    Thanks for the break down of the Artemis missions. I am looking forward to future updates. Why is it that NASA would design a space station that is so important but low on comfort? It seems like, in terms of comfort, that the Gateway should be an upgrade compared to the International Space Station.

    A network of view screens need to be designed into each module to allow safe viewing of what is outside of each module. This could safely replace "windows" and still permit viewing of real time environment outside of the station. A central monitoring station could be networked to see each view as it is added to the station. Simply put, you replace windows with cameras and network the views into the station.

    I have a correction to make in the video:
    At about 7:21 you refer to the lowest point in an orbit above the moon as the perigee. This is incorrect; a perigee refers only to the lowest point in an earth orbit. The lowest point in a general orbit of any celestial body is the periapsis. Similarly the highest point in an orbit of the moon is the apoapsis, not the apogee.

      Starship has to prove itself a stable alternative first . It is never prudent to plan for using something like starship with no assurance that starship will be as effective a rocket as envisioned let alone WHEN it will be viable.
      Having said that however, NASA is banking on BO to build its Lunar Landing system to be ready by the time Artemis 3 is ready for its human Lunar Landing mission. And Vulcan has relied on BO for its Be-4 main booster engine which was supposed to ready for the first test flight in 2020. As we all know, BO has not even got any rocket to LEO. So why do NASA and ULA put their faith in it?? A recent statement by Tori Bruno after a canceled test fire of Vulcan and it was returned to the tower for evaluation did not inspire much confidence when he said, "We gotta figure this thing out". 🙄

    I have a question about the near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO). It was chosen because it is more fuel efficient. But I don't really understand this. At first, I assumed this was due to a higher delta V budget, but then I realized that was probably referring to orbit maintenance. Since the moon effectively has no atmosphere (100 molecules per cubic centimetre), there wouldn't be a significant effect of atmospheric drag of any kind (unlike the minuscule, yet significant amount that happens to Earth satellites). Since there would be nothing to slow the satellite down, why would there be a need for orbit maintenance that would lead to a NRHO being more efficient than a low lunar orbit? The only thing I can possibly think of is the strange gravity discrepancies of the moon. Could someone please clarify this for me? FYI, I have only taken an intro course to orbital mechanics, so please don't be mean if I missed something very obvious :(

      I'm a biology student so I have zero personal knowledge about orbital mechanics, BUT my dad works at Maxar on the PPE module AND has been working with his teams for a very long time to figure out how communications to the Lunar Gateway and Moon will work given orbital patterns and their quirks.
      With what little knowledge I've gleaned from talking with him and watching the video, the issue isn't atmospheric resistance as much as it's the necessity of maintaining a constant line of sight to earth for communication purposes. Time-triggered Ethernet does exist, which could hold back on sending and receiving data until a line of sight is reestablished, but that's intended for use on Mars missions and shouldn't be necessary on the moon given our choice of orbital patterns.

    Great video I appreciate the content very much but the title insinuates (to me) this would explain the living arrangements and daily tasks. This shows the technical status of orbit and setting things up, not how theyd sleep etc-i wanna know because I expect gateway to have similarities with iss but more like a compact version with fewer things. The robot arm is essential, even without need we can appreciate now, it's way too remote to make Space walks the only approach and it'll also work for assembling the modules. I'm no engineer but I cant comprehend how the modules make sense nor why animations show connecting and disconnecting them. Some of those may be visiting craft like the space x dragon but for one thing, whys there two habitation modules as if nasas is only for Americans and an international..or named and referenced by the European space agency:s being so remote, I say it should be far bigger. Then it'd be more for cabin fever and more storage on the way to Mars. Yes very expensive but I don't appreciate the billions of dollars to make it while the iss cost similar or relative to its size and time to make, not much more than gateway-i assume. That propulsion is also easy, though new technology where I understand ion props need fine wire which may idk, burn out or snap idk?? Of course the energy supplied is very low but it's basically a fuse wire. I also can't imagine how/why ion props need fuel, other than electric :o :o fascinating. How are personnel expected to survive acceptably in gateway for such long periods and so remote? Wouldn't it inevitably cause irreplaceable physiological damage on their bodies especially without centrifugal spin? Even with resistance machines :s I haven't followed closely to gateway at all hence this video but it still appears too spontaneous to go with the best tech and provisions possible. Yes tech innovates and evolves but I get the impression gateway will use whatever available from current modules rather than perfect what we have accordingly. It feels like gateway is, as a physical product, like a device over advertised but nothing special aside from cup holders and a cassette tape but actually underwhelming. And imagine the morale effects from even one window. Though dangerous it'd be awesome if all personnel could have an allowance of whatever feasible time in which they can just be a floater turd in the universe, just an umbilical cord or full tank on the arm. Appreciate the once in a lifetime presence so close to another planet sized kinda object more so our moon. Its disappointing to go work there but never to appreciate it more than working in a bunker with a digital image of the moons surface. Photography or just reminding ones self they're some of the luckiest opportunists of this age. Especially as we didn't make it after apollo

