Why doesnt the UN fund Reaction engines to make the next leap in spaceflight.
The skylon is a produceable rocket. Its more then twice as sheap as a spaceshuttle and earns rendability by 100times as its fully reusable, just like a airliner.
Concerning the lifetime of a skylon vehicle it can get 1kg into orbit for just 900Euro's. Versus, a chemical rocket (20.000euros per kg to orbit)
Why dont we yet use methane propulsion for leo orbits.
It has all been on paper since decades, It lacks labor.
There will never be any space travel beyond LEO by privatized American space companies. Space will be reduced to a shameful joy ride for billionaires and spectacular feats of space-based advertising. The glory of discovery and national pride will be replaced by the filthy feel of commerce. A money-grubbing venture full of unsavory characters.
Only government can acquire the capital to go to the moon again. Unfortunately, the global debt pyramid scheme to finance such a venture is exhausted.

When it come to space exploration, its either cheaper or safer. I think craft that fly to orbit are the future,Theyre cheaper! But since NASA is abandoning manned systems, we need a quick alternative and Space X is probably it. WE can't rely on government and fickle politicians. Private individuals will do it.
@spacevidcast ohh succes-rate? how many sojus exploded? how many Kosmonauts:Astronauts died? 4:14 ! and the Spaceshuttle program have 135 flights since beginning. sojus has nearly 300 since 1990 alone! and many more since 1967. and how costly is the sojus in $/kg.
10 times cheaper!
succes rate hey? :-)
btw the sojus will flight for next 30 years... the NASA even cannot supply the ISS now and for the next years.
these thing wont affect the space exploration much unless we look ,not just look but make a new propulsion system(rocket science has gone old fellas),we shud stop talking abt free energy or antigravity rather make one,gvt shud fund space science heavily coz we humans are explorers n we have been searching new homes n places since our dawn.
@ceasefire066 There's not much we can afford beyond standard chemical rockets for human exploration. Even that costs 10,000 dollars per pound to go to low earth orbit. People don't have an interest in space, so it isn't getting the funding it should (0.58% of the annual budget-18 billion dollars). There's nothing else we can sustainably afford at present, and won't for several years.
True, its very expensive. And it would always be expensive.
But the main reason it is expensive is because governments have never funded the economy or made a serious strategic plan to either educate people or to develop space based businesses.
America added trust to a few jet propulsion manufacturers like lockheed martin, and most of our current space endeavours were funded by nasa, lockheed, pratt and whitney, some affiliated partners of those companies, but thats where
our global sound in spacetravel basically stalls. There are thousands of airline companys, thousands of companys involved to leading it and manufacturing planes.
To the matter of spacetravel,
the amount of companys involved can be added by the fingers of one hand alone.
And somehow we critize others for challanges we havent met while the reason we havent is painfully obvious.
Which scholar is going to build the future?
Nobody, because nobody is adequately trained or instructed to foundate
If presidents after kennedy decided to maintain a economic growth to invest space travel with, invest in space instead of warfare. Then we would now pay 500bucks for a trip to orbit.
But politicians havent,
Politicians and government build schools. Atleast they should have, but they havent. Instead we have G. W. Bush,
hockey mums, and las vegas celebrities that learn speeches just like you learn the examanations out of the examanation book to cheat the exams
Those politicians, and a broad selection of people represent the average poll voter, average neighbour, and average dumbfuck.
They have no interest in space, even worse, they run the USA.
China seems to have goals, europe maybe, spaceX (much hope) we dont hear alot from russia. But perhaps energia has something to offer.
NASA has no foundation other then begging money together at the white house. Which they have done good at for decades, and nasa certainly deserves a golden trophy on what
Since when in human history, has there been a company in existance that rules for more thgen 40 years,
and cannot be critized after such a long time.
Everything can be criticzed. I surely hoped to see 50more STS launches.
But realistically, looking at the cost,
Theres like mostly only consent in saying that nasa is game-over. And it would eb childish and ignorant to think that nasa had one more thing to offer us.
@ceasefire066 i sit around watching these videos all the time and love them, but it might be an idea to make our current home a nicer place prior to paying 7 trillion dollars to try making one in an environment that doesn't really want us there to begin with. the opportunity space provides one with for strategic power makes me highly sceptical that significant amounts of money aren't being spent on utilising that possibility.
@ceasefire066 I agree! like were still rolling around on wheels and playing with fire. WTF! people come on! haha where are our floating cars and civilizations in the sky lmao
space x hey? hmm finally you US-Americans got it? the russian Systems running this way for decades! it will take you more than 10 years to establish a system so reliable like the russian is. maybe you ask the russians for some help.
they build Rockets like T34+AK47 in WW2 :-)
you want something that works in all conditions? simple cheap and reliable? buy russian goods!
without the Sojus the ISS is dead. roskosmos and ESA now take care. seems that the US-Century is finally over - in space too
@spacevidcast ohh succes-rate? how many sojus exploded? how many Kosmonauts:Astronauts died? 4:14 ! and the Spaceshuttle program have 135 flights since beginning. sojus has nearly 300 since 1990 alone! and many more since 1967. and how costly is the sojus in $/kg.

