    I am totally digging the - "Source : Tim Dodd" video footage. That's gotta feel good to know it's your footage. That's a total milestone for Everyday Astronaut
  • "Why is there smoke coming out of your rocket, Elon?" "Oh, that isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the water deluge system. Mmmm, water deluge."
  • @dorothygray6461
    -"It will take a solar farm the size of 6 football fields!" -"So be it" I love this guy
  • @zachm4635
    This will be a easy quick video- Tim March 2019
  • @darklight2k79
    One small upload for man, one giant leap of watch time for mankind
  • @nobodynemoq
    I'm really late here, over a year late. Your videos are literally HUGE. But these are also that comprehensive, with so much information provided, that every minute spent on watching them is worth it! Thank you! 😁
  • @sarahutch6413
    the effort behind each of these videos is mind boggling- you're doing an amazing job tim
  • I didn't know what "in detail" meant... until I watched a 55-minute video to answer a seven-word question.
  • @lennargon5755
    When 55 minutes feel like 15 minutes, you've probably watched a video from Everyday Astronaut
  • @pyrusrex2882
    I don't know of anyone who puts their whole heart and soul into their videos like Tim does. That's what you call CONTENT.
  • @bmet001
    Thank you so much for your time and stress making this. I'm an atmospheric physicist I’ve been wondering the same question for years and haven’t even dreamed of having the time to investigate all the complexities. Honestly this is enough research to be published into a paper. It makes me want to turn all my research into videos rather than papers that nobody will read... much more impact through a video!
  • @Voyager_AU
    I am 35 minutes in and I just realized the sign behind him changes colors. Great job with the video Tim. You make boring stuff interesting.
  • I love how long these videos are. Sometimes it is annoying, but it is great when I want to learn the content of an academic paper without having to dive through some high number of paragraphs, each containing words none of my family members nor me have ever seen in our lives. My mother is a lawyer, and even she has no idea what they are saying, despite knowing 90% of Latin roots and memorizing a large portion of the dictionary to heart.
  • @SapientPearwood
    This was so interesting! I have a phd in propulsion fluid dynamics, and actively work on rocket propulsion research, and a bunch of this was brand new information to me, and also so good to know about. It's one thing to say you care about the planet, but it's more important to make sure you don't have a blind spot to your own activities. Seriously great job!!
  • @nickvangeel
    Lets just be clear, it took a global pandemic for Tim to finally finish this video. Love you Tim
  • @LisaStojanovski
    This was such a fun video to work on with you, Tim. Rockets are awesome!
  • @chrisrandom7409
    I love these long videos, Tim. They obviously take a bunch of work to make them, great job!
