 Yeah, cuz it's five. It's 1702 on the clock my friends. We're going. We're going. That's right. We're going. We're going. It's going. It's going. It's going. It's going. It's going. It's going. And that means that we are up and running and it's a nice little audio cue for us. And hi everybody. How's it going? Are you having a great week because it's, I'm glad to be back. And as you can tell, I'm totally prepared to be back as well. If you don't know who I am, I am Jared, one of the members of tomorrow. What did, what did Jamie call me? The Aerospace Agerid? I have no idea. The Aerospace Ahead? I can't remember. But I'm involved. Chief Aerodynamicist. Chief Aerodynamicist of a very long time. What's up, Colton? Also next to me, got the amazing Ryan who we should get a plug in before we go too far into the show about what you're going to be doing for Psyche with that. Oh yeah. And then over in that, over in that room over there where there are windows that allow me to look in. What room? The room that you're in. Which room? The control room for Station 204. I see you pointing it out. The telemetry room that you're in. This room? Right now. This room? Yes. That one. Oh. That room right there. Yeah, that's me. That is you. And yeah, that's how we do it here. So very, very good. Glad to have a good dada here. Just tuning in. The Starliner is holding at 10 meters. The teams have decided to retract the NASA docking system. The ring that was extended is now retracted to allow them to reset the system and the teams are looking at the docking system. Teams are now evaluating the next opportunity to push in for docking. And we expect to be reporting that soon. They're trying to turn it off and turn it back on. Yeah, the docking adapter. I believe that they're cycling it from open to close. Because they are having an issue with it there. Oh boy. Also, I just want to highlight, too, that we were able to hear a NASA commentator and not talk over them. I almost did, but I stopped myself. We'll see. That's progress, right? Yeah, sounds like it. I like the sound of progress. Glad to have you all here with us today. As you are either watching live or you are finding out through watching this on demand, Starliner is sitting about 10 meters away from the International Space Station right now. If you go outside, and you can see the International Space Station, Starliner is too small and you can't see it probably. I don't know, maybe you can have a really big telescope like Raleigh had and point it up there and see it. But yeah, overall, Terry, is this tomorrow featuring Starliner or Starliner featuring tomorrow? I'm going to be honest here, I think we're kind of, you know, I think that whoever makes the least amount of mistakes should be the headliner. So right now it's tomorrow featuring Starliner. Our docking adapter works. Yes, it did. Myself and Dutta did not have a problem. Oh yes, David, thank you so much. Glad to be here. First beer of the weekend on you. Thanks, David. Appreciate it. And that happens with us. So yeah, so we're kind of hanging out right now, mostly because are we, are we going to hold on talking about things due to Starliner? Nah. Yeah, because it kind of wasn't, oh, look at this shot right here. Whoa! That's a picture of ISS with Starliner approaching. Wow. Okay. So that was with a... That must have been a pretty good telescope. Canon 90D with a 150 to 600 handheld ISO 1600 f 6.3 with first one one one 1600th of a second wow that's a nice lens yeah that's that's got some good to it whoa man anytime nice job yeah great job whoever that was I can't astromyke astromyke good job fantastic I don't have the steadiness to get that shot like I'll be shaking all over the place if that if that's like like like that that's just crazy yeah that's pretty good yeah it's it's a little it's a little that's that's some pretty good stuff so somebody's asking steratic is asking where Starliner is it safe is it all right yes right now Starliner is holding 10 meters out from station NASA's stream currently is showing its current position and I believe that they were having an issue with the docking adapter they just wanted to cycle it from open to closed and then back to open just to make sure that the issue was something that's not occurring or if it is occurring they will find out that it is occurring but that's where it's at right now I don't recall I don't recall if we have an updated time for docking yet because that time oh yes final approach should be at 542 Pacific time for us 842 Eastern time and that should be 042 universal 35 minutes from now yeah so about 35 minutes from now that should be final approach assuming that the docking adapter system is working by then but there Jeff Faust on Twitter just said that mission control sounds optimistic that it will so so that's good so so catching these things on the fly and fixing them on the fly sometimes that's the way you end up doing it so and that's good so I'm glad that they're able to kind of work with that and resolve with that and I guess that can you know that could probably lead into the first thing that we probably would want to talk about today right which is the launch of Starliner yesterday heading up into orbit getting itself into orbit which is what it had some very big issues with during its first test flight in December of 2019 which when you do a test flight it's why you do test flights to see what the problems are typically at that stage you don't want too many not at least not at least loss of vehicle loss of crew level problems and we won't even go into the the potential issue with the jettison of the service module that also happened with the Starliner in that first flight but everything appeared to be smooth but then then we got told at NASA's presser a couple hours later that actually things weren't as smooth as we thought they were so that orbit insertion burn was 45 seconds a couple seconds into it one of the thrusters performing that burn conked out the computer systems on board switched over to another thruster which it then conked out and it switched over to a third thruster to pick up the slack where that was that got it into orbit basically you know I guess if there's a way to phrase it the redundant systems worked as planned and typically you don't want to have to do a demonstration of that on your on your test flight but they were able to do it and you know that is that's as good to know as it is the things are working okay although you know it's also very embarrassing that this is still happening especially for OFT-2 because obviously Boeing is very much under the microscope right now because OFT-1 even though even though a lot was done on that flight that test flight a lot was accomplished there the the problems with it were glaring overshadowing any of the the positives that came out of that in terms of engineering and then in addition to that the valve issue last summer sticky valves and other things and we forgot how to make valves and make them work and other things like that yeah yeah it's just yeah oh boy so yeah I'm just saying you would think a company with that kind of history would know better yeah you know you would think that Boeing who who lay claim to things like shuttle and the Apollo command module and other stuff like that would be able to do it but also at the same time did Boeing really work with those did Boeing really do those did they really do the grunt work for those or did they buy the companies that did the grunt work for those mm-hmm their name is listed on supplier list for all the back as far back as Saturn 5 well yeah they worked on parts of the Saturn 5 themselves yeah so they they also have responsibility for some of shuttle and stuff like that so they have they have a legit pedigree I'd say that okay that's fair but yes they did buy the companies that did yeah more major work yes still I would expect more yeah definitely so quite quite disappointing with that as well yeah so Allison's got a really good question here which is could NASA say to do this again without the crew should we have an OFT 