Thanks for the chat guys. Always a blast!

I love this idea of getting the 3 of you together after every Starship Launch as a kind of Space Launch afterparty and discussion.

Its a Great idea and i do hope you continue these kinds of collaborations, maybe even have a series of it, where you 3 get together and talk all sorts of Space News and launches every so often after any significant space event.
Anyway i do hope you continue this talkshow/series, i think its fantastic!

[dmillerz]

Fraser, Thank you so much for getting the three of you together. I really appreciate all three of you creators. Together, I know that I am getting a premium view of the IFT-4 debrief.

A Canadian, an Australian and a Scot walk into a bar

[rosemaryhowell]

WOW! The three masters! Scott Manley, Marcus House, and Fraser Cain! Thank-you! One stop!

[Nil-jsbf]

Thanks Scott for explaining why we shouldn't breathe a sigh of relief when we hear peak heating :)

[chrisschrimpf]

Three of my favorite science communicators. Love you guys!

[XJapan]

Why doesn’t YouTube make it so we can like a video more than once? 😤 This video deserves way more exposure.

[CBaggers]

I love that Manley seems to be a fan of spaceflight rather than of a particular provider. His commentary feels much more based on what can be observed rather than fandom. These flight recaps are ace, please keep doing them for major launches!

[whoneedshandlesanyway]

Literally the "this is fine" meme when you are slowly gliding towards Earth while your control surfaces disintegrate in a fiery blaze.

[alansnyder]

My three favorite sources of space/astronomy news. Glad to see Marcus, Scott, and Fraser all together.

[dantreadwell]

Marcus was absolutely right. It's now an engineering challenge. That means eventually, we will make it work

[ian_macdonald]

Fraser, don't ever stop what you're doing in getting these guys together after moments like these.

Scott and Marcus know their stuff, and do their homework better than anyone else. You're all such a great resource in understanding where we are with these massive projects for our species, and seeing where we are going.

[tamilve]

Scott with all his details is always great to hear. He has different perspective and some new thinking always whenever i listen to him

[mckeeasdf]

Just waiting for Starship launches to be as routine as the falcon 9s are.

[campfirecult]

I love when all three of you get together to form Voltron 😂🔥

[AKjohndoe]

The most trustworthy voices in space reporting all in one place.. I wish this was more regular but who wouldn't? TY!

[rorykeegan]

This "tradition" of yours Fraser is the best breakdown of these test flights on the net. Well done, keep it up chaps. I look forward to Scott getting the dressing gown of doom out for the next one!

[CessnaPilot]

Loving the launch reviews with Scott and Marcus!

[AlexandreLeone]

I haven't realize that the ring ejected have a mass of almost 10 little cars... And this is huge! People still have no idea on the scale of the stuff we are talking about... By the way, thanks for all you guys for spending time explaining us how fantastic is the time we are living in, regarding space exploration! :-"
