Deep Space Update on Tour - Asteroid Day, Comet Interceptor, Dragonfly

[nickludlam]

Hi Scott, would you consider doing a longer episode specifically on Lagrange points? I think I know the basics, but L4/L5 are points I don’t quite understand

That is super interesting to say the least....l am 75 years old and remembering the first satellite in space "SPUTNIK" it was a big our family at that time and heard the sound it made on an old Radio we had back many years ago....W0W how time goes on fast....Anyway thanks so much for friend steve from Kentucky

Thanks for the update and glad to see that your shielding is working. That entry into frances atmosphere (~40C°) was quite toasty - fly safe! :)

[gindling]

Thank you Scott! That song and video is like a subspace anomaly and a Tachyon had a disco fueled love child!

"You should google it on youtube"
Hmmm... nah, I will bing it on vimeo.

Unfortunately during the first flight attempt at Titan, Dragonfly got a firmware update from DJI...

That was a very cool vidéo, thank you for all this content. Have a good time in Europe !

@ 5:09 I’m so proud that Scott has come a long way from “not [being] an atrophysicist, I just pretend to be one on the Internet”, to being “Scott Manley: *Astrophysicist*”

You’ve come so far, mate. Congrats on your promotion :b

Thank you so much for all the work you do! Yours is my favorite channel on Youtube.

I now have that song stuck in my head.

[Daekar]

That was a hilarious music video. Well played, Scott!

[Jesse__H]

Sarah Brightman, she played Blind Mag in REPO, if im not mistaken?

She was the best vocalist in that film! So pretty too 😊

Scott, I'm so glad we don't rely on you for music reviews :)

It's fun to think about some cool parts of life, like I have shaken the hand of and partied with a guy who has handled comet dust. At staff parties I see Denton Ebel, a planetary scientist at the American Museum of Natural History. He and his team were sent comet dust from the Stardust mission. A fun guy and life of the party when not engaging his enormous brain power.

Commentary on how great the Space Age is: I was also able to touch the Moon. The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum (downtown) has a Moon rock on display mounted in a way that lets visitors touch it.

lol, that one time when mr Manley is filming himself and my appartment building is in full view (second left from the church) to the far right. Antwerp... I just looked out of my window and waved at you Scott, even though you're probably asleep already. (and yes, I could wave at you any day, it would be roughly the same direction too, but still, this is cool) Have a nice trip to the Netherlands and back home. ;-)

You're always drinking US beers that I don't know, now you're in the right place to try out some of my own favourites. Also, a nuclear interplanetary octocopter sounds nice and absolutely logical, Titan's cold atmosphere makes both dissipating nuclear heat and flying so easy it would be a shame not to try it out. It's also one of the most interesting places in the solar system, generally speaking. In KSP/RO I sent a winged craft there on similar principles but real life ground is obviously not runway-smooth.

Patrick Michele came to my school on Thursday (they organised an event because of Asteroid day) super interesting guy, who had lot of stories to tell.
