Still can’t believe how clean R3 looks. Big congrats to all involved in the development.

seems Elysia and Jack pretty busy lately but props to Ryan on covering everything for this week

[MrKellymcilrath]

Great TWIS Ryan & Elysia, Thank you NSF!

Boeing should have figured the issues with Starliner a long time ago. NASA needs to ask for their money back.

[jacmn]

Elysia's voice, pacing, smile, and mannerisms are awesome!

[ianm]

Love your updates, keep up the good work, thanks.

[WilboBaggins-dmub]

Hope you can explain starliner to us simple types

New Glenn flight hardware is so beautiful. One of the best looking launch vehicles out there!

[gaius_enceladus]

Raptor 3 looks awesome! Sleek and smooth, like the interior of a Dragon capsule!

[peter_althoff]

Thanks to Ryan & Elysia & Team

The Raptor 3 engine moved a lot of components inside the metal casing, thanks to additive manufacturing. It's definitely fully assembled, otherwise it wouldn't be functional.

[PoliticalAnimal]

New Glenn is smaller than I expected, it's bigger than the Falcon 9 for sure, but it's got nothing on the Starship Behemoth

[HouseGurke]

China is doing its best to ensure that the Kessler syndrome does not remain just a theoretical possibility

[raymondwarth]

Man for a partially Assembled engine it seems to work great.

[Jtretta]

I think Butch and Sunni would be safer just lying on the floor of crew 8's dragon for emegency evac than on strandliner. Scrounge some spare padding and straps from somewhere to make it a bit more comfy for them and they'd be fine.

Bro where have you been, as soon as I started watching and liking this channel you were hosting and next I know they switched commentators by then I was hooked anyway thanks for the space info and glad to see you back doing videos 🖖

[patriklindholm]

3:50: Glenn and Falcon were both displaying only their first stages at the port, Glenn also being more elevated on a higher stand thus but appearing slightly taller, albeit them both being roughly equal.

[thomasjearson]

Thank you for this. Simple questions, simple answers.

[tmg]

Wow, three Ryan videos this week. Great job as always. Did you get a bonus?

[ryanodneal]

Wow, "Not Fully Assembled" cracks me all up. Str8 MEME
