Scott left out one key 'Everything We Know': the X37b is man-rated. It has been shown furthermore on at least one aerospace website that it could also be man-carrying. There is no cockpit, but the bay and mass capacity would allow a sealed capsule for one person, with about the same comfortability factor somewhere between the old Mercury and the Gemini capsules. A laptop and cable would provide everything necessary for control. The question then becomes, has this happened; or what would be the point?

It has such a _reliability_ record that I would class it as 'mannable', by such manly men (or women) who might venture to 'pilot' the thing.

It's very free form and open ended in terms of goals, and also has a very active modding community! It does a decent job of teaching the intuition of orbital mechanics through experience as well, although it is lacking in the department of quantitative and rigorous education without a curriculum and teacher to go along with it, because it's not intended to being learning tool but does have a basic simulation of aerodynamics, orbital mechanics (just one body's gravity at a time, with the planets set on their orbits being hard-coded), and structural strength of your spaceships all being taken into account. If you're interested in it even if you don't typically play videogames I'd highly recommend looking it up on KZread to see what the gameplay is like, how the creator tools for making spaceships work, and some of the crazy stuff other people have made with it! Then if you do decide to give it a try I'd say it's absolutley worth every penny, and I think there's also a demo based on a very old version. They're also making a sequel (rumored to be more sci-fi while the current one is decently true to current technology).

It would be interesting to take one of those ball bearings used in gyros which are so prone to failing in space and see if you can replicate the failure and bring it back. There's speculation that solar flares might cause arcing between a ball and the chase leaving a little spur. Since the switch to ceramic bearings there hasn't been a failure which suggests there might be merit to the solar flare theory. I'd say its worth spending a sizable fraction of a billion dollars to find out.

Everytime I watch one of his videos knowledge explodes into my face :D

Thanks for this

Thanks Scott been wondering what that was for a while now.

I know one guy that will be pissed when they lower the ramp and a Tesla rolls out 😏

Seen in the news today a Northrop Grumman robot docked with an active satellite in orbit. Made me think of the x37b. Wouldn't be surprised if it had returned from orbit with a Chinese satellite in its hold. Seems possible.

Naw..it may have assembled a giant SSP satellite for the length of time it was up in orbit

Some real kerbal tech right there. I am excited to see more of this project.

So incredibly cool! I honestly thought this was something born of the discarded crew return vehicle that was scraped in favor using the Russian hardware adopted for the task. I remember seeing a CRV being built in Houston in 1997 as a tourist. I still remember it, a low slung lifting body all covered in green aircraft primer... Whatever happened to the CRVs? That might be worth looking into by some super cool guy somewhere...

Get out of California while you still can Scott!

Where the power goes out so you can't charge your electric car that makes you feel self righteous, and where people drop drug needles and shit in the streets. Seriously, get out of California.

Yeah, California is literally politically destroying itself

they left someone in there to see effects of cosmic radiation non the human body. RIP Bob

Very informative as usual! I know you're bored with your old intro, but for me its like changing the theme for Star Trek.

Very interesting. Thanks from France :)

They're launching microsats which fly around and attach limpet mines to the bad guys' satellites. ;)

Satellite Capture. That's what they're doing, and why the missions take so long.

@@konradgajewski8215 I haven't heard much about Russia's spy satellite with the arm on it.

Very timely Mr Manley. Any thoughts on it being a test bed for a new unmanned space shuttle?

The imperial shuttle in the background, so good looking.

Oh, I've got an oscillating heat pipe.

Scott: this thing is super secret, now let's look at the design. USAF: we're going to have a friendly little chat about this at your house. Scott: it's probably not a weapons platform or a spy satellite. Probably just a test vehicle for new technologies. USAF: we won't need the swat team after all.

The power was cut to his entire area just in an attempt to block this video. But Scott prevailed. ;)

Power to you Scott! :)

I used to work with hydrazine in open barrels. Our protective gear looked more like a raincoat, rubber boots, and a face shield. That was 30 years ago and I'm still here. These guys are wearing stuff you could walk around on the moon.

Here's reality: This 'mission' is completely financed by the Uber wealthy Tessier-Ashpool family, onboard is a complete assembly array equipped with robotic arms. It is building an orbital station that is to be the home of the Tessier- Ashpool family, all of this is under the guidance of an AI named Wintermute.

Having a little uncrewed spaceplane sure would be useful if you were considering nuclear powered spy satellites and wanted a way to bring the reactor cores back.

Aboot time, Scott. Cheers!

Great video, think you
