As a civil servant, he’s required to remain neutral between companies; so he can’t be seen to be automatically favoring SpaceX, as some of the questions automatically seemed to do. Plus, he’s probably worried about morale problems at Boeing (for good reason). - Dave Huntsman
Oh no Boeing feelings are hurt because their incompetence is on full display. Coddling them is definitely the answer. I get needing redundancy but no need to rush a program that’s already 4 years late. It is not about NASA’s need, it’s about Boeing’s finances. They are losing more and more until they can regularly fly Starliner successfully and get paid. No more cost plus mean Boeing (and ULA) must dramatically change or get out of the space business and make room for other companies.
It's not impossible, you could get micrometeor strikes on dragon and then you have no return ride. Or they may discover in refurbishment an previously undiscovered issue that causes risks with dragon essentially "grounding" them => crew cant ride dragon down.
So you're telling me in an emergency that required the use of the manual steering in starliner will actually get even more dangerous for the fact the spacecraft can't deal with manual control properly?
With the Falcon 9 being cleared now Polaris Dawn can happen soon. The most important space flight this year after the attempted catch of the booster on Starship flight 5.
This is necessary to rescue our stranded astronauts. I think it's more likely by the day that the Falcon 9 will be utilized to get our astronauts back home.
Elysia is such a bright and cheerful person it's always a pleasure to watch her reports. If she isn't really that bright and cheerful...then she's a hell of an actress!
Elysia, you are the best! These are great pics of Mars! However.....those little dots of olivine look suspiciously like the little dots of combined metal formed during welding on Earth! The high heat and energy environment needed to create them on Mars was likely available during a plasma arc event, which is accounted for by the Electric Universe Theory.
I wonder if Elysia or Alex gets the pun token for moving in the right direction? The delightful mirth that Elysia displayed has me guessing it was Alex and she had to cover up the internal groan while presenting it. Thank you both; it put a smile on my face.
Boeing has been doing thruster testing at White Sands to reproduce the problems in this flight, and is now examining the degraded test thruster on the ground. It's absolutely untrue that they're doing nothing.
Did you even listen to the press conference? They’ve been running tests at White Sands. In addition, they tore down the Service Module they had pressurized and in storage there to examine the valves and that gave valuable data. Pay attention, please. - Dave Huntsman
@@dphuntsman still less progress than Falcon 9 had in 1 week But you’re correct, I didn’t listen to the conference itself😂just saw some parts of it and this video
As always a very good and informative video😻, but above all I also celebrate the news about Chinese space travel!👍 Please more of it or at least continuously.🙏
Sheesh. Another New Shepard launch. How exciting. YAWN! Fingers crossed that New Glenn gets off the ground successfully in late September. Thank you Elysia for TWIS.
Really interesting to see how painfully slow NASA plods along on every aspect of its spaceflight program vs. SpaceX’s consistently high-energy pace. SpaceX is so far ahead of all the others . . .
Haaaaa so onnit...1st to like again.....recently some pics/videos shared by NSF weren't awesome; instead they were stunning. Just what we followers want.
3:25 "Future Starliner missions" A bit optimistic that there will be more missions, aren't you? After it took three tries to launch this one, only for it to have problems in orbit and stranding two people there for weeks. 🤣
The description of the fuel missing and casting and such was wonderful. I could probably watch hours of content about that process. The Chandra segment was beautiful, and tragic, given it's current budget status. Very wasteful, imo. (I understand NASA is trying to do what it can with what it has. Congress is to blame, imo.)
That video on Space Shuttle close calls came in the right moment, so we can see how cover ups were common @ NASA. Hopefully they will come to their senses and prioritize Butch and Sunni's wellbeing over Boeing's conveniences and bring them home safely.
After the hotfiring Starliner will be unsafe for crew...why do such a test in orbit that was never done on the ground. Even the idea is ludicrous let alone doing it, with no thought about overall safety of the ISS and astronauts.
I'd really really like to know what all the issues the Crew Dragon capsule has had over the years... Or has it actually had a flawless run and _that's_ why I don't recall hearing about any issues?? I'm open to even hear about ones that were on Cargo Dragon. I'm just trying to fairly put Boeing's calamities into perspective... 😅 We know Boeing has bungled just about everything these last 10 (20?) years, but I'm wondering if this amount of issues are unique to their poor management of just because space really is hard still. 🥴
Didn't the pilot insist on manual control during the flight up? Does this then question both his competence and the validity of manual mode of the craft. All round this vehicle and the mission is a colossal waste of time and money and super dangerous as a bonus.
@@davidmclean357 That’s truly the issue; but I think it’s more because, in all honesty, Boeing plainly has just not committed to being in commercial human spaceflight unless the government is paying ALL the money for it. And that’s not what ‘commercial’ means. I honestly don’t think beyond satisfying the current NASA contract for flights they’ll follow SpaceX and self-invest to make it a true reality. They’ll quit sooner if there are any serious problems, in my view. They just don’t believe in the subject- or their own program. (I’m talking the senior executives, now; not the working-level engineers working their asses off on this). - Dave Huntsman
Congress: Actually Nasa we think you should reconsider shutting down Chandra Nasa: Ok, will we be getting more budget to cover it? Congress: Hahahahaha.....No.
Ironically the blatant copy of Falcon by Chinese companies reminded me of _good 'ol China_ which used to copy everything from the West, back to that phase are we China? lol
The Shuttle video referenced: ua-cam.com/video/MZptbxaHBIA/v-deo.html
A no launch week!😱 Thanks for filling in the episode with enlightening info Elysia and NSF team!
I litterly laughed out loud on " starliner may rescue dragon". Yeah ok.

