Don’t change a thing, Scott. I love the ad hoc “hey, I find this interesting .... let me share what I’m thinking”. Your “style” is precisely what makes it great and genuine. It is as if we are having a stream of conscientiousness interaction. Personal interaction, without being personal. Stay true to yourself and don’t shine it all up.
Yes Scott. Please address all those black dots moving across the scene in the first flight video. I've counted at least three, and I've not even tried. I know it is probably very large dust particles but they appear the size of birds (oops, now I just started another conspiracy theory "Nasa Hides Fact Of Birds On Mars!" (I should have kept my mouth shut.)
Your channel is a stark contrast to all those polished to the minute detail channels with self-promotion, merchandise, a whole team behind the scene and everything optimized for the algorithm. And I love it. These other channels are businesses and there is nothing wrong with that. But you are the guy everyone can relate to, the awesome science teacher, the nerdy neighbour you can share a beer with and just love to listen to what he has to tell. You are approachable, funny and with an incredible knowledge. Never change.
@@elevatorphish yeah they take an hour to explain an idea that takes Scott minutes. Scott doesn’t underestimate the intelligence of his audience like a lot of those guys do.
Whenever there is space news, this is my go-to channel. Spacex blows up, Arecibo collapses, Ingenuity flies, all bring the same reaction: let's see what Scott Manly can tell us about it!
I will see a headline about space stuff and happily avoid watching the network coverage and the website stories, waiting for Scot Manley to put out a video on it. This is because I know that the fast story is often less deep, and Scott will take the time to get more information, and distill it down to an easily understood package.
Same here! I surprise myself thinking "oh no Space X blew another starship! No worries, I'm sure Scott Manley will be able to explain how & why it happened"
Scott manley is the only youtuber who doesnt care about the huge amounts of ad revenue he could get from TH-cam instead he just does his normal job. Awesome person.
"doesnt care about the huge amounts of ad revenue he could get from TH-cam" I'm going out on a limb and guess that's probably what working as a software dev at apple in silicon valley will do for ya.
I think it's hilarious that Scott has 1.24 million subscribers and still thinks of himself as an amateur 😂 Very endearing 😋 There are full time TH-camrs who have a tenth of that subscriber base 🙈
I really have to emphasize the comment of Arnold! I have a PhD in physics and have been working now in science education for quite some time and I have to say, your „amateur“ content is often times more correct and more educational than some of the content of science channels that are supposedly doing this more „professionally“. So I really cannot stress that point enough! What you do is really of amazing quality!
Professional TH-camrs are generally going to have worse information because they have to spend most of their time trying to figure out what is going to get the most clicks in order to be able to purchase dinner off advertising. Since he has an independent career, it ironically gives him more independence in order to make these videos with whatever content he wants.
It's not a particular surprise really. University lecturer and similar jobs don't pay that well, and anyone who is really great at stuff from a STEM background as Scott clearly is will always earn far more from a non-educational career. So for him, the educational things are just a hobby.
From the apperances Scotts living a good life, hes a great job, great interests which he gets to engage in, and im guessing a great wife. Least i hope thats all true, it does appear that way
Having watched Scott since I was a kid, and now being an Aerospace grad, the end almost brought a tear to my eye - we love how you are! Never feel the need to change.
It's kinda important that it's all somewhat amateurish looking. You just look like some dude who happens to know some stuff. It makes you very approachable and when you're dealing with complex topics like space, it really helps
You don't need to change, Scott. I love that you don't talk down to your audience (like certain "professional" science programs do), you assume your audience is reasonably intelligent , has a sense of humour,and does not need every little thing hammered home several times in an over-dramatic manner. Keep up the excellent work, Scott! .
You are already sticky. We all turn to you as your analysis is fantastic. You're not afraid to get techy and geeky, but you do a good job of carrying us along to the point of understanding a bit of the tech and geeky stuff needed for the analysis. I very much appreciate that!
