Long retired airline/general aviation pilot here. I'm glad to hear your still flying. It's all about knowing your energy and situational awareness which should be easy for you. Only one safety rule to remember; " it's better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here". The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
Reminds me of the three things a pilot can't use: the altitude above you, the runway behind you, and the fuel you left on the ground.
There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots.
My favorite uncle died flying an ultralight plane :(
"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire" I have to remember that one :D
{snicker}🤣
The LOFTID test wasn't just a test of a possible way to send bigger payloads to Mars, it was also a subscale demonstrator for ULA's planned SMART engine module recovery scheme. It's why ULA partially went in with NASA on the flight test. And that test so far appears to be 100% successful, which makes it the first ever orbital and hypersonic inflatable decelerator to work all the way through.
I did it in KSP 5 years ago 😎
Yeah!
Now if we could make something reusable for that
Maybe mars could have something like a orbital station for landing and take off
Either way, I'm really looking forward to the future development of this technology.
Is the inflatable heat shield reusable? What is NET cost savings?
I've been following this for a while and am delighted with the news. I really hope there will be no problems in how it will perform at full scale.
I saw "Good Night Oppy" in the cinema 6 days ago. Highly recommended. It is amazing how this documentary is able to evoke emotion, both for the humans that invested so much of their life in these rovers, and for the little rovers themselves. Especially when Opportunity finally dies after 15 earth years, I couldn't help but shed a few tears. But life goes on, and the documentary ends with the people at JPL building and launching their next rover: Curiosity.
It's going to be more bittersweet when the scientists working on Voyager (both 1 and 2) will finally have to say goodbye to them when either the RTGs cannot put out any more power or the big 70-meter DSN dishes cannot pick up their 20-some watt signals anymore. Voyager 1 itself will, by 2024, be 1 light day from Earth, meaning at a single bit of data will take 24 hours to go from Voyager 1 to a 70-meter DSN antenna, and vice-versa from JPL, via the DSN 70-meter antennas, back to Voyager 1. To top it off, there are still some scientists and engineers from the Grand Tour portion of the program (1977-1989) that are still at JPL (although most from the beginning of the program are either now retired or have died).
@@rwboa22 that last part is always wild to me. Dedicating so much of one’s life to a single project is inspiring
@@rwboa22 😢
18:39 As a pilot, it’s neat seeing a plane go by the eclipse, and zooming by as if to say “Pardon me! Just passing through!” 🙂
Hey Scott! It looks like we have matching scars now. I hope you weren't too hurt. I got mine between the eyes way back when I was taking flight training for my PPL. Walked right into a feathered prop!
Thanks for all you do!
Fly (and walk ) safe!
What happened to him?
Not sure, I just noticed what looked like a fresh scar right between his noble brows.
Scott, what I like about your deep space updates is the chronological order in which you discuss all the launches. Unlike some other channels, you don't prioritise launches from certain countries first in your videos.
Yeah, he keeps it remarkably politics free, which I appreciate.
Maybe it's just because I'm so incredibly OLD, but I am always struck, in these deep-space updates, by just how many launches there are going on. In the 1950s and 60s it was international news any time there was one single space launch. Now, they are so commonplace that Scott has trouble fitting them all into one review program - covering just a few weeks. We have moved into a new age.
The electron on the pad reminds me of when you see stick figure arms drawn on inanimate objects.
Cant believe he didn't mention the heat shield concept has been in KSP for however long
The inflatable heat shield has been featured in a number of scifi since at least the 80s and it's awesome to see the tech is actually viable IRL
@@declan2775 Agreed, just thought giving his history with the game.
KSP has a *lot* of real-world parts (or close imitations of them). It's neat when the game parts are slightly ahead of reality, and we nicely catch up with the Kerbals.
The first time I heard about the concept was on NASA TV 10+ years back. At that time, they were still in an early stage but they had a working prototype and were busy refining it.
I live in Phoenix and I was blown away that I could see the launch from here. I knew it was technically possible given the right lighting conditions, but it was way cool to see it actually happen!
When you said "Molniya orbit", I understood "Mjölnir orbit" and was very excited to learn what that was! 😅

I was actually at the Antares NG-18 launch! it was the first launch I've ever seen in person. The most unfortunate part was that it disappeared into the clouds in around 35 seconds. (and that someone stood in front of me :/)
Falcon heavy launch gave me KSP "pressed the spacebar too soon" flashbacks.
Cant wait to watch the first SLS launch with my grandchildren when i get old.
bruh 💀
Inflatable heat shields make me think of the Alexei Leonov aerobreaking into orbit around Jupiter in 2010.
I will choose to interpret this as reality.
@@12pentaborane All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there.
Jove-braking? Nevermind, its athmospheric braking either way. Love that movie and book.
