It’s amazing how Apollo still holds so many records after so many years. Back in the 60s I’m sure people thought they would be on mars rn and have a self sufficient moon colony.
@@viarnay I agree I think what I meant was Apollo was a mission that will for ever go down in history but we have not invested the money, time, and effort to go back to the moon till now, but still NASA does not have the funding to go back. As of 2022 the US Budget has been 6.3 trillion dollars, and NASA gets a budget of 22.6 billion dollars per year which to almost every person on this Earth is a lot of money but in retrospect to Rocketry that money is nothing.
@@bluesteel8376 i lived in the middle of the woods and only really left for monthly grocery runs and for school if that counts. but eh. still not that qualified (motion sickness)
In order to have a successful big colony on Mars or the Moon, the vast majority of their materials Have to be collected from on site instead of transported from Earth. They need to be mostly self sustainable for years at a time. So things like surface mining and three printing any material will be necessary.
@@mervstash3692 I don't find the word "simple" or any synonyms in the post you're replying to. He is asserting a fundamental essential for colonization.
@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx I Thought John Glenn Was The Oldest Man In Space When He Flew On The Shuttle & Yes, He Was The First American To Orbit The Earth In '62.
I think SpaceX should design a reusable airlock module that can be left in space, either in orbit or attached to the ISS, that can be used in the future to dock to for spacewalks or rendezvous with other spacecraft, etc. It could even have mini robotic arms, tool stations, etc... a mini space station of sorts.
@TheEvilmooseofdoom so it can be reused by other spacecraft over and over... taking it back and forth would be an unnecessary waste of fuel and time, especially if there are going to be many flights a week... or a day
I wish I could afford to go to space. That's been a dream of mine for the longest. Born too late to explore the world, born too early to go to space. One day it'll probably be as common as taking a bus or plane.
I think just the oposite, as robots improves the only reason to go to space will be tourism. The enrgy cost will ALWAYS be high. Even with Elon Musks hopeless optimism he said that "some day" the cost of flying to space will be as low as the price of a house. Here in California where he said that that means about $1M. But he said "some day" with pouit even putting a date on it. So in 100+ yearsthose with $1M disposible income might go to the Moon on Vactaion.
@@chrisalbertson5838 you're not wrong, the cost to energy ratio will always be a challenge. I sorta think we'll exhaust our planets resources trying to get up there before moon mining or astroid mining become a thing. I could die happy one day knowing we simply have a moon base with humans living on it though. That's my realistic expectation. That's probably the best first step towards further space exploration. Not go straight to Mars lol.
The Moon is required as a station to any other destination in the Solar System. But before we get there, we need some gas stations in Earth orbit. Not only for Starship, but SpaceHubs are going to use different fuels. I don't know how good it would work, to turn the commercial space stations into gas stations.
Imagine the very first bus coming to your neighborhood. The first bus ride is so special. But as the bus line comes every few minutes or hours now, it's no longer special. It won't be any different with space travel. Change your perception and imagination, things are suddenly different again. 😉
I heard about Polaris last week, saw some social media post about it. Seems very ambitious! But the science sounds very valuable! Also Moon bricks! That will be cool to see! Seems like the most sensible way to build on the moon for our initial missions
OMG. This isn't reckless, these firsts are insane. Field test not just the suits, but exposing mission critical equipment to vacuum?! Oh, and by the way, make your mission specialist a guinea pig in a procedure which could go very wrong
At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="311">5:11</a> the guy is explaining how they shouldn't have sex in space but in case they do they should use space condoms.
Uh, sorry, there were spacewalks on several successful Apollo lunar missions to recover & transfer film cassettes from the service module to the command module during the return trajectory from the Moon to Earth. These spacewalks easily hold the record for “highest” spacewalks.
I had a spinal tap that went badly, & had fluid drain out of the syringe onto my back & down the back of my leg. I was awake & under Xray machine, for accuracy, I was told, & it caused a SEVERE headache for 48hrs str8. Was admitted to hospital & had to lay flat in dark room. Good Luck performing that procedure in space......
What do you mean, the inside of the Dragon capsule will be exposed to the harsh temperatures of space if they fully depressurise it? There's no heat going to suddenly rush in, or any means to rapidly "suck" the heat out and make it cold. They had better have designed it so that all the electrical systems are actively cooled not using air though.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="598">9:58</a> - Interesting, but any kind of moon or mars habitat needs to be underground, supposedly very deeply into the ground. Reasons why? Well... Better protection against radiation and meteorites impact.
At this point with this stuff happening Spacex needs to put in Orbit a single ship that has a crew that can pick up people or Tow ships to their ship where they can have tools and the ability to make repairs. Someone is going to die. They need to have a rescue station in operation.
@@mervstash3692no we don't with enough money we convert a starship or a mini space station. We can do everything if just bother to rmtry with all our resources
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="420">7:00</a> That no big deal I work from home get my supplies delivered by Amazon and Walmart, and stay inside a 1000 sq foot, home with poor internet for a great majority of my time.

Sorry, but the Apollo astronauts hold the record for highest altitude space walks in history. The lunar surface EVAs as well as the Command Module pilot space walks following transearth injection on the way back from the Moon will still be the record holders following this commercial EVA.
The enhancement is a bit much. Currently experimenting with some new microphones and audio processing, trying to find something that works the best. I'd prefer a more natural vibe, but our editor is on the opposite side of that fence.
Still weird with the high pitch at the end of almost all words/phrases. Sounds like you're not sure if what is being said is truth. That's probably why people think it's AI. Because it sounds unnatural. Maybe?! Try?! To avoid?! Ending?! In a higher?! Pitch?! Or tone?!
@@TheSpaceRaceYT Yeah just let the editor know it's frustrating the viewers and since your competition is AI Slop or that one Asian team with no native speakers, it will turn off many new potential subscribers, especially since your channel often runs faceless. The others I can't really put you in the same slot as they're typically face-on videos. You guys are too good and work too hard to get relegated to the science/Tesla/Elon spam tier accidentally by new visitors.
i believe that poteets' spinal tap did not go so well according to an interview with isaacman.. so they will be measuring these stresses to the body in other more external ways.
I'd like to see an Earthside mockup of a doorway suitable for accommodation on a planet that's covered in fresh craters. There's no way I'd want to live in anything exposed on the surface. Would it be like a gorge-maze to prevent impacts covering the door? hard to visualise. Maybe it would be more simple than that and there would be more than one door.
Those "fresh" impacts are fresh inly is "geologic time" meaning "only a few million years ago". What is FAR WORSE is the radiation. The sheild that you need a few meters of rock and soil over you head.
Now that ESA has new space launch rocket system, they may try to adapt SpaceX's manned space capsule hardware to cut development costs for a manned space program🤔
I don’t watch this video since it’s totally evident that the audio is made by Ai. I subscribed to this channel because I thought the owner really wanted to provide value, not to earn just money.
80 percent chance to make history, either 50 percent first rocket to be caught mid air on a tower. Or 30 percent first rocket to crash while being caught. Or 20 percent something not historic.
vacuum has no temperature, temperatute is related to the kinetic energy of the molecules. No air, no molecules, just the temperature of the suits as a result of radiaton, cooling tubes inside the pressure suit.
I understand that you have to "play the game" as everyone calls it, but it seems highly misleading to show the abort thrusters in use on the Dragon capsule in the thumbnail. There's nothing remotely realistic about that unless the mission fails during launch and the trunk remains attached to the Dragon for some unfortunate reason.
