tldr space history is really cool and arguing about it is stupid. thats it. thanks for coming everyone have a good night!

this was my monologue assignment for the first half of my 2D class this semester! really it would've made more sense to make it 'a story' with 'characters' and 'a plot' but when we were told we just had to make a short with a character talking a lot my immediate thought was 'hey I can talk a lot' and no one stopped me. the whole point of this class besides the lipsync practice was to get used to animating with rigs in harmony and i really did learn a lot in the 2 or so weeks i was Animating animating this so if the quality dips in parts you'd be pretty safe to say they were some of the earlier shots lol. i had a lot of fun though i understand why everyone jumps ship from animate as soon as they get their hands on toonboom

keep in mind im not a space historian im just an animation student with an opinion but this is a topic im suuuper super passionate about and having to condense it down to 2 minutes was a massive struggle, of course a bunch of stuff has been oversimplified but if you have any interest in the space race here's my Official Reading List where i first got a lot of this info!
- 'shoot for the moon' by james donovan
- 'rise of the rocket girls' by nathalia holt
- 'american moonshot' by douglas brinkley
i'd also recommend 'carrying the fire' by apollo 11 CM pilot michael collins which wasn't super relevant to this video but still really interesting and very entertaining, and 'the six' by loren grush which i was reading in the process of working on this!

this got super rambley but As I Said i can talk a lot about space!!! sound off in the comments whos your favourite cosmo/astronaut 🎤🎤
