Starship in 'Two Weeks' - Starliner When? - Deep Space Updates - May 23 

Why not beam it into orbit? 😊

It's even funnier when I imagine a captain writing this from the bridge of a Spacex Starship Enterprise orbiting alpha centauri.

Still having problems keeping the doors on.

​@@domoredujordanpretty sure It's going to be a long march starship as things are going

​@@Roguescienceguy It's been a long march, getting from there to here ...

Good luck with that, and godspeed!

Congrats on that test - it looks great! Ad Astra!

i dream to see a launch from Scotland! go go go!

Good luck RFA team. I am really looking forward to it.

God speed to The SSA Buckfast 1

I mean, the difference between crew and payload is just what we call them, really

Autowash!

Corbin Dallas Lives!

Someone has to tell the difference to me.

"Sorry we need meat popsicles"

Remember 'Space Frog'?! :D Our amphibian friends shall persevere!

They'd be saying - "Hey, the last one got rid of those big mouth breathers, wonder what this one will do for us."

After seeing the meteor, they immediately attacked the nearest humans, just because that's what geese do.

Scott Manley said that the meteor was only like 1% less bright than the sun, but according to wiki, "Magnitude values do not have a unit. The scale is logarithmic and defined such that a magnitude 1 star is exactly 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star. Thus each step of one magnitude is ≈ 2.512 times brighter than the magnitude 1 higher. The brighter an object appears, the lower the value of its magnitude, with the brightest objects reaching negative values."

The moment you noticed you actually recorded it

@@mammutMK2 and imagine there will be people saying that the teeneger knew what was about to happen because there is no way someone could have recorded it perfectly by accident 😀

@@LaggerSVK Yeah I first saw this on Instagram and I was sad to see so many people say it was fake.

Cameron got the name from the British military satellite Skynet.

I really wish I could give this comment multiple thumbs up!

And you can even see it in orbit from down here in Gilead...

This 'Sky Net' is a staring of big thing...

surprised it's not the chinese knock off 'NySket'

and we still don't have any recording of aliens or bigfoot

I will even make an exception for it being filmed vertically. Just this one time it had to be vertical.

100%

@@hbh3144Right? I swear, that little clip is so much good!

You reminded me of shot in some documentary where a guy explains that it was found that hydrogen and oxygen is the most energetic mix, and when you mix them and ignite "you get, this" while pointing at the launch pad at the exact moment of Voyager 2 launching

A real money shot. I wonder what the context was: Did these teens set up their phone like that by accident (i.e. planning to film something else entirely) or were they actually meaning to catch a "glimpse" of the meteor? -- For a phone at night the quality was really good. Also enjoyed the film-like reaction of the person in the frame when the atmosphere lit up.

I love this idea.

Many, many places should follow this example. You want to cut cost, you volunteer yourself on the trial run of whatever you just "improved"

It worked out pretty well for the Titan sub.

You're talking about a complete turnover! They only went in this alliance to acquire Lockheed Martin.

I think a lot of us feel that way Like, at this point it’s just another launch

Interesting yes, is this a good thing? No.

Some people still believe spacex rockets just explode because the media said so

whereas Starliner will be seat of the pants - lets hope something doesn't fall off.

@@lextacy2008 why is this bad?

"Oh no, not again!"

Cobra Chicken 1: "WTF Larry‽" Cobra Chicken 2: "My name's not Larry!"

Didn't he say it was ball lightning?

never underestimate Starliner's potential to surprise!

That is a distinct possibility, despite DreamChaser's recent delays... that Sierra Space team is highly motivated, morale seems great, and they know their engineering for sure

If I remember correctly, Dream Chaser was eliminated in the same bidding process that awarded Starliner and Crew Dragon. Afterwards, the concept was retooled and was awarded a commercial cargo contract a few years later. That there is a possibility now, that Dream Chaser might launch before a crewed Starliner mission is wild…

@@tombrauey You remember correctly! Yeah, Boeing being lapped by Sierra Space would be kind of a big deal for the people most intimately involved in it...

I remember back then when it was a real race between them, it seems silly now in retrospect

It's now competing with SLS as who embezzles more money

​@@marcogenovesi8570well, not exactly. Boeing got same type of contract as SpaceX regarding Starliner, and it's "fixed price" instead standard for legacy companies "cost+" . So they are burning Boeing own money. They are pushing starliner as if they don't deliver they will have to give back those money they cashed already. But afaik they just want to fill contract and drop this project eventually, and they DON'T accept any more fixed price contracts.

Remember when they got extra funding because they would be ready and flying way before Dragon.

Don't forget New Shepard! It was in that mix as well!

I still don’t get how “overcoming atmospheric friction” causes his ship to accelerate more.

@@ryanp0342 Gravity assist allows ships to accelerate more. However going to close to the planet means you get atmospheric friction. If your ship can overcome this you can get a much better gravity assist.