9:31 to 9:36 This looks way too much like a 50's Sci Fi movie. I'm expecting to see Godzilla pop out of the ocean. Oh no, they say, he's got to go. . .. . Go go Godzilla, yeah . . .Oh no, there goes Tokyo . . . Go go Godzilla, yeah
The Falcon heavy double landing was so cool to see, Scott had mentioned it but it was still so cool seeing one rocket light from the other rocket, and as usual, the awesome double landing
Saw the Falcon 9 sunset trail from Vegas! Truly spectacular.
I did my check ride for private pilot in May. The handful of flights since then have been incredible. Night flying is so beautiful and peaceful. Good luck and “fly safe” Scott!
JPL has had so much stuff go/going up this last year and next that I'm surprised their only "failures" have been project delays. The Artemis launch alone is going to put up 8 new spacecraft to be tracked by the DSN in addition to the main spacecraft. It's going to be like tracking a volley of grapeshot. I'm surprised the schedulers haven't rage-quit with all the launch slips and associated recalculation of sequences of events for all the cubesats going up with it.
I heard a while back that battery life / need for swaps if enough launches are scrubbed etc is an issue for the Small Satellites Launching with Artemis 1. Is this still the case or were they able to charge (and/or swap) the batteries in the Cube Sats since then?
"You're going to say it's impossible and then I'm going to make a speech about the blinding capabilities of the JPL team and then you're going to do the math in your head and say something like, 'the overtime alone will be a nightmare'"
the problem is not that they have delays, the problem is in the reasons why they have delays and that they dont want to address those issues
@@jedivm1 that's what we get when politicians control the whole thing. Nothing like being a private company for sure.
@@Splarkszter I just forsee that all jpl projects will get delayed, which is a shame..
Thanks for the news, Scott! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I work on EGS for Artemis. There's a lot of misinformation about the wind speed data out there that people are throwing around. What's often misunderstood is the wind speed tolerances are different at various heights. The max detected was 86mph at the 120 foot level. All was within design limits. There was minor damage noticed to ground systems / cameras but SLS fared pretty well.
Can we really be assured this is not going to be like another Challenger with all of these stresses put on the rocket on the launch pad in terms of how the rocket performs after being subjected to this? I was hearing worse wind speed numbers before, so I am assuming that was mis-information from what is being said here. Granted Challenger was a cold snap that negatively affected the rocket where this is mechanical stress and possible water intrusion due to high winds. I am just concerned because I have heard much of the same before complete with much of the same 1970's technology and last time around it didn't end well.
@@ChaJ67 Better to find out on this flight than one with crew. That was one problem with the Space Shuttle is that every flight had to have astronauts, it could not fly fully autonomous. So every new mod could only be tested on a crewed flight. Or to your point testing in cold weather.
@@StevePemberton2 I am mainly hoping they don't take out too much ground equipment as the SLS can make a mighty boom with all of that hydrogen in its tanks.
@@ChaJ67My concern is that none of the delays so far has pushed the launch back to daytime. Night launches are okay in person but not on TV.
I am one of the people who always wants Scott to say Canadarm because it’s the best name in the history of spaceflight
Eh!
Next a giant hockey stick to clean up space junk. Dead satellite, bonk! De-orbits into the Pacific toilet hole....GOOOOAAALLLL!
That bloody Long March first stage passed over my place (Melbourne, Australia) several times on it's last few orbits. I was slightly worried we were going to see it very close up and very warm indeed!
I don’t feel the need to report on either Chinese or Russian rockets. Don’t give them airtime. But ok they doo get “airtime”…, 🚀
Love rockets, not regimes.
Love these updates though. As a Swede of course I saw the MATS launch ☺️
@@tomryner5830 Nah, I'm extremely interested in hearing about the progression of the Chinese space station. They're becoming a real contender for NASA and ESA and the likes.
My guess for the weird stage-sep attitude for Antares was an overpreforming 1st stage, so the upper stage decided that the best way to cancel that out was to flip retrograde, than flip prograde. (Like you did with the KSP electron. ;)
There was something wrong with the staging and faring deploy, pieces of acoustic blanket were stuck in one of pivots of flex array mechanism. (This was know days before this video.)
The space news is getting pretty packed lately. About time.
Kerbal space program players: ive seen this heat shield before
NASA: what do you mean you've seen this before it's brand new!
I remember hearing about the inflatable heat shield concept from the one back like 13 or so years ago. Was so excited about it and was wondering what happened to that project. So happy to see this concept still be pursued
Sweet! A ballute system being tested! Thank you gundam for the inspiration.
Another truly amazing podcast. Thanks for all the wonderful work.
Hearing the brief mention of Atwater and Castle was a treat. Always cool to hear the hometown get a shout out.
Thank you for the update
Ty @Scott Manley for these superb Space updates!! 💯❤️🔥
Great way to highlights # Thank you Scott!
