A Brief History of Mir

The fungus meme is legit harrowing

"they found a window covered in stuff"
"moisture?"
"mold"
"kinda bad to have mold grow on a space station but it's no the end of the "
"it was on the outside "

if it were me it who discovered, i'd just board the nearest soyuz and gfto

Mir was like the Mercedes Patent Wagon of Space. Sure it was an absolute nightmare in some aspects but the many first it had and witness allowed space organizations to learn and improve space infrastructure

Didn’t this thing blow up in 1998 when that oil crew saved us from that Asteroid?

Say what you will, but MIR was 100% russian, no "International" crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never knew the fact about the flag on mir , thx

Bro what???? MIR had a cannon?? Thats the most Russian thing Ive ever heard of. Next well hear MIR had a secret vodka dispenser for the Cosmonauts on the DL

Boy that "we are one, we are human" really cuts deep now.

For all of the flaws in the Soviet system, you really do have to admire everything they did to further spaceflight and space science in general. We definitely wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for Salyut, Mir and other projects. Also, for anyone whno wants to get REALLY in depth with regards to the Soviet space station program, the book 'The story of space station Mir' by David M. Harland is highly recommended.

Hello from spitter!

Mir was a catastrophic mess which never killed anyone. Soyuz was just a really solid spacecraft.

Just watched your video about nuclear semiotics, you earned a sub. Awesome voice and awesome knowledge presentation

I like my space station mouldy bruh💀💀💀

The biggest question nobody answered, did the mold tasted good?

To be fair, fireworks, when you purchase them, are often labeled with certain shell types called "salutes" in reference to a gun salute. I think google translate just did what google translate does and mistranslate.

Look at the cast for "The Right Stuff" and the top billings are one off with the names if their real life counter parts. It's just a common name

incredible , need to watch 4 ads BEFORE i can watch video , and then OP showed ANOTHER ad in his video

so greedy

In regards to softcore porn in space, the crew of Apollo 12 when on the moon found that someone had integrated playmate into their cufflinks which had their tasks on what to do on the moon. The pictures even had instructions such as "Survey her activity"

Def the crudeness of the ussr space program makes it interesting

11/10 sponsor segue🤌🏻

AMAZINGNES!!!

could you confirm which module is used for ascent you mention that the orbital module is used,I thought the descent module was used for ascent and descent,didnt think there were any flight controls in the orbital module

Lexi!

theres a lot of movies and tv shows about or with the iss in it. my favourite is in trailer park boys when they grow weed in space

I expected an interview with Alexander

Thanks for the noise warning at the end.

Would love a "A brief history of space stations". Starting from the early concepts like Von Braun Ring, O'Neill cylinder, German Außenstation and the British Interplanetary Society's steam powered space station. Then Salyut, Skylab, Mir. Then turn of the century concepts like Space station Freedom, Columbus Space Station and Mir 2. Then ISS, Tiangong, CSS. And finally commercial spacestation like Bigelow and all the new Commercial LEO destinations

Still watching, great information.

Bit of a space nerd.

An outstanding documentary, rich in detail and information. Thank you. 🍀

I fell asleep watching this video and woke up to the chilling sounds of that meme at the end. I was utterly terrified.

It's absolutely nuts how crazy the Mir space station's situations got. "Mir 2, Fungal Boogaloo" got me cackling. :P

I know it's a la mode to dismiss and mock anything Russian these days, and don't get me wrong, I like your videos - but please, could you tone down the superiority complex commentary? It's to a great extent thanks to the efforts of the Soviet Union and later Russia that we are where we are today in space exploration. Yes, the Russians may have used a pencil instead of a 10 million dollar specially-engineered pen, but that does not make their contribution less valuable than the americans.. Were I to copy your style of commentary, I'd insert a comment about the Canadian space station programme here, but I wont.

i keep coming back to watch the mold part

Is ISS infected with dust mites or fungus too? Do they clean it more thoroughly or have any newer techniques for preventing or mitigating that kind of problem?

Самый длительный полет (437 суток 17 часов 58 минут 17 секунд) в истории космонавтики осуществил российский космонавт Валерий Поляков в январе 1994 года - марте 1995 года, работая на российской станции "Мир".

I had no idea that the shuttle ever docked with Mir. That blows me away I didn't know that.

Excellent work, thank you.

Wonder if ALL the mould was destroyed when Mir came down or if any survived....?

after Mir the mold was broken.

I am really enjoying your content my friend, thank you for making it. Just like everybody else I am fascinated by the mold, I never knew that before. I am a big fan of fungi, I am not knowledgeable enough to really make this claim but I think practically all life on Earth is dependent on our slimy friends. The fact they manage to worm their way into freaking space, and not only that but thrive there, makes me even more in awe of what fungi can do.

Could you imagine the all these folks getting back together for a party, and all the Aleksandrs having to mingle, and being introduced to other people? "Hello, Aleksandr, nice to meet you." "Have you met Aleksandr dear?" "Why yes, you just introduc....wait, but, that over there is Aleksandr.." "Yes dear, that is, and so is this, and him, and him, and that guy over there...."

I wonder if any of the fungus survived re-entry 💀
