    My fav launch ever has to be back in 2015 when the Soyuz crew decided to blast Europe’s “Final countdown” over the comms for Mr. Peake and crew. Even the news reporter giggled

    The idea of being forever lost in the space if something goes wrong is terrifying. I wish if one day I could also explore space 😊

    Russia has done a lot ofcaccomplishments, but what happened?

      Fall of the Soviet Union, poverty, when people sold their values just to buy food, and corruption of the nineties, corruption of the first half of the 2000’s and only since 2010’s space program became valuable for us

    Pretty cool to think that we may experience such a momentous occasion in our lifetime with a Mars landing.

    Same capsule since start ? Why don’t they fly in a space shuttle type vehicle and why couldn’t the shuttle go to moon with big payload doors ?

    • Ethan Norton

      The space shuttle was wildly expensive and couldn’t even past low earth orbit cause it only had that much fuel. As for the one capsule for years the soyuz is pretty reliable all things considered, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but also most space programs are underfunded right now so no new human spacecraft have been viable until recently, spending isn’t anything like it was in the 60s

    Ok, yall hear me out. What if the moon landing was fake? What if the government taps water is brainwashing us to think that moon landing was real 🤔🤔

    I’m disappointed that Tim Peake didn’t mention the Canadian CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen who is part of the Artemis 2 crew (especially when he specifically mentioned nations that are not part of Artemis)

    Don’t forget about the only Peruvian-American astronaut launched to the Mir and the ISS in 1997 and 2001 respectively ❤️🤩

    Fun fact: Bruce McCandless II, who made the 1st untethered spacewalk, was years earlier the _Apollo 11_ capsule communicator (“CAPCOM”) for the Gold Team at Houston’s Mission Control, whose shift served most notably during the launch.

    Hope most of us here will live long enough to see humans land on the moon again, and filmed with 8K videos lol

    The longest time spent on ISS is actually a accidental. The Soyuz spacecraft that brought those crew to ISS suffer a coolant leak and the Russians decide that the Soyuz was unable to conduct the crew return safely. The next Soyuz mission that supposed to have crew was launched uncrewed to enable the safe return of those astronauts.
