There is another factor: Fuel needed to stay in orbit. When ISS was first put into space the orbit was 350 km, which costed around 8.5 tons of fuel per year to maintain. After lifting the orbit to 400 km. this fuel consumption was cut to more that haft of only 3.5 tons per year. It does cost a little extra fuel to get to those extra 50 km, but not by much, and all that extra weight can now be used for food, water, equipment, cargo, etc.
dar fr Of course we can go back to the moon. Is there a reason to go back? Rockets would have to be built to match Saturn V. This is about 2X present LEO rockets.
Thank you for the video. Good stuff. =) I probably could've hung in there for a least another minute for two. :) Very clear explanation. Qs: How often do they adjust altitude? How do they adjust altitude? I mean... What fuel? How many thrusters? How long do they thrust? How do they keep the orientation of the ISS while thrusting.. so that it doesn't spin out of control..? ...stuff like that. Thanks again for the video!
Typically altitude adjustments are made by a docked Progress supply spacecraft, typically docked to the far port on the Zvezda Service Module. At this docking port, the center of gravity is nearly aligned with the Station's mass. It is not a full-power burn though, but more of a gentle nudge over a long duration, and perhaps made several times, each time the station reaches its apogee (the highest point in its elliptical orbit).
Bullshit: The guy who made the o-rings cant even believe theyre still using the exact same set they put in it 17yrs ago which should have failed a few times least one time
[Quote Joel Harris 3 minutes ago] The person that made the 0-ring does not know the materials limitations. [End Quote] PMSL: You cannot make such a statement: You do not know this to be true: I can say Yes he does: This is WHY he was chosen to design them: Its his specialty you dope: Wakey wakey He knows for example that they cannot do certain things: He designed them; but the materials are still as malleable; if not more now than the day they were moulded: He can easily derive they cannot; will not and do not evolve as if to survive in a constant high to low pressure atmosphere while exposed to a high low temperature state: Radiation alone will decay them: All materials decay and when you find out what those O-rings are designed from and for; you will stop bullshitting yourself into belief: Go see the guys face when he hears they even used them in the first instance:
Which O-ring? I would need to know a lot about the one you are speaking: Like its composition and environmental variables: 15PSI in the sunlight or darkness and in an enclosed container system approaching or a near Vacuum? Or Like the environments at Plum Brook facility or actual LEO? All these are easily questionable: I am saying that it sounds preposterous that there has been no O Ring failure ever in the history of ISS; nor has there been a replacement: They have not even got a plan B for failure: I.E Peoples lives: For the most parts I can know about; 15PSI has zero to do with common sense about what happens to man made things under a high pressure low pressure environment: Theyre not Magic because they were engineered: You know 3d Printers can do this today?? Remember; they were designed and made on Earth for Space: Its does not take an Phd in engineering to be able to stand in awe at the bullshit of NASA having no Plan B for failures: [If it leaks; then we have a leak]
Sara Skywalker ya I can't wait to see how they are gonna do the deep space gateway. They are probably gonna need to build it some time cause I think NASA needs it for their mars missions
Actually, it is a non-issue. The problem is (again), the cost of building a big enough internal "safe bunker" on the core that has enough shielding for the ocasional solar flares. -> No matter HOW you do it, better shielding it requires more MASS (more money).
I really don't understand why DSG would be needed for deep space operations, in absence of Lunar production factories. I think you're much better off utilizing the Oberth effect by applying acceleration near Earth rather than at Lunar orbit height.
The DSG has no "practical" porpouse. It is purely for RESEARCH porpouses. . Except for when it is "Full Moon" on Earth, the DSG will be exposed to the same [actually, a bit worse thanks to the Earth´s magnetic field deflection] solar wind & radiation than through any journey to Mars or Venus. . The "cosmic" radiation would be about the same as almost everywhere else in the solar system; so that is also usefull for testing. -> This particular kind of "experiments" (on both humans and any other plants/animals brought there), can not be done near Earth or even on the Moon [because you have HALF of the sky being blocked by the nearby celestial body]; since this kind of radiation is imposible to block out completely; testing different methods of shielding [direct absorption versus scattering of "secondary radiation"] will be critical for long term missions. The real advantage is that even in a worst case scenario, the crew can return to Earth [or be assisted/rescued] in a matter of days instead of months.
