    The fact you can watch this for free is nuts, the animation and narration is something I expect of a proper studio. Massive props to your effort and time spent!

    one thing i would like to commend you for as a russian guy: great narration throughout launch preparations. it&apos;s so rare too see this given many english creators choose hoax voice actors that try to imitate the accent and pronounce everything wrong. it was a pleasant surprise to see not only that, but some of the comms that are often overlooked regarding the vostok 1 mission. thank you so much for this masterpiece of a video

    Extremely under-rated channel, Absurd that youtube wont put you onto other peoples front page.<br>Edit: It seems like this channel would benefit from a &quot;NO AI&quot; Label, be it on the thumbnails or in the video description somewhere. People are convinced this was generated in some form, When it clearly has the consistency of an actual human creator.

    I felt like a criminal after watching this for free. The amount of effort it takes, to do all the research and learn the skills to create this, is insane. This is an absolute masterpiece and deserves way more recognition. Thanks for making this very important piece of history ❤️

    You and your collaborators should be extremely proud. What a wonderful deep dive into the rocket, the spacecraft, and especially the pad—details I’ve never seen before. Thank you for what must have been a huge amount of work. Just spectacular.

    When I saw the video I was like &quot;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=danwRbUUadU&amp;t=90">1:30</a> hours, lets see this better be good&quot;. What felt like 15min later I finished the video, and 1,5h have passed. Extremly well made documentary, highly recommandable to anyone interested in spaceflight, and I keep my fingers crossed your channel blows up in subs, you definitly earned it!
