They'll produce some later on. They'll say it takes 4ever to process the c.g.i. images from data collected by the graphic arts guy working with nasa. "Well yeah it's cgi but it,,,, has to be" end quote Nasa cgi guy .
factor of 2 _is_ momentum. factor of 4 is kinetic energy. I think in ten years the flaws in the mirror will be modeled and their optical effects understood, and advanced processing will factor them out. Perhaps they'll jitter one mirror and take another photo, to move the errors and give two different views, so it can be subtracted out.
Was wondering if anybody else caught Fraser's high school error. And remember, KE is a factor of 4 because of 2 squared, but only JWST velocity vector part.
I like how you mentioned that the Boosters of Artemis 1 are now housing coral reef for the ocean’s floor and not consider them as some junk that contributes to the ocean’s pollution.
Yes Shuttle program recovered and re used the Solid fuel boosters so why not the SLS? Better still bolt on some falcon nine boosters instead and re use them. I wonder if the thrust to weight specs are similar.
@Mit...I believe the extra segment added, made the weight too much to deal with...not to mention, some of this hardware is 30 years old. Use it up while you still got it..
@Waxpaper...As far as I know, only 2 SRBs went into the drink on Wednesday morning, as opposed to the tons of plastic garbage that enters every day... P.S. Did you use any plastic today? If so, did you recycle it properly?
@@codymoe4986 I'm guessing you don't know. This is becoming a common thing to say when people want to dump things into the ocean, now. It's a euphemistic way of justifying disposal in the ocean. I think there are even companies that advertise it; turn your scrap into coral reefs!
Since Mercury is tidally locked, would it be helpful to land a space telescope on Mercury’s dark side that could spot dangerous asteroids that are hidden from us by Sol? (Turns out Mercury isn’t tidally locked)
Mercury rotates in a way that is unique in the Solar System. It is tidally locked with the Sun in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, meaning that relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun. Orbital period (sidereal): 87.9691 d; 0.240846 yr; 0.5 Mercury synodic day Axial tilt: 2.04′ ± 0.08′ (to orbit); (0.034°) Equatorial rotation velocity: 10.892 km/h (3.026 m/s)
Strange to say it, but Mercury is not tidally locked to the Sun. It has a WEIRD set of sunrises and sunsets, though. Maybe there can be places at Mercury’s poles that could accommodate a ground-based telescope. I can imagine Earth’s magnetic field and human-made radio noise interfering with any radio antenna placed on Mercury. A journey to Mercury takes tremendous amounts of delta-v. Easier to use the Moon of Earth for radio and optical ground-based telescopes.
@@jimcabezola3051 interesting.. I didn’t know that. Luna would be good on the dark side fr blocking Earth interference but it might not be any better for catching asteroids coming out from close to Sol. Thanks for the info. 👍🏼
We could put a telescope close to the sun for that reason, It could have a protective shield like Parker solar probe. My guess is that it would be pretty expensive for that mission. It takes a lot of energy to get close to the sun, Although scary, there are not that many of those objects even though we just found a few over the last couple of years.
Hey Fraser! What a great time to be alive! So many discoveries and so much activity in space I am loving it. Really enjoying your videos! Now where's that Patreon link 🙂(fyi I know where it is ;-)
It really is. If we can *make it through* this present craziness, political nonsense, and superstition, the future is going to be remarkable. I'm so glad that I was born when I was, because I can appreciate both what came before, as well as what's coming next!
It’s taken my whole life time to get some more advanced moon landings. Kennedy made his announcement when I was in the 4th grade, I am now 71 , 72 in March and we are finally planning moon landings with the goal of some possibility of a community. Finally!
Just found you today and really enjoying your videos. I was born in '59, so it was an exciting time to be alive with regard to space exploration. An ancillary benefit was all of the great products that came out of the space program inventing technology they needed for Apollo. I also live in Texas, where space stuff is really heating up.
First time watching & I have to say you do a wonderful job of explaining things without making me feel stupid. I was 8 in 69 which was a cool time to be a kid. Thank you for your awesome work
The animation showing the planned obits as the moon orbits earth, was cool. It really shows how the craft is taking advantage of the moon's gravity. I probably got way more excited about that simple animation than I should have. Especially the "drop" back to earth.