Wow! All that under 20 mins! Well done! So much cool stuff to cover!
Thanks for all the launch updates!
Thanks for the update Scott it is really getting crowded up there.
Thank you, Scott, for the latest update on the world of spaceflight. There seems nowhere else that I can get a concise summary of the world's activities in space.
love to see a graph of rocket launch frequency over time. used to be a handful per year now we are working towards a handful per day!
Thanks for correctly referring to the 'Canadarm".
The mention of Atwater perked my ears up! Both of my sons were born at Castle AFB, now Castle airport. 😁
Watched the Falcon Heavy, Antares and Atlas; booster landing on USSF44 was perfect! I wouldn't even think that would even succeed.
Saw the partial solar eclipse too.
thanks for another great show!
9:19 - This is awesome. I watched the live stream of the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) like seven years ago and it was a success but then the project seemed to go nowhere. I assume this is its successor!
IRVE 3 was the previous hiad test flight, it was launched on a sounding rocket out of wallops. Loftid is the successor to it.
Since we in the Great White North do not have our own launch capability (yet) we like to hear "Canada Arm" vs. Robot Arm. We are planning to build a launch facility in Canso Nova Scotia though.
Without the Canadarms there would be no ISS, and Hubble would now be an abandoned piece of space junk. They have performed flawlessly.
Got to see the eclipse here in South Australia. Was pretty cool.
Thanks Scott 👍
Thanks for the heads up on the Spirit/Opportunity documentary!
I got to see the Atlas V launch from Morro Bay... it lit up the horizon even that far away, and I swear I could hear the engines rumbling... might've just been the wind though.
Thank you so very much Mr,Manley😎🤙🙏
A heatshild made from wowed ceramic fiber(the outer layer of LOFTID was covered with this kind of material ) is also more lightweight and resistant to cracks than rigid tile chosed for starship and space shuttle.
Reusable?
@@gordonstewart5774 absolutely if you want, but how easy would be depends if the insulation and sealing material aren't damaged.
Here in the San Fernando Valley, we saw the Falcon launch from Vandenberg. We saw the stage separation and, with 10x binoculars, the fairing separation. I hadn't known that the rocket was going to turn east, so the turn was a surprise. My wife and I were really excited about seeing it, as we had missed the Atlas launch.
Thanks Scott
I was desperately waiting for a deep space update.
19:17 Pretty Impressive Monobrow Scott.
Thank you for this video! It was really interesting.
Thanks, now I feel current.
You know we're space geeks when we get excited about the inflatable heat shield.😄
Thank You Scott, always interesting.
Phew - that was a busy one! Thanks 😃
I saw those inflatable heat shield balloons at the Advanced Structures & Composites Center at University of Maine at Orono. They are (or were at the time) made from a wood composite material. Pretty cool to see them fly.
I'm always fascinated by your magnificent Saturn V and Launch Tower Lego sculptures (covet covet).
I was a sophomore in high school in 1969. I've seen the Saturn stack in Houston twice so I grasp its scale, with its entire mission being focused on that almost-invisible conical CM, the rest being burnt, crashed or abandoned to orbit and even *it* never being used again.
What I have a hard time with is visualizing an actual scale comparison between the Starship/Orbital Booster stack & "Mechazilla" vs. your Lego S-V. I *hear* "Starship is yea taller and yea rounder and the mandibles are yea long" but I can't *see* it yet! I have a hard time visualizing the amount of actual living space, cargo space, fuel tankage we can expect from Starship compared to something familiar.
I urge you to commission someone (with a 3D printer and a knowledge of debugging or editing .stl files) to build a Lego-scale Starship to match your Saturn. "No single spacecraft project in this time period would be more impressive to RUclipskind, nor more important to the long-term comparison of living space."
I really enjoy and heavily rely upon your programming! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date!🖖
thank you
Gilmour Space in Australia has just completed qualification testing on their engines, ready for their first orbital launch next year
Always, good info.
Cool.. I've been waiting to see LOFTID!! :)
A very handy tech - not the most aesthetic solution, but practical enough!!
I have some fond memories of Merced Airport and cross countries. Still have my champ in the garage. Fabric is shot and the radios... work but can't be used.
Last summer SpaceX did a rare southern trajectory,, it flew right by perfectly lit by the sunset.. an inspiring sight to see.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
The recent lunar eclipse was actually a double eclipse. While the Earth eclipsed the Moon, the Moon also eclipsed Uranus at the same time. I've seen NHK News report this (I'm studying Japanese), but I don't think I've seen anyone else mention it (but of course I could have missed it). Too bad, this is the first double lunar eclipse in over 400 years.
