To all those new to videos about NASA. Please do not feed the trolls commenting about fake footage, air bubbles, etc. Remember that all those anti-NASA conspiraturds ARE trolls who do not believe their own BS. They are only interested in spamming and harassment.
It is so depressing that most videos about space have those spammers that keep coming up with fake evidence just because they don’t have any real way to prove it.
This is the most important mission of the human race we have. Shows the selfishness that it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I am a supplier to NASA and I’m proud of it beyond words.
I was like "aw,they are going to meet with him before launch and get to say the last goodbyes" and then it hit me.. they are talking to him through a glass box and microphones... F* that's depressing.
esgaton it is within Kazakhstan but the city of Baikanur is fully governed by Russia which you can tell by Russian police walking around there (or just by wikipedia)
Baikonur, the launch site and the entire infrastructure is under the jurisdiction of Roscosmos. But the Baikonur cosmodrome is in Kazakhstan. After the collapse of the USSR, Russia leased the territory. If you want to look at the cosmodromes in Russia then you need to visit the : Plesetsk,Kapustin Yar and Vostochny. :-)
In fact, there are many different indigenous peoples in Russia, some of them look like "Chinese" and some like Turks. Here are some examples: ribalych.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/5133.jpg sakhalife.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/1sha0099.jpg народы.рф/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bashkiri222.jpg fb.ru/misc/i/gallery/17625/1491107.jpg
I really enjoyed the series but AGAIN it would be more fair to give credit to the fellow Russian astronaut Mikhail Kornienko and his story. In my opinion It could be much deeper and historically accurate film for the next generations.
It is to take advantage of the higher rotational velocity of the earths surface, tangential to the surface, at the equator. The rotational velocity at the equator is, roughly speaking, 1000mph. This decreases as you move away from the equator towards either pole and, at the poles, equals zero. This "free boost" closer to the equator allows for less fuel consumption during a launch. The European Space Agency's launch site in French Guiana on the northeast coast of South America probably takes advantage of this fact the most, but it is also why the Kennedy Space Center is located about as far south as you can get in the US.
Paul Fisher its to ensure they don’t spread any diseases while they are in the space station because its really easy for a virus to spread in an enclosed environment
Manned missions to Mars are a dead end because of radiation and the dream that we will be an interplanetary species belongs to science fiction. Rovers not Astronauts will learn more about Mars and those that might go there then return will be dying of radiation by the time they breath the air on earth again.
With current technology, yes its hardly survivable. But I always look at hoe far we have come. Imagine being in the middle ages. Who would have thought there that one day, we would be driving cars, flying planes, and going to space with rockets - even living in space for an extended period of time? One day, someone will walk on the moon. If you said that, they would have said its impossible and that will never happen. Amd yet, here we are. So yes, some things are impossible right now, but I believe that we can find solutions to all these problems. We made so many impossibilities possible, why not a Mars mission?
+JesseJFree Yes! Because two countries who ultimately hate each other and once sought to exterminate each other with nuclear weapons are now working together just to pull the wool over the American public's eyes. Good job!
