How 20 Years of Life On The ISS Began With Expedition One

- November 2nd 2000 was the day that 3 people arrived on the International Space Station and began living and working there. Since this time, there has always been a human presence in space, and I hope this continues, but it's important to realise that even before this historic moment there were crews that worked to make the space station a place people could call home.

We take the ISS for granted now, but it was really is a monumental achievement of international collaboration.
Yeah, it takes more than brainlets like you can fathom for that to happen, like what happened in Antarctica! Collaborate to obfuscate! Have they got you hook, line and sinker though ahahahaha oml you poor empty vessel.
@@r0br33r WTF is that even supposed to mean? Your grammar is all over the place and your thoughts are incoherent.
I get that you probably mean to state that the ISS is a hoax but you won't come far with that opinion. It is verifiably wrong and I suspect that most of the viewers of this channel actually know what they're talking about to a much higher degree than you conspiracy theorists.
The reason why I know Scott Manley isn't perpetuating lies is that I understand what he's saying and it's making sense. Flat Earth, Moon Landing Hoax and so on only make sense if you don't actually understand the claims the conspiracy theorists are making
Id call it a wonder of the world but not sure if it disqualifies itself
@@lcarus42 It is sort of attached to it by the ties of gravity, that counts right?
What? It’s literally a mega house/job building in FREAKING SPACE? Who takes that for granted?
It's a pitty no-one kept up the log. It would have been a great historical document.
I guess the next commander was a star wars fan instead of star trek :P
Agreed.
In ST:ENT Captain Archer used Gregorian dates. So not entirely of from Star Trek.
nasa overwrites historical moon landing tapes … log ????😂
Expedition one: we pass into your care alphas log
Expedition two: nah, can't be bothered
lol.
LOL, literally
Man, that was a beautiful log entry.
Man, that's what I said when I got off of the shitter this morning!
@@liamfslal HAHA
Y e p
I think Scott got a little verklempt there.
Shame they didn't continue to keep the log from that point
"6th Sense a sequel to 5th Element."
Ah yes it all makes sense now.
The amount of international cultural/linguistic difference based hijinks that occurs up there is great.
I mean they both do have Bruce Willis in it so its an easy enough mistake to make lol
shame they didn’t feature Bruce Willis in the remake of 7 Samurai
While flying in the 7th Heaven.
Then watching Sense8.
Man, I should keep a captain's log. STARDATE: Today. I went on a walk. I saw a neat bird.
Kick it's assssss
You can't lie in a log
I hope it was an Eagle. Last night I dreamt wild turkeys. That's better than a dove crashing into your window ... an omen pigeon!
Neat.
When I was a kid my brother liked a space show, i thought it was called Captain Slog, because at the start of every episode the bald guy said "Captain Slog, Stardate 24021.3"
That final mission log was beautiful.
The idea of the mission commander posting a log, and the next to last line with the phrase "bolder and more enterprising voyages" lets all of us know what TV show Bill Shepard found to be inspiring.
@@donjones4719 If Elon Musk does not call the first operational Starship "Enterprise" I'll throw a huge tantrum. I wonder if that is part of the reason for the Starship name.
@@kirkc9643 A slight disagreement - I want the first crewed *interplanetary* ship to be called Enterprise. I can be patient a while longer - have been waiting since I watched TOS live as a kid.
@@donjones4719 My vote is for calling it the Red Dwarf.
You mean they didn’t end their first log with “fly safe” ?
Come on, "Sail her well" is basically the old-school equivalent :D
By tradition, space exploration uses nautical terminology, hence Space Ship.
@@jeffreyjefferson536 you dont 'fly' in space.
@@patricksanders858 You don't "Sail" either, do you?
@@OrdinaryLatvian you kind of do to be honest.
Would be awesome if you could start a whole series about the construction and operation of the ISS, with this being the first episode.
Omg yes please! I feel like this time in history of spaceflight is actually really underrated

Fantastic narration of the final log. It gave a great sense of what the ISS is about, and the hope they had for the mission when it first started. She may not last another 20, but her journey has been an incredible one so far. Here's to the future.
