I wish we would break the ISS into individual units and bring it back to earth so it can become a museum and be preserved for future generations to see and learn from
That would be awesome but unfortunately both logistically and economically infeasible.
Whilst economically enviable that would make a hell of an exhibit at the Smithsonian
The ISS was never designed to be disassembled. Its likely impossible. Making it even harder - in extreme cold vacuum, metals touching can actually weld/meld together. Theres some good YT vids describing this not exactly intuituve phenomenon
It would end up as a hotel
I like the boost higher into space and it be the first museum in space.
Thank you ISS for everything.
ARTEMIS 3 is being delayed longer than The Flash movie!!!
For over 150 bill its a shocking failure .
*Kudos to the editor, finally found the right ammount of treble for the audio!*
I can finally watch a video without going deaf with those killer S's 🎉🎉
Yeah, audio settings can be hard to find.
Yeah, the Canadians kicked in a robotic arm, a case of Molson's, and a hockey stick.
Been on the five dollar bill ever since
Robotic arm that is
Take off eh ?
🍁
Canadarm 2, dextre, and the entire mobile base system. $100 million to the space shuttle program. And by the way, the 3 things mentioned cost to develop, implement, install and get to the space station cost more than all of Europe's 8 Billion.
40 million people did more for space exploration than all of Europe.
Go lay down.
Still got 6 years of today I found out then all the mega and side projects to watch then I stumble across this channel.
Casual Criminalist, Warographics, Places, Brain Blaze, Into the Shadows, Decoding the Unknown... and those are just the still active ones (at least Places only has a handful of videos out yet).
even if there isn't a true reason for space exploration, you can't deny that it's _really flippin cool._ the world would be so much better if governments and companies focused more of their efforts on _really cool_ things instead of needless wars.
That sounds nice, but who is going to buy all these pretty tanks and bombs we made ? War is big business and business is booming.
@@MicksMasterMike i fully recognize that. and as unfortunate as it is, war has historically been our biggest innovator. we want more efficient ways to kill people, and from that we get incredible new technology.
it would be nice if we as a species would just skip the middleman, and develop incredible new technology because it’s cool, not because it’s a byproduct of death machines. but that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
But there is a true reason for space exploration...Space exploration lol It would be weird to have all that stuff out there,and NOT explore it.
also the return on investment on space exploration is actually REALLY solid. A lot of the cool tech we have (and use everyday) comes from our desire to reach the stars. So really any way you look at it, it's worth it!
@@jeffdroog But were making extinct species we do not even know about daily here on earth so why project interest in the universe to areas clearly lifeless and forever unsuitable for our bodies . Why not explore what were doing to life on earth and ask yourself should we sort ourselves out first before following space hype .
Dr Rubins is such a nice person irl. I feel so lucky to have met her.
It might cost more money, but pushing the station into L4 or L5 would be a pretty good parking spot for a space monument.
It's roughly 3,400 m/s just to get the ISS out of Earth orbit (7,800 m/s to get to LEO from Earth), plus what is needed to put it in a Lagrange point. The ISS was not built to survive out from under the Van Allen belt, so lots of shielding would need to be added. To send the ISS to Point Nemo in the South Pacific, is about 57 m/s.
@@steveaustin2686 speed and mass are fair arguments against the idea, but radiation and the occasional micrometeoroid aren't really a problem if it's mothballed. It wouldn't even need to be airtight anymore
@@chaseweeks2708 As mentioned in the video, mothballing doesn't really work, as space is hard on equipment. So after all the expense of sending the ISS out to a Lagrange point, you now have to send out crews to keep the ISS maintained, so it doesn't deteriorate into a mess at a Lagrange point.
Putting it on the moon for a future museum would be cool
Something that big? It’s the size of football pitch, I mean you could but would take a resource to get it down and in one peace
That would be very difficult right now. What they could do, is to just put it in a higher orbit, but still inside the magnetic field. Just let it orbit earth for a couple of decades if needed. It won't take much fuel to do so either. And then we can decide later on, what to do with it as technology advances.
