don't have good lighting right here We need to try to move this so that you guys can see so, um Yeah, I love the detail of the little Orangey bit on the engines that make it look like they're firing even though they're obviously not when it's uh mated, but yeah, okay, so then Oh, I see what's going on. Oh I knocked the box over. Okay So I've also got my fins down on the chair here. Um, okay, so as you can see This is so heavy. Okay, so you can see these little Red knobbly bits in here. So that's where the little Bits here are gonna click in Okay, so I'm gonna stick this together. Um Ready ready false alarm and Click okay, that was less satisfying than I want it to be but yay. Okay. Our s4b stage is on and done All right, we're gonna stick around for the slide and we've got Guys, we're on the last bag Awesome sauce. Okay. All right last bag. This is the one I'm super excited about not only because it's the last one But it's the cfm the lm and there's a little um There's stands for stuff. I was looking at the um The instructions earlier and it's uh, it does show that you can put the litter module either in the adapter section Above the s4b or you can have it on its little moon base. Um, which spoiler alert. I believe is this piece right here Um, so that I think that's just gonna be so super cute. Oh, look.  Let me see if I can move it for you guys But look it's the little front hatch of the lunar module. Um, I'll put pictures of this p I don't know where pete is. He's been sleeping when I have the windows open. He likes to sleep under the um There's a little like nook between the main room and the bedroom and he likes to sleep there. Um They went into the side for now Um Okay, so I think that's what pete might be snoozing over there, but uh, he might come back. Okay, so we're gonna start with the Adapter section. So we're basically just going up. So we're gonna build the adapter section the csm the lm And then we have the flotation bag. These are the flotation bags um So we're gonna put all this stuff together and it's gonna be adorable Okay So much bigger than the thought was gonna be Okay, we're gonna move these pieces Out of the way. How cool would a lego crawler be? Oh, this is the ocean We're gonna move these bits off to the side for half a second and um There we go. Okay, so and we're gonna move these out of the way because I think we know that these are gonna be the These have to be these are the adapter panels. Okay See, it's where you're getting the view into my laundry room. Um Okay, so white thing white flat bit on top of the gray flat bit. Um Gray post or something. Um, okay, and then we need two of these Roundy bits.  Okay So let me put this on This is gonna be so cute when it's done. I'm so excited I'm gonna need a place to put it though Okay This so now we have this bit Um, this is gonna be our command module or this is the service module rather And then our cm is gonna pop on top of it looks like okay, so then we have this Bit okay, and then this bit Starting to come together Okay, and then we have four. Oh, no, okay. We got to open one of these bags. Is it in this bag?   What would it be? I'd love oh Um, that's one's gonna float um one piece of space memorabilia I'd love something personal that flew from someone but like, you know considering I don't I'm not related to any astronauts. Those are not something that like the every man can actually just like get a hold of very easily um, I know some people that deal with those kinds of artifacts and like actually I know someone who sells who had access I put this on the sideways, um to walley shirah's Personal estate and actually sells his old hawaiian shirts, which are kind of neat I mean something like that would just kind of be awesome, but um I don't know. It's not for me. It's it's uh I don't know I've never really thought about kind of owning memorabilia. I have a lot of Um, I have a lot of weird things, but you know, my my prize collection is really the Apollo astronaut um The astronaut wall of awesome as I call it. It's just all autographs. It's flight directors and it's astronauts and Um, just people who kind of made that stuff happen and that's that's what's super exciting to me Um, but it's more because I've met everyone who's autograph I have up on that wall or people that I've met And that's what's really more out means more is just being having a chance to like actually talk to them and meet them Oh, you have a piece Chris has pieces of the Apollo 13 lm coming. That is awesome. Um, I have a lot of those things where it's like the the um What's it the uh, like flow metal like medallions flow metal like that's kind of neat, but it's also sort of like Hard to get a sense of you're like cool.  I think a lot of those things. It's really hard to say like Those things are so cool when you know the context, but so many of them is like I like I have a piece of the Apollo No, sorry. Gemini to heat shield. It's like this big. It's actually probably the size of this little astro man And uh, yeah, it's it's cool. But what makes that cooler in my collection is that I actually Um, I sat I moderated a panel. Why are there four astronauts? Weird, maybe it's an extra um What's happening right now? Okay, so we're building. Oh, this is going to be entertaining. Okay, so we're building this like the lattice structure of the um Launch escape tower is actually pretty neat. Okay, so look we are so we've got these little things that look like cannons um So we're putting them together like this It's going to be neat. Um, so I met I had moderated a panel with five gemini Mercury and gemini engineers and tom stafford who flew in gemini and apollo and they were all nice enough to sign The uh picture on which that piece of the heat shield is mounted So like that becomes a really cool part of my collection be one Okay Okay, burger there's an extra one. Um, that becomes a cool piece of my collection because it's signed And it means so much more to me that it's signed as opposed to just like having a thing that was in space So that's what I really look for when I look for kind of memorabilia stuff is like Do I have a connection to it? Even if it's just that I met the person who was involved because like that makes it So so cool to me. Um, okay, so this is going to be the launch escape tower. It's actually going to fold in It's going to look really neat. Um, but we need Where's the top bit Opening the last day Where'd it go? I just saw it. There it is. Okay Okay, so this is going to kind of secure This little lattice structure Okay, so it's on like this and then we're going to take There is a post We're going to put take this thing this black post and we're going to put it in Just like a this bit And pop this on All right, okay that clicked nicely Um, we're going to stick this through this thing Maybe maybe there it goes Okay And then we turn these things so they're all Closed onto each other So now it does have that lattice like structure of the launch escape tower, which is so so neat. Okay, um I'll put this on And then there's a bit up top Wait, this looks okay. I