Scott, Please keep your "scrappy" style videos because your science content is absolutely unparalleled and will be of great educational value for decades to come. 😉👍
@@otheraccount5252 the 99% is just related to the chemical reaction. Musk said that because it's a hot gas-gas interaction he expects that 98-99% of the fuel and oxidizer molecules will react with each other. This will then of course be converted into heat which in turn results in pressure. But the question how much of that pressure gets converted into thrust is a different point. Isp is the result of everything taken together: a) how complete is the combustion b) how much chemical energy is released from the reaction between the respective fuel and oxidizer c) how well is the pressure from the combustion chamber converted into thrust as the exhaust flows through the nozzle d) how light are the molecules of the combustion product ... and probably more plays a role That the combustion is 99% complete will not mean that 99% of the released chemical energy will be converted into thrust.
I second this. I remember Elon Musk, interviewed by Tim Dodd (Dott? How does he spell it?) the everyday astronaut and saying "If God came into the combustion chamber and pair CH4 molecules with O2, he'd only do 1% better than us..."
Noooo ! Definitely NO, don’t change anything about your channel. You’re unique and your channel is unique and by pure chance you’ve struck the perfect style. The vast number of your followers reflect this very fact. I’m sure there are many of your subscribers that immediately click on your next video the moment the notification pops up. Well I do! I follow you from way down on the east coast of South Africa from Brighton Beach, Durban, South Africa.. 😎
Never change, Scott! To me you are the most informative rocket engineering and astronomy channel, and I appreciate your thoughtful commentary and competent explanations. I hope you are selected for Dear Moon. I couldn't think of anyone more deserving. Edit: do you happen to have a playlist you would be willing to share?
Don't worry about your video production quality. I'm sure we can all agree that the amateur production style is what we have all come to know and love and it's very unique to you. TH-cam is about people sharing their own content regardless of their professionality. Don't ever change. Fly Safe!
Scott, your unique charisma is the sum of things like spontaneity, humor, style, science knowledge expressed as nowhere else on TH-cam. Just keep it like it it is. And thanks for all those wonderful minutes of flying safe with our minds guided by your words!
20:00 - Come on, Scott, you have crossed that threshold long ago. On those live streams of SpaceX tests and similar we hear over and over, when the host doesn't know an answer to a technical or historical question, "Just call Scott Manley!" And he would either laugh or make a sour face and mumble "Yes, Scott knows _everything_ "
when something big happens in the space world, I come to Scott for the analyses. he's passionate, knowledgeable, easy to listen to, and good at putting complicated ideas into simple words.
Scott, I love the videos just as they are. They are super interesting and your great at explaining things, and it’s nice just getting your take, with your experience and expertise. I’ve been watching for idk 4-5 years now and I love every video. Keep doing what your doing!!!
Scott, I love this channel for what it is and I encourage you to keep doing what you're doing. I wager the majority of your subscribers would say the same thing.
It's all about your approachability Scott. You tell us what you know and what you don't without any obfuscating varnish. You are knowledgeable without being pedantic, accurate, well informed and articulate without being intimidating. Clearly it is working. On other related channels whenever something blows up the first comments are "I can't wait to hear Scott Manley's take on this". Your passion and pleasure in communicating often complex technical issues to a lay audience are infectious and effective. You never talk down to folks who know less than you on any given subject, very much like Joe Scott. Keep up the good work and keep on being exactly who you are.
For the future: collabs! With Smarter every day, Physics Girl, Answers with Joe, Veritasium, Kyle Hill, it's okay to be smart, Every day astronomer, Space Gal, Dr Becky, Soph's notes, Vintage Space, etc. I loved your appearance on Ludicrous Future and the few ones on Fraser Cain.
@@johnladuke6475 The problem is Scott has a full time job, and a family. He doesn't have that much time off and likes to spend what he has for family vacations. Video call collabs are much more practical for him than actually traveling for a video.
