Really enjoy the no nonsense, straightforward delivery of information. All those other extreme hyperbolic click bait trash space channels should take note. Good to see the internet being used as intended for a change. Keep it up.
Based on what Tory Bruno said, it would have been safe to cycle the valve on the centaur, and that likely would've fixed the problem and they could have launched, but because of ULA's strict rule that you can't change the fueling state of the vehicle in any way with astronauts on board, even if it has an insignificant chance of causing any problems, they scrubbed the launch. He mentioned that "some other companies do that, but we just don't", because obviously SpaceX safely fuels the entire vehicle after astronauts are on board and it's fine. And that's a lot more of a "change in fueling state" than just cycling a valve.
That's looking at the bright side. NASA concluded that the valve that chattered was likely beyond its 200,000th recommended level of cycles. The part was not easily accessible and required a lengthy procedure to replace, extending the delay. How many other "unqualified" parts are there on Starliner? Since the space station is being retired in 2030 (less than 6 years away), it is time to scrub Starliner as SpaceX has a proven system that can meet all space station needs.
what was that blurred writing at the beginning of the video? 0:34
Awesom This Week In Spaceflight, Thank you Elysia & NSF!!!
Thanks Elysia and the NSF team.
imho ULA did the absolute right thing.
There’s no way we got a different set of space earrings for every week! That’s impossible!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy and look forward to your show. I really wish you had your own bling section in the NSF store. Classy space suits. hehe
At this time I don't know if I would buy into any Boeing explanation with their track record.
Absolutely, 10000%…. This is a never ending failure that taxpayers are being screwed for, they cant even keep their planes in the air, and we are trusting them with this, again and again..
At not just their planes.. in the last six months they have been accused of breaking human rights in their employment law, caught up with the murders of two whistleblowers, being accused of thousands of production errors, breached and acknowledged their breaches of hundreds of h&s laws, their share price fell greater then half, their output fell greater then 80% and yet we are still entrusting them with this
The side by side of Archimedes and Rutherford is a great pic. Thanks for the recap.
Quality reporting. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼`
Yes, there's a typo on the date. It's a test for y'all to see if you notice, it's definitely not there as an error... ;)

its been blurred now
@@clayel1 the magic of the internet heh
(Thanks Elysia!) Safety's all-important, and it's great to have higher margins for crewed spaceflight. And I acknowledge that cryogenic plumbing is damn tough to get just right. Just the same, we've been dealing with leaky & fluttery hydrogen valves for more than 50 years. Is it time for a new design approach?
Excellent update!
Let's go Elysia!
Hello Elysia Another top notch episode.
I really like these videos. Really well presented and lots packed into it. 👍
Fairings on 1st stage.
That'll be interesting.
And innovative.
@NASASpaceflight and Elysia this chang'e 6 also has a chinese rover onboard
Epic!
Yay space this week
Elysia those earrings are 🔥🧑🚀
You missed the Australian Launch company, Southern Launch who had their first suborbital launch. The HyImpulse rocket from a German team.
Good job on keeping her, she's well spoken and charismatic
Great explanation from Tory Bruno.
The "Mid-Atlantic Launch Center" is WALLOPS!
thanks for the updates! nice shirt too lol i want one
:) shop.nasaspaceflight.com/collections/retro-starbase
The archimedes engine is a beast!
cant wait for polaris dawn exciting times
Bloomberg TV just reported that SpaceX wants to launch 44 Starships a YEAR from Kennedy, and that the EIS for the effort will soon begin.
Yeah that'll go on Monday's Starbase Update, stay tuned :)
As usual great show, great earrings, but I also love your shirt!
So for Starliner it's now NET next Friday(5/17)? I thought it was tonight. :-(
Does SpaceX's new EVA suit provide any protection against radiation, or is that not possible in a spacesuit?
In the Tim Dodd interview with the Polaris Dawn crew, Jared said that the main radiation will be when they go through the 1200km orbits when they pass through the South Atlantic anomaly. The Space Walk will be at a lower orbit: 190km by 700km.
During their various orbits, the radiation they will be exposed to in the 5 days in the CrewDragon, will be equivalent to 2 to 3 months on the ISS.
