Can you help us share This Week In Spaceflight? It seems everyone that watches it likes it, but it does some really poor view numbers every week. Your support liking, commenting and sharing on your socials would really help us.
@@zander_the_space_nerdThat might actually happen already the next decade, and almost guaranteed in 20-30 years. We have an amazing future ahead of us!
Your updates and quality information has always been impressive, and this Polaris Dawn update is yet another example of why I depend on you folks. Keep up the amazing work that you all do to keep us informed and entertained.
The fact people working on it were memeing about Iron Man and Dragon Ball Z visor is also telling how much time it took the industry. It's truly a different era 😅
It's amazing understanding the issues with low-pressure decompression issues due to SCUBA certification which deals with decompression from high-pressure environments.
In 2 weeks, NASA will announce when they will schedule a meeting to discuss when they will decide when they will consider their options for bringing Butch and Suni home. After that, NASA will meet to determine when they will schedule the announcement of their decision. Hopefully Butch and Suni will get home before they turn 80.
They can’t tie up that port on the ISS forever. It’s needed for other flights and the other companies won’t stand still for it much longer. But I LOVE your comment ❤
How the heck does Elysia repeat All that information without ever looking at anything but the camera? Very impressive an obviously a very smart Gal. Thanks for such great coverage.
Maybe Elysia and NSF team could do a Quarterly Interplanetary Review video highlighting all the current, scheduled and proposed missions to anywhere beyond the Clarke Belt. So, we can have an awareness of all such missions, wrapped up in one video and updated every 90 days or so. And then a series of videos detailing those missions, individually; with things like launch date, launch vehicle, flight path and timeline, science experiments and funding status.
13:17 If Dragon and Spacex didn't exist, would they have had to go to Soiuz? 15:21 China launched a satellite called China National Reconnaissance Offices ?
Can NASA shift the Escapade mission to Falcon Heavy? Trying to launch an interplanetary mission on an inaugural flight where it's not likely to make orbit seems odd to me.
NASA and Rocket Lab are apparently confident that it will reach orbit and I would bet they know more and have more of an investment than you do in seeing Escapade being successful.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Thanks for the snarky reply. However, if they have so much confidence then why didn't they put a payload on Starship flight 1? It didn't reach orbit and neither is Blue likely to reach orbit on their very first test flight.
@@qwerty112311 Recent history in the past 20 years or so of new startups in the space industry. Every startup has had trouble during the first few test flights. Even Boeing who is not considered a startup is having difficulty with Starliner as well as SLS. Just going by statistics, it's not likely to be successful. Even RFA has had failures with test vehicles they intended to launch. Consider that they have never launched anything to orbit before. To have high-hopes for a new startup with no experience is admirable but unfounded.
@@ronwatkins5775 You are making the same mistake comparing the development of New Glenn to Starship. New Glenn is a finished product just like Vulcan was on its first flight which was quite nominal as I recall. Starship by contrast is in development and a completely different rocket from New Glenn as the largest and most powerful rocket ever flown. Plus it is being designed to land and be reused multiple times. None of that is true with New Glenn so stop making that simplistic comparison!
🙏🙏 @NASASpaceflight When you have photos especially of ones you did not take yourselves, can you please post a link in the description or pin comment so I can go look at them myself
Anything NASA opens a portal to dumb comment hell. Hoping the job is rewarding enough to make up for it. Excited about a commercial spacewalk on my birthday.
Pure O2, Van Allen immersion, new EVA suits, modified capsule. A lot of new technology. Critical points of failure. For god sake. DON'T make a mistake. Not one mistake.
Ah yes. Hundreds of thousands of people in numerous countries are working tirelessly to try to make you look stupid, but it's not working! Come on over at any time and show me what my satellite dish is pointed at.
Then you need to learn more. Does the phrase “car” or “subway” or “bus” or “plane” or any other word, let alone phrase, in the English scare you? Because they all have killed plenty of people. Everything in this world has gone wrong before. Doesn’t mean it will go wrong another time. Risk cannot be eliminated, only managed.
Since you used the label of company I can assume that you aren't including NASA which is facilitating the flights of the SLS/Artemis program. And there are in fact companies involved in the SLS/Artemis like Boeing.
People who don't understand the desire of some people to travel into space often say that. Here are a few facts to raise your about. The total NASA budget is less than one half of one percent of the US budget! How is that expensive? NASA has launched numerous space telescopes into various near earth orbits which study the universe via different wavelengths of light thereby increasing our understanding of the universe which in turn can help us understand our own planet. Numerous probes have been sent to planets, asteroids and the sun over the last 5 decades with all of the planets having been visited by those probes. And I could go on with many more examples of how exploration of space benefits humanity.
Pretty cheap shot to show a SpaceX test tank purposely pressure tested to destruction (bursting), [0:57]as an example of an explosion. FYI "bursting" is NOT "exploding"! Did you really have to sink that low?
I don't know what is your problem with it, it's just a way of representing what such a failure may have looked like and we have *years* of our own footage of testing tanks to destruction at Starbase so yeah of course it is easier than not showing anything at all because there is no footage of the incidents that happened at Blue Origin. It's not some "cheap shot" to SpaceX, it's just that we have footage that shows a similar outcome and we used it. It's not that deep
@@ale131296 Sorry but it is a cheap shot. You labeled it as an "explosion", not the pressure test to destruction that is was. That is a huge difference at a number of levels - not the least as fodder for the Musk haters who love to denigrate explosions of prototype vehicles. You have lots of shots of true explosions that you could have used so you just didn't care or were lazy. I expected better of your channel but I just learned that that was a mistake.
Not seeing Join in Description means I’m already subscribed? Anyway, Congrats to (always “stitch in time”) SpaceX & shame on BOTH Boeing & NASA for allowing such inept designs into space & allowing this debacle to drag on so endlessly, w/ yet more kludge left. I suppose what’s left of Boeing’s “best” will follow their betters over to SpaceX (where Columbia/Challenger cultures are not allowed to persist, as w/ B&N. -Get that Kamala?). Kamala irrationally HATES anything, Elon, based on some bizarre meme that equates money to selfishness, anti-communityism, sloth/waste, corruption, etc., all of which are opposite to Musk’s ethics AND conduct (unlike the self-righteous Dem’s). Such irrational wokeism is why I’d rather vote the sleezebag in.