@@danieljensen2626 When did I say any of them had to be in the same place? A collab doesn't even need a video call, lots of them are just matching videos inviting viewers to check out the other channel. I was just agreeing that SpaceTube doesn't seem to collaborate nearly as much as other subjects.
Your channel is amazing Scott, don’t change anything if you feel comfortable with this format. It’s always a delight to hear from you and the thing your viewers probably seek the most is your authenticity and great knowledge. Fly safe 😊
scott your raw authenticity is what makes your channel exceptional. we know your background and we know you're not reading from a script unlike some other youtubers (*cough**simonwhistler**cough**) so your knowledge is inherently more trustworthy and, imo, has a layman's charm that makes the esoteric knowledge you dispense a million times more digestible.
I like the last answer, the way it is now is perfect! You call your graphics scrappy/ugly, I call it basic and functional :) It gets the job done and thats the important part for graphics Also, taking time to ansewer properly is important Id say.
In terms of quality, I think this is far better than stuff that is "professional". You're probably the only person I'm subbed to that I watch the ENTIRETY of all videos, without skipping any bits
Please don't change the way you do your videos. Personally I love the way you find "different" topics that "classier" presenters wouldn't bother with, and then you explain those topics in clear and concise details in an interesting way that makes the science behind the topic easy to understand.
Its known to be 25 small engines combining to provide the delta-v of a single raptor divided by 6 (lower gravity), but also angled to loose about a third of the delta-v. Thus each is about 1% raptor thrust (~20 kN) and running on methalox. So either a new SpaceX engine, an old experimental engine that SpaceX set aside, or maybe some "small" methalox engines from another NASA supplier. Wikipedia suggests these would be "high-thrust methox RCS thrusters" on a list of SpaceX engines. Fitting a 20kN vacuum engine in about 1m of surface shouldn't be too difficult for an experienced rocket designer.
Oh god. You were my childhood. I don’t know if you get these commons very often but I really enjoy science and back in 2016 to 2017 I was really into kerbal space program you just came back into my recommended and all of these videos and memories are coming back to me you are a really good person keep up the great work and thank you for being a part of my childhood.
Your style of not having fancy graphics makes you explain things how you see them in your head and and that gives us a chance to understand your thoughts.. and if you do your 'job' very well you break it down far enough for the laymen to get you. That's your secret sauce and its Invaluable. Keep it up.
I honestly love what you'd call your "hobby'" videos. They're FAR from amateurish or ugly and always very well edited IMO. You really don't need more professionalism or fancy graphics I think. That's what people love about them. Shoutout to all those kinda science and education channels!! You, Cody's lab, ElectroBOOM, explosions and fire, Pecos Hank, Tom Scott, Crime pays but Botany doesn't, Periodic Videos, the slowmoguys and probably many many more. They're all awesome.
I'm from Argentina, and the launch of the saocom 1B was one of the best launches . Everything was visible , even the landing of the first stage more awsome than usual .

One of my favorite examples of the colloquial use of “efficiency” not being great is that fact that, when we’re talking in technical terms, resistive heaters are 100% efficient.
Dude... I love your channel lust as it is. I like your off-the-cuff production and scripting and really like these question and answer videos. Don't change, just keep doing it.
The device used to determine what a planet is made of is called a spectroscope. It's kind of like an advanced prism. When the light from a planet is isolated, it can be run through a spectroscope and produces a rainbow colored rectangle. When one examines this grid, very thin black lines can be seen spaced at certain intervals among the colors. These black lines correspond with different elements present in the light reflected from the atmosphere. -A 29 year middle grades science teacher, retired =)
Scott, sometimes we're cooking, sometimes we're cleaning. sometimes our minds are wandering as we go about our daily business. It's nice to have someone on the same wavelength just chewing the fat over hypotheticals or small details. It is appreciated.
Nicely done, sir. And thank you for being so honest. I think most of us watch because we knew that it was always be delivered with the utmost enthusiasm.

