Explore the fascinating history of the ISS, its contributions to science, and the plan to retire it by 2031. What’s next for human presence in space? Discover NASA’s ambitious replacements!
1:48 while space exploration is not cheap, but be aware that NASA's annual budget is currently 0.5% of the US federal budget, so the down the back of the couch is not far from the truth. Even during Apollo, NASA's budget peaked at 4% of the US federal budget. So while space exploration, not cheap, it's far from a drain on tax payers. Makes you wonder what they're actually spending tax payers money on 🤷♂️
See, my thought is to preserve it, but in a truly awesome way.
See, boost it out to a vastly distant orbit. Proceed to do this all of our space tech as it becomes obsolete, including shuttles, the mockups of various rovers and probes, all in the same orbit and speed.
Then, in the far future when we can build much larger stations, build a space museum in orbit, going just a tiny fraction slower. Along the viewing windows, enhanced with zoom features, you could then watch the steady progression of humanity's space advancement.
Tis a distant and unlikely dream, but it's one I'm rather fond of.
The next space station to replace the ISS should rotate it will give the astronauts artificial gravity so instead of floating their feet will be firmly placed on the floor also the next space to replace the ISS should be capable of housing a few thousand people.
So if the first piece of the ISS launched in 1998, what space station or satellite did I see in the early 80s? I called it the ISS at the time but it hadn't been built yet?
A consideration for putting the ISS in a higher orbit over crashing into the Pacific is that as it re-enters the atmosphere it will not simply break up and shed parts but will also leave a rather large cloud of micro particles made of metals and other synthetic materials in the upper atmosphere. We know this happens every time a starlink satellite falls back to earth because we have observed it several times. The ISS being the size that it is has the potential to create a cloud that could block the sun enough for a noticeable length of time. For more clarification on what is going through my mind checking The Year without summer
Context: ISS cost to the US over it's 20+ year lifetime (including construction and maintenance) about $200 billion (or about 10-11 billion per year so far). US annual military budget in 2023… $916 Billion… for ONE year… Could you imagine the scientific endeavors the human race could do if we: A) stopped wanting to kill one another. B) Just decided to be LESS murder-ry to one another so we spend less on bombs etc. We are such a stupid, miserable species.
The ISS should be broken down into the parts that are most desired and the rest we don’t want burned in atmo. Then what we want trucked to the moon since it’s already in orbit then landed on the moons surface where it could serve as the first habitats. Or buried in an attempt to preserve what should be considered the greatest display of international cooperation the Earth has ever seen.
The most expensive thing about ALL space programs is getting it into orbit. Just an idea for the future,.. why not put the ISS and other defunct satellite's on a slow collision course to the moon? The materials of this 'space junk' would save billions! What do I know eh?
8:58 unless you are trying to find life. So far, the probes we have sent to other planets are incapable of finding life on Earth, so constantly sending them out to look for life is also pointless.
Boeing wishes to make a Space Station? I am confused, usually you need to successfully achieve space travel for you to go those sorts of things and to prove you can actually do it
So the ISS is getting outdated. Instead of building a new 1 ever decade or so, NASA has chosen to build 3 at the same time??? Wow, ZERO common sense with that decision… 🤦♂️
I bet some of the critics probably had no issues with well over $100B wasted on the Ukraine money pit. 🤦🏻♂️
Pretty sure Robyn Gatens uses she her pronouns because shes a woman…
The next space station should exclude Russia China.. only Allies only.

Shame we cant drag it to the moon, use it as a basic future moon base. I know, i know…. Never going to happen for many reasons
Now it's time for the ISSS – The International Super Space Station.
How bout combine with China space station, ❌ "cöld" wär
Found Waldo!
horizontal striped shirt.. bad for my eyes.. try vertical.. how do you feel about paisley?

Sell it for scrap.

Really Simon wtf are you?, how many of you are there? how many videos do you record in a day? how many channels can you spawn?
Why cant they just propel the ISS out of the solar system?

I'd rather it be preserved in space than dumped into an already precarious ecosystem.

"Give it to the private sector and let them foot the bill" 🤣😂 Never heard that one before, bout peed myself.
So much nerd sex happened up there
Couldn't finish this video due to the plosives at just 1:27. Helps if you don't try to eat the damn mic.

The amount of channels is getting ridiculous 😂
