Thank goodness Voyager 1 is now working again! NASA did a fantastic job. It is really amazing how they could repair something from 50 years ago right now over 160 AU away from Earth
Love how the Australian on the hopper patch is upside down, such an adorable nod to the southern hemisphere 🇦🇺
For nearly a 50 year old instrument voyager is seriously impressive!
Huge congrats to JAXA!
Another great This Week In Space Flight Elysia, Thank you & NSF !!!!!
Funny, rockets taking off used to be like watching NASCAR, just waiting for the big crash or boom, now it's like watching planes take off and land which is cool but SpaceX has made it routine! Hats off!
Is it really though? If you want crash and boom just remember that Starship 4 is launching in May.
Very excited to see an Aussie finally having our first astronaut since the formation of our space agency! Keen to see her fly some day!
The voyager story is amazing and nothing short of a miracle. The engineers that worked on the project and the new generation that keeps them working exemplifies what this country was, and still is, capable of!
Happy Friday Elysia! Thanks for the update NSF team. Great work as always!🤠👍
thank you so much for keeping us informed of what goes on in our space programs
Awesome! Voyager 1 is back.
I always look forward to your show Elysia. All the best to you and yours.
Thank you so very much love the Friday updates❤
Happy Friday! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you and greetings from germany 😊🇩🇪
Love you weekly updates Elysia. Thank you
Good change of the format! Start with the news, and the last section is this week in launches. I really like this
Amazing stuff
Kudos to the team that built that !!!
It’s amazing the engineers of the day built in the ability to isolate everything. It just keeps going
Are her earings the gold records on Voyager?
Probably yes, because she’s awesome like that.
They are, indeed!
@@elysiasegal That’s so cool Elysia! I thought you were wearing old half dollars at first. Your earring fashion fun is so awesome! 😂🎉❤
It woke up again! Wow!!
My first launch that I saw in person was B-1060 and I’m so sad to see it go 😢
Love your earrings!
I was like 15 when they shot that off, that's amazing they both still work.
Voyager I &II are the greatest examples for why nuclear power is needed aboard space probes. Also interesting next to the tiny computer memory is that both Voyagers use 8-track tape for long term storage. 😎
Lurve you guys
Incredible 🤩
Our launch pads so cute 😂
Smart V1 team at JPL; congrats to them!
I was 18 years old in 1977 when both Voyagers launched ! I remember Apollo, Skylab, and Shuttle more than Voyagers. V'ger was also in the first Star Trek movie !
Very good recap
Elysia definitely gets the “best dressed” award out of the entire NSF team. Specially for coordinating her earring choice with the topic of the week. 👏🏻
Do they get lunch before launch?
Yessss SHES STILL ALIVE VOYAGER IS ALIVE! WELL DONE NASS! Once again did an amazing
Love the ear rings
TWO BOXES OF DONUTS?!?!?! So envious and I want to work there now.....
Finally a new British Astronaut!
Do your ear rings represent the gold record that was sent with Voyager?
Yep!
Good Saturday morning
The Voyager team are freakin’ wizards.
7:28 the mockup in NBL showed by Destin on smarter everyday looks more like the one in blue's graphics than SpaceX's.
If we figure out overnighting on lunar surface w/o RTG, lunar exploration can be attainable by smaller budget projects.
We were on Shetland last week and drove past this construction. UK Government seems to have invested heavily in putting new roads in place for traffic. But it's all single track, so I have no idea how they expect to get a rocket up there!
What are the earrings this time? You should be required to tell us or show a close-up of them at the end, or something. They always are so cool and fun! (These ones look like the Voyager Golden Records, which would be AWESOME! Watching you makes me want to pierce my ears just so that I can copy your style).
You are correct, that's what they were!
Earth & Human existence must Be saved.
They're going to send a crew on the Starliner ? Seems extremely risky with all the issues. I'd want them to do another test flight if I was on the crew
I wish they talked half as much about recovering HST anomalies as they do about Voyager.
We've also talked about Hubble in prior episodes of This Week In Spaceflight
Hope we are also preparing for the return of V’ger 😉
If the crewed Starliner launch, eight days from now, gets delayed, then when will the next launch attempt be?
I recommend that the Starliner astronauts call in sick on the day of the flight.
300th time for space x?! That's insane i can't wait within a decade it will be a thousand. Imagine that
GO little SLIM!!!! , cant wait to see jaxa's fully enclosed rover design !!! now if we can just get S X and NASA to get the launch vehicles to work . think that S-X should set up the first test lunar Starships to be able to convert to habs and carry some sort of ground clearing rover to clear off pads for future lunar Starships
❤️👍🏽
i heard something about new horizon found another ice belt?
👀🚀👍
👍♥️
The next time we can launch another Voyager will be 2151.
V'ger lives!
Nice Shirt
This is some nonsense that I came across this morning on the Starliner launch, from 'The Byte' article by Noor Al-Siban on May 09: A NASA contractor is urging the space agency to suspend the upcoming Boeing Starliner launch over major safety concerns with the aerospace company's wares. In a press release, the president of ValveTech, a NASA contractor that supplies the agency with parts, warned that the buzzing sound heard during the now-scrubbed Starliner launch could indicate something seriously wrong with the transport capsule. "As a valued NASA partner and as valve experts, we strongly urge them not to attempt a second launch due to the risk of a disaster occurring on the launchpad," ValveTech president Erin Faville cautioned. "According to media reports, a buzzing sound indicating the leaking valve was noticed by someone walking by the Starliner minutes before launch. This sound could indicate that the valve has passed its lifecycle." WTF.