Yes a long way to fall. I liked the part in the Apollo 13 movie when Lovell / Hanks says to Houston that he needs the re entry dats as “ Earth is getting awfully big”.
Right? For me, initially I wasn't the impressed with the design ("oh they're just reusing spare parts" - which they did, really), but when I saw that thing take off? I remember just how good the people at NASA are at their jobs.
I've made this comment elsewhere before but I would like to repeat it here. NASA (and Boeing) need to learn the lessons regarding media presentation given by the coverage by SpaceX, Rocket Lab etal. Having live video coverage massively increases public interest and engagement. If there is a program that needs that sort of interaction, this is it. And those animations -so very 1980's!
I can still remember the first shuttle launch in 81.That design has really come a long way. Even the amount of propellant seems like half of what it used to be.
Congrats Spacex, nice to see Mission Artemis out there. Thank you Elon for ALL you do to advance our civilization and humanity! Thank you Frazier for bringing us this content!
8:55 computer simulations of it in its various stages: What we want is a realistic simulation of Walter Cronkite sitting at his news desk manipulating plastic models to show what's happening. (Give me a thumbs up if you remember that from Apollo)
Thank you! I was also really disappointed by the paltry video from Artemis after launch. They had a highly-produced, maybe overly-produced, pre-launch program. But post launch was mostly just static computer graphics without even tracking data and minimal commentary. There was some live video, but most was over-exposed and fragmentary- no stage separations, no panel deployments, no satellite deployments and very little coverage of Earth. They have about four dozen cameras onboard so there is no reason for missing these billion dollar views. This is the easy stuff! And it’s what will capture the public’s imagination. I’m no fan of SpaceX, but geez, follow their lead or hire some of their video people.
@@edu.M.A.0077 no, that’s absurd. There is live video from the ship, it’s just not used very effectively. There are other ways to confirm the ship is in orbit: radio signals from the craft, the deployment of the microsatellites, and (eventually) splashdown.
I saw some NASA commentary about power supply being an issue, seeming to suggest that they had to conserve power for later in the mission, when video transmission becomes very power-thirsty. They of course have batteries that charge from the solar arrays, but they apparently have a tight power budget what with all the systems they're testing, and the need to minimize mass, of which the batteries surely make up a large portion. Now as to why they don't just post up all the video once they have it downloaded, i'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that, since some of their information can be classified, if they have a habit of releasing everything that can be shared, then it's blatantly obvious whenever they'd be hiding something. The intel communities' normal practice in such situations is to hold back some things that reasonably could be shared, just to create plausible deniability at all times. The U.S. is certainly in competition with China, India, Japan, and to an extent Europe, when it comes to claiming lunar acreage and maintaining a presence thereon so their claim can't be jumped. This makes every detail of every mission potentially sensitive. In fact i'd expect that similar restrictions will be seen WRT SpaceX during its operations in support of Artemis.
Every video we are fed is paltry. They suck for a reason. Because they can’t show too much of they will be caught. Space is fake. No proof it exists except what they feed us, yet every experience and experiment we have on earth shows no curve and no motion.

Myth busters did something around two objects coming together at speed. Also whether or not it’s facing forward or not it is still moving at the same speed so I don’t know how going backwards or forwards makes any difference.
One of the few bright spots in today's world. Proud that our nation is a part of this on going quest to save mankind from itself. One thing that struck me was that approximately 4.4 billion dollars was the projected funding required for Artemis 4 whereas the Republican party of the US received 85 billion in donations from two contributors towards the 2022 mid-term elections. Would it not have been grand if that money had instead been used for our wonderful space programs.
15:19 one correction, Starlink satelittes do flare on final altitude. Many have been seen recently on both the Southern and Nothern hemispheres, funnily enough they have been confused with UFOs and even got their own name (racetrack UFOs) because of the pattern they make on the sky.
15:20 You can in fact see the starlink satellites with your naked eye if you are somwhere very dark. I know this because I can see them from ChickenHole. At least in the summer, I haven’t seen them in a while because by the time it’s dark enough they are also in earths shadow.
Sorry if this has been a repeatedly asked and answered question, but I wanted to ask on here for confirmation and if anyone has a link for the info, that would be great! So Webb HAS been observing Trappist 1 - but when do we get the results publicly? Is it going to be a year or a few months before it can be published or what?
