No Elysia! 😭 Well you could at least have worn some funky earrings Jack. 😊
OMG its really real now. the genuine Space Age has started . There are so many people now working to get all this happening. And its not just 'we can do it' but 'we ARE doing it' so excited to watch it all happen. Thanks NSF for being such a clear window into the future
No one should take joy in the privatization of Space. You're just begging for late-stage capitalism, but in Space.
Stop voting for privatization and start re-nationalizing things like our HELIUM PRODUCTION THAT IS ABOUT TO BE SOLD OFF.
Huge Jack fan! Thanks for the update!
You spelled Hugh Jackman wrong. :)
Thanks for all your dedication to spaceflight news. Cheers!
Great report NSF. That Nova landing is the one of the most Kerbal things I've seen recently!
Yay, it's Jack! Happy Friday duder. I hope the whole NSF team has a great weekend!
jack beyer! we love you, please do more things
... do all the things!
@@CraftsmanGreen he can lead spacex too
Let's go India!
Love from India! Also anybody else here from India? Trying to find people with similar interests hit me up!
here from delhi
Any suggestions for discord or forum for Indian space geeks
Terrific to see the Indian vyomanauts (their term for space travelers). I had not known they had signed the Artemis Accords or were planning to send one of their people to the ISS. Will their participation be limited to Axiom missions or is there any chance an Indian could be assigned to a regular crew rotation? Anyway, I have followed Indian space development wit great satisfaction and excitement and am very much looking forward to Gaganyaan. When it comes to spaceflight, especially manned spaceflight, my attitude is, the more the merrier.
There is no way that any Artemis IX mission can launch on an SLS before 2035, and probably not even then, I expect that, by that time, Starship will be entirely capable of making routine runs to the Moon once a month or more. Not even the most hardheaded senator or congressman will be able to keep their SLS jobs program in being by that point.
Go Firefly! Of course, most of the private space companies will, ultimately, fail but, as I said above, the more the merrier. Firefly looks like they have a pretty good chance of making it, especially with their contract with Grumman for the Antares 300 (take that, Russia). I did not know they were providing the entire first stage, I thought it was just the engines.
Good roundup of current activities. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for doing the "This Week in Spaceflight" Jack. We appreciate NSF team covering for each other so we don't miss a thing.
Thanks Jack and the NSF team. There is so much going on!
The jumper suits of Indian astronauts have really cool design, excited for Gaganyaan
They are called Vyomanauts!
The design is called Gaganyaan-Style 😂
@@BlackHawkTejas yeah you are right
Thanks JackElesia! Kidding you did great filling in and I’m glad you didn’t use next week last week in space flight! ❤to👀
THANKS for the update Jack!
Can we get an entire video on the IM-1 landing?
Awesome update NSF Team!
thanks for all your hard work guys
Nice one Jack! Respect from Cape Town South Africa :)
Where your space program bro 🤜🤜🤜
Yay it's jack! About time!
All the best 👍
Thanks Jack
It's not Ganganyaan it's GAGANYAAN.
More uploads, more better. :)
Been waiting for this - and first!!!
Not GanganYaan… Gagan Yaan… sky vehicle
Huge upgrade with Jack this week!
Let’s go !!!
for the lander that tipped over.. could it be that being in larger contact with the moon soil provided it a bit of "warmth" during night period to keep system "warm enough" so it survived the night?
Like the launch projection information for the end of the year. Could you add year end projections for countries like China, India and the US, and even SpaceX separately?
I thought that you turned the light switch on before blast off........
Here from starbase live
Way to go SLIM!!!!!
I’m wondering what the safety factor is for the legs?
Almost launch time for starship!!!!!!
Jack, it would have been funny if you were wearing appropriate ear rings like Elysia does at the beginning of this update. lol Once again, you provided us with a ton of info and current and upcoming developments. Thanks Jack!
Thanks Jack and team NSF 👍!!! (We Miss Elysia though, She's easyer to look at😁🤓)
Crossing my arms tapping my foot, not smiling
Tall moon landers tipping over. I hope NASA and SpaceX are paying attention.
Nicely done and informative. However, the background music becomes very annoying
Hi!
Great report, folks. The absence of a beard might have mellowed you, Jack, but you’re doing great! - Dave Huntsman
Brilliant Jack.
I cant listen to Elysia, and it the episode is shutdown after 2 seconds. But your presentation is awesome as always.
This Kilt In Spaceflight
I am wondering what happened to the technician who forgot to turn the switch on in the Moon lander? Is he or she still working for the company?
It is NOT the Tech that is at fault, but the whole team and faulty processes.
