NO Russia! NASA's genius solution for the ISS...
What would you do if your partner demanded to pull over during the middle of a trip and go home, especially when both of you share ownership of the vehicle?
Wouldn’t that leave a sour taste in your mouth? In fact, wouldn’t that discourage you from ever going anywhere with that person ever again?
That is the situation of NASA right now with Russia on the ISS.
Over the decades, the Americans and the Russians grew the $100 billion-plus complex, which is about as long as a football field, consisting of two main sections, one run by Russia, the other by the U.S. and other countries.
The station was widely seen as a symbol of the post-cold war partnership between the two space superpowers, Russia and the US.
But it seems like that huge collaboration could be coming to an end. Last year, Russia announced that it plans to leave the ISS after 2024.
So, what about NASA's decision?
U.S space has a genius solution for this deal.
Well, we all know that the cooperation or exactly call the dependence of the US on Russia in space has to pay very expensive prices.
4 billion dollars and almost 10 years are dependent on the Russian spacecraft! That's right, you didn't mishear those numbers that talk about what a great power like the US has to pay and suffer. American pride has been hurt not because of its high cost of it, but because of its dependence on its biggest rival, Russia.
One of the main risks of U.S. dependence on Russia is geopolitical risk. The relationship between the United States and Russia has been strained over the years due to several factors, including conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, and allegations of Russian interference in U.S. elections.
In the event of a crisis in U.S.-Russia relations, there is a risk that Russia could use its control over crew transportation to the ISS as a bargaining chip or as a way to exert political pressure on the U.S. This could put the safety of U.S. astronauts at risk, and could also impact the scientific research being conducted on the ISS.
Not only Soyuz, remember RD-180?
Twenty-three years ago, amid a post-Cold War glow, U.S. defense contractors began using a cheap and efficient Russian engine to launch American military rockets into space.
NASA's genius solution for the ISS without Russia...

Clickbait title. The video is about plans for what may replace the ISS later, not about NASA's solution for the ISS, which is what the title said . If you want to keep using the ISS after disconnecting the Russian part you need a new propulsion module to replace the Russian segment that does it now. I came here looking for news about that. Because I made the mistake of believing the title matched the content. Silly me.

[jahenders]

Interesting summation of additional space station options.

However, based on the title, I was hoping it would explain what will happen ON THE ISS if Russia does, indeed, stop participating after 2024. I didn't get that from the video. For example, does the Russian module just 'go dark?' Do we eventually undock the Russian modules, etc.?

[ladislavmalak]

Will the Axiom Space modules be able to provide propulsion for the ISS, after the Russian segments are detached after 2024? If not, how is NASA planning to provide propulsion after parting ways with the Russians?

And Yet, People in USA still attacks Elon Musk on any angles at they can!
GO SpaceX Team GO Elon Musk.

[krashdown]

Pay Elon to tow the bloody thing into Lunar orbit

Story idea: what “fuel” (reaction mass) would a nuclear thermal rocket engine use and also how much could you throttle up and down to get different accelerations for a given ship mass

[slawomirkulinski]

What's wrong in this picture:
1) US doesn't need Russia to support ISS
2) This time limited offer for Russia was given only to stop Russia know how from spreading through third parties which may contest US in space and ballistic missiles(China, N Korea, Iran). The deal expired as the Soviet Union technology can no longer be a competitor to US technology.
3) It is Russia who has a problems with Soyuz space crafts, not US
4) It is Russia who is loosing access to space ports in Kazakhstan

SpaceX may not be planning on making a space station, but they could still be an option in the future. Once Starship starts being used regularly, maybe NASA could look into purchasing a custom built Starship intended to be permanently left in Earth's orbit. On paper, a Starship would have more interior space than the ISS and would be pretty cheap compared to the $150 Billion the ISS cost. Heck they could split the cost with ESA, JAXA, CSA, and any other country that wants to use it.

[JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

Just a question did they patent the engine

[JoeShmoism]

I keep hearing about the cost of ISS. Has anyone done a detailed analysis of benefits earned and expected?

[WvlfDarkfire]

Russia, we are so similar you and U.S. we work on similar projects, seek similar goals, provide equal amounts of knowledge to the world. I hope we can get together again someday. Maybe we will see a great union of scientific exploration again in the future...

The ISS can be salvaged in many ways. It only a mater of mind. Higher earth orbit, Lunar orbit, a Lagrange point around earth ( without interfering with the James Webb); Or my favorite thought is push it out to the Mars or out to the asteroid belt. In any of these parking orbits it could act as a “life boat” only. Here you can store any survival supplies/equipment conceivable. Additional fueling and supply points and adapters can be added for future use. 🤔 Don’t forget the extra batteries 🔋.

[rsmaster]

So the iss costs every American 10$ per year.. am i right?

[moapqd]

Point is that ALL life support systems are at Russian Orbital Segment and other countries don't have the capability to replace it in a short term.

[stevew]

Unfortunately 😢this report is old news, maybe more than a year old, there should be a creation date 🗓️of video, it would have been a good video a year or so ago

[solapowsj]

Genius solution used to be a rocket fuel tank made of exotic material to take the capsule into orbit. When the fuel ⛽is over, the fuel tank becomes lighter than air and shrinks due to negative energy to return to the ground safely. 😅

[mikercflyer]

Is there a reason why the station is being built In Italy?

[VAMobMember]

Idea.
SpaceX/NASA could build a way station in orbit around earth and another the moon and use nuclear power SAFER because once put in orbit the nuclear power plant would never need to get to close to earth atmosphere. Then theseway stations would be used to transfer crew and cargo between ships, etc.

The "genius" solution for the ISS is _not_ to extend its life, but shorten it. Send everybody home and de-orbit it this year. Use the money on other projects (like fast tracking Lunar Gateway). End all coopertion with Roscosmos ASAP! Zero US tax dollars going to the Russian Federation would, in my opinion, be a very good thing.