I totally agree.... it was well written with a sense of purpose, posterity, and hope!
But worth to mention that spirit indeed endured as Bill wished! And every person who enters ISS senses that and confirms it when asked. Keep on sailing ISS! Catch the power of the Sun with your solar sails!
Current funding of the ISS continues to 2030, and there’s plans to disassemble it and return it to earth using SpaceX starship
@@AluminumOxide Please link me that story about ISS being returned on Starship. If true reassemble it in a huge museum, maybe even go inside.
@@AlphaGametauri Moving around in some parts of it might be an interesting challenge without modifications down here on earth with full gravity.
But it would be interesting if they manage to at least preserve a part the structure.
8:36 is so funny! Guy on the left rings the bell, guy on the right gets a fright, and guy floats up from below slowly with a salute!
The salute and slowly floating up looked like a cartoon, Hahaha.
Why do I love the crew hugging in ISS so much, every time it's just great.
I know right! Russians, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, people from all corners of the globe coming together to advance our species. The future looked so bright back then. It makes me sad some of us here on earth can't put aside our differences.

Gotta give a like based on the font, and the space station lacking gravity.
space station has no mass its just a ball of light
It's got loads of gravity. In fact, the acceleration of gravity on the ISS is about 89% of that on the surface of Earth. What the ISS does have going for it is its constant free fall around Earth which makes it appear as if astronauts are weightless.
@@robinseibel7540 there is no acceleration it's travelling in a straight line through space-time
@@incription relativity always making newtonian physics brain crushing exercises in futility
8:43 I love that handshake-hug. Literally pulling the person on board via a handshake.
Imagine spending billions of dollars to put a pressurized house in orbit so you can write captains log in comic sans. I love hate all of you so much.
If I get to doing space opera... my captain will also be a graphic designer so as to dodge that bullet!
needs some motivational posters written in Papyrus.
Imagine knowing there's a billions dollar house in orbit and hyper focusing on the (changeable!)font the people in it use.
@@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489 Imagine trying to be humorously light hearted in today's turmoil.
He didn't write the Log in Comic Sans he might not have written it on a computer. Scott Manley couldn't find a PDF in a different font other than that Lmao
The idea of the mission commander posting a log, and the next to last line with the phrase "bolder and more enterprising voyages" lets all of us know what TV show Bill Shepard found to be inspiring.
Be honest. We all have dreams of going to the ISS one day.
Hard to believe it's been this long already. I feel so old now.
(Hangs Head) Well at least I'm honored to say I was one of the lucky people that lived near the Cape & was able to watch most of launches. Ah the memories of going to grandparents the night before & heading down to the Cape.
@@tpseeker3367 haha I was born in 03 Ive only gotten to see SpaceX's micro-rockets launching, going to cape sounds awesome
Dude, when I was a teen MIR was still orbiting Earth :D Imagine how I feel :/
@@tomf3150 I was at university! (feel) older than Gandalf now.
Thirteen minute video. Within one and a half minutes it has 109 Thumbs-up. You guys didn't even finish watching the video! You just KNOW it's gonna be quality!
I am one of those uptickers.
There are a few channels that I automatically uptick directly at start. Scott Manley, SciShow, GreyStillPlays, Half as Interesting, Atheist Experience, Daily Dose of Internet... to name a few.
Immediately grateful for new Manley-content.
i have an auto like addon for subscribed channels.
I'm a simple man, I hear "HULLO", I hit the thumbs up.
@@5Andysalive At first I thought you are kidding. But I just checked it... there are actually Auto-Like Add-Ons. LOL! I need that.
I remember when there where two crewed stations in orbit. MIR and ISS. Now just ISS. Soon ISS, Tiangong, and Lunar Gate Way.
Also don't forget when Salyut 7 and MIR were flying at the same time too
I think that there has only been a few times that there has been crew in two stations at a time. The first were some of the earliest shuttle missions to the ISS. The longer duration missions involved the ISS and Tiangong 1 and 2.
