Great job! I understand the findings from Bennu much better now. NSF always explains things in a clear and concise way.
NSF is better background TV than regular TV for doing projects around the house. Change my mind.
Background sound or background noise? But I do like most articles depending on who the presenters are. Some I just won't watch. This lady does fine.
🔥🔥🔥
I find it too distracting to attend to other projects, because they cover such interesting stuff!😉
@@rsteeb depends on what it is. If I'm cleaning or cooking or doing home Brew stuff I'll put NSF in my earbuds, but if they're actually covering a launch I remain seated for the majority of the show.
@@scubastevedan Now there's a thought... maybe I'll pop on my bluetooth headset next time chores and NSF coincide!
I was in gradual school In physics during the SDI era, and some of the stuff developed was, frankly, crazy. My favorite was underground testing of fission-pumped x-ray laser beams. Yes, lasers powered by A-bombs. Crazy stuff.
@michaelcox1071 Edward Teller always had the best ideas. The fifties and sixties were heady times for pure scientific advancement which was intended for engineering implementation. Now "physicists" seem content with navel gazing.
Peaceful Skies
My favourite time of the Week waking up making my breakfast and watching Elysia with the Space News of the Space Frontier ! Elysia we Love U Girl keep up the good work 💯.
Are you serious??? No way to hear that voice for breakfast....maybe good for dieting but that would be it.
After being quiet for so long now if feels *suddenly* lunar lander race will be exciting in 2025. Oh and loved mini-humans-ear-jewelry Elysia 😆keep up the good work.
Thank you Elysia, great hosting as always. I'd like to also request chapters in the timeline, cheers.
when i hear space weapons i only think of kessler syndrome..... space should be kept clear of weapons.....
🚀🚀🚀
Elysia excellent show. Informative and enjoyable. Thank you.
Great channel hosted by Elysia Segal. Greetings from Europe.
Biggest thank you to Elysia for such solid reporting, and for being the first person to check out my mixtape 🙌🏻 will be dropping the link on this channel soon, thank you all for being patient, we about to take off like a Raptor engine! One love -JB
I could listen to her the whole day. Love from South Africa!
I love ISRO...🇮🇳
Ok
It's lefthanded because Bugs Bunny complains that he should have taken a left turn in Albuquerque.
Astronauts doing EVA off of Elysia 🙂
As usual, the earrings are super cool!
Stunning pictures of earth. 💙
Many launches to look forward to 🚀🔥🚀🔥🚀🔥🚀❤️🔥
Soooo, are we expecting another launch abort for Rocketlab, like the one you guys show for the preview?😂
Since the Earth was built with dust, Asteroids and comets it should not be surprising that we will find the building blocks of life all over the Universe.
The surest way to find out we needed an upgraded defense system, is to not have one when we did need it.
Did Jacklyn come back to port after the flight? And in what condition?
Yes. It's fine, the booster never came anywhere close to it
Even in PERFECT laboratory environments, none of these elements self-assemble.
Isro 🥳🎉👏 for 100th rocket lunch
Wonderful coverage of the Bennu coverage. Have your own science reporter asking good questions makes all the difference.
Any news on the nine contracts NASA just signed for research into lunar transportation and logistics?
7:08 Titan? Is that you?
... anyone else getting Andromeda Strain vibes from the meteor soup idea?
It did cross my mind... Hope they're in a level 4 containment, but it didn't look like it.
You realize tons of this dust are raining down on Earth every day?
@ Doesn't it have to go through re-entry heating first? A couple thousand degrees (on whatever scale) is usually enough to sterilize things...
@@DJ-bh1juAnd yet, the stuff that created you, me, everything, had to get down here *_somehow..._* 😊
Does anyone knows why B1073 was expended?
They needed the extra performance for this mission
They do that occasionally. It was a high orbit with a heavy payload. A booster without landing legs, grid fins or actuators, using all its fuel for launch, could get it there. Still way cheaper than any other expendable launcher, even cheaper than a Falcon Heavy recovering all boosters. And this booster on its 20-somethingth launch has more than paid for itself already.
Elysia,
You are a wonderful presenter. You may choose to watch Firstpost, Palki Sharma. She is like you, study her "look". Adopt what you will, Palki is a world class presenter in your style. Seems like there would be something there you could use.
With growing love and admiration, from a meddling fan.

