15100:07:12,129 --> 00:07:17,128You know, it's not all about pioneers.It's not all about families.

17900:08:38,585 --> 00:08:41,584Right? And so, all thesespace missions go off

18000:08:41,585 --> 00:08:43,584without a hitch, and NASA's like,

18100:08:43,585 --> 00:08:46,584We've done really well.Congrats, NASA.

18200:08:46,585 --> 00:08:48,584And they're pattingthemselves on the back.

18800:09:04,585 --> 00:09:07,584And NASA's like,Ugh, yeah I guess, Gus.

18900:09:07,585 --> 00:09:09,584Yeah, sure, Gus.

19000:09:09,585 --> 00:09:11,584- Gordo.- Oh, [bleep], sorry.

19100:09:11,585 --> 00:09:12,665- I'm an idiot.- That's okay.

19200:09:12,690 --> 00:09:14,584- All right, all right.- You're fine.

19300:09:14,585 --> 00:09:16,584So, Gordo goes on the launch pad.

19400:09:16,585 --> 00:09:19,584NASA'd be like,Hey, just like, really quick...

19500:09:19,585 --> 00:09:20,665Like, don't touch anything.

19600:09:20,690 --> 00:09:22,584NASA would completelycontrol everything.

19700:09:22,585 --> 00:09:25,584It was so bad that theastronauts felt like, um,

19800:09:25,585 --> 00:09:27,584spam in a can.[chuckles]

19900:09:27,585 --> 00:09:29,584Is what they referredto themselves as.

20000:09:29,585 --> 00:09:32,584So, anyway, he launchesinto space and it's like,

20100:09:32,585 --> 00:09:36,584Three, two, one, blast off.

20200:09:36,585 --> 00:09:39,585[mimics rocket firing]

20300:09:43,585 --> 00:09:46,584Are you shooting that...Okay, good.

20400:09:46,585 --> 00:09:48,584He gets up into spaceand everything's cool.

20500:09:48,585 --> 00:09:51,584He's like, I'm orbitingthe [bleep] Earth.

20600:09:51,585 --> 00:09:54,584- Oh, I'm sorry, I wa...- You can swear.

20700:09:54,585 --> 00:09:55,585No, my mom... I try not...

20800:09:55,610 --> 00:09:57,584I'm not...I'm gonna try not to swear.

20900:09:57,585 --> 00:10:00,584So, he's in space.He sends back the first

21000:10:00,585 --> 00:10:03,584TV images of a human,back to Earth.

21100:10:03,585 --> 00:10:07,584He has a little powderedroast beef dinner.

21200:10:07,585 --> 00:10:10,584He's just having a ball.

21300:10:10,735 --> 00:10:12,675So, he takes a nap.

21400:10:12,676 --> 00:10:16,556The first guy to ever sleep in space.

21500:10:16,592 --> 00:10:18,734He wakes up and he's like,It's good to be Gordo.

21600:10:18,735 --> 00:10:21,734And then, he's like,Oh, [bleep], no, it's not.

21700:10:21,735 --> 00:10:24,734Because... beep, beep.

21800:10:24,735 --> 00:10:30,735Oh... [bleep].I have no stabilization unit.

21900:10:31,605 --> 00:10:34,604Everyone in MissionControl is freaking out.

22000:10:34,605 --> 00:10:37,604They're like, Oh, God.This doesn't look good.

22100:10:37,605 --> 00:10:39,604And Gus Grissom islike, Bro, I love you.

22200:10:39,605 --> 00:10:41,604I'm gonna tell your wife you're a hero.

22300:10:41,605 --> 00:10:43,604Gordo's like, No, stop it.

22400:10:43,605 --> 00:10:47,084I'm gonna take controlover the spaceship.

22500:10:47,143 --> 00:10:49,605Gus is like, You're aboutto do something none of...

22600:10:49,630 --> 00:10:51,604no one has ever done before.

22700:10:51,605 --> 00:10:53,604And Gordo's like,Yeah, no, I know.

22800:10:53,605 --> 00:10:57,604So, just shut the [bleep] up, Gus.I've got control.

22900:10:57,605 --> 00:11:02,378He starts to take over manual control.

23000:11:02,392 --> 00:11:05,604But, at that moment, he losesradio signal with Gus Grissom.

23100:11:05,605 --> 00:11:09,604And so, he gets a radio signalover to his friend John Glenn,

23200:11:09,605 --> 00:11:12,604who's on the recoveryboat over in Japan.

23300:11:12,605 --> 00:11:15,604Then he's like, John Glenn, hey.It's me, Gordo.

23400:11:15,605 --> 00:11:19,604Um, I have absolutely nopower in my spacecraft.

23500:11:19,605 --> 00:11:21,604And I just wanna get back home

23600:11:21,605 --> 00:11:24,006because I'm a reallychill guy. It's me, Gordo.