NASA gives out data immediately, free of charge. However! It can be gobbledegook unless you know how to analyse it. You need highly skilled experts to make sense of the data. This can take time.
It's amazing watching SLS launch everytime I watch a replay of it. However, what isn't amazing is having to hear "booster igsnigician!" In every replay. There's gotta be a way to cut the mission control audio so we can just hear the rocket.
There are already a couple dozen spectator shots of this launch, floating around on TH-cam... If you are looking for a "better" video, there's a good start...
@@codymoe4986 I’ve seen some of the amateur video’s and still photos which are all seemingly better than what NASA put out. It’s just disappointing and I guess SoaceX needs to teach the A/V guys at NASA.
All science on the rules and behavior of our Universe will be greatly improved the James Webb Telescope and I hope Space telescope projects are expanded to bring even more knowledge to our science of creation the laws that affect us all every day.
Hey Fraser, I know that Gateway is supposed to provide data relays with the surface for Artemis landing missions, but has there been any discussion about dedicated lunar communications satellites or other forms of data networking? Maybe I've just played too much Kerbal and I'm just used to adding a couple of cheap relay satellites to every interplanetary mission.
I mean, considering it's designed to survive re entry from the moon safely, maybe not. Orion is an absolute unit. Hurricane is absolutely nothing to that thing
@@alrightydave Never underestimate oxidation! Especially due to salt corrosion! SpaceX's Starship and Superheavy are currently experiencing accelerated corrosion due to just being so close to the gulf, and salt being in the damp wind that blows off the gulf. Salt MASSIVELY accelerates corrosion of space vehicles, to the point where, if a craft is not designed specifically with salt water exposure in mind, it will not be reusable! In fact, the reason why Superheavy and Starship BOTH are going to be expended during their first orbital launch, is because they will be making a splashdown in saltwater. As soon as that happens, they are done for. SpaceX can take them apart and get lots of data from them, but they will be so corroded due to the saltwater that they're already deemed expended before the launch even happens. And yes, SpaceX has already officially themselves said that the first superheavy & starship to splash down will be expended and not reused, many many times now in fact. I can link you if you like. Saltwater corrosion may also be part of the reason behind why the backflow valves failed on that one SpaceX Crew Dragon that blew up during testing!
So much news, so many thoughts. Thank you! Top of the list: don't you consider a Tesla Roadster a human capable vehicle? Also, isn't most stuff in the solar system going somewhat in the same direction around the sun, so facing forwards versus backwards would change relative velocity by less than a factor of two? I'm not sure how much less, but it might be significant.
The Tesla Roadster has fallen pretty much into ruin, now. I saw something, on Anton Petrov, Dr. Becky, Kyle Hill, or a similar channel, that said the solar radiation would make the materials like the tires and interior basically rot away. Paint, too, I'd wager. I don't recall the rest of the video, but it wasn't good on it.
The Flerfers are going to have a field day with you making up words like orbit and micrometeroids and providing so much background for things that only exist in CGI
That young star is at zero point of Aether's Magnetic Torus. Mediated to center of everything is Counterspace. The very center is Aether's apex. Scalable Aether Universe!
Not exactly. Unless you get extremely close where tidal forces tear you apart, a black hole's gravity is essentially exactly like the gravity of a star or planet.
You know I didn't really think about it until you just said it but you're right about the camera and I was expecting more within again I've watched a lot of SpaceX launches and I'm just spoiled. I mean you think NASA could get that part right. The lack of footage from spacecraft as we speak is heartbreaking
Hi Fraser! ~ If Artemis 1/SLS rocket is more powerful than the Saturn V rocket, having more thrust, 8.8 million lbs. of thrust (SLS) vs 7.5 million lbs. (Saturn V)... 1. Why will it only lift a little over half as much as Saturn V, (27 tons for Artemis/50 tons for Saturn V)? 2. Take Artemis I so much longer to reach the moon than Apollo? Is it simply because they are using the moon's gravity to change the deceleration velocity, the middle stage of the Saturn V, or because Commander Moonikin does not have as heavy a foot as Micheal Collins or Buzz Aldrin?
I have a question..why do they need the SLS to get to the space station to transfer to Star Ship on the third Artimis mission? Dragon on a Falcon 9 can take 4 astronauts that far. The SLS costs so much to just launch..it really doesn't make sense.
