Space is hard, it is okay to explode, especially SpaceX.
-
omg, i just realized that just last year we didn't know how pluto surface look like
-
They did eventually figure out the Falcon 9 problem. A liquid helium tank in the second stage oxygen tank that was supposed to provide filler gas broke loose and started venting into the liquid oxygen tank. Since the O2 tank wasn't designed to hold the combined pressure of the helium AND oxygen... Well, kaboom.

Rewatches the intro 3 times "On Sunday, June 28th"
On my birthday, things exploded. Amazing. -

Is it true that air has oxygen?
-
europa eris titan ceres, what is this all about??????????????

It wasn't a Soyuz capsule, it was a Progress capsule on top a Soyuz rocket. Oh and Soyuz is actually pronounced Sah-yooz not Soh-yoz. Get yer Russian space technology right! Come on! you guys are Sci-show! you can do better!

Mr Green needs to diet and do some cardio.Skinny fat is really unhealthy
-
You call this spaceflight? I call it a joke. I start to call this spaceflight when i can get into my spaceship and take a trip to the moon all by myself without the need of a groundcrew of 300 people.
-
Haha rubber ducky. That was funny.
-
If it exploded, was there any passengers? and why is Spaceflight or launching to space now becoming risky
-
How do we communicate with new horizons and how long does it take for the data to transmit?
-
Russia seems to be able to send rockets up just fine maybe ask them for some help
-
I love how this channel loves to say that space flight is hard but never bothered to report ISRO getting an orbiter successfully around Mars on it's 1st try
-
Religion isn't hard.

It's pronounced Share-on not Kair-en.
