TheSpaceBucket is for other space enthusiasts who want to stay updated on different companies and important moments within the industry. I consistently make videos and write about everything space-related including SpaceX, NASA, Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Sierra Space, and much more.
I think we are witness to the end of space exploration..... we saw how NASA cut backs set rocket engine design back decades after Apollo ended... funding cuts are a on going battle that just seems harder to fight of as American debt grows... Russia has other focuses, and China can only ever make small innovations since it does not disseminate its discoveries so as what is learnt can be built upon. Elon bless him is only one man, so when he eventually hangs up the gloves, it is a spiral downward from there. I know we have more pressing social issues, and we seem on a trajectory to want them all fixed before spending elsewhere, forgetting social spending is a bottomless pit that can never be fixed.
What a waste of valuable resources that are already in space. Build a TUG to put in orbit around the moon or mars. Then it could be used as an orbital platform or a resource for parts and Equipment. The space station is an historic object. It cost billions to launch and build not to mention the dangerous chemicals that could remain in our atmosphere from the deorbit burning. Another option is to just send it to the sun for destruction it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there this would keep it from burning up in our atmosphere.
Given the cost of putting that much mass into space, why don’t they shove it to the moon!? If there is a moonbase in the future, it will be useful raw materials and perhaps some value in whatever survives.
WOW! 3 Billion a year to pay for CGI, filming in crystal clear pools, flying the puke plane for live events and paying nations to have their satellite data pass through JPL’s super computers before passing off to those nations. Yup, It certainly costs a fortune to maintain a lie.
no no no! we can't let this happen! we spend so much more on war and exploitation, this is by far more special and precious! operating it is so important, and if they really can't keep doing it, make it a space museum. don't lose this, its too important.
A. That wasn’t a literal Facebook satellite lmao. It was a communications payload for AMOS. B. That was in 2016. To date SpaceX has flown 322 missions since then and all have been successful. Falcon 9 is the most reliable rocket ever developed with triple success streak of the next best (Soyuz) and is the most flown U.S. rocket in history Falcon Heavy recently completed its 10th successful mission. In addition AMOS 6 was onboard a falcon 9 block 4 an older model that hasn’t flown since 2018. SpaceX’s Block 5 falcon 9 (the one with black sections) has a 100% success rate with well over 200 missions under its belt (probably closer to 290 I don’t have the actual figure of the top of my head)
@@weekiely1233 1) who cares if it was facebooks satellite or not. It's someone's and not SpaceX's... It was to provide Internet for Africa. They facts blew it up for their starlink.... Or they are incompetent. Pick one 2)tldr... Stop simping for Elon.
I definitely see SpaceX contacting several museums and states and getting them to pay like 5 or 10% more per contributor and they will get access to the space station once they bring the whole thing down in several starships
Let’s follow the money, how many government people own Boeing stocks. Are there any government people taking stuff from Boeing and or there other companies?
To quote a former NASA environmentalist. "The Solution To Pollution Is Dilution". Just spread it out all over the Earth. Can we do this with nuclear waste, so that we can have more electricity for air-conditioning in California?
Call me a sceptic, but removing safeties like shielding between engines sounds reckless. Also, the continued engine failures don't instill confidence. Maybe continue to push the engine to extremes for the sake of a few percent performance is not the way forawrd?
Okay, I’m jumping on the Boeing-bash train. If Boeing keeps launching Starliners but fails to bring them back, maybe they could be cobbled together into a space station of sorts. Regarding deorbiting the ISS, you can’t tell me there aren’t any engineers at SpaceX dreaming up scenarios to bring it back on a Starship or two. Even if it never happens. I mean, I’m thinking about it, and I’m about as original as wood.
So I took the CC from the video and run it through a few interesting websites and the results are: Total websites checked: 7 Websites that say it's AI generated: 6 Websites that say it's human generated: 1
in the original specs for starliner, wasn't is intended to be able to maneuver the iss when attached, and ultimately be able to deorbit iss? part of the design of the detachable service module was so that it could carry more maneuvering propellent and house more powerful maneuvering thrusters than otherwise. maybe i am getting that wrong, or just dreamed it.