Dragon isn't equipped to keep humans alive in space as long as Orion, but it would be theoretically possible. I agree that there's an opportunity to modify a Crew Dragon for longer flights, maybe send a Falcon Heavy. But SpaceX is putting all their plans on Starship. They think it'll fly to the Moon, land, return to Earth and do it all over again. So, no need for Dragon, SLS, Orion... anything. :-)
It was going about 25,000 mph when it first left earth orbit. Then as it traveled outbound to the moon the earth's gravity gradually slowed it way down. Finally it passed through the point where the earth and moon's gravitational pulls are equal. That's the point of minimum velocity. After that the moon's gravitational pull becomes stronger and the spacecraft will begin to speed up again. The same thing happens while coming back. The spacecraft slows down after it leaves lunar orbit, then it passes that same point to where the earth's gravitational pull is stronger, which speeds it up again back to 25,000 mph at reentry.
08:42 Thank you for saying this. There's NO reason anymore for space coverage to look like i watched on my 17" Sony Trinitron from 1984 with RenderMan™ computer graphics from 1992. We have 4K/8K GoPros. NASA could literally partner with GoPro, modify the cameras for space, maybe even borrow some Starlink bandwidth? Solutions are out there.
ive been saying that about the animations.. lets see? yea like 15 years now. someone said this trip has 22 cameras. seems more like 2 hasselblads and exactly know thought of what we wanna see
Titles for your future vids: 'Earth no longer safe?'-'Moon is leaving us at disturbing speed'-'Aliens might have been watching us since 1941'-'Earth's magnetism can flip any moment'----If you need any more-just call.
Unfortunately, I believe NASA desires to have less visual recordings via camera to withhold evidence’ of unexplainable incidents that the viewing public craves.
Actually the opposite is true, when lights are dying out, they emit this very hour glass appearance of light as they flare up and die. Its like when a match is striked but without the wood part of the match, it flares up in an extremely bright light, then dies out. the match however remains alight a little longer because the wood of the match still burns, but the lighter thing that causes the flare light has already burnt out. We have done and seen this experiment done with lighting and LEDs and other things, this phenomenon only always happens then the light is dying out. This experiment can be tested and replicated numerous times just as described above. So it is not a star forming, but a light source that is dying out.
i've been waiting for webb since early high school. i want to be disappointed by it as it took so long and cost so much but it just kicks ass everytime.
Fraser, I rejoice with you re Successful launch of SLS and am glad they're minimizing micrometeorite impacts by pointing scope towards wake, but you incorrectly said speed doubled if scope pointed in direction of revolution but that momentum is quadrupled. P=mass x velocity. Momentum increases by same amount (factor)as speed assuming direction same.
I think that each country should be responsible for going out and cleaning up all of their space junk and getting it out of space, bring it back and recycle it or burn it. Just get it out of space. Makes me so frustrated and there may come a time where we cannot even go back out to space due to the amount of garbage floating around, cannot get past the junk. UGH...
Can you tell me why when I see the moon 🌙 Especially the last two nights the moon looks huge And when I look at it I can see what looks to be like two moons ? one is slightly higher than the other ?? Or looks like one behind the other ?
❓️Hi there Fraser, after watching the concrete being pulverized by Starship's booster static test fire it got me thinking. Why not have an inverted cone underneath the launch pad or even a bowl shaped pit under it to better concentrate the blast force instead of just a flat surface❓️
@@johnnorth2616 ya you might be right. But what if it was lined with huge steel plates? But then maybe the heat would roast the rocket bells? I'm just surprised no one has tried such a design befor.
I wonder if LaGrange points are more prone to micro-meteorite activity? Or less? I'm hoping Artemis brings us some useful GCR data from the onboard experiments.. 🤞 Data from deep into space! :)
The answer is ...more prone. Example: The famous Trojan Asteroids which follow Jupiter around the Solar System are located at the L4 and L5 LaGrange points of Jupiter. LaGrange points tend to be "resting places" for things which wander into them....including a thing called the JWST.
@@petergibson2318 Not really, the L2 point that JWST uses is an unstable point. Dust and particles don't tend to stay there, L4 and L5 which are ahead and behind the moon are stable and do accumulate debris.

However! It can be gobbledegook unless you know how to analyse it.
