And now he made it to space. Congrats!
Glad you're still here!!!
I hope he gets another chance.
Brilliant how the abort system has been flying on rockets for 35 years never once being used in the middle of a flight, and it worked perfectly
Astronauts are always so humble, positive, friendly guys :3
The thing to take comfort in, is that the Soyuz and the rocket it rides on are some of the safest rides to space. Only a handful of people ever died in a flight, and even when things go wrong emergency systems can be counted on. Most importantly, the people who get to be astronauts or cosmonauts are the kind of people who don't scare or anger easily. The kind of people who stay calm even if everything is on fire.
Of course, they are well trained for all kinds of scenarios, including something like this.
And some people call "Captain America" a superhero. 😁
Yeah and mega intelligent, total opposite to the conspiracy foil hatters.

Intelligence is not necessarily protection from believing stupid things. Intelligent people, once they fall for foolishness, tend to be hard to convince because they can keep inventing justifications for it. Often enough, deniers aren't stupid...just very very wrong and very very stubborn.
Yeah I wonder why NASA didn't use the same sort of rockets, instead opting for the killer spam can called the space shuttle? The deaths over these years with NASA vs the Russians is quite a difference
Thanks to Nick Hague for giving such a good, first hand summary of what happened. Good interview.
incredible. the systems for safety. welcome home young man.
So thankful you made it back safely. We tend to forget what you go through in terms of the arduous training and actual launch and re-entry risks. I hope you safely reach your destination soon and return safely (again). Thank you for your service.
All hail to Soyuz
This is why the Soyuz is my favourite rocket, incredibly reliable and very safe too
Thanks for posting this! So happy Nick and Aleksey are safe. Time to get back on the horse. Maybe a ride on a Dragon this time...
Hope he gets a new mission soon
He got high enough to earn his astronaut wings.
"zero G indicators" I think he means the toys on strings :P
Like that scene with the teddy bear in Salyut 7 :D
Exactly )) His name is "Олимпийский Мишка" (The Olympic Little Bear), or just "Мишка" or "Миша" )) and is the mascot of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games and Russians love him very much ))
Vitalis Girsas
I believe back then, said bear even had fan outside the Soviet Union. Even US citizens found the creature heartwarmingly cute.
Yup i'ts aawesome :D
Yeah.. he said the zero g indicators *he had hanging around*
Estamos muy contentos de que se encuentre bien Sr. Yes Sr.¡
We have to get him in space ASAP.. He is a great representative for NASA.
Amazing. So glad that millions of dollars are worth spending to save astronauts. Human life is precious. Serious aside I bet that was a he'll of a ride.
Yes, but that human life is also worth paying for the noble endeavor of space travel. A soldier's life lost in war is a life wasted; an astronaut's life lost is a worthy sacrifice on behalf of the human species.
U are correct tristan band
Actually billions of rubles were spent and incalculable work hours of Soviet and later Russians engineers and simple workers.
If not for the war we would not even have rockets. Retrofitted ICBM's where the original satellite launchers.
USA: not so fast.
*develops billions of dollars nuclear weapons*
The life is full of surprises!
I empathize his disappointment for not making it into space. what a bummer. Glad he's alive though
Yes! This is the guy to fly with! Nice job!
That guy is a very lucky one. He got his place in history as one of those who have survived a Soyuz rocket failure in flight. But on the other hand notice that he actually did not "managed" to cross a Karman line during the flight, so *not yet* earned his "astronaut wings".
Damn son, you want to take away his asstronaut wings? That's ice cold...
Yakav8r55m Exactly. Hell even launching on a Soyuz with the intent to go to space is enough. He’s an astronaut.
Agreed, you ride a lit rocket off the pad you should get your astronaut wings!
Thanks a lot sir serjy korlieev

Tom Costello, Sir, you are a very kind and intelligent gentleman. Congratulations for safe landing. And i hope for your next successful ride to Space & ISS... Hello from central Europe
What an amazing story and one lucky man! Well two including his cosmonaut partner. Its amazing that 39 year old escape equipment worked so well. I do have one question, I noticed right around the 5:25-5:30 minute mark the video had an edited "cut". Why? He was talking about being at NASA 5 years and...it cuts? Then jumps to "you don't always get what you want"...what was cut and why I wonder? Did he say something NASA didn't want heard? Or just shotty editing?
I would much rather have a bumpy ride on the Soyuz than be turned into a crispy critter in the Shuttle.......
@Yakav8r55m Exactly, the Shuttle was designed to do everything and hence it was compromised from the start.......The reason why such large parts of ISS could be carried up by the Shuttle was because the military got involved when the cost of making it got increasingly higher and they wanted it to be able to launch spy sats, so its take off weight grew and then it needed more power to lift off, bringing about the fucking already dangerous SRB's, (once lit they can't be turned off) hooked up next to a massive fuel tank......
@Yakav8r55m Of course more humans died during inner space you fool!, outer space has no oxygen and has no capacity to sustain life......The Shuttle and Soyuz have to get them into space and back while sustaining that and with a good measure of safety, I wouldn't get on a fucking bus that had the Shuttles safety record, nevermind a space vehicle.....
