Why do I ask for notifications that arrive 5 hrs late? Missed another one.

Can someone please tell me who the person is that's mentioned in the tracking shot & if he has his own YouTube Channel?

I heard him say what sounded like "Chuck Briggs" but when i search for that name in YouTube, the only results I get are for a musician.

I would love to be able to subscribe to everyone he uses when showing these tracking shots. I don't want to watch coverage on X & I'm tired of listening to NSF & this is now my go to Channel for Launch coverage.

Thanks in advance for any help! :-)

I'm right across from Cape Canaveral I live here, there's been a lot of rockets lately lol, way more than usual, I can only imagine what it's going to be like when SpaceX moves the starship here.

Did they use the new Blue Origin rocket engines?.... I'm really curious to see the new engines in action...

Magnifique travail ! Congratulations to your all team !!

If the satellite works as well as the years delayed exploding B4 engine or the go nowhere New Glen rocket, spacex has ZERO to worry about.

Gee, I thought I would be able to watch Amazon launch their satellites on their own rocket. What happened to that?

[Goyahkla]

Would love to get rid of irrelevant info on the screen!

Past 2pm central, 3pm Eastern. What time zone are you going by?

I guess amazons space program went the same way as their prime service. Remember the 2 day deliveries? Remember the oh it hasn’t been shipped yet, but it just magically moved 2, 000 miles on its own. Remember the ad free movies and tv programs? Remember amazon purchasing freevee and moving almost everything to freevee to eye and ear rape everyone with ads and make even more money from you via forced ad revenue? Remember when packages were delivered on time? Remember when amazon held orders to save themselves on shipping and delivering multiple orders in one package? I could go on, but the best thing I ever did was cancel prime. amazon thinks their customers are stupid!

Another awesome lift off and flight! 💕

Why did this have to happen while I was in school

[snorkelbob]

I'm surprised that Bosos didn't launch them on his Blue dild@ rocket.

Amazon might be late to the game. Musk has over 4, 500 starlink satellites already in orbit, and doesn't have to wait for a ride.

Wow Elon sure can put em up there, , he is a genius, I mean the tunnels, hyper loops, electric semi...take my money!!!! Oh yea he already is in Govt Subsidy.

[scottymoondogjakubin]

Kuiper will fail ! The costs alone will kill it ! A case of too little too late ! at least we may see a rocket launch today !

Thats the end of Atlas! Last Russian rocket engine left.!!🙄
