Hey Tim, I like your LONG videos very much. These are so detailed and informally. I learned sooooooo much from your extremely good videos. Thank you so much for these. And also for your music. Loving it. Best wishes from Bavaria! (Germany. Not far away from the Octoberfest.)

You started humble, but you exploded, educated yourself about something you clearly have a passion about, and got on about explaining details in a way anyone could understand. I give you a million props, and hope others watching this channel go back to the beginning, and realize how much of an evolution it has been. Truly, dude. I hope someone, someday, notices this and fits you accordingly. It'd be the dream of your life, and the joy of many more :)
@Dave Von Saunder Yea, I think it's important for NASA to have two spacecrafts capable of launching to the ISS! And Tim if you are watching I wouldn't mind a video about the launch process about the Starliner too!
I got an old computer case speaker and hooked it up to a 1 inch CRT screen that used to be a view finder on a camera. If I can't have the best viewing experience I can at least have the worst.
Great job, Tim! Thanks, I enjoyed learning the details out outlined. I've been a space-freak since I was about 4, which would be 1964. I've waited a LONG time for this new burst of development and exploration. More power to SpaceX!

Thank you so much for all that you do. I really enjoy watching your videos. You explain very complex things so well. I’m so excited for this (well all actually) launch.
July 8, 2011. My birthday! I was watching that final launch for my birthday and was excited and sad at the same time. I am always excited with any launch. But sad that day, because it was the final launch of the Shuttle. I am waiting anxiously for the up-coming SpaceX launch!!! I hope the weather hold out and everything looks good for launch day! I recently had to move from Tampa, Fl to St. Louis, MO. I was able to see almost every launch from Kennedy all the way in Tampa. It took around 30 seconds for the rockets to get high enough in the atmosphere to see it in the sky. Plus, being all the way across the peninsula, it was quite small. I am sad that I will not be able to see this launch in person. But I will be watching YOU Tim Dodd, for the launch. I will be watching with my mom here in St. Louis. I hope she enjoys it enough (I am sure she will) to become a subscriber as well!!! Keep up the amazing work, and good luck this week!!!
Tim: How does this compare to the typical Soyuz mission to the ISS? (18 hours is a good amount of time to be in a Dragon Capsule) Fantastic breakdown and I'd love to see all of the video breakdowns of Starliner and Reentry!
By today's standards the DEMO 2 transfer to the ISS is on the slower site. Back in the 2000s a Soyuz flight to the ISS took around two days. There were most of the time three people on board with around 8.5 m³/ 301 ft³ pressurized space. Dragon 2 has 9.3 m³/ 328 ft³, so 18-19 hours is not a problem for the two man crew on DEMO 2. In 2013 the Russians cut the time for the approach to around 5 h 45 min with Soyuz TMA-08M, which I considered an amazing thing back then. After that time, it was not uncommon that the transfer took around 6 hours. But this fast approach trajectory was not always possible or wanted, so I believe there were also flights who took like 10, 12 or 18 hours, maybe up to a day. I didn't have time to check every Soyuz flight to the ISS. To my knowledge the fastest transfer till to day was made by an unmanned Progress cargo spacecraft last month, Progress MS-14 or 75P, with around 3 h 20 min. And since the six-hour trajectory was tested with two Progress spacecrafts before it's use on TMA-08M, there is the possibility that we could perhaps see faster 3 to 4 hour approaches by Soyuz spacecrafts in the future too. One thing you have to consider regarding your transfer to the ISS is the fact that a faster approach normally needs more fuel, because you can't wait a few hours for a perfect opportunity for an efficient burn and so you have to make more and rather inefficient burns to get the same results in changes of your orbital trajectory in a shorter time. So if you need the extra fuel to do something in space, like for example to rise the orbit of the ISS with a burn by a Progress spacecraft, then a slower transfer is advantages. But a cargo spacecraft doesn't have to be that fast in its transfer anyway in contrast to a manned spacecraft. I also believe that there is not much difference between launching from Florida and Baikonur regarding possible trajectories to the ISS, so a faster approach should be possible for Crew Dragon if fuel is not a problem. In case of the DEMO 2 flight, I believe that they don't want to overdo things on there first manned flight and maybe also want to test and check some things in free flight. So they will most likely try to attempt faster approach trajectories after more Dragon 2 flights. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Also, sorry for my bad English.
