Thanks for the invite yet again, and for the chat Fraser and Scott. It has been extremely exciting watching this mission play out.
-
This trio really makes for the best launch system coverage on planet earth. Frasier asks the best questions. Scott has the most refined presentation of technical expertise. Marcus knows the history of the project better than anyone. If you only have time for one video about any launch, and you see this trio on the thumbnail, then that's the one to watch.

“The second kind of radio blackout” “ when your antennas are turned to plasma” 😂
-
I have been desperate to find another space ship news outlet. You bring in the only two space junkies I trust and that makes you the 3rd. Good luck new friend, I hope we have a bright future!
-
Thanks for the collab...Three minds - single focus.
-
This is the best cross-over episode yet! Three of my most trusted and favorite youtubers all together! :)
-
Marcus and Scott are the two best to listen to as far as space talk
-
This collaboration has become a highlight from each test flight. Love the ideas bounced back and forth. Thanks guys.
-
Three of my favorite reporters on YouTube. Keep up the amazing work gentlemen.
-
I've been looking forward to this, thanks Frasier, Scott and Marcus.
-
What an amazing trio to discuss this exciting topic! I subscribe to all three but this 3-in-1 package is a gift! Thanks guys. 🙏❤️😊
-
Yes! The collaboration we all needed!!!
-
The 3 tenors of space! Love these recaps!
-
Pausing Scott at 1:03, new wallpaper. Btw these series with these two after every launch is excellency.

The shuttle generally had communication all through entry after the TDRS constellation was complete. When I started at JSC in the late 80's. I didn't understand this and asked my supervisor about it, because I thought there was always a blackout. I was told that because the antennas were on the top side of the shuttle had a clear view of TDRS, with no plasma in the way. Blackouts happened before because the plasma was in the way or the ground antrennas.
-
I absolutely LOVE this format. Three knowledgeable guys collaborating.
-
The dream team is back!
-
Excellent collaboration report. Thank you!
-
Two of the best to help us understand what went on. Thanks for bring them both on to share their insight.

Because it was a tumbling piece of debris from SECO to burn up. The RCS failed, the door failed, the Fuel transfer failed, the engines didnt relight (there was no fuel left, it all vented hence it tumbled and burned up) The mission was a failure.
