I never realised how big the 2100 was in pictures. Good lord it's huge. I can't wait until they attach like 3 or 4 of them together
@vijil hmm Maybe, would probably require a much larger custom made station

_"So I invite you, to go ahead and use the walkways clear to the top."_
**Immediately begins walking up passed him before he's even finished talking**
_"You got it."_
Her explanation of DOES NOT EXIST was cut out, but basically it means that is a structural element that won't exist when it's expanded in space.
DOES NOT EXIST
ow, i just hit my head on "does not exist..
Jack doesn't have to be asked twice to walk up the top!
**Excellent!** I'm a big fan of Bigelow Aerospace and their modules!
They offer a **huge** amount of space in a super-robust package! Maximum space-for-the-buck as it were! I really hope that their modules form part of the Lunar Gateway and maybe an actual lunar base too! Lots of space, robust, fast to set up, relatively inexpensive!
Wow - seeing somebody on the other end of the module really gives you the scale. Thanks!!
So the video is probably shot with a go-pro (see 1:48) which notoriously has a extremely wide angle lens so the scale of the person at the far end of the module is slightly misleading (but not maliciously). Don't get me wrong, the Bigelow modules are the largest modules by volume; it is far more interior space than anything we've ever put in space.
That thing is huge on the inside, we could have the first zero gravity circus in space!
@Clorox Tree It was only a joke
dès la 1re image de la video en lien: "does not exist"! voyons la suite! extra ton sujet, un peu explosif quand même! grazie mile
holy moly that's big
That's what she said :)
That is a future hotel right there.
I want to see an entire space station assembled from these modules!
I love Me some Robert Bigelow :)
anyone who says, "welcome, welcome... I invite you... to walk to the top", is my kinda guy . respects
Damn, that is a huge module
I wonder if you could join 8 of these together into an octagon. Then you could spin then to create centrifugal gravity.
Glassdoor reviews about this company is an eye opener
Truly spectacular technology, Bigelow industries is really making a difference in the space industry, really large space ships are needed for long-term Mars missions.
Mr Bigelow is a Great, Great Great Man.👍👍👍👍 The " B330" And The "B2100" (OLYMPUS) IS "SPACTACULAR"!!!!!!!!!! Great Job👍👍👍👍... Bigelow Aerospace Company Is The Best In The Country.....Thankyou Mr. Bigelow For All You Do.........Your Friend Debby........
THE INFLATABLE HABITAT MODULES👍👍👍 "BA330" AND THE "OLYMPUS" ARE INCREDIBLE👍👍👍....THE "OLYMPUS" NEEDS TO BE IN SPACE NOW👍👍👍❤...BIGELOW AEROSPACE COMPANY IS THE GREATEST IN THE COUNTRY...👍👍👍
You need to have a tiny whoop race in there!!!! 1:40 OMG it would be amazing to fly inside this thing.
Mr. Bigelow is a Great, Great, Great Man.👍👍👍👍. The B330 and The 2100- (Olympus) Is INCREDIBLE And AMAZING.👍👍👍👍 Bigelow Aerospace Company Is The Best In The Country...Great Job 👍👍👍👍....Your Friend Debby.....
Jesus christ I didn’t actually think they had a scale model of this thing. I just thought it was a computer graphic. This is absolutely incredible. I really hope they could send something like this up to space very soon. Perhaps on Starship when it’s completed.
Are they going to use spin gravity? The interior looks like it's built with "down" in mind.
Wow. That thing is awesome.
They should cover the whole inside with these curved screens. First Omnimax theater in space.
Here from the SN8 cryo proof stream to see what Jack and Michael were talking about.
Wonders of the new world... that is big
I have the sudden urge to print a bunch of "does not exist" labels. I think if I put one on a plane it'll become a stealth plane... but then again I also think I gain my enemies' strength when I eat their hearts, so...
Amazing, hope it works.
there's already an experimental one attached to the iss
B2100 is about twice the volume of the pressurized volume of the 9m SpaceX Starship. Wow 😮
It will need the Super Heavy (or SLS Cargo) to be put in orbit!
@@FastSloth87 Yup, The stars are colliding quickly for the soon to be Human Space Exploration of our Solar System. YEEESSSS!!!
Starship, Blue Origin, Bigelow, Blue Moon, Starlink, Dragon 2, Starliner, Orion, SpaceShipTwo of Virgin Galactic
The ISS is 930m^3, less than half this.
True about ISS and makes the B2100 even more impressive.
so putting 100 people inside the starship seems very hard
Great video, thanks for posting but it's a bit creepy the way the beams have "does not exist" stickers on them as if an engineer has unexpectedly put them on before the big PR video was filmed to warn people, like gus grissom and the lemon on a coat hanger and look what happened to him...
I think the "does not exist" meant that particular supports would not be there if the structure was in space. The reason may be that, in space, the structure is pressurized and not actually need the supporting structures otherwise it would collapse. I wonder if people who see the signs understand that?
