This is home run. You rock. Women in space. What can I say. Girls rule.

Brilliant interview Ellie! More of this type intelligent, informative, intellectual and stimulating interviews please!

Love your channel!

Great coverage – thank you for sharing this information about the planning for and building the foundation for humanity’s next phase of space exploration.

Your so underrated ellie, but so glad to see your channel growing quickly this year. You'll definitely have 100k by the middle of next year ❤.

This was great Ellie I've been interested in NASA very a very long time probably since I was a little kid but most importantly in my early preteen teen years that my interest really spiked cause I lived in Florida at the time and I remember looking for the shuttle when it launched and I've always wanted to go to space camp when I was younger but was never able to go due financial reasons. I did visit Kennedy Space center when I was 15 and I was just in awe over everything they had there and to this day I still have a picture of me standing by one of the apollo capsules. Depending on the cost I would be very interested in this school but I'm sure it won't be cheap and very expensive but hey one can dream right lol. Thanks for the great interview

Ellie, your interviews are truly amazing and informative on things no one else covers. Thank you so much for what you do. Continue on that amazing road you're on. You ate unique. Thank you.

Hi Ellie. You were meant for this job and you quitting your News job was just meant to be. Keep up the great and interesting work.

Sounds expensive

Another great report!!

I see a door open for you Ellie. Hope you get to go through it one day cheers.

It's a shame that BO is part of Orbital Reef, they still haven't launched above the Karman line and are holding back the US Space Program waiting for their BE-4 engines. Axiom is gonna have their replacement station first, good thing Dreamchaser is platform agnostic.

So when does Ellie in Space involve Ellie actually in space? 😀

the music over the video at the start is not needed. it was a painful, distracting noise that made me click off on this clip. keep it simple and to the point, we don't need a show. your past work has been just fine. one of the most prominent comments across all you-tube channels is "thank you for keeping it simple, to the point and no annoying music"

Thanks Ellie great interview ,I like to point out near the end you showed Sierra space simulation of the space station where the astronaut is floating so why would you need tables? seems like a bad design.

This is one of your best interviews. I live in Australia and would apply in a heartbeat but the costs would be prohibitive, I have the drive, but not the funds. But I wish the best to all those that have the means and drive. Good luck to you all.

GIRLS IN SPACE 🚀 🐨Gday Ellie, space fans. They need young, strong vivacious people, like you to report from Mars! APPLY for the program. Congrats on becoming a full time YT influencer. I was wondering what would happen if you popped a bottle of Champaign in microgravity? 🍾

Great episode! I particularly like the idea of 3D printing organs in space. I've hear of it before, but the concept is very exciting to me. I was always fascinated with Bio-Mechanical Engineering, specifically the idea of being able to create fully dextrous prosthetics that integrate into the human nervous system. I got laughed out of university for my ideas way back when, but now days it is looking more and more feasible. The future of science and manufacturing in space is only as limited as those who dream it! Perhaps one day soon it will be like going into a "5th Element" bio-bed and having new limbs and organs printed while on orbit… I just hope I get to live long enough to find out.

Hi Ellie it makes me want to be young again. Thanks for this great interview.

Another insightful, well thought out interview. Thanks.

Thanks!

I'm too old to go but look forward to calling someone and asking "where are you" meaning something like "Still on Mars, or are you on your way back to Luna?"!!! Real casual like.

Although in my view we'll use megastructures more as the home base, just in case lifeboat and Luna-Mars more for resource extraction-refinement.

Dollar for dollar it'll always be less expensive to manufacture & operate megastructures in space than habitats for millions on any non Class M planet.

Why space? Because there is where we can grow. Resources in such abundance that it can inspire a new babyboom like no other.

Once we start manufacturing megastructures in space, all with an upgrade to their design I have here in my hat, we'll quickly make so many that it'll take generations to fill them up.

Mars, in 40-50 years may provide as an endearing home to millions. By then, spread out over 4-5,000 megastructures, we'll number in 10s of billions, in space.

You did doing like go to space station in mars ? Good lucky but I wish go mar in life ? 👍👍👍😏😏😏

Ellie where do you find these great people to share with us. Thanks very much.
"To watch the world go by."
Fifty odd years ago friends had no TV. There front room was arranged around there large picture window. To watch the street go by.
Great graffics.
Space school yes if I was 55 years younger. I hope I live long enough to see Ellie in "SPACE". Go for it gal.
Btw Dream chaser is a great looking plane.
Great comments.

Thanks Ellie! When you are ready to go to space let me know, I will gladly contribute to your trip. I'll second that.

Dr. Janet Kavandi was fantastic, Sierra Space brings a lot to the table. Really enjoyed the interview style, you always bring out the brilliance they display.

A fine interview, very thought-provoking.

I like the Dreamchaser concept – but I think its commercial success is an unanswered question. It's probably not compatible with the Starship launch stack, and so its cost to orbit is almost certainly going to be very large compared to Starship's – unless Starship fails. Which is a possibility. There are high-risk elements to the Starship program, starting with its landing recovery system, which risks damage to expensive launch infrastructure.

To root for Dreamchaser may mean rooting against Starship, in other words. Though what we root for has little effect on outcomes, something any NBA fan knows very well.

The three-tiered commercial astronaut program makes sense to me, for LEO access at least. For missions deeper in space, astronaut training will have to wait a little longer. We don't really have a clear conception of how astronauts will survive and work on a Mars mission, or a mission to a Near-Earth asteroid, or to the Belt.

One step at a time!

A great job interviewing her, and a great video. I loved it. Thank you for a job well done..👍

Great interview as always, like your style of interviewing and how you explain your subject. I would be interested in the training if I wasn't over 65.

Ellie, you're 30, single, and without kids yet. This is the time to follow your dream and go to space school. You could be the first reporter qualified to work in orbit even if we have to crowdfund you. Ad Astra!

Ellie, you should apply, so we can see "Ellie in Space".