Since 1973 there has been at least one space station that has at one point had crew on board in low earth orbit. At times there has been up to three - although only one was occupied at a time.
What if MIR docked with the ISS?
@@hamburgerhamburger4064 It wouldn't exactly be a straight docking, as you cannot mate female to female docking ports.
But one can do is disconnect Kvant 1 and 2, Kristall, Priroda, and the shuttle docking module, and plunk them in to the ISS docking ports on the Russian side.
Unfortunately the Mir Core Module would have no place to fit, as it was nothing but female docking ports. But it was virtually identical to Zvezda anyway
@@k1productions87 hm. They should’ve made a port adapter for it.
5:52 "Some people say that Comic Sans lacks gravitas, but the ISS literally lacks gravity"
Scott, you should know better! The ISS is only staying in orbit because of gravity
True. The ISS is free-falling under the effect of the Earth's gravity.
also, the station itself has mass and therefore its own gravity.
Well, it lacks the sensation of gravity because it is in free-fall.
He knows all this.
Gravity is relative.
5:50 The dad jokes are real.
There's something heartwarming about seeing that little salute, handshake, and hug between those astronauts.
There's no real borders and rivalries in space, only home and friends.
Give it a few more decades and we will start blasting each other out of orbit for resources. Neither our current political systems nor our economic systems are capable of handling the situation without conflict.
As long as one nation is convinced that they are better, therefore more deserving then others, there will be no peace.
As long as we sending corporations, where the only, clear and well understood goal is to dominate and forever grow to explore and exploit, there will be no peace.
@@marrs1013 humans gonna human... put a hundred of them in a room and soon there will be groups and at some point there will be hate among those groups.
we will always find something to fight over
Once any nation begins to send weapons into space, every other superpower will have to send their own weapons into space in order to be on equal footing.
The idealist in me wishes that we would not bring such a senseless waste of resources to space, but the cynic in me believes that it is inevitable.
@@RialuCaos just think about colonizing mars... which will only lead to the first murder there. the first terrorist attack on the red planet will also be a thing. the first protest about resources and the environment will be a thing.
everything we humans are so good at will just be replicated there. like we can behave and live in harmony.
“We let him off easy”
Thank you Scott for your vivid representation of how the IIS was brought to life and for sharing and generating Bill Shepard's log. It's similar for me to what Niel Armstrong created when he first stepped on the moon. This was our first true long journey into space involving humans working together to create a new frontier. Bill Shepard saw this as something very significant and I appreciate his efforts because I feel the same.
The Russians were going through some crazy stuff in the 90’s surprised everything went as well as it did with their part of the mission.
Money was the main problem during the 90s but it was getting better. The crazy stuff began in the 00s. :/
That's the thing, things did not go well. There were a lot of delays on russian side and even a risk of russians abandoning project several times. Luckily, whole thing ended up well.
this is genuinely one of the few things everyone can be proud of humanity for
2:41 - I was totally expecting the followup statement to be "...so they had to depressurise the entire station to go on EVA".
I never get tired of seeing people chill in zero g
I have a simile life, I see a Scott Manley notification, I click it. Life is good.
So your life is a figure of speech? What are you comparing it to?
6:00 "Sure, some people say that Comic Sans lacks gravitas, but the I.S.S literally lacks gravity"
*ggrroooaaaannnnnnnnn* 50 points for that one, I guess :D
I remember reading about the ISS being assembled in elementary school, before the first launch. I also remember thinking "wow, this will never get finished, will it?" Time flies.
The way you read the last log, it put tears into my eyes.
Happy 20th birthday Iss
Great vid as always, Scott!
That has to be the best outro to one of your videos ever!!
I lived watching this over the years and loved every minute of it. Well done Scott.
The last time I was this early Mir was still orbiting the planet.
Were you even born? lol I remember Mir.
What
I remember Skylabs broken wings.
Your "joke" is as dated as yo mama
@@Galactis1 Yeah it deorbited a week after my 10th birthday. It was a sad day.
