“NASA may have to temporarily abandon the International Space Station in November, as a recent Russian rocket crash has called into question the safety of the vehicle that ferries astronauts to and from the station. If astronauts have to board up and leave the orbiting science laboratory, how long could it last without human maintenance?”

How dare you "meh" Linux!
@Dacia Sandero guys How dare you does not mean Greta Thunberg. It's the most common phrase in english. Seriously guys
Lol I thought that was interesting
Misread the title lol. Why the ISIS is important
Also.Well NSA i didnt mean it.
same here
"Now they are running Linux.. meeh!" did you just say that?
I always thought the ISS was important. Most people don't even realize all the things we have on earth from exploring space and the equipment up there than came down here. I always hate hearing people say we need to defund NASA and who cares about the ISSA. I think we also should start now on the next lab that will replace the ISSA when we do decide to retire it. We definitely can't have another thing like what happened when we retired the shuttle and now USA has no way to send out people into space. We gotta get rides from other countries. We need to start thinking up a replaces while ISS is still doing amazing work and teaching us amazing thing. If we retire it and have nothing to replace it that will be extremely bad
Madd Hatter ~ your name suits you because you are mad they do nothing up there except for all the time exercising and making videos it is so expensive why are we paying a hundred billion dollars for it a year and like four or five other countries kicking in 60 billion screw that
not being argumentative but can you please tell me specifically anything that we have gained from them being on the ISS. I know there are many many satellites up their use for GPS Internet and things like that but specifically what does the ISS do
What is up with the dismissive attitude towards Linux, Linux is way better suited for tasks like this than windows, or probably any other OS for that matter!
Not to mention the servers serving this video are Linux-powered. As are the regional content delivery networks. After the last e-cig article, DNews seems to be caring less how blatant their biases are.
Edited to add: and there is actually something better than Linux for scientific purposes, the L4 family of kernels features one systems architecture (seL4) that has been formally verified. (Formal, mathematical proofs about operation.) I.e. it's an OS with literally zero bugs, and the proof to back up that claim. L4 is also more widely deployed than Linux and Windows combined.
GothAlice "Widely deployed" is relative when you're comparing operating systems and kernels. For example, almost every home with modern electronics runs linux in some way, either through routers, microwaves, TVs, phones, etc, but I personally wouldn't consider any of these people as active linux users, because it isn't used as a traditional OS in these categories. That being said, I don't see L4 being very comparable to Windows or Linux. Saying "for scientific purposes" is just too broad, because a graphing calculator could fit in that category too but I'm sure some of those don't use some pre-made kernel.
I figure that most scientific software that is crucial for stability and is hardware-specific is written to bare metal. But, I don't really have any facts to back that up.
***** virus free just means nobody's tried yet
jesse scheepmaker
No, it doesn't. Linux, and all unix-like OSes are naturally secure. Many people think Windows gets so badly infected because it's popular, but its actually because the OS is so poorly designed it grants anyone access to anywhere at any time. UAC was hardly a fix for this.
Peter Schmidt i'm sure that someone could program a virus for linux if they tried, there was a virus for mac a while ago, and that's unix too
It is really sad that the ISS will eventually de-orbit, I'm from Portugal we have no space program to be proud of, but I feel very proud when I look up at night and see the ISS shine and I think that just the fact that there are a giant building in space visible to us is enough motivation for many people to inform themselfs and pursue science. I'm still hoping that some agency will take care of keeping the ISS in orbit even if there is no one working there and no research being done.
Let’s be honest we can’t prove there is space stations. Period.
@@joshgobrecht5865 Let's be honest, we can just look up and see it.
When its close enough you can see the sharp edges and with just a binoculars you can see the solar panels coming out of the structure. Truly wonderful.
1:01 the camera lenses in the right wall LOL
I hope there will be another newer and better space station up there before de orbit the ISS. Because if they de orbit the ISS without a plan for newer one, they would delay or cancel it :/
As the Emperor from Stars Wars would say, "Wait tell they see the new and improved power of a fully functioning Death Star!"
They’re planning on making a smaller station but it will orbit the moon instead
China is committed
I work nights and make a point of going out to see it pass overhead a couple of times a night. I think it’s amazing. And I think not having it would be a massive step backwards
"Shows America continues to hold the high ground" but we need Russia to get us there....... sorry I just find this ironic
Only because Congress nut-shotted the budget meant to include the new LEO transport vehicle, just because they didn't like Obama. And THEN said they would increase NASA's budget a little, on the condition that included in the budget bill was additional increases in the NSA spying program....