3 I mean theoretically they could but like they they failed on the first time to get to the ISS if they need to do it a third time how much are they how much money and time are they willing to spend testing a vehicle like you can only if you if you if they keep testing it like if it doesn't work on OFT 3 and a imagined OFT 3 would they don't do a number 4 would they do a number 5 like how far could you keep going with this program how many times do you have to before the current test what's up data how many times do you have to fail your driver's license test before you don't get to drive anymore oh I don't know how many I'm just like that's that's what that's what I'm like liking this to yeah so right like you only get a certain number of tries and then we've lost faith in you and you can't play anymore is there faith at the moment they they're sure as hell better be because they're only 10 meters from from a multi-billion dollar asset yeah and that multi-billion dollar asset has zero control over that that spacecraft yeah I was gonna say that if if this was if what had happened yesterday with the thrusters was a very serious issue and something that was a genuine jeopardy to the safety of the mission and the crew at the International Space Station was happening right now would not be happening so yeah they decided to move ahead with the operations they're going through it step-by-step they're checking their dotting their eyes crossing their T's and trying to make sure that everything is everything is going okay I'm in and I was just gonna check for an update real quick and see see if we have anything so and you sound like you were gonna say something Ryan yeah well I was just gonna say that with the thruster issues obviously we had the little spin from Nauka last year I feel like especially with that like so recent happening so recently proceeding on with so if it was an extremely dangerous problem would just be a stupid thing to do especially with the Nauka thing happening so recently so yeah they wouldn't have brought star dinosaur start yeah they wouldn't have brought a star in a so close to the station if there was a risk of something like that happening yeah Apollo has a really great point here which I feel like is always the point that people who are like get bowing out of everything miss which is the I I mean this is why commercial crew picked two companies to develop spacecraft because you don't want to put all of your eggs in one basket right I think we're I think we were talking about it a couple weeks ago which is that which is that if you have a single provider and something goes wrong with that then your your means by which to get people to the International Space Station is grounded the United States is not Roscosmos and we are going to have we will have significantly more bureaucracy to go through in the event of a incident on ascent or really any incident period involved with that and it will not be good I mean look at the valve issue here with with Starliner and how long that took to resolve and things like that so you have to so having a second provider is something that is a necessity because just overall you don't want to have as it says as it said a million times you don't want to have your eggs in one basket you know you could put it you can just you can dump all of your faith in SpaceX if you want to but also at the same time it's good to have that spread so yeah oh yeah and a dream chaser has entered the chat all of the dream of everyone on the tomorrow crew crewed dream chaser also here's a good one the Hidi Abi hopefully I'm saying that right which is also SpaceX has stopped producing new Dragon spacecraft so eventually those vehicles have reached their end of life and will need replacements so yeah you know it's it's but they will replace them with dragons it's not like they'll SpaceX I'm gonna replace dragon with star rider are you sir if they've stopped making them they're still the the ability to produce dragons still exists they are not through they're not getting rid of that because dragons are still technically refurbished not completely reused because when you see one come back after re-entry they're disgusting and they're also still manufacturing cargo dragons which are extremely similar to crew dragons they just don't have the things that crew need such the biggest one being an escape system so yeah they still have the facilities to produce those capsules they're just not making anymore because they don't need to yeah and then also we might be able to figure out schedule as well in order to make those dragons last but maybe make them potentially last as long as they need to with that so that's that's always a possibility with that there oh summary house has something here to say which is they only paused making them because they have enough made for the missions already so thank you yeah pretty good pretty good there so good point see this is why I love our chat room because y'all are just like y'all who watch us are just on top of things and just you get it y'all are good so I love y'all so so some people are talking about in our chat as well talking about the International Space Station mission ending in 2024 I think the only group that's really been saying it's ending in 2024 yes Peter Cook puts up right here I think the only group saying that is Russia the United States as far as I understand in terms of contracts and writing is committed to at least 2028 so we've got a little bit more time with that there I think Easter is also committed to that as well I I think so or at least there's been in in clings of them saying that but yeah it's pretty obvious that those on the West are leading towards a 2028 date for the moment definitely yeah so yeah and if that gets extended it's obviously one of those things where where that will that bridge will be crossed when the time comes I guess with something like that but also Harry stranger actually has a really good point here which I think that everybody kind of forgot about which is that Starliners also plan to be used for orbital reef in the future which is Blue Origins Space Station with that themselves so stream chaser so stream chaser yes just put that one in there so stream chaser I know they didn't show a crew dragon but I think you could take a crew dragon to it right if they use the same they all use the same docking adapter so that's that's the that's that's the biggest thing between a vehicle being able to I'm not being able to dock to another station like the Chinese Space Station Tiangong uses the same docking adapter so theoretically a crew dragon could dock to Tiangong we could just we could pop on real quick that's not too difficult I'm sure I'm sure nobody would mind that yeah Darren is actually saying there's also axiom as long as they use the same docking adapters so yeah which they will do because they're building it off the size inside of the ISS yeah yeah they're kind of getting NASA funds from that so they tend to go with what NASA would like and NASA wants to use axiom hardware so why not with that there so yeah oh Eric is asking a really good question which is what docking adapter does the tomorrow station use what is our our standard for our docking adapter it's proprietary yeah very proprietary I could tell you what I'd have to kill you yeah that's right yeah what would just be nice if we could have like a official standard like a international docking standard but you know feet I mean there is one not everybody's built the same Jared I understand I understand it's alright there is the that's kind of international standard which is used on like the US segment of the ISS and Tiangong but you know tomorrow we get we go our own way yeah ours is ADA compliant so true take that NASA yeah very very true actually so I got quicker to doctor 204 than the ISS as has been proven by Starliner Tomic Jay I love that proprietary disgusting so you absolutely are absolute we are nasty we are just oh despicable evil so yeah we're just we're terrible about that so yeah what this is what I was gonna pull up