Every Space Station Comparison: 50 Years of Evolution (3D Animation) 

ay its good that gateway isnt fully delayed

It reminds me of elite dangerous

It is obviously a homage to 2001.

@@4i4oGosho07 It was originally done in the 2001: A Space Odyssey movie from Stanly Kubric, from 1965. Long, long before even the original Elite games, which it probably inspired. Look into it, it was the inspiration for many movies, TV series and games.

yeah its so sad that voyager will never exist cause that company is a massive scam.. hopefully someday we can see a similar design become a reality though, edit: and by similar design i mean one that actually makes sense, especially the docking part

@@rogerwilco2 Kind of, not really. 2001 was filmed that way because a rotating ring is the only practical way to produce artificial gravity in space. Which, of course, means any real space station with gravity is going to look basically the same.

I like the way you think

Best comment :D

Yess

ROFL 🤣

You know Noone is stopping them calling it that

If you can find it, and have the money, Revell did a very nice 1/144 scale model of the ISS 20 years ago. There are even mods to add a docked 1/144 shuttle.

I would have liked to see a time lapse of the modular stations (Mir and ISS) being assembled. The shuttle could have docked to the final version of Mir, while only being present during the assembling of the ISS, with Dragon/Soyuz only remaining for the final frame (thats when the iROSA arrays and Nauka are added, etc) Not complain, this was absolutely amazing, but I missed the shuttle aswell. Also, have the axiom station start attached to the ISS.

We can probably consider the space shuttle as a "station" since Apollo-Soyuz is Included in the Video.. The Shuttle carried Spacelab in it's payload bay which essentially is a pocket space station

@@stahlhelm5755 Everyone misses that! The Shuttle was it's own space station when it wasn't building them.

Тогда логичнее использовать Буран. Для него на станции Мир был предусмотрен стыковочный узел. И он был частью всей концепции.

Gateway is definitely happening, can't speak to the rest

Axiom and Orbital Reef probably, but Voyager is a total stretch

@@ParanormalCacti the gateway will happen, just not the date they are proposing now, realistically it would be around 2030

No shit why would it not be 🙄

@@mariasirona1622 I came across many ISS videos with the configuration 10 years ago

@@SusEngineSFS oke

hi sus wait what😐

Mind blown

The US was working on space stations as well, but initially they were only for military use. The U2 and the ICBM made the program obsolete before the first station was completed and launched.

The US made a prototype of a space station during the apollo era in the 60s, but it was uninhabited

В то же время у населения не было туалетной бумаги

@@ullllll Зато сейчас в туалетную бумагу можно заматываться.

The Russians were also the first ones to launch a human into space. (Yuri Gargarin)

the only one of the "planned" that I look at and expect to see in the future is Starlab. Especially when I look at the timeframes. Voyager in particular makes me laugh, they aren't going to be able to finish something that large and complicated in 5 years. Not when the first piece isn't even in orbit yet

@@KMCA779 Spinning Space Stations are a joke as well. They've been tested and were found to be an awful way to handle artificial gravity. They are also way too difficult and expensive to be worth it. Anything space related needs to not only be reliable and capable of being built, but also not cost absurd amounts (its expensive enough as is)

@@KMCA779 Voyager is a joke. The other are a little more Serious.

Yea I lol'ed at the last one. It'll never happen, at least not by 2027.

@@KMCA779 First module for ROSS already in metal (not finished yet of course, btw).

Well, they proved to be reliable.

@@molybdaen11 Surprisingly, and unlike most of the other stuff made in USSR/Russia

@@jymmykill1611 Oh they had a lot of failed starts. But they choosed a series and figured out its bugs over the jears. They simply already paid they prize.

@@jymmykill1611 Russians/USSR are renowned for reliability. Just because they have failures does not mean they also can't be reliable, their tanks, rifles, aircraft, etc are all designed to take a kicking and keep on ticking. Or have you never heard of an AK47 before?

@@jymmykill1611 Большинства?.. Почти вся военная, промышленная и особенно хозяйственная сфера СССР едва ли не лучше, чем современные аналоги. Не говоря уже о сталилитейной продукции. Ключи, ножи, ложки, мясорубки - всё это в СССР было примерно такого же качества, каким сейчас гордятся лучшие компании США и Германии. Вот только стоило копейки и выпускалось десятками миллионов ежегодно. Не надо судить о всей продукции настолько огромной страны, по паре наиболее неудачных автомобилей (которыми Россия никогда и не славилась).

