that assumes spaceX gets/keeps the job. which depends entirely on Elon and Trump's relationship. If they split Trump will turn to other rich people who will throw money his way. and Boeing will be willing to throw trump some donations in order to get back on the .gov gravy train and never have to deliver.

Nobody else is even close to being as far along as SpacEx. Not. remotely.

I much prefer Everday Astronaut or NASASpaceflight on YouTube so you can watch on TV. Tim on Everday Astronaut streams in 4K.

I have always been a NASASpaceflight fan; but the constant banter and giggling laughter are starting sound more like a frat party than mission commentary. I would turn the sound down but then I fear missing the occasional useful technical detail.

Scott Manley was on there a couple of days ago. If they had him more during launches it would be awesome.

He is very knowledgeable. The main thing I would like from all of the streams is simply less talking, especially while the bird is in the air. The focus is on the ship, the telemetry, and the callouts outs. There isn’t some rule that someone has to be chattering every single second.

That's actually one of my problems with the main SpaceX feed.

Yup. SpaceX used to offer two streams; the normal one as well as a „technical broadcast“ that just had the engineering and the callouts. Then they did away with that and we were stuck with vapid commentary like „stage separation is where the first stage separates from the second stage“ 🙄
John Insprucker however, was the PERFECT commentator. A true steely eyed missle man and not the polished PR trained spokesperson äs they have now.

I suggest one watch this to see how difficult it will be compared to Apollo..about impossible, and getting to Mars seems like fantasy.