You forgot to mention that the ISS's current altitude means it's within reach of the Space Shuttle. If I remember correctly, the maximum altitude the Shuttle can attain is about 580 kilometers. Though the Shuttle is no longer in service, the Shuttle was -- of course -- used to build the ISS.
no they got a couple under there. LOL why buy one when you can buy two at twice the cost? LOL These consipracy types crack me up. They have no clue how crafty and ingenius humans are. It's actually cheaper to do the real space program then to fake it. They assert stuff with no proof, but when proof is given they shake it off. I'm seriously thinking of working for SpaceX on the moon program. I saw Apollo 11 live, I know somes astronauts that been to the ISS, I met Buzz... I watched every single second of all the video, I researched every aspect of the consipracy, and for while a I almost thought it was faked. But it wasn't. We went, ISS is real and so are some really bizare things we did on the far side of the moon few people know about... I knew a Boeing engineer that told me everythng before he died of cancer. I suspect he may of gone to the moon, but most were Russian. My god our engineers are brillant and GOD made them that way. For a purpose helping the universe learn about itself.
Jony Fish Sorry if I confused you. I am a humble student of the universe. Apologies. But....then again... It is Friday, so what the hell, let's roast fish... LOL! Kidding.. mostly... Arogance aside -- I was quoting Carl Sagan. So go hunt him down. My message is just the reverse of what you are suggesting. Even my dog, in a backwards way, helps the universe learn, certainly more than a fish. I know you do not care what I think. So you can stop here and move on with my apology for that and the rest of this... For the rest of the readers... I think we are more like inout devices to the universe, not THE teacher of the universe. As for god's creatures, such as myself, we are like service animals... use for example my dog... He is an awesome service animal, he shows me the way, leads me, let's me know if I'm about to have medical issues, sometimes looking into those beautiful chestnut eyes he is the only reason I keep going given the hell I've been through. No, he is not my teacher... well sometimes he is. He certainly warns me of unsafe people and loves fish. I wonder if animals like jony fish... or if he likes animals? Honestly, I'm just glad to have the oportunity to help the universe's learning process, even glad to hear from Jony Fish, because I just learned something, how cool is that? I am thankful for what I have learned from the universe. And hopefully I helped return the favor a little. That's all a humble service animal can hope for. So... How about jony fish...? It's Friday. Ma, start the BBQ! We go'n have sum fish for din-din! I ask you to think and have a little fun... "jony fish", is that his/her (I'll assume him) real name? Or is he so arogant to call himrself a reference to a major religous icon, who was/is a man of utmost peace, some would say even god himself? I bet Jony Fish not his real name. Let's assume it's not his real name, because he cannot be that stupid to use his real name. So tell me, speaking from a "Fish" perspective, where in any of this is a excessive amount of arogance on MY part? Or is it really Jony "Fish" being arogant? Why choose that specific name if he wasn't trying to assume another's personality and invoke some kind of personal power? Probably he cannot accomplish a level of respect on his own merits away...? Hmmm, sounds like an ancient form of Idenity theaft. It's happen a lot in history. People claiming to be someone special that they are not. False prophets, false gods, false scientists. Who is arogant here? Honestly? Truth we BOTH are. But at least I can tell the difference. Arogant? Humility? Cearly some cannot tell the difference. What is the truth... god knows. I don't. But I'm on a quest to find out. Let's compare fish... Barracuda, now there is a very AROGANT fish -- they either "get ate" or at the slightest provocation turn agressive and attack; not much more to a fish than that is there? I've been attacked by Barracuda before, all I can say is that they aren't all the good tasting, but easy to catch by their own agressive attitude. They swim right to the bait and get hooked everytime They attack anything they do not understand. They don't seem to reason or even think