They covered two topics that I thought deserved better explanations. #1 Round versus square hatches. I'm sure each country had good reasons for their design choice. What are the pro's and con's of each design? #2 They spoke at length at how expensive it is to ship oxygen for breathing to the station. Then... lets extract the Oxygen out of H2O. Is there a water fountain in space that negates the shipping cost for water? Each pound of anything costs the same to ship, regardless of it being steel, aluminum, water or air. What factors are involved that give the oxygen extraction from water process the advantage?

@AHappySpace 2 ай бұрын

I don't know pros and cons of square vs round hatches, thought it was just a choice as far as fitment of astronauts with their plss to get through the hole ..and iss does use electrolysis to a certain degree, not sure what percentage of air is from that but I do know it is used on iss..just my thoughts/knowledge wish I could explain more

@dylanwoodworth6676 Ай бұрын

Off the top of my head, I would guess it requires far less energy to separate hydrogen from oxygen, rather than ship oxygen to recombine with hydrogen. Hydrogen has no use (the reclamation process vents the hydrogen to space) so to produce water, you'd have to ship both gasses. That's part of the consideration.

I was 10 years old when the ISS construction began. Ironically, I was also in my current events class and we watched the launch of the first American module unity on TV. One thing, though that I recently have discovered is, we’ve discovered new ways to generate energy through the use of heat. Now I’m sure they’re already working on this but instead of just taking the majority of the waste heat from the station and radiating it out into space why not try and find a way to use it to Produce more energy? I mean yes, as stated in the thing, the station creates more than enough energy through its solar panels, but I would think that it would be a good idea to try to make something that could use that heat purely because of the fact that, obviously you would want to probably have as many redundancies as you can. The same thing could be said, for the hydrogen that is created through the electrolysis. I’m sure the hydrogen could be used either as a energy source or better yet perhaps use it as a form of thruster fuel. I’m sure all of this is far easier said than done. But , you know just figured I’d put in my two cents.

I can't imagine day 2..They need to somehow slow down our systems so we don't require fluids AS often in space..This will be an issue traveling to Mars. the requirement of fluids/food for sustainability. This is why AI is owning us and will continue to be superior in every facet.

This video appears to be almost 10 years old (guessing from ~2016). As of 2024, the ISS only have 5-6 more years of useful life remaining. By 2028 new (commercial) space stations will begin to take over its purpose in LEO. NOTE: just about every rocket shown in this video has been retired and replaced by newer more advanced launch vehicles. The cool thing is the cost of lifting mass to LEO has dropped from $10,000 in 1998 to under $1000 in 2024. Within a few years the new Starship booster will be able to launch structures the size of ISS in just a couple of launches, not the more than 20 SpaceShuttle launches required for ISS. Comparing ISS launched pre-2000 to Tiangong space station launch in 2021 shows how far human space flight has come. All the wires and cabling seen on ISS does not exist on Tiangong, as computers now use wireless technologies. Hard to believe that ISS was launched at the dawn of the internet age. What replaces ISS in 2030's will be even more amazing. Multiple commercial space stations are planned and currently under development.

It was way more than that. The project went over budget that drove 3 iterations and eventually more international partners to make happen.
