THANK YOU!!! (Update)

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

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.

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

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!

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

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!

P
PAUL BINET-BARBÉ · August 17, 2022

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!

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.

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”!

Pim Blokker · August 17, 2022

Thanks Tim (and team). Keep up the great work. The SN coverages were great and I can't wait to see what's coming up next. Artemis, Starship will be awesome. These are exciting times, and we (the enthusiasts community) are follwing that at first hand with great images & coverages. Keepup the good work.

Speaking of supporting the channel, I just thought I'd mention the T-shirts work! I was at the store a short while ago and a guy said "is that a rocket engine?" "Yes! It's the F-1 engine from the Saturn V." "I've been watching For All Mankind lately..." "I haven't seen that yet, but if you're interested in that sort of thing, check out Everyday Astronaut on Youtube." Since I obviously knew about it, he asked me a couple of things he was wondering about from watching rocket launches, and I was able to answer them both because of either you or Scott Manley (or both), and he made sure to take note of the channel name. So you may have a brand new watcher because of the merch - even though it doesn't have your handle anywhere prominent.

Quentin · August 16, 2022

I think most of us (especially the Patreons) understand that your channel isn't your average youtube channel that posts a daily/weekly video, and that's totally fine. We know that your work requires a lot of research, preparation, and investment especially when it comes to convering on site rocket R&D / launches. We're all here to support you and your team on the long run as much as we can. Keep up the good work!

Michael S Wilhelm · August 16, 2022

Your content is about the best return on investment for my entertainment dollar that I get. The gaps are completely understandable and I know you will be ready when the deluge begins. I can't wait!

Erik Stens · August 16, 2022

Tim, you've changed my life with your channel. You've sparked a love in me for rocket science that I didn't expect, and now I can't get enough of it. Please take your time, quality over quantity. Every penny you earn from us was paid for at least ten times over with previous content. No need to thank us, we should be thanking you. Keep up the great work and good luck with the van! ❤ Best wishes from the Netherlands!

Yes Tim - I have been following you almost from the beginning. I think ive been a Patreon supporter since "Hoppy". Keep up the great work!

You produce so much very excellent content, and I know it doesn't without trumendous effort. I support your every effort and will continue to do so.

Jerry · August 16, 2022

Tim, I VERY highly recommend a few practice run throughs / live streams onto YouTube (and or Patreon), even if you keep it private. It will be better than if you try to do it with Artemis I on the pad at KSC at T-1 hour and there's some random issue.

John Lynch · August 16, 2022

Tim Thanks for the update really looking forward to the exciting times ahead. I would also love to see pictures and videos of the build-out of the van.

R
Roger Manning · August 16, 2022

I love the technical videos and articles that you have done. I have a PhD in mechanical engineering and worked for a BIG aerospace firm for 20+ years. But I still learned a lot about rocket engines from you. I had not known about how the various types of fuel pumps worked. Open cycle, closed cycle, pre-burner, oxygen-rich, ... The history of it was interesting also: What the Russians developed versus what the Americans did. ( I personally wasn't a "rocket science" guy. Worked more in trajectories and attitude determination and control. Also some aerodynamics.) So, your technical work is amazing. I understand that you are an autodidact in this area.

Rob Baird · August 16, 2022

Looking forward to it all Tim. Quality over quantity every time and the access you've had to Starship is immense and incredibly satisfying. Thanks for all the hard work, I know you never stop even though we don't see you for a month 👍

Douglas Groff · August 16, 2022

We want a deep dive into the inner workings of the van. I sincerely hope that everything goes smoothly for the upcoming launches/livestreams. We’ll be in SPI this winter for two months, hoping to see a Super Heavy/Starship launch.