about what they are doing. They just do, they just accept without reason. Sounds a lot like reglious zealots to me. I do not think fish help the universe learn much anymore. Their time of providing useful input is long past, except to those that are still learning the basics of eat or be eaten. Like fish. Ya know... My dog wags his tail in response to positive words, and guides me the way, am I his teacher? Yes. Did I teach him to help me learn and thus teach me too. Yes. I have never seen any fish do that. YES! YES.... It's true, while SCUBA diving, I did once meet a fish that seemed very smart and had very cute personality and it coaxed me into a dangerous part of the reef. Where'd I'd be torn up by the surge and then it could feed on my leftover bits. Look it up, it's a Cow Fsh. Ironically had a very pretty looking Angel Fish do the same thing, but she is a different story. Both almost got me. At least the Angel was a pretty fish. Why bring up Cow Fish -- because ironically a Cow Fish being very smart, has pertinent attributes. A Cow Fish is 1) Known to be very smart, 2) horns sticking out of it's head so it looks like the devil and 3) whenever it felt threatened it would excreate a toxin that kills itself and all the other fish and everything else in it's tank. I hope you paid attention, because here is a surprise test. It's Multple choice question. Check all that apply. Wha kind of critter is a jony fish really? A -- Barracuda...? It has teeth and is an arogant attacker for no reason. B - Cow Fish...? It's smart and cute, cannot take it seriously and makes you,laugh seeing it. But some think it looks a bit like the devil with those horns, baits you in to play but lets others shred you and if it gets scared by what it doesn't understand it's kills everything around it and commits suicide in the process. There are a lot of people out there that ressemble Cow Fish, we see them all the time. Murder/Suicide. C - Bottom feeder...? Eats the crap that is left by others and just accepts whatever is handed down from "up above"? But they are good dipped in beer batter with lemon. D - Should be spelled Phish not Fish. Because pretending to be someone he isn't and asserting athority as if he was is Phishing... How many millon's have died because false proclaimist killed in the name of god? E - All the above. I prefer to interact with my Dog, which ironically is the reverse spelling of God. DOG = GOD. Wow. Do that math, If one is true, so is the reverse. Coincidence? I can accept life's little ironies, Cow Fish and Dogs. Anyone offended? Or do you all have enough humility to see the irony in all this and the universe's has it's own little games it's playing with us. And if it's a game (some say it's a simulation), then breaking the rules a little is the only way to find out for sure. Science is about testing, questioning and breaking the established rules and above all else, asking questions. You would not even be reading this, driving your car, or have life saving medications if engineers and scientists didn't push the boundaries now and then. Which I admit is a bit arogant. But I've never been a devote rule follower. I question EVERYTHING. And doing so has made me wealthly in knowlege, healthy again (survived a deadly brain tumor), given me lot's resources and I am known as a great teacher to all those that would like to learn. I have learned one thing for sure... I do not like phishing. Like I said... I am a student of the universe. Now where the hell is my dog, it's Friday, and on Friday fish is on the table. LOL! C'mon people, laugh a little, life is funny stuff. I know I know my singular wit strikes again.
Great video, especially for someone that does everything alone. I hope that your sub number will grow fast. Smart stuff, easy to understand, short videos, I don't see anything you could improve haha
Selim Shakur The truth is always stranger than fiction my friend and has always been taboo. Step away from your comfort zone for 10 minutes And research the world is flat on RU-vid. NASA means deceive in Hebrew. The globe is a lie. Google image ancient Hebrew model of the universe, And you will see that it coincides with the Native American model and the ancient Chinese model as well as the Greek model from 200 BC
Video, yay ! Also, hot news: Today's SpaceX launch went as planned, and minutes ago, we had confirmation that all 10 Iridium Next satellites deployed smoothly from the upper stage.
