Go Firefly, haven't seen the "tapp-off" combustion cycle description?
I wish SOFIA was updated/refunded. I know it was expensive and we have the JW now, but infrared telescopes are really important for finding astroids, and its a beautiful instrument.
Capstone is amazing! Rectilinear Lunar Halo from a microwave, and recovery from a stuck transfer engine valve, amazing, go team!
32 min instead of 72 sec., what happened?! Massive errors in mass of asteroid or massive underestimating of ability to transfer energy (science being about ability to accurately predict future events).
Those artemis shots are off the charts!
Sometimes I leave a comment just for the algorithm… this is one such comment.
Great stuff Tim! Looking forward to following along with your space flight training.
Go Timmy, go!
As an Icelandic space fan the death of Bjarna Tryggvason was aspecialy sad for me
So 2023 will be the year of Starship? It just stacked
That was fun, thanks again.
Nice, i didn't get selected for dear Moon mission, glad you did, of course.
I Hope to manage doing the Mars one. Rock'n'roll !
No mention of stoke space and their brand new 2 stage fully reusable rocket?
Really appreciate that you've included our Polish cosmonaut 🥺
SpaceX launched, on average, one rocket every 6 days. No other launch provider even comes close.
Thank you so much for inspiring us with your amazing videos, Tim ❤
So excited to see a Canadian go to the moon on Artemis 2!! Congrats on the dear moon announcement Tim! You’ve inspired me and I wanted to say thank you for all that you do!
Awesome list! Here’s to 2023!
I'm getting tired of the acronyms. Just name them what they are supposed to do and quit trying to be cute. DART would have been better named Asteroid Smasher or some such.
Dart was by far the coolest space event of the year imo
I think it was artemis. so majestic
About Boeing's OFT-2 … "Exactly as planned" and "successful" … yeah, about that. Exactly as planned, except for the two thrusters that failed in-flight, and the other two RCS thrusters that also failed, but they later managed to bring them back. Specially worrying after their previous thruster issues managed to suspend their previous attempt at an OFT-2 twice.
But I guess we're supposed to pretend that didn't happen, just like we're supposed to pretend SLS was a success, even though they had to hammer the thing until the very last second to get it to launch.
Im coming back in 2024 to say hi.
If we have not met our goals towards getting to Mars, I will be very disappointed. LETS GO TO MARS!!!!!
2022. This is so cool. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
Absolutely fantastic recap of 2022.
I've been very fortunate to have followed the US Space Program from it's beginning and especially all the Moon landings. I really hoping that I'll still be here to witness mankind's return to the Moon.
Knowing you, I’m sure it was an “Elon (giggle, giggle) talked to me moment.” To anyone else it’s either the successful deployment of JWST, or DART.
Hubble images next to JWST serves to remind us just how good Hubble still is!
you forgot Firefly Alpha! And you covered that!
Starship S24/B7 was stacked again today! What will the next test be? Fully loaded cryo test? 33 Raptor v2 static fire? …..
40 Kelvin (-233 C) is below the triple point of oxygen and would freeze it.
Fantastic wrap Tim.
Great to see your development, and all the best for your Everyday Astronaut training. I'm sure you'll give us all a great inside view.
For me the JWST was the biggest positive.
The biggest negative was a certain Musk putting the future of SpaceX at risk.
Well done, again, for the positive report.
Nice show, Tim. Congratulations
How about that Boeing Starliner?
Thank you Tim for all that you have done for us. Can't wait for more spaceflight events this year
Well done. I was fortunate to see the first moon landing, got to play with some aerospace stuff, and still get a thrill from it all. Can't see as sharply as when I was a boy, but still keep looking up in awe. Always smile and stop to appreciate the moon and the visible planets, feels funny to have been gawking at them for almost 60 years.
Why?….Because I’m biased and it’s my show. There is no viable argument to that reasoning
"Whatever made me happy"
If that was the only criteria, the #1 spot would go to Tim Dodd being selected to go to the moon.
Hey Tim there is a new company that pretty much no one has heard of could you live stream there prototype launch. I will leave a link a week before the launch I would love to that love stream. Thanks
Nice video, excellent recap.
I agree JWST is major, as it throws the big bang theory out the window.
Best luck with Dear Moon, and don't forget to make a video on your experience 🙂
something must be wrong with YoutUbe's view counts, because this has way fewer views than I was expecting.
