There's so much more to the Polaris Dawn mission than the headline first commercial spacewalk and this video summarises the mission briefing perfectly.
Ellie, you're one of the best at compiling all the pertinent information and presenting in a way which is easy to follow. You are very gifted at reporting a story with lots of information, and yet, not "information overload!" Great job again!!!
Wow, thank you! Not everyone has an hour and a half to listen to the presentation so I’m glad you liked my condensed version! In tv news I usually had less than 2 min to tell a story 😂
Probably one of the brightest, smartest and most diversely gifted spaceflight crews ever to fly on a mission! Also, one of the best looking crews ever to fly on one mission! I believe this flight has the potential to be iconic in spaceflight history. We'll see........
The Polaris Dawn mission will be an medical, as well as an Experimental, and adventure experience for the PD crew.. If all goes well, the difference between a IVA suit and an EVA, will be hooking up a life support backpack.
I do not think so , coz commercial companies seek only financial gain. USA moon program was consuming 6% of the whole country GDP per year. For comparison current NASA budget is 0.3% of GDP.
I wondered how they were going to test the spacesuits when the Dragon Capsule doesn't have an airlock - wow depressurizing the entire capsule for 2 hours - that's quite a thing!
Awesome video Ellie. Thank you for an excellent report. I'm very excited about this mission. One that will break records and make history. This brave crew will further mankind in our journey to infinity and beyond. Thank you SpaceX and the crew for this momentous gift 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for packing lots of interesting information into a short video; I'm really looking forward to the launch, and hoping for Monday as it would fly on my birthday! Great content 👍
Super hyped that this mission is going to be very successful. Big steps forward towards human space exploration. Its a pity the baton was dropped after Apollo missions fifty years ago. Where could we be now if human space exploration was prioritised back then. Go Polaris Dawn!!
Agreed. IMO, "Dawn III" gets changed to a Dragon mission and "Dawn IV" gets added as the first Starship mission with Astros. In LATE 2027. Starship will probably need a minimum of 100-200 flights before they'll be confident launching humans.
Just a perception and a good question, When the astronauts arrived on Starliner they were elated to be abord the ISS , this was not just for goofy show this was because their maneuver to get docked just saved their lives. Scary not Silly I really admire these astronauts for the risk taken. Yes they made it and now the Questions should be asked???
Sunni and Butch stranded on the ISS and Polaris Dawn, with four seats...flies 4 loads of ballast, when NASA should have arranged with Space-X to get PD to the ISS for a return flight. Yeah, a great accomplishment.
Eventually, we will need to launch just regular people, otherwise only the elite will get to Mars. How many PhD people will know how to get their hands dirty and pour concrete for housing? That's just one example of the myriad of jobs that "normal" people do every day to make it possible for these elites to fly now.
manned starship mission. may be closer than we think. that weird header tank and it's collar which attaches to isolated the nose cone looks like it has holes for hatches to an airlock leading to a outer hatch at the very tip of the starship.
First human starship flight better be SOON. They’re supposed to get us to the moon in 2-3 years 😂 Also I hope they send you or Tim from Everyday Astronaut. It’d get people excited about space!
From Europe. Would definitely be up for your nightime coverage. Only got u tube tho' so please please post live to UT if you possibly can. Polaris Dawn has a great air of adventure as well as constructive science. Those crew members must be hyper intelligent as well as very fit and technically competent. What a Mixture -makes one pretty envious 😅
These Polaris Dawn astronauts are living in this capsule for days. Please explain how they will sleep... strapped to their seats? What are they eating and how do they prepare it? There is a curtain for the "toilet". Will they use it? Or did they all give up privacy to be on this flight?
Crewed starship missions will be tough at first since it doesn't have a normal flight abort system. I wonder if they could launch starship first, then launch the crew on Dragon. Connect in LEO, then on to the Moon and beyond.
Over here at Blue Origin we also launch people to space you know. Some people call it a glorified space trampoline, but still. And don't you ever forget that.
Starship Smarship, nothing anything like it will ever transport living humans "to the stars". Something basically like it could become the prototype of the first man-made craft to enable travel between the planets. Though not designed to go beyond earth orbit the Crew Dragon capsule begins this process. Thanks SpaceX and the intrepid explorers of Polaris Dawn.

