what was that blurred writing at the beginning of the video? 0:34

Really enjoy the no nonsense, straightforward delivery of information. All those other extreme hyperbolic click bait trash space channels should take note. Good to see the internet being used as intended for a change. Keep it up.

Thanks Elysia and the NSF team.

Based on what Tory Bruno said, it would have been safe to cycle the valve on the centaur, and that likely would've fixed the problem and they could have launched, but because of ULA's strict rule that you can't change the fueling state of the vehicle in any way with astronauts on board, even if it has an insignificant chance of causing any problems, they scrubbed the launch. He mentioned that "some other companies do that, but we just don't", because obviously SpaceX safely fuels the entire vehicle after astronauts are on board and it's fine. And that's a lot more of a "change in fueling state" than just cycling a valve.

Awesom This Week In Spaceflight, Thank you Elysia & NSF!!!
-
imho ULA did the absolute right thing.
-
There’s no way we got a different set of space earrings for every week! That’s impossible!
-
I can't tell you how much I enjoy and look forward to your show. I really wish you had your own bling section in the NSF store. Classy space suits. hehe
-
Let's go Elysia!
-
Quality reporting. Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼`
-
Excellent update!
-
The side by side of Archimedes and Rutherford is a great pic. Thanks for the recap.
-
Hello Elysia Another top notch episode.
-
I really like these videos. Really well presented and lots packed into it. 👍
-
At this time I don't know if I would buy into any Boeing explanation with their track record.
-
Fairings on 1st stage. That'll be interesting. And innovative.
-
(Thanks Elysia!) Safety's all-important, and it's great to have higher margins for crewed spaceflight. And I acknowledge that cryogenic plumbing is damn tough to get just right. Just the same, we've been dealing with leaky & fluttery hydrogen valves for more than 50 years. Is it time for a new design approach?
-
Great explanation from Tory Bruno.
-
Epic!
-
Yay space this week