think that's going to be fine. Okay Launch escape system So this is obviously this command module is going to have the um The this is the shroud over the command module because as we see it is actually Gray slash silver. Um with that mylar are the uh captain foil rather Coding it. Okay. So now we are going to build down What? So now we're going to build down Oh, we're going to put the sps engine on um, it looks like It looks like there should be a Long bit I don't know It looks like there's a long Bit that has like Different levels of grooving on the sides, but I don't have that. I just have one with the same Just grooves all the way down um Taking all these round white pieces because they're not they're not too small that I will likely lose them. Hopefully Hopefully I think this is the only post I have Let's see what's this gonna work I think this will work. Yeah Maybe that was right. Okay. So there's our sps engine So I can't but take that off and that's your apollo command service module Okay, so now we're gonna take These bits and we're gonna build up the rounded parts that I just took off on the bottom So just three layers of these to add Add height to it Why do I keep picking them up upside down? Weird. Okay Two, okay one more on each Okay, there's that and then we're gonna do that on the other one Okay. Oh, this is really fast Two two three three Okay so There we have it. So we're gonna stick wait. Oh no wait. I did do something wrong here. Hang on Hang on Yeah, this is not the right piece. I don't think Uh, it's this post. Okay. I get it now That's misleading color wise. All right. So this goes in here And then this goes in here Okay, so that's kind of awkward. So it gives you this okay So what's gonna happen is that once we put the adapter section on it actually clips in here Which makes a lot of sense except that I just want to point out Um, there it was not a space with like a post sticking out between the The service module and the sbs engine. Let's just be clear. This is for the sake model not real. Um, Okay, so we're gonna stick this Wait, oh, okay. Wait there that goes there and then this goes here. Okay That's our adapter and our command service module a command module the lunar module is Theoretically it when we it does when you're going to the moon it goes in here Okay, it's ready Hang on. I think I'm gonna hang on. Okay. I'm gonna put this on after I'm gonna build the other stuff first And then I'm actually gonna go I should have done this before but I'm gonna run and grab My other Saturn models and show you guys the Like insane quality that this one is honestly compared to the ones that I have and the other ones that I've built Okay, so we've got the Saturn 5 is actually complete and now we're gonna build um We're gonna build the little the other things we're gonna build the lunar module and we're gonna build our csm Or a command module rather uh at sea. So yeah, we're gonna take our moon base Okay, and uh Okay, we're gonna take two of these Nope, not that one. We need one with the little I need the other one with the little Flat hat There it is that one.  Okay, so we're gonna put this one in the middle And this one goes over on the side And then we're gonna do let's start. I'll move this so you guys can kind of see what I'm doing. Um, okay This is the gonna be the command module at sea. Um, it's got flotation bags that we're gonna build up in half a second. Um So we're gonna do that and then Then Okay, we're building the little lunar module It's gonna be so tiny. Okay. So I'm gonna take four of these little knobbly bits. Um, one, two, three Four, okay, and then four of these Flat gold bits. Oh, it's so cute Um, I'm so excited to have this done and I'm gonna have to find a good way to present it in my house Um, okay. Okay. So how okay, so this goes like this Build in this out. Okay. Legos are pointy apparently. Um We go There we go. Okay three And four Okay, and then these we're gonna stick on the sides of this gray piece That one didn't work. Okay, there we go Oh, there we go I'm getting there Okay, and now we're gonna take These pieces that look like these look like um These pieces remind me of a robot devil from Futurama. So robot devil faces. Um two of these Two of these bits with the hooky bit and another four Little flat hats four. Okay And how are we gonna do this?   Okay Okay, and then we put the other four pieces. So it's gonna be symmetrical like this This is where this is definitely where the legs are gonna attach Um, so it's starting to kind of get there. It's you know the awkward shape um Okay, so then we're gonna take this piece and Two of these and we're gonna So we're just gonna fill this in. Okay, so you've got a little post on it and then Pop this down and and this should There it is. Okay There so that's actually kind of looks like our descent stage Okay, and uh Is it saying that there are three do I need three of these? Okay, it's like a post in the middle of it.  Okay. Where's the fourth one? Okay. There's the fourth one um, four little gold hats Four and then four wrenches Come on They're 100% wrenches like they're wrenches. Okay, so four little wrenches one two They're rolling three four. Okay So we're gonna put these these are the legs. So we're gonna put these together So the hat goes on the bottom and then the wrench goes in Okay, there little legs ladies I'm so scared of dropping one of these now you roll underneath something and then it's just gone for the ages And then we snap these onto this starting to look A little bit lunar module-ish Okay, I'm gonna stick that there and then we're gonna take This and this little piece of the thing and we're gonna do as per the instructions Put them together. I just saw someone said um How many pieces are there's there's 1,969 pieces Um, 1969 for the landing year which makes a lot of sense This is good. We're like three days from the landing anniversary actually She just could have saved it, but uh, yeah want to get this thing done Also, I am traveling that day so I'll tweet some stuff, but okay, and then two of these and two of these And two and two of these You can do it. You can do it. There we go And two, okay So we've got these long knobbly bits. Oh wait, and then we And then we put one of these on This is just building up And one of these on there we go um Okay, so now we've got these so this is gonna be the side of the lander I think These and then this flat bit Yeah, they're giving this nice little detail of the flat bit. It's like flat with like the not beveled maybe a slight beveled edge um Kind of a nice little detail. Okay, and on the other one we are going to take a little flat round bit and This thing This little like hammer hammer head bit, um Okay, and we're gonna attach it Make sure we do it the right way up Okay, this one goes here And this one goes here Oh, I see what we're getting at. Can you guys see it yet? Starting to look like it. Okay, so we're gonna put this Where's our little lunar module face? Help fight and put it upside down Um, okay, so then we're gonna put that I don't think it matters which hand