Matt your content is so important and you're an international treasure

[diegeticfridge]

You should definitely host a live reaction to the launch!

Amazing video as always Matt! Cant wait for the first orbital launch of Starship ⭐

[Holy_Cow_II]

I hope the starship launches on the 15 cause that will be my bday and this would be the best gift ever

Blue Origin explosion was probably caused by a dangling wire not being removed properly at the hands of a professional level wire-yanking special technician.

I think we can agree with ULA that if unexpected explosions are gonna happen, better on the test stand where we expect unexpected booms

Starship could lunch as soon as a week!? I am just.. blown away with the speed SpaceX has been moving.
I cannot wait to see the blue flame of the most powerful rocket ever built!

I often wonder if an engineer from the 70s or the 90s was able to watch just one of these videos how much would they be able to infer about spaceflight in the 2020s. Would they be surprised by the mention of an "international space station"? Might they be disappointed by the fact we weren't already back on the moon?

I love how specifically dated to this era of spaceflight these feel. Like this couldn't exist at any other time, and there's something special about that.

Hey man. I've been watching your content for a while. Great videos, thanks. Last week I finally managed to get to the Kennedy Space Centre and we stuck around to watch the SpaceX launch on the morning of the 7th of April. Awesome!

petition for a mission to the mun with an apollo vessel. the twist is that you can't use SAS

The new helicopter for sample return has been around for a while actually. I spoke with some people at JPL, where they had a mock-up of the sample return helicopter, and I’m not sure if it’s my memory or something changed, but I think they mentioned replacing the rover with the helicopter instead.

[sonicsupersam]

Been hyped for this video since starship was looking ready

Re: Roberts Road...
SpaceX may have redesigned the Florida Highbay, and the steel is being shipped to BC.
Let's keep an eye out for new foundation work at KSC.

[superockets]

Man this news is so important, I am watching this while walking around the school and skipping lessons

[Andstronaut]

I know what Matt is building, a custom mission control for KSP1, with actual buttons :))

[NaeroSpace]

It makes me happy that you say "Glover" like "Clover" :)

[anonomyspizza]

Not gonna lie i kinda miss the history segments. I know it’d be the same thing every year, but it was fun

[goinpostal]

Blue Origin brings a whole new meaning to “make it rain”