@@AlexBakiper Less time on approach also requires stricter launch timing, since it mostly has to do with where the ISS is in its orbit when you launch and how soon you'll catch up to it. Theoretically it's possible to launch directly into a rendezvous, but the timing would be ridiculous and it would probably be very dangerous if anything went even slightly wrong. If you have never played Kerbal Space Program, I highly recommended it as a way to get a feel for how orbital rendezvous works.
Wow you really do keep surprising me Tim with all this new content! I've been watching you from the very early days back in 2017 when you were just starting out and... wow! You've literally come from amateur to documentary level videos! You've took me from amateur to geek level in spaceflight. Thank you so much and yes please post a landing timeline for Crew Dragon and also a full timeline for Starliner. I've actually learned quite a bit from this video.
Some of you will consider it petty, but I'm so psyched that SpaceX is gonna get there before Boeing! Hats off to the underdogs, Boeing needs a proper shake.
Tim, great work, as always! It is a privilege to be your Patreon patron and live vicariously through you! So, so excited for Wednesday!!! Drive safe and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience!!!!!
@@limiv5272 That reminds of the time, several years ago, that a journalist doing a story on gun control decided to do some actual research. He went to gun range and actually fired a few rounds out of an AR-14. He then went home and blogged about what a traumatic experience it was for him, likening his reaction to PTSD. Needless to say, the ensuing criticism and mockery were savage. My favorite were the pictures of young girls having great fun shooting guns.
@@namanpahuja7653 4yrs designing a space suit! Whilst running multiple companies on so many projects...hes got that much free time for space suit consulting🤣

Even the "easies" ones demands hours but man... your passion and how committed you are...you engaged me 200%. Thank you so much for you effort. As soon as I can I'll became a Patreon you deserve it!
Beat that dead horse to death. P.S. Do you have a backup plan for when they start sending female astronauts up? Something about giant, brass ovaries? Jumbo lady nuts?
You should do a video covering all the safety measures outside of the rocket in place if something were to go wrong. Who recovers them, is there a fire team in place if there is a fire on the pad, and what other measures are in place to ensure the astronauts safety from outside the rocket.
Fantastic video Tim, great explanation of the process. You’ve really mastered the art of presenting science with the perfect balance of visuals, detail and enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be tuning in to watch you cover the launch!
Hey Tim, in the launch sequence I noticed that crew dragon switches to internal power way later than the abort system is switched on. I suppose the abort system has dedicated (potentially redundant) circuitry and battery systems that could start to draw on its internal power way earlier than non-emergency systems? Curious if we can get info on these details :) Cheers and keep up the good work.
It makes sense as you would want an 'escape route' before starting the fueling. Probably a common sense requirement from NASA for accepting 'fuel and go', if it was not already a feature. Much like requiring two open doors when refueling a passenger aircraft when passengers are on board. I've no idea of how the circuitry is wired, but I'm sure they have it figured out. 'Hope for the best, plan for the worst.' And Tim, I would like to see a video going over the Starliner sequence. In a year or so. (It's been over a year since DM1 and Starliner's next attempt is when? Nov - Dec?)
This is one of the dumbest questions I've ever seen in a RUclips comments section. I definitely don't care about the answer to it, and obviously I know it cannot be answered truthfully. What are you people? Are you actually the real ones or just employees saying random things to make this stuff seem more realistic?
Lol you know it's a great product when you look at the actual RUclips video and it has millions of views the likes/dislikes are off, and the comments are off...
Really good video Tim. I loved this short-form, it compliments your longer deep-dives really well. Yes, a re-entry and landing version would be great, but no hurry!
I suspect a lot of it is Disagree with Musk on Twitter => Musk Bad => SpaceX Bad => Video about SpaceX Something Bad For some people the hate is strong and overwhelms other thoughts.
