Deaths in Space and Orbital Rescue

Lessons from Salyut 1 to Starliner: The Danger of Ignoring Risks
We start off with a lesson in basic rocket science with an in depth analysis of the Proton rocket system, that launched the first probes to the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and the only three humans to die in space. Then we review where we are with Starliner, and how the problem is not the helium leaks or the thruster failures per se. But the continued cascade of failures that makes us ask the question... Will the next failure kill the crew? Or even endanger the entire International Space Station? In a worst case scenario, could we rescue the crew of a small station like the Tiangong? Much less the nine people on the ISS right now? How long does it take to get something into orbit? And what's so important about orbital inclination? Join us for this and more, at the Terran Space Academy.
