Soon we will have to rename the ISS to the "A Few Nations Space Station"

The "Everybody but those two countries nobody likes" Station.
"Nations that are not committing genocide against its own ethnic minorities Space Station"
@@jadefalcon001 Nice! I bet there's a way to say that as one long compound word in German...
In this crazy world I am always excited to see a new video from Scott Manley
With a new into
yes, it makes you say "YES another Space Video worth watching!"
Forgive him, Scott is from Scotland. Everything half way civilised is South of Scotland ...
The total scale of the station is not decided yet. At least 66 tons including 3 modules, each one 22 tons, excluding Tianzhou and Shenzhou. In 2024 a telescope will be implemented to make it around 80 tons. Later on, if needed, the sister of Tianhe will be docked to make it over 100 tons. Rumor says also there will be an Italian module but not sure yet. So the scale can be from 66 tons up to 120 tons.
Chinese space telescope won't dock with space station, instead flying on the same orbit with a distance to avoid vibration and other interference, which would be quite fun to watch on the ground.
Yes, the "Core Module II" (or as you call it "sister Tianhe") is one of the options. Should that be launched, two additional laboratory modules would be launched. I honestly hope that this will happen.
And as far as I know, news say some European astronauts are "learning Mandarin" right now. I hope future international cooperation will not be hindered by political disputes.
Nice one Scott, I really enjoyed that and I love the way you brought us together on the thought process of the reality we do want and that is a peaceful working relationship with other countries in outer space as well as on the ground…
🙏🏻
No, this is for military purpose
Another great video. Thanks Scott.
I like the new colourful spaceship, with jeb!
They are using a Star Trekish color scheme and even the interior furnishing is like a Federation starship as the Star Trek moviesis very popular in China probably more so then here with the younger generation in North America ! czcams.com/video/fYjjH19iDfw/video.html

"Leak a memo that the Chinese have a secret base on Mars. We'll be there in 6 months" ~Niel DeGrasse Tyson
Had von Braun decided to become a U.S. automobile industrialist in 1950 instead of continuing rocketry, he could have bankrolled and developed a Mars mission by 1975 and his company-following his death-a base by 1995*.
No reusability, just brute-force big dumb boosters with two dozen F-1 class engines per, and not even bother with a Moon mission.
_________
*Yes, I'm glossing over a mess of details (radiation; crew would be sent up on much smaller, man-rated, rockets, etc. etc.)
It is much harder to put humans on Mars than everybody appears to think.
@@-danR Of course if he was an automobile engineer he might not have had any official plans to actually create spacecraft.
@@-danR He had the talent, but the math doesn't add up for money or time. The Space Race cost (inflation-adjusted) $300 Billion and 15 years just to get a few days on the Moon, a few times. And that was with the resources and political commitment of a mobilized superpower nation. Assuming he could cut the cost 10x, that's still $30 billion. Since you have to sell pieces of a company to scale it, he would have a decreasing percentage of the profit to spend, even if the total dollar amount kept increasing. He would have to sell tens of millions of cars before he would have the money to reach the Moon, and that's assuming he could do it 10x cheaper. He definitely couldn't match the speed of the program. Mars would be totally out of the question in the 20th century.
@@-danR Except he didn't have any exceptional automotive experience
And there's almost no way a for-profit car company is going to keep burning money on a mars base after its CEO stops making it.
Nice save at the end bubba! 👌 your voice was ready to quit on ya! 😅🤣

"I think Canada is too far south." - Not a sentence I would have expected.
I think he meant the station will be too far south for a Canadian observer.
All depends what part.
When I lived in Ottawa, the summers would regularly hit 40 to 45 degrees Celsius with the humidity. And the winters would get to -40 to -45 degrees Celsius with the wind chill in the winter. It's the most extreme temperature range out of any capital in the world.
As a Canadian, yes.
It was a case of Scott getting caught midstream in the change of thought before the change of speech. He does really well at contemporaneous speech. You don't see many , if any, edits in his narrative. As a Canadian.. I knew what he meant. lol
2:38 they dock like i dock in kerbal space program:

Keeping the docking stations standardized was the best decision ever ! if it was a proprietary attachment then you would need adapters !

IIRC the standardization was a result of the Apollo/Soyuz docking missions.