It's a shame more people don't know about orbital assembly Corporation and their Voyager and Von Braun class stations

@@deltoid77-nick well since OAC is a scam organisation the less attention the better IMO.

It's just a shame that Orbital Assembly is a scam and all their "projects" are hopeless dreams.

No surprise. It’s a scam. Good CGI visualizations is all it is and will ever be.

@@hubertley939 The only thing they can do is inventing cool names. Nobody would do buissiness with them.

Well, in 1969 they planned the Lunar Gateway and we don't have it yet. Maybe we need more 4 or 6 generations to see Voyager Space Station be more than a dream.

I'm more pessimistic that we would be lucky to see more than one of those planned stations in this decade. I expect delays almost certain for every single one of them and everything except lunar gate have a considerable chance (for some very high chance) of cancellation.

Building the ISS went on for decades. And in comparison to the other planned space stations, it is pretty small. So I think, even the Lunar Gateway won't be finished until the end of the 2030s. Everything beyond the Lunar Gateway is just dreaming. The german word „Luftschlösser“ fits for those future stations.

@@diariodefoto if they started construction on voyager station now they wouldnt be done for 40 years, and thats assuming nothing goes wrong. its on such an insane scale that by the time it is done it would be outdated.

It depends on the efforts AND resources put into it. If a cold war breaks out between China and the US, something probable considering that China will overcome the US economy by 2030, this things can be achieved in the span of a decade ..

Hello Jesus! Fancy seeing you here!👏

Yeah so was that thing you did to make more fish and bread….tell me Jesus can you do that with tacos?

Jesus aproves

Even Jesus agrees!

Can you teach me how to walk on water?

Yeah just my thoughts. Anything depicting itself with a Space X Starship is to be taken with a massive grain of salt. Its kinda sad how much money and hence forth potential is wasted by such Investor Scams

You're seeing things. The only one taking something "so seriously" (I imagine you saying that in Al Gore's voice) is you, with this video.

@@JuteTwine I'm out, you win. That's some next level edgelording, and the funniest shit I've read in weeks.

This description sounds like a description for some corporation from the fantasy universe of the Cyberpunk 2077 sample or something like that. I think it's fair to count on these time frame :)

Starship is a totally different breed of spaceships from the usual NASA/Roscosmos stuff

​​@@HenryLiu7 and yet they can't get one into orbit without the booster or starship blowing up..

Hope not

Thanks a lot! I learned Maya at school, but I switched to blender recently.

@@REAL_SPACE Hope some day your channel will become huge, good luck

@@REAL_SPACE the voyager space station kinda reminded me of the ark from the 100, lets hope the world doesnt get destroyed by icbms launched from all over by rogue ai, the ark started with 400, and the voyager station is gonna hold 400 passengers, lets hope the world doesnt get destroyed

The video uses either Salyut docking vehicles or Apollo command modules from start to finish, they give you the scale.

@@krashd Not exactly accurate, I also saw crew dragon and the Sierra Space craft in there...not to mention Starship.

I remember playing that version back in the late 80's and early 90's!

That was probably an homage to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey from 1968. That's where it was first used together with shots of a space station. It's been used many time since. Partly as an homage, but also because the waltz melody goes well with the imagery of objects slowly spinning in space.

And is still being done in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, it's current incarnation.

No doubt, unfortunately it wasn't given to him

Almost everything we want to do in space could have been done by the late 1950s had the money been provided. BuT nO!

But whatever, if no one's imagination has been fired up, then tomorrow's engineers are fewer in number and the future takes longer to arrive.

Nope, there was only one Station, but the Crew missions where called Skylab 2 to 4. You probeply remerbered that

*That sounds terrifying.* T__T

Yeah it did exist, it was just purposely deorbited after it was decommissioned by NASA

Even more impressive, it was put in orbit with a single Saturn V launch, whereas Mir was modular

Well only humans are only stupid enough to do it first not even the evie bot cannot thought of doing like this stupid before humans

Agree Paper project for most.