You need highly skilled experts to make sense of the data. This can take time.
Extremely entertaining to watch 👍
Thank you for sharing this is very informative. Bless you my friend
It's amazing watching SLS launch everytime I watch a replay of it. However, what isn't amazing is having to hear "booster igsnigician!" In every replay. There's gotta be a way to cut the mission control audio so we can just hear the rocket.
The launch was one of the coolest things I ever seen. And can’t imagine what it would have looked and sounded like in person
There are already a couple dozen spectator shots of this launch, floating around on TH-cam...
If you are looking for a "better" video, there's a good start...
@@codymoe4986 I’ve seen some of the amateur video’s and still photos which are all seemingly better than what NASA put out. It’s just disappointing and I guess SoaceX needs to teach the A/V guys at NASA.
Not only capturing the birth of a star but an entire solar system.
Fraser. Yeah thanks for this interesting and up to date information of all things space and earth! A beautifully done presentation. Thank you.

They are learning quite a lot
All science on the rules and behavior of our Universe will be greatly improved the James Webb Telescope and I hope Space telescope projects are expanded to bring even more knowledge to our science of creation the laws that affect us all every day.
Hopefully Artemis 3 will discover a monolith, and neither space debris nor military space presence will ever be a problem again
Thanks for the video Fraser and the rest of the team :)
I agree about your observation regarding no cameras. They need a better media team
Hey Fraser, I know that Gateway is supposed to provide data relays with the surface for Artemis landing missions, but has there been any discussion about dedicated lunar communications satellites or other forms of data networking? Maybe I've just played too much Kerbal and I'm just used to adding a couple of cheap relay satellites to every interplanetary mission.
Great content, great format. Cheers! Subscribed
2:25 Correct me if I am wrong when i correct you: it is not 4x momentum, but 4x energy, as momentum is m*v but energy is ½mv²...
Can you imagine how crazy it would have been to be inside the Orion capsule during the hurricane?? Probably almost as crazy as a launch!
I mean, considering it's designed to survive re entry from the moon safely, maybe not. Orion is an absolute unit. Hurricane is absolutely nothing to that thing
@@alrightydave Never underestimate oxidation! Especially due to salt corrosion! SpaceX's Starship and Superheavy are currently experiencing accelerated corrosion due to just being so close to the gulf, and salt being in the damp wind that blows off the gulf. Salt MASSIVELY accelerates corrosion of space vehicles, to the point where, if a craft is not designed specifically with salt water exposure in mind, it will not be reusable! In fact, the reason why Superheavy and Starship BOTH are going to be expended during their first orbital launch, is because they will be making a splashdown in saltwater. As soon as that happens, they are done for. SpaceX can take them apart and get lots of data from them, but they will be so corroded due to the saltwater that they're already deemed expended before the launch even happens. And yes, SpaceX has already officially themselves said that the first superheavy & starship to splash down will be expended and not reused, many many times now in fact. I can link you if you like. Saltwater corrosion may also be part of the reason behind why the backflow valves failed on that one SpaceX Crew Dragon that blew up during testing!
So much news, so many thoughts. Thank you! Top of the list: don't you consider a Tesla Roadster a human capable vehicle? Also, isn't most stuff in the solar system going somewhat in the same direction around the sun, so facing forwards versus backwards would change relative velocity by less than a factor of two? I'm not sure how much less, but it might be significant.
The Tesla Roadster has fallen pretty much into ruin, now. I saw something, on Anton Petrov, Dr. Becky, Kyle Hill, or a similar channel, that said the solar radiation would make the materials like the tires and interior basically rot away. Paint, too, I'd wager. I don't recall the rest of the video, but it wasn't good on it.
wait!!!
i thought the X37 was the US Space Force’s purview?!?!
why is the USAF still in charge of this mission?
The Flerfers are going to have a field day with you making up words like orbit and micrometeroids and providing so much background for things that only exist in CGI
That young star is at zero point of Aether's Magnetic Torus. Mediated to center of everything is Counterspace. The very center is Aether's apex.
Scalable Aether Universe!
question. Do black holes act like whirlpool in the bathtub? space is water? Do they bend at sucking or are fixed position?
Not exactly. Unless you get extremely close where tidal forces tear you apart, a black hole's gravity is essentially exactly like the gravity of a star or planet.
