Specian's Phun machines: Spacecraft docking

[TexanMonkey]

is it bad if this turned me on

[fly44d]

Nice except throwing steel balls out the back to make you move forward is a problem. Those balls are going to come back on the next orbit. Space already has enough debris in orbit. :-)

[Prozwolfx]

reminds me of a bad thought...

[TiTanAEfull]

looks like satelite sex

[Mattexism]

@TiTanAEfull yeah i said that for my self too lol

[jib1000]

Where is the realistic part?

Spacecraft definitely don't dock with a little rod.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

The Soyuz, Progress, a few parts of the ISS and a few older American systems use this. Its called the "Probe and Drogue" docking system. Comparitively the shuttle was the weird one for not doing so. Check "Spacecraft_Docking_and_Berthi­ng_Mechanisms#Docking_to_manne­d_spacecraft" on Wikipedia for more.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo Yeah no.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

Yeah, yes. Don't believe me then Google it. The first link that comes up with what I told you to search is the very article. I can't give you the direct link because youtube doesn't let you do that in comments. If you don't want to learn something then fine, be stupid, but I thought people watching this kind of video might just have some interest in gaining knowledge.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo lol

Yeah people who watch videos about spaceship docks in phun are always looking for knowledge.

Douche.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

You want to claim I'm a douche when you wrongly said this isn't realistic without knowing the facts? If you don't know anything about something, then say nothing at all instead of spreading false information. Mind you if you're happy living a life full of misinformation without proof, I'm guessing you're a religious man?

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo Nope i have common sense.

Why would we develop a method of joining two ships that has no way of exchanging information or materials?

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

It does have ways to exhange materials. The two yellow parts in this phun model would be where the hooks are for producing the hard dock, once hard dock is established the probe is freed. The probe and drogue docking parts are fitted on the doors themselves, so you just travel through the doors they are attached to. The system takes up a lot of room but makes docking simpler, as the tolerances are pretty wide. Instead of threading a needle, threading a hoop.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo Yeah except you left no room for any doors or anything cause you made your "dock" the width of the spacecraft. I rest my case.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

Like I said, the soft docking mechanism simulated here is part of the door, and doesn't stay locked together once a hard dock is established with a the ring around the outer perimeter - which takes no room at all. The proof of it working is on this video here youtube.com/watch?v=srQdr6kGii­4#t=256s <- you can actually see the probe and drogue mechanisms on the doors from inside the ISS and soyuz side on this video. - its used, it works, people can get through them. Case closed.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo lol

[luketorpedo]

A retrospective lol indeed. I've given you two sources of proof of this being the system used. You've given me attitude with "Douche" and "Yeah no" until finally disproven all you have to say is "lol". Reflect on this and try to give not so much people a chance to teach you something, but a chance for you to learn something yourself. People haven't got to be Ignorant or Arogant, unless they choose to be.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo Thats true. You don't have to be ignorant, you chose to be. I've mentioned before that this system as you've shown it IS NOT being used anywhere and has never been used. No where in the history of space flight has what you've shown here been used. Yes something similar in conjunction with an actual dock has been, but never a single dock thats as wide as the spacecraft and nothing else. I'm right, you're wrong, case closed.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

Don't try and wriggle out of your original statement. Your original statement was "spacecraft definitely don't dock with a rod" and I've proved you wrong with two different sources, one of them actually being footage ON the space station, that they do indeed use a rod. The width of the system is immaterial, and using the width of this model is utterly unrelated to the arguement. A rod IS being used in examples of real spacecraft docking. You. Are. Wrong.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo Actually no you're wrong. Docking is not simply the method by which two craft connect to each other. Docking is the method by which two space craft exchange materials, personnel, or data. This cannot be achieved with a rod.

YOU. ARE. WRONG.

I guess making each word a sentence makes it better.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

Wikipedia -> "Spacecraft docking, the process of joining one spacecraft or space station module to another." Free Dictionary onlin -> ? "v. docked, dock·ing, docks

v.tr.

1. To maneuver (a vessel or vehicle) into or next to a dock.

2. To couple (two or more spacecraft, for example) in space."

What you are talking of, the hatch opening, is hours after docking, when the vehicles are DOCKED, and the pressures between hatches are equalized. They are two different processes.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo lol

When you talk about a ship the dock isn't the rope you tie it up with. Its the wooden (or steel or concrete or whatever) platform that you off load materials or personnel. No one (even astronauts) thinks like you do. When ANYONE says that two ships are docked (or that the iss and a ship are docked) they mean that the two ships are connected, sharing atmosphere etc.

Face it YOU ARE WRONG.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

"Two ships are connected" That is the only meaning to DOCKED with spacecraft. I gave you two examples from dictionaries which specify SPACECRAFT in the example, I won't face anything. Your arguement from the start was spacecraft don't dock with a rod. I shown you they do. You're now trying to claim docking is something it isn't. If you can prove to me thats the case, maybe I'll accept it - not that you could when faced with proof. How about you face something - You're a moron.