23700:11:24,135 --> 00:11:25,604And he's like, Okay,here's what we're gonna do.

23800:11:25,605 --> 00:11:27,604And so, together they gothrough this checklist.

23900:11:27,605 --> 00:11:32,604Uh, put this thing up.Like, press this button.

24000:11:32,605 --> 00:11:34,604There's all these things he needs to do.

24100:11:34,605 --> 00:11:36,604But then Gordo's like,Oh, [bleep].

24200:11:36,605 --> 00:11:40,604Beep. And his carbondioxide meter's going off.

24300:11:40,605 --> 00:11:43,604And it's like,Beep, beep, you're [bleep].

24400:11:43,605 --> 00:11:45,604And he's like,Oh, my God, you're right.

24500:11:45,605 --> 00:11:46,725I'm totally [bleep] [bleep].

24600:11:46,750 --> 00:11:49,604But I...no, but he's chiller than that.

24700:11:49,605 --> 00:11:52,402No, hold on.He's way calmer than that.

24800:11:53,086 --> 00:11:57,604John Glenn, look, mycarbon dioxide meter's

24900:11:57,605 --> 00:12:01,604going off and, uh...It's like 100 degrees in my cabin.

25000:12:01,605 --> 00:12:03,604Which means he's [bleep] dying.

25100:12:03,605 --> 00:12:06,604But he's not beinga Debbie Downer about it.

25200:12:06,605 --> 00:12:09,604And he's like, I need to get to Earth.

25300:12:09,605 --> 00:12:13,604But, like, manual reentryhad never been done before.

25400:12:13,605 --> 00:12:15,604So, if he enters theEarth's atmosphere too steep,

25500:12:15,605 --> 00:12:18,604he's gonna blow up.So, he says, Okay.

25600:12:18,605 --> 00:12:21,604There's the Big Dipper.There's the Little Dipper.

25700:12:21,605 --> 00:12:25,604Gemini...He draws an axis on the window

25800:12:25,605 --> 00:12:29,604and uses the constellationsas his constant.

25900:12:29,605 --> 00:12:32,604And he says, This isgoing to be my angle

26000:12:32,605 --> 00:12:34,604at which I can enter Earth's atmosphere.

26100:12:34,605 --> 00:12:37,604Which I think is... pretty incredible.

26200:12:37,605 --> 00:12:41,604So, John Glenn is like, Okay.Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...

26300:12:41,605 --> 00:12:44,604Gordo's like,Let's just, like, do it, I'm ready.

26400:12:44,605 --> 00:12:48,604So, he fires, uh...[grunts]

26500:12:48,605 --> 00:12:50,264Uh, what does this mean?

26600:12:50,605 --> 00:12:52,604[laughs]

26700:12:52,605 --> 00:12:56,604[chuckling] What's it called whenthere's fire coming out of stuff?

26800:12:56,605 --> 00:12:59,604What... when it's like a fire...

26900:12:59,605 --> 00:13:00,604[groans]

27000:13:00,605 --> 00:13:01,604[laughs]

27100:13:01,605 --> 00:13:05,604He fires the rockets.

27200:13:05,605 --> 00:13:07,605[mimics rocket blast]

27300:13:08,605 --> 00:13:10,604He had a $5 wristwatch,and that's what he used

27400:13:10,605 --> 00:13:14,604to figure out how longto fire his rockets.

27500:13:14,605 --> 00:13:16,604[mimics rocket blast]

27600:13:16,605 --> 00:13:19,604Gordo is like, I'mentering Earth's atmosphere!

27700:13:19,605 --> 00:13:21,605[bleep] bravo to me!

27800:13:23,605 --> 00:13:25,605Wait. Oh.

27900:13:28,605 --> 00:13:32,604[both laugh]And he splashes down.

28000:13:32,605 --> 00:13:37,604And he has the mostaccurate splash-down, ever,

28100:13:37,605 --> 00:13:40,556in... NASA history.

28200:13:41,605 --> 00:13:44,845He's like, so chill. He's like,Hey, guys, I made it.

28300:13:44,870 --> 00:13:49,604I'm not surprised.It's me, Gordo.

28400:13:49,605 --> 00:13:51,605Big whoop.

28500:13:56,455 --> 00:14:00,454- Gordo changed the game.- Great.

28600:14:00,455 --> 00:14:02,455He had a $5 wristwatch!

28700:14:04,755 --> 00:14:07,254- All right, Mark.- I'm listening.

28800:14:07,255 --> 00:14:10,254- Well, you're gonna do some talking.- Hello.

29200:14:17,651 --> 00:14:19,424- Yep.- Yeah, now you're woken up.

29300:14:19,425 --> 00:14:20,424Here he comes.

