I don't know if you heard, but the FAA is letting SpaceX continue their Falcon 9 launches while continuing with the investigation. Maybe you should cover that tomorrow.
While I agree Elon is almost certainly above the law with how much money he has, the company has literally set the curve on rocket safety… there is not a company or country on earth than can beat them in this regard currently. So they should have that taken into account when making decisions on weather or not they should be allowed to fly the falcon rocket. If the falcon rocket is not safe to fly into space by extension nothing is
@@jayhuang7747it's not law per se it's regulations which the agency involved has complete control over. In this case there was no risk to public safety so they can decide to allow the license tweak. We see this all the time in aircraft, otherwise we'd have most planes constantly grounded as each issue that occurs on a daily basis stops flights. Space travel needs to transition across to a more airline based model eventually.
Many years ago, either NASA or Russia conducted tests on rotational artificial gravity and found that most people eventually get motion sickness. I believe Scott Manley showcased this study and the problem with creating artificial gravity. How does SpaceX solve this problem?
You guys need to tweak your AI narration software. I couldn't believe my ears when at the ~1:30 point it pronounced the word "habitable" with the accent on the 2nd syllable (ha-BIT-ah-bul). I looked the word up and even one which had both U.S. and G.B. pronunciation put the accent on the 1st syllable. You need to fix that. Another observation: your animation shows people operating in the SpaceX space station wearing space suits. That is wrong. Look at the pictures/video from the ISS and you will see astronauts dressed in regular clothing. Even Wilmore and Williams had gotten out of their IVA suits before they boarded the ISS. I don't know where you get your animations but that is a glaring error.
Regarding the VAST space station concept. What prevents configuring the module to the size and shape of the fairings? Total volume increases, perhaps by half or more, and allowable mass may increase as well. Exterior components such as solar arrays, antennae, Starlink panels could be added after reaching orbit. Potentially, exterior work could be performed by robots, either tele-operated or autonomous.
Whoever does your research really screwed the pooch on the last space station mentioned in the video. According to the Vast website, Vast's space station will be called "Haven-1". The station itself will be flown to orbit on a Falcon 9 booster with crews (4 person) transported in Dragon spacecraft. I don't understand why you are so enamored of the Haven-1. It is the smallest of the station proposals and does not appear to be intended for long term operation since to date only 2 30 day missions are planned.
Blue Balls Origin can't even get one rocket into orbit so they are a joke! I submit that Space=X should build the space station shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey and be the heroes of the world! That is what a space station should look like!
Starlink can be put on any station or rocket. Starship already does. Bozo is so secretive and slow, it is hard to predict but he did get the expensive joyride running and finally got the engine into production. I don't quite trust the SpaceX description. The illustration does not look at all like it was done by SpaceX. Bent modules? What's all that other stuff? Balloon modules have to prove they don't pop when a 15KMPH debris or space rock hits them.
Will low earth orbit become a bowling alley for incoming asteroids? I'm wondering how large a risk this would be? Almost certain to happen given enough time.
I'll go for the SpaceX Starship Wheel Station!!!. BO? Unlikely at best. So Vast has Starlink and is almost ready. Has any testing been done? Probably not.
If the starships were linked together they could all be pieces of a larger more interplanetary ship. Much like building the enterprise piece at a time.🤔 The ships would already have engines🤔
Orbital Reef is an unrealized opportunity and always will be as long as Jeff Bozos and Blue-Ball Origin and Boing-Boing are involved. (Unless of course someone needs sued.)
With no starliner and bezos suing spacex I would not trust anything Blue origin makes balloons in space ya nice pice of space junk and pop lol Nezos should stick to packages !!
All ISS certified life support systems on ISS are Russian and after 50yrs holds all the records with 12 astronauts, after 20yrs on ISS US still does not have a certified life support its experimental and is 400 liters a year less sufficient than EU LSS, US needs more cargo of water to resupply its life support.
Excellent stuff bro, go Elon, go America. Boeing , ULA , Blue Origin , need to work towards expanding space stuff and stop trying to stop Elon . Lead follow or get the hell out of the way
Orbiting habitats are meant to be just that. No need for earth to space hardware. Show what is a real orbiting outpost. Plus, returning to earth could be in steps. Virgin Galactic spacecraft need no heat shielding to return. Dock and transfer as they go up and back down. The math works
@@davidhawkins7138 If an orbiting "space taxi" object uses powered decent to slow enough to leave orbit above the friction of the atmosphere, it can dock with the ballistic object coming up and transfer objects / people and then the orbiter can reboot using their refillable fuel tanks to get back into orbit. Again, the math works.
@@colonbina1 Not to mention the fact that the ISS structure is so fragile it would likely disintegrate if you ever tried to accelerate it to escape velocity. Making all those modules into uncontrollable weapons dropping randomly onto the surface of Earth.
Until we successfully set a space station with artificial gravity in a stable earth orbit we will not have a true operational space station with the capability for future exploration.