We should be using the metal again, we need the resources in space
@@urubissoldat5452 With the launch costs coming down, it's still cheaper to launch the refined materials, already turned into what you need than having to launch all the industrial equipment you would need to recycle it, as well as the equipment needed to generate power to power the recycling plants.
Super interesting video as always, but Simon my man... SLOOOOWWW DOWN. I actually had to check & make sure I wasn't accidentally watching this speeded up. Caffeinated Whistle Boy!!
I’m genuinely interested how many channels you have at this point 😂
omfg how many UA-cam channels does this man have, like my dude.
And with all his resources he still cant pronounce Tanzania
All channels. I think 14. Channels that are still active 13. Channels that he does at least a few times, I think are 12.
See, my thought is to preserve it, but in a truly awesome way.
See, boost it out to a vastly distant orbit. Proceed to do this all of our space tech as it becomes obsolete, including shuttles, the mockups of various rovers and probes, all in the same orbit and speed.
Then, in the far future when we can build much larger stations, build a space museum in orbit, going just a tiny fraction slower. Along the viewing windows, enhanced with zoom features, you could then watch the steady progression of humanity's space advancement.
Tis a distant and unlikely dream, but it's one I'm rather fond of.
Love this video! The ISS is an amazing display of technology and human ingenuity. It takes thousands of people across multiple nations to keep it running. It's really incredible!
My Dude must have more than 10 Channels now 😐🤟 daaaammmm
If you want to skip the history lesson, jump ahead to 12:00.
This was a great video. I remember being in elementary school and being excited about the first modules being sent up and excited to see what would happen with this...before was Mir(which you all should do a video on) but this was on a grander scale!
Great video, but hard to listen to when the voice volume keeps going in and out. Please use compression/limiting!
Space shuttle was simply amazing
Simon, this is the 7th channel I have found of yours in the past month, thank you
Keep looking - there are several more to find and enjoy!!
Thought I was losing my mind seeing his face pop up on all those channels. Thought maybe he was just a generic AI lmao
Jeez that is incredibly light for what it is.
Tried to hide this from me but found it, think i have the whole collection now
How many have you got?
I think you forgot SkyLab.
We don't speak about skylab. Lol jk
I will forever regret not going to the final Shuttle launch. On top of the shuttle program discontinuation, I am not ready for the day they deorbit Hubble. That more than anything BELONGS in the Smithsonian.
Space Simon, Space Simon, Space Simon, 😮😮
It will meet its death at point Nemo in the Pacific Ocean 🌊
Thanks for sharing.
the amount of channels bro has is crazy
.....dont mention it 🤫or another one popps up
The grift is real. Imagine having nothing to say, while having the most annoying voice and accent on earth and still manage to start 10 youtube channels 😂
I was lucky enough to see MIR being yeeted into the ocean and how everything disintegrated on its way down.
I’d like to see it parked as a monument in some kind of high orbit. I don’t know how many m/s would be needed or where the best spot would be, but space burial seems more fitting to me. I’ll miss seeing it.
Sadly. Wars make more money than space exploration.
I always wonder why they cant add new modules to one end of the ISS, then eject old modules off the other end one-by-one as they're replaced
The central modules that are the base for everything, aren't easily replaceable. It's cheaper and easier to built new.
I don't understand why a station that is competently modular has an expiration date. In theory, it should be infinitely upgradeable.
You should really watch the video you are commenting. It provides a specific answer to your question.
Not cost effective. Cars are also technically modular but no one keeps them forever.
Simon is dressing like he is a Gaultier commercial
So if the first piece of the ISS launched in 1998, what space station or satellite did I see in the early 80s? I called it the ISS at the time but it hadn't been built yet?
What comes next? I believe the Long Family may have a plan.
Id love too see it preserved as well, But i also like the other option Simon mentioned loosely that would do an immeasurable amount of good. We should put Musk and Bezos onboard and have them pilot it into the Pacific! We can tell them its a non destructive path but when they get onboard and find themselves trapped there, they will see the control panel is one of those toddler car dashboard toys!
