In December 2019, the United States established its new space force: the United States Space Force. A logical step in a globalized and digitized world whose infrastructure depends on satellites in space. This infrastructure is under threat. Also by a resurgence of conflict between East and West. This episode of Spacetime describes how the military conquered space and why the world is in a new arms race in Earth orbit.

An excellent space history from an international perspective. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an understanding of why Space Force and where we are today & how we got here.
every person living on Earth should know and understand what is flying over our heads... This is approximately 17,000 mph (27,359 kph) at an altitude of 150 miles (242 kilometers).
Or a portion thereof. 😊
Just one problem, I'm more advanced than they are.
And unfortunately, a nice way to come to realize how fucking stupid is humankind. It's not enough for it to pollute the planet with all its shit, they even found a way to pollute space and the other planets around us. Just the thought of it brings me back to my suicidal tendencies. Such a tiny planet, a speck in the whole univers and its many countries can't even get along....what a shame if you ask me

Finally a new space time episode!

36:38 Early U.S. recon satellites did have, along with the film capsules, radio telemetered visual data, although at a much lower resolution. Light from a camera lens was scanned, encoded, and "written" onto a [very] large roll of film. Then the light image on the film was scanned and detected, as the signal to control the radio transmission. I'm pretty sure that system was largely designed by Polaroid, with Dr. Land having a significant hand in the engineering. From Secret Sentries in Space, by Phillip Klass, which is a great Spy Satellite 101 primer.
Please do another I've been waiting patiently for months!
Decades later it still a very interesting craft and documentary 👍.
Amazing 🤩
Im glad i watched this, its good input.
Space docmentary on Christmas. My kind of channel.
Me too
I’m happy to announce: The Age of Space Colonization has arrived
@S. M. I think that time has been here. I believe people have been on the moon for decades... maybe not but maybe! I believe things are way more advanced than anyone knows.
The debris in orbit reminds me of a camp with no trash can 🤔👍🪘
Lmfao you really think the debits is as large as a stupid model , it’s hardly noticeable
You mean like the pile of trash the US government left in Greenland? And most other countries that they occupied not to say they are the only ones but if you care about a planet you don't trash your neighbor's yard either
Australia is the only country trying to clean up the crap in space yet we don't even have a space agency.
Humans are like “Pig Pen”; where ever we go, our trash follows us.
George M Schultz “Peanuts” comic❤
This episode is super great. Love this
Well made video. Supposedly, no one is putting nuclear weapons on satellites but I'd bet some are.
That's not even necessary now with 5G in effect which was created Weapon by Nikola Tesla for the US government before they started claiming he was a lunatic because he didn't want it to be used as a weapon. He was crazy because he wanted to help Humanity they couldn't have that.
Só o raio leizer, gama, ou fogo podem chegar a atmosfera, sem desintegrar. Mas a spce force são satélites equipapos, e integrado em inteligência Artificial e GPS. Controlando comércio, e fazendo guerra.
Ther are already nuclear reactors orbiting that are on their way back down
you don't need nuclear weapons you can drop an inert metal rod from space and it's more powerful than the nukes dropped on japan in WWII so it can seem innocent but russia's nesting doll satellites were probably hiding these
For sure there are I mean if you was a major government wouldn't you?
Many thanks for this documentary 👍
Can we imagine if we all worked together as a team?
As long as Humanity continues suffer from unrestrained greed, addictions of all sorts and a growing ignorance we are most certainly doomed to end it all in their name
Yes i can see it now. A politician, 2 Republicans, 2 democrats 0 results
Enough people haven't died for that
Humans have to die,and remake them over from scratch,in order to do it right.
@@steveleach4973 You forgot the Autocratic Dictators whose greed is making us closer to ww3. China will try controlling space if can. Just look at South China Sea and can tell it will happen. They will say we were here first so is all ours.
Amazing Documentary 👍.
A EXCELLENT show explaining how space is been used by both military and cavillian power to control the world.
X37B Sounds far more ominous when spoken in German. Hell, "Bread and butter" sounds more ominous in German.
Try "Nazis" 🤣🤣
Most things do. And just when their application to rejoin the human race is before the UN.
That militarization of space is a very slippery slope. Military shenanigan's in LEO will not end well regardless of the country (s) involved.
None of it is going to end well.
So very true... I worry for our children...
@@sabre22bCan you tell me why?
You ask what could generate a Lazer in space? The Space Station here in Australia we have seen it grow and grow till it's the brightest object in the sky especially in the bush. It's massive!
thanks for your precious info....
