[@ObsidianAnt]

Your videos have always been quality! Can't wait to see what you do with the new channel!

[@imaner76]

I'm sure you'll come and join us. You'd be more than welcome.

[@samitefan1]

I'm glad that you are prioritizing what you want to go after, rather than what gets you most views/traffic. I look forward to seeing what you do on the new channel!

[@jusef85]

Thank you for all the content you have provided over the years. You are a KZbin staple for me. Godspeed.

[@TheKermit2110]

Must have been a challenging decision but you have to do what’s right for you, mate. Loved your ED vids over the years, can’t tell you how much I appreciated them. As a PS4 player, my ED hours have slowly diminished over time so I won’t be as affected as your PC subscribers, but as a rep of the console crowed, thanks very much for all your support over the years, and the best of luck to you in your new direction.

[@jayesh787800]

As a fellow PS4 player, I agree with you 100%

[@michaelcookson4033]

Playing Elite in its first edition in the 80s playing it in my twenties. Stopped a little later. Rediscovering Elite (Dangerous) in my early 50s, i came to know cmdrs and joined our community. What a joy, seeing Cmdrs like you who were there providing your insights, views and support. You've become part of the embroidery of a much cherished game. My heartfelt thanks for what you've done. Quality my friend, pure quality. I wish you every success in your future endeavors and thanks for the memories. 😢

[@Not_A_Paranoid_Android]

I hear you. I bought Elite when it came out in 84 and loved the short story that accompanied the game. Was so excited when Elite Dangerous was rumoured then demonstrated as Beta. Reliving the boyhood experience with 21st tech.

[@nuncapasaran9374]

You will always be my favorite Elite Dangerous channel. You always put a lot o thought and consideration into your content here and taught me a ton about the game when I was starting out, and I appreciated your science focus and positive attitude. You never really gave into the doom and gloom element of Elite but you still gave honest and fair feedback. Cheers, man! Good luck with everything.

[@chadsalisbury4830]

You were one of my OG Elite Dangerous KZbin channels (along with ObsidianAnt) when I got into ED in 2018. Your mining and ship build vids were invaluable. Best of luck to you on your future endeavors.

[@brian-esss]

I love it. A person with integrity. Chasing your passions rather than monetization.

[@NapFloridian]

You will be missed; I remember the days when you had 80 followers. You came a long way on this channel, and you are a great person doing an amazing job to your community.

[@mavadelo]

NOOOOO that is such sad news for us. Always enjoyed your content mate. Sad to see you go but I understand why you do it. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. If you ever decide to rejuvinate this channel I will be back. God Speed.

[@peregee]

Your outlook is brighter than Elite's.

[@oomwat6101]

How to say that Elite Dangerous is dead without saying that Elite Dangerous is dead! Good luck buddy, prioritise your life ... youtube will always be there if you want it. And thank you for all your work ... it's been great

[@notchkali9892]

You do you. It’s been a pleasure watching you play great games and you taught me so much about Elite Dangerous. Good luck sir

[@stevehodge133]

Very sad to hear you stopped the channel, but totally understand why you’re stopping. Always enjoyed watching your videos. All of your game tutorials you did were awesome and easy to follow. I just want to say thank you for such an awesome channel and wish you all the best for the future.

[@rainshineheffner]

The end of an era. Your guides always helped me, and your attention to detail has always been something I come here specifically for. I hope you enjoy your time away, I'll miss you here!

[@dannyC3827]

You strike me as a passionate person and your videos really show it. I love your videos as they are so detailed and "down to earth." I'm very happy that you are following your passions and I know that you will do really well at whatever you decide to put that effort into. It was always fun watching your livestreams and interacting with you while you played. I can't wait to see where you go from here. Good luck to you my friend!

[@billywashere6965]

Love this channel, will definitely miss the updates, but definitely thankful for the insight and information you provided for fans of space sims!

