At age 76 now, i was glued to my TV for all the Apollo launches and the run-up thereto. The TV networks then did a great job of covering those launches and the commentary was fantastic from the "big three" networks. There was, of course, no internet or cable channels at the time, but the coverage was VERY good.
The Saturn V was bordering on a miracle. It was as reliable as a framing hammer despite being all new tech. From design to flight in 6 years! Compare that to SLS 😂🤣
I realize that there's only so much that folks can do, but if a viewer misses a scrub or other launch announcement during a stream, there's practically no way to learn about when or why it happened even seconds afterward. I wind up having to listen to the final half hour or more of a broadcast to find out when a launch was scrubbed and what reason, if any, was given. Putting text on the screen after such announcements (any that involve launch time, etc) might help both live and later viewers to find that information. A bottom scroll is fine for this, but announcement should use larger fonts for announcements than for questions. Many people are watching on small screens. During a launch opportunity of any rocket, there's no practical way to tune in and find out what's actually happening as official or unofficial streams are spending time talking to guests or answering questions. That's fine and necessary, but it causes tons of people to keep asking the same questions about "when's the launch?" or "what's the hold?" Anything you guys can think of to help with this for both real-time and later viewers would be much appreciated, as I often check 3-5 streams trying to find out what's going on and all of them are understandably trying to pass the time until they know more, etc. A "what we know" on-screen statement might be useful. The EA Launch Schedule can certainly help, but it's never clear whether a launch time on a web page is being updated in real time or not. Thanks for everything that you do.
So cool to get to hear from Chris on the livestream! Even though there was a scrub, we got a little treat today! Awesome to experience the launch from his perspective!
So good Tim. Amazing to get 1) Your music played on the Rocket Lab livestream 2) Your sticker on ISS, and 3) Flamey end down, pointy-end up on the Rocket Lab checklist! All great achievements. You deserve it. Love your dedication to long form deep educational videos. It puts you a step above the other UA-camrs, but I love them all!
I was nine years old and in a summer school classroom when the teacher announced we were all to go to the auditorium for a special presentation. I had no idea what to expect. We were all seated and then another teacher rolls in the biggest TV I ever saw on a tall cart and rolls it into place immediately in front of the stage. That was around 8:30 in the morning. The TV was plugged in and turned on and the roughly 150 of us filling the front seats could barely see what was on the TV. I was lucky being third row and almost in the center. They turned the speakers up all the way. I heard Walter Cronkite's familiar voice. Normally it was evening when I heard him, not that early on a Wednesday morning. One of the teachers told us what was going on but we could tell from what Walter Cronkite was saying. Then as it got closer to the time he would update us telling us how soon it would be. Then the auditorium went dead silent when they started the count down. Suddenly: "LIFT OFF!" and we heard the roar and saw flames come out of the bottom as the powerful rocket went up and up and we all stood up as it did and we cheered so loud we could no longer hear the TV. I was 13 that cold December evening when we saw the Apollo 17 astronauts return and it was also announced that it will likely be the last Apollo mission. I was in shock. I could not believe such a great nation would just simply give up on the ultimate dream of our species, space travel. For 1256 days in my youth I desperately wanted to be an astronaut. On December 19 1972 that dream died. 12 men have walked on the moon. In 1969 I never imagined I would have to wait over 50 years to see person #13 follow in those small steps for man. Thank-you to everyone involved in making this happen and for bringing back to life an old man's dream even if vicariously. Bravo and God Speed!
You should have bet a lot more. Most of us here on the Cape Canaveral side knew it would never launch the first time. Historically NASA is never on time and consistently billions over budget, but that's NASA for you. NASA is the well-known million-dollar eating machine, except for this time, she's chewing up billions, and just like with the shuttle launches, it costs millions to reset a scrubbed launch. I stayed until they mentioned the engine problems, looked at the weather, and packed up before the hours-long traffic started. That's the other big item to watch for on Friday. NASA will never launch with storms nearby which is justified, but we're in that afternoon pattern of storms building daily. Sucks to be all of those people that came out for nothing, but I guess we'll try it again Friday. I have to admit that I've never seen the thousands of cars on the NASA causeway and dozens of busses lined up like I did today. That was pretty impressive. Winners today were Cape, Kennedy, and local law enforcement of Brevard county doing an amazing job managing so many vehicles. Shout out to you guys. Really looking forward to seeing Musk successful with his moon rocket. If it goes like his previous ventures he'll put NASA out of the moon and Mars launching business.

