BTW, I get the video via podcast, I don't see any adds. That's not the "reason" I get the podcast, nothing against YouTube, I just prefer the delivery.
1. Put a PayPal "tip jar" on the main site. Suggest donating during the 'cast.
2. Get sponsors. I don't think most people would mind watching a short ad if it's something space geeks would be interested in and as long as it wasn't right i the middle. I know several podcasts that are sponsored and just have a very short 10-15 second add at the end in the 'cast. Not intrusive.
From here on out i will not partake in the use or purchasing of any item or service i see advertised on youtube! please join me and help keep ads from killing youtube. boycott with me people
@milesobrien3 miles, first off you're the man and i love your show. secondly if i had money to spare and wasn't a poor college student yes i would be very willing. Lastly i apologize, i didn't know the adds youtube throws up on the videos helped pay for productions like yours.
In this case sacred would mean no show at all. Sorry but we are not independently wealthy - and people really don't want to pay for what they see on the web. So there's the rub that proves the old adage that nothing is, in fact, "sacred".
oRayUKo, The four of us producing this show are volunteers. The few ads we have are keeping us on. It's either that or TWIS disappears, so I'm sure you understand.
I see - I left that comment because for a few years there has been no ads on any video's... now we see them at the bottom of many videos while their playing... and now you cant view a lot of YT videos at all unless you watch an ad first.
Its a shame, but I understand how the world works - and I really thought your videos we're actualy a tv program uploaded to youtube (arguably wouldn't make it right) but to great credit to your professionalism
Just wanted to thank Miles and the rest of the team at Spaceflight Now for all the work they do. Your excellent reporting provides a great service of public awareness that's desperately needed during this time of transition in our space program. Great job, keep it up!
MILES - COME SELL YOUR SHOW IN CANADA - WE'LL PUT IT ON TV! Yep! It's all about Hockey and Science for the people of Canada! Strange combo I know but our ears are open to what your show is about.
Check into stations in Canada - PLEASE - Everyone here should have the opportunity to watch your shows. Canadians love you - and they love the topics you cover.
Buzz Aldrin made the point for me. NASA will still need more money and a new HLV soon to do its work. I have written letters of support to the senators you mentioned.
Nice work Miles. Please keep up the good work because I know CNN won't ! >__0
The fact that so many Congress persons and senators are frowning on this idea has drawn me into the drama of NASA like no other story before.
I hope Obama can see this IMAX film to know what NASA means to so many Americans and people of other nations. THEY ARE HEROES! and Heroes need to be rewarded with more adventure and discovery TODAY! Not 20 years from now.
Too Much on IMAX. Still, I love this show for reasons I have already said last week. But what keeps me coming back for more is the DRAMA from OBAMA on his plans for NASA. I really feel it is the worst idea for NASA to abandon Manned Space Flight to private companies for the unforeseeable future.
NASA needs a grand vision that Obama and Bolden are not communicating with any clarity to the public. You can't take the Space Ship out of the NASA formula in the public mind and tell them TAXIS some 5 years from now will do. Its like telling the U.S. NAVY to rent ships from Cruse liners. Bolden got his ass kicked on the Hill in front of so many Congress people because even they see PANIC in this awful plan for NASA. Where is the NEXT destination? The Moon said Bolden. Is this man on Drugs?

Do you have any suggestions on how we might pay for our production? I don't suppose you would pay a subscription fee...

This excellent show needs to get on TV as well for wider distribution. I could see this doing very well on Discovery or Science Channel. 5 stars!

From my point of view USA needs to rebuild the Saturn-V. This could be the best solution for having a suitable new HLV.
Atlantis135 2 years ago
The Ares V would be much easier to build, as the engines and for that rocket exist today. The Ares V can send more payload into orbit and the moon.
The factory that built the F-1 engines for the Saturn V does not exist.
Kapitananime 2 years ago
@Kapitananime Last estimate for the Ares getting done was the late 2020's. The Saturn 5 was built in less time than that.

Why hasn't NASA or any tv stations picked this up? or even Hulu? Hulu should get on this asap. this is such a wonderful program.

@Kapitananime
I think obama get's it raw, he has to fix a secondhand car and people want the same back as a better car now!.
it's sad to have a gap.
But there is a history and it's not all that clear for many people how nasa has become a budget crushed entity with a failed plan.
And then how to restructure nasa to bold goals.
The up/down would always go to constuctors in a way.
ESA for example only has had that way, from the start.
With arianescape.
Ps: agree to much imax.

That'd be interesting Chris, but they need to cover costs somehow. Perhaps if they got some grant funding for doing it.