before I saw it from a topic Jay that was too funny not to which Johnny Space is answering a question actually that we that was asked in the chat earlier and I just didn't get around to answering it which somebody asked can Starliner boost the space station and Starliner yes it can it can help with ISS station keeping on like dragon now like sickness which is capable of the cargo via US cargo vehicle is going to be capable have they done that test yet or not I can't I don't recall so but yeah I think I think they have this is that this is a long time ago I'm trying to remember when because I know I talked about it when the latest NG 17 launched I think they've tested it on a prior mission this mission would be the first operational use of it I think that I think that's how that works but yeah I could be not telling the truth all right the official word is that troubleshooting of the docking ring has been successful they're expecting to make the docking this docking window and actually if we've got that NASA stream back they have a glorious view of Star liner right now on it just that is beautiful with it there if we can if we can pull it up if we can't I can push buttons there we go so there's a live view of Starliner sitting about ice about 10 meters out there oh my gosh that is gorgeous so cool looking yeah that is that is really cool as I was saying in our discord before this I'm a I'm a big fan of the thermal blankets and the texture of them for some reason so and it's because they remind me of shuttle and I will forever have a I really like the like the what you call it like the dashed lines with the bowing logo around the side I just think that looks kind of it kind of reminds me of like the the Lego rocket sets like for Lego City or whatever they have like the cool like you know designs on them and stuff yeah they've got the generic logo on the side too yes somebody's asking if we could do this picture in picture when it's not full screen I'm not sure we capable of doing that at present I have to figure out this new control surface but yeah maybe somebody saying it looks like it's firing it's gas thrusters quite a bit not no not really nothing more than you would I just saw a couple little puffs and that's normal because it needs to stay in this in the right place yeah you'll you would see dragon you know doing that as well if it had to do some station keeping at a certain area with that I actually actually I wonder for the demonstration mission one if there might be a point where it holds and we can compare thruster firings or something like that somebody's asking who's who was asking that I where did it go I just saw it Johnny Spacer yeah they're asking the actually let me let me push that one to air because that makes more sense to do that which is asking are those black squares windows I think on the top there I want to say at 1 o'clock and 10 o'clock those are windows windows but the one at 3 o'clock there no or the ones at 12 o'clock near towards the edge no there is a window right in the middle of the docking hatch to as was you squint you comparing yeah yeah do you see it I see do you see Rosie in there anyway I okay I guess not that answers that yeah yeah so good times good times so I'm just Jeff right here Jeff Faust right here oh I think we are in it looks like we're moving in it yep we are starting final approach now we're about I mean yeah it's going in but like seriously four minutes from docking here so the other camera is so much cooler yeah it is but the problem is that the other camera the other camera is really good oh it's coming back it's coming back is it yeah what I've got so what I've got here is I've got the NASA TV feed on one side of my monitor and then the tomorrow's stream on the other side of my monitor gotcha so I'm I get a little bit of an advanced preview yeah what's gonna come up I'm like and it's gonna be a one FPS feed of the capsule POV yeah oh there we go that's a great view I see we've got the targets on the ISS there that the the navigation GNC for docking would be doing so yeah looks like looks like it's going good so far so everything's coming in yep and uh this is this has been a moment years in the waiting I want to say so how many dollars are we betting it aborts and it has the back out so I'll go a solid so hang on I've got to do currency conversion here yeah oh my god so convenient it's literally one point two five four pounds I'll bet four pounds four pounds which converts to exactly five USD nice nice well that's really satisfying so all right seeing that there looks like the the camera for docking is off because I bet that camera is a I bet that's the camera that's used for for the actual docking system which is currently operating on its own so look at that it's coming in so yeah don't worry I saw something I saw some folks in the chat room saying it's off it's off no it's not children it's all good we love you guys but yeah here we go coming in that's a smaller distance than it was 30 seconds ago and a way smaller distance than it was two minutes ago no don't there's a moment no don't say that all right looking good looking good I never noticed how big the service module is on Starliner actually that's pretty good sized I think this I think this camera might be stretched I think this might be a four by three aspect ratio stretched to 16 by nine because I know it's definitely not that pointy got you there are more squished I'd say that's about a meter right there so yeah looking good coming in and are we gonna have capture and I would call that capture or at least yeah yeah soft capture yeah thank you chat the chat room immediately was like soft capture confirmed we all right there you go see how see how quick I was able to stop myself talking incredible so so it's almost like you don't have to talk over when when the people emission controller talking okay so yes as the chat room is is saying to me it's soft capture you fool so yeah soft capture and then they will do hard capture will they are hard dock whatever you want to call it and yeah good stuff very very good stuff so excellent so no it's in buckling I guess we could try to figure out a new term oh yeah so people oh can I unbuckle now boop are available in that there yeah JTTV is can I unbuckle now yeah sure yeah go for it we can you may now free to feel free to move around the cabin yeah up there it goes again our lovely beeping friend from last week don't know if it made it into the show last week but that's actually our indicator that Starliner has done something good so every time Starliner does what it's supposed to do that goes off so it has it has finally done it so excellent super good to hear that so and I'm glad glad our indicators working with that there so what is that sorry folks look like our gate got switched everyone sit down while we transfer nodes that was a lot of words that I don't know very cool somebody's asked the bad Aussie is asking if Rosie is gonna get a tour of ISS on the International Space Station um did it was it Ripley the name of the SpaceX one I think right the come on people don't I don't recall don't leave me hanging here chat room what was the name of the mannequin that SpaceX had in for Dm one someone Ripley thank you and now the chat room is going to be 5,000 people that says yes Ripley I love you guys don't worry yes they did put cargo on this flight I like that our veil says that Rosie is now the commander of the ISS move over humans yeah just to kind of answer that again real quick their data from Hibidia BK hopefully that was a little closer this time no Hibidia he I that's as good as it's gonna get for me tonight that was bad did they put any cargo on this flight Hib is asking if they put any cargo on this flight and you said yes yes what they put stuff how much stuff did they do I saw a thing but I forget yeah I just looked it up on Tim's Tim Dodd's the everyday astronauts website apparently Starliner has brought 200 kilograms of supplies and test equipment simulating future missions that will have astronauts and cargo on board and on the way