Haha, agree, Mir was very outdated when Mir-Shuttle appeared. Same thing is happening now with the first Russian ISS modules. Mir was destroyed because it was almost defunct, and the same will happen with the ISS generally.
Hard to compare them. The shuttle was like a bus, arranged and cleaned on earth for each new mission. The Mir was like a garage or a workshop which never had a free day in 15 years (because it was that, precisely).
Amazing contrast between Mir and the Shuttle, like night and day. It might have been compounded by moving into the sun's light but I think it's more to do with the better lighting and white reflective surfaces in the shuttle. still, incredible footage from many years ago
The Mir and its adjoined modules were really cramped! What an interesting contrast.... the Shuttle and its compartments seemed larger and more, well lit. Good video!
@haidls back On June 25, 1997, Vasily Tsibliev took remote control of the Progress resupply vehicle and fired its rockets to propel the craft toward the Mir Space Station, which subsequently collided with Mir during a docking attempt, resulting in significant damage to the space station.
Who gives a shit? Mir was the first modular space station and a resounding success in terms of design. Shuttle was an essentially failed design that was abandoned.
@chepushila1 Mir had quite some problems including things like mold. On shuttle while in terms of cost it didn't work it still allowed for Hubble to be used to this day, and for ISS in it's current form.
A little bit. If I'm not mistaken the original was at 30fps, presented here at 25fps. Gives you a bit more time to see details and helps with stabilization.
@Retro Space HD Oh ok... although playing back at 1.75x, which is a lot faster than 30 fps, looks more like real time than if it was played back at 30... it was probably 48 or something... I don't know
@MalleusImperiorum Actually, Yakub made the first modular space station 3000 years ago. He rained down on his enemies from orbit."he rained down on his enemies from orbit". During the phenocrian hyper war He discovered zteddick astronomy

This is history right here.

Of course it is because the shuttle is space vehicle while Mir is a space station fixed into orbit
look at the russian side of the iss. just as cramped. granted these are the mir 2 modules so they are essentially a very similar design.
Both MIR and the Russian segment were/are basically a Salyut variant, with a bunch of TKS variants attached.
Looks like a hoarders house
Mir is just the Detroit of space
Legend has it the space shuttles landing gear was replaced by cinder blocks after docking
Shuttle was the Betamax of space.
Just wow!
When progress hit the solar-panel while trying to manually re-docking, lights went out sending MIR out of control was a nightmare

@haidls back No problem , your english is fine
Shuttle is clean and well illuminated with soft diffused light while Mir is a dystopian nightmare of Facehugger ambushes.

What were all the white "hoses" for? It seems like those were added in after?
I guess for air circulation.
It's part of the old soviet era air circulation system. They could be torn by hand in an emergency, and you are correct they were added after docking.
@@cgbspender1113 Pretty neat. I see some similar "hoses" in the ISS as well in videos and photos, I assume used for the same purpose?
@@BrandonLy3993 same thing as the iss russian modules are mostly made of the mir 2 planned modules.
Jesus Christ how much cables are there
Wow!
Is the video slowed down?

Where did they sleep
The footage starts in one of the sleeping stations if I'm not mistaken.
Stuff of nightmares
Watched with my mouth open
Mir was so much better than ISS
The Russian modules on ISS are mostly the same as Mir. But I agree that Mir had a special charm.
i think it's more spacious, that's why chinese use the mir design for their space station
@@Fauzanarief-n7i iss is bigger and more spacious. compare the international modules to the russian iss modules and see.
My mother can clean it in 1 hour
Bad ass😎👍❤️
Where’s all the “no stars” and “it’s cgi” trolls now. Or do you just do it on nasa/esa/spacex videos??
Then there was nothing the USSR was the first!
Mir wasn't the first space station. The NASA Skylab and USSR's own Solyut came first.
