The hostility in the comments comes from people who have experienced in their own lives and the lives of their loved ones the ugly reality hidden behind the nice words. These programs always end up discriminating against men of all races, against white people, against Asian minorities, against Jewish folks... Talented men are skipped over in promotions in favor of underqualified diversity hires chosen purely because of their gender. Good engineers are pushed to quit. It's a hateful ideology hiding under a smiling face. And tech companies and universities are starting to get sued for it. Shame that Axiom didn't get the memo yet.

Thumbs Down. The purpose here is not to discriminate at all- but to encourage young women to enter the space engineering field, which, to this day, they tend to do in relatively low numbers compared to men. Turn. Off. The. Fox.- Dave Huntsman

Many of the people who could possibly turn out to be the best for the job are reluctant to apply because of the hostility from insecure fragile men. It's the same old story.

@@althepalno1164 I've worked in technical fields for my entire life, and I've never seen anything other than a warm welcoming environment for me and all my female colleagues. I've seen instead thousands of times an extremely toxic attitude from women and overt hostility against men. You just proved me right by insulting men in these workplaces as "fragile". The real sexism, the real racism come from DEI and similar programs. Shame

@@ChilapaOfTheAmazons Wow, that’s not true. As a male supervisor in NASA, I’ve had to deal with problem employees; who, for example…the conservative “Christian” employee who refused to take orders from his female supervisor solely because she was a woman, because….the Bible told him he didn’t have to. She (as the supervisor) had to bring the problem to me, the Division Chief. And there were others. Your statement about DEI is nonsense. - Dave Huntsman

Thumbs Down. This video is all about encouraging young women to enter the space technical field- which, to this day, they tend not to do in as great a numbers as young men. That is not a ‘bad idea’, as you would have it; but a Good Idea. Turn. Off. The. Fox. - Dave Huntsman

@@dphuntsman IBM started going down the same sexist path a few years ago and now they are being sued by the state of Missouri for discriminating against white men. Axiom seems intent on following their footsteps. If you struggle to see why discrimination based on immutable characteristics is always bad, try replacing "women" with "men" or "white" with "black".

De-balled by the current communist regime.

Probably using Starlink™ for tracking and data relay

Falcon 9

This early into Starships development? We don't know what the final versions of the Starship booster will be. How do you develop for a booster that is still in development itself?

@@MichaelWalker-wu2pq Hinging a companies future on soon-obsolete dimensions and specs is certainly not how one would do this. Talking to SX and having this ready when they are ready is the only way to be able to keep up with SX. Waiting on them to mature starship and THEN beginning to design cargo for it won't work.. as they'll be working on spacestation-like modules themselves (see HLS, see whatever is needed to get humans to Mars). Case-in-Point - the starship capable starlink sats ARE READY NOW.

@@MichaelWalker-wu2pq SX has sats for their new ship ready now. And by the time Axiom is ready SX will have to have created HLS and something tangible & believable for housing humans for a couple weeks/months on their way to Mars, meaning they will be able to do what Axiom tries to offer.. same case as with OneWeb.

Because Thales Alenia is the absolute gold standard when it comes to building space stations. The build for ISS, are building for Axiom and also for the lunar gateway

That would be inherently dangerous. If it were ever completed at all. US companies are good at when NASA throws out the unlimited tax dollars. You can't expect a commercial company to pay like that. 🚀🏴‍☠️🎸

The contract is too small. Boeing doesn't bid on fixed price contracts like this anymore. Thales on the other hand has no other work so they likely agreed to build this prototype on a shoe string budget and with no money up front.

What if I told you that other places exist and they might do stuff better than in the US?

Would you want to be in space on a Boeing built station ? No thanks, I'd rather have a reliable module made in Europe. The EU has basically the best quality control culture, even if it does drive up cost.

Starship, of course.

Falcon 9

I guess it will depend on the offers and the market. They could go with any big rocket, FH, Starship if ready, Ariane 6, etc

It is currently unknown, however given the size of space station modules I would assume Falcon Heavy or Vulcan for early launches and Starship for later launches

I bet every confined space feels significantly larger in zero gravity than down here on earth

For larger modules, you'll have to wait until Sierra Space launches their LIFE habitat units.
