I hope you're as excited as I am to see Dragon flying regularly. If you enjoyed the video, do the nominal procedure, like and share.

I've just made a video about Canadarm's grabbing mechanism, so be sure to go check it out. Coming soon is an in-depth video about Space Shuttle re-entry so hit that bell icon to be notified when it's published.

Because Simply Space is based around animations and I'm a full time engineering student It's near impossible to maintain a regular upload schedule that YouTube's algorithm favors. My YouTube analytics show that the majority of views on newly released videos come from external sources outside of YouTube, like Reddit, FaceBook, Twitter and Discord. In other words, this channel depends on viewers like yourself sharing new videos. YouTube can't be counted on to spread the sort of content I upload, so if you enjoyed this video or any others on the channel please share them with others, that's what keeps this channel alive. Thank you!

Hey, YouTube recommendation finally works. I love this channel already.

This visualisation looks so simple but so satisfying. I mean even the parachute lines float on the water and keep their length. Damm good job man!

[Anothy]

I really love the style of your animations.

[rehanahmad]

Your videos are very precised. Short and easy to understand. Keep up the good work brother. Subscribed

Your animations are so satisfying! Best channel on YouTube to learn about space, really pleased to see more people noticing it. Keep them coming.

It has come to the point SoaceX will now send crew to the ISS for the first time.

Great stuff! This video was incredibly detailed. Really informative.

[MG-erdm]

A well put together video - keep up the good work.

1:43 booster: haha im the most black f9 ever
1:53 booster: im just a falcon heavy core stage*

When a rocket blows up it does not give a warning. It's just a big boom and that's the end.

Actually the shutdown of Stage 1 was part of the abort which was triggered by a predetermined speed, the shutdown of the engines wasn't actually a simulation of an issue but a part of the abort

[iamnoob]

Bro i really love all of ur videoss n insist everyone in my school to watch them all.. the animations and explanations are really very awesome.. keep it up buddy... just one question. Can u make a video purely om the concepts used in movies like the interstellar? Would help a lot
Thankss love from INDIA

Excellent video! I learned a lot about the layout of the Flight Abort Test, have they announced when it’s scheduled to take place? Also does Starliner have to undergo the same test?

[Slicerz]

Great video. Just do some work on the audio. Flatten the highs and lows and level the db across the video, will make it easier to listen. Keep up the good work

[sirostauffer]

i dont think the explosion was aerodynamic forces ;) amazing video awsome channel👌

[esoteridactyl]

Push* the capsule to safety not 'Pull' ;-) Technically it's a 'pusher' system as opposed to the 'puller' systems of the past (e.g. Apollo). According to Tim Dodd at least, which is where I learn things (and you too).
