This Week @ NASA (<3 min video) features the upcoming SpaceX Crew-1 mission (NET late October) commanded by astronaut Col. Mike Hopkins, younger brother of one of my undergrad frat brothers back in MO. Small Earth.
While you’re on YouTube, also check out the NASA TV stream, if you don’t already watch it through other sources. My cousin Sean points out that for such a cool space agency exploring the universe, NASA’s TV channel is sometimes surprisingly…well…underwhelming. I can’t argue that it definitely could use better production values at times (NASA is high profile but low budget with only about 0.5% of federal funds), and can be repetitive if you watch it long enough, but it often offers very cool video for space buffs and the general public. Plus, I like to open the NASA app on my Apple TV (also available for iOS and Android) and have views of Earth from the Space Station playing as a serene, beautiful backdrop, and a reminder that astronauts from around the globe have been living together in orbit continuously for 20 years this November, and as you’re reading this. Give it a try.