Tony Stark when he met Elon Musk in Iron Man 2: (in 2010) *Tony* "Hey Elon, what's good?" *Tony* "Those Marlin Engines are fantastic" *Elon* I got an idea for an electric Jet" *Tony* "You do?" "Then we will make it work" Sounds familiar? :')
This video is great. For people that don't know anything about rocket launches, this outlines all the phases in one concise video. That way they can enjoy the experience too! Definitely produce some of these as new mission profiles come to exist.
Hmmm, Is it just me.. Some footage of the crew in their flight suits and the video screens in the capsule dont half remind me of 2001 space odessey .. and is the onboard computer called H.A.L Dave ..?? 🤔

It jigglingl like a jelly!
no it's not molten. it's just vibrating
Exactly what I have been looking for... mostly the video of things happening... keep up the great work!!!
Really good video Tim. I loved this short-form, it compliments your longer deep-dives really well. Yes, a re-entry and landing version would be great, but no hurry!
I'm dying to know how the ride will feel for the astronauts. Hope we get some feedback on that.
Not a astronaut here but I think it is just a bunch of shaking and G-forces, basically it just feels weird.
@@kbyrnenc 'basically feels wierd" I bet it has never ever been described like that by an astronauts.
@@rachealwood462 I have no idea m8 I am just guessing because of the motion from all the thrust from the engines
Not everybody returns in a condition fit to answer.
Here on our planet we have motor vehicles to do it.
Guilt perhaps? the fact they are participating in one of the worst "space" hoaxes since the Moon landings
I can't wait! T-3 days!!!
i got the feeling we gonna get cockblocked by the weather :(
@@ppsarrakis Its Florida... happens a lot....
7:51 I hate it when my cork ring stiffener falls off.
To rise a few inches seems irrelevant
even if Elon Musk.
Thanks for putting this all together Tim. Very cool.
Yes, do another one for the return.
Yes...similar videos for everything. Great job once again Tim. We love all your videos no matter the duration. 👍
Who dislikes this? Honestly, answer why. He did what I wrote in the title and he did it more than well. My opinion...
They Disliked History.
They think the space program is a hoax, or dislike every video they see.
I suspect a lot of it is
Disagree with Musk on Twitter => Musk Bad => SpaceX Bad => Video about SpaceX Something Bad
For some people the hate is strong and overwhelms other thoughts.
T-2:35 The crew enters the dragon. This made me smile. 😎 Gonna be an Awesome Launch. 🚀 USA ! USA ! USA !
Tony Stark when he met Elon Musk in Iron Man 2: (in 2010)
*Tony* "Hey Elon, what's good?"
*Tony* "Those Marlin Engines are fantastic"
*Elon* I got an idea for an electric Jet"
*Tony* "You do?" "Then we will make it work"
Sounds familiar? :')
tacit confirmation that Elon helped develop the Quinjet lol
Excellent video clips at each T time stamp.
Awsome, can't wait for livestream
If I have a zoom meeting during the demo 2 launch I’ll skip it for this historic launch.
Schedule a meeting for yourself now :)
I for one will be holding my breath until I'm about to turn blue :)
a little nod to Charlie there for space geeks ...
6 days is an awful long time to hold your breath :)
@@nebtheweb8885 that Charlie Duke reference obviously went over your head literally :)
8:49 I always feel bad for the guy when I see this clip
what actually happened during that clip?
@@shivamcholin6760 It looks like the guy went for a high five but got rejected.
He played it off well as a pat on the back tho lol
Don Koltz that was a nice save though
Great research and presentation.
This video is great. For people that don't know anything about rocket launches, this outlines all the phases in one concise video. That way they can enjoy the experience too! Definitely produce some of these as new mission profiles come to exist.
Hmmm, Is it just me.. Some footage of the crew in their flight suits and the video screens in the capsule dont half remind me of 2001 space odessey .. and is the onboard computer called H.A.L Dave ..?? 🤔
it's all a big show.
God Speed Space Dragon 🚀
We need the interstellar docking scene music with that launch
JOE HILL is the song that Unions will take into interstellar docking.
He never died.
Yes and yes to more of these shorter information packed videos!
Nicely done Tim, take a bow, sir.
Crew Dragon Crew: Let us in we have arrived.
Iss Crew: I am afraid a can't do that.