Congress... the antithesis of Progress since 1975
Eric Fling Not anymore. Now we have space x
They can not quite yet send people to the ISS, but they have sent supplies and they are working on sending passengers to space
Not anymore
But its still cheaper then to manufacture and go onto one war.
.. I am still on Windows XP on my official workstation :< And I work in IT... just saying
What company wordwide did what? I want to know those different companys names and parts they made. Or did they all do the mount for the flux capacitor?
oh the Babylon 5 reference. So proud of you Dnews!
I understand why they would have to eventually retire the space station. But I hope they are planning a new updated space station to take its place.
ISS = Lets look at this shitty planet from an even shittier angle.
Haha nice one..
You still haven't anwsered my question: What do aliens think about trees?
You avoid the details from a distance and you can still watch UA-cam, I think that's what your doing. You're learning stuff from HowTo videos. You should watch beauty & fashion to see how to apply skin foundation, I think you suffer from human envy and watch Beyonce at night. You can forget about that one, no offense but you look terrible.
U must be really bored or a professional troll XD
Alien Grey why do aliens like dolphins?
*'The damn thing was running Windows XP until two years ago, and now its on Linux! Meh.'* Last time I checked Linux distros were the best... I am pretty sure they still are.
i love your videos of space
the greatest thing about the ISS is I can go outside and wave when it goes by at night. :) Space is amazing and makes me happy!
yesterday i saw the ISS with my telescope!
-1 for implying linux is now awesome
So, stick some ION drives on it. It is a weak propulsion but in time it can help push the station into a higher orbit or maintain its current one.
"linux... meh"
what? why? what's wrong with you guys?
even though linux has done more to advance science, pity
you say linux like it's bad... it's free and powerful lol.
***** 1 plus one great phone XD
1+
I'm not sure he was saying its bad, I think he just simply doesn't know enough about it to comment. I don't think Trace is quick to judge. Anyway, I'm glad the ISS switched. I'm surprised they weren't always using it.
and customizable. unlike closed source software
All hail Arch Linux.
Are there any plans for a replacement in the works?
I know it's early, but plans for the ISS were in the works while MIR was still operational.
Nothing serious right now. We should probably sort our shit out down here first anyway
Russia has some serious plans using some of the old service modules from the Russian half of the ISS. As for other countries I don't know, probably.
A proper manned Mars mission (fly there, land, and return) will need about 10 times the mass of the space station. The goal is to cut that to about 2 space staion masses over the next 20 years.
he said its building was completed in 2011 but it's had a continuous rotating crew since 2000, was that a mistake or am i missing something?
You know the ads before videos I just had a survey one?
The predecessor to the ISS, the MIR Russian space station has a Sony HBF900 MSX Computer, years before any Windows or Linux machines orbited the Earth!
I'd like to see it retrofitted and expanded to a small city with artificial gravity.
KEEP IT UP!
KEEP IT UP!
KEEP IT UP!
if they were going to de-orbit the ISS they need to make it good! like put cameras in side so we can see what happens when something is burning in to our atmosphere.
It would be ironic if they shove a bunch of explosives, aka Nukes, on it and aimed it at ISIS. NASA could claim technical malfunctions altered its course causing a disaster!
hackman669 so basically NASA would have a rock the size of a football field just waiting to be thrown at something.... its effective too as long as it doesn't burn most of it in the atmosphere!
Hackman..... I think we are now friends.
So what do we do after it crashed? Do you build a new one? I haven't heard anything about building a new station. Does any body know?
This might be a dumb question but would it be possible to just push the ISS to the moon rather than just crash it? I think I have some understanding that feat would be difficult and crashing it would probably be easier. However, I was just keeping in mind about keeping it preserved or re-purposing it at another location.
Well the forse needed for TLI (translunar injection) is gigantic becouse the ISS has 420 metric tons + the fuel to fire the engine for TLI would have gigantic mass.
oh trace is back!
Obi Wan: "I have the highground"
American politicians:
"Quick call Russia and let them know we still have the high ground"
They have the Hubble 🔭 to see if a rock is going to hit 🌎 doesn't make any sence.
i love the iss. i'll cry when it has to come down.
instead of de-orbiting it, can we establish a high orbit and leave it there forever?
think about the gouvernements eye: what is the point of dropping bilions just to move a station higher for no reason? it would cost tons of billions
@@testkill5109 but it wouldn't. Just send up a few falcon rockets that cost no more than 60 million to make, even cheaper if theynare re using them. The payload on them will be some rcs. It will take some time but it would work and wouldnt cost billions of dollars. Besides the world already has spent like 150 billion on the thing, seems like a waste to crash it. Sounds better to have it as a memorial
Yes, but space polution ^^. I'd be smashed down by other stuff, right now they avoid it by doing adjustments in it's orbit to avoid collisions but imagine what of a mess i'd would make if it got broken into pieces by something?