[@scarab077]

Thanks for all of the years of content, you have been great. The slow death of Elite and the loss of awesome creators like you has been really depressing, but it's good to see someone moving on with a bit of a plan and a purpose. No matter where the trip takes you, fly dangerous. o7

[@MichaelCordeiro]

I've been lurking your live streams and and watching your ED videos for years and have enjoyed it very much. You were my main source of space game news and it's sad to see you go, but I'm happy that it's on your own terms and that you'll be pursuing a new adventure. I also enjoy space and work at a prominent telescope company (one featured in one of your Cosmic Curiosity videos) and look forward to seeing more content on that side. Thanks for all your work!

[@EKWB]

thank you for all you have done for the Elite community, you and the content you have created will be sorely missed by a great many people and I wished that you would continue to make the videos. However, I totally understand the reasons for your decision and wish you luck with the new channel :)

[@madskater5]

So many emotions. All I can think to say is “wow!” and “thank you!”

[@haluter]

This hit me in the feels 😥You've always been THE Elite Dangerous KZbinr for me for many years. I stopped playing ED a while ago, but remained a subscriber in the hopes that ED would one day rise to greatness again, but that never happened 😔

[@Smokey_MR2]

You have to follow your heart, best of luck with the new direction, I am already subbed to Cosmic Curiosity and look forward to seeing the content on there. Thanks for all the content over the years and o7 commander 🚀

[@Gabriel.Glacial]

Back in my active E:D days you were my number 1 channel to watch for anything related to the game! Huge thanks for everything you‘ve done for the community with your videos! And all the best for your future plans 🙏 Godspeed

[@vectieba]

wow, just hit a 100k subs the other day. Good luck to you, you must do what you want and love!

[@hj-redravenheng3822]

Your content has been consistently of a very high standard - you do what's right for you to grow and experiment with new things! Best of luck and we'll all see you around KZbin and elsewhere! Thanks Dave, for your time and tireless effort.

[@PeterPan-cx7yc]

Respect for your Decision! That´s the "astro" we know! Neitherless i am sad, because you and your Videos helped und guided me alot over the years in ELite Dangerous. I will miss you a lot!

[@michaelhauder733]

Thank you for all the Elite Content I watched on your channel over the years. Charge after your visions, I don´t know if the new content will be something for me, but I allways liked your chilled layed back videos. Have Fun

[@adiedri38]

Good luck. Happy all your stuff is staying. I think a 24hr live stream to say goodbye is appropriate o7

[@olly7248]

Good luck with all your future plans… and thanks for all you have done here 🙏

[@15Akel]

well well dave, I respect this change, go out there and do the best in your life :) it was nice having DTEA on here and see you on cosmic

[@GuardianSmurf]

Fair play - understandable! Forever grateful to you for bringing me back from Colonia 😊 Looking forward to checking out your new content.. Alles gute

[@Jay-xq1dc]

I loved your content for years (ED and SC), best of luck with the new channel. Going to miss your videos..

[@aanubis5874]

Gutted!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, streams and conversations on Elite Dangerous etc. over the years immensely, however, you have to do what makes you happy. I will see you on your other channel. :)

[@jean-lucpicard5229]

Very sorry to hear about this, been following and loving your videos for a long time. Hope that cosmic curiosity will be as successful

[@Dysonsphere42]

Thank you so much for what you have done here on d2ea, while I will miss your videos on space Sims I am exited for the new content on cosmic curiosity! o7 commander and best of luck

[@DaSkaterdude97]

Hey! Your videos helped me get into Elite. I hope you have luck on your ventures next year, good luck! I look forward to seeing what you do on your new channel!

[@josa310]

I'm sad to see you going, but I'm glad you decided to follow your heart desire. Good Luck Astro

[@mrcnorth7149]

Thank you for your content over the years Astro! Good Luck with whatever you choose to do next. I'll keep an eye on your Cosmic channel.

[@Flamepreacher]

Sad to see you go as been watching for years and always valued your videos. Sounds like you are doing the right thing for 'you' though. Look forward to seeing your other content!

