It's got loads of gravity. In fact, the acceleration of gravity on the ISS is about 89% of that on the surface of Earth. What the ISS does have going for it is its constant free fall around Earth which makes it appear as if astronauts are weightless.
There's something heartwarming about seeing that little salute, handshake, and hug between those astronauts. There's no real borders and rivalries in space, only home and friends.

I think that there has only been a few times that there has been crew in two stations at a time. The first were some of the earliest shuttle missions to the ISS. The longer duration missions involved the ISS and Tiangong 1 and 2. Since 1973 there has been at least one space station that has at one point had crew on board in low earth orbit. At times there has been up to three - although only one was occupied at a time.
@@hamburgerhamburger4064 It wouldn't exactly be a straight docking, as you cannot mate female to female docking ports.

Thank you Scott for your vivid representation of how the IIS was brought to life and for sharing and generating Bill Shepard's log. It's similar for me to what Niel Armstrong created when he first stepped on the moon. This was our first true long journey into space involving humans working together to create a new frontier. Bill Shepard saw this as something very significant and I appreciate his efforts because I feel the same.
He didn't write the Log in Comic Sans he might not have written it on a computer. Scott Manley couldn't find a PDF in a different font other than that Lmao
5:52 "Some people say that Comic Sans lacks gravitas, but the ISS literally lacks gravity" Scott, you should know better! The ISS is only staying in orbit because of gravity
That's the thing, things did not go well. There were a lot of delays on russian side and even a risk of russians abandoning project several times. Luckily, whole thing ended up well.
I remember reading about the ISS being assembled in elementary school, before the first launch. I also remember thinking "wow, this will never get finished, will it?" Time flies.
Excellent video, Scott! Thank you very much for it. The ISS is one of Mankind's greatest collaborative efforts, and it is frankly criminal that it won't be replaced with another, better, version.
Fantastic video, however, I have always wondered how inflight refueling of the Zvezda Module would work. you said the progress m1 variant was used to "top up the tanks" but did this consist of an external connection between tanks or some internal system? Could be a good video for "what kerbal doesnt teach" Keep up the great videos!
Zvezda is basically Mir-2, like Mir it has docking ports that contain connections for transferring propellant. When a Progress docks it can transfer some of its fuel (up to 1.7 tonnes) to the tanks on Zvezda and Zarya. It doesn't need any EVA work or anything to transfer propellant, the connection is just a part of the docking interface. The ESA's ATV resupply vessel was also able to transfer propellant in this way when it was running. Usually the preference is to use the resupply vessel's thrusters as much as possible to boost the station and then top up the ISS's tanks, since Zvezda's engines have a limited service life and they want to get as much longevity out of them as possible.
@@rocketsocks Even more than that - Zvezda is basically Salyut 8. The DOS space station module hasn't changed much since Salyut 1, except technological advances and some external changes (mostly arrangement of solar panels)
@@k1productions87 Zvezda is DOS 8, but would be Salyut 9 (with the Mir core module being DOS 7/ Salyut 8.) Salyut 6 (DOS 5) was the first of the DOS stations to have two docking ports, and to allow refueling from Progress cargo vessels.
@@KnightRanger38 Oh yes yes, you are correct, Salyut 9. Salyut 7 and Mir were both flying at the same time for a while. I only wished to point out the Salyut lineage, which is an awesome story in itself, and doesn't get nearly as much attention that it deserves

In a few years, the Moon will be an International Space Station. Hey, scott, that was beautiful. I’ve been following the mission on a daily basis since Expedition 33. So many brave, amazing, intelligent humans have been involved. 👍🏻🎼👍🏻

Nicely done Scott. I enjoyed your reading of the change of command log entry. It seems fitting that as we enter a new era here on earth that you be the reader of the Alpha log. We may be on the brink of a change of command here at home. As I think back to that log I am fearful of yet hopeful for the future. Fly safe.
In 1996 I walked through a life size mock up of the MIR station at an exhibit outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Crazy tight quarters. Chops to the cosmonauts.
I am 35, and wow, I don't even remember the times it was build. I guess I wasn't paying attention around that time, as I was 15, and didn't understand the scale, nor had access to Internet to really learn all this. By the time I understood it, it was already fleshed out station, that I tough was there forever. Still 20 years is so crazy long time actually. And there is still many things to come in the future.
@@gordonrichardson2972 Living in central Europe also, so it wasn't really a news either. And back then, they didn't live streamed stuff. Damn, they probably still used CRTs and magnetic tape cameras.
I remember in 4th grade reading in Kids Time that Mir was about to burn up in the atmosphere, later the grade i remember getting a book about the ISS with 95% accuracy of what it looks like today, what a time to be alive
That log entry was only missing a Kirk or Picard signature :) Maybe they used Comic Sans as the most handwriting looking font at hand at the time? (And not too cursive either.)
Possibly details about portions of the station that are similar to military hardware, something for security of the station, comparing the station to some previous work that is classified, or talking about the shuttle which could have some classified details.