Oooh, but the blinde faith scientism coments are ok right. A buch o Thories that haveny been proven are taken for granted, why? Scientism thas why!! Its is just another religion.
debris is mostly below 300km and far above in the geostationary altitudes. Above because that is where so many satellites orbit at. Blow because that is where spent booster stages and separated fairings are generally at, so (among other reasons) atmospheric drag will bring them down to burn up much sooner. that is not to say there isn't any debris at this altitude, but nearly all of it is constantly tracked. if any paths are within as much as 20 kilometers of the station, they have the crew wait in their escape vehicle (typically a Soyuz) until it passes, and even use a docked Progress vehicle (or other such alternative) to slightly adjust ISS' path to be further away.
its called research. More than just a 5 minute google search, but rather spending years on the subject. and I'm not talking wikipedia either. None of it is classified, it is all out there for everyone to see.
What about space debris that isn’t man made? For example a space rock the size of a baseball or the size of a watermelon. How is it that things like that don’t ever hit the space station. If something that size did wouldn’t it cause real damage? After all things in space are traveling very fast. Right?
Because the distances in space are vast beyond belief. Take, for example, how many such objects are tracked entering the Earth's atmosphere. Then take the size of each object compared to the overall size of the Earth. Then the likelihood of something 100 meters across happening to be in that spot at just the right time to suffer an impact. The chances are quite small indeed. While, at the same time, it is pelted with tinier extraterrestrial objects all the time. We see the results of such impacts on the solar wings, and the outer hull of the pressurized modules. Believe it or not, this was factored in to its construction
There are only 2 countries in the world that don't use the metric system. Don't you think it's more sensible to use a system that calls the freezing point of water, zero, and the boiling point 100?
July 23, 1962, Telstar could only broadcast signals when it was visible to ground stations on both sides of the Atlantic, meaning there was only a 20-minute transmission window during each two-and-a-half-hour orbit.
Video GIST : Above 700 km : Radiation problem Below 300 km : Atmospheric problem So, safe range is 300-700 kms. Then why 400 km? Because it's cost effective.
Why is 400km high? Well with your imagination you can't think that it is 4000km high, you can also imagine that we went to the moon with a paper trashcan 60 years ago, and we had real time conversation with pulse tone telephones
I think he means between atmosphere and non atmosphere. Answer, the atmosphere thins out over time. It looks like there is a solid separation because the vantage point is so wide. Even though anything above 30,000 feet (approximately 9 kilometers) is pressure below Human tolerance, this still doesn't mark the accepted boundary of "space", which is currently 50 kilometers, but it used to be 100. So, if it takes only 9 kilometers to get from sea level pressure to below Human tolerance,... and yet there is still atmospheric drag all the way up to 400 kilometers, you can tell there is no sudden drop-off. It is a slow thinning over a very vast distance.
to be fair to the water and air comparison, technically there is a solid barrier, which is also referred to as surface tension. Maybe not solid, but it does separate the two and keep them apart, even allowing for certain insects to actually walk on the water without getting wet
Joel Harris That's a stupid example and you know it. There's not a vacuum. Are you seriously as dumb as I think you are? I'm sorry man. I didn't know you were so bad off. I shouldn't pick on you. I would hit a kid with glasses and not think twice but I try not to fuck with dummies too much.
Because if it was higher, it would be even more expensive to get to. And if it was lower, other stuff would keep crashing into it if it was able to stay up at all.
Its your mind and not others who ask this question. Its your choice and not of others. Same is with money. Whoever has it have a choice where to spend it . besides what will those living in poorest countries do ? Nothing else but as we do - eat and excrete, inhale and exhale, download and upload and then die.. there's nothing exciting or new thse people will do . So why worry ?
their shielding was so good back then that they need reinvent it for the orion project. the person in a nasa promotional spot made it sound like it was the 1st time we have ever done it. "nasa's concerned about the deadly radiation because the crew has to pass through it twice." we shouldn't have to develop "new" shielding if we already did it. but i guess we must have discarded that technology about the same time we "lost" the apollo telemetry data need to go to the moon.