The EVA suits do not provide them protection from radiation. They are designed not to inflate in the vacuum and have up to 15 layers of insulation. The first of it's kind, one piece visor, has a copper layer, a thermal protection layer, an anti-fog layer and is highly impact resistant. There is also a Heads Up Display (HUD) that displays O2, CO2 levels and pressure indications and flow rates. The interview is long, but worth lot's of information.
I'm trying to picture a lead space suit.
Hope that SpaceX and others are paying attention to the space weather. We just reached a G3 geomagnetic storm level, and NOAA has issued a G4 storm watch for the next couple of days.
Now G4!
No worries. It is going to blowup anyway.
G5 baby!
Thinking back to Gemini 4. I wonder if a glove will "accidentally " float out of the capsule.
Jared Issacman and Sarah Gillis will be going out of the Dragon (in that order) and Scott Poteet and Anna Menon will be staying inside the capsule, as back-up and assistants.
At least the new EVA suits won't balloon out and prevent them getting back inside, basically impossible for that to happen and the Dragon opening is much bigger than the Gemini's was.
Yes it is possible something could float out with the whole door open to space. I am sure they will have everything tethered, including the 'zero G indicator' plushy. 👨🏼🚀👨🏼🚀👩🏼🚀👩🏼🚀
I don't understand - if they have identified the issue of the valve on other missions - why didn't they fix it! Not reset. Fix.
Through pure luck, I spotted a train of satellites (20+) in northern New Zealand on 8 May at around 19:00 local time (UTC 2024-05-08 07:00). Looked exactly like starlink launches I've seen here on youtube - but it doesn't seem to match up with any of the launches described here. Would starlink 6-57 at 2024-05-06 18:14 UTC still look like a tight trail of lights 36 hours later? If not, any idea what I was looking at?
"not boeing fault" but ULA still part of Boeing tho
The engine is produced by Lockheed
Also, while part of ULA did come from Boeing, they are completely different entities, and there is no longer any crossover between the two businesses. That could change in the future, as ULA is looking at being bought, and Boeing, along with Blue Origin, and some other companies, are looking at buying ULA.
When it comes to it, Boeing has next to nothing to do with the event, besides having their payload be crewed.
@@famlrnamemssngand rolls royce produce the engines for the 747… its still a boeing 747..
In fact, boeing have NEVER built an engine for ANY of their products, but they are the ones selling and promoting and promising products in their name
“Not Boeing’s fault”, except that Boeing is a 50/50 owner of ULA with Lockheed
None of the things on Atlas V were designed by Boeing though
See? So it's clearly Lockheed's fault!

Hi Elysia, great content and presentation as always! Mk stands for 'Mark' and you would normally say 'Mark one' as its written. I think its a Brit tradition...
Yes, it is British. The American style would be ‘version’.
Mark (Mk) starts from zero (0) which is the original ‘mark’ or ‘version’.
Elysia and !Mary my two fav NSF ladys!
The helmet needs a nose scratcher. But it's something they can just glue on a stick on themselves
I was gonna add, butt wiper. Other astronauts help each other or do they have an on board Bidet?? 😂😂😂
@@chrissmith6147 be careful now, you don't want space pink eye
What was that background music?
If this valve is a common problem, why not redesign it for crewed missions, and eliminate the problem?
yay
If starliner scrubs again, IFT-4 might launch first.
No worries, Mate. The politicians will find SOMETHING to have the FAA slow-walk the launch license until their cash-cow is launch.
👏👏👏
i thought they gonna launch on may 20
The vehicle Starliner flies on is still Boeings responsibility, it's their flight so they are the ones who have to make sure the entire system and even rocket works perfectly not just "their" capsule. I'm not saying it's a big deal(as of yet), but to say it's not Boeings fault is ridiculous, they are responsible for the products they contract out. Also, not that it matters, but Boeing is one of ULAs parent companies, so Atlas is their product to a degree.
What is not understood by a lot of observers is that this flight is entirely funded by Boeing. No taxpayer dollars are involved.

(Boeing crew tries to re-book on JetBlue)
😅
If it’s @boeing, we’re not going.
