- From USSR Yuri Gagarin in Vostok-1 to Boeing Starliner CFT, this animated infographics shows every human crewed launch to space (Karman line/100km) between 1961-2024. Launches are timed to the day they launched and 1 second = approx 2.5 months.
Includes Vostok, Mercury, X-15, Voskhod, Gemini, Apollo, Soyuz, Shuttle, Shenzhou, SpaceShipOne, Dragon, New Shepard, Starliner and... I will update this video in the future with more!
If you like my work you could buy me a Freddo to say thanks ko-fi.com/anim...

Im really excited about the diversity from 2020 to now. It no longer takes a superpower to achieve manned spaceflight. Very exciting times.
Yes it makes a nice change from “Soyuz, Soyuz, Shuttle, Shuttle, Shuttle, Shuttle, Soyuz”. The next few years will certainly be interesting
Now I want this but with unmanned too. This visualization was incredible
Sounds like a lot of work 😅 I’ll give it a go when I have some spare time
@@Anim_Mate you should make it with every launch vehicle's first flight, it should be easier and still interesting
@@Anim_Mate Its all fun and games until you hit the Falcon 9 ramp up in 2020.
@@Anim_Mate you can try to code such sort of animation and then compile it using table with data. Try to search for manim (in python) or panim (in C)
@@Anim_Mate2023/24 alone would give you a hell of a run, nonstop noise from SpaceX alone! Let alone China also ramping up launch cadence!
It's crazy to see the differences between USA and Soviets early on. Really highlights the different production capabilities even if unmanned launches aren't shown.
i've never thought the difference between R-7 and Saturn-V is THAT big
Musical notes for each type of vehicle is a wonderful concept. Hope we hear a symphony some day soon.
Bro took “oh yeah? So you’re into space travel? Name every human space flight then.” Seriously 😂 (this is a cool video)
Go hard or go home right 🤣
@@Anim_Mate now name every unmanned spaceflight!
@@cardboard9124name every named star and planet.
Man 2010-2019 was the calm before the storm. Can't wait to see a video like this in the 2030's!
USA: Redstone. NO WAIT: Atlas. NO, scratch that: X-15. No: Saturn 1B, ...
USSR/Russia: R7... It works
This was awesome alright! Never knew there were THAT many Shuttle missions.
Right!? I also found it interesting seeing the pace of Shuttle launches shortly before vs after Challenger. NASA was clearly trying to up the rhythm of Shuttle launches and the pressure to launch backfired. Also interesting to note the regularity of Soyuz launches, almost like a metronome at some points
@@Anim_Mate well until couple years ago soyuz was the only spacecraft to get astronauts to the iss
so you have 10 years of regular soyuz flights
You should have noted Valentina Tereshkova's flight in 1963 as the first woman in space, not just Sally Ride's flight as the first US woman in space.
Agreed, I’ll include her when I make an update to this video
@@Anim_Mate - I should also make it clear I like the video, timeline format and the way you give each launch vehicle a different sound 'ping'
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment and ideas to improve it 🙂
2011-2020: oh man it's so over
2020-present: hollup! we're so back.
This is a fantastic video, the music is really going to start sounding better and better soon! I'm ready to watch the 2030 edition already!
Thanks Jaxon I really appreciate your support 🚀
excellent ! would be great to show the number of people per flight, grand total and sub totals for each decade
Great ideas, I’ll add these into future versions
so cool! tim dodd would love it!
If you have his contact details please send it his way! 🚀
Very nice. You should remake this in a few years when starship has had crewed flights!
And hourly launches
Also: crewed Orion+SLS in 2025 and maybe the Indian Gaganyaan in a couple year, too.
Fascinating
Thanks Spock! 🖖
This visualisation was great. For all the attention the moon race gets, I think Mir and ISS are the real champions of manned space travel.
Great video! Very well presented
That was amazing and surprisingly peaceful
Incredible visualisation, thanks for making this
Man the Space Shuttle and the Soyuz had a nice dance with each other.
Nice. If you ever do an updated version, maybe include a running counter, maybe by country/company also?
Yep will do!
Bro, how does this only have 17K views??? You deserve way more and gained a sub! 😊
Thanks reisesser I appreciate it 🚀
At the end you should have spaced out the vehicles evenly, because the width difference between some vehicles (like soyuz vs. shuttle) is quite big so it's compare the amount of flights in each decade. Other than that, well done!
I see what you mean. I wanted to space everything out as close as possible to the preceding mission. Having them all equally spaced in the final “graph” would show the totals nicely but then then the x-15 and ss1 are VERY wide so do I set those as the standard width… doing it the way I have done keeps it nice and simple. I’ll probably just add a counter for each row in the future.
@@Anim_Mate I think it would still be correct to adopt a single size for all ships. so that there is no difference in size between them
No mention of the Skylab missions?
