Lost in Space: Fallout's Hidden Stories of Pre-War Space Exploration

[@Steel-101]

You know it’s kind of bizarre. Only 2 people in the Fallout apocalypse have been in space(still alive): Sophia Daguerre & the Lone Wanderer(mainly talking about people who’ve gotten into a suit and walked out there). Mothership zeta is awesome. Going out in space and fighting aliens is completely amazing(firing the spaceship laser was the cherry on top for me). Sophia has a cool story but the repetitive quests were dull. It would’ve been fun to actually go out in space and rescue her. I hope we get more space content in the next Fallout.

[@Coolturtledudehellyeah]

Chances are next time we get a fallout game, humans will be back on the moon.

[@R-YR29]

​@theturtlemanrocks just the moon?

[@ghguyrur7]

What about the cowboy, samurai, and medic? They’re alive, they just want to chill up on the station (The dlc can be ended with out their survival so I get where you’re coming from canonically)

[@Steel-101]

@@ghguyrur7 Good point but I’m talking about people who’ve gotten into a space suit and walked out in space. My bad, I should’ve been a bit more specific with my comment

Two of my favourite things. Very honourable mentions; •Vault-Tec: Among The Stars. •Enclave, planned new society governed with ‘guidance’ from the results of the Vault-Tec experiments. •Repconn & Jason Bright. •Dick and Dara Hubbell. •Sea Of Tranquility Conflict. •Mr House's colonisation plan. •Plasma weaponry's origin. Honourable mention; •Captain Cosmo themed real space gear to inspire public interest in space, in the hopes of more funding. •Deep Space power armour, at time of writing is a datamined Atomic Shop power armour and has a USSA logo which looks like the Starfield logo, maybe to come out closer to the game. Please let me know if this helps you make a part two, giving people a space themed fix approaching Starfield. Barely honourable mention; •The Outer World's also by Obsidian resembles a society well into Mr House's colonisation plan, the Enclave stealing the skip drive from Mr House and using it as leverage over him to become the Earth Directorate and governing the colonies. This strongarmed partnership between Enclave/Vault-Tec and Mr House accelerating his plans by 26 years and then complications from the quote ‘Great War’ (BOS & other Wasteland factions?) causes Earth to lose contact with the colonies and ships. I could go on but this connection is spiritual at best and unless a TOW2 and/or FNV2 sets this up or establishes it as a parallel universe since Microsoft owns all parties involved at this point. •Which wouldn't be new since some version of Vault-Tec made doors in the Doom universe.

nice

[@Nuniixo]

the entire bit of the outer worlds REALLY does not work as a fallout game it technically could if Fallout went the Warhammer way and have like two main time periods, the far future and the post apocalyptic past, but that is still pretty silly to think about in context of fallout

[@ImmortalAbsol]

@@Nuniixo lots of games have deliberate spiritual connections, even of other companies IPs so the Obsidian connection already makes it more plausible in that sense than other confirmed instances. Is it ‘silly’? Yes. But I'm not claiming it's anything more than that even if it's correct. That's all a spiritual connection is, good natured unofficial fun, just Easter eggs you can actually dig into to a degree.

[@elizawulf8180]

Y'all forgetting that the ultimate big bad of Fallout Van Buren was a plot to trigger the Ballistic Orbital Missile Base, or B.O.M.B.

[@RealBradMiller]

Can't wait for an Outer Worlds sequel.

[@oblivexx]

12:26 after helping Dance out, a second mission after Prydwens arrival should have been coming back to Arcjet to see if we could repurpose the engine onto the airship. That way the mobile command center can hover around boston rather than stay in one location.

[@OlCrunch]

Space is definitely an under-explored area in Fallout canon. Not even the UFO/Alien stuff, I find the Cold War/ Human Spaceflight element *far* more interesting.

[@jallen1425]

I believe in the canceled fallout 3 they had planned to go to the moon if I'm not mistaken.

[@magicpyroninja]

Spaces under explored. They haven't even explored 70% of our own country or any of the rest of the world😅

[@iami3rian394]

The main issue is that for a 2077 society, the fallout space programs of the world are woefully inadequate. We've had more (human made) satellites and orbital vehicles in operation since the seventies.

[@Pixel22-fs3tt]

It interesting when comparing it to our real life spaceflight history.

[@Pixel22-fs3tt]

@@iami3rian394 for sure. like fifty years after the moon landing in their universe and they've only managed to create a spaceship to carry 2 for up to 24 days whereas we've created a spaceship that can carry a much larger crew for as many days

[@kibunjojo4499]

9:56 I am more leaning towards the theory the space station was manually landed instead of crash landing, since the its structure was rather intact.

[@tacticalmemre4760]

Rather ironically, the Virgo 2 lander looks as though it was inspired by the "LK" (lunar craft), a Russian counterpart to the American "LM" (lunar module) along with the N1-L3 rocket. The Soviet effort to land on the moon is quite interesting if you look into it.

[@concept5631]

Makes sense since USSR-US relations are pretty cordial in Fallout. Especially compared to Sino-US relations.

[@jamfork3871]

For pre-war lore I thought it be great to to have a start like fallout 4 before the war but you're at the moon base, 2 weeks left before returning home. You find out the Chinese set up an outpost on the edge of the dark of the moon. As you prepare to assault the outpost all comms and power go out suddenly. the Zetans attack you and the Chinese. The American and Chinese survivors flee back to the US moon base and work together to repair comms. You lead a strike team against the zetans only to deduce they are trying to repair their ship to take out our orbital alert station and alert the zetan carrier to commence invasion, you sneak a nuke aboard and blow the scout zetan ship. The comms are finally restored in time for the retaliation from the Zetans who manage to fire off a nuke moments before you break into the control room. The American and Chinese survivors go to the main atrium and view earth being engulfed in nuclear fire all the while listening to the world go silent. The next day you receive a radio burst transmission that your family were granted access into a vault but could not safely travel to it and are held up in a radio satellite array. You and your survivors work together to repair the escape pods and make your way back to Earth and the game begins!