Ok
Excellent report. The way journalism used to be. The story is about the mission and crew, not the "talking head". You done good.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the recap
It’s a very good video, very informative. But is it “journalism”?
There's so much more to the Polaris Dawn mission than the headline first commercial spacewalk and this video summarises the mission briefing perfectly.
I agree, too much to fit into a youtube title :P
That is very true I've learned a lot more from Ellie than I have form others
Safe flight Jared, you are one of the jewels of humanity that earth cannot afford to lose.
Please be careful.
Amen to that
Thank you , Ellie! You are my favorite go to channel to keep up to date on SpaceX and all thing space. I appreciate your hard work.
Wow, thank you! That means a lot!

I'm old enough to remember the Gemini missions--this has the same excitment--really cool.
Great job Ellie :)
Thanks, Ellie, for bringing this story to TH-cam. Not everyone's on X. And yes, I'm hoping to watch it live!

That would be convenient
Meanwhile, Boeing is trying to find a way to keep their plane doors from falling off and get astronauts back home.
Awkward turtle
If it's Boeing, you ain't going....
Anywhere, lol
@@bbeen40 - If it's Boeing am not going.
Boeing/ULA is such an embarrassment to rocketry.
Old Benny Hill joke: Name Boeing sounds like the noise made when falling door hits pavement: Boing! Not the best name for an aircraft company.
I think it's cool SpaceX people actually get to go on the thing they built.
I enjoy your little news updates, Ellie. Especially when you bring your sense of humor into it. 😊
This promo for Marvel's the Incredible Four is out of this world.
Im so excited/nervous for Polaris Dawn. Im old and am praying I get to see a return to the moon before i go there🥰thanks Ellie!!
I wish I was witnessing this crew going to Mars. They are the right stuff.
Real heroes in many ways. Putting their BODIES where their "MOUTHS" (engineering)...
Making designers use their equipment is a good idea, (aka eating their own dogfood). It helps ensure QA, especially if failure can be lethal.
Ha ha eating their own dog food.
Ellie, You knocked it outta the park again!
SpaceX is going to send astronauts to Mars. With or without help from NASA.
I do not think so , coz commercial companies seek only financial gain. USA moon program was consuming 6% of the whole country GDP per year.
For comparison current NASA budget is 0.3% of GDP.
NASA can’t even retrieve there people from orbit nasa will never achieve anything else they are finished the woke mind virus has destroyed nasa
11:58 interest intensifies.
A great reporter--such as Elle--lets the speakers SPEAK.
Thanks E. much appreciated.
excited for this one
5:38 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time: perfect!
good update and information about the mission.
I wondered how they were going to test the spacesuits when the Dragon Capsule doesn't have an airlock - wow depressurizing the entire capsule for 2 hours - that's quite a thing!
The suites have been tested in a vacuum chamber. 'That' test would have bothered me, going to space after that test is no big deal.
Awesome Report Ellie. Enjoyed it a lot 😊
100 % oxygen 🔥
necessary, ofc, to keep the pressure as low as possible.
Yeah, it’s not a problem at low pressure like the noobs haters keep repeating.
So static in the hair won't ignite? Good to know.
@@Three_Random_Words
A fact of which they are well aware
I am so excited for this launch! Thank you for the great coverage!
100% oxygen into the space suits? Guess some lessons need to be learned more then once.
What a fantastic idea. Sending engineers up to test their designs in situ. That's some serious motivation to get it right lol.
yes cool Mechazillas
I got it 😂
Great coverage thanks!
Crew Starship? Three years after first cargo mission. Hopefully by the end of 2027.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
If those new Suits work out your going to have to change your logo.. LOL
Awesome video Ellie. Thank you for an excellent report. I'm very excited about this mission. One that will break records and make history. This brave crew will further mankind in our journey to infinity and beyond. Thank you SpaceX and the crew for this momentous gift 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all the hard work in making these excellent videos.
Going to watch the launch!

