Great story. Due to the cold war, everything to do with the Soviet space program was played down in the USA, so I only vaguely remembered the story of Salyut 7. Can't imagine what it must have been like to search for an electrical fault in a frozen space station. Sounds like science fiction.

I mean come on, no propaganda and the act of Bruce was heroic, but come on: the damn Russian? He waited into orbit for the mission to arrive, saved an american's ass out of a part burning part freezing space station, lead the second drill safe to the drilling point and also offered to stay with the bomb. And he did that in a comic(funny) style. Come on. Don't make him a secondary character

As a US type I assume you would prefer a completely negative video concentrating on the problems it had and full of propaganda about how it failed and how useless the Soviets were just to build up your own Low Esteem. Just remember ISS was started years ahead of what it would have been because Russia built the first key self contained unit based on the Mir Station. Also it is as a result of all there experience with the Salute program and Mir program that ISS has lasted so long. All the USA had done in this area was launch one space station to a very low orbit that lasted 91days. Not years.

9:10 best high quality and amazing animation. Looks real and legit, especially the lens flares.

In a PBS documentary on the Soviet space stations years ago; The "ALMAZ" space station wasn't cancelled immediately ; with 2 being built , launched, and manned, with a 3rd never launched due to program cancellation. Their Cosmonauts revealed that their missions were to find and map military installations, resources, and strengths. This was during the "Cold War". Both the US and Soviets began secretly ramping up their "space station" design programs in the early 60's. Years later President Johnson revealed ours during a speech at a UN assembly meeting regarding our own US station program of the US Air Force called "MOL" (manned orbiting labratory) ; which would've been crewed by USAF astronauts. The Soviets didn't believe that "ours" was just an orbiting lab. Our MOL station was only test launched( as a empty shell with no crew) with the "Gemini- B" modified capsule --once ; and sucessfully returning. But the Soviets were first in getting their "Almaz" stations into orbit fully functional in the early 70's. They stated that with their optics, they mapped a multitude of areas in the US, world, including major cities; and NYC. They watched people walking, outrageous traffic jams, birds on buildings, aircraft in flight, ships, highways, and they could even tell a Chevy from the few Toyota's that were then new to the US. But something they feared a lot was the possibility of our MOL space station being "Armed" with a gun. So on the 2nd "Almaz" they installed a gun to defend their station, but were reluctant to test it while they were still on board due to it's high power ( it was a small artillery cannon)and instead tested it after they'd left for the very last time. --The US improved their surveilance satellites and cancelled their "MOL" station program and the accompaning USAF astronaut training. It's a shame that our ( 15 ?? ) USAF astronauts who trained for the "MOL" space stations never got to space. Then after around 2 years of total service the Soviets cancelled their "ALMAZ" program (1977) ; and shutdown their two stations when they too also improved their satellites. ---The cost of deploying satellites was far less then training space personel, station maintinance, resupply and repair. Thanks; --Tim C

This was well covered in Phillip Clark's book, _"The Soviet Manned Space Programme."_ Every space enthusiast should get themselves a copy. Good video, BTW.

I miss the Space Shuttle. It at least went up at least 5-6 times per year, which was beyond many expectations (I wish they'd stop hyping the '100 launches per year expected' nonsense like they always do. Without that exaggeration/little white lie the STS program would have never stood a chance in hell of going past the planning stages. NASA was on the way to having no manned program from 1975 to at the very least 1995 if the Space Shuttle was decided to not proceed.) Whatever Bezos or Bigelow or Musk come up with in the next 10-15 years will be pathetic in comparison. The only chance we have to have a lunar orbiting station is a NASA/Russia/ESA/Japan combo and the design plan of that 'space station' is going to be similar to a really cramped 1970s Salyut station (one habitable module...maybe one and a half habitable modules for FOUR astronauts/cosmonauts if lucky, similar to a current-day ISS Destiny module plus Harmony module combined together!!!) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Orbital_Platform-Gateway

Europeans do is piggyback on Russian and American spacecraft for both manned and unmanned spaceflight. And the Shuttle is better than anything prior and anything after its retirement (except for the great Apollo program, of course). The reason the Shuttle blew up twice is because the politicians and NASA managers were ordering the Shuttle to go up in cold weather and refused to listen to engineers. The Shuttles amazingly kept surviving launches and it should have been enough for everyone to find out there were huge problems with O-rings and the bipodal foam ramp.

Thank you. I teared up a little. Thanks for not mixing in politics and "bad Russians" meme. Dzhanibekov is pronounced as jah-knee-bEh-kov. Your pronunciation was close though.

To be honest, after learning about how we've been lied to about Ukraine/Crimea, I have a hard time trusting anything played on the news media about Russia these days. Maybe they're the Cold War 2.0 bad guy, or maybe they're just running scared thinking of what stupid shit we'll do thinking they're the bad guys (which actually WOULD be a repeat of the Cold War). I'll hold off judgment until I can verify what's being said.

I keep thinking back to the MAD principle of deterrence. Mutually Assured Destruction. This is what kept both the US and USSR from making a first nuclear strike. Something that a man as shrewd as Putin understands, but which Trump does not. ...Actually, pretty much ANYBODY other than Trump understands that.

