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.
Paul Wilkinson 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
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 ))
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.
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".
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!
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.
@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 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.
"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
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
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.
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?
@@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.
"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.
'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.
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.
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!
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
On the latest episode of “Watch This Space”, our administrator, Jim Bridenstine chats via satellite with astronaut Nick Hague.

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
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
Glad you're still here!!!
I hope he gets another chance.
And now he made it to space. Congrats!

incredible. the systems for safety. welcome home young man.
This is why the Soyuz is my favourite rocket, incredibly reliable and very safe too
All hail to Soyuz
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

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!
I empathize his disappointment for not making it into space. what a bummer. Glad he's alive though
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.

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.
