Mars Colonization News and Updates

The Space Race is dedicated to the exploration of outer space and humans' mission to explore the universe. We’ll provide news and updates from everything in space, including the SpaceX and NASA mission to colonize Mars and the Moon. We’ll focus on news and updates from SpaceX, NASA, Starlink, Blue Origin, The James Webb Space Telescope and more. If you’re interested in space exploration, Mars colonization, and everything to do with space travel and the space race... you’ve come to the right channel! We love space and hope to inspire others to learn more!

The first space station history should be more known. First and only cosmonauts who died in space? These guys were heroes.

Always heartwarming to see international collaboration

Today you can see and come in the ALMAZ (SALYUT) space craft in Moscow space museum. It is huge!

Basically, everything we are doing is a rerun of stuff the USSR did many years ago but just using updated technology. All the key design features were invented during the Salyut and Mir programmes. Salute to the Soviet engineers and cosmonauts - not to forget Sergei Korolev who managed to get much of this done or initiated within what was essentially a military programme.

The Americans may have been the first on the Moon but the Soviets still beat them with the space station...

The Salyut 1 mission is the reason why the Soyuz for many years could only lift 2 cosmonauts. The original capsule held 3 cosmonauts WITHOUT SPACE SUITS. The suits were too bulky to be worn by all 3 cosmonauts, so future versions of the ship only had 2 seats so that the crew could wear their suits for liftoff and reentry after the tragedy of Soyuz 1.
Many years later, they were able to modify the Soyuz to again carry 3 with suits, but any American will tell you it is very cramped.

Советский союз имел выдающуюся космическую историю

[jimgrubisic]

so interesting thank you for making these videos.

[quertage]

8:13 lol that from space flight simulator (the image)

[guard]

It felt weird to hear you say Soyuz 11's crew died "in space" because I always knew it was during reentry they died. I guess if you use the Karman line as the definition of space, then we are both correct.. I just.. hadn't thought of it that way. Your animation is extremely misleading though, as you show the Soyuz undocking, not the recovery capsule separating from the service module and docking module during reentry. They died much later in the order of events than displayed here.

Edit: I used the wrong station name. xD

First domestic engineer said make sure it won't crack open

[BiglerSakura]

The US space rocketry originated from absolutely peaceful intends and applications, right?

[andrewreynolds]

Salyut 1 *wasn't* the cause of the Soyuz 11 crew's death. Try to get it right.

[tom-im]

Sky lab did work. Wasn’t the best but it has 2 visits.

[StevenBara]

This video needs an epilepsy warning ⚠️

[megamanx]

I'm curious to see if in the future there will be both "Eastern" & "Western" space stations plus private/commercial ones. I could also see the advent of Space Special Ops in the coming decades as a result. 🤔

[Cougarik]

Not KAVANT! Module's names were Kvant-1, 2 (Квант-1, 2). It translates from Russian as "quantum".

[alliearscott]

Hey, those 4 russian mir modules that you have as your Thumbnail are builds of mines that i made in Spaceflight Simulator. The least you could have done was message me or give me some type of credit.

[fredburley]

Better when it's a collaboration not a race.

[janpolacek]

7:50 Is the machine turning O2 into CO2? Or am I just blind? This must be mistake...