One of the most Horrific ideas is a Lab creating Chimaric Life that all known life has 0 resistance to.
Life which wouldn’t be able to use us for nutrients without special enzymes.
We would have 0 resistance to it, and it would have 0 resistance to us 😂 so there's nothing to worry about, as the above commenter said it wouldn't be able to use us.
I hear CERN is also gearing up, once again, to eradicate us... 😏
Children of a dead earth irl will be sick by visuals
So ..... Pamspermia is back on the cards? 😊❤
Certainly can't rule it out just yet...
Any word on the flight 7 patches?
We are the watchers
No tiene audio en español.
Te lo expliqué la semana pasada... Solo los resumenes de Starbase tienen audio en Español.
Ah more Space Junk with Interceptors. Space X will really love that.
hearing Earth-Moon gap described as "deep space" is nearly insulting coming from this channel
there is no "deep space" on this side of the Oort cloud, and even beyond that isn't deep space, it's literal local stellar medium
You must be fun at parties
@@ale131296 it'd be easy if it was one of yours. since telling the difference between interplanetary and extragalactic seems to be some kind of impossible party trick for you
Really appreciated the Bennu section. The importance of space science is often forgotten, while the space bros play with their big rockets.
@Jack-B-Human Oh dear.... your "hot-take" is grotesquely irrational. I wonder if you even understand who is actually launching all these missions? ULA does not even have Atlas V anymore. In fact ULA (old space) is so incapable of effective operations it is on the chopping block for sale. The Bennu mission is a great accomplishment but your illusionary complaints about the future are whimsical at best. *SOMEONE* recently launched actual civilian missions to space to test new spacesuits and travelled further from Earth than any "official" space agencies have in about fifty years. Deep space missions and science is being done right under your nose.
Peaceful Skies
@phlogistanjones2722 I didn't think it would be long before someone from the 'Cult of Elon' chipped in with an antagonistic comment.
We get a moon Hoppy!!!😂
Lots of good news 👍👍
Elysia, your hair is a giveaway, it spirals left and right in equal amounts. So just tell us which asteroid you're from
Asteroid L’ange Le Duo 😉 (no but really it’s great, highly recommend)
Yo, where do I get Osiris Rex T-shirt?
Finally brilliant pebbles might become a reality!
Brilliant Pebbles!
I keep picturing a doubly-helixal DNA and don't understand how it's 'left-handed', when I imagine the the molecule from the end, it looks 'right-handed'.
What am I getting wrong? I would really like to see part of an episode in the future that visually shows how this works.
Thanks for your wonderful, professionally done show!
The amino acids terrestrial organisms use to make proteins have L chirality. The nucleic acids and sugars used have R chirality as does the most common phase for the double helix of DNA composed of them.
It's confusing to think about, but it will look left handed no matter which direction you look at it from.
Elon must be gooning at the military contracts from Trump's Iron Dome.
2:42 untill now
Salt?! Yay means we can't run out of salt in the future in space travel!
1:35 So by the same logic can I expect a new car to develop on a junkjard as all the components are present? Do we just have to wait long enough and it will happen? Interesting. How does entropy work again???
You've got some level of consciousness and are posting to similar beings. Tell me, how did we come into existence?
@@davidg3944 Exactly! To have the components and to bring them together into a body that can live is one thing but to have consciousness is an entirely different complexity in this. Did consciousness evolve or was it given?
@@WetterFlug I consider your use of "Exactly" to be somewhat obtuse. Organics are known to self-assemble and mutate without outside intervention aside from environmental energy and chemical availability, whereas your initial precept isn't "exactly" known for that - mechatronics do not build themselves without outside, advanced intervention. As to consciousness - given how few people actually make use of it, I'd suggest it's a cosmic thrift-store find (or at least, that's how most value it).
Chapters? Please? ✌😎
L&R handed amino acids. Mirror mirror anyone?
Season 2, Episode 4, Barbara Luna as Marlena... Awesome episode- classic ending.
the lighting seems off.... or maybe the space girl needs to be further from the camera idk something is off gg
He's a Sycophant
Curious about the blurred spots in this vid of Benu.✌😎
Quite a lot of rocket launches next week, and not just SpaceX. Amazing.
Dr Sławosz Uznański's surname was pronounced wrong as always, XD
I actuall found an interview where he said it himself so… 🤷🏻♀️
@elysiasegal it was close. But (like most non Poles) you used the soft version of ń instead of the hard version.