and leg. So we're just gonna plop it down here. Is it supposed to No, okay So then yeah, this is gonna be the Oh, wait, I missed a step I missed a step Hang on Is that really it? Sorry guys Sorry, okay. Yeah, I missed a step of putting hang on. This is good. This is good Done hang on. Yeah, okay. We're good So these little triangular pieces are adding the right shape to the descent stage So then we're gonna put this I don't know if it's supposed to be facing a certain way We'll make it go here. No, we'll make it go here like in the picture and then plop the legs down This does not feel steady Okay It's our little lunar module on the surface and We've got an astronaut We're just gonna put all of them on the moon so that we don't lose them. It's so cute Ah, okay So the last thing is building the uh So then they give you so you have the lunar module on the moon And you also have the command module after landing. So that's the last I think that's the last thing We're actually gonna build. No, then we have to build the like support struts for this thing. Okay We're almost done. Okay, so we're gonna do this Take this We're gonna take these We're confused by some of these directions. Okay. I'm sorry. I should like actually stick this down Sections to my table Wait, there we go. Okay. So we stuck this down to the water And then we stuck this post up through this and we're gonna stick the command module onto the base Um, and then we have this sticky outie bit I'm gonna pop this down No Should I miss something? No, it goes down this way. Oh, okay Pop this down and then we've got three airbags and one like non airbag So then we're gonna put these things together. So this is gonna be the flotation bag So they kind of braid together in a way that they I can see this They're braided together in a way that's gonna let it wrap around the uh, the base of the module so that we can actually make it Look like it is a flotation collar, which is so cute. Okay good We're good for themselves on lego Okay So then we're gonna make it A loop I guess Mine doesn't look as perfectly circular as the one in the instructions, but we're just gonna shape it. It's so cute I wish this like does it doesn't snap down it doesn't snap down just kind of rests Okay, so there we have our command module at sea Okay, so we're gonna put these to the side and then we're gonna take these all right So now we're gonna build the struts that are actually gonna support the rocket so we can display it Um, like it's a real rocket. Okay, so we're gonna do this first. We're gonna snap this to the base How do we do they all are they all the same? Is that important should I be looking at that? No, they're not all the same. Okay So this is one Oh, nope. They are all the same No, they are not all the same Okay, so this one this this all right Take four of these Posts in it Okay, and then we take this Sorry, I got nothing. I'm focusing. Sorry guys. I'm focusing on building this little thing Okay, and then we put this on this. Ah, oh wait. I'm supposed to do two of those darn it. Come on, darn it Okay Okay, oh that one popped up the other side We're good. We're good guys. All right, and then This bit and then this last bit And then we put another one of these So this has to be supporting. I'm not there. Can you guys hear that? Okay, so this has to be the bit that's supporting the upper Section of the rocket because it's slightly taller Um, so we're gonna stick this together Okay, so that's one support structure and then the the last two are super quick. Um So they go like this stick red posts In them on the other side Okay, and then these come together like So, okay Yeah, that's it. And then we're just gonna do that one more time. Oh my god bird done Guys, we're done. I did it This is not the gantry. Um someone just asked This is just um display cases. It looks like it actually looks a lot like the display Thing they've got under the rocket at uh at kennedy actually it's sort of this like metal structure that's supporting it even though it's Empty it's not fueled. It's still like a massive heavy thing, right? So there is a fair bit of structure that goes under it Okay, I'm gonna put it together and I am going to attempt to um Show you guys all of my Saturn 5 rockets Okay, there's four. I don't want to lose the astronaut So we're gonna put we're gonna put four of them on the moon even though that definitely couldn't happen I knocked my phone over. Sorry guys Okay, so I need that. Okay, we're good The one with the yellow goes under the I'm gonna knock this off the table and then I'm gonna cry. Whoop.  I'm gonna go grab my other Saturn 5 model the one that you guys know Oh wait, I'm gonna put my fins back on it first to I'll take I'll put like a I'll put a picture of this on instagram and on twitter and on facebook later Because I'll line all of them up properly when my island is a little bit cleaner Um because right now it's covered in mail that I have to deal with and stuff But um, okay, so Guys we did it. It's the lego Saturn 5. It's all done. We'll go right to the end there. All right Whoo. Okay, sweet Let's make that actually supporting something. Okay, and then we've got the little lunar module the command module So let me go grab this one real quick. I'm coming right back. I'm coming right back If I can lift it. It's so broken. The previous one that I have So this is the one that you guys noticed in the back. This is the rebel kit Um that I built years and years ago. It is plastic. It's designed to screw together. It is so So broken, but look it's so much bigger. Um, so sadly I got to say the uh You can see some differences in the color scheme um Obviously this one is actually this is actually designed after the um 500 f rocket So this was actually the one that they used for a shake test the flown Saturn 5s did not have this band right here But um in terms of the coloration of the rockets, I'm going to use my nose. Um on the the interstage here Between the uh the s2 and the s4 b stage. This is actually the coloration of the rocket This is not so we'll call that artistic license unless I'm looking I'm looking around to have a picture Um, yeah, I'm pretty sure that the flight ones had this kind of thing. Um, and then you can see also that there's no like Whiteness in this band up here, which is down there as well. That's true. You go This is falling apart this thing has been This thing was on the background of my videos. It comes to the stand I lost the little scale people Ages ago when I moved I built this thing when I was living in phoenix The alias works I built this when I was living in phoenix and um I lost the people in a move you can see under here. I'm so afraid of moving it I've also lost the fins because it's been knocked over so many times unfortunately um, I do what I like about the revel model is that um the pieces do come apart So like you can very easily show what it is and the um The uh, what am I saying? I think they're all glued down at this point unfortunately. Um The pedals of the adapter section you can actually see the lunar module is in there Um, it's