I litterly laughed out loud on " starliner may rescue dragon". Yeah ok.

[learsiyenoham]

A no launch week!😱 Thanks for filling in the episode with enlightening info Elysia and NSF team!

[corrinastanley]

Thanks Elysia and NSF team, great update.

So you're telling me in an emergency that required the use of the manual steering in starliner will actually get even more dangerous for the fact the spacecraft can't deal with manual control properly?

The audio was better (less harsh) this week. Thank you Elysia and team!

With the Falcon 9 being cleared now Polaris Dawn can happen soon. The most important space flight this year after the attempted catch of the booster on Starship flight 5.

Elysia, you are the best! These are great pics of Mars! little dots of olivine look suspiciously like the little dots of combined metal formed during welding on Earth! The high heat and energy environment needed to create them on Mars was likely available during a plasma arc event, which is accounted for by the Electric Universe Theory.

Elysia Segal makes spaceflight exciting. Keep her forever!

[Kyzyl_Tuva]

Thank you Elysia. Appreciate the Friday updates

[recoilrob]

Elysia is such a bright and cheerful person it's always a pleasure to watch her reports. If she isn't really that bright and cheerful...then she's a hell of an actress!

[BenjySparky]

Elysia and NSF, y'all rock! ❤ Peace

[MichaelWalker-wupq]

This is necessary to rescue our stranded astronauts. I think it's more likely by the day that the Falcon 9 will be utilized to get our astronauts back home.

I wonder if Elysia or Alex gets the pun token for moving in the right direction? The delightful mirth that Elysia displayed has me guessing it was Alex and she had to cover up the internal groan while presenting it. Thank you both; it put a smile on my face.

[SebastianWellsTL]

Awesome! Time to set our eyes back to that 144 launch goal!!!

[TheBunzinator]

That experiment on the Blue Joyride sounds very Kerbal.

Best space news videos out there <3

[danceswithmules]

It WOULD be beautiful to have two systems to back each other up, provided they both WORKED...

[MrKellymcilrath]

Great TWIS Thank you Elysia! Thank you NSF!!

[mariusmeyer]

Resupply mission with a crew rated Dragon might be the answer.

[danapeck]

Thanks. Love to hear what Lueders is saying.