@@nickd920 thanks but to prove that it works you'd think that they would've pressurised it then for the demonstration.
@@Jacob_Crowthorne the iss already has one
@@SalisburyKarateClub yeah but this is huge in comparison, it's on another level altogether.
@@Jacob_Crowthorne Sure is, the one on the iss is after all a test a proof of concept. I can see these being used a lot more in the future.
I hope they start up again after the covid shutdown soon.
Sooooo cool 😁
Is there a update from nasa on this. Will one ir more be used for the artemis program? And the lunar gateway. Seems like these ahould have been lauched several years ago.
how big at launch?
MR. BIGELOW...IS THE GREATEST..👍👍👍...THE ("OLYMPUS"--B2100) NEEDS TO BE IN SPACE NOW👍👍👍....BIGELOW AEROSPACE COMPANY IS THE GREATEST IN THE COUNTRY....👍👍👍❤
Does anyone know if Bigelow is planing to start back up?
SWEET
What is the status of that space station? 🤔 is it still in space or was the project cancelled and it won't be used anymore?
*THICC*
Sweeeeet !
A wild Loren Grush appears
Does the 2100 have ability to support rotation in its long axis? it will be the solution for many many problems!
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that studies so far have found you need a much larger diameter for rotation-based simulation of gravity without causing more biological problems than it solves.
I wonder how it will hold up to 3000+ FPS Space Debris nuts and bolts etc from everything in orbit?
I'll get interested when I actually see one in space being used. Till then....
A smaller version is in use for quite some time on the International Space station and functioning well.
Cool space balloon
Make a great studio space for SciFi films to shoot in - Avatar's franchise has the budget for it.
Holy shit I thought the thumbnail was just CGI
I guess the hand rails are not to keep one from falling off the walkway, but for people to hold onto so they won't float away! But won't it be difficult to hold onto the rails and the barf bag to? What about ll the vomit floating around from all the people vomiting from space sickness, or the absence of gravity!
Damn "Aliens vibes" 0:18
Man, i wish this gets integrated with Starship
In microgravity how would you recover your position if you were to float off into one of those big open spaces? Would there be a network of cables to grab?
Hou would continue on the same trajectory until you hit the wall on the oposite side.
But I think, that the whole thing will be filled with equipment, so you won't have big open spaces like this in space.
@@thetraitor3852 I was thinking back to when NASA installed a new module on the space station and remembered one of the astronauts commenting that it was possible to get stuck in the empty space where there was nothing to push against. However, as you say, this will be filled with stuff.
Maybe carry a small battery powered fan to generate thrust if you get stuck.
@@thetraitor3852 if the module expands once in orbit how does the equipment inside it get into space?
@@ridley68 With other separate launches in cargo capsules which can connect to the space station. This will be put directly into space like any other satellite.
THIS is how you make spaceflight comfortable! Why are we putting astronauts in a cramped narrow space station, let's get this up there and expand iss. The only thing missing is viewports!
Sad irony that Bigelow “does not exist”
Anyone else thought this would spin and the deck would be around the sides?
i want it to be a lil bigger
Nice....it could be made a bit longer, hower, it might increase the risk of being heat by any small objects...
interesting.
They built a lot of hardware that never flew.
I really hope that one day can
Am I the only one who is concerned about micro meteorites hitting this modules?
Somebody should buy one of these to make a space-hotel. It would probably pay for itself just in giving rich people a thrill.
Let's see, say $52,000,000 for a month, 7 people per month, is about $4.4 billion a year. Not a bad business.
Dang that's big enough to spin and generate a little gravity!
Not really... If you consider it that to achieve 1g earth gravity you need a ring 1km wide spinning at about 4rpm...
For mars gravity at 1/3 of earth you need a ring about 700mtres wide...
for lunar gravity you need a ring 400mtres wide...
Below that gravity becomes somewhat negligible in how it scales. At the size of this below 100 mtres long and only about 15mtres wide.. any centripedal force you generate would be useless. Except for incredibly basic gravity experiments
@Steve Acho thanks, I should have excerpted though, if you want to bypass the size of ring to scaled gravity for different planets G, it’s very possible to a certain degree, but it involves increasing the spin rate dramatically which induces horrific Coriolis effects inside the ring,
it’s not a pleasant feeling, you feel gravity but how it scales isn’t directly related to the size of the size of the ring anymore but by your own mass interacting with the induced gravity imagine letting go of an object inside, and as it falls it doesn’t just fall down but the ring spins faster than the fall rate so the object seems to slide in the air too away from the direction of spin,
So spinning even marginally large objects like this is still kinda out
I'm not convinced those will be safe if you think of space junk flying around, but then again, maybe they have that covered..Even the ISS can benefit with one or two of those, and off course, the moon gateway project, not to mention trips to Mars...Heck, that solves MY phobia with cramped spaces over a long period ..