Fun fact: today’s my birthday, and I turned 20! This is one of the craziest coincidences I’ve ever heard of! I’m blown away!
Excellent video, Scott! Thank you very much for it. The ISS is one of Mankind's greatest collaborative efforts, and it is frankly criminal that it won't be replaced with another, better, version.
Thank you Scott and an unimaginable big thank you to everyone who made the ISS a reality.
Fantastic video, however, I have always wondered how inflight refueling of the Zvezda Module would work. you said the progress m1 variant was used to "top up the tanks" but did this consist of an external connection between tanks or some internal system? Could be a good video for "what kerbal doesnt teach" Keep up the great videos!
I believe like Mir, there are hoses that lead through the hatchway to connectors inside Progress.
Zvezda is basically Mir-2, like Mir it has docking ports that contain connections for transferring propellant. When a Progress docks it can transfer some of its fuel (up to 1.7 tonnes) to the tanks on Zvezda and Zarya. It doesn't need any EVA work or anything to transfer propellant, the connection is just a part of the docking interface. The ESA's ATV resupply vessel was also able to transfer propellant in this way when it was running. Usually the preference is to use the resupply vessel's thrusters as much as possible to boost the station and then top up the ISS's tanks, since Zvezda's engines have a limited service life and they want to get as much longevity out of them as possible.
@@rocketsocks Even more than that - Zvezda is basically Salyut 8. The DOS space station module hasn't changed much since Salyut 1, except technological advances and some external changes (mostly arrangement of solar panels)
@@k1productions87 Zvezda is DOS 8, but would be Salyut 9 (with the Mir core module being DOS 7/ Salyut 8.)
Salyut 6 (DOS 5) was the first of the DOS stations to have two docking ports, and to allow refueling from Progress cargo vessels.
@@KnightRanger38 Oh yes yes, you are correct, Salyut 9. Salyut 7 and Mir were both flying at the same time for a while.
I only wished to point out the Salyut lineage, which is an awesome story in itself, and doesn't get nearly as much attention that it deserves
Fantastic video, thanks Scott.
Reading the log entry was a awesome ending. Keep the videos coming.
Very good. Some of your best work.
Amazing Scott. Thanks
Great video! The outro was the best ever! Got me goosebumbs!!
Excellent piece Scott, great history and info., and really enjoyed the captain's log entries (the first of year verse-entry tradition is very interesting). Thanks!!
Thank you Scotty!
I got a klump in my throat while reading the log entry... Thank you for sharing this Scott
Beautiful reading. Love that last entry and your delivery of it! :)
That was beautiful. Thx Scott.
Great video Scott!
Nicely done Scott. I enjoyed your reading of the change of command log entry. It seems fitting that as we enter a new era here on earth that you be the reader of the Alpha log. We may be on the brink of a change of command here at home. As I think back to that log I am fearful of yet hopeful for the future.
Fly safe.
Great one, thanks a lot!
First Log of the year must be poetry! I'm going to implement this on my boat :) Thanks Scott!
That was inspiring! Great job
That was a good one Scott.
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing :-)
Good stuff Scott
I like to watch that can fly over whenever I can. Amazing feat!
Another, sad, example of how some of us (me) takes some great things for granted. Twenty years . . . Thank you, Scott, for the reminder.
You said plasma crystals like thats something im not gonna flip about
Beautiful video! Beautiful words! 🙀
WOW . . That was very good and interesting.
And YES, that Log entry was touching 🤭👍✅
In a few years, the Moon will be an International Space Station.
Hey, scott, that was beautiful.
I’ve been following the mission on a daily basis since Expedition 33. So many brave, amazing, intelligent humans have been involved. 👍🏻🎼👍🏻
Man, I love Scott's storytelling so much. It'd be awesome if he did a whole mini-series chronicling the construction of the ISS.
Mission Logs were expertly crafted with care. Gives me goose bumps!
I didn't know I would geek out that much seeing 3D renders from 20 years ago 3:07
Oh my,. he should say something about that font.. .. ah there we go..