Great return to these huge rocket launches. I'm 65 and still admire space exploration. Congratulations to NASA ground control, the scientists and technical experts and our brilliant and brave astronauts on this next generation lunar exploration adventure.

Tim, great job, always on the leading edge of coverage for us "everyday" joe's and joe'ette's watching from the sideline to see the worlds most powerful rocket (for now) go...pointy end up and flamey end down. Keep up the great work.
Sorry to disappointment you guys. The Artemis is not the most powerful rocket of all time, that record is held by the Russians (Former Soviet Union USSR) Block 1 of the legendary N1 rocket.
YT didn't present this stream until after it had ended, so I didn't hear if there was anything to say about the new transmitto-van. I'm looking forward to hearing about an update on it.
Did i catch that there are 3 problems? 1) stress cracks in insulation foam 2) hydrogen leak from same place as dress rehearsal 3) non-responsive engine
By the time they fix these 3 issues, which may take several years, more problems may come up because the rocket will be several years older. I worry eventually they need to throw this rocket away and build a new one. I hope I’m wrong. I hope they can launch soon
@@mananself I’m optimistic they will launch on Friday. Tons and tons of work hours have been put into this test flight. Better to have delays than a failure. I mean, look at James Webb. Years and years of delays, and now its taking the most breathtaking photos we will ever see.

I watched the end of the stream on my phone this morning, so I didn't get to see the beautiful high quality video. Just now looking at it in 2160 and it's the most beautiful rocket I've ever seen
It might be different for a rocket launch, but for general content I strongly prefer 60 fps, and will choose 1080p60 over 2160p30 in most cases. The motion feels so much more fluid and natural. Most people are too far away from their screens to see a meaningful difference between 1080p and 4k.

Not too excited about NASA's future when you look at their historical record of overbudget and late projects that are never ready to launch on launch day. Bill Nelson is cashing his checks at the bank every day and loving it.
@@supheroai but is also needed for these lunar missions in joint contract with SpaceX. It’s less expensive to scrub the launch than blow the rocket to pieces.
@@unclefart5527 "we are gathering more data..." tech speech for saying...we don't know how to fix whatever and will figure out how to fix it...in the mean time give us 2 billion more to build another one...
@@bewArcher amazing how negative everyone is without knowing how truly complex these vehicles are. SLS is one of three Super Heavy-lift launch vehicles in the world right now. THREE. Just shut up and be patient. Without NASA and SLS we wouldn’t be going to the moon whatsoever. SpaceX and NASA have a joint contract together to get humans back on the moon and eventually build a base. We need SLS.
Most of us are merely geeks and non-experts in rocketry but having unforeseen issues cropping up during countdown leave us desperate for information/updates/analysis and not just a spectator with good cameras.
No surprise there. That's typical NASA for you, but Bill Nelson cashed his fat check today. Millions in resetting everything just like with the shuttle and its payday all over again.
Thank you and your team for your very hard work to make this happen Tim. Been looking forward to seeing this launch for soooo long. Love the new van. Now we know where you have been hiding for the last few months.😀 Team Space now in HD all the way to orbit😀😀🚀🚀. See you on the next one, better a scrub than a RUD!!
Sad we couldn't see Artemis launch today but it was nice seeing and hearing from Chris again! Inspiration4 had a really big impact on me, I love the mission and I admire their crew so much! ✨
I think we are looking at weeks, if not months of delay here. Even if they are able to fix the valve quickly, they will almost certainly want to do a Wet Dress Rehearsal 2, to make sure it actually works, so they dont embarrass themselves a second time at a launch attempt. A second Wet Dress Rehearsal would be weeks away from now, and even if that goes well, the actual launch attempt would be weeks away from THAT.
If they have to rollback to the VAB, you're probably right. But there's still a chance they can fix the engine chill-down H2 flow issue at the pad. We'll find out more Tuesday afternoon (EDT), so for the moment there's no reason to not remain quietly optimist.
That’s disappointing, but I suppose it’s to be expected. Delays can happen for a million reasons, and considering how many parts have to work perfectly, it’s no surprise that something will fail. Hopefully the engineers can figure out a quick fix to the problem, looking forward to the launch!
If a SRB fails in flight, you have bigger problems. SRBs cannot be shut off. They burn until they are empty. It's like saying you can put out a dynamite explosion. Well no, not really. lol. If the SRB shuts down it's because it broke apart completely in midflight!
