This was excellent. I hadn't up to this point heard much information on the crew capsule. It is quite amazing how relatively comfortable the entire experience has been made by SpaceX. I didn't actually know that the suits could be pressurised, which is very impressive considering how sleek they look. I imagine that in a vacuum they would balloon up and probably make movement difficult? A small price to pay, mind you.

Bro roasted Blue Origins 😂😂

6:31 using the space shuttle as your graphic for “space is dangerous” hits hard.

Those interior shots of the Soyuz stress me out. So claustrophobic.

Overall a really great video - a few points though: 1. When showing dracos and superdracos, the video shows superdracos being tested when talking about draco, also it shows a turbopump schematic. Draco and Superdraco are both pressure fed, no turbopump on board Dragon. 2. When explaining the effects of vacuum, Blood inside the body doesn't actually boil. The human skin is sturdy enough to maintain sufficient internal pressure within the tissue to avoid boiling even at 37°C . The issues are instead: - the bends - excess gas in solution in the blood might form bubbles - causing strokes or other damage - similar to a diver rising too fast. - freezing - exposed mucous membranes in mouth, on the eyes and inside the lungs will encounter rapid evaporation of liquid, causing drop of temperature and possibly localized freeze burns. This is especially dangerous in the lungs. - sun burn - if skin is exposed to space directly, unfiltered sunlight will cause severe sun burn due to high UV content and heat where exposed - suffocation - no air means no oxygen, which causes loss of consciousness after as little as 10 seconds and death within 1-5 minutes its the very last that is typically deadly. Everything else is harmful but anyone rescued before they suffocated should have survivable injuries. 3. The suit doesn't have to restore sea level pressure. Typically pressure at 10000ft is considered comfortable in airliners, twice as high is survivable, even more if pure oxygen is supplied instead of nitrox, which most emergency suits supply in case of pressure loss. When exposed to vacuum, most IVA suit system typically supply an environment more akin to a climber on the peak of Mt Everest with an oxygen bottle than air at sea level. 4. The mission timeline could have mentioned stage seperation in a bit more detail. During 1st stage flight the g forces slowly increase as there's less and less propellant left. At the end the engines throttle down to prevent it from getting too high, but its pretty intense. Then they shut down at MECO, and you are suddenly weightless for the first time for a few seconds, feeling your stomach and everything else lift, before the 2nd stage ignites for the 2nd half of the ride. Stage sep is quite intense, and so is the 2nd stage flight on Falcon with the engine so close to the capsule, as reported by Astronauts.

Your comment, "switch and gauges that they could never fully understand" is an affront to our Apollo Astronauts and the vast knowledge they had of the workings of their spacecraft and its systems. A little respect and knowledge on your part would go a long way to establishing your credibility as a responsible UKpostsr for anything connected to space flight.

I love the early insult of want to be competitors. I also love you a speech cadence. Not too fast, so as newbies could understand. Good job team Kevin.

I’m always very impressed of the level of detail of your videos. Keep it coming

Outstanding video. I felt like i just went to space and back on a Dragon - minus the risk of exploding 😅

Thank you for not playing dramatic LOUD music in your videos... We can actually understand your dialogue... Thank you!

Insulting to the apollo crews, an instrument panel "they could never fully understand."

This was the greatest explaination of information of a flight . Very, Very impressed !!! Keep this kind of info coming.

I'm sure someone mentioned it, but CrewDragon does have manual control, about 40 of the and a joystick for bare minimal 'worst case' control by a pilot. It can also be flown via the ipads they carry, or any of the three tilting control panels.

Amazing content. Thanks for always posting these videos.☺

Loved this vid! Thanks! There are loads of great info about this subject all in one place, here.

Your video also explains why SpaceX got less money than Boeing. SpaceX already had Cargo Dragon (build using government subsidies) in reliable operation BEFORE they started development of the man-rated Dragon 2. Boeing had not developed ANY manned vehicle since the Space Shuttle.

