00:09After several accidents, NASA retired its entire fleet of space shuttles.
00:15in 2011. Since then, the Soyuz are the only ones
00:21spacecraft available to carry crew members to the International Space Station, considered
00:29as one of the greatest engineering achievements. The International Space Station
00:34It is an orbiting laboratory where astronauts from 5 different agencies come and go.
00:41spacecraft at an altitude of 400 kilometers and orbiting at more than 27,000 kilometers per hour.
01:15These crew members have already completed their mission and are preparing to return home.
01:22But first, there is a terrifying experience that everyone who goes to space must have.
01:27Experience. Re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. If you've ever wondered, what do astronauts see?
01:35From the windows at the critical moment of re-entry? Observe.
01:51With a temperature of 1650 degrees Celsius and falling at 25 times the speed of sound,
01:59The video shows the harrowing moment when the Soyuz's heat shield withstands
02:05the friction of atmospheric gases dissipates the scorching heat, keeping it safe
02:12to the crew.
02:32With a reliability level of 97.5% and more than 1,700 successful launches, the legendary
02:42Soyuz is the safest and most successful spacecraft in history.
02:49However, Russia's current hegemony in space transport could change very soon with the first
02:56Launch of the Cube Dragon manned spacecraft by the private aerospace company Space Egg.
03:04Will NASA ever be able to launch its astronauts into space from American soil again?
03:11What do you think?
