ISS/Soyuz Undocking

[centurion180ad]

Thruster shots, are //clearly// visible in vacuum in sunlight.

This video, solves that argument with the antithermodynamics crowd.

I like the Soyuz. Liftoff and Landing is always going to have risks... but once in orbit she is a bathyscape in space. The shuttle did it's job... but I think it could have been better as a fleet of 14 not 6. But as innovation and competition rises, Space will become a place to work, live and explore. Korolev would have been proud.

SOYUZ IS A RUSSIAN SPACECRAFT

Soyuz is reliable technology...unlike another Space Transportation System I could mention, lol

[subiklim]

@LeoHareMusic We're talking about reliability? The Soyuz has been around for 14 more years than the Shuttle, yet it's achieved fewer flights, and has had MORE failures. While the shuttle has launched over 690 astronauts, the Soyuz has launched 230 cosmonauts. So, how exactly do you define "reliable"? Let's not forget that the Soyuz in the past few years have had a few ballistic reentries which caused injury to the cosmonauts.

[centurion180ad]

@subiklim Reliability includes to the largest extent, loyalty & integrity of crews both in the vehicles and at their respective control centers. I’d say homicidal TREASON in plain evidence at NASA, places a very thick black stain on everything that they have or attempt to do.

I just glad there are a miriad of ways to get to and more importantly ...get back..from the ISS....it is such a great example of what we can do as World Wide Effort...I wish I could of been bourne 200 years in the future....well done team Earth :)

[xlr99]

Soyuz will piss on the shuttle's grave. Ha!

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

Thats just stupid

[analogfantasy]

Shuttle looks cool though:) But soyuz just works

[Boy75402]

As beautiful a ship as the STS is, you are correct. Soyuz beats STS on everything but beauty... but beauty doesn't keep the crew alive.

[Lagwagon555]

Haha. Soy-ooze

[drsheikhjunior]

bruno now i cant see the video...i dont know why???

[drsheikhjunior]

i dont know why the soyuz looks like it is made of fabric,but this vid is cool...

[JackJ1957]

Many spacecraft are covered with thermal blankets to regulate temperature extremes.

[drsheikhjunior]

oh,no wonder,now i know...thanks for the info

[starlionblue]

What parts visible are ejected prior to re-entry? Is just the far forward section retained?

[qed100]

As it turns out, the only part of the Soyuz which makes it back intact, with the crew aboard, is the middle section.

[drsheikhjunior]

I didnt see it.Where did you see it??I meant the timeline.:)

[theinsane102]

dood, go and read about it, the internet is vast with all sorts of information.

[fred9107]

bila nak gi pluto ni

[drsheikhjunior]

sabar la dulu...pluto tu kan jauh...soyuz mana ada cukup minyak nak pergi pluto..

[illkid97]

[Dreamsender]

Dude!

This is a good one; I have been busy making hypnovids.

Will go up and see what I can catch off NASA next week.

[BrunoTheQuestionable]

Yeah, it looks quite good - I'm not sure if its a fair clip to use as a quality test though. I'll try to choose something with more detail and movement. Maybe we can get a bit of a quality race going !

[Dreamsender]

Think I just might like that...*grin*;

have to clear the hard disk again tomorrow.

Did another of my hypnovids that came out

about a gig and a quarter...couldn't get it down

to decent size without loss of res, so threw it up

on Google.
