    I'd totally watch FranNEWS as a regular segment!
    I think it would need to be kept to a reasonable length though, maybe 10-15min tops.
    Also needs one of those annimated news intros with spinning globe or something.

      Unfortunately, I think you're right. Personally, I prefer a more long form approach with more info and context, but videos in the 15 minute range will likely look less daunting to new folks. I would almost say shorter videos but released more often would be the key, but I know the Algorithm can bury frequent video releases. Maybe longer videos with well done chapters would mostly appease everyone?

    my dad was a private pilot in the 40s and 50s, he told me he took a parachute with him if he knew he was going to fly at high altitudes, because if a fire started on board, he couldn't get the plane down fast enough to save himself.

    Fran, I'm another of your fans that would happily sit and listen to you talk about whatever is on your mind. I find you to be very informative, and the way you communicate just resonates with me. I find you very relaxing to listen to, as well. Keep pumping out the hits, and, congratulations on the new space, I really hope you can keep this one.

    An early shuttle mission returned with a damaged window. When they analyzed what hit the window, it turned out to be a fleck of paint from a Saturn 5 rocket. Nobody can track all of those pieces since they are so small. They have a tough time with baseball sized derbies continuously.

      I gotta wonder if someone won't part out the ISS rather than destroy it, since an enormous part of its cost was getting it off the earth and beyond the atmosphere. Even if it's too smelly to save it for the same use, it surely is a source of materials for recycling in future off-earth construction.

    I'm on the order of 5-10 years younger than Fran, and her channel has, for more than two years, re-awakened all sorts of my childhood electronics makerly impulses, and I'm now operating soldering irons (and even purchasing new ones, plus breadboards and transistors and all the rest) in response to her instructive and highly illuminating videos. Of course I want to know what Fran has to say about current events. On this channel we get to learn about past technologies, the state of the electronic arts in the present, and gain insight into what the near future may bring.

    On the Space Shuttle the philosophy with respect to failures was Fail-Operational, Fail-Safe. Meaning after the first failure the vehicle was Operational, after the second failure of the same system was Safe. NASA probably imposed this requirement on SpaceX, so the Dragon Capsule is Fail-Safe with only two parachutes, three is Fail-Operational. Probably landing with only one parachute was unacceptable in some way, but I'd bet passengers would survive but may be injured, Fail-Injured. So, the four chutes added another level of protection on a Dragon Capsule.

    Dollar Tree has been selling clearly labelled LED bulbs for several years. I bought a couple for a freight elevator at work, and they've been on 24/7/365 for a couple years.
    It's too bad the old ISS couldn't be pushed into a " museum orbit" somewhere for the future..or that really old satellites couldn't be recovered for museums. The mental image I have for the ISS deorbit is the crashing space station from " Green Slime"...
    I'll bet that pilot had to answer a lot of questions for the FAA..

    Thanks Fran for putting a perspective on news items. I too try to avoid watching the news on TV. I`m from the UK but can relate to the articles you referred to. Yes poorer people can`t always afford to buy LED bulbs and so suffer higher electricity bills, I still need to replace a number of bulbs with LED at home. Interesting to know about the ISS and how they would de-orbit it. I still remember Skylab coming down. I`ve often wondered what will be the next space station. OK we are still a little way off getting something like DS9 LOL! But who knows!
    Take care and stay safe.... off now to finish my LED & Blackberry Dessert 🙂

    Those glass LED bulbs would be nice for outdoor fixtures. The plastic ones degrade over time due to UV I think and crack letting in moisture which destroys them. They were rated for damp locations but not for the outdoors, so kinda my fault.