back to Earth it'll carry 260 so I'm assuming they're gonna be the astronauts on board the ISS will be loading Starliner up with some stuff that they want to send back to Earth which they no longer need on the station yeah very very cool it's as Apollo says expensive things well it wasn't expensive until it became cargo yeah that's true that's true so then it became commemorative and that's when it really spiked in value with it there yeah so that's that's that's gonna have that's going Johnny Spacer suggesting oh maybe 300 plus 300 pounds Boeing memorabilia yeah when they pull Rosie out of Starliner it's gonna be falling from all of her pockets I thought Eric was talking about Rosie so oh ouch so yeah yeah yeah yeah that's that actually that would make sense because you got the mannequin to simulate human weight and then all the instrumentation on board in order to do that yeah that would that would make sense are revealed oh my gosh oh boy if you don't know what that is Google Apollo 15 postcard scandal you're gonna you're gonna love it with that juicy yeah good stuff yeah so alright are we are we good did we talk about Starliner enough I did the are you I'm pretty cool it did exactly what we were hoping it would do so a little bit later than expected and there's a lot of some hiccups with it also still couldn't get an answer from anybody as to whether it was the docking adapter on Starliner or the docking adapter on the space station because they are different and nobody was telling me no I got conflicting reports they got people telling me it was from Starliner and also people from saying it was from station so yeah so and somebody like Jeff isn't Jeff house is not saying anything so I don't know so yeah very good I'm glad I'm glad it's there excellent I'm glad that was boring yes anytime something in space is boring that's good you don't you don't want spicy space flights no no no not at all also Jeff fast sorry I had to go into his replies it was a the docking adapter on Starliner but the trouble shot it and they made it happen so and yeah there you go welcome to space flight so welcome to test flights where things will go wrong and the points and the points do matter with that there so it looks like they have hard captured now with that it's it's definitely it looks pretty sucked in yeah it's definitely moved up on that there so yeah excellent yeah Starliner did it yeah that's now it's just kind of now it's got to stay on with the station I think that they said that they're opening the hatch tomorrow if I recall correctly yeah and had no clock something eastern in the morning yeah I'll miss that I'm gonna sleep right through that me too I was about to say if you if you've had the same week that me and data have had at our respective you know what's then yeah yeah I'm sleeping past 10 30 Pacific I have no idea what time I'm gonna wake up that tomorrow and frankly if I wake up on Sunday I will be happy wondering how my week has been this boats well for the rest of the show and the chat room and me and me reacting to the chat room and then I'm gonna spend a couple days on station on dock from it and eventually come back and land at White Sands New Mexico so yeah super excited a land landing a land landing that's right it's not just for not just for Russians and the Chinese Americans can land on land as well so well we'll see I mean the space shuttle guided on ground so on runways yeah it's still grounded on ground yeah yeah I mean I didn't say anyone putting the space shuttle in the Hudson so they put it in the LA River that's true that's true how do you think we got it here so yeah okay so actually do you do we want to talk about this from I liked what serial port was saying there do we want to find it so at least talk about a little bit on it there which is you're not sure why people are still hoping for Starliner failure because I'm definitely not I want two providers and I want them to work I I'm not I'm not hoping for failure my I want to providers but critically I want them to work yes and thus far they've had more issues than I'm comfortable with especially for the time and money that they've been given yes Ryan I just think it's mainly the SpaceX fan club fanboys kind of coming in from this angle yeah there's not really much more that could go wrong I mean it gets stuck being docked to the ISS I mean like what do you want to happen it will spontaneously on dock and then fly itself to the moon or something like what are you expecting to happen if it's gone this way if it there's been blips in this test flight but it is that it's a test flight so there's no point hoping for a failure of a vehicle because if we're if we're going to depend on dragon yes it's a good vehicle and it's done good things and it's been it's been successful and it's pretty much past everything with flying colors but you can't rely on one vehicle for flying crew because if one thing goes wrong with one of those flights yep there's going to be a massive gap in crew flights for reviewing and whatever so even if even if in my opinion the second option star liner isn't as good as dragon that's my personal opinion but still having two vehicles is crucial because it gives you that redundancy which is super important yep and I think I think that's what a lot of people are missing on that is that ability to have redundancy it is critical I wish NASA had gone with three providers I noticed uh Allison Cornish in the chat room said let's have three providers with dream chaser let me tell you Allison we are crew dream chaser oh man we are here at tomorrow we're big space plane people just because it's a space plane I'd have dream chaser over starliner any day like I just saying I think they down selected too early yeah I was just actually I was just about to say that I think they should have had a demo flight or two and then decided which one which one's to use exactly yeah I was going to say and then dream chaser would have won man that would have been nice so I just at least we're still going to get dream chaser for orbital reef and cargo resupply so we're still getting it just not for crew yeah and I want my fuzzy dice on the front still even in microgravity I want my fuzzy dice in the cockpit of dream chaser with it there yeah yeah as Maddie is saying the moment something goes wrong with dragon it will be grounded for a year we need more than one provider also you know just I guess to say this because it seems to be a truth the moment something goes wrong with starliner it'll be grounded for a year and we need more than one provider as well also what was it in here there was somebody saying there was somebody now I'm trying to remember where it actually was somebody was talking about SpaceX having docked a lot of dragons before we put people on them but I think you gotta remember that those were the first version those are cargo dragons yeah they were completely different vehicles by the time they got to crew dragon yeah so and they didn't even dock they were birthed so yeah there's it's a completely different way of going towards the station it's a completely different docking mechanism it's a completely different vehicle there's no similarities there really apart from the fact that they both started from the cape and both ended up wait no by Jamie's logic they're both called dragons so they're the same thing wait what's up who's called wait no that's not allowed here Jamie says all the starships are starships Jamie's not here Jamie's not here so we're allowed I I'm just saying that's a contradiction in in arguments okay well I'm the captain now and look at me as far as far as I'm concerned look at me look at me as far as I'm concerned there are differences between the vehicles so and I cannot tell you how hard it was to keep a straight face which I probably didn't keep a good one to be I mean it's just hard enough to keep a straight face to begin with so yeah Jamie is not here to defend herself well that's Jamie's oh poor Jamie so um but yeah um I'm just I'm just excited that is if I recall this is the first time a country