World's First Commercial Space Station Design and Testing Questions Answered | LIFE Habitat Tech

I haven't been this excited about commercial space since the early days of SpaceX and the Falcon 1 and early Falcon 9s. DreamChaser and LIFE habitat tech is a big game changer for LEO. You folks need to build a gas station in LEO.

Looking forward to the decade guys. Get that first module up there and show them all what you can do 👍😁

Makes me wonder if Blue Origin is still all in on the Orbital Reef project. Also, can't wait to see what could be done with a Starship sized LIFE module.

You (non-gender specific lol) guys are just fantastic. When you were Sierra Nevada and working with Bigelow on BEAM and with a crewed version of Dreamchaser, I was absolutely certain that this was it. The real beginning. I'm sure your teams were as devastated, if not more devastated, as me when it all seemed to crumble and turn to dust. NOT....ANY .....MORE!! This is it! BUCKLE UP, PEOPLE. Holy Moly I was already SO excited before this vid, now even more so. I'm absolutely exploding with it and can't wait to see the beastie fly and for the first LIFE habitat to be deployed in orbit. OK, breathe now boy...breeeeathe 🙃

Some information about the Space Turtles. In the Discworld books written by Terry Pratchett, the world rests on the backs of four giant elephants. These elephants stand on the back of The Great A'Tuin, an even more giant turtle. It is theorized that there are many more such turtle worlds moving through the galaxy, and they are all going to meet up in the future for their mating season. This is known as the Big Bang Theory. 🤣

Thanks for the video!

This will be a big step for humans in space

Amazing job, Well done. it's good to have some fun in science. :D

Would you consider r/d of an earthbound habitat? Something capable of opening after inflation for survivors? There is an upcoming cyclical disaster our planet cannot avoid nor deflect and having modules like this could save a lot of humans, such as yourselves, which would be exceptionally fabulous ( I most likely won't survive,) knowing great minds like yours will re-populate the planet. I am so impressed with everything I've seen so far. Please keep up the good work and know you have all my best wishes. Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you and God bless.

They should’ve answered the first question with dumb looks. “What, space debris? Never heard of that!” 😂

Is there a case for making inflatable life rafts for rigid space stations or a moon base, for instance?

In terms of liftime testing it will be fatigure. For metals this is deadly but for soft materials there would be a machanism for tears in the material to propagate. These tears only get into the material due to manufacturing isses or during handeling or transportation or unless it is slashed on purpose. In either case one must test by injecting small tears in the material and seeing how it performs over time as the presure inside the hab varies with time. This pressure variation - which will be small- will stress these small tears to cause failures over time.

Can a module be built so that it creates a habitat in a Luna Crater? Bit like an inflatable sports dome. I guess it could be an ice hockey rink. It is cold on the Moon.

So, what if you fire a .50 cal to it? Will it survive and wint puncture? Theres space debris that travels faster than such bullet.

Hello

man this is going to be an interesting next couple of years, I really should put a few $$ in those systems they're the most promising space asset ever

😂😂
