  • @colinbarnard6512
    @colinbarnard6512 Před 2 měsíci +2

    Hi Felix and Team. A couple of points: first, it's Sunita Williams, aka 'Suni'(Sunny), Sunita is pronounced sue-NEE-ta, not 'sue-NAA-ta. Ms. Williams, prior to her becoming Chris Ferguson (if you ever want to find out the 'dirt' behind 'Starliner', just ask Cdr Ferguson....under oath, cuz I think Boeing put a contractually-obligated gag order on the poor guy). Prior to being assigned the unenvible task of going up in a potential lemon, she took part in ISS Expeditions 14 & 15 and Expeditions 32 & 33. She's participated in 7 EVA's and served as ISS Commander on Expedition 33. Notably, she 'ran' the Boston Marathon on Expedittioni 15. She was seperated at birth from RUSH's Geddy Lee.
    Captain Williams has flown on both the shuttle and Soyuz. Starliner will be her third crew vehicle to fly. As much as I mistrust and dislike Boeing (I won't fly any Boeing airplane, for obvious reasons. It's Airbus and Beriev for me!) I wish Captain Williams and Spacecraft Commander Butch Wilmore all the best safe luck. Any crewed spaceflight is something to celebrate, regardless of country of origin, and spacecraft type.
    As a recommendation from a Canadian sitting on a (frozen) cheep seat, I'd suggest to the US State Department, and NASA, that they consider inducting Russian cosmonauts and Chinese taikonauts into the Astronaut Hall of Fame at KSC. Such a move would really impress both the Russian and Chinese populations, without any intercession from the Russian or PRC governments.
    No, 'Let's dive right in', today? Regardless, your enthusiasm is palpable. As for 'predicting' what happens on Thursday, there's no way I could opine on the subject without extensive disclosure from SpaceX engineers. Since the company is privately owned, getting SpaceX to divulge trade secrets isn't going to happen, especially with China trying to replicate SpaceX's tech with what I imagine is a serious amount of industrial espionage.

      ​@@WhataboutitHi Felix: I really feel bad for pointing Suni Williams' name pronunciation for you. I was actually thinking the mistake was with your writers. You seem to be a very knowledgeable chap. Most NASA fans know who the astros are, and I know you're one of them. I figured you were reading from a script, not making a mistake yourself. While I've got you, have you ever heard of this book: 'The Heavens and the Earth: A Political History of the Space Age, by Walter McDougall? It's a bit dated, being published in 1985. However, for me at least (M.A. History), it remains the best book of its type I've ever read. I strongly recommend it. And thank you for the personal touch: YOU rock, Sir!

    Now all I need to do is make sure I don’t blow getting up in time to see the launch live! It’s still early days. We’re hopeful that all of the planned mission objectives go off without a hitch. It kind of puts you on edge. Chances are things will go really well. This isn’t their first rodeo. They’ve been launching Falcon 9 for what now seems like ages. And hundreds have been completely successful. IFT-1 and IFT-2 provided a lot of data that’s led to massive improvements to every aspect of Starship and its support systems. With each flight huge strides have been made. You have to expect and hope for that to continue with flight number 3. Time to put our big boy pants on and steel ourselves for whatever comes in those early morning hours only days from now.

    My understanding is that not all of the P213 tape was removed but only the tape that was "feasible" to remove was removed. The tape that was not removed was the tape located in difficult to reach places that would have required a complete dismantling of the Starliner. It was decided that that was too expensive and time consuming to do so NASA and the manufacturers decided it was within safe operating limits. I have no idea whether the remaining tape is safe or not but I do know that history repeats itself; especially if you don't learn from it. If this flight or ensuing flights by this capsule should fail because of tape, then the entire NASA management team will have to be held responsible and terminated and Boeing removed from any further contract considerations. It will result in years of delay in the space program and most importantly the possible death of space travelers.

    It would be perhaps interesting for your viewers to have a live schematic showing the approximate position of the starship in relation to the earth so that we all could have a better understanding of the "planned" position despite the lack of actual starship connectivity???
    Just a question, I presume that SpaceX or perhaps NASA or Air Force/USA Navy is constantly tracking the Starship as it is travelling through the upper atmosphere, it would be very interesting to see what is probably going on in the background(behind the limited information on the SpaceX presentation)???
    Also, are there ships or earth based tracking stations following the trajectory of the Starship before, during and after re-entry/splashdown??? The above questions would make very interesting viewer consumption.
    Hopefully you will be able provide some of this information on future reviews or launches.
    Thank you again for your fantastic productions and promoting this super aspect of humankind's development through our times!

    About the fuel transfer test being from the header tank to the main tank: the purpose of the header tank is to ensure fuel is available to relight the engines for the landing flip manuvuer. After the fuel transfer test the header tank will be empty. So that seems to indicate a hard splash down instead of an attempted soft one. BUMMER!! I consider that a missed opportunity.

I believe Starship will soon be like Falcon 9's and be launching and landing every few days to the point that it won't be as exciting in 4 years or so. I'm hoping to see space ships like in Star Wars or Star Trek in my lifetime.

    WB 57 Aircraft 2:44 Cool. How convenient it just happens to be reserved on the 14th😂 I had no idea that that's where we got the photos of the Starship last time. I cant wait to be online with you and the AWI Team watched it with you all. Those new cameras are badass. If your closest camera is going to be only 200ft away which is so cool but I hope it doesn't get too hot and 💥 Did you mean 200 yards? ALL SO COOL 😊

    We might prefer SpaceX beat Boeing but you're right, I think most of us would like Boeing to eventually succeed so there is a backup to SpaceX (same for New Glenn). I missed the first Starliner flights, I hope to catch the next one! SpaceX has reinvigorated competition in the space industry :)

But in 2017 it was 31417, which is only a four digit approximation, and today it is 31424 which is only three digits. Let's put a stake through the heart of this AMERICAN only meme.

    The size of the New Glenn appears to be exaggerated by about 10% in each dimension or about 34% overall in that comparison image. And even if we were to correct that, it seems awfully large to be able to lift off with only 7 BE-4 engines. The current Raptor 2 is nearly as powerful as the BE-4 (despite being much smaller), and the Starship has 33 of them. For further comparison, the Vulcan with 6 SRBs will have greater liftoff thrust than the New Glenn.

    • @simongeard4824

    So - can't wait, Thank you for your great color coverage. Of the Space X Starship launches.
    One thing NASA failed to understand is if NFL football games were covered the way they did moon launches the NFL would not exist. Sure mission control has to be dry and matter of fact 99 % of the time, and test pilot's have to have ice cold blood, nerves of steel, and the only emotional control has to go to lightning fast refexes. But that does not get an audience. We need someone who has actual excitement about what is going on and has the ability to transmit that to the rest of us space nerds out there.
    I don't want someone so tied up in their inner monolog that they forget about the actual launch happening over their shoulder.
    In the sixties Walter Cronkite maximum emotion, was taking off his glasses.
    So maybe you could do a skit for us taking off your sunglases and saying " well it's on it way" LOL.

  • @smavtmb2196

    I heard the weather might be bad Thursday at Boca Chica. Hope not. So excited and nervous for IFT-3. I think if separation/hot staging goes well Ship 28 will atleast make it to reentry, but will it survive that? I wish SpaceX was planning to test a flip/soft landing with the ship rather than crashing/ belly flop. I worry booster 10 will again have engine issues (after) hot staging. If it does atleast part of the problem might be that the hot staging ring is a bit too small, causing a chain reaction of issues.

    • @mikegardner107