has two crew capable vehicles flying to space at the same time so and if I'm wrong someone in the chat room will absolutely let me know that are we gonna call it crew capable before it recovers lands and recovers no but I I will I'll jump that's a little premature I'll I'll jump this fountain at Caesar's Palace I mean I know it's got a land first to take people up first but Starliner is aspiring to be crew capable so I'm aspiring to be crew capable yeah me too Starliner is currently very close to being certified for crew flights let's put it that way yeah and finish your mission and then you count your accolades that's a very nice way of putting it yeah that was really nice of you you said you said that a lot nicer than I did I would have so also I'm trying to bring up who the crew for the first Starliner the first crewed Starliner fight first the Boeing crewed flight test will there I know it's not Chris Ferguson so no he's he's not so yeah excellent with that there hold on I'm working I'm working my prime crew the prime crew is a tba from NASA as the spacecraft commander tba from NASA as the pilot and tba from NASA as the mission specialist and on the backup crew we have tba from NASA as spacecraft commander yeah okay so that's about the wikipedia page yeah yeah so basically I thought Cine Williams was involved in at some point so she so Sinida Williams who by the way I think I'll say this on air is an absolute badass of a woman absolutely badass of a human period she's amazing and I love everything she does she she has sort of been the point person on Starliner with the with NASA and Boeing working together on that so yeah yeah so that's really oh my gosh that's so cool so yeah so maybe she'll be the first commander I know she named the first one already Calypso after Jacques Cousteau's boat that in case you wanted to know where that comes from with that there uh oh apparently am I wrong about two two human capable things from that okay somebody in the chat room was saying that I was wrong and I'm trying to find it that's never happened before so oh apparently Soyuz at Mir and Buran oh no people are saying no there was no Soyuz at Mir when Buran flew its first and only flight or even then I wouldn't say it was crew capable it was a test flight which is what Boeing is still Boeing's on a test flight right now Buran was on a test flight nobody I know no Russians decide to do things differently but nobody ever flew the space in Buran exactly so yeah only only our hopes and dreams so yeah unfortunately you know sometimes you just make the space shuttle and you fly it a lot and then sometimes you make a better space shuttle and you only fly it once so this is an article from 2018 NASA shows Chris Ferguson Eric Boe, Nicole Mann, Sunni Williams, Josh Casada as first pilots and crews for Boeing Starliner gotcha not all at once I wouldn't imagine but yeah that's changed though because NASA moved loads of Boeing Starliner people over took a dragon because Starliner was taking so long yeah I was gonna say that about a month ago they said that they were shuffling around yeah but as far as I know Sunni Williams is still a part of that and I wouldn't I I have high confidence that she's probably going to be the first commander of the Starliner mission so yeah this this is from a Boeing site so of course it's going to be a positive review oh of course yeah you definitely can um what's that there uh somebody on here said that yeah Nicole Mann and Josh Casada are flying on crew five the SpaceX um somebody here said the two kinds of spacecraft from yeah here we go uh two kinds of spacecraft from the same country human capable at the same time yeah I guess Gemini and Apollo didn't have overlap and guess what they didn't so yeah it's always been one off to the other and nine and that is two yeah now there's two at the same time did Mercury and Gemini have Mercury's I don't think so I think that uh I think that they were very close to each other but they were not uh I'm sorry I'm still getting over Mercury's look at that why you gotta do the Sunni time it's Friday what do you want it is Friday and uh yeah uh oh my gosh she was the last of the Mercury 7 Nagorno space so I don't think we've ever flown two shuttles at the same time well that would be Deke Slayton boy am I an idiot asking that one what's up we've we've never oh yeah well we've never flown two shuttles in space at the same time we've flown to Gemini yeah yep we've flown to Gemini oh who we you but am I wrong what am I wrong because they're two different what two different crewed vehicles didn't I say two different crewed vehicles yeah I didn't say them and I've flown the same time but they're the same type I'd say they're the same type of spacecraft so that's right chat room we're splitting hairs today so Robert that's right hairs splitting so Robert says Mercury was in retrograde when Jim and I flew well done sir well done a pattern in the chaos does bring up a good point the Apollo command module and the Luna module technically two different vehicles flying at the same time but they they they got to their destination attached to each other so I say that doesn't really count because they okay they they launched on the same rocket so it doesn't count because it would make me wrong so that's why it doesn't count so yeah and also without the without the command module there would be no Luna module on the moon so yeah I was gonna say second he's got a really good question here which is is the x-37 otv human capable we don't know not that you know of not that I know of so but do you even know where it is up somewhere there like 250 miles excuse me 420 kilometers that place so so it's falling it's been falling for so long oh my god somebody says it's everywhere so yeah I guess you should call some physics here it's it's way behind me isn't it yeah it's just burst through the walls hey you know it'd be great it'd be just as loud as our neighbors are anyways sorry that was an inside joke literally for inside of the studio anyways I think that's enough of the rambling on on that there or some other cool things that have happened since our last proper live show what you got Ryan so just earlier today actually my psyche go fund me hits 4000 and 70 pounds which is another person milestone I just realized I've done some really really good framing for this shot okay let's fix this on the earth let's fix this on the earth this is really professional oh I thought you were framing for your I thought you're framing for your go fund me not your okay there we go okay that's better you can see me oh no my monitor is in shot this is this is this is going what kind of see Jamie leaves and puts me in charge all this stuff just blows up and then I get trouble that's better that's better there you go these things so yeah my go fund me hit 4000 pounds which is another margin another margin another goal so thank you for everybody thank you everybody so who has donated how many how many more pounds do you have to go uh so we're trying to hit 7000 okay which is 7000 a bit more than 4700 it's 2930 I think okay night maths and yeah so if you would like to contribute as well I would be very much appreciative I'll put the link in the chat if you would like to contribute as well yes um so you need about a few times so you need about 1360 kilograms since you had 3000 pounds left something like that sorry I thought it was it sounded funny then I said it so there we go if you would like to help Ryan cover psyche on site at flow ride a flow Florida in the sunshine state it's a sunshine state right yes yes yes it's a great place to make sure I got that right it's a good it's a good place it's got a formula one race that everyone loves yeah metric dollars are weird how does that work psyche is right and there are always body parts the kidneys will get you a long way so you don't have blood I was gonna say you know an organ the organ thing was a very Florida way of handling it honestly so no offense to Florida if anybody was watching from Florida so if you'd like to contribute to that that'd be