Soyuz to the International Space Station April 7th 2007

See ya later guys!

[loscantos]

little teddy used as a spatial reference to crew about correct trajectory of rocket and efect of gravity and correct working of engines. (marks stage separation and reaching orbit)

[nazaxprime]

@loscantos Thats what she said.

[flastie]

What a smooth ride :o compared to shuttle

[maksphoto78]

@flastie

Stage separations are actually quite shaky.

[maksphoto78]

@flastie

The g-forces are also much stronger, up to 8 or 9g

[Roofius2]

хватит гнать на наших космонавтов ! уроды бля ! у американцев все запуски с проблемами были так что не надо ля-ля

[idcs5000]

MARS and MOON needs real cooperation of EU, RF, US and other WORD.

[iyaboy888]

I like to see more americans and russian united for space exploration and other space mission, better than arm race or starting another cold war

[girlinlove4ever]

What's the space station for anyway? I used to think it was for ppl to live in space...?

[pr0t0color]

Holy smokes! Compare this with a shuttle launch! It looks like a walk in the park compared with a shuttle ride. A smooth, slick ride into space.

The shuttle may have more room to wander around in while it catches up with its target, but that launch portion is no picnic on the shuttle. . .this video makes it seem like just relaxing in an easy-chair!

Go Soyuz! You're the best spaceship humankind has ever made!

[elgeneralsv]

pr0t0color can you just imagine what the NASA guy was thinking? I could almost hear him saying Damn it didn't blow up... or thinking damn what ever happened to the US space program...

Go Soyuz!!! it reminds me of a learjet cockpit, small but who cares when your going that fast :) cheers

[enter321]

My comment was meant in reply to something other than this, NOT to the Russians who had passed away (I just noticed what this might look like).

[PatriarchTank]

A man from Microsoft was involved? I'm surprised the ship didn't crash.

[enter321]

Hahaha, so true.

CONAE+NASA=MISION CUMPLIDA EN UNION TECNOLOGICA ESPACIAL PARA EL PROYECTO Tronador III

[sleepingeye]

i believe in less than 10 years we will have technology to make space flight extremely cheap

in 10 more years flying to space will be like flying in an airplane

[iantrankinn]

and climbing everest will be an everyday hike

[CeloxCruor]

Hopefully, we'll probably need to devise a different fuel first though, I'm sure that must be a big factor to cost

[quaheedus]

If you turn your head to the left it looks like he is sitting on the toilet readina magazine.

[acid84]

that was smoooooth!!...i mean...sleeping in my bed is more bumpy...

[rinz78]

malaysian bolehh.. syabas anak malaysia..

[pussyvsdick]

RUSSIA + USA = POWER 4 EVER !!!!

[Amnesiacmidnitetoker]

russian basterd jacked the space shuttle blue print freaking spies,,lol i like the blac kitty he has for good luck lol in our american culture a black cat is bad luck in russia is good luck ! I bet they got vodka

[mmysama]

Thats what space shuttle Buran was. A direct copy of the shuttle. Flew only 1 unmanned orbital flight (and yet we only recently built UAVs, they landed an unmanned SHUTTLE in 93). Sadly, the only working shuttle they made was destroyed when its hangar collapsed. I mean, WTF?

[kibabiba]

Souze was proven. Only first old Souzes (1 and 11) crashed. But Buran was new.

Buran was much more epensive to fly at and much more dengerous.

[canfullofbeer]

Это была проблема на носителе. Если считать САС частью КК (это более оправданно), то как корбаль Союз действительно ломался 2 раза (причём, если учитывать мемуары Леонова, то в потере экипажа Союза-11 сыграл большую роль человеческий фактор).

[raver74]

Russian Space Superiority!!!

[soenengeert2]

Yeah ! Russians are THE space specialists !!!

[ilikeyoutub07]

o yayayayayayayayya

[juice1502]

We are all space specialists when we put our hearts and minds to the task. The West and Russia stand to gain so much when we work together and look to each other's strength. Exploring space requires so much more than what we waste in fighting wars.

[mmysama]

The soyuz is the most efficient spacecraft ever made. It weighs alot less than the Apollo CSm, yet has more habitable space. Plus, the majority of Soyuz launches involved sending cosmonauts into space for six months. Shuttle flight only last two weeks. The russian space agency gets more done with fewer manned launches, and thos manned launches cost a lot less to.

[b10h4z4rd90]

Yes but a lot of russian are dead in the space, first than this...

[mmysama]

True. both the soyuz and the shuttle had the same number of fatal flights, 2. However, both Soyuz 1 and 11 used the original soyuz spacecraft. it has gone through several major revsions since then. the current version, soyuz TMA, has a perfect safety record, and in the future they'll only improve the design more and make it even safer. the shuttle on the other hand gets more dangerous the more if flies because they are getting worn out. Thats why the next CEV will be non reusable like soyu

[kibabiba]

4 russian austranauts died:

1)1 austranaut died in first Souze flight (Souze-1 1967)

2)3 austranaut died in Souze-11 (1971)

Sinse 1971 Souze was upgraded many time, so it's much safer now.

[nazaxprime]

@soenengeert2 In Russia, Rocket launch you.

[stocktrader5557]

Russians are some crazy motherfukers!!!! :) I'm from russia myself

[peopleispoep]

Well, it was a bit late to go to the space... L0L

[peopleispoep]

wow dude that's heavy shit ! i wonna become a Astronaut !

[soenengeert2]

Yeah man, a hard day night for those guys !