Scott, you preempted my thoughts on 'universal docking adaptors installed on the Chinese (Kerbal looking) station. Adaptability is a good thing as politics should never over rule the possibility of trying to save lives in danger in space. The maritime code here on Earth never gives it a second thought about not saving lives at sea from ANY country. Astronauts/ Cosmonauts, whatever, deserve that flexible support from the worlds space agencies.
While no situations have arose to test it, I think legally speaking space is considered a massive 'ocean' and 'maritime' law still applies, especially in the case of rescue. If able, any spacecraft would be obligated to come to the aid of another except if it put the lives of the rescuers in considerable risk.
EDIT- The Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts resolution of 1968 does just that, based on common maritime law but designed specifically for space. All of the world's major space powers, and even most who don't even have space programs, are signatories for it. So yes, any astronaut/cosmonaut stranded in space would receive rescue efforts from all craft able to do so.
Always love seeing new videos from Scott manley

Fantastic video really enjoyed it and I hope like you Scott that the future in outer space and science will transcend beyond politics. 🚀🛸

@@scottmanley Which beer was it?
For safety it makes sense for compatible docking in case of emergency on either station
I don’t know why you wouldn’t just head home to earth. O.o
@@liesdamnlies3372 if something happened to their orbiter it would be nice to find some international help
Assuming that for some reason the spacecraft couldn’t safely land, the plane change maneuver required between the ISS and Chinese station probably requires more delta-v than any existing manned spacecraft, certainly those heading for the space stations. Only Orion and Starship could make the trip.
Aren’t the orbits too different? If changing inclination during launch with a dogleg is probably too hard for Soyuz then there’s no way that you could do it once on orbit.
@@jackgibbons6013 the US could launch an entirely new orbiter from Kenedy and the russia could launch their orbiter too , it doesn't need to be an orbiting spacecraft since China may ran out of rockets at that time and the only nation that produces the rocket regularly are the US and Russian

Just like space travel itself...it can be done.
We are just beginning commercial space flight. Early days, like the spacex Dragon capsule is still only the model T and things will advance logarithmically faster as time goes by.
So do I! Hopefully enough of us in China, Europe and US want that future that eventually we will get it. :)
@@PhilLesh69 do you mean logarithmically... or maybe exponentially? :)
I'm stoked! This is amazing!
Thanks for the presentation; very interesting and inspiring.
Tiangong was an interesting craft. My theory was that it was intended to test rendezvous and docking more so than anything else. So they just put some life support equipment into it and called in a space station. Personally I suspect it was also a prototype for a large "Progress" style vehicle. BTW, I like your models.
Officially the Tiangong 1 & 2 are called "target spacecrafts", not space stations.
Congratulations to China for new space station, and nice intro Scott👌.
thanks for sharing!!
love your global spirit Scott!!
I have question:
When looking at Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Orion etc flotation system is very visible, but in Dragon it is not. Why?
Thanks for the info did not know this
They have a flotation device added by divers to keep them in the correct orientation in the water during crew egress. Crew dragon gets craned onboard ship before the crew gets out. The only onboard flotation devices are the turnover bags on the wide conical capsules like apollo and orion. Those designs have two stable flotation modes, point up and point down so they need the spherical floats at the top.
@@JohnnyWednesday It also eased the movement a bit. You know they said it was a good spacecraft but a lousy boat.
8:16 "Canada's too far south" 🤣
The only time that has ever been said. As a Canadian, I approve of this. Now I just with the weather would follow suit.
I came to the comments immediately on hearing that to say the same thing
yeah, about 380 degrees too far south.
Thank you, nice video!
Amazing really, the ISS and now the Chinese Space Station up there as well, technological marvels both! Seems strange there’s literally no genuine footage of them being put together though, would have thought everyone would like to see how such pinnacles of engineering were constructed.
There’s footage of the ISS’s construction, it’s just hard to find
Mechanical compatibility of docking systems is a wise move by China. It is great to see China joining nations with a permanent presence in space. It was about time too!
Unfortunately, China tried to join in the international efforts, but these efforts were blocked by the US for political reasons. It's a nice move by my country to elect the universally adaptable docking system. I hope International cooperations can make the world a better place.
@@SomeoneFromBeijing All the best to CNSA from India

