Warm Regards,

[veritasium]

I saw this video before all y'all (because I'm at Destin's house) and it's awesome. So... First. For real.

[Tyrell-do]

So much warmth in these videos. If that makes any sense. The cordial interaction between men and women of science for the purpose of education, Destin's playful yet respectful style of interviewing, the family stuff in the background, it radiates positivity and hopefulness for the future. You don't get that in many other channels.

[grandpaLowff]

Holy cow you just had your program advertised from space, that's pretty cool

[JMatson]

The fact that the scientist was unsure that Italy used HIS design until Destin brought it to his attention, and the reaction he had.. brought a tear to my eye.. so beautiful!

[danieltsmoke]

"I have 10.8 million subs" 
"Oh yeah? Well my stuff is filmed in space..." *Drops mic*

[BillWiltfong]

She did the outro from space. She... she told us about her country's contribution just to explain a shutter... from space. I got chills, and tears. Holy junk that was awesome.

[FastPaull]

I would've liked to have seen more of that engineers recation to you telling him that his design is actually the on being used. He seemed stunned about it.

[doug]

Guy almost sounds like he's tearing up from the fact that one of his projects is on the ISS. So heart warming

8:04 "What are these called? O rings."
Background music:

[SpeakerMunkey]

I love how easily the mechanism worked because of the lack of gravity.

[more]

O rings work great in space but on earth for some stupid reason fail all the time. Im moving to the space station where o rings last forever

[samuellawrence]

5:42 you can tell he lowkey emotional abt it

[spicy]

That was really cool of her to do that for you!

[JIYkp]

5:41 Very humbling moment.
There are so many great scientists that don't get the recognition they deserve.

[justin]

I love how he said "I hope it's flawless" that makes me feel better as an engineering student.

[whissie]

“I hope it’s flawless”. Despite to part is working for over more then 2 decades (?) an engineer will still have his doubts. Could i have made it better? Could i have made it more durable? Could i, could i.... Love it!

[juliaslane]

"It's called....really good engineering." hahahaha that killed me.

[MathieusTheWalkingWitness]

Destin: "Well, what happens if you have a leak?"
Don: (huge gulp) "uh uh uh, well, I guess you have a leak!" (Then smiles as if that was a good response)
Me: 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[matthiashavrez]

The dude at the end, kinda not daring to ask the question "So, are you sure they are still using that same design? They kinda never got back to me"
You could see the stars in his eyes :)

[AlexTacescu]

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen, mostly because it is so well put together! Most people would stop at talking to astronauts, but you took it one step further and talked to the actual engineer who designed it! I applaud you! Subscribed and liked!