@@ebagigwhite Wasting $100 billion??...are you going to break that down and show where it was "wasted" or are you just pulling that out of your backside? The Artemis program is a Moon exploration program led by the United States space agency, NASA, and three other partner agencies : European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA). the cost of which is divided between all agencies. According to NASA’s Office of Inspector General, the total projected cost through fiscal year 2021 to 2025 is $85.7 billion....its not even been spent yet...just go home!!
Delay is and has always been NASA's middle name. With a money-eating machine like NASA I won't be surprised if it scrubs Friday. It costs millions to reset the range and the rocket and Bill Nelson is cashing those taxpayer checks like he'll never launch that rocket. Time for the NASA money eating machine that has never done anything on time and within budget to let the new kids on the block take over. Anyone defending NASA more than likely has a business involved in making a bolt or washer for NASA and collecting a check as well.
Notoriously while Bill Nelson and politicians from every state that a part was built in laugh their way to the freaking bank with taxpayer dollars. Got to love this madness.
Tim and team, even though this was a scrub the setup and shots were amazing! The interview at the end was a cool plus. So excited for the opportunities this setup will provide!
Wasn't the shuttle program retired because of safety concerns? With that in mind, is it wise to make a new generation of rockets based on recycled shuttle components (booster parts, engines)?
The shuttle program didn’t have a launch escape system. SLS does. There has never been a loss of human life on a rocket with an escape launch tower on it (to my knowledge). They are extremely effective at what they do.
Yes and no. There was many reasons to shuttles retirement. It was expensive as hell for a “reusable” shuttle. And due to the government’s demand of wanting a launch for classified use, NASA continued to spend on it. Later on, as the disasters came along, it really was just the design of the shuttle. You can watch many videos explaining why it was flawed. The build, the need for it to be made out of light weight material so they could haul a payload, and a load of issues. But I think reusing parts isn’t a complete mistake, and I feel like we will never know until we launch this bad boy some day. 😂 I’m not much help with this, and I’m not completely knowledgeable but I can assume some stuff.
The safety concerns have nothing to do with the reused parts they are using. The solid rocket booster o rings issue were addressed after the challenger accident in 1985. The orange middle tank is not the same used on shuttle. They are using the shuttle engines on the orange tank. The shuttle itself was too expensive to maintain. They had to spend too much time refurbishing the shuttle to use again plus each launch was in the billions. In reality NASA has been inefficient for a long time and doesn't make financial sense to continue supporting them. They should be a regulation body instead of making rockets themselves.
@@gigacream5830 50% of the accidents that resulted in loss of life in the shuttle program would not have been be prevented with an escape system, typically used during launch only. It's great that the new rocket does have the Apollo-style escape system, but it seems that a level of redundancy is being waived by using parts of a vehicle that was retired for being deemed unsafe. Ideally, the new rocket would have the escape system AND not use recycled shuttle parts.
@@coriscotupi To be fair, pretty much the only strictly recycled STS parts in SLS are the SSME combustion chambers. And that's such a wildly successful engine, I can understand why they'd want to use up the supply of them instead of letting them degrade in storage. But everything else is new. Derived from Shuttle, absolutely, but more like how the modern Ford Mustang is derived from the 65 Mustang; there's a clear geneology, but its basically skin-deep at best. It's not like they just went to the Shuttle stack and started unbolting bits for SLS.
Actually expected it. I mean NASA is involved. Did everyone mysteriously forget the days of the shuttle. It never launched on time and was always over budget as well. NASA is a taxpayer money pit for corporations to gobble up.
It just occurred to me that if you want the van to have “EDA” for Everyday Astronaut, maybe use a lower case “d” which would make it more obvious it isn’t Every Day Astronaut. “EdA”. Does that work?
Space coverage isn’t just about the launches, what is happening with Artemis now? You can report on what NASA is doing to remedy the #3 engine issue and to inspect the crack in the foam or whatever was going on there. A post launch scrub analysis is also part of the responsibilities of the job you have created for yourself.
The greatest achievement is to show how lucky we are to have SpaceX. Obsolete way before lunch. Even if it work how long will it take to make another one, how much will it cost. The engines from the space shuttle will get destroyed on reentry.
It really sucks how much everyone is bashing on NASA, SLS, and even Tim! Y’all do not understand that SpaceX’s Starship cannot and will NOT do everything space related. SLS is being made for a reason. It’s in joint contract with SpaceX for these moon missions. This version of SLS is literally a prototype test flight. It’s not even the main block that will be used, which is gonna be waaay cheaper. Truly disappointing how much everyone hates but doesn’t know the reason or facts behind things they are doing.