tiny But it actually comes apart and then this the the knobs broke off But then this screws in to lock in so you've got this and then the uh The alias comes off with the adapter section so you care with the um Boost protective cover so you can actually see the in-flight version So this is actually a great model just speaking of models for a second. I love this reval kit. Uh, I think this piece Yeah, so this I see I lost the engine too. I have it. I just have to glue it back together But it's got it's supposed to have these little like l-shaped nobles that latch on to little sticky outy bits here So you can take it apart What I really really like about this model is that you can take it all apart before it breaks And you have to glue it to actually show what happens with the mission So what I love about this kit is that you can take it apart and like show the staging show the whole mission And it's a great way to illustrate especially for kids. I think this is sticky tacked uh Yeah, it's sticky tack down I didn't want to glue it but it's sticky tacked so you can actually really illustrate with kids Um that this is the only piece that comes back. Um So it's really interesting to kind of take this whole model. So this is one to 144 scale So this is a scale model. Um, I think this one is to scale. This is to scale. Um It doesn't actually say on the box what the scale is Which is weird and a little bit annoying, but I know this is to scale somebody probably Um, somebody has probably shattered it out in there. Um What scale this rocket is it's obviously bigger. Oh one to one eleven Um, so yeah, it's a little bit bigger. Obviously. Um, just kind of looking at the size of the of the stages you can tell but um I do really like the rebel kit just because it does come apart exactly the way the Saturn 5 Oh sort of 110 Um, it comes apart exactly the way the mission did and I can't show you because it's broken and glued together, but um this the the stages inside The stages actually have the correct bulkheads and the fuel tanks So with the lego one if you guys saw it or want to watch it back They're built up to give the model structure and strength and to add to the pieces of To make it 1,969 pieces. This one obviously doesn't really care how many pieces are in it. It um Does it to give you a good sense of how the rocket actually worked? Um, and then I have one more Saturn 5. I have one more Saturn 5. I'm ready to get it. I'm ready to get it. I'm ready to get it Um, it doesn't do anything And then I have this one. Um It's it's uh It does come apart. I didn't know that so this one. I gotta say um this uh Those of you who've been watching D news for a really long time Remember our old set that had like shelves with science things in the background um when we tore down that set um This became mine And I didn't know that it comes apart. It is very very bad plastic model But whatever it does it whatever it does it's doing it now and it's kind of a cute one I mean, I think this is probably also to scale you can kind of see um That there is the detail of like the thrusters on the side here um, that's that's fun, but uh, yeah, it's not nearly as good. So Yeah, I don't know this This is turned into like a review of the Saturn 5 the lego Saturn 5. Um, I love this. It's beautiful. It looks really beautiful. Um It's like shiny and pretty And fun to build just by the fact that it's like annoying Um, it is obviously lacking in details like we can see Let me see if I can take this off to show you guys Okay, can I take this off?  Um, can I take this off? No, I can't take this off Darn it Well, I can take this off barely so you can see that um, sorry I've got the computer is like holding up the phone because live streaming is so much easier Ah, oh no, I didn't know I could turn the camera Um You can kind of see these little bits that look like flowers that um That's kind of meant to be the the for rcs of the thrust controllers Um that are on the service modules. So they're sort of there Um, you can see a little bit better in my broken model. They're definitely there And they're actually like mounted in the in the pods the way that they are on the actual, uh, rocket So in terms of detail the the lego model definitely takes some sort of stylistic license which is totally fair because it's a lego rocket It's not meant to be a Education model the same way that this one is it actually like shows the way the bulk heads work on the inside And twists the part to really show you how the mission works Um, but way fun. So like I said earlier For those who weren't here who missed it. Um a friend of mine found that lego is actually looking at doing Uh an add-on to this kit that's the um the the adapter section for skylab because the last ever sat or five to launch In 73 and launched the skylab space station and um Yeah, he sent me a link where I can actually buy the pieces myself And then build it So if you guys do want to actually go through the build of the Saturn 5 adapter for the skylab Let me know I kind of do want to buy it because I think it'd be fun to have that option But uh, let me know and I will buy that and and um, I could build that live if you guys are doing it Um, so yeah, that's that's it This is also for those of you who've always asked This is uh, this is what happened to the Saturn 5 that used to be in the background It got knocked over it's glued together and it's so fragile that I can barely use it anymore. Um, okay So, oh my god, it's so like I think it fell in like some some goo. I don't really know. Let's put it this way Um, so yeah, this also kind of ends the like running live feed that I had Um, I know I've asked you guys in the community tab before if you would like to see me kind of do a live q&a Um, just because it is a little bit easier to do something that's kind of Um, extemporaneous when I'm home. I can very easily like Uh, just hop online and answer questions if I see them live and I would be able to if I'm not also building it I can also monitor questions coming in online so that I can actually Follow along better. Um, so maybe we'll try one next week. Um, let me know in the comments you guys Um If there's a topic what kind of topics you think would be interesting like we could pick a mission and talk about that um And of course, sorry, I should say this is not going to This is not going to take the place of regular videos those I've got a episode going up wednesday and then they'll go back to monday's um Just because mondays have been the only day I've been home to do the build I don't want to double up on videos. Um, so this would be in addition to regular videos Those are not going away. Um, but if you guys want to do like Like pick a topic like we could talk apollo 13 One day we could talk to the gemini program and just kind of I could go through sort of a running list of things I could um Source questions beforehand and kind of build together some stuff before that. Um, we're gonna start probably with nasa stuff Because that's what I can talk about off top of my head. I saw a thing going up for e-submissions.