All these countries underestimate us if you're seeing this stuff we are 50 years ahead of it we have some things out there today but no one knows about
@@jostinocarale7853 i do agree👍
Thursday December 29, 2022,Good Afternoon and Season's Greetings everyone, I enjoyed watching this KZhead video. I found the video very interesting and insightful. I wish I could be a member of a space program, perhaps an organization such as the United States Space Force, however I would not be able to join the USSF because I am too old and do not have U.S.A. citizenship. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to everyone, Alister Ian Hoult, Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.
Allister Hoult"" You seem like a genuine person" I don't know about being to old but I do hope you get your citizenship because we in America need good folks here and you seem to be just that"" happy New Year and never stop believing in yourself"" I believe good things happen to good people!! I would love to go to Canada and see how beautiful that Country really is.....

Alister Hoult, are you a robot?
@@thomasdatrain4391 Good Afternoon Everyone, To answer your question I am not a robot. I am a real person who lives at Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada.
MY COMMENTS ARE BEING GHOSTED. SO IVE CHANGED AFEW THINGS. SEARCH MY INFO THE TR3-B IS MANMADE. REF EDGAR FOUCHE. THEY ARE SO FAR AHEAD WITH TECH THEY TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE .THE SECRET SPACE PROGRAM. TESLA MEDBEDS THAT CAN CURE.HEAL. YES JOHN LEAR KNEW THE TRUTH... RIP. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE PENTAGON TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THEY LOST TRILLIONS OF TAX-PAYERS MONEY THEY SAY ... WENT MISSING!!!
Am so fascinated with anything space hoping one day I will see spacecraft.
I knew it that the Air Force Space Command is now the Space Force!
Money is no object, we can just borrow it from China!!
Very interesting
Can you imagine everything else they’re doing?
It is my impression that the space force are of all nations working together now witch is a good thing I think .
Anything with Ulrich Walter is legendary…he is legendary…..go get em Ulrich you dirty boy
Imagine how much money the military spends on experimental projects that ultimately just get canceled?
Yes, but if not tried you wouldn't know. Look at NASA ( PRIOR TO OBAMA DISTROYING IT) With you and I benefited with microwaves, polymers, cell phones, everything digital, just to mention a few!
I like the kinetic weapons! No explosives just basically steel telephone poles being dropped over a target and hit with the force of a nuclear weapon! Purely kinetic energy!
Project Thor. It’s not as practical as it first seems because there just isn’t enough kinetic energy for the cost and you can’t target anything in a useful amount of time as it is just to hard to change the trajectory of the orbit.
@@greghight9545 points. Perhaps there may be a solution or development? Thoughts?
@@sabre22b rocket propelled from a launch platform at a LaGrange point.
I myself would prefer the LASER options, they just burn a hole through the target rendering it inoperable with little or no debris.
@@garyedwards278 sounds great except we don’t have the technology yet that can do a sustained burn. Most high power lasers burn themselves out if used more than a few seconds and they just don’t work like in the movies. Could work on a vehicle or building but not something like a bunker that is buried deep.
The buildings under ground Arlington Va. are shelfs for water intake at ground levels on up to street levels above ground.
Why? Do we kill each other? Why?
There's extreme people that aren't bound by morality. They will use force to take what they want from you, they will hurt you for whatever reason. This is why there's a saying " if you want peace you have to be ready for war " there will always be wars and fights as long as we all have free will
@@Music-xb3ny it's sad it has to be this way.
For money
We are apex predators. If humans didn’t have a warring instinct, we would still be in the Stone Age. Every inch of this planet has had blood spilled for it. Peace and civility are a thin veneer that quickly disappears when our primal instincts kick in. Every intelligent species on the planet has a dark violent side and we are no different. If aliens ever visit us, they will have a history of warfare as well.
It is it long embeded to humans.... Power, greed, money! They want us to divide and don't know anything just a sleeping sheep
Thank you . ( 2022 / Dec / 28 )
He said it was a pipe dream in the 80’s, what a wit- Reagan would’ve never said that if America wasn’t capable, He knew what we didn’t.!! I’m a firm believer we have the Tech
Thanks for the Christmas present!
Cool. VERY SMART MOVE by India who chose to test their Satellite Destruction at a Low altitude so that the debris left behind burned up upon re-entry. 👍🏻
Though I thoroughly enjoyed this video, the real and profound danger of 'space junk' was not given enough emphasis. I believe that the History Channel or SciFi did an entire episode on the topic. It is mathematically inevitable that there will be so much debris that it will be impossible to maintain satellites in orbit... which is, umm, HUGE. And the effort required to clean it up is either ENOROMOUSLY EXPENSIVE or physically/technologically impossible. Bad news for future generations.