You know I didn't really think about it until you just said it but you're right about the camera and I was expecting more within again I've watched a lot of SpaceX launches and I'm just spoiled. I mean you think NASA could get that part right. The lack of footage from spacecraft as we speak is heartbreaking
It's just not a huge priority for them. But I think it should be. :-)
I hope the NASA payments made to SpaceX aren’t used to prop up Twitter.😅
Wild there are that many micro meteorites in that pet of space.
I was randomly thinking about that x37 space plane this week as I remembered it going up, but then nothing afterwards.
Hi Fraser! ~ If Artemis 1/SLS rocket is more powerful than the Saturn V rocket, having more thrust, 8.8 million lbs. of thrust (SLS) vs 7.5 million lbs. (Saturn V)...
1. Why will it only lift a little over half as much as Saturn V, (27 tons for Artemis/50 tons for Saturn V)?
2. Take Artemis I so much longer to reach the moon than Apollo?
Is it simply because they are using the moon's gravity to change the deceleration velocity, the middle stage of the Saturn V, or because Commander Moonikin does not have as heavy a foot as Micheal Collins or Buzz Aldrin?
I have a question..why do they need the SLS to get to the space station to transfer to Star Ship on the third Artimis mission? Dragon on a Falcon 9 can take 4 astronauts that far. The SLS costs so much to just launch..it really doesn't make sense.
Dragon isn't equipped to keep humans alive in space as long as Orion, but it would be theoretically possible. I agree that there's an opportunity to modify a Crew Dragon for longer flights, maybe send a Falcon Heavy. But SpaceX is putting all their plans on Starship. They think it'll fly to the Moon, land, return to Earth and do it all over again. So, no need for Dragon, SLS, Orion... anything. :-)
Any idea what class of star that protostar you mentioned will be when it's born?
Great show Fraser!
I was surprised at the relative modest speed that Orion is traveling to the moon. Back in the day an SR71 could have kept up LOL.
Has to catch up first...that first leg is gonna take some extra effort...
It was going about 25,000 mph when it first left earth orbit. Then as it traveled outbound to the moon the earth's gravity gradually slowed it way down. Finally it passed through the point where the earth and moon's gravitational pulls are equal. That's the point of minimum velocity. After that the moon's gravitational pull becomes stronger and the spacecraft will begin to speed up again. The same thing happens while coming back. The spacecraft slows down after it leaves lunar orbit, then it passes that same point to where the earth's gravitational pull is stronger, which speeds it up again back to 25,000 mph at reentry.
@@joevignolor4u949 👍👍👍👋
First time watching your channel 👍💪 awesome
I subbed and waiting for your next episode 🙂
Oh great, thanks a lot! Welcome aboard.
Thanks!
08:42 Thank you for saying this. There's NO reason anymore for space coverage to look like i watched on my 17" Sony Trinitron from 1984 with RenderMan™ computer graphics from 1992. We have 4K/8K GoPros. NASA could literally partner with GoPro, modify the cameras for space, maybe even borrow some Starlink bandwidth? Solutions are out there.
They use GoPro4 sensors on the orion capsule....
Which way the telescope is pointed has absolutely nothing to do with *how hard* the hits are, but *where on the telescope* the damage occurs.
Why do you think X37B has not been transferred to Space Force control?
ive been saying that about the animations.. lets see? yea like 15 years now. someone said this trip has 22 cameras. seems more like 2 hasselblads and exactly know thought of what we wanna see
At 8:59, space ship looks pretty beat up under stripes, is this real or a model? If real, what happened?
A Star forming by defiing all the laws of physics. Amazing!
Love Space Bites
Remember when Perry Como sang "Catch a forming star"
Is obvious that the military industrial complex has the stuff humanity has truly accomplished for military use only!
Real space news and no "fan service". So rare..... So rare.
What would fan service look like when reporting space news?
@@frasercain visit any SpaceX channel to find out
A lot of slow pans up huge rockets, I get it...
Titles for your future vids: 'Earth no longer safe?'-'Moon is leaving us at disturbing speed'-'Aliens might have been watching us since 1941'-'Earth's magnetism can flip any moment'----If you need any more-just call.
BlueWalker 3 will be doubled in size, so up to 1.3 magnitudes brighter than the prototype.