Welcome folks, we had the Dow finished up three points, Nasdaq up 17, S&Ps up 2, Gold contract caught the bid, up 840 traded 1480, Silver up 5 cents, $17 flat, LightSuite crewed up 64 cents, $59.82 a barrel, notes and bonds, now notes and bonds, no doubt, monster day out here, yesterday they got slammed on the way down, today what you had is that they got to a low or low, they went against the swing point from November 7th, November 7th was also a wide price spread day on the way down folks, so yesterday you had this huge amount of selling on the way down, but guess what, it was before the swing point, so what ends up happening, it is just like you'd be running in a marathon and are swimming and all the energy comes out before you get to the finish line, so today we got to the finish line, guess what, you rejected lower price, bottom line, notes as well as bonds took off topside like a rocket ship once again, you had the 10 year up 19, the 30 year up a point in 12 ticks, that is saying that higher price inside note and bonds, lower yield continues to come at us, because that is still a very small retracement in the context of where the note and bond market has been going for quite some time. Kingdala, Kingdala did change trend this week, the trend that it changes from February of 2018 folks, so it's a large change of trend right now, we're at 97, 193, it looks like we're on the way to 195, and bottom line, what you're going to get out of that, it's the pound as well as the Euro, the pound had broken topside last week, followed through this week, Johnson got elected, decisive election, UK is going to be out of the European Union, market likes it, they got some conviction that the pound wants to go higher, Euro also spiked higher today over its swing points than gave it up on price, I suspect you're going to be right back topside on that, just the Euro and the pound going higher folks will take that dolla-loa in a huge way, the yen, the yen is still hanging out here at the 109.33 mark, we're going to take a look at the S&Ps, bottom line, you're still at all time highs inside the S&Ps, you know coming into next week, bottom line, next week will be the last week that I think you have some real trading, then we're going to be on holiday trading for approximately three weeks, have a great weekend folks, have a safe weekend, we look forward to speaking here, coming right back here, Monday morning, nine o'clock, Larry Pezzavento kicks us off, great program, yeah, look at him folks.


Dylan Schumacher, Sandel the fence. If you, you may or may not know, but I'm based out of the wonderful state of Minnesota. Has its pros, has its cons. In general, in this state, we have extremely good permit to carry law. You know, barring constitutional carry, we have the next best thing, in my opinion. Looked at a lot of different states, looked at a lot of different places. We really have some really good laws here in Minnesota. And one of the things that makes Minnesota permit to carry law so great is that when it comes to the shooting qualification exercise for your permit to carry course, there is no state mandated shooting qualification. As a permit to carry instructor, I and any other permit to carry instructor in the state makes up their own qualification. I'm sure there are other states like that out there as well. And I know that there are a couple of states that have a state mandated qualification, right? So, I've run into a couple people now where they had a spouse or a friend or whatever who went to a permit to carry course in the state of Minnesota, and they failed the shooting qualification for that class. So they did not get their certificate of completion, which you need to go there for and apply for your permit to carry in our state. And every time I hear that, I get mad. I get really, really mad. Because there is no state mandated qualification, like I just said. So what that means is that instructor made up in completely arbitrary qualification and then is failing people in that qualification. Now you might say, what's so wrong with that Dylan? Here's the deal.  If you walk away from a class having your spirit crushed, was that a good class for you? The answer is no. Now maybe you think this should be different but the facts are, for most people, the vast majority of people, permit to carry is the entry point, right?  You need your permit in order to purchase a firearm or get your permit to purchase but permit to carry is an easier way to go. So for a lot of people, that is their very first gun class ever and it might be their only one.  Yes, however, then it's probably their first course ever. So you have a group of people who are coming in who are untrained, haven't shot a lot in the past or haven't shot seriously a lot in the past and now they're expected to pass your arbitrary shooting qualification that you made up in order for you to think that they're good enough to have their rights under the Constitution of the United States.  That's just the way it is. You're not a teacher, you become a bureaucrat evaluator, kind of like a mall cop or maybe a meter maid that makes sure someone checks all the boxes and makes sure that they're good enough to carry and whatever you think you get to determine who has their rights and who doesn't. You should either change and be a real teacher. Your job as a teacher is to help people succeed. That's your job. I'm not talking about people that have state mandated courses although I'll tell you what, if you have a state mandated course and you're a permanent care instructor, your goal should be that every single one of your students passes that. You should do everything in your power to help people pass that. I'm not saying you should lie or cheat or anything like that but I am saying you should equip them and empower them to pass those tests so that they can have their God-given rights. And if you put a barrier between anybody in their rights, I have no respect for you and you certainly don't belong in teaching people how to shoot guns. You certainly don't respect the Constitution and you certainly don't enjoy living in America.  