"we shouldn't have to develop "new" shielding if we already did it." we shouldn't have to develop "new" break systems for cars if we already did it. we shouldn't have to develop "new" aircraft wings if we already did it. we shouldn't have to develop "new" mobile devices if we already did it. Your way of thinking causes stagnation. It's a different craft with different dimensions for which they will have to make it work. And maybe they can produce shielding that's better and lighter.
I know it's like they got cameras floating around the International Space Station watching them work on it get the f*** out of here you know what I mean
Stephen Wilson There is a series by Kevin. Showing how the ISS was built. It’s not finished but his videos of MIR & Skylab are complete. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yqxb2Cyj-BQ.html
Stephen Wilson Here’s a picture of a gas Giant next to the void of space. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jupiter_and_its_shrunken_Great_Red_Spot.jpg. Oh yah, it’s called gravity.
Yes.... and no. There is actually a lot of economics involved. It is true that it would affect the prices of such metals greatly, but going and bringing materials back from the asteroid belt is not exactly cheap, either. Plus, the people going there would be fully aware of that factor, and would limit the amount they bring back for that very reason. Do a simple thought exercise. You find a solid gold mountain, and buy all the land there. Now what do you do? Sure the price will crash on the news, but that would recover. No, you would operate as a cartel and slowly release gold on the market to cover your costs and maximize your profits, much like Debeers does with diamonds. This works even if everyone knows you have a mountain of gold, and even if several people actually own other parts of the mountain or other solid gold mountains.
The thing is, if you crash the prices, you make new uses of these materials practical. Not that they are many possibilities in the case of gold out of base moneys on gold again and stabilizing the economies in the world (and many powers would not want that to happen), but I'm sure we could change a lot of industries if we managed to cancel the scarcity and price of most minerals.
allsquirefilms at the middle of may 2017 ISS was at 405.4km at end of July 2017 ISS got slowed down to 404.4 km 2.5 month per kilometer About 5 km/year ----------- End of September 2017 - 405.2 km End of October 2017 - 404.2 km 1 km per month = 12 km/year
heyyy fellow singaporean here!! I really love the content on your channel, and i feel you really deserve more subs than just 44k. keep up with the great content and we will be supporting you all the way 💪🏻💪🏻 😊
I thought it’s because the moon is 400 times smaller than sun, or because the sun is 400 times further away from us than the moon. Just keep this stuff consistent.
For heaven sakes PEOPLE... GET IT RIGHT! Do your research... You can do it, be brave, and you will finally get the Van Allen belt thing right for the LAST TIME. Here's the deal -- the belts will kill you if you stay in them IN ORBIT! but Apollo didn't stay inside the belts, they mostly went around them. DO YOUR RESEARCH. Human engineers are very crafty people. 1) YES YOU CAN slip AROUND the worst parts of the belts safely. 2) YES you CANNOT sustain life while orbiting inside the belts, going round and round bathed in radiation, that is bad -- we all know THAT. But the simple fact YOU ALL miss is that zipping through the belts for less than a hour and skipping AROUND the most intense radiation areas is in fact mostly safe and it is exacty that our crafty engineers did for Apollo. Huge difference here, slip through or orbit inside. Not the same thing. The videos you watch fail to say this because they are talking about orbiting. NOT transiting out past the belts. Here's the READ HIDDEN truth ---> Sadly, some astronauts did take heart damage from radiation, some died from it. They paid the price for America. THAT is the TRUTH.
From wikipedia and other sources: The Apollo missions marked the first event where humans traveled through the Van Allen belts, which was one of several radiation hazards known by mission planners.[32] The astronauts had low exposure in the Van Allen belts due to the short period of time spent flying through them. Apollo flight trajectories bypassed the inner belts completely, and only passed through the thinner areas of the outer belts.[25][33] Astronauts' overall exposure was actually dominated by solar particles once outside Earth's magnetic field. The total radiation received by the astronauts varied from mission to mission but was measured to be between 0.16 and 1.14 rads (1.6 and 11.4 mGy), much less than the standard of 5 rem (50 mSv) per year set by the United States Atomic Energy Commission for people who work with radioactivity
I got a question if the Sun is so hot and they take off in a rocket towards the sun why does it get colder before it gets hotter or if it even does get hotter
And top that the space station is moving 17000 miles an hour that's faster than a bullet there ain't no f****** way they can load and unload people off of that there ain't no way they can hook up to it there's nothing that does its all bulshit
Pretty bad when that chick gets that supposed piece of moon rock given to heard but yet it's tested and it's nothing but petrified wood think about it NASA Nazi Operation Paperclip 1100 Nazi scientists
There is no point in going to the moon again just to get some rocks, they have already done that, but going to Mars nobody has yet. Mars will be the next step in the space race. It is just a matter of competition between the super nations.