There should be a checklist and several people checking the safety pin was removed.
Who took the picture of the lander
Indian Astronauts are called "Vyomanauts"
Bash kr bhai confuse mat kr
At this point, I feel like lunar probes should take a lesson from battlebots and not do anything with out some kind of self righting mechanism, haha
I guess it isn't "this week" in spaceflight since the intro text clearly says January 1st, 2023 :)
That might be the cause of the scheduling conflict!
Woops
The word, and reality of "expendable," has to go when it comes to Aerospace.
We have images/data from Venus back when the Russians landed and a rover on Mars doing the same. The moon is pretty meh. There's also the rover in development for Titan or some other distant moon.
So many software issues with these spacecraft. That and the ground problem where they forgot to remove the safety pin. Overall, the designs are good... it sounds like a bit of organizational checks and perhaps testing. That said... first lander for this company, so pretty dang spiffy.
Maybe someone should make a lander to upright all these tipping over experiments 😀🇦🇺
If Thats Merlot Im Leaving
thank you . ( 2024 / Mar / 17 )
Why are all this moon landing rover's landing messed up ??? what is going on ???
They're trying to do it cheaply. There's a learning curve too, with organizations that haven't done it before, or at least lately. Check out the Ranger program sometime.
I'm assuming that the majority of the... 5,919 - (392 + 4,782) = 745 Starlink satellites in orbit that are currently non-operational are just waiting for their "blaze of glory". Can someone explain why there are so many non-operational Starlinks in orbit? Were some of these operational at one time and, for whatever reason (outdated, bad solar panel, ran out of fuel), no longer function? I'd love to know how many were failures from the moment they were deployed to get an idea of failure rate.
They are moving into their operational orbit, they aren't failed satellites. The satellites don't just happen to move immediately into that operational orbit as soon as they launch, they take time.
It says week of January 1st 2023 0:38
An engineer didn't pull a pin during ground handling of this video and therefore it is stuck in the past /s
Joking, hehe, my bad! It's my job to check on things like this and it comoletely flew past me, I didn't notice it had the wrong date. I really need a checklist...😅
Odysseus needed a Manually Controlled Landing
Are they opening a 7-11 on the ISS?
You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on your OnlyFans account.
How fired is the engineer who neglected to unlock the lasers’ safety switch before launch?
And this, people, is why we have checklists!
Maybe the checklist failed to have this step
This is from "the week of January 1st 2023"? Wow, I thought this news was recent 😅
What no earrings Jack?! You’ve let us all down, you’ve let NSF down but most of all, you’ve let yourself down. #weloveElysiasearringsandspacenewstoo
India 🇮🇳 The New Space Power❤
That profile pic 😉
The Indian -Astronauts- Vyomanauts got a cool drip.
how in the hell do you miss turning on a switch. lol
What shirt are you wearing?
It's KAL007 all over again. How many tragedies like this until the military lets us use full-resolution lunar GPS?
Lunar GPS? TF is that?
6000 satellites is insane
can someone school me why they use cameras with the fish eye effect?
So at least 5 spy sats went up.
Not as pretty as Elysia but hey, you did a good job Jack.
Rly?
Odyssey is like a bad football player, but with a big brain.
I think the US just needs to take risks like Apollo, and put the "Ft. Knox," SLS , with crew, back on our Moon. We did it 50 years ago, so we gotta stop wasting money on software, and soft hardware , and get back up there.
1:50 A switch not turned on?? Really, they are using switches in 2024 in these things. You’re telling me the navigation system wasn’t always on and controlled by software? Why would they need a hard switch and didn’t they do a preflight check list?
The navigation system uses lasers that fire for range finding. During ground handling this system has a physical safety switch so that engineers don't get zapped by the laser on their eyes while handling the lander. This switch was never set to "on" after all the ground preparations and therefore the lasers from that navigation system never fired.
@@ale131296 Are you saying those lasers where suppose to be on and lasering (lol) during launch? They turn systems/equipment on and off on voyager 1 & 2 remotely. A craft built 50+ years ago. You're telling me they can reprogram, upload, and repurpose equipment remotely, but they had to use a manual switch to power the lasers on/off? Plus, wasn't landing successfully probably the most important thing of this mission? They didn't do a pre-flight check, you know, where the computers tell them all system are go, have power, working, etc. say 15 times at least??