I finally got to see a SpaceX launch, I was driving down i5 towards LA and had not even realized that there was a Vandy launch, but I saw the rocket and got real excited! Lol
First SpaceX I have seen flying, though I have visited Hawthorne and posed with the retired F9, and I have seen one in transport on the 215 going through Riverside (they just KEEP GOING AND GOING when they are passing you! Lol).
And the great thing was, that was my very last trip to LA for that job, so pretty much my last chance to see one without making a long and special trip!
I saw the October 20th Falcon launch from way up here in Reno, NV!
Hi Scott!
The boosters separate from the center stage at slightly different times. I wonder if that contributed to their slightly different Landing times.
Thanks
Canad Arm! Thank you Scott
would be amazing if you could do a seperate in-depth video about LOFTID
Great video as usual. The Sally ride rocket. Did someone see the commitments film where the most famous quote is “Ride, Sally ride”. Has to be from that 😂
Yeah it was a joke because her long curly hair never floated up like those iss clowns. Words song " MUST-ang DOWN "
That SpaceX launch was visible clear out in central New Mexico, Albuquerque specifically. I got to see it from my front porch.
LOL!! Rocketlab's chopper lost sight of the "ball" and had run-scream away with arms flailing.
Working on a Saturday morning, my client just texted 20 min late, perfect!🥰 thank u scott
Scott, would you do a video on possible rocket engines that dont use chemical reactions? Things like the ion engine are interesting yet still only usable for space probes only.
Hi Scott, it would be very interesting to this layman if you would explain Delta V. Thanks, really enjoy your channel!
Hi I'm not Scott but I'll give it a shot. Delta-V or 'change in velocity' is a measure of how far your rocket will be able to go. Not how fast, but how far it will go. It's a function of your engine efficiency and how much fuel you have in the rocket. The more efficient the rocket (specific impulse, measured in seconds), the more delta-v, and the further your rocket will go.Hope this helps.
Excellent Reporting 🖖🏼
Hey Scott, congratulations on getting your pilot's license. Fly Safe!
*I* was informed by my FBO that the license is really just your learner's permit, that any flight you don't learn something, you weren't paying close enough attention.
I forgot every part in KSP was based off a real life part or concept, it's cool to see they finally brought this one out into the prototype stage.
That was a busy week, thanks for the recap
Can you do a dedicated video on the TianGong station? Now that the hardware is completed what kinds of science can be done and future upgrades such as the space telescope being launched next year. I know each module can support 3 astronauts but it’s not clear what the total the station can handle. It seems like 9 is the absolute max but they won’t have 9 at the same time during long duration missions.
Sir, you missed LVM3 launch from sriharikota india of ISRO. Launched in the early hours of 22nd Oct
You might consider hosting a podcast. I know it takes extra time, but so much researching and editing these videos!
The isolation foam coming off the Long March looks pretty odd. Gives the impression of the whole rocket falling apart.
I absolutely love that they named that Antares Sally Ride! The solar panel issue doesn't look to be fixed, yet, though, and that's a bummer.
There's some good news and some bad news, both in this, though. A real mixed bag. I am glad they're making a regular, concerted effort to recover boosters and such, though, rather than just wasting all the resources.
Thanks, Scott!
12:05 - Firefly Reaver engine.
Well GORRAM!! That's freakin shiny!!! :D
Scott, you need to cover the Artemis 1 launch they did today!
Rather saddened to see the last mighty atlas launch. What an iconic vehicle that was.
Last on the West coast - still many more in Florida
@@scottmanley Ah good - I must have misheard. Thanks, Scott!
Thanks for the recap of all recent launches. I have 3 questions you may have answered in previous videos?
1 - internationally, how do countries distinguish between a rocket going to space and a potential ICBM disguised as a rocket launch?
2 - At the rate these satellites launch, how do communications work to ground, is each satellite assigned a channel? Surely there all using a similar frequency spectrum? Is it like a ground based cell tower communication system?
3 - What was all the degree falling off that first rocket. Obviously it was normal, but was it really just all ice as it seemed a lot?
Many thanks. Rob.
That inflatable heat shield is sooo kerbal!
Wow what an update! Hahha So many thing being launched. Thanks for the updates! Cheers!
3:28 Hard because we have to return to base. One can imagine a mature Industry where boosters could be returned in multiple locations around the globe and refurbished on site before a couple of launches could bring them back to base.
That inflatable heat shield looks a bit like the concept for a one astronaut emergency reentry shield. When will we have the first person parachuting from orbit I wonder? 🙂
9:19 they used something like this in a anime called Gundam. I didn’t think they actually tried this technology already. Pretty neat 👍👍👍
I figure the Falcon Heavy core stage could be derived from Space-X's most used rockets.
Edit: I meant core booster.
Not necessarily, the core booster actually has different structural requirements than a regular F9 and hence has to be unique
@@osirisapex7483 gosh dawnnit, I was thinking of that possibility after I posted the comment. Lol thanks