400 Km is very low, actually we have never be in a real space, the most that we accomplished was the moon. We can say that we have been in a forged zero gravity by orbiting the earth.
The apollo moon landing never happened. The radiation past 400km would have killed the astronauts. Instead they orbited the earth for a while and the capsule was then picked up in the ocean. All the footage was filmed in NASA studio to satisfy President JFK speech for American to land on the moon. If it were possible there would have been many more missions to the moon. The moon is an ideal location for permanent communication satellite dishes and telescopes. There wouldn't be any need to have orbiting satellites. The problem is humans would be cooked alive by the microwave radiation.
@@mrBDeye ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vpNa4u997xA.html WATCH THIS AND COOL DOWN YOUR FIRED UP ASS. And you said "why there weren't more missions to moon". Have you just came out of a cave? There have been 6 successful moon landings.
Decently well researched but you show the space shuttle which can’t reach the current ISS orbit. The original orbit was about 350km to allow the space shuttle to safely reach the ISS. It’s now at 400 as it is a far more efficient orbit.
Mankind records all achievements , bridges, dams, buildings, everything, isn't it amazing that there is not ANY footage of mankinds biggest achievement ?
and what acheivement are you referring to? Is there a video of adam and eve (that's not modern prono)? or the landing of Colmubus? There is ton of video from Apollo 11. Most was film at the time. Video was pretty crapy back then.
I saw it with my own eyes on April 2nd - twice! The first time was about 9 p.m. and the second time 1½ hour later when it had circled the Earth once. Its timing, position in the sky and brightness was exactly as predicted by this site: iss.astroviewer.net/observation.php
You can see a 3"x5" signal mirror from over 10-40 miles away in the daytime... The ISS has way more reflective area; and you're viewing it shortly after sunset, when it's dark at ground level (your eyes adjust to the dark and are more sensitive to bright objects), but before the sun has set over the horizon at 400km altitude.
Good point, Joel! It's also worth noting that since Jupiter's average distance from the Sun is 5.2 times that of the ISS, the sunlight illuminating Jupiter is 5.2² = 27 times fainter than the sunlight at ISS. Despite that, Jupiter is usually the 4th brightest natural object in the sky, after the Sun, Moon and Venus.
A 100 percent fully charged battery will not freeze until approximately minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit. How did that Moon buggy work? -173 degrees celsius = -279.4 degrees fahrenheit
If the iss exits as advertised in the many video and pictures. I do get more and more difficulties to understand the purpose and need for manned spacecraft in low orbit from a cost/ benefit perspective? Automated systems are more reliable, cost effective and less complex than human operated systems. Thanks for clarification and have a nice day
I see where you are coming from and understand your disbelief in my argumentation. I do agree in the added value of manned spacecraft in the last 50 years for mankind and the massive improvements in Technology and science thanks to the above mentioned undertakings. I do have serious doubts about the measurable scientific benefits by further funding manned spacecraft, when there is clear evidence, that manned travel cannot expand any further than low earth orbit. To be precise of 450 Kilometers above ground to avoid the harmful exposure to van allen belt radiation to human beings. Please feekl free to correct me if I am wrong and avoid any disrespectful or condescending attitude, because this do not help your case. Thank you for your response and have a nice day
Yes, if the ISS is exist in the present form and shape in low earth Orbit. I have tried to spot the space station with a telescope here in central Europe but with other success than a white blob. spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/index.cfm I have seen so many ISS space station Videos with very strange " side effects " like air bubbles in space, astronauts making very strange movements in micro gravity, blue screen backgrounds in reports and so on. Best of all, I have never seen any sientific results or breakthrough from all the experiements in the last twenty years in any leading science magazine , like in American Scientific and so on. The more I research about the ISS space station, the more I come to the conclusion that its not what its should be....but maybe you can help out and provide some Facts and evidences?
