NASA has released hours upon hours of archival footage

For all you space nerds out there, NASA has released hours upon hours of archival footage on Flight Research Center’s YouTube channel. There’s this footage of the wingless M2-F1 “flying bathtub” being pulled into launch by 1963 Pontiac Catalina (watch, runtime: 0:33). Or how about Neil Armstrong before his lunar fame test-piloting a Lunar Landing Research Vehicle (watch, runtime: 0:38). Or what happens to a hypersonic jet when it hits Mack 6.7. speed (watch, runtime: 0:47)?

Wired Magazine has a wonderful explainer for some the stuff on the channel.
