Sci-Fi or Real Videos from Space?

A video highlighting scenes of real life science fiction. From astronauts running around the Skylab Space Station and using NASA space jetpacks to catch stray satellites, to real sci fi looking images of Saturn’s ring, and images of Ice on Mars.

Showing the history of space exploration, and the science of science fiction.

Other topics covered in this video include:
• Soyuz launches to the ISS as seen from the space station
• A history of the Skylab Space Station
• How the Rosetta space craft and Philae lander landed on a comet
• The first planetary asteroid defence test (DART)

• The Global Seed vault, and the terminator gene
• Desert solar towers and how they work
• Scenes from SpaceX (the launch of Intelsat's Galaxy Satellites seen from the drone ship, Falcon Heavy’s double booster landing, the 150-meter Starhopper test, construction of the Starship, and the Starship SN10 test landing)
• Images from Mars (an ancient river bed in Mawrth Vallis, a Martian avalanche, the floor of the Gale Crater, and sand ripples and a dune at the Martian Proctor Crater)
• Ice on Mars
• Olympus Mons and how it could still be active today
• The landing of the Mars Perseverance rover, and how it landed itself
• The MMU, the Manned Maneuvering Unit, a jetpack for space
• The construction of the International Space Station (ISS)