@@exsappermadman25055 mate, I think what he meant by "inner space" was low earth orbit!
@@EnigmaverseElysium He should have been more specific then,.......
@@exsappermadman25055 that is also true! I know it's just the internet and that's why we are all using language as liberated as can be, but we gotta be careful of how that makes other people feel. A simple mistake, granted that the other person was wrong indeed, should not be reason enough for us to have the right to call them a 'fool'. But I understand you man, but when you'retaking the time to share your ideas or even 'educate' others, you might as well do it as respectfully and objectively as possible. That goes a long way for sure. The way we communicate with people on the internet can be practice for how we develop our manner of conversation with others in real life.
Soyuz the best space ship ever . Half a century old an performs better than new tech
Great that a contingency measure worked to perfection. I am wondering how high these two went vertically when the free fall kicked in. Also, how long it took them to fall back to earth!
Bridventure PR .. Likely about 60 miles up, or more, and one report said it took 34 minutes to come back down.
"First indication was the violent shaking around..."
Second indication... pucker factor shoots up... it shoots right up there. :-P
And we all thank God for the Soyuz's "Nope" system. Sense's a slightly off kilter wiggle... it yells "NOPE" and "I'm outta here" and punches out. It is almost as if the Soyuz itself is trying to save its own life it gets out of there so fast. :-D
What a pro.
Apparently some people don't believe in that Russia-Russia-Russia-thing. 😊
Congratulations on coming back alive and well!
Damn i love Russian rocket... Soyuz system is the most reliable of its kind today.. all systems is working perfectly..
Somebody has to come up with a reliable taxi service to & from the space station...there should have been a seamless transition from the aging shuttle fleet to something else years ago from the US.
Curvature of the earth?
After this video Ilon Mask thinks twice about escape booster failure
He better have Astronaut Wings after that, screw the 61 mile rule.
'fairly high G load for a fairly brief period of time' is a good first guess, but how HIGH a G-load [3? 6?] and HOW brief [half second? 2 seconds?]. I hope to find out someday.
About 17G's for a few seconds.
That's the value for the launch abort tower, which had just been jettisoned. The shroud separation motors which are used after main engine emergency cutoff would need far less force to achieve a safe separation. Might be as low as half a G. The internal cabin camera showed the vehicle going to zero-G [note the hanging toy], then shaking violently [the rocket breakup?], then a brief back in the seats motion that does not appear to have been as violent as 17 G's.
6:08 - we're in this together... human *endeavor* - SpaceX - Endeavour Capsule
Or NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavor. But yes, he said the thing!
@@AltimaNEO Endeavour was named for a research ship, IIRC, while the Endeavour Dragon capsule was either named for the shuttle or for what its crew felt the Dragon was.
And ironically, on the subject of shuttles, the space shuttle Enterprise is now a self-fulfilling prophecy. The NCC-1701 Enterprise from Star Trek: TOS is now canonically named for the NX-01 Enterprise from the show of the same name, which is canonically named for the Space Shuttle Enterprise… which is officially named for the TOS incarnation of Enterprise by mass popular demand (NASA even had the TOS crew dedicate it during the rollout ceremony). So technically the Space Shuttle Enterprise is named for itself in an endless recursive loop. As is literally any ship in Star Trek with the Enterprise name.
Not Putin anyone in space this week
hahahaha no
In Russia you don't make Putin jokes, Putin makes you joke
why was he getting more g load because of ballistic entry ?
The angle of desent was a lot steeper, plus the capsule is a lot harder to control, harsher forces than when the soyuz usually re-enters the atmosphere
"We don't have a way to get to the Space Station?" We are lucky, now, to have SpaceX, with its updated technology, and ability to take 4 astronauts safely to and from the I.S.S. - for about half the cost of what the Russians were charging us. Those missions that got supplies and astronauts (4 at a time) to the I.S.S, when SpaceX got them there - and back? Incredible - smooth, and amazing.
The Russians were threatening to cancel our ride privileges when SpaceX made its first successful autonomous delivery to the I.S.S. From then on, the monopoly was over.
We most definitely DO have a way to and from the Space Station - now - and a far superior one. No more "spam in a can" flights.
Thanks God. Precious life has been saved.at this point of time remembering with broken heart those 14 astronauts who sacrificed their lives in shuttle tragedy.
American astronaut indirectly shutting out NASA system
tell me how they went thrue the Van Allen belts ??? some one ?
Lol they didn't young grasshopper. Van Allen belt is 300miles away they didn't even make it to space which is 62miles away
In casw of the moon landings they just flew through an less active area.
the same way you would go through a hula hoop
7G's is a heck of a lot
I'd say
7G is just a little bit more than 5G?!? Really??