Not really that much of a problem. We Poles really like watching foreigners attempt to speak our language, it is somewhat of a national passtime
This is how you say, "our equipment is in place". Why TF would they announce what they are doing? So, BS.........
SCALPPS is a brilliant idea
wish they would explain the principles... behind anything really. left hand, right hand? surely humanity has developed their discernment along with technology beyond the idea of 'this' or 'that'? well, if they are relying on a.utomated i.nstructions for research or for this video script, that is understandable.
If we were to explain the intricacies of what makes a molecule left handed or right handed we would have to make the video an hour long.
So?. I have all the ingredients needed to make a batch of cookies. I don't have cookies.
Important step in making cookies. Make sure you have all the ingredients first.
@imaginary_friend7300 How many times?.
Try relaxing your eyebrows. If you’re not careful, they’ll reach the top of your forehead. Just a suggestion.
beautiful eyes!!!
India-US relations will be the backbone for the upcoming space missions to moon and mars.
@ankitbera1482 Perhaps you should inform the Indians of your opinion. They do not seem to be interested one whit in any sort of collaboration with the U.S.
Not the slightest intimation of that actually.
Not at all ❗️its every man for himself 🇨🇳 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 ➡️🌙 get back to reality
Only timepass kind of missions are done in collaboration, not the prestige projects
@@phlogistanjones2722and rightly so ! Collaboration is done on honest terms without backbiting, which Uncle Sam cannot offer ⚠️ so no big collaborations needed from Uncle ✋️
Look at Japan instead, fantastic collaboration India is making the moon lander and Japan is making the rover for Lupex mission, no strings attached, no backbiting
Uncle Sam is good only for timepass kind of missions in Low earth orbit, for bigger missions you do it yourself or find a more reliable partner
@@phlogistanjones2722you don't collaborate on critical projects with your ill wishers 😂
for example Uncle Sam who has a history of killing scientists from ISRO, DRDO and BARC
It took a while to remove the crooks left behind by British from power and bring a more nationalist government in India to stop this nonsense of CIA, still this one is far from perfect and needs to do more hardwork like the Chinese government for India to remain in the space race, this one also has the bad habit of lying down in front of Uncle from time to time
So Indians chose Japan for collaboration in lunar exploration, much better and honest collaboration than Uncle Sam
India builds the lander and Japan builds the rover, no strings attached, no backbiting
It's all so tiresome...
Tranche is from French, and is pronounced like "launch" rather than like "ranch". FYI.
I would marry this woman
Certainly wouldn't mind seeing her every morning at the breakfast table.
😊😅
MAKE SPACE AMERICAN AGAIN!
we need to have the nukes in orbit around the sun ready to hit the rock when it will do the most to change its course, before it rounds the sun
That US Space Farce satellite system is pointless... it would take just a single nuke to destroy the entire orbital infrastructure, instantly leveling the playing field and very cost effective too.
They're built radiation-hardened, with redundant back-up systems. The Russians and Chinese are already working on these systems. I'd rather we not come in 3rd-best on this. The consequences are unthinkable.
@@DJ-bh1ju 100 million degrees Celsius and Kessler syndrome shrapnel would destroy everything in orbit. The only thing the enemy would lose would be their own space assets, which would be a worthwhile trade off for the gains.
God, I miss Ronald Reagan!!
Certain people are so desperate to find life outside Earth, they spent hundreds of billions since the 70s on that one task. They could’ve spent it on better things in space.
Building blocks for life? Well, wouldn’t you think life would have to based on certain chemical compounds, rather then on nothing? And these certain chemical compounds, along with all other chemical compounds found on Earth, would be found everywhere in the Universe. You can draw your own conclusions.
"something else must be responsible for the life we understand" Indeed. I can think of at least one thing that is responsible... :)
It's even harder to end up with cookies if you don't have the ingredients, yeah? - Das
@@NASASpaceflight You can have as many ingredients as you want but without someone mixing them together in just the right way and baking them correctly, you will never have cookies. Ingredients alone say nothing about how life came to be.
@@NASASpaceflight Ingredients have always been there.. the baker just puts them together :)
Imagine their excitement and interest of space enthusiasts.
Watched 🛰️🚀 this week. The people’s excitement was interesting and fun to see. ✨🇮🇳 Appears Reagan was ahead of his time- Dome News- a visionary.
