NASA/SpaceX Hold NASA Social for Falcon 9 Launch

NASA and Space Exploration Technologies invited a group of their social media followers to a NASA Social at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The event was in anticipation of the launch of SpaceX's second Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) demonstration flight. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is targeted to lift off at 4:55 a.m. EDT on May 19, in an attempt to become the first commercial company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station.

Guys stop spamming about Kurt... This is supposed to be an informational video showing all the people from the NASASocial and their questions. I personally like all the questions and the answers they gave to them. Not just Kurt's, but ALL of them. This is actually a good way to get info on the Falcon 9 rocket and the SpaceX program. I like learning about the ISS, Falcon9, and the SpaceX program in general. Just stop spamming about Kurt and focus on astronomy, like me.

I remember seeing kurt's face in the garden of the gods a while back. Almost everyone else (including me) were like. "WOW, I never thought Kurt looked like that! And know I am like. " Oh cool, it's Kurt.".

kurt is the guy that asked the question about how the commentator ended up doing this work after going to journalism school. But that's not the reason why everybody knows him, he's makes youtube videos and has a channel with almost 300.000 subs. Recently on the reddit of the gaming group he's part of, someone posted a video of one guy (also from that gaming group) having an interview on television. Then someone asked if he was the first to be on television and then someone posted this.

One of the guys asking a question, he does one of the more popular Minecraft series and he's a big fan of space. He's in the video at one point and posted this link on one of his videos. As far as I'm aware he's never shown his face on any of his videos so this is the only opportunity most fans'll have to see his face. May sound a little sad to you, but it's big for us, we've been watching his videos for years now and have no idea what he looks like!

Being interested in astronomy AND meteorology, this was pretty informative. I like learning about NASA, sattelites, rockets, and outer space, PLUS watching Kurtjmac, so this was really good. (continued from last comment)

[joshbovitz]

thanks alot i was just randomly scrolling though the vid to find him

[iPodEverywhere]

Being an kid intrested in astronomy, this was pretty informative. And I love how Kurt's video is the first on shown in related vids.

[Gaseous_Snake]

It's a little sad that a Minecraft LP has exponentially more views than this video. We need a higher national attention span for science.
I love Kurt, and I'm sure he'd be the first to agree.

[Dweesil]

He do have a "Behind the Scenes" video where you can see him.

[headcrab]

Sorry, no, he asks a question at 1:52:20. He's the one with the radio-voice XD

I guess it would have helped if I was a little more specific. Sorry about that!

[smolians]

Can someone just give me the exact time you can see Kurt at its most clearest of time?? Like enough so i can see his face clearly?

[MaxxBru]

Man that guy at 1:36:50 Is clearly the expert in the room. What a stunner. KURT 4 PRESIDENT 2K12

[headcrab]

Kurt plays video games on youtube, and he has somewhere around 50, 000 subscribers. Basically, he showed up to this even (Guy in the green tee on the left), and everyone goes insane. He actually said that he hates when people do this

[Vicioussama]

yay Kurt :D

but ya, I wanna follow this stuff more. Where can I follow NASA better (for those of us who hate Twitter/facebook >.>)

[KarstenOkk]

Watch the specials. He's done a ton of irl videos.

[AntiMatter]

Kurt didn't send me..I have no idea who the hell that is lmao..I've loved space travel and have tracked private space companies for about a year now.

[kris_p_bacon]

And his video in the Garden of the Gods ... if you're old-school. ^^

[Lancemasterz]

What a question. Top notch stuff by Kurt.

[ImJordyyy]

1:37:00 "You have hit a very interesting point"

atta boy Kurt

[frankenmuth]

Must hold my tongue. Someone brought this to my knowledge although he has not sent me. It is sad for such a possibly pivotal even of history there are so little views