Crew Dragon is a great space capsule, much more roomy than Apollo, though you'd never catch me in one, or in Blue Origin, lol. I cannot imagine being trained to go into outer space, or having to don a spacesuit. I have been weightless before but just briefly on an amusement park drop ride that is no longer in service, still it is a wonderful feeling, even if brief. One must commend those who go to space, it takes indeed the 'Right Stuff' to be in space for an extended period..

Favorite line = "hop over the line of technicality", love it!!

Great info and visuals! Go SpaceX!!

All those "esoteric dials and switches" the Apollo astronauts ''couldn't fully understand" - oh the horror ...

A high quality report as always!

Over the Top Great !! No gibberish its all very precise to the point and complete. Thank you.

Thanks for the excellent video. I really like the detail information and great visuals that help explain the whole process. I'm glad I subscribed to this channel.

I’m sure the astronauts of Gemini knew what each button and gauge was for.

Fantastic job. Thank you.

I love the video’s quality. Good job, enjoyed it a lot! 😊

Looks Awesome! Great video as well.

Very interesting video not to detailed so the average person can understand what's going on, I really enjoyed watching these videos very informative and intreaging to watch ,look forward to more to come, 👍

what a fantastic video, full of great value. Thank you for, amazing job

Outstanding! Love the narrative. Seems like a Sci fi futuristic story, but it’s happening for real. Watched this video just after the Tesla Space video about Elon Musk disrupting and saving the American Auto Industry with innovation. I loved the contrast with previous Apollo missions and how Spacex under Musk innovated the hell out of the experience making it far more comfortable, safe, and technologically packed. Wow! Thanks for producing these amazing episodes!

Brilliant. Thank you for this exposition.

Great explanation, thank you.

Wonderful summary. I thought I knew the details but I learned a few new ones. Thanks much !

I love this video! I can almost feel what it would be like to actually do this! Thank you!

Great video. Excellent explanation. As I sit and watch Star Trek. Amazing as I was born around the time of Sputnik

Absolutely wonderful. What a ride!

Once again.. DUDE YOU ARE AWESOME 🫵👏👏👏

I love feeling like a fly on the wall to historical events from this video.

Thank you!

Outstanding

4:06 Astro Alex on the left 💪🏼🇩🇪

@1:34: "...confronted astronauts with a dashboard full of esoteric lights, switches, and meters that they could never fully understand..." brilliant writing! LMFAO!

WoW!! I wanna have that experience.

this is my new favorite channel I just Subscribed! Excellent work!

Astronauts don't use EVA suits as flight suits. Why do you keep comparing them in your videos? Literally all flight suits are less bulky than EVA suits.

The incredible speed of development by SpaceX completely outpaced the previous companies that were building toward space tourism using a ballistic trajectory. True, that kind of tourism is still much cheaper. However, orbital tourism is going to get ridiculously cheaper if they ever can design, build, and certify a man-rated Starship. As a 64 year old, I had hoped this stuff would have happened in the 80s, but after it didn't (again and again), I had resigned myself to never seeing humans on the moon again or on Mars. I now think it is possible that I may be in the amazing group of individuals that will witness the first steps on the Moon and again on Mars, and may see tourists in orbit or even on the moon.

So underrated! Doesn't get the attention the space shuttle did. Can't wait to see the HLS for Starship. Maybe the can just mount crew dragon inside Starship??

that is a brilliant video, thanks for showing us

It would be interesting to see how dragon compares to other crewed orbital and beyond orbit spacecraft.

Great vid! 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️

Superb! 🤸🏽‍♂️ Thank you. 🤗 Best wishes 🖖🏽

Excellent video!!!

Excellent thank you

Simply great!

Very cool. Thx.

Spectrum of Innovations, conformity with the prevailing ideas to support the current thinking of the majority with confidence. Encouraging to new innovation in need of the hour. Inspiring

Super! Thank you!

Awesome job NASA 👏 The dragon is wonderfully made. 👏

"Rethinking best practices" 🙌

Learned something! 🙂👍

1:30 A little more respect for the Apollo capsule would be appropriate. You also need to remember when the Apollo capsule was designed and built.

Some units were confusing and I had to convert. Anyway thanks for the pictures.

