The 'Escape Pods' That NASA Developed, But Never Used.

Scott Manley is someone who fell into YouTube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching. I used to do this as a hobby, along with my day job in software development, but that recently came to an end and I'm really appreciating everyone who has chosen to support my work through Patreon.

Video Description
Crew safety has always been a core part of space engineering, and yet there has never really been a 'lifeboat' or 'escape pod' system deployed on orbit, but it's not for a lack of ideas or even engineering. There were ideas developed and built out to support Space Stations being ferried by the Space Shuttle, but ultimately the solution which was built, the X-38, was cancelled in 2002 and the space station has never had a dedicated escape system.
