I look forward to Elysia's space updates every week. Never boring and always exciting. Thank you everyone at nasaspaceflight for all the work that is put into these weekly updates. 😊

[SteenLarsen]

Great, well presented overview of the week! Thanks NSF!

Holy sh Falcon 9 flying more frequently than some train services now...

[dhl]

really like your reports. Good balance between friendly and professional.

[MrKellymcilrath]

Thanks for another awesome TWIS Elysia! Also thank you NSF!!!

[Trex]

Thanks NSF and Elysia, love your enthusiasm!

[iandennis]

Thank you for the update. I would like add I had the pleasure of visiting the Intrepid Museum last week and found it extremely interesting especially the space related exhibitions.

[johnwiles]

I still can't get my head around the fact that Starliner is INCAPABLE of automated undock and return without a software update that takes 4 WEEKS to perform.

[corrinastanley]

Great update, thanks Elysia and NSF team. This Week in Spaceflight is always a informative round - up of all the current space related news .

[chrisjbarrow]

Great summary as always, I always look forward to these 👍

[larrypetro]

Excellent reporting on the latest research on a putative Mars ocean.

So by the end of the month we should have a Starliner decision, launch of Polaris Dawn, and the arrival of Blue Origin's landing barge. The Everyday Astronaut got a great tour of BO's Cape factory with part 2 of the launch area promised. Really puts BO in a different light.

Man you really nailed the news cycle in that opening....it's not just space news, but damn near any paper or discovery that sounds amazing ( whether it's still preliminary or in review or even just in discussion ) that the news gets a wiff of always seems to get blown up outta all proportion and hyped then when it turns out that the media seriously overstated things people act like it's Nasa or the scientists or the universities or whatevers fault....then the cycle starts all over again. Ridiculous

[MickRonald]

Thank you Elysia, Alex, Derek, Kevin, and videographers for this week's TWiS. Very informative as always.

[jebediahkerman]

Holy smokes, this spaceflight business is getting so crowded I can't remember the beginning of the updates once I reach the end! 😂

[adriangillies]

Elysia' you rock! I so enjoy your weekly updates. You present a great amount of info and make it fun. Thank you!

[donaldsmith]

She's back!! Missed her last week.. once again great voice and great video

[peterford]

Technically, the very first sentence of this video is wrong. It was the _announcement_ that happened "while it prepares for Polaris Dawn".

[bhar]

I really like your videos - it's nice to see the variety of things that are happening around the world concerning space. Just a small point of feedback though, maybe consider taking the music volume down some while you guys are talking. There's a lot of points in the video where it was kind of distracting to listen to you talk and have the music playing. Not a huge deal or anything, but I would suggest maybe about half of what it was set at? Anyways thanks for the video!

[johnwiebe]

Thank you for another space news update! RE: Sunni & Butch, I think they will come down on starliner. However, more interesting would be a starliner/dragon rendezvous test before using dragon down.
