Nice episode, I very much like where this series is going. The somewhat laid-back nature of it really leans into that "Matt Lowne Style" that makes your videos so much fun to watch.

Imagine Matt and The Everyday Astronaut doing a space news show

Matt can you try to do a recreation of the Perseverance rover, It would look amazing especially considering your past recreations.

Never forget the dude who jumped off the dragon capsule seconds after the commentator stated that they didnt want anyone to fall overboard

[stephenwevans]

"TIM, I'M COMING FOR YOU!" LOL - This is so much fun!! I especially like the music in the background.

Was the "fresh fish for the space dolphins" a reference to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?

[helixjames]

Really exited about space stuff coming to the U.K.!

Hey Matt, I got to Duna by watching all your duna videos and I just have to thank you a whole bunch, and also this series is something I’d love to see a whole bunch of.

[xynyftw]

Love these types of videos Matt! Keep the news going!

[osamaben]

I agree that the format of first covering the last week in space. And giving a brief look at interesting potential launches by various agencies and press releases by the agencies

Matt these first two vids have been great keep going and thanks for all the hard work you do every day and stay safe.

[dwarvenmoray]

This is the best space news source I have ever seen. You, also, have a very happy next seven days. I'll never stop my fascination for the cosmos.

[jeremyhill]

Keep it up, love the idea. Thanks for your efforts!

Recommendation for a future inclusion: as part of the discussion of the upcoming Ariana V launch payload (around 6:00): the mission extension vehicle for IntelSat. How will it extend the mission - will the extender merely clamp onto the satellite and help keep it in orbit, will it supply power, will it take on some of the functionality of the IntelSat or replace it entirely?

Excellent job again, a good second episode for the series.