Deorbiting the ISS. Huh, that'll be fun. Just don't forget any decimal points.
Why not replace the modules over time? It's safer and less expensive than crashing the whole thing.
By replacing one module at a time we will have to as many launches to space as many modules existent and it might cost more than to do one bigger launch to space with everything needed.To get into the outer space let's say you need X independent of the cargo you takeSo if you are replacing one by one it will cost for example 200Xbut if you do it all at once you only need X plus the extra cargoGot it? pls answer this question.Sorry for the bad English .Hope have helped you understanding it.
The Galactic Void ya it could cause a tsunami
Andre Feliciano ya, but if we use space x reusable rockets, we can do it, one week one rocket or we can use the space balloon for transportation which is even cheap
or even better why don't we just build a ISS part 2 I better one. it will be costly but in the name of science and the whole world millitary budget > 1400 billion dollars
SpaceX's reusable rockets are so far only powerful enough to lift small satellites or supply vehicles. The ISS modules are considerably larger, requiring rockets that are far too big to recover in such a way.
Remember, in order for SpaceX's rocket recovery to work, it still needs enough fuel to reverse course and safely touch down, after performing its initial launch. This means a LARGER rocket with more fuel, meaning its far heavier and requires greater thrust.... so take our largest heavy lift rockets and DOUBLE their size,... which MORE THAN doubles its cost.
Further, the oldest modules on ISS (thus the ones that require the earliest replacement) are integral to its structure. The Zarya FGB and Zvedzda Service Module are what is providing the station's primary control,... you cannot just divert that control, considering none of the US segment modules have thrusters of their own. The Unity (Node 1) module (first US module installed) is not only the central point of the station, but is where all subsequent modules are connected, as well as the massive central truss. There is literally no way to disconnect this module and keep the station together in less than four pieces, requiring an insane coordinated EVA and robotic arm operation that had never been done to even HALF that degree in history.
Even replacing the Destiny Laboratory (the 2nd oldest US module) is not feasible, as you would have to decouple Node 2 which has no less than three modules connected to it. There is no way to keep all that mass steady for the time required to remove and replace this one module. And no, they could not separate the modules individually, as there are not enough robotic arms to do so. Further, a lot of the struts that secure the central truss and keep it steady are also connected to the Destiny Laboratory Module as well,... so there goes THAT idea.
Even worse, since none of the US Segment modules have control thrusters of their own (They are basically empty shells with slots to slide experiment racks into), they cannot be launched on their own. Only the two Russian modules, with their individual control and thrust systems, can be launched autonomously. Everything else REQUIRED the Space Shuttle,... which we no longer have.
K1productions, thanks for the info : )
ISS = Let's work together all of us and accomplish great work in science!
We NEED a lot more projects like this and more ATTENTION by the general public to them so that at some point in the future all the different nations START TO WORK TOGETHER.
This should be the ultimate goal for the human race, united we stand a chance, alone we only face EXTINCTION.
We are at a very critical stage of the human evolution where in an instant we could destroy the world we live on and in so doing we would destroy the human race... Let's work together!
***** Thank you Shadow, I am frankly amazed that the leaders of this earth do not seem to get this simple fact. Or they get it but think it is better for there nations not to act, that the time isn't right...
But seriously, the time is now, it is time to get our &/% together, bury the HATCHET(S), shake hands in good faith and TRY TO WORK TOGETHER.
With all the smart minds out there and all that technology, I'm sure we could find tons of ideas to try and slowly get us over our differences and get us closer!
> John Lennon had that dream, and some of us are still dreaming the same thing. If only there was enough dreamers out there...
Note: I am a realist person tough and I see the world around me and how things are going and have to admit that I am fearing for the worst of outcome for the human race.
Ex: Endless wars on terror (what is that?!? if not a war that has no end?), money that has no value, powerful countries abusing the weaker ones, ..., only to name a few examples.
I blame the American media and sheep for stupefying the masses. Now we have a bunch of loud mouth bigots and morons on the small screen then scientists.
