Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am talking about the Top 10 Scary Nasa Urban
Legends Part 2 - why....
Because you loved part one and space is the best topic of conversation.
Some of these urban legends have even turned out to be true!
WHAT.
Before we get into this video, I want to remind you to stick around to the end of the video
so you can hear us respond to comments from a previous video.
Also I think you should leave a comment on this one and tell us what you think to the
list!
Do you believe any of these urban legends?
Let me know in the comments section down below.
10 - The REAL distance to the moon A conspiracy theorist by the name of Ritchie
From Boston uploaded a video to youtube claiming that NASA is lying to
us about the distance to the moon.
The moon is at its furthest, 252,088 miles from earth, and at its closest it is 225,623
miles away.
It takes about three days for a spacecraft to get there....
Or so we are told.
Richie uploaded a sensational video to Youtube claiming it is only 4.7 miles away from earth.
Claiming to have used a normal digital camera to zoom in on the moon, he says that NASA
is lying about the real distance and that he estimates it to be mere miles up.
He said - "I can zoom in more on the Moon than I can on a building that I can see with
my naked eye."
Right.
Why exactly Nasa would be lying to us about the size and distance of the moon....well....he
doesn't get that far.
9 - Astronauts wear Diapers Think being an Astronaut would be the coolest
job in the world?
I do...although apparently they wear huge adult diapers and have to relieve themselves
in.
This Urban legend is actually true - NASA Astronauts are issued with Maximum Absorbency
Garments.
It seems that back in the day, Astronauts had to wee and poop themselves when they needed
to go.
These days they are mainly used for urination, but they are comforting to astronauts who
aren't sure when they can make it back to their space craft.
8 - The Great Wall of China Okay, this isn't so much a SCARY urban legend
but this is one of the most popular urban legends surrounding NASA - a lot of people
think you can see the great wall of China from space, but it turns out you can't really.
You CAN, however, in low orbit, see the Hoover Dam.
The rumour comes from a book written by Richard Halliburton in 1938 in which he said that
astronomers theorized the Great Wakk was the only man-made object visible from the moon.
You'll note from the date this was longgggg before Nasa actually went to the moon.
Somehow the idea stuck.
7 - Nixon's Death Speech On the 20th July 1969, President Nixon made
the longest distance phone call ever made at the time when he called the astronauts
of Apollo 11 to congratulate them for the moon landing, however it seems that he wasn't
all that confident the NASA team would make it.
According to his speech writer William Safire, an emergency broadcast had been scripted in
the event that the mission failed.
This speech was leaked some 30 years later.
It read: Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will
stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their
recovery.
But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
It continued with some bodies on the moon imagery.
Scary.
6 - Sperm in Space Is NASA blowing its load all over space?
What does this mean!
According to the internet, In April 2018, Nasa sent human AND bull sperm to the international
space station.
It seems the experiment is actually true - Nasa wants to see how weightlessness affects sperm.
Why?
Well they didn't give a full reason for that, a lot of people are saying it is because they're
preparing for the apocalypse and they want to see whether or not humans can reproduce
in space . In 1998, it was found that Aquatic invertebrates were able to reproduce in space...but
it is thought babies born in space would develop a whole host of issues from the lack of gravity.
5 - Anonymous In 2018, Anonymous released a video saying
that Nasa knew about intelligent alien life.
The Hacktivists said that there is something going on in the skies above.
A NASA spokesman, Thomas Zurbuchen, was reported to have said the following: Taking into account
all of the different activities and missions that are searching for alien life, we are
on the verge of making one of the most profound, unprecedented discoveries in history.
Anonymous since removed the video and NASA denied any knowledge of intelligent life.
What is going on?
What is the real reason NASA hasn't gone back to the moon since the 1970s?
Why did nobody ever set foot on the dark side....? 4 - The Ghostly Moon Music
The Astronauts on the Apollo 10 mission passed around the moon, and when they were at the
farthest side away from earth, the dark side, they lost all radio contact with ground control
and the rest of the earthlings.
As Apollo careered around the moon, they heard some really weird sounds... like....
Really weird sounds.
So weird that the Astronauts talked about it constantly . The weird sounds were not
reported at the time, but they were recorded and received by Nasa when the mission returned
to earth.
The recordings were classified - which means that they were being safeguarded from human
ears.
Why....
We aren't sure.
In 2008 the newly declassified recordings were found, and we can hear the transcript
of the conversation and weird woo noises.
3 - The White Flags It is said that all of the flags left by astronauts
on the moon - a total of six American flags - have all turned white.
It was said that the initial flag planted by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin fell over
when the Apollo 11 mission took off on its return mission, but the other 5 flags are
standing up tall and proud....although eerily they have all turned white.
Why?
Well because the moon doesn't have the same atmosphere as earth and doesn't filter out
UV rays in the same way.
Some people highlight the creepy irony here - the moon was planted with American flags...
but you can't tell what country the flags are from anymore ...is this because you can't
lay claim to the moon?
2 - Astronauts Go mad in Space ....and NASA don't like to admit it.
There is a lot to be said about mental health and space - spending days, sometimes weeks
or even months on end in the darkness is a scary prospect.
Life isn't the same up in a shuttle - not only does it take intense physical training
to go up into space, it also takes a lot of mental focus.
Dr Patricia Santy, a Psychiatrist who has worked with NASA employees criticized the
space agency for denying behavioural issues in its Astronauts, and suggested further screenings
for mental health issues prior to and following space travel.
In 2007 former astronaut Lisa Nowak, who worked on the International Space Station was arrested
for attempted murder then pleased insanity and depression in court.
Does this have anything to do with her time in space?
Some people certainly think so.
1 - The Alien Signals For the last decade, Scientists have been
picking up unexplained Radio Signals they call Fast Radio Bursts from deep Space.
In fact, on the day I scripted this signals were last reported in August 2018.
The signals have ranged in frequency, but the most recent are 580 Megahurtz, 200 lower
than previously heard.
The lastest sounds detected come from very very far away, possibly billions of light
years.
The radio signals you are about to hear are not the most recent, but they are pretty unsettling...especially
when the thudding kicks in.... just listen...
Okay, and then some more....
It sounds like the plucking of a string, maybe?
Currently, scientists don't know where exactly the sounds are coming from, but they're trying
to pinpoint them.
A lot of people are saying that NASA knows where the signals are coming from and are
involved in some kind of elaborate cover-up.
SO that was the Top 10 Scary Nasa Urban Legends Part 2 - which did you think was the scariest?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below....
What are your thoughts on NASA?
Do you think they're hiding something?
Comments from part 1 Fury Destroyer Said: I don't believe in aliens,
I KNOW they exist.
Scorpion the Sphinx said: I don't know what is scarier - that we might not be alone in
the universe or that we might be the only intelligent life in the universe.?
Claire Baloyi said: Meh I still wanna work at Nasa - mateeee so do I!
What a dream job!
Encrypted Aqua said: One night I saw was sitting at my bed looking at the night sky and I saw
some lights that looked like a plane but... it was moving at Speed faster than any plane
or military jet and it stopped mid air instantly and sat there movement less for a good minute
than blasted away again.
It was an unidentified flying object.
It could have been an extra terrestrial space craft or it could have been a military test
I don't know of.
Nor will I ever know of?.
BLIMEY What a tale!