29500:14:22,425 --> 00:14:23,424- Ready?- Which camera?

29600:14:23,425 --> 00:14:28,424- Action.- Hi, I'm Mark Gagliardi.

29700:14:28,425 --> 00:14:30,424[glass crashes] Todaywe're gonna talk about

29800:14:30,425 --> 00:14:34,228Bass Reeves.[laughs]

29900:14:36,555 --> 00:14:39,554Bass Reeves is born as a slave.

30000:14:39,555 --> 00:14:43,554One night,Bass Reeves and his master

30100:14:43,555 --> 00:14:48,554get in an argument over a poker game.Bass Reeves...

30200:14:48,555 --> 00:14:55,312punches his owner in the face.And Bass Reaves thinks to himself,

30300:14:55,406 --> 00:14:59,554Oh, [bleep], you guys, Ijust coldcocked my boss.

30400:14:59,555 --> 00:15:02,554Listen, let's be honest, my owner.

30500:15:02,555 --> 00:15:05,554This is probably notgonna be good for me.

30600:15:05,555 --> 00:15:11,272So, Bass Reeves hightails itto the Indian Territories of Oklahoma.

30700:15:11,452 --> 00:15:15,554So, Bass Reeves winds up livingamong the Seminole Nation,

30800:15:15,555 --> 00:15:19,366learning the language of allof these indigenous peoples.

30900:15:19,474 --> 00:15:21,554And trained in theways of Native American

31000:15:21,555 --> 00:15:26,057- tracking and hunting.- Hmm, awesome.

31500:15:38,705 --> 00:15:40,704the whole of this, butdon't worry about that.

31600:15:40,705 --> 00:15:44,704In 1875 the U.S. is changing.

31700:15:44,705 --> 00:15:47,704Taming the Wild West andall that kinda [bleep].

31800:15:47,705 --> 00:15:51,704U.S. Marshal James Fagan knewthat this was dangerous work.

31900:15:51,705 --> 00:15:58,288He needed the guy that full ondances with wolvesed in that area.

32000:15:58,323 --> 00:16:00,299[laughs]So, Fagan goes to Reeves.

32100:16:00,334 --> 00:16:04,019Hey, I have 75,000 square miles

32200:16:04,020 --> 00:16:07,704to cover to bring bad guys to justice.

32300:16:07,845 --> 00:16:11,844And Bass Reeves said,Listen, I'm ambidextrous,

32400:16:11,845 --> 00:16:15,844I can shoot a gun with both hands.

32500:16:15,845 --> 00:16:20,245I'm 6'2" and 390 pounds.

32600:16:20,845 --> 00:16:24,807I'm gonna be the guythat keeps you safe.

32700:16:24,845 --> 00:16:27,845The only thing I can say to you is...

32900:16:31,845 --> 00:16:34,844 There he goes on the floor

33000:16:34,845 --> 00:16:36,844- Derek?- Mm-hmm?

33100:16:36,845 --> 00:16:40,844- Take my hand.- Good night, then.

33200:16:40,845 --> 00:16:42,845Night. So...

33300:16:44,845 --> 00:16:49,844So, Bass Reeves is working as aU.S. Marshal, picking up bad guys.

33400:16:49,845 --> 00:16:53,844So, one of the bad guythings that he does is,

33500:16:53,845 --> 00:16:56,844he dresses himself up as an old beggar

33600:16:56,845 --> 00:17:01,844at the homestead ofa couple of bad guys' mother.

33700:17:01,845 --> 00:17:05,844He says, I'm just a poor old beggar.

33800:17:05,845 --> 00:17:08,844I just need a placeto stay for the night.

33900:17:08,845 --> 00:17:12,844So she gives Bass Reevesa place to spend the night.

34000:17:12,845 --> 00:17:14,845As soon as the two outlaws fell asleep,

34100:17:15,845 --> 00:17:20,844Bass Reeves pulled down his shawl,grabs his six shooter.

34200:17:20,845 --> 00:17:23,940He says, The Bass w...hold on.

35100:17:46,697 --> 00:17:49,024I'll tell you this whole story, hold on.

35200:17:49,059 --> 00:17:51,844This is how big a badass Bass Reeves is.

35300:17:51,845 --> 00:17:55,844The Brunter Brothers,another group of outlaws,

35400:17:55,845 --> 00:18:00,844ambushed him at gunpoint.Bass Reeves kept his cool,

35500:18:00,845 --> 00:18:03,844turned to the firstBrunter Brother and said,

35700:18:06,845 --> 00:18:10,844And as that brother was trying tofigure out the date for the day,

35800:18:10,845 --> 00:18:13,844Bass Reeves shootsthe first two brothers.

35900:18:13,845 --> 00:18:16,844And then coldcocked the other brother