@@L1ft0ff Yes, but somehow they're doing fine after all those years in space..looks like the chances of being hit is slim, space is huge.
@@tonyelsom6382 They've been testing a small version of this tech on the ISS for a couple years now, and it hasn't had any issues. The walls of these modules are about a foot thick when inflated, and they have multiple layers of material specifically designed to stop high speed debris impacts.
@@jamesburleson1916 Yeah, maybe I should read up on the specs of these myself, this is exiting stuff for the future of space stations and off course, even future freighters to deep space..See where I'm going again in my haste to get us on par with current sci-fi movies?..
I went on that ride at Disneyland 40 years ago LOL
Why are there showers in the Modules
My guess? You don't want to be in a sealed environment with people that haven't washed in a while, and showers get you cleaner than wet wipes.
Why do I think of Charlie Chaplin when I see this guy? &, that puffed out kid floating in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory ...tunnel of terror scene? Violet blows up like a blueberry balloon, or in this case Charlie becomes a blimp.
Launch this bad boy on top a Falcon Heavy and lets replace the ISS after two or three of these modules.
NASA is too slow
The ISS is stuffed to the brink with scientific equipment, training gear, life support systems, water recycling systems, etc etc etc. Not too mention a few football fields of solar panels, docking stations, robotic arms,.. . Having an empty inflatable habitat doesnt come close to replacing the ISS. And why would you even want to, the ISS works fine.
"NASA is too slow" because it has to respond to the ever-changing US government AND take 0 risks when it comes to human lifes.
Safety always comes with an increase in testing, thus an increase in time. SpaceX only cares about the safety of cargo, not humans (for now ofc) so they can take bigger risks to deliver quicker
What makes you think they won't expand the ISS with these too?..
The end goal is to use one of these or several as an ISS replacement...
Although space X wants to own them so they can rent out station time to governments
@@tonyelsom6382Nothing. ISS already has one inflatable test module. Not sure if there is a point in expanding ISS much further though, it appears to be big enough.
[COMMENT REDACTED]
Niamh Blakely Your comment DOES NOT EXIST.
this comment DOES NOT EXIST
The fact that the earth has gravity seemed to have slipped the gentleman’s mind when he invited the people to walk up the ramp to the very top. At the very top of the ramp, it looked like there was a single thin plastic chain, followed immediately by a yawning chasm thirty feet straight down. But I’m sure that they’re well insured, so it’s all good.
Can a Starship carry it ?
The B330 (when deflated and folded) can fit in a Falcon Heavy's fairing, but the B2100 requires a Starship, SLS, or other equivalently large vehicle.
These are arks
Looks like a ........ Anything but a space ship. There is nothing in it. Empty . Just like space LOL
Cuz it's a model, smartpants.
🙄wow.....👍
I love it when you billionaires do stuff like this. Mr Bigelow, crazy assed Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are much admired by me.
HELLO MY FRIEND... GREETINGS FROM SCOTLAND... NASA IS FRAUD....MOTHER EARTH IS FLAT....JET ENGINES ARE FREE ENERGY... FUELING UP IS A CRIMINAL FAKE...INVESTIGATE ASAP....WAKE UP YOUR MIND TO THE TRUTH....
@@alanclark2416 you are asking way to much, these people are so hypnotized they will believe anything from nasa no mater how silly it may be
@@alanclark2416 "jet engines are free energy" 7/10, next time don't make the troll obvious at the end, it's much better
@@rodg011 I'm probably asking too much from you to stop believing silly youtube videos made by religious fundamentalists that claim that the earth is flat.
@@2b2tisafactionsserver72 By your comment you are saying you trust government and you dare say i believe silly videos.i also suspect you believe there is a floating car in space
DOES NOT EXIST
There's one already attached to the iss
@@SalisburyKarateClub He's talking about the steel bit at 0:19 XD
Tanto dinero alli y aqui en Venezuela ni empleos por la situacion
Quiero tener a Robert Bigelow de mentor no tengo ni 1 dolar pero necesito 70.000 qui dice del reto
Lots and lots of Sharp edges and corners on the interior. Less impressive...
Magnus B literally the ISS. . .
If you find this not impressive then I am pretty surprised tbh
All you would need with this type of technology would be a rocket that can launch 90 tons into spaces. This is answer of colonies Mars. Falcon heavy 9 and dragon crafts with this technology! You could colonies the solar system. Don't get why NASA not buying up this technology. BIGELOW on the money tree 🌳with this space crafts 🤔?... low costed and can be used on moon , Mars, asteroids , in spaces ,
Worst tour ever!
NASA IS A CRIMINAL FRAUD... SPACE TRAVEL IS A FRAUD... MOTHER EARTH IS FLAT...WITH THE DOME OR FIRMAMENT ABOVE US...THE SUN AND MOON ARE PLASMA.. BOTH THE SAME SIZE..WITHIN THE DOME... ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES AWAY....... JET ENGINES ARE FREE ENERGY....FUELING UP IS FAKED....