very I'd be very very grateful and hopefully I can bring you some uh at least pre-recorded we're aiming for live coverage thank you very much to angsty for coming a member yeah thank you yes you'd like to see that if you'd like to see that then the English in the chat sorry I was just laughing the echo okay I don't know if that's true I mean that's kind of true that's kind of true because oh my god you're sliding you up right now Ryan this is great save money and take the train I think I could get as far as uh Portugal maybe by the train yeah much further you know that that high-speed train that we have from UK to America yeah straight to Florida thank you Johnny appreciate it uh with that uh got it there so what are you I can't I can't our chat room is just you guys are the best you're amazing so yeah that's what I was looking at you think metric dollars are bad wait until you try imperial dollars 43 cents is a dollar 12 dollars is a five or seven five versus a hundo also Johnny good uh good call here you could kayak across the big pond and people have done it before what's your excuse if I want to if I want to get a thumb burger I could take a boat across a child did it so yeah it's so easy a child can do it I Ideally I want to be able to what have you even done with your life in a time period that isn't very long preferably under a day what are we doing I thought I was gonna I thought hundreds of people on the internet oh my god I thought I was gonna have this show under control now I understand why Jamie is like I had just screw it just let it go off the rails whatever um so um this is this is the running gag ladies and gentlemen and folks watching us this evening ouch so dang chat burn from the chat room also headcrab brings up a really good thing which I think is actually really good for you to explain which headcrab is like are you flying business class or something because 7 000 pounds I don't know how many dollars that is but it does sound like a lot but the thing is there's a lot that goes in I don't know if you guys know how much goes into covering on launch on site so yeah I'm not air I'm not spending airfare is insane right now yeah oh yeah so it's not seven thousand trust me it's not seven thousand pounds going towards business class on British airways definitely not um so there's also accommodation so you know need somewhere to sleep kind of important that's got there's also yeah there's also getting to the airport because I don't want to walk to London Gatwick that would take a while uh so and then there's also staying overnight at the airport so you know you're up ready fresh for your flight in the morning and then there is also other things that may need to be purchased like equipment wise such as tripods or cables or other things that are needed to be purchased in order to like broadcast because that's not cheap that's not easy either so things like you'd also need to be able to get a cellular connection in order to get some mobile data and get an internet connection that's also not easy yeah so there are lots of things racking up onto the price and everything that has been purchased so far is all listed on my website so that should be accessible from the GoFundMe if you want to do more deep diving on how the money is being spent yeah you you actually have it listed out so right yeah yeah so in case you wanted to know everything yesterday on that GoFundMe it's got everything there which by the way i am going to push the link to the GoFundMe one more time so that way you can go help out Ryan of course we will throw that into the description as well um and of course thank you everybody for who's been contributing to Ryan it's really great i we're loving i'm very appreciative yeah the tomorrow community coming together to make this happen has been amazing so um and i thought i saw something about you uh possibly meeting up with somebody in person uh to film uh well i did um i did uh put a question into uh tim dodd's chat yesterday and he did say that he would contact me he hasn't done that yet but we'll we'll find out what happens yes um so yeah it would be cool to meet up tim we're waiting we love tim it's good stuff so uh eddie joker saying flying manchester to houston is insanely cheap on singapore air uh i would just like to say that um gatwick is close to the manchester and also houston is a bit of distance a bit away from florida like that's another good two hour flight away so also driving that that's a good two days houston is is like two thirds of an england away from florida i thought it was going to be like a whole england away from florida so well i'm i'm known at work for my estimation skills so oh no big excuse me so just kidding don't mind me i'm just gonna sit here in my wrongness or uh apparent wrongness implied wrongness um i was just checking in on asa's channel everybody's standing around in uh michael control shaking hands so looking good with stuff everybody's oh yeah look at all of them that's good retro right now there are they are they are loving it they're like yes is that dr neal the grass tyson i don't think so it looks like him so you know it's too happy to be him oh yeah not grumpy enough yeah i wonder what the world record is for the most amount of hands shaked at mission control during a mission run that back again i'm sorry i didn't catch i wonder what the world record is for the most amount of hands shaked during mission inside mission control during a mission for one person for it or for every person uh one person like how many hands can you shake i don't know that's that's a lot of i don't know apollo 11 yeah our veil i agree with that gotta be actually i would say it was that was hugs tears and cigars yeah no i would say apollo 13 yeah that was definitely probably like that one was definitely the uh with it so you know yeah that and um uh my favorite shuttle mission sts one what's up sts one no that's not my favorite shuttle mission how could i forget my favorite shuttle mission what is wrong with me oh my god i can't believe i'm having to google this right now i hate myself sts 61 so it's my favorite one the first Hubble repair mission so that's my favorite i think that mission alone could make an amazing movie so because of everything that went into that man i'm so much so if you ever get a chance to hear story must crave talk go fastest hour i've ever experienced so um pretty amazing stuff so um yeah pretty cool stuff what about do we got any other stuff to talk about you uh any spacex stuff that we could talk about because we could freely talk about spacex stuff here today uh um uh there hasn't really been many announcements out of spacex this week to be honest like spacefire wise did you guys talk about the engine going boom last week uh no but it's kind of like the the raptor the raptor engine's going boom uh the only reason we know it happened is because nasa space right now have 24 seven cameras pointing at every single test stand men this has happened many a time before yeah this will happen many a time in the future it's just big news because it's the first time we've actually been able to see it so uh in spacex's perspective this is nothing new yeah this is just routine testing it's not not unique not special not really worth being reported on to be honest because they're they're going through so many raptors at the moment like you just can't keep track of them all yeah uh that's aerospace so how do you phrase it data space is hard uh also there's the other one oh if you're not blowing stuff up you're not testing enough bingo there you go that's the way it works um oh yeah our of all our avail you know one day i'm gonna get names right and guess what day it is not today um that just jumped that was not where i was going um i was gonna say uh our avail very uh spacex did like a billion starlink launches last week so that's very true i mean it was more it was more like three but it was it was still a still a nice chunk yeah uh the chat room is is is saying uh tim dodds uh starbase tour um with that quick tour through starbase um with that