CHANGE THE VOICE
@NASASpaceflight please may we have a link in tbe normal chat.
Grateful to live in a time where there's enough spaceflight news in a week to support a show called This Week in Spaceflight.
Can't wait for today in spaceflight!
So true!!!!!
* Enough _real_ news. Several decades of "Boeing CEO not opposed to concept of commercial spaceflight."
@@zander_the_space_nerdThat might actually happen already the next decade, and almost guaranteed in 20-30 years. We have an amazing future ahead of us!

Very excited for the Polaris Dawn mission, especially the space walk. Thank you Elysia and NSF.
One small step...
Thank you Elysia for your comprehensive reporting, you are a true professional.
Thank you for the update. I try not to miss any of these. Love it.
Thanks Elysia and team for the great overviews each week!
Thank you Elysia. Love the Friday updates.
Awesome space report--thanks! Eager to see Polaris Dawn!!!!
Thanks Elysia and NSF team. Lots of ups and downs for launch companies this week.
Such a great report as usual Elysia!
Polaris Dawn mission will be epic. SpaceX is showing the world how the things should be done.
Thank you Elysia for another awesome TWIS! & thanks NSF!
Someone has FINALLY put a HUD in a Spacesuit helmet. I've been banging on about it for years.
you know there arent many space suits that have even existed and those being used are ancient
The fact people working on it were memeing about Iron Man and Dragon Ball Z visor is also telling how much time it took the industry. It's truly a different era 😅
Thanks Elysia ❤
Thank you Elisar and all at NSF for a very informative video
Another Great video with that awesome voice of your's..
Thanks Elysia and NSF team! A juicy news week!
Outstanding update! Thank you! 👍❤🎅❤👍
I really appreciate these weekly updates. With so much happening with new rocket launch companies. NSF provides a great format for space news.
Thank you Elyisa I really enjoy NSF for all of my SpaceX news. you have a great team.
Oh Starliner…..wonder why it’s a Saturday announcement and not a market day.
Imagine the Apollo 13 story if there had been an opportunity to do the second half of the trip on a safer vehicle, but they didn't take it.
these people are smart my friend
Another great video, well done!
It's amazing understanding the issues with low-pressure decompression issues due to SCUBA certification which deals with decompression from high-pressure environments.
Eagerly awaiting the Polaris Dawn EVA. Thanks for the informative update 🇦🇺