😎😎😎
Im scared for the astronauts riding the Boeing starliner, hope the quality control was enforced, but i would feel better if this was test flown again just like the spacex dragon was before it was allowed to carry humans. I hope their mission is safe and successful.
WRONG - Has everybody forgot that Andrew 'Andy' Thomas was Australia's first astronaut? - STS-77, STS-89/91, STS-102, STS-114. So sad that some folk can be forgotten so soon and so easily.
I guess he was a woman then?
WRONG - 0:45 "first female astronaut"
😭
V'ger is forever
Watch, Voyager1 is going to to crash into the back of an alien rickshaw driver.
Imagine if the US and China had been allies all along? We would no doubt have bases on Mars and would be looking at visiting the moons of Jupiter
About time that USA got back to business, how long has it been to put our own astronauts into orbit?
The US has been able to put its own astronauts in orbit for 4 years now thanks to Dragon
It's been fifty seven days since the last crewed launch to the ISS from American soil hosted on the 4th of March 2023 at 03 : 53 (UTC) carrying 4 astronauts on the Endeavour Crew Dragon spacecraft developed by SpaceX that was carried on the Falcon 9 - B1083. How did you not know that? Wait, you thought the last time America launched humans was on Atlantis in 2011?
How is it that a device that was built in the 70’s with less memory then a key fob can keep going but my iPhone can go more then 3 years?
well at least the nutjobs had a field day with Voyagers "weird transmissions" while they lasted. Sometimes you wonder if all these Aliens have really nothing better to do....
What up with those Chinese putting their foot in rope loops? Camrad Xi tell them to stay tall?
i'ts noice to see that 50 year olds can still do good work, unlike me, no software update can fix my issues 🤣
Wait, Blue Origin still flies spacecraft?
back when engineers and programmers wrote decent code and good machines. we suck at this now.
Has Elysia got 52 sets of earrings that’s what I want to know 😂?
VGer
Ooops. I think SpaceX will be able to transport 100+ tons of cargo to the moon's surface.
Very good vids. Lowest fat/news ratio around!
first
Why are they going to kill B1060? Nooooo
I'm glad they fixed Voyager from so far away, but she's showing her age 😢
Rerouting power is not magical. 😂
Miss posky
Everyone knows that Voyager 1 stopped working because the universe wasnt really rendered at that distance, and needed some time to load, hence the jibberish data!!!
Boeing will never be competitive with SpaceX..............
STARLINER WHAT WASTE OF MONEY
Complete waste of money. For the past 40+ years, nothing has changed. The "signals" are equivalent to a watch beeping once a week.
The title of the video, "Starliner Is Ready A Flight Crew", is a nonsense statement. Now, had a "For" been inserted in there, it might make sense, but again, don't you have anyone who can 1) speak English and 2) proofread? Sorry, but y'all are representing a set of engineering disciplines, you've got to at least pay lip service to making sense.
Fixed, just a typo. Thanks for the catch. 👍 Das
that NASA room is so different from Spacex. Bunch of guys in suits with tent cards sitting around a table. What could go wrong?
Intro's suck. Just start the damn video.
i am australian. the first female australian astronaut is a complete fucking joke. she didn't make the cut for the official esa selection. she was 4 of 5 to be offered the option to buy her way in to the training. the australian government had to pay $425,000 for her 12 months of training, and she will never actually fly unless the australian government pays millions for a seat on an axiom flight. esa graduated 12 of their own astronauts with only 5 seats available. esa wont fly on soyuz, and america wont let russia outnumber them, so the 4th chair in dragon or starliner is shared between esa and jaxa, so each agency gets 1 flight a year.
ESA graduated 5 astronauts. The other are reserve astronauts. They will all 5 fly to the ISS before it is decommissioned- indeed 1 per year. And the Australian government would be stupid not to buy your astronaut a seat on Axiom.
@@ladydustin7811 why should the australian taxpayers spend 30 million dollars on a 2 week holiday to space for a highly paid government employee who has already had 425 thousand dollars spent on her training. for 10 years i was told we cant pay for the learning licence, but once you get it, we can pay for lessons. so i got the learning licence, and then was told, no sorry, we cant pay for your lessons. my lessons were 100each, and i probably needed 5. so $500, and they wouldnt even pay that. her 1 year of training cost more than i will get to live on for my whole life. we desperately need houses. that 30 million could pay for 600 public housing houses to be built. if she wants to go to space, she can pay for it herself or do a gofundme or something.
Yes, it still works.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You're kidding right?
Not miracles, human ingenuity and pattern recognition. Miracle denotes a supernatural element. So unless your going all spacXentric and going all crazy religious. Maybe use better adjectives to differentiate your channels. 😝😂😂
I’m an atheist; but there’s no reason to go apeshit. Chill, ok?
Don't be an ignorant hater.