You do really well in a socialist country somewhere. So the idea that you would place these extra barriers, when enough barriers already exist between me and my rights and you wanna add more to that makes me sick. The worst of course is when it's police chiefs that do it, they put on permit to carry classes. I had that happen here where a police chief down at so and so a town put on this permit to carry course and then they failed people because they couldn't pass the police shooting standards or whatever. First of all, I can out-shoot you blindfolded. Anybody who has those standards, I guarantee you I can out-shoot you. All right, come on, we'll go up to the range.  So you should either quit, resign or learn how to actually be a teacher. Again, a teacher should empower and equip, not crush people's spirits.  They're certainly not gonna come back to your class and they probably won't go on to learn more about their rights that they have. So you've won, you've ruined someone's day and two, much more importantly, you've crushed their spirit in that for life. Like they are wounded for life and that's your fault. I have no respect for you. You don't belong in our industry. Please find something else to do. I think a mall cop or a meter-made job would be a good one for you. Something where you can push some pencils around, feel some power and then be a good bureaucrat. I just have no idea who you think you are. Just none, none whatsoever. You can't shoot, you can't teach.  I had one person tell me that their spouse passed the written test, which I get made up, completely made up and it doesn't exist in my state, but failed the shooting test. Again, completely made up. That shooting test should be a conduit through which you can equip and empower people and not crush them. You're not here to evaluate. You're here to teach and instruct and apparently you don't understand the meaning of those words, you incompetent hack. If that happened to you, if you went to one of those courses, I'm sorry.  I am genuinely sorry. That is terrible. That should have never happened to you.  Please, listen, there are plenty of good instructors out there. Go see one and learn to shoot. And really, these are your rights. They're yours. You have them, period. We are a conduit, we being competent instructors to help you access and to equip you to use those faithfully. That's our job. That's our job. It's not to put barriers in front of you and anyone who did that is not a teacher. They're not an instructor. They don't belong in any respectable organization and I hope that they never teach anybody to shoot guns, teach anybody to shoot guns again. Well, I think that's all I'm gonna say about that. I think that's pretty clear. Do brave deeds. And for you, a brave deed might be going out to find a new instructor. And endure.


What's up guys, Rexxen34 back with another epic video and today we have a set we've never opened for Legacy of the Valiant. Well, we have opened a couple packs but not much. Legacy of the Valiant in a set we've opened a lot, a lot of. So we have the last booster box of Battles of Legend Armageddon, probably the last box. So if you're tired of Battles of Legend Armageddon, this will be the last one in less, you know, like five years or two years we opened it or something. But this is the last box I have. I'm not going to be buying any more even if we don't get the 10K or the Utopia here because I've opened so much of it. I'm getting kind of tired of it. I know some of you guys are, but I'm not going to sell this box because it's from a case and we've opened the entire case without one so far. So I'm going to finish off the case. I'm going to be done. So we're going to do search for Starlight. So Starlight vs. Ghost has returned. We haven't done a Starlight vs. Ghost video in a while. So we're going to try and search for the Ghost out of Legacy of the Valiant and then we're going to try and get a Starlight from Battles of Legend. So here we go. Before we get started, the giveaway. I'll be giving away a Blackwing, Elf in the Raven from Raging Battle, Magical Hats from Pharaoh's Servant. That's pretty cool. That's an original. And Summon Skull from Duel's Pak Yugi. All you have to do is like the video, be subscribed and let me know what card you want to see from Legacy of the Valiant or Battles of Legend. Alright, let's get into this. Hopefully we can pull something good. I'm really hoping that we pull a Starlight from this or else this case was a big bust. We did not pull well out of it overall because you really can't pull well out of Battles of Legend without the Starlight if you open a bunch of boxes because it's just so expensive per box with not much value other than the Starlight. So hopefully we will get one. If not, it's okay. We did get one on our first case, which is pretty cool. Also, I want to remind you guys that we are, oh there's a Paladin of Photon Dragon, Skull Prisoner, Super Rare. I want to remind you guys that we do have Rage of Rock coming up this week. And hopefully we will be able to open up a couple of boxes of that on Friday and a case of that later on the weekend. So hopefully we can do both of those. That will be a lot of fun because, oh there's Danger Jackalope. That set has Wing Dragon of Rock Ghostry and I'm extremely excited about it. Also, thank you guys for 19,000. If you guys didn't see the Blue Eyes 10 opening, check that out up there. It should have been yesterday. It was pretty awesome. And I'm looking forward to 20K guys because that opening, I've been itching to do that opening for so long. It's going to be so awesome. But yeah, let's see what we can do here. Let's see if we can pull a 10K. Again, we do have one being graded. I have the Black Rose being graded from that collection I recently bought. Make sure you check out that video. We spent $8,500 on that collection. I've sent the Black Rose and the Ancient Fairy Dragon First Edition in to be graded. So hopefully those will come back and I'll do videos for that so you guys can see what the grades are. Here we go. Or really sensitive. That's cool. Black Brachios is in here. That was playable in Duel Links with those dinos. Of course, I always mention Duel Links