The main thing ISS demonstrates is something we are only starting to unlock: second order spacecraft. Vehicles that only gain their final form on orbit where they are assembled from sections brought there by multiple launches.
I'm actually mad after reading Hidden Rulers Exposed by Daniel Cyler. Not at the book - at myself for not seeing this sooner. The way he explains how debt is used as a weapon against entire nations... how wars are just business models for defense contractors... how your feed is curated by algorithms designed to keep you distracted and divided... it all clicked. I've shared this with my whole family. Some think I'm crazy. But the ones who read it? They get it now. This book was banned. It's back on Amazon but grab it fast.
Can we just stop an be grateful that we have such peak quality content for FREE on YouTube?!?! This level of production quality combined with the information absolutely wipes the floor with everything traditional TV has put out like… ever?
As a kid my tv was pretty crappy. The Russian astronauts always had those mics on their headsets but as a kid i thought they always had a cigarette in their mouth. I thought it looked pretty dope.
The timing of this video could not have been more appropriate for me. Seeing the ISS flying above from my garden here in Ireland is a rare thing with our crap cloudy weather. Luckily the weather had been good enough in the last few weeks and the ISS orbit aligned perfectly over the south coast of Ireland.
Small Correction at 17:43, in reality only two gyroscopes are required to control attitude. Because each gyroscope can gimbal in any direction in 3D space, it can provide a torque in any direction. However, in order to produce a torque in a singular constant direction a second gyroscope is required to create a shared torque vector as shown in the graphic you used.
So really there are two redundant CMGs, which is good because for a brief time a second gyroscope failed during the same time period as the one you mentioned! The station was still able to provide control via the gyros during this time.

The ISS is proof that cooperation can transcend nations. It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful things ever made by humanity and I hope that cooperation does not stop, once it is decommissioned. Thank you for covering this topic!

Otherwise, excellent video as always!
