0:37.2

The first time I discovered you was when you made that video about addressing the whole moon landing conspiracy.

0:43.8

You made the most incredible deep dive on all the points of the moon landing hoax, conspiracy, whatever you want to call it, that I've ever seen.

0:53.0

And you address them all. You bring a lot of information to it. And you make a very compelling case for every single argument. But before we get into all that, how tell us, tell me your background and how you got into all this stuff, the rocketry stuff and everything you do with your YouTube channel. Yeah. So, uh, yeah, I run a YouTube channel called Everyday Astronaut. And I've been doing that full time since 2017. Before that, I was a professional photographer. So that's actually why a lot of this moon stuff. And when people have, you know, topics about, you know, the shadows and the lighting and the stars and stuff, I'm always like, yes. This is like, this is in my ultimate wheelhouse, you know, but starting in 2017, I really just became obsessed with spaceflight. It actually all started, I bought like an old Russian space suit kind of as a joke in 2013 and started a art project. And that art project, a photography project was called everyday astronaut. And so I was like, I literally took the suit around the world.

1:45.0

I mean, I hiked the Great Wall China with the space suit and took pictures of me. Like, I don't know what I was doing really with it other than just I wanted to make something. This is kind of when Instagram was like, you know, everyone was trying to do some catchy Instagram thing. So that was kind of my like outlet as a professional photographer. I just wanted an art project. But I was also hiding, like I was doing series where I was hiding a lot of like Easter eggs and facts about like space flight, you know, and especially like spaceflight history. And I just fell in love with it. I went from like, I like, I like, I grew up with like the Lego space shuttle and like a space shuttle poster on the wall kind of thing, but it was way more into like cars and jets and music and whatever. You know, not necessarily like a space kid. You know, I was never like, my goal in life is going to, I'm going to go to space. You know, like, not like that. But all of a sudden, like during that like 2013, 14 process, I just fell in love with the whole thing just by doing the art project and also watching at the time, like,

2:35.2

that's when SpaceX was trying to land their Falcon 9 booster for the first time.

2:39.4

So I just started like watching some of that stuff. And I was like, this is awesome.

2:43.4

Like why, how can I learn more about this? And I was just, you know, going over like

2:47.7

on Reddit all the time and I was reading all the blogs and

2:50.8

watching every like everything I could absorb and there wasn't a lot out there. And I'm like,

2:56.2

I don't know. I don't I just make videos about this stuff because it's really exciting. And like

3:00.7

I feel like there's a lot of questions that I'm seeing asked often that I'm not getting good

3:05.0

answers to. So I just started making videos about how rockets work and that just pretty quickly.

3:11.6

So yourself taught, you just kind of like learned all this stuff on your own?

3:14.4

Yeah. Yeah.
