SpaceX is sending four people on a wild - and risky - mission into space, marking the first spacewalk conducted by a private company and a citizen astronaut. Here's what you should know. #CNN #news #SpaceX #PolarisDawn
@@amauryaracena yea I picked up Scott in front of Space X, midway the ride I looked at him and asked him about space X I told him how cool it would be to go to space and then he casually tells me ohh I’m going up there soon on Polaris mission and I looked at him and I’m like oh shit he looks like an astronaut. And of course I began asking him all kinds of questions, he explained to me everything that they were going to do, about how they were going to open Dragon and have a walk. And that he’s the pilot and has flown thunderbirds..very humble cool guy, he didn’t even have to talked to me but he did , he even shook my hand after I dropped him off(which no Uber rider has ever shaken my hand lol) it was about a 25 min ride
It took me awhile to figure out they're protecting the crew from the rest of the population. My brain was screaming they won't get germs in the vacuum of space!!!!
The belts extend from an altitude of about 640 to 58,000 km (400 to 36,040 mi) above the surface, in which region the radiation levels vary. Apollo astronauts did this in stride with minimum risk. Twice in each trip.
@@ElectricSmurf the Apollo capsules hull was just a thin sheet of aluminum. Thats not going to stop much if any radiation, so there will be little difference if a capsule is open or closed. That said their estimated exposure for the Polaris dawn mission is similar to what astronauts on the ISS absorb in about 3 months.
Oh wow, this is actually pretty sick. When I read the caption I just assumed it was a military operation. I guess that shows where my expectations lie with humanity😅
Why why would they fly them into that type of radiation and not have adequate shielding to protect them? There are certain types of radiation there that we have no defenses against in which to protect us??????
Actually it doesn't. Vacuum doesn't suck or do anything. Instead, it is the pressurized environment inside the spacecraft or space suit that is pushing outward.
Meanwhile back on Earth, famine, war, extreme poverty, oppression and untold human suffering. If we can solve all the complex problems of sending men and women into space, solving humanity’s suffering here on earth should be a doddle. So WHY are children still lying awake at night hungry? 😢🙏🇬🇧
“If we can go on a scientific mission, why can’t we solve every problem that has been commonplace in human civilization since it’s beginning?” Fixed it for you.
Gotta get them rads up if you wanna test the suits and capsule for a trip to mars. No Van Allen radiation belt for protection for a few years on that one-way trip
@ThatOpalGuy Considering they are a rcoket company, obviously there main customer is going to be the government. The difference is other government contract are paid to build something, then try build it. SpaceX starts working on their next technology before they receive any government funding. Other companies are paid billions by NASA to develop suits. No other company would take the time, resources and money to just develop suits on their own. Only SpaceX.
Uh, flying into the Van Allen belt at the peak of the solar cycle isn't a great idea! Combine that with an EVA, full capsule depress, and a 45 minute repress time... I give them a 50% chance at best. Is Elon making a space snuff film??
It is sad that we have to worry about enemies, and perhaps even allies who are really hidden enemies, causing atmosphere leaks or infecting the other crew members with a debilitating illness, but such is the reality when dealing with humans.
@@Itsallfun3000 They have been tested in vacuum chamber already. These are very similar to the ones already used on crew launch missions by spaceX because they have to be ready encase of cabin pressure loss
@angusstuff you're right but you know how things are there is no substitute for the real deal but I will be watching with interest, I hope you enjoy it
