Thanks DAS awesome commentary! Thank you & NSF!

[yakirgr]

We NEED a joint DAS+Jack commentary!!!

[ryanhamstra]

Love the narration!! I listen at work so a video with no narration is pretty useless unless I really focus. With narration I can look at it when something interesting happens

[WilboBaggins-dmub]

1.14M subscribers would so love to count the blessings the staff at NSF have become used to. Keep counting them. You are truly blessed to be so close to the action at Starbase. You deliver to the rest of us both reality and dreams. xx

I love it when a plan comes together [🎶 DUN, DUN-DUN… 🎶]

[johnwiebe]

Those "pancake plates" looked as if they came straight from a NY suburb. The dolphin escort was cool. That was a Long Turtle.

[AlexandarSterling]

Now that I know there is a clubhouse, I like to imagine the flame tread episodes are all of you dudes hanging out there with a beer! And bacon of course…!

[fredpryde]

thank you to all the team for there hard work getting these views to us to see how progress going

[BrianMoore-tcxe]

A dolphin named Tank would give a whole new meaning to Tank watching.... Sawyer take note... lol

The numbers on the I beam could indicate the welding sequence to minimise distortion.

[hashmagandy]

[roxy]

As always super informative, you voice is just pure gold for this narrated part of nsf. Keep this up!

[jrdaparker]

Love the Das commentary! Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have looked for the dolphins or the sea turtle. Very cool!
