@gavinregier6177 India has the Gaganyaan capsule that is far in development, so that's definitely one to add to the list. And IF starship lives up to its full potential, we could see it by the end of this decade.
It's crazy to see the differences between USA and Soviets early on. Really highlights the different production capabilities even if unmanned launches aren't shown.
@@Anim_Mate You could also add Vladimir Remek from then Czechoslovakia (todays Czechia), as the first kosmonaut/astronaut from a different country than USA or Russia (USSR)
Right!? I also found it interesting seeing the pace of Shuttle launches shortly before vs after Challenger. NASA was clearly trying to up the rhythm of Shuttle launches and the pressure to launch backfired. Also interesting to note the regularity of Soyuz launches, almost like a metronome at some points
At the end you should have spaced out the vehicles evenly, because the width difference between some vehicles (like soyuz vs. shuttle) is quite big so it's compare the amount of flights in each decade. Other than that, well done!
I see what you mean. I wanted to space everything out as close as possible to the preceding mission. Having them all equally spaced in the final “graph” would show the totals nicely but then then the x-15 and ss1 are VERY wide so do I set those as the standard width… doing it the way I have done keeps it nice and simple. I’ll probably just add a counter for each row in the future.
There's a fairly standard rocket stack size for LEO launch vehicles, but it's really obvious just from the scale which rockets went further (Apollo) or were only suborbital (New Shepard).
This is a really cool animation. Could you also include colors like red for tragedy, orange for near-tragedy and green for safe mission, and during those pop-up texts about a mission, include a line that points to the spaceship you're referring to? That would be a whole lot more info, as I thought SkyLab was launched on a Saturn-V, so when a text about SkyLab didn't appear, I was a bit confused.
one criticism, the graph at the end doesn't paint a good picture as the vehicles don't have a constant width. the space shuttle is very wide, and makes 1980-2009 look like they had a much, much larger amount of launches
Shuttle is just the most awesome of them all (provided you leave out the destination, i.e. Saturn V to the moon). Just keep in mind that the primary goal of many STS missions was not human space flight, but some other automated payload.
Those Saturn V rockets look so majestic and illustrate well how much more difficult it is to go to the Moon instead of LEO. At the end of the video when you can see all of the missions in a line it makes me a bit sad to see the towering Saturn V rockets only at the far left. The Moon missions lasted only for a blink of an eye.
Great Stuff well done! I always forget how many of the shuttles launched, it's so many. Some improvements i would suggest though. Like a number of how many people were on board (+ flags of the nations of the crew members) next to the rocket and a counter of how many have been send to space until that point. Also it's not easy to see which launch corresponds to the text on the top. Adding the name of the mission (maybe vertically besides the rocket) and maybe just a * to it when a text is shown would help so much. The zoom out at the end is superb! That's a sub from me! Hope we get a reupload in the future! Cheers.
Great video! I love these types of videos, and have even made a few of my own. As others have said, using different pitches for each launch vehicle was a great idea. Did you use use any particular scale system? One suggestion: If you ever update this, please consider using YYYY-MM-DD format for the date :)
I just used the next note up for each new launch system. For any future updates I’d like to use something that’s more melodic but I don’t have much music knowledge so I’ll have to skill up there. Thanks for the compliment threelon!
You misunderstood me. The Soviets accomplished a lot, just not at the same time as the Gemini launches which all happened without a single Soviet launch between them.
2012-2019 when it was just 1-2 Soyuz visits of 3 people per year to the ISS by the end was absolutely brutally boring era of US spaceflight, thank god for SpaceX
Don't forget that in an alternate universe, the space trebuchet of the Zambian space agency was a complete success, forever changing the way humans would travel to the ISS
Ashamed that we as humans have turned the final frontier into a competition once again, now that the ISS project is basically over countries are working independently instead of coming together for a common goal. Like an international moon base that we can all share, it reduces the cost for everyone and all the space programs would get experience.
I agree with you. It’s a pity that the US wasn’t satisfied with the collapse of the Soviet Union, they continued to expand NATO and move closer and closer to the borders of Russia, absorbing the former territories of the Soviet Union, which would ultimately cause confrontation, which expectedly happened in 22
@@maxg9357 dont ie to yourself, by taking Ukraine Russia would be in direct contact with nato, which their stated reason for invading was to prevent nato from expending near its borders, both you guys are bad at lying to yourselves.
With all the Soyuz launches and the relative sheer number of crew on the space shuttle, I wonder which spacecraft (so far) has carried the most humans to space. NASA says the shuttles carried 355 humans to space while there have been more crewed Soyuz flights than shuttle flights-but a lot of Soyuz flights only had 2 cosmonauts aboard.
Wait, you include the x-15 and SpaceshipOne, but not SpaceshipTwo? Otherwise very cool. Interesting to see the ebb and flow of pace over time, and the sheer consistency of Soyuz.
Congratulations!! 👏 Excelente recopilacion de datos y magnífica, exposición ilustrada, gráfica y cronológicamente 👍✍️ impresionante la Soyuz y el Transbordador (Schutel) El futuro será para... F-9, Starship? o China....
Soyuz launch mass is ~312 metric tons. Saturn V launch mass is 2965 metric tons, and could technically put ~141 metric tons into low earth orbit. (as in, when it reaches LEO that's the weight of the rocket remaining basically). By mass, you could stuff 7 Soyuz' just into the first stage of the Saturn V. As you can see, the lunar landings required basically lifting half a Soyuz into orbit. Getting to the moon and back is significantly harder than just getting to orbit.
The SpaceShipOne prototype clears the Karman line but none of the VG flights have so far. New Shepard clears the Karman line. Neither STS-51L Challenger or Soyuz MS-10 reached the Karman line but since they were aiming for space I included them anyway. In future revisions of this video I’ll highlight successful/aborted and orbital/suborbital flights and maybe any tourist flights below the Karman line.
Im really excited about the diversity from 2020 to now. It no longer takes a superpower to achieve manned spaceflight. Very exciting times.
Yes it makes a nice change from “Soyuz, Soyuz, Shuttle, Shuttle, Shuttle, Shuttle, Soyuz”. The next few years will certainly be interesting
I wonder if we will see anything besides Soyuz, Dragon, Shenzhou, Starliner (maybe..), and a couple Orion flights

Thanks Jaxon I really appreciate your support 🚀
excellent ! would be great to show the number of people per flight, grand total and sub totals for each decade
Great ideas, I’ll add these into future versions
This visualisation was great. For all the attention the moon race gets, I think Mir and ISS are the real champions of manned space travel.
so cool! tim dodd would love it!

That was amazing and surprisingly peaceful
No mention of the Skylab missions?
Incredible visualisation, thanks for making this
Great video! Very well presented
Man the Space Shuttle and the Soyuz had a nice dance with each other.
The numbers are about to skyrocket
Nice pun!
It’s also every shuttle launch ever because somehow that had to be manned every time
Very nice. You should remake this in a few years when starship has had crewed flights!
And hourly launches
Also: crewed Orion+SLS in 2025 and maybe the Indian Gaganyaan in a couple year, too.
Thats an awesome video man!!!!! Love the visualization!!