Great video! Wish we had more Great-War and Pre-War entries and “looks” into that time period.

[@cabbage826]

My only disappointment is how this video seems to completely ignore Kovac-Muldoon. A follow up to that is I wonder if the Kovac-Muldoon is the same orbital platform from Fallout 3.

[@Macinvodakin]

Thank you for the Fallout lore videos. I hope we receive a Fallout game or DLC that covers space or a space war on the moon or something similar.

[@silent_hunter515]

I feel if Bethesda had to they would have to do something like in f3 where you enter a sim pod and go into a battle

[@lilnoscope2926]

[@oblivexx]

I guess next would be orbital space platforms like Helios One's Archimedes and the Enclaves Bradley-Hercules Orbital strike missile station.

[@meowlentine3342]

Moon landing was July 20, 1969

[@TAIHC5811]

I am pretty confident the "weapon" they are referring to in the valiant 1 documents is just the Archimedes 2 orbital strike weapon seen in Fallout new vegas

There's a decent chance that project. Angel piss was actually a reimagining of the very real project Star wars where they intended to have satellites with lasers that could blow missiles out of the air defending against nuclear threats and whatnot

[@CDTyphol]

[@lancejobs]

The Russians killed 6 dogs in their space program, this is important to mention. The 2 that got to space died there painfully and the other involved explosions 1 a self destruct.

Hell no it ain't 💀 if they ever take the series off earth it'll probably be ruined

[@vulcariusrex]

I think that maybe the valiant 1 was working on a mass relay, like the one the institute used This is mainly because he couldn't distinguish between it being a weapon or a communication device And literally just because it's called a space beam and I like star trek It would definitely be within prewar America's preview to try something like that

Possibly the biggest tragedy of the Great War was the scientific losses

[@RounderRounder]

Isn't a space beam just archimedes?

[@Scatt2k7]

No Archimedes is focusing the sun using the weapon you get off of the boy from freeside, maybe the space beam was multiple beams being used or something totally different like a kem strike who knows Bethesda need to add more space content either to FO76 or the upcoming game.

[@RounderRounder]

@@Scatt2k7 the laser comes from the satellite. Veronica mentions it. The “weapon” is the targeting laser for the actual satellite.

[@stinkylegoman40]

Actually in the station of fallout 76 it says that they got shot down by zetans due to what the npc say

[@DeaconBlues117]

Not "shot down" - the station in the Crater used up its maneuvering fuel avoiding the Zetan mothership, a fact certain elements of the US government were desperate to hide (per notes found at NIRA), while Daguerre's craft was recalled to Earth as described in the video.

[@cjthebeesknees]

@@DeaconBlues117 in war that’d be considered a kill by maneuver still, technically.

[@gaztroan131]

The fact it took 12 minutes to orbit the Earth is definitely bonkers and calls into question the US claiming he was the first person to orbit. At minimum it would take 90 minutes so I am 100% sure China and the Soviets were right about the flight. Also calls into question everything else they say as well considering their lunar lander doesn't even have a ladder to ascend to the surface.

[@goose4454]

By the look of that flag, was the U.S already split up by this stage? Or did they never unite?

[@ramshacklealex7772]

By the time of the Great War, the US had been reorganized into 13 Commonwealths instead of 50 states, which is why the flag has one large star surrounded by 13 little ones reminiscent of the original US flag, rather than the 50 little stars it has in real life

[@marktaylor6553]

Didn't the Museum of Freedom have something about a war in space?

[@DeaconBlues117]

There's a mural in the Museum depicting an armed conflict on the Moon. Unsure if it actually happened, or was just more pre-War propaganda.

[@porkflaps4717]

Can somebody watch the beginning of this video again and tell me... when that Apollo capsule shot off from the surface of the moon, there is a camera left on the surface to film take-off.. WHO was panning the camera upward to follow the capsule's ascent back into space? They done MESSED UP with that one camera shot. There wasn't someone controlling it on earth. Plus, there's an 8-10 second delay. That shot was tight and pans WITH the capsule NO DELAY. We've been had imo, ain't nobody went to the moon using ancient 1960's technology.

[@GiubileiFernando]

They forgot about Peter Conrad and had to come back to pick him up later, but he at least got those cool shots.

[@Nuniixo]

youre joking right

[@Gobtik]

You realise cameras can auto pan right? It's literally a motor set to engage at a certain point. Also, you're wrong, the camera on the moon *was* able to be controlled from the Earth to pan upwards but they realised that the latency (which was around 2-3 seconds not 8-10) would be too much so it was simply pre-programmed to tilt up based on the lift off sequence and the astronauts worked to a planned time of departure. With Apollo 15 the automation failed and yes, just recorded the lift off and nothing else and they actually messed up on Apollo 16 as the buggy with the camera on was too close so it didn't capture it. Apollo 17 they did actually use the remote command based on a pre-planned sequence of known time, Ed Fendell operated it and started the sequence at T minus 3 seconds knowing it would take a few seconds to fire and start lifting so it starts tracking up 2-3 seconds after the lift off and tracked it perfectly

[@vonfaustien3957]

The Russians landed Rovers before the moon landing and were watching the Appolo launch and landings. If it was Faked the USSR would have known and had proof meaning for it to be Fake a rival nation hostile to the USA would have had to help with the cover up. Why would they do that?
