What I'm watching this week on YouTube: space videos

I find it absolutely amazing how much "we" have accomplished in space exploration.

It wasn't until I started watching space videos on YouTube that I learnt about many of the amazing missions that were undertaken in the 1960s and 1970s -- such as the first Mars landings.

There are many excellent YouTube channels that cover the history of space exploration, but one channel stands out for its amazing story-telling, editing and music selection.

Homemade Documentaries is a one-man show. On his about page, Jackson Tyler says that he started collecting space-related videos and resources at age 14, and originally started editing videos together for his own convenience, and this grew into a hobby and his YouTube channel.

Despite the amazing quality videos on the channel, and almost universal praise in the comments section, the channel has "only" just under 50,000 subscribers. That is still an amazing achievement, but the channel is definitely worthy of millions of subscribers. It appears to be yet another victim of the YouTube algorithm.