as well so yeah grab that video take a gander at it pretty interesting stuff uh harry stranger bringing up a good one as a company i don't think we've talked about uh uh uh uh relatively recently is relativity point that you just had to yeah i'm sorry i had to and also this is this is going to lead to something else with relativity in it that i'm gonna hijack the show with um so dada get yourself ready um you will dada you will have to behold uh the photos for me if you know what i mean so okay so uh relativity had some good progress with terran one this week uh yeah they did their white qualification firing of their first stage of terran one uh this weekend everything looked like it went very very well so um the super good oh yes uh harry stranger as well we got some nice footage of the blue origin be fours on the stand can you believe that can you believe that there was fire there was dada they heard it was fire they heard me they so obviously the people of blue origin uh who do their pr watch this show that's why they don't come on the show or answer the emails um back from us we're not bitter um and uh they they heard you dada and they were like we have to show up dada so there you go there you go that's exactly uh it's exactly how that goes i'm trying to scroll back a week so i can find that link okay that's cool so um also i i stand corrected it's it's a thousand fifteen miles from houston to cape canaver florida and uh from scotland to brighton which is yeah most the most of the height pretty much of the uk it's only 518 miles most is three so it's like a lot a lot of england several which is like yeah yeah well i mean california is longer than england if i remember correctly right and the entire united kingdom florida is basically the size of the uk so at least the lengthways oh okay yeah the united states is big in case anybody i didn't know that fun fact yeah fun fact it's uh it's a big place um and we got 50 states can you believe it i don't know how that works um so uh bennett elder was actually talking here uh was it this week or last week that astra had their announcement for the next vehicle i think that was just this week wasn't it that was this week yeah which i covered in space news which you should totally watch because publishing a video during the launch of starliner totally doesn't flop analytics and means that like half the people who watch it watch it who yeah so yeah go watch space news uh because yeah yeah i i went deep dive on astra lots of astra news which i will not spoil because you need to go watch space news oh yes i saw this uh the other day thank you j t tv this is i really need to get into like the startups that are happening in europe and stuff like that which is a spanish rocket company pld is making lots of progress for launch they just did a test fire of their engine yeah i saw that that was so cool they're like counting down in spanish and uh firing it it was really great i loved every single second of that that was great it's so cool oh dada dada you can't show pornography for space you'll see it launch off the planet and splash back down in the ocean oh my goodness and hear what it's like to hand off your research i think the video the audio is from something else yeah i think the audio is from the uh starliner yeah nasa dv still playing so impending as well yeah that's that's pretty that's a really quick way to like dust off any surface you have i love the start where it does the throttle you see it throttle up and i'm just like look at that mock diamond oh and it has several of them it's pretty stable nicely done you okay jared yeah i'm good yeah need a minute just tell me from that footage in a minute all right so oh boy yee haw that's i'm sweating is it is it warm in this room or is it the lights it is that's pretty actually it is um in here um yeah that that i haven't seen a mock diamond that nice since the space shuttle main engines um oh my god that's so good um anyways uh uh i wanted to talk about the black hole if that's okay if i may talk about that for a second sure so go for it so so i'm gonna need a visual aid dada which is the hard bit um about it because it's it's a little tough to talk about an image of something about the image of it so dada is i'm it was like this but orange yes that's that's actually what is at the middle of the milky way uh it was all starving during covid that's where it all went oh my gosh it got it was it was a potato picture of a of a donut oh gosh it's just oh man it's just a super massive toilet roll um at the center the other corner super massive toilet roll i guess that's is that where we're at now with it um boy i'm gonna get flak from all my astronomy people um from this this week all two of them uh so there it is uh that's the first image we've ever taken of our own black hole at the middle of the milky way we knew there was a black hole there because the stars that were orbiting around it appeared to be orbiting around relatively nothing that had a tremendous amount of mass and then there it is in all its glory holy smokes that is amazing to me that is a holy smoke yes it is indeed um a very hot bit going around um that ring there that that ring if i remember correctly the bright spots in the ring are from the gravitation of the black hole bending the light from behind so you could see it in front so that is some that is some amazing is it the most absorbent toilet paper ever oh boy yeah that's a great image uh just to give you an idea of how hard it was to take that image uh taking an image uh like that oh my goodness i did not hear that one r1 that was uh it was a it was a gif i made into from the launch pad last week during the member show i think um there was already some animation of footage from a european something or a university or something like that i'm trying to think i'm trying to find it for the black it's uploading we were see it in a minute for the black hole yeah oh dang wait they already were just carry on okay yeah oh i see what's up um anyways i guess i'll get the i'll get one thing in before it becomes unserious which is that uh imaging this black hole was like imaging uh the hand of an astronaut standing on the moon from here on earth and being able to discern that there are five fingers on their glove so in case anybody was wondering how hard it is to take that image so very very tough so uh and you could do that in radio so very very nice uh they could do that uh if they really are going to do an animation i am super stoked to see that because uh this is it would just be amazing to see material going around a black hole um and would help us continue to confirm einstein's uh theory of general and special relativity uh which is amazing that it has still not been disproven so usually you got to do some work uh to get your stuff to work correctly but yeah not the not relativity so and i love too that it looked exactly like uh the uh oh you were being serious you weren't joking around yeah so those are simulations though so that's not the actual data i think they're compiled images that's what i was told really so i thought i i would think this would be a bigger i thought they were i understood that it's still that they were software estimations yeah we definitely have tons of that so yeah that definitely that looks too sharp that looks like the software as the computer modeling because the computer modeling is very sharp um and then we can fuzz it to the resolution we would expect uh oh yeah there are simulations uh with that there uh by the way just want to say it's amazing because uh the simulations look exactly like what is in nature and just like again continuing to prove einstein was right so holy smokes so i can't wait for that uh apollo emission moment where they had i galeo was right i wonder what einstein is right it's gonna look like so look at that mr einstein was right so when a young guy comes back to greet his old brother his old twin yeah of course of course so they're like that yeah um yeah that's just mind-blowing so there you go we talked about the black hole um with that