The end of the ISS will truly be the end of an era, Pieces of the ISS should be preserved though.
If NASA brought the ISS back down to terra firma and reassembled it as a tourist destination, they could quickly recoup the cost of the project.
They'd have to disassemble it in space and bring it back in shuttles. It wasn't built to survive reentry.
I feel at this stage this is the only way we're getting the astronauts back that Boeing stranded up there.
@@JustJezBeingJez 🙄 Suni and Butch were added to the NASA Crew-9 mission weeks ago. Crew-9 launches later this month and returns in Feb 2025.
@@steveaustin2686 there up there how long , dont try and sugar coat Boeings shitty progress and risking people needlessly
They like being “stranded” in “space”
Finally I was sick of them thinking they’re so high and mighty
Crazy the ISS has been up there all this time and not significantly collided with a Chinese super-colliding starlight! =P
I also wish we could keep the ISS and not destroy it.
Do further co operation , boost it to orbit around the moon . It can be then used in the same way to help establish a moon base and prepare for mars exploration
It takes about half the rocket fuel it took to get it there to boost to the moon. You would need about 775 metric tons of propellant. That's about 8 starship launches worth if it eventually attains it's 100 ton to orbit rating. You also need a rocket engine that can burn for 35 hours straight which we don't have. That's the least of your worries though as the ISS isn't really a space station, it is a low earth orbit station. It cannot handle the increased radiation outside LEO, the electronics would all fry. The ISS's thermal management was designed for a 90 minute day/night cycle, it would fry outside of that schedule. It's navigation uses GPS which only works to about 6,500 km's high. It's radio's also won't work at those long distances. It was never designed to handle the micrometeors that you would encounter outside LEO. The ISS is a 1 trick pony - low earth orbit or nothing.
Put it into Lunar orbit. Would be fairly safe 38,000 miles away.
Anything with Boeing’s name on it I would stay away. But that’s just my opinion.
Not just your's
Imagine building a space station and naming it after the one run by an insane computer in Wall E…
What about Spin Launch? I though they were working on delivering water and and heavier materials to orbit? The solar arrays will not be recycled or reused? I'm for museum status in high orbit.
It’s hard to visit something at the Smithsonian Air & Space museum after it burned up in the atmosphere….
Yes, save it for future generations.
Why you didn't include the Lunar Gateway?
Couldn't finish this video due to the plosives at just 1:27. Helps if you don't try to eat the damn mic.
Bg music is unsettling
How many shows do you have man? Are you the first AI generated news host or something?
It's like star wars attack of the clones. There's billions of copies of him.
Boeing wishes to make a Space Station? I am confused, usually you need to successfully achieve space travel for you to go those sorts of things and to prove you can actually do it
Cause PFI and PPP deliver such great value for money to the end user down here. What could possibly go wrong?
Found Waldo!
Pumping Tension*
Simon looks like a French sailor
How may channels is he in!?
Bro has all the channels
Wow... They actually called it the Axiom, Pixar should sue.
They make a new one
can't the solar panels be reused for the next station or be re-sold to ..
Can we not use our oceans as a trash dump?
The ISS should be broken down into the parts that are most desired and the rest we don’t want burned in atmo. Then what we want trucked to the moon since it’s already in orbit then landed on the moons surface where it could serve as the first habitats. Or buried in an attempt to preserve what should be considered the greatest display of international cooperation the Earth has ever seen.
Unfortunately that would just be too expensive. It's massive, and moving anything in space is difficult and creates more space litter.
Give it a few years and it will be a 3 star air bnb
The commercial cargo program, which was an ISS program, has saved the military 40 billion dollars according to an Air Force General. So the ISS is paying for itself.
I'd bet on Boeing's starliner not doing a successful full launch before the ISS is scuttled
I don't understand why they don't push this thing into a stable orbit, and basically use it as a warehouse ? You can store "oxygen fuel and food" on it. 🤨
We want as little space litter as possible, and things aren't just next to each other in space.