Future generations will develop force fields or such to traverse through debris clusters. You just haven't watched enough scifi movies, obviously.
@@rogerbritus9378 U Qanon, lol. Enough said.
Agreed, this is an ever increasing threat to use of near-space vehicles. Several organizations are attempting to create a sane 'trash-collection' strategy and the (probable vehicles) that will accomplish this. But the problem is - as always - very difficult. And so little real progress has been made at this time. I think it is because no-one-oligarch wants to focus on this. Maybe Elon Musk will get a bee in his bonnet about it, and try to do something constructive with his team of brilliant engineers.
We could end up being trapped by our own space junk!! It’s much thicker than you might think!!
I disagree. We already have technology capable of either destroying or de-orbiting space junk to burn up on re-entry. I'm not convinced of it's huge danger, if we can so accurately track even some of the smallest pieces of debris. It has recently been proven that it is easier to alter the trajectory of space-borne objects, than we even imagined, with the recent deliberate satelite-meteor collision. It's a matter of priority though, I agree
Way out of my category but very important
A new way to describe the orbiting debris..."cascade"! 😲 10:40
Igneous fiery meteorite phenomenons the current ones ; starlink and satellites babe lies greatly
ty
It's going to be a reality sooner than you think
It's already been a reality over fifty years ago read the book 📖 pale grey horse
In the 80s and 90s you could get raw nasa shuttle video on sat dish. A guy even had all the tapes on cable tv.
The only time something becomes a weapon is when you use it if you have it and don’t use it it’s a deterrent to being attacked
I agree with comments made regarding this excellent documentary. The establishment of a 6th Branch of Armed Services for The US was definitely a necessary step. Space is no longer a benign environment - it is slowly by surely becoming a contested arena. Currently - there’s a great deal of junk in orbit - debris from satellite launches, booster separations, etc. This is becoming a problem. One Space Shuttle Window was slightly damaged when was impacted by a paint chip - traveling at 17,000 + MPH. Debris is not the only issue at stake. What if a rogue state decides to launch (a) satellite(s) designed to contaminate specific orbits used by commercial and/ or military satellites? Given the unpredictable nature of leaders such Kim Jong Un of North Korea 🇰🇵, such an action isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Space is being made into a another place for human s*itf*ckery. Maybe humans should stay out of space until they can do something useful like working together. But y'all are probably too st*pid....
Shooting Stars!!
I'll be here !!!
The Fraunhofer Institute is also responsible for giving us the MP3 format.
A couple years ago, I watched a video similar to this, but it was in English. It talked about the number of working satellites and their uses. Then it revealed the thousands of space trash and hundreds of defunct satellites ruined by space trash and collisions with other satellites. What a mess! This video revealed just how bad it is as well as the speed it's all circulating around the Earth. Scary. How does anyone safely get their satellite in orbit?
Mankind at his best warfare man can we REALLY make it through .
A WAR BRINGS OUT THE WORST and the BEST ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!WAR IS NEVER GOOD!!!!!!!!! IT,S THE HARD WAY!!!!!!
Many will
Nope. There may be survivors who enjoy no sun, no crops, no unpolluted water, radioactive jellyfish babies. We are fkd.
Great question ⁉️
Aruba,Jamaica ooo I wanna take ya, Bermuda,Bahama come on pretty mama.
Methinks “we” like it, to wit: crime, murder, war, fictional movies depicting same. “We” obviously like it. Very Entertaining!
This has to be the Kurzgesagt narrator!
Thinking maybe you want to look at it from a different direction; A means by which instead of evading and monitoring you search and collect there by clearing the sace and fixing the problem not repeating it over and over again
they are testing manufacturing in space, mostly lens's for spy sats also testing power sources and new eletric propulsion
Oh my good friends
Damn. That Kurzgesagt voice actor is bringing home the bacon.
Multiple Space stations should begin to Launch to research effects on Gravity & Radiation in different Orbits
Plastic in the ocean is a good example of what space is going to be like
Perfectly blended truths with little lies. Hey I get it.... If I were in charge if Space Force... I'd also be fabricating stories.
We should solve our problems on earth 🌎 before going into space for exploration instead of war!
I was Blessed to be born in 1955 - My Father was in the Air Force - My Mother was the Generals Secretary. Conversations at the Dinner Table were Interesting to Say the Least.
The space forces should be used for cleaning up the orbits around the earth.
With that Black Ops Technology that's 200 yrs ahead of Present Technology they sure could clean up the Space Junk for starters!
I believe we are tera forming in space
I like the federation of planets insignia
We are already in space
At 7:11, that's Groom Lake aka Area 51.