The men responsible for these accomplishments were cosmonauts, and scientists, not politicians. Had members of the politboro been shot into space to fix the station we could then talk about politics, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Besides Russia is no worse than the US, both are superpowers with nuclear arsenals, so if they wish to compete for hegemony (and what superpower doesn't?), they really have no choice but to turn to espionage, and underhanded tactics because the only other option is to incite nuclear annihilation. I can't bring myself to see the Russians, or even Putin as "bad" because I completely understand them. Don't get me wrong, he may be a bit on the authoritarian side in terms of Russia's domestic politics, but his moves on the international front make total sense. I may not agree with them, but they aren't driven by some irrational malice or something, they are understandable, so its hard to see him as some evil guy leading a nation of evil people, especially since my on government employs many of, if not all of the same tactics. Personally I don't believe that Russia had any effect on the outcome of the US election, with the possible exception of the fact that most of us Americans have no desire for war with you, so they went for the candidate that claimed he was willing to reassess, and repair our relationship. Russia has been accused of meddling in an election, but its a well known fact that my government has a long history of meddling in other nations elections, so to call the Russians bad is just the pot calling the kettle black. At any rate, its our governments that have issues with each other, not our two peoples. So from one American, I'm genuinely sorry that our government, and our media (its becoming increasingly difficult to tell where one ends, and the other begins... our nations really are more alike than different lol.), have turned you guys into a meme, and tried to convince us to hate you, its pure hypocrisy, and political mudslinging. Some day, perhaps when smaller countries start to get nukes, and deprive our superpowers of places to fight proxy wars, and slug it out over resources, we'll have no choice but to make peace, and start trading, and I look forward to that day. Maybe then I'll be able to find Kvass, and Kholodets in my grocery store, and I won't have to travel to NY where the Russian ex-pats are to get them.

Paul, Thank you once again for another very informative video. Please dont stop.

Keep it up, Droid. You rock, brother. Well researched and interesting to listen to. So glad there is content on youtube like this. My respects, sir.

Amazing story, amashed I havent heard about this before. Thanks Paul.

As always, an amazing video, please continue sharing this marvelous pices of human history. Congratulations Paul!

at 2:42 you mention Progress launching on a Proton rocket but the image shows a Soyuz launch, it's a little confusing.

"they wore winter clothes" - I thought the temperature inside unpowered station would reach -180 C. So what was the temperature inside ?

As always, thanks for this great video

This totally sounds like something from Kerbal Space Program. I would have some problem on a space station I'd made (mostly running out of power) and have to send some Kerbals to go deal with it, including very manual docking. Awesome.

There's a movie about this! Salyut-7!

In Russia a new film was released which is about saljut 7... But I haven't seen it in Europe yet. Even Putin watched it and praised it

I appreciate the high quality work on your videos, as well as the very interesting and to the point commentary. Russian Space Program was/is fascinating, yet so little information is available ... which makes videos and presentations such as this all the more appreciated.

Love your videos. Keep them coming. Thank u

Thanks for this excellent presentation. The Russians/USSR were true pioneers in space exploration, and space stations, now the only way for humans to reach the International space station is via the Soyuz. We await Elon or some other pioneer to enter the arena.

Or we could just deorbit it. It's not like it has made even one single scientific contribution in ten years (and, if you tried to name one, you would have to look it up, and see a bunch of pretty worthless "science").

I am going to guess the actual kosmonaut / astronaut didn't graduate from the Prometheus school so they didn't take off all their clothes and dive into the damaged station.

I really wish the Soviet Union still exist, at least only for the space achievement of it. Huge nations with state-controlled capital surely can do some amazing feats. The thing is, Gorbachev intended to prevent the Soviet Union from collapsing by trying to make an entirely new state, called the Union of Sovereign Soviet Republics, a democratic version of the communist USSR. The plan failed, though, and for a really bad few years people living in ex-Soviet states faces uncertainty, crimes, anarchy, or even civil wars and strives still existing until today. All the political ideologies aside, the collapse of a huge state is surely a disaster for a lot of people, and it is for sure a disaster for space exploration and the future of mankind.

Gorbachev in his country is considered a traitor. He wanted the country to gradually enter the capitalist world while maintaining the social orientation of the country. Gorbachev believed that the USSR would enter the league of the leading Western powers, the so-called golden billion. Being an economically developed country of the 2nd tier, like Germany and France, without claiming to dominate the world. Losing a leading role was the price the country would pay for prosperity and a good life. The leaders of the West supported him in this. Although in reality it was a bluff. The West neither the USSR nor the modern Russia is needed. The main goal was to weaken and rob a competitor. Remove the USSR from the world political arena. They could not go to war, since the USSR has nuclear weapons. But they supported all attempts to disintegrate the state from the inside. The United States perceived this as a victory in the Cold War, and the USSR as an opportunity to become part of the world community. Having removed the USSR, the USA had the opportunity to wage wars in different parts of the world with impunity, and began to rebuild the world at its discretion. In the USSR, there was a lot of refor. For example, borders for western goods were opened, as a result of which the own economy began to fall apart, and the government ceased to support enterprises - putting them into free floating. And enterprises could not stand the competition. Products manufactured in the USSR were destroyed causing an artificial shortage and unrest of the people. The country was ruined by the leadership, because many tried to profit, get rich and leave the country, and the United States supported them in this. The people paid for all this - war, poverty, humiliation. For 10 years the country was at a dead end. And now we are looking at modern Russia, which, realizing its mistakes, is slowly recovering. Therefore, the United States imposes sanctions and in every way threatens Russia, because this country prevents it from doing what it wants.

@@arrant638 Typical crybaby nonsense. The USSR was on a dictatorship on the brink. There was no need to "support" a disintegration from the inside as the USSR was nicely doing that to itself. What you have now is just a bunch of kids who grew up after the fact dreaming about some mythical past where the USSR was "great" and is willing to trade away their freedoms to let putin build it up again. And crying about sanctions and stopping russian from "doing what you want".. you're invading sovereign countries, at what line do you think people should stop you?