ARTEMIS 3 is being delayed longer than The Flash movie!!!
i think solving power and food poverty would be a bettwer world status builder than a floating tin can that has fullfilled its pourpose more than once.
Is NASA aware of Musk's track record of meeting estimated production timelines?
What’s the last direct practical thing that it has produced or enabled? It has become an institution. It exists for itself. It’s time to do more epic stuff in space vs sitting on a merry go round.
"Designed by the private sector": meaning it won't be an international station, but instead a business venture that won't do a god damn to move civilization forward. Perfect, we've nearly reached full Idiocracy.
Any scientific discovery moves civilization forward.
Space Station Tinkerbell lol
Europe has a unique ability to always pay less than its fair share.
As per usual
The next space station to replace the ISS should rotate it will give the astronauts artificial gravity so instead of floating their feet will be firmly placed on the floor also the next space to replace the ISS should be capable of housing a few thousand people.
I think it would be kinda cool to put it into orbit closer to the moon. That way it could both be used as a monument, AND eventually be repurposed as a transfer point for manned missions to the moon. Bringing it back in pieces just seems wasteful....
you have no idea how far the moon is, do you?
@@Zpicismrad closer doesn't mean as close as you seem to think. Obviously it's not close enough to be the noobs orbit. But if we pushed out far enough it could be a point between earth and the moon for people to stop at before continuing. Things like equipment checks, refueling, rest etc could be done there. That would still place the station in a higher orbit than it is now, but still closer to the moon than it is now. Sheesh you'd think I had said make it orbit the moon or something...
@@janewayofchaos3255yeah I'm not going into this, what you said does not make any sense in so many ways I don't even know where to start. Have a good life
12:08 - Elon jumpscare
Bro how many damn channels are you on?!?!??!?!
Two private space companies axiom and the orbitals reef
I wonder if instead of deorbit burn, it would be feasable to send a couple of heavy thruster modules to propel the ISS to a burn up trajectory in the sun.
We are orbiting the sun at a speed of 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h). In order to hit the sun you need a rocket with a delta V of the same to slow that velocity down to zero. We don't have the technology to get a can of coke that fast. It takes less then half the energy to send it to some other star in the sky then it takes to hit our own sun.
horizontal striped shirt.. bad for my eyes.. try vertical.. how do you feel about paisley?
ISS= Mir 2.0
1/137
Instead of deorbiting and allowing it to crash somewhere around point nemo, why not use a dragon capsule to essentially yeet it into the vastness of space and burn up in say Jupiters atmosphere?
Dragon capsule doesn't have enough fuel to do that. Also it's easier and safer to just let it do a controlled re-entry into Earth's ocean.
Getting into even high orbit would be expensive, outside of earths orbit? We've never done something that large and won't until we start trying to send large modules to mars.
Why cant they just propel the ISS out of the solar system?
Just send it to the moon orbit
Who else read that as "the end of Isis"?
Woulda been funny if typo'd the title to ISIS
Where is the Space Wheel from 2001 ?😅
Only in fiction.
That behemoth would weigh millions of tons. At the cheapest today (Falcon Heavy) just under $2k/kg to low earth orbit, the cost of just transporting the materials to build it would be "astronomical".
@@MrTexasDan Thanks 😊
0:23 hmmm dead astronauts huh?
can it be crashed to the moon as a monument?
Everyone wonders why humans have not been back to the moon. I give you the ISS. Apparently it’s too expensive to keep people in orbit. Let alone send them to the moon.
You lost me at "purified water made from urine."
Today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee!
'no point in having humans in space'???? in a few generations, you can't have them on earth, so where the hell would you put them?

Just send it too the moon.
will it deorbit and burn up or be landed on the moon at some future point for posterity 🚀🌖
1:48 while space exploration is not cheap, but be aware that NASA's annual budget is currently 0.5% of the US federal budget, so the down the back of the couch is not far from the truth.
Even during Apollo, NASA's budget peaked at 4% of the US federal budget.
So while space exploration, not cheap, it's far from a drain on tax payers.
Makes you wonder what they're actually spending tax payers money on 🤷♂️