It's true. I love manned space flight, but frankly, for now robots can do just about as good. But hey, if going floats your boat... why not? Here's why -- as much as I love the space program and I support our miltary... I'd rather see the 30,000 homeless people in Seattle taken care of first. Some areas in the state of Alabama have some of the worst poverty in the world... that is just plain shameful for such a rich country as the USA. Space travel is a luxury. Yet they cannot see suffering people in their own country let alone the rest of the world from orbit -- it's all beatiful from 150 miles up.
looking up a video about hoax conspiracy theories does not count as legitimate research. Especially when the vast majority of these can be disproven with the most elementary principles of physics and even economics. The problem is, when one has their tin foil hat wrapped so tightly around their head, they will refuse to listen to anything that doesn't fit their preconceived notions.
Yup I've done it with my 10" cassi scope, perfect silhouette picture as it moved across the face of the moon. Moving fast! PLUS I know people personally that been to the ISS.
It's not 400 km high, it's in a pool in Florida or Texas. 100 billion stolen dollars and more to come. If you really believe that big awkward football field sized tin can is flying around in a near perfect vacuum with millions of micrometeorites magically missing it everyday ....well then I have some oceanfront property here in Arizona to sell you.
EarthRealmVideos 1. Why do u think its in Texas or Florida? 2. 100 Billion tf? NASA gets 1.9 Billion every year I dont think they saved up to build that shit for like 50 years
GamingGenesis why do I think it's in Florida or Texas ?because that's where they have their big simulation pools. NASA does not get 1.9 billion a year they get 19-20 billion a year.
It's not 400 km above earth lmao its in a giant Olympic pool underwater, nothing but underwater bubbles in their gay livestreams lmfao!! So fake!! Jesus is truth!!
I had to answer this :) partially because of the protective measures, partially because of the high speed, the inner belt is about 5k km, the speed of Appolo modules travel at a speed of 30k - 40k km/h, so our astronauts are in the belts for a relatively short period of time.
they went around most of the dangerous parts of the van Allen belts... and some astronauts DID take long term heart damage. Radiation is not always a source of cancer. Any tissue damage is possible. Sad but true.
Sadly some did take heart damage. Remember, they did not sustain an orbit inside the belts. The went around most of the dangerous parts very quickly as they headed out towards deep space. There is a mesh of metal that protected them from the hot exposure (like the sheild in your microwave oven window). But mostly the just avoid the hot zone. Curious Droid has a great video explaining this.
Then how can he astronauts go to the moon without being radiated? And wasn’t the moon just repositioned into earths atmosphere? How they going to have it both ways?
The Apollo astronauts passed the through the radiation belts in just a few hours. The dose of radiation they received in such a short amount of time was not dangerous.
Hi Curious Elephant, great video once again. Could you please put your sources in the description of the video? I have a blog in which I write tons of articles, and I am interested in everything you post here, and I would love to write articles about the subjects of your videos. Thanks again for the video, and keep up the good work.
That antique is seeing its final days. It'll be a museum eventually. To be honest it's really old tech. After seeing crew dragon I longed for futuristic space stations. just think about how high-tech of a space station we could put up for a fraction of the price. I postulate there will be many space stations within the next two decades
I would love to see some of the projects they are working on. All I ever get to see is the same screen shot at the same location, with the Astronauts performing flips and spilling water. Lots of exposed electrical wiring make me nervous. The Gorilla suits and guitar playing are idiotic though at $200k per pound. Hats off to the Astronauts risking their lives for science.