@@catprog No I get gravity assist it just doesn’t make any sense in this case. If you were driving a car from one hill down into a valley and then back up another hill. It would be analogous to someone going along the same road with the valley being 5’ lower with a brick wall at the bottom. And someone says if I can overcome the brick wall at the bottom we can go faster up the other hill

The fat girl episode where she repaired Crighton's module...not so believable.

Grift.

More Boeing problems.

and what it is giving us is lots of laughs and facepalms

...because making a crewed spacecraft is super easy.

@@marklindsey1995 *...barely an inconvenience!...*

Very cool I'm jealous. Couldn't see anything in Boston. It's worth noting though that northern Italy has a similar latitude as Nova Scotia (45°)

I unfortunately missed it (it might have been visible where I was but I didn’t know when to expect it and I was working night shift anyway), but my girlfriend who was flying home from Washington DC saw it from her plane. She got amazing photos out her window. I was so jealous of her lol.

@@zobblewobble1770 Don't worry bro, you're not the only one to miss it. I and many other are with you.

What school do you go to?

@@andrewparker318 TVHS I'm planning on being a aerospace engineer lmao IM tecniencly not wrong

@@The-python-guy oh no I wasn't being skeptical, I was just curious as to what college you were going to :D I go to Embry Riddle which has tons of people studying aerospace and I was curious if you maybe went to my school lol

@@andrewparker318same lol, DB or Prescott?

@@bengranby3664 Daytona Beach, hbu?

Love that book. Interesting to think that capability was impossible at the time it was written but completely possible now

I said CONSUMMATE Vees!

At first I thought this was supposed to be a joke about boeing chasing a dream and not reaching it then I remembered about dreamchaser. Definitely an interesting spacecraft, I'm looking forward to more news about it.

My bicycle is named “Thunderbird II” 😄

Their RU-vid channel is still active, sort of. They released a vid a week ago even.

It was likely magnesium and calcium.

Somewhat. There's a strong blue-green magnesium line or two in most fireballs/meteors. There's also usually a strong yellow sodium line, and sometimes a blue calcium line. However, sometimes there's a lot less sodium, and for chemical/plasma-physics/atmospheric reasons that are part complicated and part mysterious, faster-impacting fireballs that explode higher in the atmosphere tend to be bluer. So this one may have been lower in sodium, leaving it blue-green rather than solidly green with the yellow mixed in, and/or faster. The ESA has stated that it was likely a comet fragment, i.e more ice than silicate/carbonate rocks or iron. Comet chunks tend to hit at faster speeds. They may well be deriving that opinion in part from its color.

Thanks for the explanation sir​@@HypoceeYT

That rust orange exhaust can't be good.

It's perfectly normally toxic (which is to say, quite toxic) 😄 It's UDMH with IRFNA - Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine with inhibited red fuming nitric acid as the oxidizer. Look those two terms up on wiki if you want to know more :)

@@PinataOblongata Wut? Who came up with fuming nitric acid for an oxidizer? Villian in James Bond movie?

Just like their Government.

oh no it's normally that toxic

For Starliner? Starship 4?

@@lethargogpeterson4083 Starliner, Starship is scheduled to launch on June 5th.

Do you remember his xenonauts run or am I the only one?

@@Alphacheesehunter that rings a bell, is it still around? ah, yes the XCOM we have at home XD jk, i should definitely get it now that i'm an adult :p

@xymaryai8283 It is! They're making a second one. I'm waiting for a bit but I still play the first on and off. I play xcom and xenonauts but something always brings me back to xenonauts.

(...taking notes for my own Albuquerque trip...)

The question I have is why this was not detected in the factory before it was placed on the rocket. I have worked with helium and it is not hard to detect leaks. There is no good reason for this to have gone undetected until right after the launch. Helium is used to force furel through the thrusters. Potentially if you loose too much helium while in orbit it would have not been capable of manuverig and slowing for reentry. Potentially leaving astronauts stranded in low earth orbit.

@@stevenf1678 Depends on when it started and the leak rate was so small and slow that it was not a danger to a craft designed to stay on orbit for months. Plus they have the ability to isolate that particular thruster or the whole string, if need be, and still have enough redundancy to maneuver or perform a deorbit burn.

Transferring fuel between tanks inside the same ship isn't the success people think it is.

very rude of them to release all that AFTER Scott just published this video... tsk tsk, lol

So both in flight 2 and 3 the booster was lost due to a suspected filter blockage. I wonder what they think is blocking filters here.

@@ThatOpalGuy the success is this has never been attempted with cryogenic fuels and at this scale: 10 tonnes of transfer. A small but important first step in the long road to orbital refuelling.

Damn, someone really needs to stop leaving those blue shop towels in the tanks, SMH

Yup😉🍆

Osteoporosis...

It’s when I recorded it