ULA: better save than… kaboom. 👍
Hmmm, prequalifying components causing delays, behind schedule, now what does this remind me of? Oh yes, legacy aerospace! Has Rocket Lab been drawn to the dark side?
19:00 Why do people insist on calling things skynet 🤦♂️
Where can I get that tshirt
shop.nasaspaceflight.com/collections/retro-starbase
always knew starliner would be delayed to 2025
Sounds like we found the Mustafar System!?!
Starliner LOL!
If I were one of the Astronauts I would call in Sick.
Weird that Boeing is not doing good, in 737,757,787 and now a rocket????
Who names something Skynet?! I mean come on. /facepalm
Ask the UK military... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(satellite)
8:20
And that is exactly why Space X is more cost effective than NASA sponsored launches where the flight rules haven't changed since 1958... even though technology has.
Hi
OPPORTUNITY !!!!!
A tesla-bot could wear the tesla-suit outside ISS untill it fails. The telemetry will be AWESOME !!!
I sure would NOT want that job, myself. But someone has to do it !
Do the Chinese expect to find different rocks on the far side of the moon? Just because that side never faces the Earth? While the far side has never been exposed to the Earth, it has been fully exposed to the rest of the solar system, the galaxy, and beyond.
All they will find is Pink Floyd L.P's: The Dark Side of the Moon 1973 😁 But basically, they other side of the moon is exposed to higher levels of solar radiation i.e photon streams. So the effect on the dust and rocks, may show some results that are unexpected, from millions of years of bombardment. If NASA and the Chinese equivalent share their data, they may be able to compare the differences between the moon samples. Maybe even gain an insight to the level of the suns output since the formation of the moon. It might tell us how 'stable' or 'unstable' it has been?
Second~
✨🫶✨
I really hope that China start to build a base on the moon, it's way past the time when we should have permanent habitation there
I wonder if the first Chinese laundry will cater for all nations?
Huh? All 4 members were identified before the release of this video. Scott Poteet Anna Menon, Sarah gilles, and Jared Issacman
No. Thats polaris dawn.. not the one with EVA, they are two separate flights
Of the four crewmembers only two will do the EVA. We didn't know who would be doing the EVA prior to the announcement last week
@@ale131296 all four need to be in EVA for the walk because Polaris’ capsule doesnt have an airlock, when they open the door to let the two out, the other two are also exposed.
@@samwalker8893 Trust me, *I know* all four will be on the EVA suits, but only Sarah and Jared will get out of their seats to perform the EVA which is what I meant on the script when I wrote this video
What's more, it's only their two suits the ones that have the helmet camera, the other two suits won't have it because those two won't exit Dragon
Bet the crew is pi**ed that they wouldn’t just cycle it while it was on the pad lol😊
How on Earth it is NOT Boeing's fault?? They are the ones producing this rocket! ULA is a partnership of Lockheed and - guess what - BOEING🤦♂
It's not Boeing's fault..... YET
Boeing are having a laugh with the American tax dollars 😅
Absolutely, and the fact that no 9be keeps mentioning this is one of the worst coverups of modern day political nonsense
Let me guess, if it clears the launch pad it's a "success". 😂
Let me guess, someone else who doesn’t understand the iterative design process that lead to Falcon dominating the global launch services industry. 😂
congratulations to pakistan for launching their first satellite
What do you mean it's not Boeing u l a is Boeing
Funky eyebrows
Why is the space community hellbent om using the metric system? Why are you saying kilometers when talking about activities in the United states. I could understand if you want to use it when talking about space, which even then we should still use miles, but you're talking about the rocketlab water tower in Virginia. Just say miles. This is the united states.
This is RUclips and we publish to an international audience the majority of which uses metric
This is Rocket Science , and science uses the Metric System.
The only three countries still using the Imperial System:
United States
Liberia
Myanmar
Both Liberia & Myanmar are already in the process of officially adopting Metric (both already use it widely).
@@ale131296 they can adapt. We are the world's superpower. Does the world change their measurement system for an American audience?
@@Alan-ii9teyeah sure, worlds superpower, sure….