How do you know the ISS is way old? You had to slap linux on it to keep it fresh...
We should keep it as a tourist location or something I just hope it's there in 20 yrs
I am doing a project about the ISS!
Hey Trace, why does it have to be de orbited?
How did they get it in space
Why not just keeping adding module and dispo old ones.
Scoffing at Linux makes you lose a ton of cool points, sir.
i think it should never go down, it is a massive piece of history, and before the last man/woman leave it, he should turn off the lights and turn on an ion thruster that can hold it in orbit.
You said what Well I should use parachute for every module from the ISS and send it back to earth and microgravity truck would be funny idea
And leaves in the garage until somebody else has an idea
What's wrong with Linux?
They made a Babylon 5 reference joke.
Today was a good day.
Imo, they should make a new living quarter where gravity could be simulated using centrifugal force. I assume that you could perhaps reduce the necessary supplies sent if they could grow food there.
I assume if vegetables were grown in a relatively normal environment (one with earth like gravity) there would be no worries eating it.
And why crash the ISS?
Why can't we leave it in space, or possible move it to a Lagrange point (say L2) so it could stay there permanently?
A centrifuge wouldn't work to make them float. It'll only increase their weight, not decrease it.
The idea is to not make them float, floating isn't the best for human longevity in space.
Ryan Airth
The point of the ISS is experimenting in micro-gravity though.
They actually had such a module planned- experiment, of course. Nautilus. It was, surprise surprise, cancelled due to budget cuts. However, Bigelow Aerospace (the one trying to make a space hotel), has planes to include a centrifuge model on the ISS.
wolfbyte3171 Oh, didn't know, but go figure, I hate how money dictates such things, but eh, that's the world we live in.
I hope Bigelow Aerospace does well in this aspect.
ISS and NASA is more awesome then alot of people know. Inventing everyday items like Velcro and memory foam. We need ISS and when its out off date (sad face) we need a new to replace it ( ISS2? ) :)
I am pretty sure that youtube changed the policy so you cannot advertise for someone in the video but rather to use the youtube sanctioned alternative.
We need to move this station halfway between here and Mars.
I bet they got pissed with windblows' annoying notification that tells you to update. Lol
I think it would be really cool if before they deorbit it, they should spin the station and create artificial gravity.
The skull in the background is moved I'm pretty sure
DNews Trace Dominguez 01:30 "..now it's on Linux, meh."
What's that ? Please, if you do not know what Linux is please familiarize yourself with the field and then take stances in public.
Linux is the engine of an Operating System...
All Linux distributions are not only Linux but GNU/Linux (GNU programs and software running on a Linux engine. Each distribution has their own set of GNU programs wich make the functionality, look and feel of an OS).
So Linux is only the super fast, ultra stable & flexible core of an OS. This means any stances/opinions from any person who do not understand what Linux is are irrelevant.
When they de-orbit ISS I want to see footage from inside. A bunch of gopros encased in heat shields.
Remember when mankind had a international space station, called "Peace"?
no
And what is the reason behind de-orbiting it? I didn't get that...
So when it eventually comes back to earth it will land in the ocean instead of crashing in a big city for example. Some of it may survive re entry thats why.
***** +Spind yes, but why de-orbit it in the first place?
Dimi Kap It would be too old to be worth maintaining at that point, and so it would be decommissioned. To reduce space debris they would do a controlled crash into an ocean.
The ISS is in a decaying orbit. If it isn't maintained its orbit will decay until the point of re-entry. (Where it will crash down to earth )
So once it has served it's purpose it's better to control the deorbit procedure to ensure it doesn't do any harm / damage when it crashed down to earth :)
The ISS is pushed back on it's orbit regularly because stuff doesn't stay in orbit for ever. There are few atoms, even at this height.
Much further down the line we will build larger more permanent facilities in space. With simulated gravity provided by helical orbits.
When they ever retire it I hope they don't break it down and de-orbit the pieces. They should just put it into a much higher orbit so that it can stay up for decades or longer. It could be reused in the future during emergency situations or for parts. Maybe it could just be one of those "historical site in 200km @ 17:30 Z" things for when you go to Mars to visit your grandparents. If they do de-orbit it lets just hope we don't get anymore littering fees in Australia.
#ClapForISS !!! start it here
*claps*
as an alien, i'm very proud of u humans, that's astonishing but u still have a lot to go.
I think it's time to upgrade! And instead of building a space station build a Moon base and have space tourist companies build it for NASA. And it can be more than a laboratory it can be a hotel and a colony for civilians to.
