haha CEO delivering the classic CEO face. Fun demonstration "skit". This is definitely a new generation of aerospace company. Looking forward to the next phase in the mission!
The skit explaining the oribital all that was SOLID GOLD!
Absolutely loved the Martian skit to explain the orbit! I love that movie and the skit was perfectly adapted to Blue Ghost! Bravo!
The Martian... No, the Moonian!
Incredible work is beeing made by Firefly's team)
Fly safe, Blue Ghost!
Thanks for the update..."Sorry, who are you again?....I'm Jason, CEO of Firefly".......Love it!!!
Science/engineering can be so dry. Love the humor here. And the CG is excellent. Please keep up the fantastic/creative and fun updates.
You are starting to become my new favorite space company, especially with all the recent drama from certain others . I wish you the best of luck with landing on the moon .
Just pure space. Ahhh.
I hope the "who are you again" is becoming a running gag 😄
I love how much information you guys communicate to us, way more than can be said about basically anyone else.
Great demonstration Joe. One does not simply fly directly to the moon. I'll use this in KSP
A bunch of wasted money! even if you could do it unlike the fake 60's video. Who really cares . How is it going to help the earth? US? life here in general. Try take a nap have a little dream and save the wasted money
Moondor? 😂
Laughed out loud when he talked to the CEO! Loved the reference!
We are watching along with excitement. Thanks for sharing. "I've done the math, it checks out." priceless
LOL. Best thing I've seen on UA-cam in a while! 😂 Kudos. And good luck! 🚀
Back then we said "Godspeed" to wish a mission good luck.
Godspeed Blue Ghost.
So when do the studio pictures start coming out of the landing. TE HE HE
@@maysftg as soon as they can dig up Stanley.
@@maysftg Do you really think I'm going to take your gut feelings seriously?
That Jason CEO part held my attention 😂. T'was the only reason I kept watching 😅
Simply brilliant presentation. Loved the skit, making orbital mechanics very easy to understand. Cheers.
lmao i love the martian reference!!!
The skit is absolutely incredible - y'all are cooking 🔥🛰
Jason, it looks like you have a Great Team and a Wonderful attitude. Subscribed so I can closely follow your project. Best of Luck.
Those shots of Earth are absolutely breathtaking. Keep them coming.
Great video!👏 I especially like how you directly address the question about why many robotic missions to the Moon take longer to get there than the Apollo missions did. On every UA-cam video on robotic lunar missions there are always angry comments from people who think since these missions take longer to get to the Moon that there's wrong with the spacecraft's design.
The sketch was nicely done.
I loved the orbital mechanics demo. Hilarious!
I just wanted the guy playing with the rubber ducky to pull out a line like "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal !"
1:37 Let's pretend this is blue ghost. *grabs the rubber duck next to a blue ghost model*
I hope this was an intentional joke because it gave me a good laugh.
Watch The Martian this was a parody of a key scene in it.
Outstanding. Great work y'all. Yay space geeks, go space geeks!
Team Firefly ! The pointy tip of the spear on the edge of science.Thank you!
Hell yeah. Keep it going y'all. Keep inspiring!!
Nicely done....fun "Martian" skit....good to see the executive team willing to have some fun and go with the flow! 👍
I just watched The Martian last night! 😂😂😂 This is an amazing video for so many reasons. I really love the updates throughout the mission! I want to keep seeing these details. The radiator seems like some pretty awesome tech. Congratulations on everything, including not even needing that extra burn!
Oh man that skit was fantastic! Seems familiar. 😂
OUTSTANDING!! Loved the explanation. You people are doing great work.
Thank you for these informative updates
OK
Hope it land upright
Hope it doesn't tip over
Hope nothing falls off the motor(s)
Hope the sensors stay healthy
Wish I were young and involved
Good Luck
I am enjoying the weekly updates.
Rubber Duckie, you're the one that makes bath time so much fun.
I love the orbit description which was clearly a take from The Martian!
guys this is the best video i have seen this year thank you. like a leaf on the wind ;)
A nice little touch on The Martian movie - who are you again? I'm the director of Nasa
That Jackson guy is a beast!!!
Love the Martian skit❤
You guys rock!
That skit and documentary in general is proof that company culture can be good. It's not just a unicorn!
Great video! Loved the nod to the Martian! Wishing your team success with the mission and can't wait to see the next update. Cheers!
Fantastic achievement for humanity and the new space industry, congratulations !
Love the 'the martian' reference
Thanks for the awesome updates, totally following your awesome project and wishing you all the best success!
Guys who ever did a video deserve a raise. AMAZING. Keep up good work!
Who are you? 😂 Love the movie reference.
