Uhhh you docked a Soyuz and a Mercury together……it was an Apollo capsule…..
Great video anyway!
That would be quite a feat though, since the Soyuz design was initially flown on April 23, 1967, and the last flight of the Mercury spacecraft design flew on May 15, 1963. Perhaps Russia also had time-machines!?
Yes, the AI failed. Probably guided by dimensions. Soyuz is smaller than Apollo.
Remember Echo 2? January, 26th, 1964? 135 foot diameter inflatable silver sphere?
I believe there is a Norwegian town, which gets no sunlight during in winter months, that has set up a mirror on a nearby mountain to give the folks a little reflected sunlight.
It was a convex reflective surface, so much dimmer than direct sunlight.
@asianometry just did a video on this
this guy's just copying @asianometry
And it was better.
Him dying in the battle doesn't mean it didn't happen, it means the tactic wasn't as effective as intended at the very least though.
How it it possible that I just finished a video by Mustard about the Nautilus, and at the end he teased a video on this topic (which I cannot access without paying for a streaming service), and this gets posted today
I think the important thing is to consider the long-term negative effects these mirrors might pose to the earth, and landscapes that might be effective with too much sunlight redirecting to it.
There is a village in Italy, Viganella, that uses mirrors to beam sun into there deep valley during winter months. The villagers all agree that this improved their lives by a huge percentage.
Yes, the additional atmospheric heating would be the major concern.
@@DeontjieThis energy you point out is already in the Earths biosphere, Space energy is not..!
A little bit brighter than the full moon is not "too much sunlight" as you call it.
@@alexeykrylov9995 When it comes to new ways of technology and altering the atmosphere of the planet that always comes with ethical applications and safety of people.
Major mistake. You used Mercury / Soyuz at 3:53 when it was Soyuz / Apollo in the 70s - where Deke Slayton finally got to fly
Love the intro
2:30 But a lens is not a mirror. The focal length of a concave mirror can be whatever you want it to be depending on the curvature.
My first thought as well. Is there some physics reason this can't be done? And if so, why?
It just sounds like math to me. Just reduce the curvature of the reflector until the focal point is 1,000 miles away. Why is this impossible? Why would this even be difficult?
Hello from Moscow, it is sad to realize how Russia slowed down space race after Cold War and deconstruction of USSR
Maybe dont invade other countries?
Frees up resources
Now there are many countries more than capable of achieving amazing things in this regard. There are things some people don't understand, or remember, that made those times memorable.
@@GurumeierhansRussia isn’t famous for invading countries, the US is
@@kaboonali5466 Murica is a warmonger, thats true.
Still Russia is fighting an illegal war...
@@kaboonali5466 This is how russia is a biggest country in the world.
Thanks! Really interesting, I knew nothing about this project..
Man, that intro was epic!! 😎
Love your historical videos! 👍
Wow youtube why are you bcensoring-blocking normal comments on a science video? Video down voted because of YT censorship. Shalom
"I'm glad it didn't work out"
Meanwhile a company is currently working on this very project stating they will rent areas of daylight for events and emergency work like tornado/ hurricane cleanup.
Focus is the critical factor for the sun gun.
Sounds useful for Mars terraforming
Reaching out for permission to react to your videos
This was the plot point for one of the later James Bond films.
@3:04 - the problem with your diagram of a mirror producing a death ray from space is drawn wrong. The mirror's focal length must be the distance between the mirror and the item you wish to burn.
Yep. The graphic makes it appear that a lens or mirror cannot be built with a focal length suitable to the separation distance. The claim that a giant mirror in space could not be used as a heat type death ray is nonsense. There are other reasons that make it highly impractical, but not the focal length.
Love the way you go. Anyway maybe you need more knowledge to understand why there is still a similar problem. On the other hand, why were things rigurous only in before the nineties? Now everything is inaccurate, as this video.
3:56 uhh it's Apollo Soyuz, not mercury soyuz
it's on purpose to get people to leave comments. he sometimes makes ridiculous mistakes
Detente
No ants were harmed in the production of this video.
I just love your enthusiasm
Living in south/east Norway and having those long winter days/nights where at minimum theres 6 hours of sunlight on 21 December where I live (not too bad), it would be cool to extend it by a couple of hours in the evening to get up to 8 hours of light, if the mirror had some kind of on/off switch and not melt the snow too much 😁
The Space Race, remember your poll from June 13 saying that IFT 5 will most likely lift off in JULY? Yeah, I do 😂😂😂 I voted for “September+” only because there was no “October+” lol 😂😂😂
...or a reflector that redirects solar radiation from Earth's hot spots and reduces global warming?
It's pronounced "SEER-ah-Kyuz"...
didnt that asian space channel do the same topic video just a day before this one? i htink they did
Literally there is as company who is trying to come back with this same idea.
At one time, the USA was considering a satellite with a giant mirror that would convert sunlight to microwaves, then beam the microwaves down to a large antenna field on the Earth's surface. I don't think they got beyond the concept stage.
All I want is a freaking shark with a laser beam
"The obsessive militarization of the Soviet Union," and I'm bloody glad he was! Are we supposed to be upset that the Soviets managed to defeat the Nazis?!?