This is so inspiring for all mankind! Go crew, Go SpaceX, Go Elon Musk…!
Amazing, God'speed Polaris..onwards and upwards. I look forward to watching Polaris launch as it heads into space... hopefully on your channel, Ellie.
Jared is amazing, he's Captain Kirk.
He's really a great SpaceX spokesperson
@@ellieinspace if only he didn't have such a meagre experience such as combat pilot :) billionaire :) etc.
What a truly amazing person!
did I mention astronaut ?
@@ianPedlar Minor detail, earned wings are earned wings. Once you solo, no one can take that rush from you.
I have my alarm set so I will be up and alert for this launch.
Awesome video Ellie. I love it. Thank you so much. You are awesome for space news coverage.
Thank you so much! I try!
Congratulations Ellie and your production team. This was a very professional, informative video. Keep up the good work.
It’s just me ,myself ,and I :-)

Wow Ellie, your reporting is fantastic on this. Very professional. Thank you for this very informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would say 2026 or early 2027 for a crew starship mission
my guess as well. So much to do. So many coming fights with Gov. and ULA. It will happen!
Agreed. IMO, "Dawn III" gets changed to a Dragon mission and "Dawn IV" gets added as the first Starship mission with Astros. In LATE 2027.
Starship will probably need a minimum of 100-200 flights before they'll be confident launching humans.
Launching humans is easy. Hundreds of prior safe *_landings_* before crew.

Thanks Ellie, great show and nice production.
Great channel. Keep putting out this kind of content and you will soon have to plan a 200k subscribers special.
God bless and protect them and give peace to all family members until they are safely back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️🕊️🕊️
Wow at 12:04 is the greatest T-shirt model I have EVER seen in my life
You do great vids, Ellie. Your enthusiasm really comes through.
Glad you like them! I appreciate you watching!
Great time for Australians. 3am ET = 5pm AEST. Even better for New Zealanders, it'll be 7pm for them.
12 minutes is a sweet spot. So much easier to commit to. Also appreciate the time you take on your beautiful blond locks.
You deserve a sub, this is great research from your part, very detailed🫡

Yeah, a great accomplishment.
Wish Polaris II was headed to Hubble to install new gyroscopes and other upgrades to keep it up there. It would be a cool mission.
Wow NASA has lost a lot of engineers to spaceX young and old
I've seen the same thing happen at a bankrupt railroad. The smart ones who can, flee; the unsure/uncaring/unknowing/unwilling stay to the end.
We need to throw Ellie into a space suit and add her to the mission.
Well. Why not?
Live reporting.😊

2026 will probably be the year the first starship crewed flight will launch.
Maybe, I think it will be after 10 successful uncrewed flights of Starship including landings.
A lot longer than that ! It still hasnt landed safely - only one of the test ships landed without exploding (on fire though - for an hour)
Crewed starship will take a while. Particularly with the propulsive landing.
@@royh6526My guess was 100-ish successful landings. Sounds imposing, but if they can achieve fairly rapid reusability it could be done in 2026.
@@737smartinyou do realise it takes SpaceX three months to repair the launchpad after every launch!!
Polaris Dawn sounds like a SciFi generation ship project, but im excited for it!
I’m seeing it on site! My first launch!
Nice work Elle. Keep going.
Love You Ellie!
I find this very exciting!!!
Elon Musk is a visionary

My classes start on the 26th but I’m still watching!!!!!
These people are true to life superheroes!
I'm so excited for this..😊
Great video Ellie! 🙌🌎🚀✨💫🪐
Thank you!!
1,400km (~870 miles) is still well within Low Earth Orbit. Looking forward to deep space flights in my lifetime.
I lived this . Thank you .
I loved this .
So Cool!! 😎🚀
I ordered a teeshirt!! 🚀
Awesome! Thank you!
From Europe.
Would definitely be up for your nightime coverage. Only got u tube tho' so please please post live to UT if you possibly can.
Polaris Dawn has a great air of adventure as well as constructive science. Those crew members must be hyper intelligent as well as very fit and technically competent. What a Mixture -makes one pretty envious 😅
Thanks for this interesting video
Will be watching! From Germany so I can sleep in!😇
Every SpaceX woman is smart and _hot_ . SpaceX is unstoppable.
These Polaris Dawn astronauts are living in this capsule for days. Please explain how they will sleep... strapped to their seats? What are they eating and how do they prepare it? There is a curtain for the "toilet". Will they use it? Or did they all give up privacy to be on this flight?
Very cool
Good Luck!
To use an engineering term WAG I'm guessing first human starship use 2030
Flight-experienced astronaut trainers are the real deal! Just like flight-proven boosters!
Two young men + two good looking women, in space for 5 days.
No matter how professional they are, someone is going to think about it.
Maybe it's apart of the testing 😏
@@mwt5040 Sooner or later
Will be watching
This is so exciting!
The first crewed starship flight will happen in 6 years, 2030.

Only if one considers sub-orbital as 'space'.