as well uh yeah that was pretty pretty amazing oh uh jpl has a new director by the way dr lori leshin first uh first um woman to be running jpl so very very cool uh very excited about that so she's a uh she was a chemist from her correctly a chemist geologist so uh very very cool that so glad she's in because it's always great to have somebody who's very hands on running a place that is very hands on uh with it there wish the best of luck to her um and i'm pretty much yeah being a geochemist and a space scientist working at a place like jpl pretty sure she's gonna rock it uh and make jpl even better than it already is i don't know if that's possible but you know uh it is jpl they do they do the impossible um with that uh and matty had a good one as well uh in the chat room which is the lunar eclipse that's right the lunar eclipse just happened did you uh ryan did you go out and see it uh no because it was like uh five o'clock in the morning and who's got time for that oh okay yeah imagine if you like had to consistently wake up at five o'clock in the morning yeah you know for a special event or something like yeah couldn't be me work or dada or f1 um yeah so dada did you catch it no no okay i knew that it was happening i sat and sat my happy ass on my couch okay okay so you couldn't walk outside and i could have looked east didn't want to okay um all right actually no i can't look i saw the moon before eclipsed and i saw the moon after eclipsed just not when eclipsed fair that's the whole point yeah fair um yeah we had great view up at griffith observatory uh it was fantastic absolutely enjoyed every second of it um and yeah it was amazing so i loved it uh the eclipse i don't know if you guys uh knew this but the eclipse was actually very dark for a lunar eclipse this was the darkest lunar eclipse i've ever seen a lot of my co-workers were saying that this was the the second darkest they've ever seen and we were thinking that that the eruption from tonga the ash that's still in the atmosphere may have been blocking the light to make it that dark so because the darkest one that most of my co-workers had seen was in 1991 after the eruption of mount pinotubo which had put a tremendous amount of ash into the atmosphere so um yeah so i enjoyed it uh uh nildegas tyson didn't but i enjoyed it thoroughly so i had a great time why do you say he didn't because he had some snarky thing on twitter about how they happen all the time and if i didn't tell you it was happening you wouldn't care but i don't know oh if i were looking up at the moon and all of a sudden the moon was red i might be slightly concerned so like i don't know about you but if the moon was full and then over the course of a couple hours it wasn't full anymore and then it turned red and then like it became full again i i would have a few questions um about that so so yeah uh did you talk about the lro find oh yeah we could talk about that oh this was a great one that you found data with this here i guess we're kind of doing a free for all show at this point now well what excited me during the week yeah look at that that is so cool so what is that data that's the apollo 11 landing site as viewed from little reconnaissance orbiter mm-hmm wow check that out was that done in one orbit or multiple orbits i don't i don't know i haven't i have zero information beyond this pretty gift i'm gonna guess the light level seemed to change quite dramatically so from that i'd assume multiple orbits but i call your superior spot yeah i mean you could see it right there that's the jacket the cubrick left behind right so i think the flag that has flagpole or something has to be over here somewhere yeah or is that maybe the flag what's the surface of the moon there after it got blown over i don't know is it white so yeah that's that's i think so many people forget about that they blew the flag over with it and i love that that for the next missions they were like make sure you put the flag further away please so we need to we need to make we need to need to make it very nice vax head room our resident lunar mission expert in the chat i said from the shadow it has to be many orbits which yeah that kind of makes sense yeah uh vax when are you gonna hit when are you gonna hit up the apollo 11 landing site literally so be some good stuff with that there that's pretty awesome though it's it's been hard to see like you there there's little imagery that shows that it's actually there yeah that is so cool i love that that is amazing that is amazing stuff i hope they do it for the other landing sites too at some point so i really want to see that so yeah multiple people in the chat right now are talking about capstone which is rocket rocket labs mission to the moon they're going to be doing with nasa to deliver a payload to a near renticular halo orbit which is where what are they calling it this week lunar gateway is going to end up going i don't know what they're calling it anymore i don't think even they know what they're calling it anymore at this point um uh near renticular lunar halo gateway station um the third um will be going in its orbit uh so that it can be in a lot of people don't in case you didn't know why it's going in that orbit specifically so that it can be in constant communication with the earth so there you go so good stuff so johnny spacer lunar winnebago so i like that and apollo says i may watch the capstone launch irl and you will join an elite group of people who have actually watched something go to the moon so it's pretty cool i like that nice very very nice all right well i think that anything else that we were excited for this week for other things not that i can think of all right well i think we talked about a lot this week especially for not having jamie here i think that's why we talked about a lot this week um i'm just kidding i love you jay b i would never disrespect jay b when i'm not in front of her um so uh always when i am in front of her um so i'll talk about you behind your back i talk about you in front of you yeah i don't need to talk behind why would i do that right in front of you um so just want to remind everybody that if you like what we do here at tomorrow hit you know get us off of red you know let's get rid of the the subscribe range being red and hit that button so that it turns gray because it's not green but like if you hit it gray that means we're moving on to green for go so if you like it yeah if you

out and if you see your name circle it on the screen so it's good to have that there we got our escape velocity members who get their own discord channel where you can actually by the way i was just talking before the show with dada about this dada is almost never outside of the escape velocity channel so if you've ever wanted to see dada speak before besides the things he says here uh become escape velocity and you'll be able to um orbital as well thank y'all so much as well sub orbital these people uh you know again every little bit helps us out here at tomorrow it's literally literally as little as one dollar a month right i think for remember correctly yeah for crowd support that's all it takes and we appreciate all of it because you all are amazing so also just of course want to remind you that this person right here ryan we are working to try to get ryan to the psyche launch check that out in the the the description below if you'd like to help ryan make that happen uh so uh signing off here uh we do uh oh um yeah i think i think uh i think we're just signing off aren't we i'm not going to do the jamie thing so simply because i could talk about the new planetarium show that we have at the observatory that's coming out uh but you know so uh with with this new show uh that we have it is going to be covering something that has never been talked about in space sciences before at a planetarium yeah what it is going to be the subject of the century which is me wondering if ryan has hit the end stream button yet i haven't and because this is funny this is making me rather nervous so long because we actually really do it