The numbers are about to skyrocket
Nice pun!
Thats an awesome video man!!!!! Love the visualization!!
Thanks Sailgator I really appreciate your support 🚀
Underrated.
Truly underrated.
Please share it with any other space nerds that you know! 🙂🚀
Can’t wait to see what absolute monsters we’ll have for the future missions to mars and the moon
We’d probably have them already if we could stop acting like dicks for like five minutes
Fantastic video. Subscribed.
Thanks for the compliment and the sub David! You’re the best
Nice. Would be good to have a running total of humans that have completed orbital and suborbital flights.
I hope that in the near future we will see many new launches and spacecraft!
It’s also every shuttle launch ever because somehow that had to be manned every time
Very cool! Good job bro👍
Great production quality!
Very well made
Glad you think so!
This is such a great channel. Deserves way more subscribers. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks Shrey, I really appreciate it. Please share it with any other space nerds that you know 🚀
There's a fairly standard rocket stack size for LEO launch vehicles, but it's really obvious just from the scale which rockets went further (Apollo) or were only suborbital (New Shepard).
Wonderful reference material. Very interesting . ThankYOU
Great Stuff well done! I always forget how many of the shuttles launched, it's so many.
Some improvements i would suggest though. Like a number of how many people were on board (+ flags of the nations of the crew members) next to the rocket and a counter of how many have been send to space until that point.
Also it's not easy to see which launch corresponds to the text on the top. Adding the name of the mission (maybe vertically besides the rocket) and maybe just a * to it when a text is shown would help so much.
The zoom out at the end is superb!
That's a sub from me! Hope we get a reupload in the future! Cheers.
Thanks for the great ideas!
Great video! I love these types of videos, and have even made a few of my own.
As others have said, using different pitches for each launch vehicle was a great idea. Did you use use any particular scale system?
One suggestion: If you ever update this, please consider using YYYY-MM-DD format for the date :)
I just used the next note up for each new launch system. For any future updates I’d like to use something that’s more melodic but I don’t have much music knowledge so I’ll have to skill up there. Thanks for the compliment threelon!
Those Saturn V rockets look so majestic and illustrate well how much more difficult it is to go to the Moon instead of LEO.
At the end of the video when you can see all of the missions in a line it makes me a bit sad to see the towering Saturn V rockets only at the far left. The Moon missions lasted only for a blink of an eye.
Saturn-V is quite a step up isn’t it! mercury… gemini… SATURNV
SLS will join that soon, and Starship will follow.
I didn’t know that the shuttle flown so many times 👍
one criticism, the graph at the end doesn't paint a good picture as the vehicles don't have a constant width. the space shuttle is very wide, and makes 1980-2009 look like they had a much, much larger amount of launches
Yeah good point. I’ll find a way to graph it better with future updates, either with spacing or counters
Don't forget that in an alternate universe, the space trebuchet of the Zambian space agency was a complete success, forever changing the way humans would travel to the ISS
I’ve no idea what this is but I like the sound of it
Congratulations!! 👏
Excelente recopilacion de datos y magnífica, exposición ilustrada, gráfica y cronológicamente 👍✍️
impresionante la Soyuz y el Transbordador (Schutel)
El futuro será para... F-9, Starship? o China....
Cool video, but I would have liked to see each rocket’s mission designation and a breakdown of the total number of flights and crew.
Great ideas! I’ll add these into a future revision of this video
This also shows how the Gemini peogram leapfrogged over the soviets with so many launches in a little amount of time.
Yes I didn’t realise quite how quickly the Gemini program happened and how little success the Soviets had at the same time.
@@Anim_Mate wow, do you really think the Soviets accomplished little?
You misunderstood me. The Soviets accomplished a lot, just not at the same time as the Gemini launches which all happened without a single Soviet launch between them.
1. Was not prepared to relise that i could have watched the space shutle launch live
2. I can't wait to see "first mars landing by spacex"
Shuttle is just the most awesome of them all (provided you leave out the destination, i.e. Saturn V to the moon).
Just keep in mind that the primary goal of many STS missions was not human space flight, but some other automated payload.
I was waiting for spaceX to start kicking in but I’m not sure I could have taken sure frequency of the pings.
That’s ace!
Well done!
Thanks!
Oh, this is wonderful!
Maybe in the next video you could include a small flag for the country they stem from
With all the Soyuz launches and the relative sheer number of crew on the space shuttle, I wonder which spacecraft (so far) has carried the most humans to space. NASA says the shuttles carried 355 humans to space while there have been more crewed Soyuz flights than shuttle flights-but a lot of Soyuz flights only had 2 cosmonauts aboard.
Great idea! I’ll add this data into future videos
I think you left out Spaceship Two VSS Unity?
SS2 doesn’t reach the Karman line at 100km. Maybe SS3 will make the cut in the future!
