    I just want to say, that Elysia Segal is an amazing announcer for these "Reviews". She delivers long, complicated explanations, with smooth vocalization and excellent and consistent intonation. Even after 20 minutes of viewing and listening her voice never falters and she makes it easy to maintain attention. Her obvious genial nature also helps. Congrats.!!👍

    A thumbs up for Elysia’s capsule earrings.
  • artemis re-entry video is absolutely amazing........recommend watching it
  • @kjer6071
    "unrest"? Come on NASA. Even Russia calls it a "Special Military Operation".
  • @fosstera
    aw man, seeing that mission controller salute B1060 in the intro made me cry
  • @ross077
    Excellent detailed reporting on the Inspector General audit of the Artemis 1 mission outcomes. Great job.
  • Excellent presentation capability Elysia. Clear , smooth, nice fast pace. 👍
  • @T_Mo271
    "While the capsule was never in danger of being destroyed..." is a bit of a stretch.
  • @ghost307
    The old NASA would have made the heat shield better to deal with the reentry heating. The new NASA will just change the flight profile to make it easier for the heat shield to deal with it. Sounds like the early days of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, where they made the tests easier rather than make the vehicle tougher.