Great video Scott! As always.
Ok that poem was freakin' beautiful and I want to cry.
Thanks once again, Scott - interesting and surprisingly emotional. If only he'd ended the Captain's Log with "fly safe"!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you.
Wow! That final log entry got me deep, bro
Can ISS get a Peace Nobel Prize in theory? Who would take the money for that?
It would probably get distributed around, but the money is irrelevant. I think the ISS is a great candidate
I'm sure it could and it should!
I have never been to a Scott manly video this early
It is so refreshing in a certain sort of way to listen to these attempts to realize our dreams of extending our potential as humans. Right now, I have very little faith and hope in us for the immediate future.
Very poetic i love it
Fascinating history! I was surprised that the longest spacewalk was "only" 8 hours. Given the time it must take to suit-up (and down), the complex and slow nature of the beast as well as other factors (e.g. you don't want to stop half-way through) I'd have thought it'd have been much longer.
That log entry was only missing a Kirk or Picard signature :)
Maybe they used Comic Sans as the most handwriting looking font at hand at the time? (And not too cursive either.)
But it had Archer’s?😢
The Johnson Space Center's podcast HWHaP (Houston We Have a Podcast) is doing a series of interviews to celebrate 20 years of continuous habitation on ISS. First up was the Commander of Expedition 1, Bill Shepherd on the anniversary of the launch of the Soyuz, October 31. Second up is the ISS program manager, Joel Montalbano. This is the job that Bill Shepherd had before any parts had launched and before he was named as Expedition 1 Commander.
Btw love your videos. You were my teacher for KSP!
Excellent!
Damn, that's wild. I was 12 years old when we launched the first pieces to the ISS
🧑🚀 🙏 Just wondering if it would be possible to do a history of the CSA.(Canadian space agency) living in Canada I’ve been curious about it recently. after a little bit of research I discovered they have a single spacecraft capable of orbital. flight I believe it had zero payload capacity. I don’t know why it exists. I was curious about all the other tech and research they have given to NASA and Other spaces . if you mind doing a video on it the csa plz!!!???
I just wish he would even say the word 'Canadarm'
I agree! I want to see that too!
Canada homies🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@brianbarrett2487 must be all the videos i haven't watch yet
yes
Great vid
In 1996 I walked through a life size mock up of the MIR station at an exhibit outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Crazy tight quarters. Chops to the cosmonauts.
Goose bumps at the end of that.
My eyes will never see again, my ears will never forget.
Thank you, :)
I am 35, and wow, I don't even remember the times it was build. I guess I wasn't paying attention around that time, as I was 15, and didn't understand the scale, nor had access to Internet to really learn all this. By the time I understood it, it was already fleshed out station, that I tough was there forever. Still 20 years is so crazy long time actually. And there is still many things to come in the future.
Very few people had access to the internet 20 years ago, and space fans were limited to a few geeks.
@@gordonrichardson2972 Living in central Europe also, so it wasn't really a news either. And back then, they didn't live streamed stuff. Damn, they probably still used CRTs and magnetic tape cameras.
"SHIP'S LOG 0000 01 JAN 2001
We sail onboard space station "alpha"
Orbiting high above Earth, still in night
Traveling our destined journey
Beyond realm of sea voyage or flight
A first New Year is upon us
Eight strikes on the bell now as one
The globe spins below on its motion
Counting the last thousand years done
15 midnights to this night in orbit
A clockwork not of earthly pace
Our day with different meaning now
In this, a new age and place"
.. .. .. .. I need to learn Russian to know how beautiful that must have sounded in that language!
Good, my visit to youtube straight gives me this video
This got me thinking. Have you ever talked about the moment(s) in time when astronauts were (suddenly?) able to spend much longer spans in space? What innovations led to the ability to stay in space for months at a time rather than just the short duration a few hours or at longest a few weeks in the case of moon missions?
Awesome way to end that segment!,
"Sail her well" is just as badass as "fly safe".
The end of this video reminds me of reading log entries in the fallout game computers.
may good will prevail indeed.