because that's most of my Duel Link experience sent after 2006. That's a Chaos Dragon classic. Actually, is this the set? Okay, I'm trying to remember what the Ghost Rare is in this set. I'm pretty sure that Heart Earth Dragon thing actually is a Ghost Rare. I just can't remember what set it's from. Mountain Silvenia. There's that Paladin again. Grave Keeper's Ambusher. I've never seen that Grave Keeper. That's pretty cool. But yeah, we did have some pretty cool videos coming up. I'm pretty excited for Ghost Rowing Dragon of Raw, guys. It's the original art. Yes! Last box! Utopia! Utopia! Oh my goodness! Oh! We did it! I totally thought this was going to be a bus case. Oh my goodness, this one's worth... Okay, this card is worth a quarter of what 10K is worth, but I'm still just as excited because we've opened over 30 boxes. I've now pulled both 10K and Utopia. Now we don't... I wasn't going to open any more boxes. Now I don't even need to open any more boxes. This is crazy. Check out the centering on it. It looks pretty good. We pulled Utopia! We did it! Oh my goodness! We did it! That is incredible. So it looks like Starlight vs. Ghost. Will this be the first ever time we pull a Starlight and a Ghost in the same video? Wow! Check that out and check out that astral language. This is basically a Yu-Gi-Oh! language. This is really cool. Oh my goodness! I was not expecting that. So yeah, all the extra battles of legend openings, they were worth it. They were worth opening like a million boxes and getting nothing. Wow! So that case turned out pretty good because we did get like 3 chaos emperors I think in this case and we got the Utopia. So that makes it pretty much worth it. I think we like barely break even or like maybe not even break even, but I don't really care because we got the Utopia. I think it's only worth like 3-3.50 now. Taco Crusader. Yeah guys, if we pull a Ghost Shreer in this video, that's going to be crazy. I didn't have a video recorded for tomorrow and I was like okay we've still got some battles of legend. We can still open those up. I've got some Legacy of the Valiant. I actually have more of these but I was attempting to sell them but nobody had bought any. I don't really like to open stuff when I've sold out of there because like if I pulled the Ghost Shreer then it's like everybody I sold to it's like well you won't get to go. And then you can still get other good cards but it's like I mean you could get a Ghost Shreer. I mean you could but it's just like the chances are low. You know when I've opened out of a sealed box at least. Powered in Zektron. But if it's random packs you know obviously you guys saw my docks opening you know the guy pulled two ghosts after I'd already pulled two ghosts. So when it's loose packs you know anything can happen. But when it's out of a box it's kind of like well I already know that the best card is gone so you don't really want to sell stuff that wouldn't have a chance to get the best card you know. Because they're buying it with the hopes of getting it even if they don't get it. That's kind of what they're hoping for. Oh Imperial Toons of Necro Valley. I actually have this card. I think it was out of the collection or something. I think it was a four dollar card. That's nice. Nice secret rare there.  I don't know what these are worth but we have pulled those out of Legacy of the Valiant. So it's our first higher than Super Rare. Man I can't believe we got Utopia guys. We got them both baby. We got the 10k and the Utopia. Numeron calling. There we go just keep up the hot street. Oh my goodness. Well we're gonna plus on this opening for sure because that box is like you know that covers both all the packs of the year. So we haven't plused in a while actually so that's pretty nice. I'm trying to remember the last time we did. Obviously we didn't plus on the blue ice tin. That's that's true. And then every opening with Battles of Legend we have a plus because Battles of Legend is like we start with 85 and we get at max like 40 bucks you know out of it. So it's hard to overcome that no matter what else we open. Bougian Arasuda. I remember this guy. Stand off. Okay there we go. Bougian Arasuda Ultra Rare. Here we go. Oh that was out of here. Yeah these Legacy of the Valiants are unlimited so we usually don't open too much unlimited but you know sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Also let me know in the comments guys do you want to see there's a Utopia Future Slash. Let me know if you guys want to see my Go Deck. My updated Go Deck. I have done a video on it. I'll link it up here as long as I remember. And I was talking about how I was gonna max rarity and I have it it's not max rarity right now but it is way more way closer to max rarity I should say than it was when we first when we first showed that video. So if you guys want to see that I also have a couple other Go decks I've been playing just for fun and they're not as as like max rarity but they are fun and I like them. So here we go Starship Skyplane. Let's look at these cards a little bit Dodo Blaster. I'm gonna go a little fast since we got that Utopia. There's a Mystic Beast of the Forest. But yeah yeah let me know if you guys would be interested in a Go format video. All it's gonna be is like going through my deck and you're looking at it and I don't want feedback from you guys. What do you guys think about how you play it or whatever. If you guys play Go format something like that. By the way Go format is 2005 I think April ban list something like that. So that's where you get that from and it was considered like a great format and stuff. So some people still play it. There's a Heritage Dustin Rowen and Wingsphinx. So yeah people still play it's pretty cool because you get to play with the old cards and those are my favorite cards. I mean I still like the new stuff but the cold the cold the whole stuff's really awesome I really like it. So so far we have pulled the big boy Utopia after I'm trying to remember how many bucks I think it was like 30 or 32 total. If you count okay Sylvan Blade Defender that's pretty cool. It was if you counted the blisters I bought because I bought a bunch of blisters so if you counted those it was like 30 or 32 boxes I think that we've opened. So we pulled both Starlights technically under ratio because you should get them. Oh Skull Knight guys that's back to back videos of the Skull Knight. Look at that. Okay this is a pretty good box. We got I mean okay it's really good box. It had Utopia in it but it's good other than that too. So that's cool. But yeah we pulled both. The ratios are like one in 25 so it'd be like one in 50 to pull everything. There's a Bujinki Fox. Oh Silent Honor Dark.  