I think his work is Pro.

The really bad part is that two of my engineers got into a Teams chat about this last month, and I asked them WTF they were going on about. They told me, and I forgot...

LMAO

"Donger, how the **** have you never read that book!? You're a geek!"

"I didn't like the title so I never read it..."

Made me laugh when someone on Tim's stream today asked him if he could add SN8 into this scene...

Looks like a direct hit to me. :shrug:

It's hard to discount his enthusiasm. His videos are top notch, albeit a bit in the weeds sometimes. I can't imagine people don't like him in general, but if you're looking for a NASA-style calm on launch, he ain't it.

I personally tend to watch him for mundane launches and for pre/post-game discussion when I'm in the mood, but for big events, I switch over to the official streams close to countdown.

That's where the wreckage ended up, yes.

Actually, I do the same.

100% agree.

He's one of my few YouTube subcsriptions. Speaking of, maybe we should add a list of good space based YouTubers or Podcasts. I know there are slew of them, many just repackaged crap. So it'd be nice to have a list "vetted" by other users. In no particular order some of my faves are Scott Manley, Joe Scott, Frasier Cain, Tim Dodd, and USLaucnhReport. Love Isaac Arthur too, but he's more a "futurist / scifi" guy.

Happy to add it to the OP if you want to provide links. (I'll do it tomorrow - on my phone tonight.)