@@whatsay8406 No, the lasers aren't on all the time but in order to protect people on the ground while handling the lander, there's a physical safety switch and pin that needs to be removed to be able to fire the laser. The Voyagers (and ANY spacecraft for that matter) have THOUSANDS of "remove before flight" switches and pins and other pieces of hardware that are installed on them during handling either to protect the personnel handling the spacecraft, to protect the spacecraft itself, or both. Sometimes, in rare occassions, engineers miss removing one of these precisely because of how many there are usually on these spacecraft. They explained this in one of the conferences as well that pre flight checks never included a "test firing" of these lasers prior to launch nor there was even a plan for doing so on the way to the Moon. They only found out about this after they later changed the orbital trajectory around the Moon from the previous plan they had. This new orbit meant the lander was closer to the surface during the lowest point on its orbit than had been envisioned prior to launch so they went and fired the laser range finders to start gathering data before the landing occurred. When they went to do that, the lasers didn't fire and they had to do that software patch to enable the use of NASA's experimental laser navigation system.
Indeed, their systems ands processes are at fault. It is not down to one person or one team, it is a systematic failure.
You're not Alicia and it's also not the week of Jan 1st anymore, thankfully.
thank you Jack for the update even though you arent as pretty as the girl but like bacon so you are ok
I won't consider a crash landing a landing. Ridiculous. That is not a success.
Ok so where did your lander not break on the moon.
@@Wurtoz9643 Grow up, child.
@@RM-hr7ug says you
@@NAF275 Obviously.
Cras landing is NOT a success.
There are multiple space craft flying around this universe that have been operating for decades.
This was definitely a complete failure because none of the science projects can proceed most likely due to the crash landing.
Guaranteed SpaceX will land the ground station once it is ready.
The only company actually able to complete it's missions.
I applaud all of these companies for their efforts, but until they stop trying to be first and just take the time to do it right, then more companies will see success.
If China's CCP launches a satellite into geostationary orbit, can we tell over which portion of the world it is "stationary" over? Its final position might tell us something about the purpose of said satellite.
The landing gear was flimsy.
getting there was great….but I consider this moon mission a failure, falling on its face, and limited data retrieved. If NASA says it was a success, this leaves me with a pessimistic outlook, when they are still talking about a future manned mission. And doubts about the manned moon landings decades ago….
Won’t be long before he is shaving that beard off EVERY DAY 😂
2:10 . . . "Nearly, Completely, Blind." . . . Isn't like being "Mostly Pregnant" ?! 😅
"Test as you will Fly, and then, Fly as you Tested." - NASA mantra
From takeoff to f_ckoff, just like Ulysses in more ways than one. It is unfathomable that companies delivering hardware for traveling in space all the way to another celestial body, to this day are still seemingly unable to write cooperating software and test it to failure prior to the actual mission to avoid clusterf_cks alike.
Your channel is great all the same.

💛💛💛💛 Україні
Sorry, but failure to flip a switch before launch and then a software glitch is just pathetic. We have to do better. How the hell did we land men on the moon four times and return them safely, FIFTY YEARS AGO!
Apples and oranges
@@ale131296
Not at all.
Absolutely no excuse for the abject failures that happened. In fact, investors are considering law suits due to incompetence.
A significant number of people are not satisfied with the poor explanations for the failure.
Not a real sucess nasa down playing this so they used a vehicle not built by nasa ?
Yes. It was built by Intuitive Machines, a US company. It was built very cheaply. NASA vehicles are very expensive in comparison.
Indian space agency so behind LMAO they ain’t gonna launch next year they never gonna land on the moon with there 40 yo tech LOL
What made you say the non sense stuff that you just said
Bro, we are the ones who had succesfully landed near the south pole and we got the technology to land on south pole. Your statement is incorrect. You should correct yourself on your space knowledge.
.....while nasa proceeds to use 40 year old RS25s and SRBs for their new Space launch system.
I would like to add that US refused to give us cyrogenic technology, we had to become self reliant and make our own cyrogenic technology.
@@itsrocketscience9795Yes, NASA had been using old technology from 1980s.
India has missed a golden opportunity by (intentionally) limiting its astronaut selection process only to the Indian Air Force- which is to say, intentionally limiting it to men only. Sending the message that half of the Indian population should never consider themselves eligible for the Indian space program is not only ‘wrong’; it’s actually dumb on Indian’s part; and very, very backward looking. - Dave Huntsman
Women are allowed to work in the Indian air force, but apparently Indian women aren't very interested in a military career. Like everywhere on Earth. That has nothing to do with sexism. It's just women choosing low risk careers more often than men.
I request you to read whole comment, There are many reasons for why no women is nominated in Indian astronauts program:
> Men are physically more resilient and hence enrolls themselves in such kind of risky stuff while females doesn't.
