If it could actually hold fuel in its structure that would be really cool but it’s not built like that unfortunately. I’m sure we will eventually have a huge depot in space though. Like in the next decade or two
so iv been wondering why must the entire iss be deorbited couldn't they detach the older modules and deorbit them and add the newer modules to a new core it seems like a massive waste to loose so much equipment that could potently be used for decades more
The "new" models are still 15 years old. Leonardo (logistic module) was 2010, Harmony (node 2) was 2007, Columbus was 2008, and Kibo was 2008. (No body wants Nauka). Taking Node 2 with Columbus and Kibo attached to it might make sense until you realize it would take several space walks to disconnect the models and even then there is no guarantee that the Common Berthing Mechanism will disconnect. Metal can actually weld itself together in space. Axiom Space will be building a new space station onto the ISS starting in 2026 and that will disconnect from the ISS to be its own station.
A proper salvage infrastructure including metal recycling equipment could see the tons of loose defunct satellites made into raw materials for a much larger space station hull welded to new fittings launched from Earth.
For sure. I second that "Thank You to NSF". I just can't keep up with all that's going on. Hours of footage lately and no time to keep up with all the other events. Elysia speaks great Chinese too.
Ms. Segal, your vocal abilities are far beyond other TH-cam channels especially channel that use AI vocals. I find it hard to conceive an AI voice to be so abrasive, guess you can’t send a CPU chip to university to speak human, you’re doing an outstanding job!👍
The fact that they even launched the Starliner should be investigated. They obviously knew there was significant risk and just launched anyway. Boeing have really gone down the drain. Backhanders are the only reason they get any contracts.
@Mr_Battlefield I agree, it is a lot of mass, but could it be trimmed down and the core/truss boosted up to a higher or cycler orbit to be refurbished for deep space missions
Catch 22. You expend a lot of fuel to push it to a 'graveyard' orbit and the extra cost to get to that orbit, makes it economically unviable for tourist trips to the ISS Museum.
I can't imagine how stressful this must be for the families of the two astronauts who will be returning in Starliner. Boeing should be ashamed of themselves
I think they got new mics or new audio recorders or something. This happened to “The Space Race” recently too. Maybe it’s a TH-cam thing? The voice sounds so much more bass-ey. NSF would never use AI narration so don’t worry about that.
Dear International Space Station...I could see you from the ground. I watched your progress. I wish I had the chance, along with everyone else on Earth, to know you as the Astronauts did. Adieu. Goodbye
And to think, the spacesuits and everything else needed for the first moon missions was ready and tested in practically no time at all! When will NASA admit they never landed men on the moon. If it was so easy back in the 60s, why is it so difficult now?
It should NOT be deorbited! SpaceX should push it into a higher orbit and then attach SpaceX Star Ship tanks to it making refueling of Star Ships easier! The Station has already cost millions to put in orbit and a waste to just destroy it in the atmosephere! This would help SpaceX drasticly.
Recent studies on the cumulative effect of space trash re-entering the atmosphere and the activating effects on ozone depletion processes is a worrying indicator for the future. In light of this, I suggest that NASA should delay the de-orbit of the ISS before more studies are made.
I have a better idea! Since SpaceX will attach some type of powerful rocket to the ISS to deorbit it in a controlled manner, I think maybe SpaceX should use the same or slightly different rocket to send the ISS into a permanent orbit around the Moon and use it as a stepping stone to the Moon. I may be the first person to have this idea! Since obviously the ISS will have no further value or use to NASA, they could just donate it to SpaceX.
Seems like NASA won't cancel Starliner calypso because of congressional blowback but rather let the spacecraft self destruct for all to see, beyond doubt 😅
If any of the reactionless propulsion engines become reality in the near future, it may be practical to send ISS into a high Earth orbit or become a staging post for Mars missions. Very little over a long time in respect of thrust could achieve what is currently impractical.
Is the audio sync off or something? The the talking head piece seems off. Also since when are you showing "leaked" footage. You previously avoided to use various leaked images from SpaceX for example.
To all thos who believe we should lift the station to a higher orbit consider the miles on your car and how nice it would be to upgrade to a new one. The space station needs to have a near term end of life plan.
Wonderful content, thank you all. I've seen others ask... Delta 4 heavy earrings? or Falcon Heavy? The narrow fairing and what looks like single engines on each core make me guess Delta 4.
Great show. Love NSF, im a member. BUT what is with the Elysia's audio. Every time she does it it sounds so strange. Shes great, this isnt a comment on her. The audio feels like its somebody else's voice dubbed over the video...and badly. Have not noticed this in any of nsf's other videos.
Interesting question would be if the contract allows that. If nasa wants separate launch contract its very likely spacex has to design it in such way its initially compatibile with multiple commercial launch vehicles
I wonder how much more money our government will put into Starliner. Why are we putting money into a capsule when we have Dragon! 🤷🏽♂️🤔 And has the Starliner crew called SpaceX and Elon for an Uber ride home…cuz I wouldn’t get back on that thing!
They're not gonna be returning on Dragon, they're returning on Starliner. Just a lot later than originally planned because they want to keep gathering data on the service module while it's still in space.
These Old Space contractors just insist on becoming completely irrelevant in the modern space industry. I guess Collins has decided to give up on the 'space' portion of aerospace.
I’m glad spacex got the contract to deorbit the station, that means it will likely include starship & that gives me hope that spacex will bring some modules down safely. I feel like, even if NASA doesn’t pay them to do it, they’re the only ones mad enuf to do it anyways
I suppose that I'll never get to see 2 or 3 Falcon Heavies launch at the same time. Why would we have this? To launch a couple of parts of something massive to connect in space? But Importantly, so I can watch 4 or 6 boosters land at the same time!
You need an additional 4,100 m/s of delta V to do that. (9,200 mph in freedom units). You also need to make those changes in a suitable timeframe. The ISS can't handle those G loads.
The reason for the delay of the starliner return HAS BEEN announced, several times. NASA and Boeing have both given statements on their decision to study the helium leaks and thruster performance before burning the service module up on reentry.
SpaceX got $3.1B, and it took 4 years. Boeing got $4.8,/and has put over half a billion of their own money into it, and it's been 8 years. The reason for the delay is sheer incompetency,. Comoany management, Union management, and unionized employees. Everyone.