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo LOL

i guess the rope and ship analogy is too complicated for you.

You're wrong, your phun design is stupid and flawed, and you can't even understand simple English. Its alright that you are willfully ignorant, but don't run around calling other people a moron simply because your little video is stupid.

[luketorpedo]

@jib1000

Thanks for finally giving some piece of hard proof like I asked. The proof you're a moron. See you're saying I can't understand english, Implying I can't read (I did see your part about ships and ropes; yes the dock is what you moor up to in a BOAT, but when you are moored you are DOCKED - it is not cargo or crew transfer itself that denotes docking,) But you see the proof you're a moron is here - "your phun design" "your little video is stupid" - This isn't my video dumbass! .."LOL"

[jib1000]

@luketorpedo LOL

Moron.

[meteor4163]

@jib1000 Just look at the Wikipedia article and see the photos of real spacecraft that docks that way (like Soyuz) you troll.

I have figured out how the system works (It's not complicated) like 10 minutes after the first picture I have seen of the Soyuz door.

[jib1000]

@meteor4163 Wrong

[Zach123187]

This isn't that good. It's okay. But I think I could do better, while still keeping it realistic.

[lolman14561]

i have a cupple of ideas for this myself take 2 small pins to where it has like a even lenth cut it in half hunge it and put balls on the ends do the same thing on the other side execpt for balls put closible hooks for the balls and then transfer

[stjfa]

I fell asleap...

[Kargaroc286]

The video quality is ass

[fatloaf2]

i used to be pure...

[dthhretic666]

at :17, phun spaceship sex?

[Argwm]

That was pretty nice, I love your propulsion Technique.

And Nice retracting Mechanism .

I'm guessing the outer legs are the Walkways?

[ASlipperyBannana]

lol anal prrobe :D...:(

[BlackBandit1923]

Spacecraft Sex

[manoffire11]

heheh

[rawbydabawby123]

r they a happy family now? btw my friend just said to me he had an erocktion

[thingthing899]

umm... i don think dat was a rocket

[Asdam12]

And this stuff is uploaded to YouTube why?(Certainly not for the comments...)

Great video!

[BugattiFan301]

that just looks wrong. lol

[kamilfreeman]

space orgy lol

[thore44]

mars porn

[carbnon]

wow you need to look this up on the net and looked at a vid to find out how they did this

[metelmanJames]

i think i just got an eROCKtion. lol Flintstones ftw

[ninjasquidface]

hahahaha :D 'and thats how babys r made'

[harmv1234]

and thats how babies r made

[foozy12]

lol

looks like sex lmao and the red looks like red sperms

[yonnyboy3]

ur so retarded lol

[Cvan242]

This reminds me of something...lol

[mikaroo222]

LMAO THAT LOOKS WRONG! the ship looks like a 8===D and the dock looks like a (sorry, I couldnt draw 1, too complicated)

[Profile12345678910]

not really,try this >> () that's the best i can do :P

[Eyeling1312]

you know,8==D and (_o_)

[zbrolyz]

lol

[doomhunt1]

LOL IT LOOKS SO FUNNY PM me if you want to know why

[chickencowman]

LMAO i think we all know why...

[flamingwolf8794]

You, my friend, win the internet.

[party4lifedude]

maby if yours is a skinny stick with a ball thng on top of it then maby it looks a litle funny but the only way it looks wrong is because everyone else besides a few pepole make everything that is a stick look like a penis espeshaly if toy are doing a normal task like closing a door or turning of a light switck pepole always say your nasty for no reson just because a stick and a small hole is involved in whatever your doing...for instance seting up a tent

[party4lifedude]

althogh that dose look like something from health class if you know what i mean

[Slyanimationz]

lol i was thinking the same thing xD

[party4lifedude]

wen i sead toy it meant you sorry

[james510123]

LAWL

[joewizard100]

yeah you can tell cuz thats what your's looks like lol (you have a penis & vagina)

[blakktiger]

The fact you explained the joke makes it the worst. Ever.

[Exoskull969]

just about to say that myself!

[halobignoob]

lol!

[Pestilence86]

Ooooh yeah baby. Lemme dock !

[insanebuddy720]

am i the only one who was turned on by this?

[cox7000]

this is a penis!!!!

[halobignoob]

im laffin my ass of! ur funny as hell

[randomenvelope]

were do u download these screen cameras?

[CrazyMonkey124]

all of your phuns r great could you send me this file thats so much

[zxxmarioparodyxx]

i got an idea!

make a whole bunch of things that can shoot

and have a thing like that and make

THE DESTRUCTO-BOT

lulz  !

[andyphun2008]

That is awesome! Do you work for NASA?

[Inductan]

No....

[JDKmedeng]

nice, but is there any type of transfer allowed in that one?

[Inductan]

I'm working on it :)

[JDKmedeng]

nice. i need to start making this kind of stuff. i'll have something soon though :)

[mxcnprd10]

Nice !