Thanks!
2:58 I think it's not bad, except you're missing the rising tone during the second character. A bit similar to how you raise the tone at the end of a question in English. The way you said it sounds a bit like the tone going down.
If you look at the Pinyin, the lines above the letters indicate the direction in which the tone goes (Tiānhé). Keep in mind, it's not like the way those are used in French or Dutch, it only affects the tone. Another trick is to copy paste the chinese characters (天和) into Google Translate and asking it to pronounce it for you ;)
But if there are native mandarin speakers here, feel free to correct me. The only experience I have is 577 days of duolingo :P
Cool, mad props. On a lighter note: Are you preparing for our new overlords?
Those "Tian"'s should sound more like Tien or t-yen. The a's are much less vocalised in the back part of a word and sound more like e's.
Google's pronounce is a good shout, just don't press the one on the English side or you get Tea An Hay :D
Scott's Jiuquan and Shenzhou were too far from discernable though. I wish CNSA could provide translated names based on meanings instead of plain pronunciation for international use.
@@auferstandenausruinen They did though
天和 (Tiānhé) : Heaven's Harmony
天宫 (Tiāngōng) : Heaven's Palace
神舟 (Shénzhōu) : Divine's Ark
酒泉(Jiǔquán) this is a city btw: Wine's Spring
If you're actually endeavouring to get the Mandarin pronunciation close to right, you should probably look up what the letter-sound correspondences in Pinyin are, because they're pretty regular, but not intuitive for English speakers. For example, Pinyin represents a sound more like an English "ch" sound and not at all like a "k" sound.
(The "ch" is a different sound like the English "ch" sound, and the distinction is generally difficult for English speakers. Pinyin , , and are sort of like English "ch", "j", and "sh" with the tip of the tongue pointing forward, whereas , , and are sort of like English "ch", "j", and "sh" with the tip of the tongue curled back like "retroflex r"*, which, incidentally, is also how Pinyin is pronounced. , , and , are a similar series sort of like "ts", "dz", and "s". There is also quite a bit room for confusion with the vowels and also how the interact with and : E.g., , , and (?==) are each often one sound not two, sounds like English "uh", or [ə], when not next to other vowels, can sometimes sound somewhat similar or even like a "retroflex r", and of course the tones are a thing and often not written.) (I say "sort of" in the previous parenthetical in mostly because , , and , as well as , , and , are not actually voiced, but just unaspirated.)
*A "retroflex r" is a common pronunciation of the English "r", though I realize now that it's definitely not your pronunciation.
Also, I think it would be perfectly fine if you just matched the sounds approximately to English sounds (though preferably to actually close ones, like -to-"ch" rather than -to-"k"). I actually think it might be a little jarring if you actually always said the Chinese words with perfect Mandarin pronunciations, including the tones.
Thank you for this! Any chance of an update?
The Tianhe core module's weight is 22. 5 tons. The two experiment module and Xuntian telescope will also be over 20 tons. If there's need for international cooperation in the future. Tianhe core module can dock with another core module(and two more experiment module on it) and make the station reach 180 tons.
This new station will have the most capabilities that ISS has. The first 3 modules have 23 experiment cabins while ISS have 31 in total. And benefit from the technological progress in the last 20 years, CSS station's flexible solar panels have 30%+ photovoltaic efficiency, over two times of those on ISS. It's said that the power generation ability of CSS will eventually reach 50%+ of ISS.
Greeting from China to everyone. I don't think our Chinese space station is a competitor to the ISS. We all see US and USSR compete with each other. And that's what lead the fall part of USSR. So now we know these things should be dominated by science education and economy instead of politics. This is not a championship for us Chinese. I heard in our country is we plan to build a small scale space station that last ten or more years. And then evaluate its value. If worth our efforts, we maybe expand it or build a new one, otherwise this path will have a end finally like US give up the space shuttles.
And ISS you know is an international collaboration project. We Chinese are not silly to compete with all of other parts of the world. So in Chinese media, you will not hear this like what ISS competitor. Instead we Chinese want to participate in the ISS but we can't.
Lastly, I think China and US compete with each other mainly in economics. In deed, we China improve our military forces a lot. But it's still far behind the US. And China and US are separated by Pacific Ocean. China are far from Europe too. To be honest, our threat to the west world is far less than Russia.
Yeah it's unfortunate that politics is hindering technological progress. I think China is considered a huge threat because it's the only country capable of competing with the US dollar. Just look at how the US tries everything to stop the belt and road initiative to progress further. But the US is going to fail, 138 countries already signed a cooperation agreement with China.
Thanks Scott!

Congratulations to the Chinese. I wish them well with their space station, and I hope that everyone can figure out a way to cooperate in the future, with traffic going freely between stations and facilities regardless of its origin. Whatever is happening on the ground we should cooperate in space. It's a different realm where everyone is equally vulnerable. Radiation and micrometeorites don't care what country you were born in.
This is a very naive comment. This will be used against us all.