> All branches of Indian military i.e. airforce, navy and army are open for women, and many women are already joining but still participation rate of women in such jobs are negligible when compared to men bcoz of mainly biological factors.
> India is not a sexist country, in fact India has the highest percentage of female pilots on the planet in commercial aviation industry, even more than any western country who thinks themself as flag bearer of liberalism 😂
> The human with highest merit and capability should be given opportunity irrespective of gender, you should not forcefully insert this pro women agenda in everything, it is infact bad for meritorious males.
Obviously if a woman is doing as good as a man or is doing even better than man than she should be given opportunity, no discrimination at all
And yeah don't label India as whatever you likes, instead do some basic googling before posting such comments.
@@user-rf8zp8nb8m Thumbs Down; you’re inaccurate. The comment about men being physically more adaptable to space essentially has been shown to be flat-out wrong. And I said by limiting to Indian Air Force PILOTS they automatically intended to exclude women. How many female Air Force pilots are there? Quite a few in the US, for example. Your ‘biological factors’ thing is bs. And what you call ‘forcing a pro-women agenda’ is very telling- about you; all I was saying is that if everything was on the up-and-up- and India wanted its best/brightest/most capable as astronauts- they would NOT limit Air Force pilots to only men; they would NOT limit astronaut selection to only THAT group of men alone; etc. It’s about equality- not special preference. And it’s also about what’s best for India, and Indians. You seem much more concerned with blindly defending what the current Indian government is doing- rather than discussing what it SHOULD be doing for India and Indians. It would seem that, between the two of us, the real ‘pro-India/Indians’ person, is me. - Dave Huntsman
@@cube2fox Yeah, they were making that rubbish argument 50-60 years ago🙄.
Kindly take your pathetic bias elsewhere. India did NOT limit the selection procedure by gender.
1.) Indian Air Force does have women fighter pilots. Which is a recent phenomena.
2.) Indian Air Force does not have any women test pilots. Yet. But in time, there will be, there is no doubt about that.
3.) The Gaganyaan mission is India's first human spaceflight mission. So India did not take any chances and limited the selection to Air Force Test pilots only. As the Indian human spaceflight program matures, it will be progressively relaxed to accept all Air Force fighter pilots. And then other professionals eventually. Gender never entered the selection criteria even once.
4.) Modi had in his 2018 announcement of the Gaganyaan mission explicitly stated that an Indian son or daughter will be the first one up. In fact, the government of India wanted a woman to be there on the first Gaganyaan mission. Yet, the prudence of using only test pilots forced this situation.
5.) Indian laws are extremely women-centric. We don't need certificates from foreigners on this.
looks like India could use a good dose of western DEI
Oh no India is sending men to make a call center on the moon!😂. Jokes aside its awesome too see other countries finally sending people into space since NASA seems stale these days.
9:45 Was surprised when you said "Class of Astronauts". India has a caste system so you made it sound like they would only allow candidates from a certain level of society.
Maybe it would be better to say graduate astronauts, batch of astronauts or some other term.
People who fixate and deliberately conflate anything Indian with "caste system" basically advertise boldly that they don't know _anything_ about India other than the usual Western propaganda.
No. India not have caste system. I know my country better than you 😂😂😂. Massive gun violence happening in USA every day.police crime high level in your country. But your government make human rights issues on other countries see in your country then lecturing others😂😂😂. Other wise you are hypocrite kid 😂😂😂 and your government take high dose of cheap drugs 😂😂. Your country not allowed black and native in vote participation in USA after USA independent. America buy alaska but not giving right to native Alaska people after buy from Russia.
LoL! Stop this NS about caste! This is more blown out of the window in the west than in India.
People in India are moving ahead of this maybe you guys do the same & abolish your caste system!
I hate this non sense stuff that you guys keeps posting about India, the worst part is that it is baseless. Try to digest the progress which is happening from India's side in space sector. I can also write such nonsense and out of context things about your country as well, so sit down
@@krishanverma8883 Don't be a fool.
1st - I am NOT American.
2nd - Every country in the world (EVERY COUNTRY) has a dark past and only people from that country get upset when it is talked about.
Just like you, we are trying to move on from our dark history, but we still have to face up to what happened. Don't be like the English, who think their empire was great, when it hurt many millions of people.
I love your coverage Jack by why do you always seem so tired? Or are the other hosts just super energetic?
They are 15ish+ years younger. Plus, him being a busy guy probably plays into it. I just turned 39 myself and can confirm that it does indeed catch up with you as you get older.
The person in charge of final checks is definitely getting fired. Lol😮😮😮