@@harmless6813 can Starship carry the Orion module? Can Starship do a trans-lunar injection without refueling? Can Starship send astronauts and cargo to the moon in one trip? The answer is no, no, and no. For the Artemis missions to work and ultimately, to have a human presence on the moon again, SLS needs Starship just as much as Starship need SLS. They have a contract together for a reason. Starship is cheap, but SLS is much more capable for moon missions.

Really looking forward to seeing Musk successful with his moon rocket. If it goes like his previous ventures, he'll put NASA out of the moon and Mars launching business. Elon is already doing things at warp speed compared to NASA's prehistoric behemoth budget killer that's years late. Elon is also launching at single-digit cost percentages of what NASA can. Not too excited about NASA's future when you look at their historical record of overbudget and late projects that are never ready to launch on launch day. Bill Nelson is cashing his checks at the bank every day and loving it.
Surprise, surprise. They had problems with their 33 year old RS-25.
Thanks Tim. 🙂👍
Great news
from South Africa
They did the right thing, it's not ready!
never will be. It's old space tech and not even reusable
@@supheroai but is also needed for these lunar missions in joint contract with SpaceX. It’s less expensive to scrub the launch than blow the rocket to pieces.
Delayed? Shocker.....
2 months of NASA overtime in meetings coming up.
@@unclefart5527 "we are gathering more data..." tech speech for saying...we don't know how to fix whatever and will figure out how to fix it...in the mean time give us 2 billion more to build another one...
@@bewArcher amazing how negative everyone is without knowing how truly complex these vehicles are. SLS is one of three Super Heavy-lift launch vehicles in the world right now. THREE. Just shut up and be patient. Without NASA and SLS we wouldn’t be going to the moon whatsoever. SpaceX and NASA have a joint contract together to get humans back on the moon and eventually build a base. We need SLS.
What you can you expect for only 93 billion dollars?
@@gigacream5830 it is not a super heavy lift vehicle. It is a 100 billion dollar paperweight
Thank you so m8ch for the coverage to all at EDA
What an amazing launch. Super capable. Much powerful!
Most of us are merely geeks and non-experts in rocketry but having unforeseen issues cropping up during countdown leave us desperate for information/updates/analysis and not just a spectator with good cameras.
What a surprise, Artemis delayed again 👍
IIRC it was the 17th time?
No surprise there. That's typical NASA for you, but Bill Nelson cashed his fat check today. Millions in resetting everything just like with the shuttle and its payday all over again.
@@semperfi6801
Exactly my point 👍
1.1 million views! Fantastic and well done, Tim and team. Thanks from UK
Funny the official NASA livestream never started.. darn it…
Thank you and your team for your very hard work to make this happen Tim. Been looking forward to seeing this launch for soooo long.
Love the new van. Now we know where you have been hiding for the last few months.😀
Team Space now in HD all the way to orbit😀😀🚀🚀.
See you on the next one, better a scrub than a RUD!!
Why choose when we can have both? A scrub today AND a RUD on Friday. 🤣🤣
Good practice run for the new van!
Sad we couldn't see Artemis launch today but it was nice seeing and hearing from Chris again!
Inspiration4 had a really big impact on me, I love the mission and I admire their crew so much! ✨
same here. everything about that mission felt so special
@@steinmann2128 yes! everything was special! 😆
breaking news ...we need another 10 billion $$$$$
I think we are looking at weeks, if not months of delay here. Even if they are able to fix the valve quickly, they will almost certainly want to do a Wet Dress Rehearsal 2, to make sure it actually works, so they dont embarrass themselves a second time at a launch attempt. A second Wet Dress Rehearsal would be weeks away from now, and even if that goes well, the actual launch attempt would be weeks away from THAT.
If they have to rollback to the VAB, you're probably right. But there's still a chance they can fix the engine chill-down H2 flow issue at the pad. We'll find out more Tuesday afternoon (EDT), so for the moment there's no reason to not remain quietly optimist.
Who’s here after the launch?
you guys should setup a big mirror behind you so you can see the rocket and have it in frame.
I was at the bride near jetty park it would have been awesome to see it launch
Do I have to disrupt my sleep cycle for another hour?
No, launch is scrubbed for Friday. I stayed up all night and I work today, so I’m right there with yuh😅
Excellent broadcast.
Why don't they just start hitting the engine like the Russian in Armageddon
Also Death: See you on Friday😂
Thanks for the stream, ya’ll. Get LUNA a paint job!
Tim the launch has been postponed until Friday bumper I hope that I can watch it.