I like collections and stuff. There's an Ultra Rare version. It comes in Ulti as well. It'd be cool to get an Ultra Rare in here as well. Obviously Ghost Rare would be insane. Getting a Ghost and a Starlight in the same video would be awesome. Especially Knight with not mass opening. You know just opening one box. Basically 24 of each. Well less 24 of each but basically one box of each. These are from a 100 pack box and these were from a 24 pack box. So C-Shift. There's a P a Peace Keeper for Dre. I man I love some of these cards that just have those little puns in their name. It's pretty good. Man Utopia guys. We pulled Utopia. Let's go. By the way let's just check this out again. We pulled this. Look at that card. That is extremely cool because it's not in English and it's in an English set. I mean it's just so cool. The first time they've ever done that I think. So I mean that's that's pretty awesome. Monarch's Awakened. Oh some of these Ghost Tricks are worth something I think. This Sylvan's all those. Those bring me back to them. Let me tell you guys. Bring me back to you know what. You know what. Okay Fireflint Lady. Here's the heart. Hard Earth Chaos Dragon. Can't go without it. All right. Legacy of the Valiant. Let's see if we can pull an Ulti or a Ghost. A Ghost would be awesome. Lio. Okay. Wingsfinks. But also we don't pull a Ghost. I can sell the other packs. I could. Probably gonna end up opening them though on the channel. But I don't know what I'm gonna do. Darkness Metal and Book of Moon. Darkness Metal is actually like a three dollar card. Which is really good for this set. There aren't too many three dollar cards. So nice to pull that one. There are three hundred dollar cards though. Because we just pulled it. Here we go. White Dustin. Grave Keeper's Ambushur again. Luminous Dragon Ritual. All right we've got uh what four packs of each left. Okay four packs of each left. So far the Starlights are killing the Ghost Tray. Like it's it's pretty much over unless that we pull a Ghost Tray over here. But value-wise the Ghost Tray team is in trouble. Because just in general the Ghosts are not worth as much. Or these random ones. Ghost Trick Mary. That might actually be a decent card. It's in the mirror. That's creepy. Oh I always love this guy. Swordsman from a Distant Land. That is a sweet looking card. Okay. Battles of the Legend. What else could you possibly have in here? It's already been so crazy. There's a Cross Sheep. Just adding on. Piling on. Polar Penguin. All right Laval.  Like I don't even know what the best card in the set is. I didn't even look. Usually I look. I didn't this time. Let's see. I just had a great feeling about this opening. I was like not even gonna have to look it up. There it is. Swordsman from a Distant Land again. Okay five packs left. Let's see if we can pull another epic card. Our final few packs of Battles of Legend. For good. Yeah so some of you guys will be happy to hear that. But I'm also super happy we opened. The funny thing is Tinkay and Utopia both came out of the last pack. The first Monarch Secret Rare. Nice. And the thing is um it was the last box. But I think one of the cases was upside down. So it might have actually been like the first box of one of them. But the last box I opened on both cases we got it. So that is like super weird and cool at the same time. Okay. So I'm glad we opened this. Artifact Ignition. See like if I told you guys if I had sold those I would be so mad. I would be so mad at myself. Like not because of them. Like I probably would have still like made the same amount of money on it. But oh there we go. Gravekeeper's Oracle. Oracle. Oracle. That's a sweet card. But I wouldn't have forgotten to pull the Utopia which would have really sucked. Gravekeeper's Oracle. That is his.  It's so weird. Okay. Last pack of Battles of Legend for good guys. We've already pulled everything you can pull. We pulled every card in the set now. We we we conquered this set. We did it. Oh there we go. Artifact Sanctum. So now we can move on and we can conquer Rage of Raw. How about that? You guys ready for Rage of Raw? Alright let's see what the total score was here. I'm going to separate these out and we'll see. Alright guys from the ghost side. From Legacy of the Valiant we pulled Bap, Powered Insectron, Mount Silvania, Skilled Prisoner or Skilled Prisoner, Sylvan Blade Defender, Ghostrick Mary, Busion Arasuda, Number 101 Silent Honor Dark, Gravekeeper's Oracle, the first Monarch's Secret Rare, and Imperial Tombs of Necro Valley's Secret Rare. Two Trapped Secret Rears. Then from Battles of Legend, the Starlight Side we pulled Book of Moon, Fire Flint Lady, Fire Flint Lady, Cross Sheep, Artifact Sanctum, Danger Jackalope, Numeron Calling, Darkness Metal of the Dragon of Dark Seal, and Fossil Warrior of Skull Knight. So it's pretty close. You know pretty close. And then of course the Starlight's pulled. Boom Utopia. We did it. Starlight Rare Astral Language out of Battles of Legend First Edition. Yes we conquered the set guys. That was incredible. I hope you guys did enjoy the video. You're either extremely excited we pulled this, you're excited we're done with Battles of Legend, you're excited about both. Honestly, I'm excited about both. I'm tired of that set. Not gonna lie. But I'm not. I'm not sad that we opened all those to get this card. So that was incredible. We're definitely sending this one in to get graded. And we've got so many incredible cards being graded right now. So let me know in the comments what you guys thought. Let me know what kind of videos you want to see coming up.
