    The untimely demise of that Barry satellite did lead to one if the most sci-fi headlines I've seen: Contact lost with quantum drive spacecraft
  • @LeonDerczynski
    with that beautiful pronunciation of "mirrorless" now I really want to hear scott say "burglar alarm". "mirrorless burglar alarm"
  • It's a great dad joke to say that the air and space museum is poorly named because it's full of stuff.
  • @lyledal
    Ah! EXPLORER! I kept hearing "exploder." Honestly, I think that'd be a pretty cool award too.
  • @EstorilEm
    Considering the loss of lift and the extreme imbalance associated with losing a rotor blade, it’s a miracle that Ingenuity is sitting upright. 😳

    Ryan Hansen's work was a good portion of the latest CSI Starbase video about the booster failure possible mechanisms in the latest flight. 80 minutes whale of a video but really goes into the details. What stood out for me was the amount of hard work and ingenuity it took to obtain the speed and acceleration profiles if the booster during hot staging by the telemetry and painstakingly matching the animation to the footage frame by frame. Impressive as hell.
  • @joyl7842
    The length of the plume on that Starship launch is insane. It's nearly half a kilometer of burning methane!

    "The other guy has a new super weapons and we are all gonna Die!" Is always a good way to get Congress to increase your budget.
  • @laskey2175
    Bravo to Ingenuity for managing to still land after losing a wing. The little robot copter is a champ.
  • @evannewman3997
    13:00 wait wait wait, so the "Sean's Cannery" part manufacturer in Kerbal Space Program is based on a real company? Neat.
  • @kencondon1772
    Varda (not Rocketlab) makes the reentry capsule and all the drug manufacturing equipment inside. Rocketlab provides their photon satellite bus that provides power, prop, and comms until separation and reentry
  • Lol, "can run DooM" wasn't expecting that! Totally busted up laughing!
  • @JinKee
    3:31 “collins aerospace doing testing of their Zerg space suit” oh how i wish the subtitles were true
  • @dl2839
    Incredible. 14:31 The legendary exploder is a great honor to get, Starship, Fat Man, and the Crab Nebula are all legendary exploders.
  • @atlanciaza
    I am so damn sad that the power failed on the IVO, I was looking forward to the results, whichever way it might have gone.
  • @bobjoatmon1993
    Armadillo Aerospace, that's a name that I used to hear a lot and eagerly awaited their videos...
  • @JohnColorado3811
    Enough processing power to run doom, so thats what Carmack has been up to :D
  • @bmitch3020
    The Exploder Club! 🤣 I love Scott's Scottish accent. Keep being awesome!
  • @tsr207
    Excellent video - good to see Rusty receive the acclaim he deserves - Apollo 9 was a tricky assignment - taking an untested spacecraft that had no heatshield and travelling away from the CSM and overcoming the EVA issues was remarkable !
