Thanks Elysia and the whole NSF team!
-
Elysia, you are, by a long, long way, the best presenter of NSF. All to do with your smooth, uninterrupted delivery (I don't think you corrected yourself even once) and professional image. Thank you.
-
Thanks Elysia and NSF team.
-
Elysia and NSF, y'all rock! Peace
-
3 1/2 minutes of perfect clear sky totality in Island Falls Maine. Almost no traffic issues. Awesome!
-
Once again Elysia a great this week in space flight, Thank you!!
-
Elysia, you always do a great job with your reports. You also have a nice collection of space themed earrings.
-
Thanks for the weekly update TWiS Team! I really enjoy the breakdown of the weeks launches along with their trajectories and orbits. It's interesting and helpful to see the numbers visualized. The Starlink total running count vs how many are operational or deorbited is always mind-boggling. Plus, guessing what earrings Elysia might be wearing is a fun game to play. I'm typically wrong as I am with most things in life. Keep up the great work NSF and I will keep coming back. Thanks again!

So good to have cameras on Starlink Satellites.

Dang I didn’t realize how iconic this week was! Total solar eclipse, delta heavy last flight… Those are some big events for just one week. We were lucky enough to live in the direct path. It was only a little bit south of you guys though so it was also quite cloudy but we all had such an awesome time and still caught glimpses of the eclipse.

Elysia!🎉 Happy Friday NSF team, great work!
-
We live in amazing times when there is so much space news in just one week!
-
I'll never stop being fascinated with the engineering that goes into rockets. Such an incredible feat of human accomplishment.
-
Merci Elysia pour vos très beaux documentaires. Cordialement
-
Another great update from NSF!
-
Very showing of the raptor vacuum engine 👌 👏 👍
-
Thanks for the run-down of this week. As someone stuck in the UK for the eclipse, thank you for all the excellent coverage. Looked amazing! Looked spooky! Going though the launches, I lolled at "For the 3rd Falcon 9 launch this week" and lolled again cos I forgot there was a 4th. Crazy times! Relentless.
-
Awesome content as always, and of course…the earrings 👍👍👍👍👍👍
-
The fact that Delta is completed around 700 in 65 years and the Falcon family has 300 flights in a fraction of the time is illustrative of the revolution that Space X started and now includes other companies. This is a new golden age of Space Exploration. We also have the extraordinary programs from India and China.

Another great broadcast ❤