@@Astrolavey Polaris Dawn, will spend 48 hours prior to spacewalk, transitioning the interior atmosphere to 100% oxygen. Afterwards back to normal atmosphere, prior to splashdown. Resulting in 100% blood oxygen at spacewalk… which seems to be one purpose… Or this information is somehow misinformation or basically just wrong… SpaceX, did redesign the Polaris Dawn spacesuits, by introducing anti-static electricity materials, after testing… Go figure Grok 2(Beta), sees it as a preventative measure against space sickness… given the limited amenities onboard Crew Dragon 2. The mission is heavily involved in space medicine and continuous monitoring and testing of the astronauts during the duration of the flight.
Seems like an air lock - even a temporary panel - might be better. If a blast of space sand punctures the space suit or comms breakdown from EM while a brittle suit leaks or .... something I can't think of, would rather that happen two by two. I know, these are smart, hopefully careful people so they will be Ok, but it seems like a lock might be a bit better.
@@michaelbee8263 Other than one on the ISS itself. I guess that would be adding a lot of weight. It looks like Apollo didn't have one either. And apparently they operate at a fraction of our atmospheric pressure in capsule and just breath pure oxygen. If they do encounter something excessive they might retake cover faster without an airlock. If I'm reading correctly, you've got about 15 seconds before you loose consciousness under no pressure.
It appears fully perilous! Can those suits enter a contaminated radio active area and not have material problems, seepage or permeation of radiation and cosmic energies? Even success will be frought with long term studies on their health and genetic stability. Send robots!
Elon Musk: “Well I think it looks so ridiculous and impossible, and you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake, honestly… (laughter ensues)…we’d have way better CGI if it’s fake” That quote shold be under everh space X transmission🤷♂️
The total physical embodiment of the words,”Ego Trip.” EVAs heretofore required about two years of specific training to be done safely. At least they talked them out of actually exiting the craft. Is that really an EVA or just sticking one’s head out of the fishbowl? If they succeed what is gained? If they fail(die) what is lost?
How is this an “ego trip”? What? Because the commander is rich that means he must only do things for ego? Idk that sounds like jealous projection to me not actually logic You do realise they have been training for this for 2 years right? This mission is 2 years of training and preps. You’d know that if you knew anything about it They’ll also be doing additional research such as wearing contacts to measure eye pressure, the first in space X-ray using solar radiation as a source and many of other scientific objectives How about you stop being a cunt? Would that be hard?
Why windows? Wouldn't be better for the structural integrity of the craft to use cameras instead? Smaller openings on the hull. Makes no difference? Just curious.
Well Kristen , if you were the mission commander you could protect ship and crew easily by out-radiating the feeble radiation belt with your radiant beauty!!! Did I oversell it? Well it's true!
It's a fine line between trainers and fighters. Even the T-37 had the A-37 variant. It's all a matter of how you use them. Take a T-38... swap out that travel pod for a bomb rack, and all of a sudden you have an AT-38. Essentially the same plane, just employed differently. But yeah, if she cares about professional cred, she won't make mistakes like that.
Seems like the more I learn the more I believe maybe we shouldn't be out there the human body is too fragile and even if we could attain the speed of light there would be challenges there as well
The human was just as fragile if not more when we left Africa, yet we used our technology to better ourselves and have conquer every continent on this planet and Low Earth Orbit.
I don't give AF. There are 2 astronauts stranded in the ISS. Never trained for long missions. But hey congrats on a billionaire getting his rocks off. ❤
Meanwhile, at Boeing...
Ouch. Painful, but deserved.
Hope security is tight I'd be more worried about some shareholding boeing "agent" messing with this flight to make X look bad 😮
@@SparcImagination More like the guy who used to do helium for Boeing now works at SpaceX.

