Just so great to see the excitement of all the crew members in this interview! Very inspiring and we need to do a lot more of this! Get people excited, about anything really(!), but getting young people excited about science, space, technology, biology, medicine is something we should work more on! I’m a massive fan and will be following the development of all these space programs closely.

Super reliable, but in what environment. Lessons to be learnt during real powered test.

SpaceX actually started out using car wash valves to control their fuel lines.

Super Video

This is amazing! Thank you so much EDA for your commitment to excellent space content!

When I try this is KSP the lower booster tends to explode😂

With China doing well this feels like the space race 2.0! Which will only accelerate space missions which I'm all for!

SPECTRUM is "LIPALOX"

im so glad the girl with black hair talked about reduncandly that relaxed me so much I was waiting on you to ask"What if 1 suits malfuction¡?"

the pilot fits the movie personality perfectly WTF

20:28 to 21:13 That crew interaction was interesting xDDDD glad they only be up there for 5 days

One of our greatest achievements as a species. No joke

Tim, can you do a deep dive on these suits? I feel there is a lot more to this story than can be covered in this short interview. 😊

RFA is a Volksrocket company. Cheap, easy to build, and hopefully, flight worthy. Just like the VW beetle.

This is not space exploration since its in orbit

RFA has made a brilliant leap. Automotive parts manufacturers have what they do down to a science. Using those parts customized for an aerospace application kind of makes sense. For example, fuel injectors for cars quite often last the entire life of the car. That's millions of operations, and they just keep on working.

Those tracking cameras are worth every penny!

This might be my favorite CZcams video of all time. My brain might explode for the flight 4 video

It's going to be an amazing mission. I can't wait. It seems I won't be waiting long.

As much as I love the RFA way (it's pretty much what I try to follow in my engineering tasks), I think they are riding a dying horse. 10 years from now the ICE car industry will be strongly declining. The number of manufacturers will go down, number of parts will go down etc. RFA is what Europe should have done 20 years ago, but now I feel it could be too late.

Very cool autoclave, I'm a industrial mechanic, we have 4 at work 1 is a bit bigger but I will say it's the most terrifying machine in the factory. Look up autoclave explosions if you want to see what I mean. Steam is scary

"Lasers" . . . 🤩😎

when the guy is talking about that cnc box that he hates I get it but sometime i have gone with an off the shelf box and found the I had to make a fixture for it and put it in a cnc machine anyway just to get it right.

Can you imagine american rocket engineers trying to give an interview like this in english. I wish I could speak any other language well.

True heroes and inspirational.

Thanks to both companies for the amazing tours.

thath guy desserve 1-10,000,000 atleast....

Yeah, this is going to be one hell of a mission. Go Polaris Dawn!

❤

Another German joke in progress. 🤣🤣

i love the rabid attention to cost cutting of RFA... but I don't understand how attention to cost doesn't include a discussion on reusability. Isn't reuse the absolute biggest cost-saver? did i miss this discussion with them?

Dont forget the Spanish company PLD space also, they really deserve some exposure also! What they have already archived with such a low budget and coming from a country with no aerospace industry is pretty incredible 😃

What an awesome look at these young companies, hopefully both will be successful!

RFA ftw! Think i'll apply

Didnt we learn bad things about having 100% oxygen around electronic equipment?

Right at the end of the video you had some awesome B roll. Please do a lightly edited video of that B roll. I am sure it will be great and everyone will love the additional content

I really enjoyed this kind of video and it very educative with different mindset on rocket building

Tim - How would you change your "perspective" on these two spacecraft today, knowing the sorted history that Boeing has generated for itself on Starliner?

what a rubbish politically correct video ))) ok ok let's don't say anything about von Braun " modern rocketry was born in europe"

how do they compete against the evolving rocket industry? You should tell the truth, how do they compete against SpaceX.

How reliable is that hair gel tho?

Smartest man alive because he listens....

such an interesting topic and video! thank you for sharing so many details of what's being done in europe. strangely enough, we need an american youtuber to share details of european space companies.. I liked it! thank you

Excellent vid, as always. I'm so hyped for Polaris Dawn! They should all get a south atlantic anomaly patch of some kind lol

Great info Tim!

Four astronauts in a high radiation environment, what could go wrong? Ask Marvel's Fantastic Four.

One thing i always forget is that these interviews are cool and all ... but Tim is going to be on the other side of these interviews in "a few years" :D It would be so funny if Jared interviewed Tim on his dear moon launch :D

🤚🏻 My name is not Keagan

We call that "cold-eyes" consulting. When you work so long on something as a team, everyone can be blind to see the obvious solution until an outsider takes a "quick look" at it.

People who can admit that they were wrong and, rather than defend their ideas, work to correct them are those that will succeed
