Yet another fantastic Video put out by SPARK!
THANK YOU

[@jamessolomon3467]

Except it's way outdated. They mention SpaceX "is developing". SpaceX has been launching crews to the ISS now for years. Also, the dragon cargo craft they showed has already been retired in favor of a newer design.

[@AluminumOxide]

6:50 that launch is actually Challenger on STS-41G in 1984

[@luxuryhub1323]

I hope they don’t politicise science, and that they continue making such transnational collaboration.

[@Roestikrokette]

i would love to see a true International Spacestation in near future. with ALL space travel nations! but i think thats not possible :(

[@timi7844]

Happened in the fifties and sixties. The race to the moon.

[@rt-viz954]

My guy Russia has pulled out of the ISS

[@bigimskiweisenheimer8325]

Your being sarcastic, right?

[@IronFist.]

Too late.

[@oliversparks1459]

Excellent

[@maheshpatel3738]

Amazing ISS

[@BlueOriginHR]

i wonder if the russians specifically picked a yuri and a sergei to be the first residents on the iss from russia, maybe to also honor the first person to orbit the earth was yuri gagarin and the cheif designer of russian rockets was sergei korolev lol

[@Joso997]

The word cancel now has a totally different meaning. It took me a minute...

[@theshibby1337]

haha yeah I was like "dam, ISS must of said men cant be women"

[@Denosophem]

I bet I’d do just fine up there. Easy lemon squeeze

[@guelo757]

Why is this video 1day old?! Space X "WILL make a capsule capable of carrying astronauts."??? No way!!...Spark, we are about to send crew #5. Sparky, make one about Mars now so it will be ready on time, and not years late.

[@Gray.Karen333]

That's when the documentary was posted on youtube, not when it was made.

[@guelo757]

@@Gray.Karen333 no kidding?

At 17:10 you state that SpaceX is working on a dragon to cary astronauts to low earth orbit. WHAT? So this is an old video uploaded as a new edit on Aug 17th? Lame.

[@Orygunner67]

Why haven't we built the wheel yet? Really? Everybody knows what I'm talking about. We could make it quite modular and adaptable to meet future expectations. By we I mean every nation on Earth! Everybody contributes, everybody wins!

[@almarc3747]

So fake

[@jamesherron9969]

You literally asked the people pressing charges against Trump to verify Obama‘s records are you kidding me they have to give you the answer they gave you because if they gave you a different one then it was sure that they were acting politically illegally do you not get the irony of what you did

The ISS was and is an absolute waste of billions of dollars.
All of the necessary science done on the ISS could have been done by un-manned missions.
There is no place in our solar system comparable with human life.
We aren't going anywhere without a faster than light drive. That's not going to happen soon.
We need to stop vanity manned missions and use the money where it's needed. Right here on Earth.
Imagine what we could have done with all the money spent on manned missions since the 1960's
We spent money like drunken sailors on what turned out to be useless science and a few boxes of useless rocks.
Time for a reality check.
Stop the multi billion dollar fiasco missions to the moon and Mars. They are just going to get us another box of useless rocks.

Do you even know how much stuff you're enjoying because of space exploration? GPS is helping you every day to go wherever you want. All the TV, the internet, your bed at home and so much more is a result of space exploration; gtfo

[@renataavgeri1132]

in addition to that not all science done in iss could be done unmanned and yes iss is and will be very important to life on earth. monitoring the solar system the earth the moon the sun from space helps us understand so much more to improve life on earth

[@renataavgeri1132]

and no missions to mars and moon will give us clues for the genesis of cosmos and history of those planets

Who hurt you, bro? Or are you just scared of the little green man