At that point you probably barely feel the difference. What’s 400 extra pounds of weight if you already feel like you weigh 1000? Astronauts and fighter pilots are trained to handle up to 9, and theoretically could handle even more for short times. Once you’ve felt yourself weigh 1800 pounds for a while, and had to struggle against the weight of a small car (think in terms of a Mini) just to stay breathing/conscious, I’d bet 1400 feels like a relief to them, and that 1000 is a cakewalk!
Why in space USA and Russia are friends and enemy’s on planet Earth? Not because of gravity force?
I'm going to guess astronauts, scientists and engineers are intelligent so don't squabble about the prestige of the country they happened to be born in.
It must be the gravity that pulls down some people's brains into their asses. Up there astronauts/cosmonauts don't have gravity, so they are just fine. 😁
Space stuff is expensive.
The US and others wanted an orbiting space lab.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US was worried about Russian rocket scientists going to work for other people, and figured going into partnership with Russia on new space stuff would keep them busy.
@@imrekalman9044 they have gravity, that's why its called micro gravity. They are just constantly falling around the earth which gives you false zero g. But yeah seems like gravity pulls peoples brains into their ass.
@@alex_inside Correct. The gravitational pull is balanced by the centrifugal force coming from their orbiting the planet. At least that's what we were thought in school 20 years ago. :)
Such lame questions :-(
jerry smith finally got a job
That ride was nothing compared to watching "First Man".....that was shaky cam torture.
Siema wszystkim 😀
NASA has 360p in 2018
Imagine if Russia and US worked together. They could conquer space.
You mean they aren't perfection? Wadda slurprise.
This was so badly edited and at key points which are going to send the Tin Hat Conspiracy Theory folks into hysterics. Being "Open•Transparent •Trustworthy" should be the primary priorities when dealing with the public.
A simple bird will send the lunatics into hysterics. Because they are lunatics. Not worth one second of anyone's time effort or resources.
CZcams Scientism exposed
Maybe he can ride a dragon to the iss next time
I think its still going to be the Soyuz since its extremely reliable and safe, there where only 3 dramatic failures of a modern Soyuz and on every one of them the crew survived. The Dragon still has to prove itself plus the falcon 9 had more failures over its short life than the Soyuz over 24 years but I guess "if you dont fail you ain't inovating enough". ~Elon Musk
@@alex_inside it'll probably be soyuz, especially considering they already know what issue caused the failure. But also because its already proven to be safe and reliable. Still wonder how long it will be till they can launch again.
@@tyler60904 You can look it up, forgot the date.
@@alex_inside This comment hasn't aged well, the dragon is up!
@@jow8874 just seen it. Dragon has some enormous footsteps to fill in.
They hit the glass dome that covers the flat earth.
How about Columbia disaster ?
@@addicz2 They hit the tin dome that covers the square earth.
If they hit a dome as you say, then that dome would be less than 50km high. But yet the sun is supposed to be within the dome and 5000km high.
That’s one big ass snow globe
What kind of dimwit down votes a video like that?... :/
Trolls trying to evoke emotional responses from numb nuts?
Why does he mention seeing the curvature of the Earth? What does that matter? And the "blackness of space."? Dumb.
NOTHING to argue about.....We have NEVER seen any other mammal on the International play station....
And we NEVER will.......
Same with plants and pollinators...NOTHING.....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....
Why is that ?
He said he could see the curvature of the Earth out the window at the apex of his flight. How far will NASA go to plant this false information and trying to get us to believe Earth is spherical!?!
Edit: My comment was just meant to be a joke. I'm well aware that Earth is spherical.
NASA really doesn't give a shit if a dribble of flattards think the Earth is flat.
Nobody acres about you. You fail all the time to prove your points. Just a laughing point of the scientific community.
Good on the Russians for the safety system that worked.
It was just probable that a shuttle would fail
A few did...
You've been given a chance. Don't ever attempt to travel to space ever again.
That would like saying that someone who was almost in a car accident should never go in one again. What it proved is that these types of problems are survivable if there are escape systems.
They always have to emphasise that they saw the curvature of the earth hahaha . I wonder why hmmmm
Ironically, during the soviet-era “space race” the Russians didn’t put a lot into safety. Glad to see that has changed drastically today. 😜😂😂😂
What a terrible interview. He didn't really say anything. I learned absolutely nothing from this.
e.g. "Please explain why you were being shaken from side to side. "
"Nope."
They should have interviewed the cosmonaut.
Liar.
How do you know?
I'm not an idiot.
On the latest episode of “Watch This Space”, our administrator, Jim Bridenstine chats via satellite with astronaut Nick Hague. Hague is back in Houston - just days after he and Russia’s Alexey Ovchinin safely made a ballistic landing in Kazakhstan on Oct. 11, when the launch of their Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station was aborted due to an anomaly.
NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine:
“If you would, just share with us how you’re feeling.”
NASA Astronaut, Nick Hague:
“All things considered, being able to walk away from something like that with only a couple of bruises or bumps - you know, physically, I’m doing awesome.”
Russia’s space agency is investigating the failure, while NASA and space station partners evaluate potential changes to upcoming station activities. To see the administrator’s entire conversation with Hague, go to nasa.gov/watchthisspace.