I laughed too, scared my dog.
Thanks Elysia and NSF team, great update.
Let’s get back to launches!!
Yeah! I miss all the guys and live streams.
So you're telling me in an emergency that required the use of the manual steering in starliner will actually get even more dangerous for the fact the spacecraft can't deal with manual control properly?
Thank you Elysia. Appreciate the Friday updates
Awesome! Time to set our eyes back to that 144 launch goal!!!
Amazing that in all the years, the shuttle flew less than this year goal for SpaceX.
@@dustinfleming7083 Really is amazing!
Who knows maybe next year SpaceX will hit 300 launches! 😂
That experiment on the Blue Joyride sounds very Kerbal.

Great TWIS Thank you Elysia! Thank you NSF!!
The audio was better (less harsh) this week. Thank you Elysia and team!

Best space news videos out there
It WOULD be beautiful to have two systems to back each other up, provided they both WORKED...
Love the moon and stars earrings

Thanks. Love to hear what Lueders is saying.
Great news!
Thanks Elysia! 🤗
good to see falcon 9 returning to flight
Well done, as always.🤩
Resupply mission with a crew rated Dragon might be the answer.
13"59 LIFE ON MARS HYPE
Falcon 9 had a failure, made 10’s of tests in McGregor and is now ready to launch. In the same time Boeing did nothing

When is the last time there was a no launch week?
Every time she said “The Rock” I had a picture of Dwayne Johnson in my head. :D Thanks for the great recap!
Yay!
Thanks, great range of topics. Wonder if they're at the old Thiokol facility in Utah
That would be so embarassing if they had to return in a dragon capsule xD
its just unconscionable how they keep trying to downplay how bad starliner being up there at all is
Is there a reason they use helium instead of heavier noble gases in these thrusters. Why wouldn’t gases like neon and xenon be less likely to leak?
Outstanding. Let's go
Ain’t a static fire test on the Starliner throwout the orbit of the space station when it’s inertia..?😮🚀🛸😧🤔
well, its better to have 2 dragons, than 1 dragon and 1 starliner and be a backup for each other
As always a very good and informative video😻, but above all I also celebrate the news about Chinese space travel!👍
Please more of it or at least continuously.🙏

3:00 Plot twist: Starliner accidently deorbited ISS.

They are insane to even contemplate using that vehicle for people. But NASA is able to make decisions like that.
What about Polaris Dawn mission? 31 july as planned?
No longer on July 31st

What is the image at 15:17 ?
Did she say starliner space crap in the beginning of the video?
"It's like a mini-Falcon 9..." Don't mince words, NSF. It's a scaled down copy of Falcon 9.
The best part is no part!
Boeing and NASA: “But everything’s fine… nothing to see here. How dare you ask.”

As far as I'm aware spacex only had a toilet problem on the crew dragon
Starliner needs to be cancelled. Send a dragon to bring them home safely.
What an exciting time to be alive!🎉
S Bacon and K Cook in the olypics now. Do Jack aprove?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
SLS just goes up. End of story.
I would hope so for a program that started in 2010 and has cost $24 Billion ($50 Billion with Orion & ground systems included)
Send crew dragon to bring them home safe

Lovely; young lady.

Mars had all those imaginary sky beings living there!
😊
copying falcon 9 AND Bezos' company name jeez
If they have found OLIVINE on Mars then they can make HAR-TRU and use to make tennis courts on MARS!!!!
Boeing investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong.
Safe and effective.
Great video

"DEEP BLUE AEROSPACE??" 😄😅😂😆🤣
THEY'RE EVEN STEALING THE NAMES ON TOP OF OUR US SPACE TECHNOLOGY?? 😄😅😂😆🤣
I feel like the whole using dragon or starliner to back up each other is disingenuous given seat/spacesuit/connector compatibility issues.
You misunderstand. The point is to build up a competitive industry- which requires more than one competitor.
@@dphuntsman well the launch cadence evidence makes me question if that goal will ever be successful.