That’s disappointing, but I suppose it’s to be expected. Delays can happen for a million reasons, and considering how many parts have to work perfectly, it’s no surprise that something will fail.
Hopefully the engineers can figure out a quick fix to the problem, looking forward to the launch!
beter a delay than a regret
@@viarnay beautifully said.
Great job on the van mate! Top vote on that one and I think it is LUNANIMOUS. 👍🥰👌
Going live from the cape with no launch 🚀. Well it’s Tim Dodd and cosmic perspective? 1.5 million people ... Yep we’re all in 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you
By far, the most expensive looking part of the van is the logo. It looks so ... avant garde.
If a SRB fails in flight, you have bigger problems. SRBs cannot be shut off. They burn until they are empty. It's like saying you can put out a dynamite explosion. Well no, not really. lol. If the SRB shuts down it's because it broke apart completely in midflight!
This launch vehicle was born Obsolete.
With the launching of this rocket, I expect we will see the display of the Project Blue Beam soon.
If they haven't observed those engine abnormalities or leaks that could've been the earliest and grandest New Year's fireworks for 2023.
awesome! thanks for investing in your channel, this is so great to watch! 10/10
Dang man I woke up early for nothing 😪 😕
Hope you wear the RS-25 T-shirt for the next "Launch Rehearsal" but be sure to point to things like the lazy valve on the T-Shirt graphic.
NASA - SLS should use a methane / LOX fuel combination like SpaceX. Hydrogen leaks are going to be a repeat problem.
The marriage to hydrogen is because they were required to reuse the shuttle engines. Politics..
I am 56!! So I m still alive! Haha kudos for your wonderful job here!
The $90 billion budget is 10% engineering, 90% political kickbacks
Funny how the majority here don't understand that. Don't forget the millions it costs to reset the range. Bill Nelson cashed his fat check today.
Can one get a notification for the next stream, the next launch attempt in Saturday? Greetings!
Imagine if that rocket went the wrong way and landed smack in the middle of the town of Chillingbourne.
That's why a self destruction system can be activated at any time.
Should've got John Aaron on it.
How are you able to get this close to the rocket? Is it available to the public?
very cool to see chris pull up a chair as a surprise. that was great
Sorry folks video is scrubbed 🤣
Better a delay than a regret.
omg, have i just found the one person in the comments with some common sense?...thank you!!!
The only regret is wasting $100 billion on this obvious Ponzi scheme.
@@ebagigwhite EEUU has superior technology and that is not for free.
@@ebagigwhite Wasting $100 billion??...are you going to break that down and show where it was "wasted" or are you just pulling that out of your backside?
The Artemis program is a Moon exploration program led by the United States space agency, NASA, and three other partner agencies : European Space Agency (ESA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Canadian Space Agency (CSA). the cost of which is divided between all agencies. According to NASA’s Office of Inspector General, the total projected cost through fiscal year 2021 to 2025 is $85.7 billion....its not even been spent yet...just go home!!
Delay is and has always been NASA's middle name. With a money-eating machine like NASA I won't be surprised if it scrubs Friday. It costs millions to reset the range and the rocket and Bill Nelson is cashing those taxpayer checks like he'll never launch that rocket. Time for the NASA money eating machine that has never done anything on time and within budget to let the new kids on the block take over. Anyone defending NASA more than likely has a business involved in making a bolt or washer for NASA and collecting a check as well.
The van is awesome dude. Looking forward to many more streams from it!
NASA Always late on every project by years , Always over budget by millions , and then it never flies .
Notoriously while Bill Nelson and politicians from every state that a part was built in laugh their way to the freaking bank with taxpayer dollars. Got to love this madness.
I'd love to have that car in the opening shot yeah 👍❤️
I knew it
Tim and team, even though this was a scrub the setup and shots were amazing! The interview at the end was a cool plus. So excited for the opportunities this setup will provide!
Wasn't the shuttle program retired because of safety concerns? With that in mind, is it wise to make a new generation of rockets based on recycled shuttle components (booster parts, engines)?
The shuttle program didn’t have a launch escape system. SLS does. There has never been a loss of human life on a rocket with an escape launch tower on it (to my knowledge). They are extremely effective at what they do.
Yes and no. There was many reasons to shuttles retirement. It was expensive as hell for a “reusable” shuttle. And due to the government’s demand of wanting a launch for classified use, NASA continued to spend on it. Later on, as the disasters came along, it really was just the design of the shuttle. You can watch many videos explaining why it was flawed. The build, the need for it to be made out of light weight material so they could haul a payload, and a load of issues. But I think reusing parts isn’t a complete mistake, and I feel like we will never know until we launch this bad boy some day. 😂 I’m not much help with this, and I’m not completely knowledgeable but I can assume some stuff.