"I'm sorry, who are you again?" classic... Great Video guys, very informative. Thanks for the work that you put into it.
well done :)
wow, so entertaining, well explained - I Love it!! Go Firefly! Go Blue Ghost!
Loved upper management getting involved. Well done Firefly for making science entertaining.
Rich Pernell Skit! love it, thanks for doing updates.
Ok the martian was amazing
Loved the Martian Skit! So looking forward to the landing. Good Luck!!!
love the martian skit
Orbital Mechanics - cracking me up - bravo, LMAO! wishing the team the best possible mission outcome !
Good thing you used a squeaky toy for us peasants. I don't think we could have paid attention otherwise 😊 jk.
Thank you Firefly for taking humanity along for the ride.
1:47 When he said "And you, I'm sorry..." I misheard and thought he said "And you Atari..."
So glad it was just my hearing and wasn't an Asian joke. 😵
Jason's deadpan expression was priceless.😄
Enjoying The Journey and Following Along From The Caribbean 🇻🇨
You can tell Joe is an experienced KSP player :) Love the team energy, excitement, and professionalism. God Speed Blue Ghost! I can only imagine the feeling of seeing the Earth in the background. WOW
lol, very funny - CEO and co are good sports indeed, and did a good job explaining the orbital shenanigans (a branch of orbital dynamics, celestial mechanics, and voodoo) Can't wait til you get there - shine on you crazy diamonds :) ...
That demo did not make it easier to understand, but made it more memorable :D
(I understood it already, I think it is easy, everyone could, they are just uninformed)
Aw, poor Dan. He didn't actually add any depth or allude to specific reasons about how orbital mechanics worked, but it was a fun demonstration. Looking forward to the next episode! This is a fun thing, I think this could go far.
This Is almost funny. But very good and infectious. Keep the creativity going. I believe it is needed. Thanks.
I'm rooting for your team!!!
So funny the reference to the Marian. Well done
Love the update !! Keep Going YOU will land On The Moon
Awesome!! In every regard.
Haha! Brilliant!
These updates are amazing! Thank you.
I should have been an astrophysicist, or rocket engineer...but back then that was not an option, even as an Oxford physics grad. Became an auditor instead!
I love how Jason the CEO just took the “who are you again?” I would bet it was his idea too 😂
I LOVED that 'Martian' parody. Awesome!
So amazing!! well done ♥🔥🙏
Lmao The Martian explanation of the orbit skit was hilarious!
Great video.. Thanks
Safe flight and yes, that was a fun skit / demo :)
Amazing video! It's a very fun 😁
Fantastic! Laughing through the whole Martian scene.😅
Loved The Martian parody! I wish them all the best. But are they really measuring temperatures in Fahrenheit?
YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🤪
Hahaha! Great vid! Let’s throw some Mal quotes around!
Mare Crisium near Mons Latreille here we go.❤❤❤
For anyone who has played some Kerbal Space Program and is wondering why they use the term perigee instead of periapsis to describe the lowest point in the orbit, perigee only describes an orbit around Earth, where perihelion describes the closest point in an orbit around the sun, with other terms for other bodies like the Moon and planets. Periapsis and apoapsis are the generic terms for the lowest and highest points of an orbit relative to the body the object is orbiting.
The Martian plug! Funny stuff guys and gals!!
Yea, space!
More Joe, Please?
awesome Martian reference!
How do you measure the speed of Blue Ghost in space which I guess is important in how long these various burns last for.
In spacecraft, the Doppler effect is used to determine the speed and direction of the craft by measuring the frequency differences between the transmitted and received signals.
Guys I just find out about you !
This is the best thing I have seen on internet for years !
So refreshing.
Subscribed. The CEO presenting himself tho😂😂😂
Awesome!!!
Bad acting by Boss man and Lady Women. That made a lot of sense, the lunar path. I like the not keeping people alive but the sci-equip. The squeaky duck was great. Humour like this will keep your channel more watchable! Don't fire him!!
Do a fly-by of the moon landing site or land right beside it to put all theories to rest!
Jason looks pissed with Joe 😂😂😂
Beautiful blue jewel in the spotlight! 8:26 But people all over it, mostly just want to survive and so it's very dangerous on the surface of that jewel, now more than ever! Want to see more?
Project Elrond- funny
Let's "Ghost" this "Blue" marble, temporarily and do the business we want to accomplish and then come home😅
Facing the moon I believe lunar insertion was targeted at a clockwise rotation once in orbit around it. I’m wondering why the orbit will be counterclockwise.
i watched the apollo missions aas a kid. gee i understand trans lunar injection burn completly . its all in the timing.