btw the sojus will flight for next 30 years... the NASA even cannot supply the ISS now and for the next years.
@spacevidcast but how many starts? and: if a single soyus is lost 3 crewman and a "cheap" rocket are lost.if one us-shuttle get lost - 7 men and brutally expensive piece of equipment.
@spacevidcast I don't really think so, while russians can launch docenz of rockets in a year, the usa can launch just a pair of shuttle, it could be the same rate but there is a huge difference.
@CarstenOepping Didn't the South Koreans rely on Russian rockets for one of their space missions, and they failed? I remember reading an article in the paper (when I was there) where South Korea stated that they wouldn't rely on Russian technology any longer. I'm just stating anything other than a memory. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@BadB87 it was a Korean rocket.with some russian assistance. but this korean KSLV was a pure korean design and build. mostly korean technology.they try to build an military long range missile. failed 2 times.
@CarstenOepping You should get your head out of your ass and get a little more knowledge on what the shuttle could do that Russian transportation system's can't.
@Stoozor shut up moron and get a life. jerk. how many stations are build by the NASA and the soviets/russians? and even some bigger object like the Hubble Telescope can be build in smaller parts and then recombined to a working satellite or small station.
@Enatbyte bullshit. the first parts of the ISS are russians (Sarja + Swesda). in fact the russians have the capacity to build the station alone. the NASA 2 but since they lost the Shuttle they havent.
and saying without the shuttle ....is so absolute nonsense. it is now for the next 5 years to the russians alone to maintain the station with men and supply. so: without the russians the ISS would not exist !
and btw US america is doomed. so: shut up. US boy. oder: halts Maul !
@CarstenOepping Firstly the two modules are spelled Zarya and Zvezda. Secondly Zarya was the first component launched by an unmanned rocket. The second was node 1, Unity, in the space shuttle. Zvezda came later. Thirdly I'm fairly certain that most of the station was brought up by the shuttle. Fourth you couldn't have and "International" space station without international cooperation. Fifth ESA and JAXA both have space craft that are used to resupply the station.
@Enatbyte we germans call it Sarja and Swesda.but i can also spell it in russian if you want.i speak russian as well.yes Swesda comes third.and yes it is an international station because of the immense costs.but a launch of an Sojus (german spelling !!!) is 20 times cheaper than an US Shuttle.the ESA have lauched its first automated supply-vehicle 4 month ago (or so...).
@CarstenOepping And JAXA has launched its HTV. Also the Soyuz can't launch a module. The only payload it can bring up is what they can fit in their tiny spacecraft. Not to hate on the Soyuz or anything, it does its job well, but it is not a large cargo carrier like the shuttle. Yes the shuttle cost more, but it did more. Soyuz could carry 3 people and a few small pieces of cargo. The shuttle could carry up to 8 people, entire pieces of the station, and put them together with its robotic arm.
@Enatbyte the Proton can carry a module large as the hubble telescope. we dont speak about the sojus alone but the russian space-engineering capability's. the sojus is the only spacecraft for the next years who can carry 3 and the new sojus 4 men to the ISS. take a look how many flights (and mass) the russians bring to ISS and how many the Japs and US and ESA. :-) the russians dont need them but the ISS need the russians.
@CarstenOepping I'm not saying we didn't need the Russians. I'm only saying that with out the shuttle, this ISS could not have been built. The Russians built MIR on their own just fine but this station couldn't have been done like that. The proton rocket can't manipulate its payloads. All it does is put them in orbit. Also it can't operate EVAs to do any construction work.
@Enatbyte as you may know the MIR also have had a construction arm. it doesnt matter if the construction arm is onboard the ship or onboard the station.and the final assembly is to the cosmonauts anyway.
and yyes the ISS could haave been build by russians alone.but such a expensive station is to much for a single country alone (up to now) maybe the chinese have the capacity one day.
@CarstenOepping If the Russians were so capable how come they left it up to the shuttle to lift up a good majority of the components? You can check out en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Assembly_of_the_International_Space_Station and see that the Russians only brought up a few components.
4. Return anything that needed to be returned to Earth
No other vehicle could do all these things. Yes the Russians were vital as were all the international partners. Everyone played their part well and that is why there is a space station with six humans from different backgrounds working together in orbit today.
... Congress is there as representatives for the people, so speak up! Make your voice heard. Tell your friends and family to do the same.

There's nothing stopping you from showing your concerns, so please, for yourself, your future generations, for the sake of humanity, tell your congressman!'
How exactly is this an improvement over what we have already had? The only thing to bring down the cost is streamlined manufacturing. If we ever want to get a solid foothold in space we are going to need something new.
@jag9998 Write your congressmen. NASA doesn't get funding unless congress says so. Congress is there as representatives for the people, so speak up! Make your voice heard.

