  • Behold the technologies and companies that promise a new renaissance in space travel.
    Rockets are becoming cheaper and more powerful than before thanks to new technologies. As companies make space more accessible and NASA returns to crewed spaceflight, a new era of space exploration seems to be on the horizon. But will this seeming rocket Renaissance become just more than hype? NOVA explores the latest rocket technologies and the growing role private citizens may have in space.

      European and Australian schools now teaching Einstein First Project, and tossing out Newton, means Gravity is no longer a force that pulls down. In general relativity, gravity is not a force between masses. Instead gravity is a forceless effect of the warping of space and time in the presence of mass. 9/11?

    It would be nice if the original airdate was included in the description. Right from the first couple of minutes it’s clear this is out of date (ie less than 600 people in space). Still good content but it would be useful to have some context.
    Edit: okay at the point of SLS renderings (when SLS has launched) I had to look this up myself. This is episode 5 of season 46 airing on 13/02/2019 (or 02/13/2019 for Americans). Currently 4 years out of date. A LOT has happened since then, including first manned flights for Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, the selection of a moon lander, and built prototypes and testing of Starship (just had the booster 30 engine static fire, with orbital launch imminent), Dear Moon crew selection, Polaris mission announcement, and the first full tourist orbital flight with no professional astronauts onboard on Crew Dragon. Oh..and crew rating of Dragon😅 with multiple missions to the space station. And lest we forget, China fully building their own space station.

    The testing was something else. As a kid, I went to school about a mile away from where Rolls Royce tested their jet engines (underground), the last test was about 10am, we had to stop class, not only couldn't we hear, the ground and windows shook. Under Hucknall Aerodrome an ex WW2 airfield, with the concrete bunkers still there at perimeter.

    That water rocket is really fun. I've seen people cutting two PE bottles, applying a very strong glue to make an almost 3 liter bottle, and glue a valve into the "top" that opens at once. That double bottle can be pumped up to 9 bar, filled with half water, half air, that works best. Nine bar is pretty dangerous. So, you absolutely must do the glueing exactly like the experts showed you: sand the joint using the RIGHT type of sandpaper, use the type of glue the experts showed you, apply the right amount of glue (not too much, not too little), have the glue curing at the right temperature and time. And the fins that keep your rocket stable, better go for an existing design, later you can experiment, when you know these things better. You do not want a high pressure air rocket exploding into you face, or coming for you. And ah, when you add a small return parachute, there are very clever release mechanisms, and mechanisms that fail half the time. The choice is all yours. By the way, search water rockets, the large ones fly hundreds of meters into the sky. Those are no toys anymore. Still, if you know what you are doing, you can build them yourself.

    • @KatharineOsborne
      @KatharineOsborne Рік тому

      Climate impact depends on the fuel used and how it’s made. So for instance kerosene is a fossil fuel and adds CO2 to the atmosphere. SLS uses hydrogen and oxygen which burns to water. Water does have a very strong warming effect on climate but the amount is negligible compared to the water already in the atmosphere. However extracting hydrogen for fuel can be electricity intensive and could be powered by fossil fuel use (but it doesn’t have to be).
      Other new rockets are using methane and oxygen. Methane can be extracted from fossil fuel (its natural gas) but it can also be synthesised from the atmosphere, though this is energy intensive (again, could be fossil fuel but doesn’t have to be). It’s byproducts are CO2 and water. If the methane is synthesised from the atmosphere the net change in CO2 is zero, so would not produce a warming effect. So as you can see how you source the fuel is just as important if not more important than what the fuel is.
      I don’t understand your second question so I will leave that for someone else.

    How many wannabe astronauts has Branson killed now?

      0. There was a fatality by a test pilot early in the Virgin program, but not any paying customers (in fact there have been no paying customers to ride yet).