I love this show
Everyone’s already said everything I wanted to say so I’ll just say “Thanks for everything as always!”

because she's awesome! --kmr
More rockets, more better. Great update.

Extraordinary Magnificent Beautiful 😊
Pointy end up, flamey end down
like Elon said, rockets are hard
I don't think I will ever get tired of that intro song.
As said, this is why we test. Ad Astra Per Aspera.
I wonder if any of the SpaceX EVA suit upgrades will find their way into their IVA suits.
5:45 Polaris Dawn
Segal: Chang Zheng
Everyone else: Long March
I know this is “off topic” but Elysia Segal is a beautiful young lady 👍👍👍
Escapade isn't going anywhere, for at least 2 years !
Nice
5:44 - 12:00 for Polaris Dawn.
13:17 If Dragon and Spacex didn't exist, would they have had to go to Soiuz? 15:21 China launched a satellite called China National Reconnaissance Offices ?
Isn’t it suppose to be 6 917 Starlink sats launched, not 7 917?
and people say that NASA doesn't bid on newspace enough.
So the first civilian space walk capsule will transmit data through starlink, a high speed internet using satellites via laser. cool 😎
Will Butch and Suni be one of the longest Astronauts to be in space ;)
Nope, not even close to the record
@@ale131296 I am well aware, was banter 😘
With all of these puns, surely Sawyer wrote the script?
thanks for such great weekly updates!
thank you @elysia_segal, you're my favorite presenter and always look forward to your updates
And Blue Origin will respond to these setbacks by filing lawsuits to slow down their competitors until they can catch up.
Means no BO Escapade launch this year 😂
Is it going to be the safe return of astronauts lost in space?
Did Alex steal pun tokes from Sawyer and write this script, forcing Elysia to say such a terrible pun?
🥈
I think Elysia is a robot. No woman can be so pretty ! 😍
Please slow down, allow us to digest information. Please spell out in Small bits
suitable lol
Elon musk people living on Mars for NASA gets back to the moon

Why is it unlikely to make it to orbit? I wish nothing but non-human-injury failure for Blue origin, but what’s your analysis based on?

German lessons say otherwise

👍 true
NO "SPACE WALK" !Pure HYPE!
Ah yes. Hundreds of thousands of people in numerous countries are working tirelessly to try to make you look stupid, but it's not working! Come on over at any time and show me what my satellite dish is pointed at.
The phrase 100% oxygen scares me. Thats gone wrong before
Every EVA suit uses a 100% oxygen atmosphere. There have been over 300 EVAs in history, none of them have had any issues with that.
Then you need to learn more. Does the phrase “car” or “subway” or “bus” or “plane” or any other word, let alone phrase, in the English scare you? Because they all have killed plenty of people.

Not the optimum voice for narration ...
You are entitled to your opinion and you are a tiny minority with that comment. I thought you might like to know where you stand!
Space x is the only company working towards getting off earth everyone most want to put tiny satellites into space.
Since you used the label of company I can assume that you aren't including NASA which is facilitating the flights of the SLS/Artemis program. And there are in fact companies involved in the SLS/Artemis like Boeing.
It's isar not esar. I understand you're American accent might not allow you to pronounce i's & e's correctly.
Another billionaire using stolen money to joyride instead of paying his workers. Fingers crossed for a rapid unplanned disassembly of this vehicle.
Space exploration is a very expensive pipe dream. Huge waste of money and resources.
People who don't understand the desire of some people to travel into space often say that. Here are a few facts to raise your about.

Reading ready-made texts, is somehow not so cool from the vice president :)
So, not really an EVA. More like a Hatch peek out. An EVA has an umbilical.