@spacevidcast commercial sector should take over, and is taking over, thus governmental funding is good at its current 18Bil given the situation of the economy where nearly 1 in 10 Americans dont care about the skies because they cant find work in the first place. We should save our letters to the time when we can all have the luxury and opportunity to take interest in what happens in the beyond. However we also must acknowledge that one day, all of us must take the big step into space.
@ohkki123 And don't forget that what happens now in space may (most likely will) create 1,000's of jobs for Americans and expand our economy in ways we probably can't conceive.
It's a little thing called "investing in our future". Remember when the government took that seriously?
@Lilmiket1000 The word "invest" by definition means efforts made for the future. There is no investing in the present. Our present exists because of investments made years ago. Therein lies the danger of thinking only of the present.
I would go so far as to say don't worry about now. "Now" is fvcked. If we want a bright future we have to start investing in it. It's not going to magically happen all by itself. Money invested in tomorrow will do more for us than money spent today.
@applesweeter Space exploration is the answer to the survival of Human intelligence. I think people realize this at some level and that is what drives us to explore and increase the likeliness that our species or intelligence will survive.
1: because its our nature as humans to explore the unknown... if we found something outside space we would explore that too
2: same as 1
3: it doesn't... in fact there was a space program called project orion that would allow us to send large vehicles into space. The program was terminated by JFK due to its danger as a weapon... It could litteraly destroy life on earth
@falloutshit I remember Orion being a huge ship being thrust up by a series of nuclear explosions.How can this be a weapon,aside from all the fallout raining down.
I saw it in a documentary... I believe it was because this tenchnique would allow us to send a huge ship into space. A ship that could bring a lot of nuclear bombs or be transformed into a large bomb in itself. Never the less the project was terminated because of this abillity... sad in a way

@CarstenOepping If the Russians were so capable how come they left it up to the shuttle to lift up a good majority of the components? You can check out en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Assembly_of_the_International_Space_Station and see that the Russians only brought up a few components.

@Enatbyte The shuttle could:
1. Launch the payload
2. Connect it to the station using the SRMS
3. Conduct EVAs to further construct the station
4. Return anything that needed to be returned to Earth
No other vehicle could do all these things. Yes the Russians were vital as were all the international partners. Everyone played their part well and that is why there is a space station with six humans from different backgrounds working together in orbit today.

... Congress is there as representatives for the people, so speak up! Make your voice heard. Tell your friends and family to do the same. NASA only gets 0.58% (18 billion dollars) of the annual budget. More money in the US was spent on dog food last year! There's nothing stopping you from showing your concerns, so please, for yourself, your future generations, for the sake of humanity, tell your congressman!'

How exactly is this an improvement over what we have already had? The only thing to bring down the cost is streamlined manufacturing. If we ever want to get a solid foothold in space we are going to need something new.

@jag9998 Write your congressmen. NASA doesn't get funding unless congress says so. Congress is there as representatives for the people, so speak up! Make your voice heard.

@spacevidcast commercial sector should take over, and is taking over, thus governmental funding is good at its current 18Bil given the situation of the economy where nearly 1 in 10 Americans dont care about the skies because they cant find work in the first place. We should save our letters to the time when we can all have the luxury and opportunity to take interest in what happens in the beyond. However we also must acknowledge that one day, all of us must take the big step into space.

@ohkki123 And don't forget that what happens now in space may (most likely will) create 1,000's of jobs for Americans and expand our economy in ways we probably can't conceive.
It's a little thing called "investing in our future". Remember when the government took that seriously?

@baillou2 This is a good idea, how ever not really right now. hell we cant even seem to invest in our present lol.
Lilmiket1000 2 weeks ago
@Lilmiket1000 The word "invest" by definition means efforts made for the future. There is no investing in the present. Our present exists because of investments made years ago. Therein lies the danger of thinking only of the present.
I would go so far as to say don't worry about now. "Now" is fvcked. If we want a bright future we have to start investing in it. It's not going to magically happen all by itself. Money invested in tomorrow will do more for us than money spent today.

Dear All,
i have some questions about psychology and sociology:
(1) Why do we love to travel to space?
(2) Why do we have so much desire to explore the space?
(3) How does space exploration encourage world peace and prevent WWIII?
THANK YOU IN ADAVNCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
P.S. nice space rocket music.

@applesweeter Space exploration is the answer to the survival of Human intelligence. I think people realize this at some level and that is what drives us to explore and increase the likeliness that our species or intelligence will survive.
lasertuber 1 year ago 11
@applesweeter
1: because its our nature as humans to explore the unknown... if we found something outside space we would explore that too
2: same as 1
3: it doesn't... in fact there was a space program called project orion that would allow us to send large vehicles into space. The program was terminated by JFK due to its danger as a weapon... It could litteraly destroy life on earth

@falloutshit I remember Orion being a huge ship being thrust up by a series of nuclear explosions.How can this be a weapon,aside from all the fallout raining down.

I saw it in a documentary... I believe it was because this tenchnique would allow us to send a huge ship into space. A ship that could bring a lot of nuclear bombs or be transformed into a large bomb in itself. Never the less the project was terminated because of this abillity... sad in a way

@applesweeter Earth will eventually become unlivable. This goes way beyond world peace. We must extend life to other planets.
