What If Russia Crashed the International Space Station?
What If Russia Crashed the International Space Station?
It’s not outside the realm of possibility. Russia has already tested an anti-satellite missile on one of its own satellites, threatening the safety of International Space Station crew members. If Russia crashed the ISS, what would it mean for international relations and space exploration?

#WhatIf #ISS #SpaceExploration
Nothing it would burn up and fall as fragments
This is where I will look upon Elon musk’s space x for salvation
Damn
This is propaganda. It would burn up on the atmosphere. In fact it was built to just to that.
The ISS is at its lifetime. It has lasted ten years longer than it was originally intended.
If you’ve been paying attention to the ISS you already know it’s due to fall in 2031. That’s always been the plan.
That’s why you’ve seen things about a new one. It was never meant to live this long.
I don’t think it would be a big deal because I don’t think nobody’s up there I think it’s all filmed on green screen and on Earth and that thing just floating up there like a satellite it’s the world’s biggest lie
I learn how to make a clothes disappear so how about what if clothes disappear
This channel is crazy amazing
If it would hit yellowstone ? Daaaaaaamn
Can’t give Russia ideas if there is no Russia.
The scientific inaccuracies in this video, specifically near the end, are egregiously and insultingly wrong. You’re ‘educating’ hundreds of thousands of people on a scenario of an impact that is just not accurate. It doesn’t take into consideration half of the variables of atmospheric entry and assumes way too much. The result in which you describe is just simply not accurate.
Every country should be team to destroy russia
They ever even attempt this and they will be met with far worse this isn’t a tough guy game that is always what dummy’s do to rely on that to win or be full of themselves no weapons and use of military to destroy is no joke from anyone and is a serious threat to survival and future generations well bing if we survive. Our kids would have to deal with our slop and would hate us for it and have all kinds of unacceptable illness and hardships.
Интересно
Really love your videos, but I see this so antirussian política video, sorry but disslike from me
Always anjoy your others videos
Not this tho
How about we just nuke Russia before they even get the chance to pull this off
What if Russian left UKraine . I like that documentary more
U have to give credit for aleksey_n for the first clip that attract your millions of viewers
What if….
Liberals quit spreading fake news….
A) We could live life normally in our own hemisphere.
B) We would be 50,000,000,000$$ richer for our own neck of the woods for our own infrastructure.
C) We would realize that enough Americans have died trying to save Europe back in the 20th century….
Long Live Republicans
PPPAAAYYYssS

The International Space Station (ISS) is a collaborative effort involving multiple countries, including Russia, and is operated by NASA and Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. The ISS is a valuable resource for scientific research and international cooperation in space.
If Russia were to intentionally crash the ISS, it would likely cause significant damage to the station and put the lives of the crew on board at risk. It would also likely result in a major diplomatic incident between Russia and the other countries involved in the ISS program. The incident would also have a significant impact on space exploration and scientific research, as the ISS is an important platform for studying the effects of long-term spaceflight on the human body, as well as for conducting research in fields such as physics, biology, and Earth science.
It’s important to note that such an event is highly unlikely, as the ISS is a symbol of international cooperation and peaceful collaboration, and any actions that might put the station and its crew at risk would be strongly discouraged by the international community.
Russia is doing good I think in these days
But Russia is Part of it Right?
The focus of many people in the unlikely event of a nuclear war is the initial blast, which could cause mass casualties and unimaginable devastation. When the U.S. detonated nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 77 years ago, it leveled the cities and killed more than 100,000 to 200,000 people from the blasts or radiation sickness.
But according to scientists, the horrors of a nuclear war could affect the whole planet.
Clearly, one or two nuclear impacts would not have global effects but the impact of 100 weapons the size of the one that fell on Hiroshima would lower temperatures around the world to below those of the little ice age that occurred from roughly 1,300 to 1,850. That would result in crop failures and famine on a large scale. Here are the large scale impacts
1. Five megatons of soot and ash would fill the sky, bringing about a nuclear winter.
2. After one year, the average temperature of Earth would fall by about 2 degrees. After five years, the earth would be three degrees cooler than before. Twenty years down the road, it would warm up to one degree below where it was before the nuclear event.
3. That might sound beneficial, given all the talk about global warming today, but lower temperatures means less rain. Five years after the detonation, rainfall would be at 91% of current levels. After 26 years, we would still see 4.5% less rain than we did before the war. And the reduced rainfall would bring about global drought conditions.
4. Depending on the region, growing seasons for crops would be 10 to 40 days shorter, resulting in widespread famine.
5. The ozone layer would diminish due to the radiation, ultimately becoming as much as 25% thinner for the first five years after the event. After 10 years, there would be some recovery, but it would still be 8% thinner. This would result in a rise in skin cancer and sunburns. And the increased ultraviolet rays would put plant and animal life that survived the initial blast at risk.
It wouldn’t necessarily take 100 missiles for those theories to be tested, either. The United States’ modern B83 bombs are 80 times more powerful than the weapon it hit Hiroshima. Russia has tested weapons that are even more powerful.
Scientists warn that ripple effects of a nuclear war could be devastating for everyone on Earth. The combined cooling and enhanced UV would put significant pressures on global food supplies and could trigger a global nuclear famine.
Well since Russia made a tweet about it. Everyone who made the ISS would be able to stop it. They could make the Russians leave it and keep them out of space. They say they need Russia but we know they don’t. There are people who watch to make sure Russia doesn’t play dirty and have been since the cold war. The world isn’t dumb
And what is the worst thing other country could do?
Amazing Video! I love your videos, your videos are so informative. Thanks
that’s why we call it entertainment
im not sure whats happening so im just gonna report what if
The space station would mostly burn up on reentry..
Russia can’t crash the ISS if the ISS is nonexistent.
The ISS can’t be crashed by Russia if Russia doesn’t exist.
universe
I mean why always Russia?
70% would survive reentry this could be a false flag operation remember 911 they could use the space station to start World war 111
I. M really hoping that they would let people Clare out first and I would think it would break apart first so it wouldn’t be that dramatic.
USA dirty Propaganda to provoke a world war 3
I like your videos. Your videos will surely grasp our thoughts. I watched nearly 15-30 videos per day. We can surely say your videos are a bit addictive to our toughts.
it passes above romania 🙂
That will happen
The ISS does not have the necessary mass nor velocity to cause a crater that size. Do better research, What If.
Also the clip he put in this video is the movie”Knowing” 2009 great movie should check it out
Would the USA call Space Force?
Russia would kill its own astronauts like that lol, AND russia built a part of iss and spent money on it
I’ll won’t russia touch the iss one bit.
why India
Putin:I did not think of this until now
If they do, it’ll mean war, plain and simple. If they do go through with it, I hope the US and NATO retaliate by shooting down each and every single Russian satellite regardless of if there are people on board or not.