Look everything has time It takes a time to go from the Bay area to the Mountains That also is time away
We are able to use those systems now, because Ragan 😊started paying for it and focusing on an idea back then. That's not a foolish idea.
Satellites comms mostly unprotected. Where the crypto satellites at? Also couldnt you track the test vehicle in space with just normal telescopes? You can see cube sats fairly easily afterall.

Precious minerals found on planets and asteroids and meteors. Space race is born and militarized!
35:02 WHAT THE EVERLASTING FFFFFFFFF?!?!?!?
What is that song called at the start, also new here good stuff from what ive watched thus far.
Now realizing that during those nuclear drills as a child was accompanied people in old Russia doing the very same drills, so many people on edge, all at the same time, so sad!
So what are we doing about hypersonic missiles coming in
It was founded as ARPA, not DARPA .....
I can't wait...
the modern countries that understood the space debries should understand any countries that is emerging to be technological advancement will put any danger aside and test their tech to see if it works. this should be undestandable. for example, if a new country that are able to produce and join the nuclear power they will test their bomb to ensured they have experience and know that it works. no matter how you condemned them even if they are allies they will test it. there's always a bee that will try to be the queen no matter if they were part of the strongest bee hive.
Happy 3rd Birthday Space Force
We need a giant vacuum system in space to clean up the debris. And whoever makes the Mess gets to pick it up.
Isn't space already pretty much a vacuum?😆🤣😉
It was a terrible lack of vision that JFK didn't intend to build a permanent lunar base than just having astronauts visit and walk on the moon for a few hours. I mean, had it been part of the original space race plan, then the space industry would be much more advanced today with (probably) frequent trips to Mars with a permanent colony and base operating on Mars. Similarly Elon Musk doesn't have a greater vision than colonising the red planet, when he should be thinking about Mars as a launchpad to venture into very deep space and possible generational ships to colonise distant Earth-like planets in other solar systems.
demand all this year living in dead my eye most power
Can a satellite weapon use weather as a weapon?
We should be producing energy from space
History indicates the ones start the wars are the losers at the end, and the ones answer to fight the advesary are victorious.
Who sings the intro music ?
Chuck Jaeger still first after 60 years ? ? ? IONIZE ATMOSFERE AROUND SHIP AND MOVE PLASMA WITH MAGNETIC FIELDS: 1. Engine is not on board. 2. Cx - air drag - becomes The Engine surrounding ship with a glow - how mysterious....
We need a Raptor engine in our new Missile that goes hypersonic missile intercontinental ballistic missiles in one piece mix things up
24:36 Carbon dioxide lasers are real and powerful enough now.
We sure need sweepers to remove useless objects in orbit to clean the flight lanes
Hard to sweep objects moving in all directions at 14 thousand mph.
It looks like a little space shuttle in the series Buck Rogers that I think was on in the seventies and eighties on television LOL
2:16 ! 3:11 4:30-5:36 6:00 alemán 6:50
The problem with the space program is limited to the present knowledge at, and the results of the hazards associated with it is still not perceived. Considering this year incident with the Chinese space craft. Too much speculation as in which continent would the wrecked will fall in. To called the attention of the advance countries to put the bio hazards associated with their programming into focus with all available resources at hand. By Nura KC Nigeria 🇳🇬
Good job humans, we've already trashed space 🤦♂️
Well, we ruin everything we touch, so. 🤷🏻
Humanity is infected with a curse from the beginning of our time and it is the weakness of mankind Humanity it is the human emotions that make people what we are
European Space entities both government and commercial are developing space debris cleanup systems unlike the messy world powers. However these "clean up" satellites could be utilized to knock out satellites as well. The sword has two edges ;)
There are a few U.S companies developing something similar.
You can be sure the primary reason for financing these satellites is for your second point, any space debris is mainly to placate tax payers.
Nothing government doesn't for mankind is for mankind. It is done to. Not for.
There are private Japanese space companies trying to develop space debris tech
Why does the spoken audio not match the speaker's mouth movements????
I believe the X37b, once in orbit, and has no atmosphere to deal with; We can expect an undistorted high intensity laser..It would also benefit from a solar array for its power..If it didnt use one, the craft, would not have enough power for autonomy..Its clear, that its powerbank could not power it, or its laser weaponry for 2 years. Lasers today are beyond Mega-watt...Sadly, even from space, its worthless, to hit ground targets due to atmospheric distortion..
Space force 2/16/23 What to do about space junk is to see the value of it. And build a collection port at a well chosen spot on the moon, And neatly grid and catalog it in that place. So when we do build our space. City on the moon there will be a host of material to reuse.the net.could be worth trillions. And it would clean up space.