And is just as fictional

Spinning artificial gravity was proven many years ago to just not be a viable way to handle gravity. Not only is it absurdly expensive to bull off, but the benefits dont outweigh the cons. NASA long looked into artificial gravity and came to the conclusion that just making astronauts work out was far better then trying to simulate any sort of gravity, especially considering spinning gravity isn't really anything like gravity on earth.

The Blue Danube is a little bit older than 2001: A Space Odyssey. ;)

@@Rigel_Chiokis Oh I know, the scene was set so nicely with that piece of music.

​@@Memeieli If you got to the wikipedia page on artificial gravity you will notice a very interesting paper in reference (4). First we need to differentiate between costs when you build something on Earth and launch it to orbit and building something in space and putting it in orbit. It is widely accepted that if we want to have any reasonable advancement in our endeavors in space we need to set up infrastructure in space. So your claim about it being absurdly expensive ceases to be when we set up infrastructure up there. We don't even need to source 100% of our resources and parts in space. You need to start with the more heavy ones (steel frames , plates ,etc). Then you could also look into shipping in orbit certain more "rare" resources that are needed in smaller quantities and build the parts in space. Generally high tech chips and the like require clean rooms (something easier implemented in space) as well as vacuums. Second we have little actual data whether it is worth having 24/7 7 days a week artificial gravity or just have intermittent artificial gravity paired with exercises. NASA came to the conclusion that building a space station or rocket on Earth that is capable for artificial gravity isn't worth the effort compared to the periods astronauts spend in space. Lastly as the paper highlights we honestly have a way hgher tolerance to higher rpm than previously thought. If you can source the heaviest part of a space station in space then just bulding a longer space station for lower rpm becomes feasible. Not to mention that you probably don't even need a human to experience 24/7 artificial gravity. In that scenario you don't the whole ship or station to have access to artificial gravity. Then working in shifts allows for more room to spare.

10 additional years and maybe SpaceX could do it. But the Voyager Station people are just some guys who have exactly nothing. Like, not even a place to do any work.

@@MareTranquil more like 110years....SpaceX is busy right now with their own SNAFUS, sorta buying Twitter and not running down motorcycles on highways with their sister company.

Voyager is a scam. Literally just one guy looking for people to make free animations for him while he lives off of patreon money while doing not even the slightest bit of work towards any of his promises. Considering for how long he has been doing this I have trouble feeling bad for people who still fall for his BS. It's like they just refuse to see it.

@@STho205 maybe 110 for that company lol. But a ring station is definitely practical within the next few decades. But eeeh, not as big as the Voyager.

Once Orbital Assembly Corporation hires an engineer, they will have made a massive step forward to realizing this concept. I mean realizing that the concept is nonsense. But we have to admit, the company has excellent CGI experts, and all that’s needed is a change of physics and it can be done.

It will certainly be an interesting experiment. I can't imagine what it would feel like to have my feet experiencing more gravity than my head or to have it increase when I lie down. I've a feeling we're going to come up with a whole new brand of nausea. Gravity sickness? It was a while ago and kind of vague but I think I heard that attempting to simulate gravity with less than a kilometer radius would result in motion sickness of some kind.

@@immortalsofar5314 I'm sure there will be some kind of training to deal with that kind of "gravity" and a lot of these people won't even notice the strain on their bodies.

wdym? Axiom station is quite well known, after all it's going to be built while attached to the ISS. But I've never heard of the Pioneer or Starlab stations

Well I follow lots of space stuff, and I haven’t heard anything about Pioneer. On the other hand, Starlab, Axiom and Orbital reef are all real and will happen soon. They were part of NASA’s CLD (Commercial LEO destinations) Contract, basically a contract to design and build new space Stations to replace the ISS which will hit the end of its lifetime in the 2030’s. The Russian orbital station will likely not happen due to their economy at the moment, and Gateway will definitely happen, as it’s a key part of the Artemis program and Humans return to the moon

Скорее всего проект ещё сильно поменяется, если вообще состояться.

@@maks8751 не сильно, состоится. МКС будет жить до 2028-го года, потом начнут программу затопления станции.

As I suggested above, they should produce a similar video showing the 1950s & 1960s designs.

@@Caseytify Could start even further back, Herman Noordung published plans for space station in 1929

ROSS - it is planned, funded, second module (dock) launched for tests to ISS year ago, while first module almost ready.

Starship is not a spaceplane
