Working alongside my friend Cary Martynuik (the legendary Luna Cognita) on the Secret Space UFOs films has been an absolutely incredible ride over the years. Right now, I’m in the lab restoring some of his brilliant original works and gearing up to release some never-before-seen footage of lunar and space anomalies that will completely blow your mind.
Cary is a true fighter. He’s navigated the incredibly tough road of surviving multiple cerebral accidents since his original videos first dropped back in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, while he can decode the deepest mysteries of the cosmos, conquering Google’s automated password recovery system proved to be an insurmountable terrestrial challenge. He got completely locked out of his original YouTube and Gmail accounts. We tried everything short of a digital séance to get him back in, but alas, the tech overlords won that battle. When creating Secret Space UFOs I went through his old hard drive that he sent me and worked to restore much of his work into that documentary series at UHD quality. At the time a distributor asked that his work be only available in the SSU documentaries so we agreed to get the old sequences taken off of YouTube.
The good news is that he has a brand-new email set up! If you want to reach out, send some support, or talk space anomalies, you can hit him up here: [email protected].
Please feel free to like, comment, and share the upcoming releases. Just a quick house rule: keep the vibes respectful. If you’re feeling toxic, kindly pack up that negative energy and launch it directly into a black hole.

During Apollo lunar surface operations,
one of the primary physical complaints the astronauts had
involved the near constant level of abuse that their hands
and fingers were subjected to while they were conducting each EVA.
Man, I got the sorest hands in the world right now.
The problem was that any time an astronaut tried to grab or manipulate
something with their hands while out on the lunar surface,
they were forced to physically squeeze against
the 3.8 psi internal pressure of the space suit.
Which was fighting their efforts by trying to force
their EV pressure gloves into an open hand position.
Let me tell you, my hands from that drill,
yeah, I'm sure they already know I've been...
During the final three Apollo missions, the Extended Stage J missions,
the LMP and Commander conducted three
separate EVAs on the lunar surface,
and throughout the course of those three EVAs,
the design limitations imposed by the pressure gloves
actually resulted in significant physical
damage being done to their hands and fingers.
Fingers.
This issue was a well-known problem by the time of Apollo 17,
and it was appreciated that little could be done
by the astronauts to prevent physical damage to their hands
from occurring during lunar surface EVA operations.
I can't feel it.
Might as well,
uh, take it easy.
Get it, but I don't think I can. My hands are so tired.
In addition to hand fatigue, the very act of gripping objects
with the pressurized EV gloves also caused the pressure points
on the astronauts' hands to rub against the interior glove bladder.
And over the course of an EVA or three.
This constant rubbing against
the interior glove bladder caused the astronaut's hands
to suffer from chafing on the knuckles,
the webbing between the fingers and the fingers themselves,
including significant damage to the fingernails and fingertips.
Mission control
was not unsympathetic
to the suffering
that Cernan and Schmidt
had to endure,
and the astronauts tried to put on a brave face,
but it was pretty clear that their
exhausted hands were in rough shape.
Okay Gino, and how
are your hands
doing? Can't imagine.
Listen to how happy Commander Gene Cernan
is after the end of their third and final EVA.
When, once back inside the pressurized lunar module,
he reads the suit removal checklist
and sees that he can finally take
his pressurized EV gloves off to give his hands some relief.
An extremely relevant portion
of the evidence we'll be examining
here focuses on testimony
published after the missions from Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan
and Harrison Jack Schmidt.
These quotes specifically address
the exact extent to the physical damage
Cernan and Schmidt's hands and fingers were subjected to
During their 22 hours and 4 minutes they spent working outside
in the Taurus-Littrow Valley during their three moonwalks.
No, no, no.
I'm starting to speak now.
Thank you.
