"On a more uplifting note" - Ryan. With a straight face. Amazing!

[bigjohn]

Scot Manly did an excellent analysis of the booster explosion in really detail pausing and almost going through it frame by frame

[axw]

As a Ukrainian, thanks for mentioning us.

Great episode, Ryan. Thank you! You're really taking the heat for the title as well. It's a question (a good one at that). You provided an answer. Appropriate title.
You didn't have to do this in a house that hot. We could have all buggered off while you went outside for some cooler(-ish) air instead of heating your room further. "Why is Ryan Helping Inform the Public?"

[CrappyIce]

Absolutely wonderful episode, with amazing production quality as well.
The focus on the human cost of Russian atroticies in Ukraine was very respectful, refreshing and unexpected (in a good way!).
You guys and gals @TMRO are brilliant, keep at it <3

[paulhaynes]

The 'Russian' bit was nicely handled. Well done.

[irri]

Quick clean and very informative. Ty 👍

[old_house_]

The music is nice in this episode. ☺️ You cut out the song i just realized! Finally! 👍

[merseybear]

Well done Ryan.... or should I say you looked well done, you were literally melting on camera! Stay cool.

[jantonkens]

@Ryan: see you are planning to use the gofundme for Psyche in summer 23. Why not just go to Florida in a month with few planned launches (eg Falcon Heavy or normal Falcon 9 launches) this autumn.... I'd be happy if you use the money for that and report those launches. Don't postpone good things for later.... (And would love to hear your reports live from KSC...). And then maybe start a new gfm for Psyche 23 😘

[CausticLemons]

I hope you're getting on well through that major heatwave.

[SeaJay_Oceans]

It's unfortunate that political actions are getting in the way of good science. USA & Russia space exploration has worked hand and hand for many years.

_Why?_ *Rogozin* is *_history_* and we know how the *Soviets* treated history, don't we?

[TruthRising_TV]

hello, I have my theories on why its important to have 1 U.S cosmonaut and one Russian cosmonaut onboard each launch to ISS in regards to a rescue mission should falcon9/crew dragon or another ship encounter any issues requiring a rescue mission. Can you provide what information you have as to why it would be wise to have at least one U.S cosmonaut and one Russian Cosmonaut to confirm my findings as well, thanks- truth rising tv

[johnhanson]

I don't like the headline. SpaceX is flying these missions to ISS under contract to NASA. NASA is responsible for the crew not SpaceX

[Zeppflyer]

Man, if I didn't already trust you guys for good and interesting reporting, I'd've blocked a channel with a clickbait title like that.

[ADHJkvsNgsMBbTQe]

Good reporting as usual. Might want to reconsider the video title though.

[Rendaro]

Yeah going to add my voice to the "this title is click bait trash" crowd. It's insulting, and any false equivalency justification along the lines of "well they're 'technically' helping Russia" or "saying NASA and SpaceX is equal" is nonsense. They are literally 2 separate entities, with one contracted to the other to provide a service.

Even worse when the channel is owned by a literal SpaceX employee, good job bringing your employers reputation in disrepute for a few more Youtube views.

[AstroTommy]

You should cut down on the war propaganda a bit and concentrate more on space related stuff