The safety concerns have nothing to do with the reused parts they are using. The solid rocket booster o rings issue were addressed after the challenger accident in 1985. The orange middle tank is not the same used on shuttle. They are using the shuttle engines on the orange tank. The shuttle itself was too expensive to maintain. They had to spend too much time refurbishing the shuttle to use again plus each launch was in the billions. In reality NASA has been inefficient for a long time and doesn't make financial sense to continue supporting them. They should be a regulation body instead of making rockets themselves.
@@gigacream5830 50% of the accidents that resulted in loss of life in the shuttle program would not have been be prevented with an escape system, typically used during launch only. It's great that the new rocket does have the Apollo-style escape system, but it seems that a level of redundancy is being waived by using parts of a vehicle that was retired for being deemed unsafe. Ideally, the new rocket would have the escape system AND not use recycled shuttle parts.
@@coriscotupi To be fair, pretty much the only strictly recycled STS parts in SLS are the SSME combustion chambers. And that's such a wildly successful engine, I can understand why they'd want to use up the supply of them instead of letting them degrade in storage. But everything else is new. Derived from Shuttle, absolutely, but more like how the modern Ford Mustang is derived from the 65 Mustang; there's a clear geneology, but its basically skin-deep at best. It's not like they just went to the Shuttle stack and started unbolting bits for SLS.
Seriously, is anyone shocked?
Actually expected it. I mean NASA is involved. Did everyone mysteriously forget the days of the shuttle. It never launched on time and was always over budget as well. NASA is a taxpayer money pit for corporations to gobble up.
It just occurred to me that if you want the van to have “EDA” for Everyday Astronaut, maybe use a lower case “d” which would make it more obvious it isn’t Every Day Astronaut. “EdA”. Does that work?
Space coverage isn’t just about the launches, what is happening with Artemis now? You can report on what NASA is doing to remedy the #3 engine issue and to inspect the crack in the foam or whatever was going on there. A post launch scrub analysis is also part of the responsibilities of the job you have created for yourself.
What nonsense. He can't grant himself insider access merely because some entitled fool thinks he can.
100 bucks orion won't launch this year..!?
Might as well send me $100 rn😂🤷🏻♂️Orion already launched. Just not aboard SLS. My bet is it will launch Friday 100%
@@gigacream5830 $250..!?🤠
And I wore my Everyday Astronaut norminal shirt to work today. I don't have a scrubbed shirt.
Scrubs happen can’t wait for the next attempt
The most powerful rocket that hardly ever flies?
@bart solari You ever see Bill Nelson never smiling when he's on TV? Taxpayer dollars build permanent smiles when you have money machines like NASA.
Nope not the most powerful rocket.
The most powerful rocket engine of all time was used on the N1 as the Block 1 rocket.
Russia 🇷🇺 is still numero uno
The greatest achievement is to show how lucky we are to have SpaceX. Obsolete way before lunch. Even if it work how long will it take to make another one, how much will it cost. The engines from the space shuttle will get destroyed on reentry.
How many launches before it gets canceled for good...
It really sucks how much everyone is bashing on NASA, SLS, and even Tim! Y’all do not understand that SpaceX’s Starship cannot and will NOT do everything space related. SLS is being made for a reason. It’s in joint contract with SpaceX for these moon missions. This version of SLS is literally a prototype test flight. It’s not even the main block that will be used, which is gonna be waaay cheaper. Truly disappointing how much everyone hates but doesn’t know the reason or facts behind things they are doing.
@@gigacream5830 SLS does have a purpose, engineer welfare, nothing more.
@@gigacream5830 What _useful_ thing does SLS do that Starship can't?
@@harmless6813 can Starship carry the Orion module? Can Starship do a trans-lunar injection without refueling? Can Starship send astronauts and cargo to the moon in one trip? The answer is no, no, and no. For the Artemis missions to work and ultimately, to have a human presence on the moon again, SLS needs Starship just as much as Starship need SLS. They have a contract together for a reason. Starship is cheap, but SLS is much more capable for moon missions.
Yupp watching in 4k on my PC
Nice
Starship: *blocks your orbital path*
I like the intro :)
Forgot to mention a fan not only spacex but rocket lab who sent the pathfinder satellite prior to the launch but I’m just an ignorant kiwi fan
nice
