Everyone gangsta until the radio warning plays twice
-
6:47 “Stand by for a message from the president of the United States.” Michael pops up
-
The fact that the rocket scientists were using Comic Sans still shakes me to this day
-
Not me crying alone at 10 am over astronauts that never got stranded on the moon.
-
man that radio warning is horrific
-
Only Vsauce can get 10M views with the title ‘If’.
-
6:24 I love falling asleep to vsauce, but waking up can be the most anxiety inducing panic causing shit. Jesus Christ.
-
“Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace... will stay on the moon to Rest In Peace” I don’t remember the last time I heard such eloquent, powerful words. Honestly I cannot fathom having to deliver those words.
-
When you pause the Emergency Alert System but you still hear the sirens
-
“Stand by for a message from the president of the United States.” Hey! Vsauce! Michael here
-
Imagine you’re one of the first people on the moon and then getting told that you won’t be going back home, just imagine how terrifying that would be.
-
6:07 jesus…this actually made me feel physically ill. i started tearing up when i heard this alert even though i knew it wasn’t real. fucking wild how much of an impact a sound can have when you’ve been conditioned to expect bad things to happen when you hear it.
-
"Sir, the launch had to be cancelled." "Impossible! I made sure they used comic sans this time."
-
That EAS alarm always gives me the chills
-
That speech was... unexpectedly devastating. It actually made me cry. It didn't even happen
-
the last line of the speech he read was a reference to the poem "The Soldier" by Rupert Brooke, which means that the people who wrote this believed that the space race was as real as WWI "If I should die think only this of me, that there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England."
-
The moon disaster speech is the most haunting thing I have ever heard.
-
I can't imagine being told that I am trapped on the moon and my only two options are starvation or suicide. That is an extremely chilling thought.
-
The emergency alert gave me shivers and I really hope no government anywhere in the world will need to broadcast that… ever.
-
6:40 everyone gangsta until the warning doesn’t actually stop