    That is a ton of shit that has to go right in an environment that is 100% out to kill any human being. Very bold. I'll tip my hat if nobody does get killed. And I'll pray that nothing bad happens.

    Just imagined six years till the airlock module is delivered. 6 years and the technology will already become outdated. I'm pretty sure you could have a Starship refueled in orbit make the trip no problems.

    Why is a Lunar Gateway even needed? We are trying to establish a Lunar base not a Lunar space station. Here is what the mission profile should be for a Lunar base. (1) Establish a long-term propellant depot in LEO, supply on a regular basis with Starship. (2) Launch HLS to LEO and load propellants (3) Launch astronauts to HLS using Crew Dragon (4) Translunar injection of HLS to Lunar orbit. (5) Land on Moon (6) Work on Lunar base (7) Launch from Moon to TransEarth trajectory (8) Injection burn to LEO (9) Dock with Crew Dragon (10) Return to Earth. NOTE: all cargo, equipment, supplies for the Lunar base will be delivered with unmanned cargo Starships well in advance of the HLS so the astronauts have some place to go. The HLS will handle only astronauts leaving room for the propellant for the orbital insertion burns. HLS and cargo Starships will not need heat tiles or aerodynamic surfaces since they will stay permanently in Space. Some of the cargo Starships could be used as Lunar base modules. This approach vastly reduces risk, cost, schedule, and complexity since it is based on existing Crew Dragon and variants of Starship.

    A small point. It's misleading to cite the European Union (EU) as one of the major partner organisations. The actual participating organisation from Europe is the European Space Agency (ESA) not the EU . The ESA has 22 countries who are full members so not all EU countries directly participate (although since the EU is an associate member one could say that those non-full-member EU countries do still participate at least in terms of indirectly funding the ESA via the collective EU budget). Also 2 of the ESA full-member countries (Switzerland and the UK) are not EU member states, one being the 5th largest contributor to the ESA budget (the UK) .

    Hopefully the SpaceX lander can be used multiple times. Bring it back to LEO, refuel it and send it back to Gateway for another run to the surface. Fill it with cargo and a rover. It can also be used a hab on the moon, lower it horizontal.

    The easiest way to build the gateway station is to use multiple starships joined together and spin then to make artificial gravity.

    Hot dog! I doubt I'll see mankind on Mars but for me, just a space station in lunar orbit sounds to fantastical to have dreamed of as a kid. I hope something important about it is named Luna-C, for the comedic effect.

    That is not truly correct that the gateway will not have any windows. Every time there will be at least on Orion capsule connected to the station. And it would have windows. So astronauts could come there to see the moon views. And the same with lunar descend module.

    At 8:51 "theories are only theories until you put them to test" should be "theories are just hypotheses until you put them to test". A hypothesis is an educated guess, a theory is supported by direct observation and mathematical analysis of such observations. Capstone will bridge the gap between hypothesis and theory.