@@Anim_Mate ahh...gotcha. Thanks!
Nice work
Respect to the Soyuz rocket 🫡
The rest of thus decade is going to be a lot louder and fast paced on here.
Cool video!
This is awesome
Very good! i thought this was from a person with 1,000,000+ Subscribers!
Thanks! If I can reach 1000 subscribers I’ll be happy
Ashamed that we as humans have turned the final frontier into a competition once again, now that the ISS project is basically over countries are working independently instead of coming together for a common goal. Like an international moon base that we can all share, it reduces the cost for everyone and all the space programs would get experience.
I agree with you. It’s a pity that the US wasn’t satisfied with the collapse of the Soviet Union, they continued to expand NATO and move closer and closer to the borders of Russia, absorbing the former territories of the Soviet Union, which would ultimately cause confrontation, which expectedly happened in 22
@@maxg9357 dont ie to yourself, by taking Ukraine Russia would be in direct contact with nato, which their stated reason for invading was to prevent nato from expending near its borders, both you guys are bad at lying to yourselves.
space competition makes space flight cheaper and advance quicker. international space station was far to expensive for what it is.
Wait, you include the x-15 and SpaceshipOne, but not SpaceshipTwo? Otherwise very cool. Interesting to see the ebb and flow of pace over time, and the sheer consistency of Soyuz.
X-15 and SS1 flew above the 100km Karman line. SS2 doesn’t quite reach that high. Maybe SS3 will do the job!
More like this
So much Soyuz.
I think you forgot a new Virgin Galactic spaceflights towards the end.
VG SS2 doesn’t quite cross the Karman line of 100km. Hopefully SS3 will make it in the near future
I wish there was some sort of highlight for failures.
Great idea, I’ll add this into a future version
Great video.
Now do *every* spaceflight 😜
(Seriously, I would watch that, even if it were much longer and sounded like a geiger counter)
Amassing!
Gracias!
2012-2019 when it was just 1-2 Soyuz visits of 3 people per year to the ISS by the end was absolutely brutally boring era of US spaceflight, thank god for SpaceX
Next do every unmanned launch
I know saturn 5 was huge but
Is saturn 5 really that big
Like the soyuz can fit inside the first stage it seems
saturn 5 is a giant rocket, so maybe
Soyuz launch mass is ~312 metric tons.
Saturn V launch mass is 2965 metric tons, and could technically put ~141 metric tons into low earth orbit. (as in, when it reaches LEO that's the weight of the rocket remaining basically). By mass, you could stuff 7 Soyuz' just into the first stage of the Saturn V.
As you can see, the lunar landings required basically lifting half a Soyuz into orbit. Getting to the moon and back is significantly harder than just getting to orbit.
Neat. Did the Red Bull skydiver count as a person in space?
Not quite, he jumped from 39km which is 61km short
@@Anim_Mate ahhhh
Russians: *makes Soyuz rocket*
Also Russians: ah yes, we will keep this design forever.
🤣 The Soyuz capsule and rocket was upgraded several times over the years but kept the same basic design. But yeh, if it isn’t broken don’t fix it!
3:33 It's getting slower...
I like how they mentioned first american woman in space but didn't mention the first woman in space in the world
russia doesnt like giving women credit unless its for their own module failure so they may have missed it.
Interesting how you’re using words like "killed/die" for soviet disasters but for American you’re using "destroyed". Like nobody died
I think you’re reading too much into that
do this but with unmanned flights
One day when I have a spare week 🤣
A very neat overview, but why weren't the most recent Virgin Galactic flights not listed?
Currently they only fly to 80km so aren’t orbital
@@weekiely1233 The Blue Origin New Shepard are also suborbital, but are listed.
The SpaceShipOne prototype clears the Karman line but none of the VG flights have so far. New Shepard clears the Karman line. Neither STS-51L Challenger or Soyuz MS-10 reached the Karman line but since they were aiming for space I included them anyway. In future revisions of this video I’ll highlight successful/aborted and orbital/suborbital flights and maybe any tourist flights below the Karman line.
@@Anim_Mate That makes sense, tnx.
wish there was a flag, would be easier to see which countrty
They launched f**king manys soyuz rockets
Not "every" because you didnt put four n1l3 rockets witch all failed but they were crewed missions
None of the four N1 launches had a crew aboard.
Not that many actually...
Where is Buran?
Buran only had a single uncrewed flight.
☹️@@TheOwenMajor
I waited all the way until the end but never saw the Blue Origin New Glenn icon appear. The wait continues
New Glenn is unmanned. This is manned flights only.
@@nowhereman1046 Maybe he got confused between New Shepard and New Glenn.
Lol that's not *every rocket*, just look at non-starlink and China :P
Yes it is, well, every Manned flight that is.
The key part of the title being **human**.
You didn't read the title.