Uber driver here. I had the opportunity to drive pilot Scott. Picked him from space X to a gym he was so down to earth really cool guy..
Could you share more your experience?

@Anti-u4ever That is an awesome story. I'm glad you had that cool experience.
@@Anti-u4ever This is because astronauts have to have a strong communication skill.
@@amauryaracenain case they have to communicate with aliens.
Damn, no I'd watch CNN a lot more if they had this reporter or on all the shows

Haha... That's funny! 😂
👍 EXCELLENT LOL MOMENT! 😂
And there are four of them here too.
Or controlled by alien parasites. Ask Johnny Depp. 😅 (ASTRONAUTS WIFE)
Are we looking to make mutants? If so, where are the moral parameters?

Fuck yeah or alien butt probes :(
Fantastic four
It took me awhile to figure out they're protecting the crew from the rest of the population. My brain was screaming they won't get germs in the vacuum of space!!!!
Your brain is warped. Why would they quarantine them from the people if they haven’t even been to space yet to catch space germs.
Humanity needs more of these trailblazers. Let's go!
The announcer is beautiful.

@@josephsonora3787I love all the CNN women too. They are intelligent, classy and beautiful.

That’s scary and it doesn’t seem like a risk we need to be taking with their lives. We should do one thing at a time.

Why?
Sure they are

Sounds unnecessarily risky.
Thank you J rod!!!!❤❤
Godspeed Polaris Dawn!
Empire
It is wonderful to fly and enjoying flying safe and sound thank God❤
I don't know about this. It could end badly.
I heard that the vacuum of space really sucks
Actually it doesn't. Vacuum doesn't suck or do anything. Instead, it is the pressurized environment inside the spacecraft or space suit that is pushing outward.
It's like American space exploration got off the short bus.they were doing this 60 years ago and now the rockets are still exploding.
Is this like the new teaser for Fantastic 4?
Well, that blows the theory that we can’t leave orbit for the flat earth
Polaris Dawn? ... I read about them in Time Magazine.
Risky mission seems to be the legacy media take on this. Why?
When launch?
Awesome !❤😊
Ask Megadeth 🤘
Hey
Good luck.
Why do I get the vibe that the most expensive part of this mission is going to be liability insurance 😂
This is what it means to b a astronaut

Quit using the word “we” and replace that word with “I”…. Then you can spend all the money you make as you’d like.
“If we can go on a scientific mission, why can’t we solve every problem that has been commonplace in human civilization since it’s beginning?”
Fixed it for you.
Thanks 🫡🫡🥰🥰🤝🤝
😮
Of course nothing could go wrong.
You mean compared to Boeing?
Radiation smadeation. We don't need no stinkin' air lock.
You get a cute thumbs up, indeed....!
Thank God for brave people !
CNN reported is awesome !
look its bellow lower layer of van allen radiation belts it will be a ionic radiation belts still but its not in to the belt
Where do I sign up
The crew definitely needs to wear double layer of tinfoil hats
Sweet
Gotta get them rads up if you wanna test the suits and capsule for a trip to mars. No Van Allen radiation belt for protection for a few years on that one-way trip
Are those Elon musks space suits?
Yep.
They are the first fully privately funded space suits. They received 0 government funding to develop the suits.
@wisemanofsorts6068 lol. Never mind that spacex wouldn't exist with billions in tax payer dollars.
@ThatOpalGuy Considering they are a rcoket company, obviously there main customer is going to be the government. The difference is other government contract are paid to build something, then try build it. SpaceX starts working on their next technology before they receive any government funding.

@@ThatOpalGuy It's as if you don't understand that SpaceX saves NASA large amounts of money compared with their competitors.
DragonX is Richard Branson.
Flying straight into the radiation belt. What could possibly go wrong? 🤔😜
Sounds kind of dumb to get radiated on purpose.
😮
And you need to keep your cheeks tight because of the Alien Probes…
Uh, flying into the Van Allen belt at the peak of the solar cycle isn't a great idea! Combine that with an EVA, full capsule depress, and a 45 minute repress time... I give them a 50% chance at best. Is Elon making a space snuff film??
Elon is at home counting the $$
ok, risky..
..and how 'bout the delays? are they planned ones? parts of the show?
Covid time ? Time travel to 2021 ? 😮😂
Okay. But those 1930s Buck Rogers space suits still look utterly ridiculous.
0% risk
Let's see if the land on the moon this time 🤣
What was the point of flying them in so high an orbit?
Radiation risk in the coming years will be apparent when cancer problems start
You mean they are going up and not gonna rescue the two stranded astronauts? Judging by the history of Space X launches so far.....they are doomed.
Maybe they aren’t as stranded as the media had us believe
Radiation? I wouldn’t want to come back as a human rock.
It is sad that we have to worry about enemies, and perhaps even allies who are really hidden enemies, causing atmosphere leaks or infecting the other crew members with a debilitating illness, but such is the reality when dealing with humans.
I have more faith in a private company than NASA based on their flight record from the last few years.
Aa an aside, wow, is it hot outside...they are even closing sone schools
cool, if it's in the name of science , and not profit or selfie ops
When is launch time?
All this risk taking for tourism business… I hope they return safely.
No they are testing the suits and doing other experiments on this mission.
Blue Origin is about Space Tourism.
They didn’t say what the goal of this mission was?
is it not obvious