The allies defeated Germany.
Not the Soviets.
@@brothergrimaldus3836 80% of Axis casualties were caused by the Soviets. The vast majority of lend-lease didn't arrive until after Stalingrad. The Soviets defeated the Nazis.
@@brothergrimaldus3836 yes, that was plenty american troops in Stalingrad and Kursk batle
@@user-yu5sj7cw6y oh... you got me.
Hey, what is that going on over in the east? It's probably nothing.
@@brothergrimaldus3836 event west historians consider that is most key batles in WW2
Russia kidnapped Dr. Evil.
The Soviet Union was dissolved some time ago...I believe you meant the Russian Federation...
A good idea as long as you can turn it on and off.
The mirror has to constantly move to keep the sun reflecting toward the earth. The mirror is orbiting the earth and is in earth's shadow for much of that time.
At 3:50, not only did a Soyuz NOT dock with a Mercury capsule, the Mercury capsule is WAY out of scale to the Soyuz.
I can say i was here since 100k subscribers once you'll hit 3 million subs.
Seems there would be some use to 'blocking' the sun, like in the Arctic.
3:57 Gemini met Gemini in orbit, never docked. Gemini never met with Soyuz.
2:10 Buttercup...
Final conclusion very strange. I disagree
I believe there is a Norwegian town, which gets no direct sunlight during in winter months, that has set up a mirror on a nearby mountain to give the folks a little reflected sunlight.
Warming the Earth w/ a giant mirror... What could go wrong w/ that "idea"....
there is a giant fusion reactor in the sky tf is a tiny mirror gonna do
@@leight420 -
Is it pumping heat into the earth's atmosphere?
I don't have the working knowledge to say what it "Will" do, but IMO, changing the temp of ANY planet, isn't something that a species as stupid as ours should be doing for profit-driven reasons.
Earth is a "Goldie Lockes" planet. Just right... till Humans get their stupid, little hands on it....
Love the Updates
You sound like yammienoob that reviews motorcycles and stuff
He certainly interesting man, having been involved introducing conceiving of the docking collar for spacecraft. The thing thou, is the Solar Sail is being used today. NASA and a non-profit group are testing smaller scale version of them.
The chickens are going to have insonia.
Asianometry just covered this a day or two ago. Coincidence?
That final remark... What benifit would a place get from having perpetual sunlight?? Ummm.. Northern europe / asia / america... solar plant in the cold area's that have less particulates / humidity due to colder air.. 24 / 7 sunlight done with just a couple / few of the proposed final size? yeah, that could help with renewable energy alot
Good tthing they didn't, the permafrost would have melted. Destablizing every foundation and road would be catastrophic but I don't think they considered that. And of course, methane release would be hugh but nobody thought about that either.
What is old is new. . . A company called Reflect Orbital is proposing a constellation of such satellites. Proposed uses vary, but one would allow customers to call for sunlight on a specific position. Who knows if they'll actually make a go of it though.
There was a USA company called SBSP - Space Based Solar Power - aka Special BS Project - back in the noughties. And it had a successor. But the whole project has many practical problems.
50x the light of a full moon ! whoopy doo !!
They asked it which was the fairest state.
Solar panels that is all
How many times can you mispronounce "знамя"? Some odd name or word that only pops up once is forgivable, but when it's the subject of the video...sheesh!
You should study optics before it and avoid putting false videos about physics. And add something which is new. Almost all of us know the things you mention about the project
SOLUTION : FARM ENERGY, ftw....
Don't Fight The Systems ( Render them Obsolete🤔)
Upgrade from Gold to Energy Trade.
- GENERATE \ STORE \ CREATE
Our Own Energy AND Energy-Backed E-Currencies.
-RESOLVE
Our Own National Debts....
So sad the US - Russia relations deteriorated. Both sides did their share on this.
Russia 🇷🇺 started it when they started promoting terrorism and communism.
Other than Obama the Great, the USA did nothing to harm the relationship.
@@mrbaab5932 Yeah not really...i don't want to go deep here but basically USA is all over Russia's back door, be it Ukraine as the best example or the Far East states.
Should have hired FritoLays to build ones SpaceMirror. Checkout the inside of Cheetos bags.
PS didn't they realize the unending daylight would screw life on Earth. Killing bugs, killing plants, killing life?
Hello
Soviet entonces are grait
cool
3:00 Vladimir the who? Bro if you can't pronounce the name then do it with a google translate or at least write it on a screen
Сыромятников блять Sirom-yat-nee-kov
Yeah, Syromyatnikov. Pronouncing it that way 3:00, holy hell...
Thanks for interesting information.
But. 3:00 excuse me, but being a native I went to Google to search his name, because it's almost impossible to get it right. Сыромятников should be pronounced not like Sierro-Mayatnikov or whatever. For God's sake...
This is exactly the future of SpaceX , bad ideas can fool only some… 😂😂😂
Look at all these critical comments about minutiae. *Sigh.* The nerds are here.
Oh the drunkards actually got in orbit?
@Merku808 no family of mine, but I do have pretty all of British isle tied up, thegerman and French gets complicated