Awesome thanks
Please explain what is being done to protect living beings while passing through the Van Allen radiation belts?
I was relieved to see Artesis 1 / SLS lift off and not blow up. When they light those solid rocket boosters the thing is going UP.
When facing the direction of orbit around our sun, when space objects hit it, think of a head-on collision of two vehicles with no brakes.
Unfortunately, I believe NASA desires to have less visual recordings via camera to withhold evidence’ of unexplainable incidents that the viewing public craves.
Momentum is linear with velocity. 2x v is only 2x p. Energy is however proportional to v**2, so that would be 4x.
that protostar image! amazing--totally new
Doesn't pass the sniff test... turning the sensors around does not make meteorites hit slower.. it just changes the direction they hit first.
Thank you very much for keeping me updated. I will b3 back for me .
P.s: space net for debris?
Actually the opposite is true, when lights are dying out, they emit this very hour glass appearance of light as they flare up and die. Its like when a match is striked but without the wood part of the match, it flares up in an extremely bright light, then dies out. the match however remains alight a little longer because the wood of the match still burns, but the lighter thing that causes the flare light has already burnt out. We have done and seen this experiment done with lighting and LEDs and other things, this phenomenon only always happens then the light is dying out.
This experiment can be tested and replicated numerous times just as described above.
So it is not a star forming, but a light source that is dying out.
i've been waiting for webb since early high school. i want to be disappointed by it as it took so long and cost so much but it just kicks ass everytime.
NASA should hire Fraser Cain as a commenter on their launches
Fraser, I rejoice with you re Successful launch of SLS and am glad they're minimizing micrometeorite impacts by pointing scope towards wake, but you incorrectly said speed doubled if scope pointed in direction of revolution but that momentum is quadrupled. P=mass x velocity. Momentum increases by same amount (factor)as speed assuming direction same.
I think that each country should be responsible for going out and cleaning up all of their space junk and getting it out of space, bring it back and recycle it or burn it. Just get it out of space. Makes me so frustrated and there may come a time where we cannot even go back out to space due to the amount of garbage floating around, cannot get past the junk. UGH...
Ditto my friend, Ditto 😉
Can you tell me why when I see the moon 🌙 Especially the last two nights the moon looks huge
And when I look at it I can see what looks to be like two moons ? one is slightly higher than the other ?? Or looks like one behind the other ?
2:35 Factor of two momentum, but factor of 4 kinetic energy.
I don't know if you realize this, but the youtube captioning writes "crewed" as "crude", and I sometimes need a double-take when that happens.
The mood is inhabited by aliens and i don't imagine that we are welcome there!
So incredibly smart to do a dry run of the system with no human lives in peril. NASA are grown up professionals now.
I agree, very smart not to risk human lives. I think this cost far too much for the gains, however.
Feel like NASA should launch a guardian satellite for JWST. Like a shield satellite to either take the hits and or destroy these micro meteorites
So, a satellite than can detect a dust particle travelling at 11km/s and destroy it before it hits JWST. That's a tall order.
@@richardswaby6339 or just a shield 🛡️ satellite to take the hits. Idk feel like something needs to be done other than just having JWST fly backwards
❓️Hi there Fraser, after watching the concrete being pulverized by Starship's booster static test fire it got me thinking. Why not have an inverted cone underneath the launch pad or even a bowl shaped pit under it to better concentrate the blast force instead of just a flat surface❓️
Maybe that would force particles back up toward the vehicle and damage it
@@johnnorth2616 ya you might be right. But what if it was lined with huge steel plates? But then maybe the heat would roast the rocket bells? I'm just surprised no one has tried such a design befor.
I wonder if LaGrange points are more prone to micro-meteorite activity?
Or less?
I'm hoping Artemis brings us some useful GCR data from the onboard experiments.. 🤞
Data from deep into space! :)
The answer is ...more prone.
Example: The famous Trojan Asteroids which follow Jupiter around the Solar System are located at the L4 and L5 LaGrange points of Jupiter.
LaGrange points tend to be "resting places" for things which wander into them....including a thing called the JWST.
@@petergibson2318 Not really, the L2 point that JWST uses is an unstable point. Dust and particles don't tend to stay there, L4 and L5 which are ahead and behind the moon are stable and do accumulate debris.
Interesting again!
