Science fans, get ready for an exciting experience, because NASA is in the process of uploading decades of archival footage to YouTube. So whether you’re a fan of science, archival footage, or need something to just sit back and relax to, NASA has got you covered.
As Vice reports, footage from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, has long been inaccessible to the casual viewer for some time. Now, the AFRC have begun to upload 500 videos that have been dubbed good enough for public viewing. At the time of writing, they’ve managed to upload over 300 videos; more than enough to quench your thirst for space flight.
These videos span a wide history of aeronautical exploration, with countless videos documenting test flights, and air craft developments, including footage of the X1, which is best known as the first aircraft to reach supersonic speed.
As Vice notes though, the footage was available online before, but in a much-more inaccessible and overlooked corner of the Internet. Now, the AFRC’s social media team are taking a much more visible approach by uploading these videos to the ubiqituous video sharing service that is YouTube.
Check out a small assortment of the videos below.