And Dragon just looks cool, doesn't it? You said it right before I was going to type it: sleek and modern. It's like the Porche of crewed spacecraft. Then you look at Soyuz and how they are crammed in there so tight, it is like a clown car. They have to use a 2 foot long telescoping metal stick, like an old school teachers pointer stick, to reach some of the buttons and switches in Soyuz. Dragon has these comfy, stylish seats that rotate and touch screens and plenty of cabin space. It is like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Pinto. Dragon looks like a sci-fi video game set in the future in real life. It is so cool. I can't wait to see what Dragon v3 will look like.

Love it.

Good presentation!

Nicely covered. Thanks. ;)

SpaceX is the future of the United States space flight. And I for one am so happy to have the brains of Elon Musk and his amazing team behind the process. God bless America.

I wonder if, with the development of the XL Dragon and the other with the larger cargo fairing, we'll see hot staging of the second stage?

I love this kind of videos, if you could corrected some small thing it would much better. Thank you!

Such quality videos

The Red and Green marker lights are cool 😮

you showed a picture of the super draco jet pack when describing the draco clusters

Good job! Very well done!

A great video.

That was a great video. 👌

Why don't they fire the Draco thrusters prior to reentry, as part of the reentry burn? They are not used in decent and they have a significant mass whose elimination would aid in the reentry process.

GREAT VIDEO!

Not Virgin blue orgine technicability , i mean true space ... killed me this one :))) FOR THIS ALONE YOU WON MY RESPECT AND YOU GOT MY THUMBS UP

Very cool video.

That was good👍.

Amazing Video thank you very much for your work Everyone who is interested shouldtry Kerbal Space Program, the first title. There you can experience the whole process of beeing the "engineer" of the rockets.

What is max occupancy?

Hello can you pleas add both feet and meters when u tell how big stuff is because i am from Norway and i have Watcht every single one of the videos on botch channels over 2 years and yee i dont know how mutch 1 feet is but yee love your videos😍

Thank you, Elon! Congratulations!!🎉❤

So what happens to Dragon 2 if computers onboard have problems AND they lose contact with the ground? They are kind of screwed. No Buck Rogers manual control like in Mercury or Gemini. Gemini 8 would have been fatal with this system. Its emergency happened outside of the window of contact with the ground, and a thruster was stuck.

Pounds is abbreviated ‘lb.’ just fyi.

Thank you for the Blue Origin comment. IMHO, you are not really going into space if you don't go into orbit. Blue Origin just gets you really high up and you float around in zero G for a few minutes while falling back down. Ditto for Virgin Galactic and their rocket glider.

I do hope that all will go well but those who volunteer need to be well aware of the dangers and there are many of them,space is the final frontier

At the same time people die from hunger. Absurdity in its best.

Overall this is a decent video but some of these details don't check... example, a flight suit is not the same as an EVA suit (note: the shuttle flight suits were orange in color... 5:35 you have the EVA suit on screen but your talking about comparison to the old orange flight suits)

What pharmacy do they fill those?

They now have in the software the ability to use the super Draco’s in case of parachute failure.

Having served in the Navy for 41+ years, some of it on submarines, my only regret is that I will never get to take a ride into space.

I wonder what other things there are to pass the time in the capsule aside from checking out the Earth? If you are going to be in there for an extended period of time your bound to get bored like on an airplane. Maybe they can play Kerbal Space Program on those screens?

Stable Tempreture ! No need for spelling errors these days.

Why doesn't the elevator go all the way to the crew access arm? There has to be a logical reason that the astronauts have to go up a flight of stairs after taking the elevator ride.

I appreciate the suble Hunter S Thompson quote. LoL

Ten years ago I thought that Boeing would have had the ability to build the superior twenty first century space capsule and not the new start up SpaceX. Boy was I wrong. The Boeing Starliner has turned out to be the inferior space capsule and as of today has yet to fly a manned crew. The SpaceX Dragon Capsule by all accounts exceeded everyone's expectations and is a space capsule worthy of the 21st Century. I hope that SpaceX is able to continue innovating not only in space but I'd love to see them expand into commercial aviation.

Can you update a video on how our astronauts eat and sleep?