I need to learn Russian to know how beautiful that must have sounded in that language!
And to think that some people think the ISS is a waste of money or even doesn't exist (despite the fact that you can see it with the naked eye). The contributions the ISS has made to mankind, could fill a book. Actually, it has.
0:49 Another reason why the crew couldn't stay is because Unity and Zarya modules don't have life support. Zvezda module would bring in life support in 2000.

It would probably get distributed around, but the money is irrelevant. I think the ISS is a great candidate
I'm sure it could and it should!
Great video Scott!
Damn, that's wild. I was 12 years old when we launched the first pieces to the ISS
Oh my,. he should say something about that font.. .. ah there we go..
Great video Scott! As always.
I am 35, and wow, I don't even remember the times it was build. I guess I wasn't paying attention around that time, as I was 15, and didn't understand the scale, nor had access to Internet to really learn all this. By the time I understood it, it was already fleshed out station, that I tough was there forever. Still 20 years is so crazy long time actually. And there is still many things to come in the future.
Very few people had access to the internet 20 years ago, and space fans were limited to a few geeks.
@@gordonrichardson2972 Living in central Europe also, so it wasn't really a news either. And back then, they didn't live streamed stuff. Damn, they probably still used CRTs and magnetic tape cameras.
Who is cutting onions? That was beautiful.
I remember in 4th grade reading in Kids Time that Mir was about to burn up in the atmosphere, later the grade i remember getting a book about the ISS with 95% accuracy of what it looks like today, what a time to be alive
Good stuff Scott
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing :-)
That was a good one Scott.
Beautiful video! Beautiful words! 🙀
This is why your the best. Space Lore.
That log entry was only missing a Kirk or Picard signature :)
Maybe they used Comic Sans as the most handwriting looking font at hand at the time? (And not too cursive either.)
But it had Archer’s?😢
What would be considered “Redacted” material on board the ISS so early in its operations?
well easy, its [Data expunged]
Same question here. Its a civilian facility. This should all be public record.
Possibly details about portions of the station that are similar to military hardware, something for security of the station, comparing the station to some previous work that is classified, or talking about the shuttle which could have some classified details.
@@miraflynn8935 probably a mixture of what you said and personal details about the crew that.
@@miraflynn8935 I don’t believe the shuttle itself ever had classified details(classified missions, yes). Best bet, ask NASA for an explanation.
"SHIP'S LOG 0000 01 JAN 2001
We sail onboard space station "alpha"
Orbiting high above Earth, still in night
Traveling our destined journey
Beyond realm of sea voyage or flight
A first New Year is upon us
Eight strikes on the bell now as one
The globe spins below on its motion
Counting the last thousand years done
15 midnights to this night in orbit
A clockwork not of earthly pace
Our day with different meaning now
In this, a new age and place"
.. .. .. .. I need to learn Russian to know how beautiful that must have sounded in that language!
that last log almost made me cry.
where is all of this spirit now?
Wow there's so much history on the ISS
I’m 20 years old but am older than the amount of occupied time of the ISS. I feel like that’s a pretty rare group.
Great one, thanks a lot!
That was inspiring! Great job
Alpha would have been a good name for the ISS. Of course the song from Chris Hadfield would have to be different too. Nice video, Scott.
Good, my visit to youtube straight gives me this video
And to think that some people think the ISS is a waste of money or even doesn't exist (despite the fact that you can see it with the naked eye). The contributions the ISS has made to mankind, could fill a book. Actually, it has.
8:40 Seeing an old video of people shaking hands takes my brain a second to adjust to...Like oh yeah that's a thing we used to be able to do.
Thank you.
So that is where the quote "I'm Scott Manley, fly safe" comes from 😊
0:49 Another reason why the crew couldn't stay is because Unity and Zarya modules don't have life support. Zvezda module would bring in life support in 2000.