Well, the problem of supporting the station is that traditional rockets are so expensive to launch, and the station can't produce much of anything.
But, in the Year of the Shadow War, it became something greater: our last, best hope for victory!
What research done on the ISS has improved life here on earth lately? Isn't it true that the only time you hear about it is when something goes wrong? Isn't it time to move on with space exploration?
They would never crash it into the ocean. If anything it could be pushed into space as a time capsule or probe.
how come they don't take another planet implant a base within the planet and from there used the stones to rebuild metal and from there they can make more space stations and from there they can use magnetic impulse to Launch instead of pressure and with sold power you can make it a boost for electricity in which they probably have it and for food they can cultivate and they can study how the plants grow but if has not been done at least I give my thought out
Nice Babylon 5 reference.
1:30 what's that "eh" supposed to mean, eh?
We need first base on moon quick then launch from there
Can't they systematically re-construct the space station on it's already existing base? I mean, replace all the old and no-longer working parts of the space station one at a time .. why do we have to crash it? :( I mean, we're most likely going to build an other space station anyways once the old one is gone, so why not try to just keep the old one up there by rebuilding it with newer components?
i dont think they should de-orbit it. i think it should be repurposed as a space hotel. have nasa sell it to elon musk or something. or have earth deem it as a "national monument" and maintain it like the statue of liberty or something. eventually space travel will be available to more people n when that happens ill be first in line to visit the iss n stay a few orbits!
Because staying in a hotel that's been gathering micro-fractures and micrometeorite impacts for 30 years won't be an utterly terrifying experience…
I mute the audio a lot on this channel. First there is the youtube add then comes the dnews add. Then he's saying something, then comes their music which I've heard many times. THEN I put on the audio. Best is to skip video after the "what do you guys think" because then there is more adds.
Wow, no doubt you like that heap of tubes =).
The should put one of these on/around Mars
How did the huge ISS get to space ??
They send the pieces up one by one and have it assemble in space. Kinda like how car parts manufactured all over the world are sent to a single factory to all be put together.
Why don't we just push it into a higher orbit like a graveyard orbit.
It may become trash and be hazardous for travellers.
If the existence of NASA was put to a vote the public would shut you down in a New York Minute.
DNews is interesting, but the dismissive vocalisation towards Linux needs explaining please. because it's not just ignorant, it's offensive to all the people who both work on and volunteer on Linux and other Free Software projects.
Aye, West Texas.
But what are they really researching and experimenting?? Like honestly. That they need to be in space to do.
I feel like we just finished the thing.
Every time I've seen ISS recently I always think it says ISIS.
Like I was doing a physics paper and I thought read ISIS and thought the paper was about to ask me answer something like using a bomb as projectile. But nope it said ISS and it was to do with gravitation.
Why is it we know more about space , but not a whole lot about what own oceans ?? any know ? DNews ?
CSI Rusty48 We can see billions of light years in space and a few hundred feet are best in the ocean.
Whhhaaat ISS run on Linux ? what a slap to Microsoft ! Yay !
Holy shit, i didn't know it was the size of a football field, i would love to see that giant thing fall into the Ocean, hope it won't crash into land in China. :b
Can't they just replace and upgrade the different modules instead of deorbiting the entire station?
So here's why the Galaxy S6 Edge is the best phone ever created, it has an edged screen, never seen before, there I said it.
The ISS is amazing and I hope it keeps going for a while. I just don't like that America (meaning me) ends up paying for all of it. Since we paid for the vast majority of it the vast majority of data and discoveries should be ours to sell.
Meh. People just take for granted the good things the U.S. has done, and instead bitch about all the little things. We stood up to Communism almost on our own and Hitler for God's sake.
It hurts me to think about the day it will be deorbited. When that day comes I want it to be covered in cameras. Let it go out in a blaze of glory.
***** You got WW1 and 2 mixed up. The U.S.' make manufacturing capabilites at the time kept all the allies in the game. At the end of the war, the U.S. was manufacturing 45% of all manufactured goods in the world. The U.S. was in the war before D-Day, and was instrumental to taking back the western front.
Wait, crash it? De-orbit it? Why not land it? Is it not built for landing? I thought they were going to reuse it or something
Not built for landing at all unfortunately, and the parts are kinda old and becoming unreliable with more time. It also costs fuel to keep it in orbit since it is a low earth orbit.
Give next ISS project to India's ISRO it will be surly done in 1/10th of the cost
Intergalactic space station
Science!