I think the 99% on the raptor came from “99% combustion efficiency” as in 99% of the propellant burning up inside the engine

Your style of not having fancy graphics makes you explain things how you see them in your head and and that gives us a chance to understand your thoughts.. and if you do your 'job' very well you break it down far enough for the laymen to get you.
That's your secret sauce and its Invaluable.
Keep it up.
Get with a producer/music supervisor/editor and make a one off video titled "What Scott Manley will look like after he sells out."
I like the Q&A format
The reason I love (and watch) your videos is because the one thing driving them is your passion!
Keep it weird and scrappy!!!! Me and my 4 boys love your content, you and your peers have reignited my love of science and space. THANK YOU
My question is so far away haha Gonna be a while ! Love the time that you are taking to answer all the questions !
Don't change your channel Scott. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Too many otherwise good channels are ruined by loud, discordant music!
I honestly love what you'd call your "hobby'" videos. They're FAR from amateurish or ugly and always very well edited IMO. You really don't need more professionalism or fancy graphics I think. That's what people love about them. Shoutout to all those kinda science and education channels!! You, Cody's lab, ElectroBOOM, explosions and fire, Pecos Hank, Tom Scott, Crime pays but Botany doesn't, Periodic Videos, the slowmoguys and probably many many more. They're all awesome.
Great and very refreshing episode. Thank you very munch for ALL of your great content. Your channel is a real gem!
BTW....What IS your favorite book?
... and one further question:
“Underwear: Boxers? Or Briefs?” 😉
i really want to know the story behind "DJSnM", but i dont have the money for patreon =(
He used to DJ as a hobby, and S.M. is Scott Manley. Not sure about the n, possibly a joke.
@@danieljensen2626 yeah, I was wondering if it was a deliberate reference to BDSM
This is my favorite channel. I thoroughly enjoy the presentation and knowledge. Thanms
Thank you, Scott - it's always appreciated.
I hope this channel never changes. Always superb!
Scott - don't change a thing. You're very authentic in these videos, something that is lacking from most TH-camrs. Stay authentic. Thanks!!
I'm from Argentina, and the launch of the saocom 1B was one of the best launches . Everything was visible , even the landing of the first stage more awsome than usual .
That beauty of your channel id that we feel like we're sitting in your office with you, just shooting the S#'+. Thanks for your channel. It's the first one I look for each week!
We love you and your format just the way it is, keep it up Scott.
Dear Scott: please just keep doing what you're doing. Your approach and method is perfect!
i will watch whether you do fancy videos or ones like this. i learn so many tid bits. i am just grateful that you make them. thank you
Keep doing what you are doing Scott. I, for one, love it.
This content is amazing Scott! Please do more of this questions from your Patreons!
THANK YOU!
This channel is fantastic.
Rock on, Scott!
Love what you do and I don't mind a longer video, especially the Questions... fun to hear you talk about what you love... GO.
One of my favorite examples of the colloquial use of “efficiency” not being great is that fact that, when we’re talking in technical terms, resistive heaters are 100% efficient.
Dude... I love your channel lust as it is. I like your off-the-cuff production and scripting and really like these question and answer videos. Don't change, just keep doing it.
The device used to determine what a planet is made of is called a spectroscope. It's kind of like an advanced prism. When the light from a planet is isolated, it can be run through a spectroscope and produces a rainbow colored rectangle. When one examines this grid, very thin black lines can be seen spaced at certain intervals among the colors. These black lines correspond with different elements present in the light reflected from the atmosphere. -A 29 year middle grades science teacher, retired =)
Scott, sometimes we're cooking, sometimes we're cleaning. sometimes our minds are wandering as we go about our daily business. It's nice to have someone on the same wavelength just chewing the fat over hypotheticals or small details. It is appreciated.
Nicely done, sir. And thank you for being so honest. I think most of us watch because we knew that it was always be delivered with the utmost enthusiasm.
