Hey I just wanted to send a quick note for all of you out there. We've been working hard on preparing for Artemis 1 livestream and other big livestreams coming up this year (Starship, potentially Firefly, Wallops/Electron, Vulcan, Relativity Terran-1), and it's taken up every spare second and penny to prepare the van.   

I'm making a big investment to make sure we are providing the best coverage we can for these big milestones. These are the biggest moments in spaceflight history since I've been covering rocket launches (shot my first launch in 2014). I'm really sad there's been almost no activity on the channel at all in the last few months, but I know it's best to get ahead of this upcoming whirlwind as much as possible so we can not only "survive" the stressful times, but actually ENJOY it, share it, and take it in the moment.  

So I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all of you who support this channel. I think I've spent more on cables and converters in the last few months than a new car and this kind of investment is literally only possible because of you. So I wanted to share my appreciation, and as I sit beside myself realizing how fortunate I am to be able to build something like this van and do all these cool things, I wanted to make sure I said a sincere thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to those of you who allow it to be possible!  

Wish me luck as I'm on a rollercoaster of stress right now, but I'm so excited and things are actually coming together. I'm doing my best to not let you down and do something awesome to capture some incredible spaceflight history!!!   Love you all!!! - Tim

Go Tim (and the team of course)! Go Artemis! 🎉🎉🎉 Someone above said “about the best return on investment for my entertainment dollar that I get”. I cannot agree more. Where else can I get _in-depth interviews_ with Elon Musk, Tom Markusic, and Jim Bridenstine to name a few? It’s the kind of thing money itself can’t buy, it’s “priceless”!

I've just read your powerful message, my friend, and let me tell you from Chile, I've always admired the quality of what you do. I don't mind if you are not on the air for a while for I know that if so, it must be because you're preparing something big! Your interviews, your classes (for they are real academic classes about the functioning of a rocket engine, etc.) are genial. You're quite clear and you make efforts to lay everything neat on the screen. Furthermore you keep due respect for the earlier generations that preceded yours in the conquest of the heavens, and that, my friend, is something my generation apreciates very much! One of my first memories was seeing one of the first Vostoks passing by over our heads from my home yard in Santiago, back in 1962 - 63. Then, the visit of an itinerant exhibition of the Mercury Project in Santiago about 1964 invited by my own dad, who was always very interested in aerospace technology and knew to inherit it to me. There I knew on my own (at my very young 5 years of age) one of the real Mercury capsules and one of the real Mercury spacesuits; guess the one used by Mr. John Glenn. So, I have the space race on my blood.

Don't worry, for Artemis 1, I'll be connected to your net and jumping among WAI, Nasa Spaceflight and you, of course! That's something I wouldn't miss ever!

By the way, we all love you too. And I think (at least I, myself) we admire your hard work. I believe it's the best used money ever, considering your efforts do help me to be closer to the things I love from my childhood and that link my soul to my beloved ones and my happiest times!

And a big thank you Tim, Your well informed 'Lectures' on all things SpaceX are a great help in understanding what is going on at Starbase. I found your tours around the site with his highness Elon most informative, so brilliant to have the Great man chatting happily with you (us) and giving so much info direct from the horse's mouth! Looking forward to seeing Artemis and Starship launching to the Moon as soon as possible. It'll be great to see people up there trying the green cheese again after all these years !'m 74 so I well remember Neil and Buzz landing on 20th of July 1969, I'm in England, and was staying with my brother at the time and was up all night with mouth wide open watching! I'm even doing the same now when things are happening at Boca Chica. By the way, if you see Mary and Nic, and all the other guys, please thank them for the excellent coverage! Cheers matey! ~R

Building a van? I'm an automotive electronics engineer, happy to lend expertise if your team needs it, Tim. I worked on early Google Street View cars, prototype Hondas; if you're connecting crazy cameras and electronics to a car, I'm all about it. Good luck!

Godspeed Tim! Sounds like you are launching a vehicle of your own, thankfully more terrestrial.

You are single handedly to thank for renewing my interest in space (and thousands of others like me I'm sure). I grew up extremely interested in all things space flight related but quickly found myself lacking a source of information a non engineer/genius could understand. I was so removed as an adult I had barely even heard of spacex and had no idea they were landing freaking boosters already!!! I found your channel, which lead to others, and now check space flight updates more than weather updates. You know what your are doing. We know you know what you are doing. And we are here to support you all the way. The content you give the world is invaluable. And it has nothing to do with the quantity each month. Thank you Tim.