[@McBackBacon]

Be proud of what you've accomplished, I for one (And many others) appreciate what you have done for the community you created. I do hope you come back however I completely understand and support your choice. Thank you

[@fuzzythoughts8020]

Seems more than elite dangerous is going on the backburners. Tbh, you should abandon the other channel, just do other space stuff here on D2ea and keep your brand recognition, KZbinrs don't tend to do well abandoning their main thing to do creatively fulfilling endeavors.

[@RhythmPlanetMusic]

I agree somewhat.. No reason you can't use this channel (in a reduced capacity) to Crosspromote and help build your New Channel! (You've done the work here building up your brand.. Use it to fuel and supplement your new project!

[@harvmate]

‘Doing well’ as a KZbinr might not be the only motivator though, what if he wants to actually do stuff he enjoys?? Also he won’t turn back now whatever you advise, he seems pretty much certain on these plans.

[@arturius9715]

He has a full time job. That mindset doesn't really apply here

[@genesasser2855]

I'll just say, You have helped this old Commander , tons of help understanding Elite. Thank You. O⁷

[@anubis6329]

You don't need to explain yourself to us my man! You don't owe us anything, if anything we are in debt to you! Your videos were super helpful to me when I was playing Elite Dangerous! I wish you well in life and hope you find the time for the projects you want to pursue!!! Thanks again!

[@somedude4805]

Whatever you do with your time, I'm sure it's going to be fruitful. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, and it was creators like you, Scott Manley, and the sort who got me into space games like Elite Dangerous and Kerbal Space Program, and I couldn't be happier I found y'all. I play these games more than any other game now, and I don't see that changing any time. I'm even in college studying physics because Kerbals made me love it, and folks like you made me love Kerbals. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you've done with this channel, and best of luck in whatever you do next.

[@sillothian4618]

The last flight of Howard O’Connor! Always enjoyed your content, both entertaining and informative. Good luck with the new channel.

[@exoplanet2013]

I just want to say " Thank you" I really do appreciate all that you have done for us. And the best to you and your future endeavours.

[@TP-ym1xe]

Oh man, this is the end of an era! I want to thank you for your original updates, dedication and insightful tips in optimising ships and modules in Elite: Dangerous. Good luck to your future endeavours.

[@MrLuCyPh3r]

Good luck! It's been enjoyable following your journey! Look forward to you putting out some hard science content!

[@markandbeck]

You were my go-to channel when I was learning Elite Dangerous! So well done and soo much appreciated. Every time I have been asked for advice about Elite, I pointed them your way. Thanks so much for all you have done. Hope I will still see you and the bunnies out in the black. o7 commander!

[@ChrisM541]

A galaxy sized thanks for everything you've done with this channel over the years, hugely appreciated. Definitely, of course, always prioritise for yourself & your family. So happy you're leaving your huge library of fantastic and essential go-to ED videos for anyone to access. Your unique tutorials and your cmdrs toolbox have helped (and are still helping) so many. I wish you well in your new endeavours and I look forward to seeing what new avenues you pursue.

[@paragod8765]

Thank you for everything and I wish you all the best in your next challenge. We must always follow our heart and always face new challenges, or we will atrophy as a person. Thank you again.

[@davidwitherow900]

You've been an always welcome and helpful part of my own Elite Dangerous journey. Good luck with Cosmic Curiosity - I've subscribed and am looking forward to seeing what you do there.

[@Czejenesku]

Sad news, always enjoyed flying together with you (on the second screen) and learned a lot from you about Elite etc. Thanks to you I discovered more things in Milky Way. Cant wait to see more stuff on the second channel. Im not saying goodbye yet! Will do that when the time finally comes. Any plans for final goodbye stream?

[@Glorious_Memes]

Loved all your ED Videos through the years, I still come back to your channel for anything I don't understand/want to learn about the game. Will DEFINITELY check out Cosmic Curiousity and will look forward to new videos on it. o7 CMDR have a great time.

[@BakaOotaku]

I have learned so much from you and inspired me a great deal. As I have start school in the last 3 years, I understand that you have to drop something to progress and best of luck to you and your future plans. Thank you for everything!!!

[@kilroyrip2979]

Best of luck to you & yours moving forward. You were my primary resource for Elite Dangerous training & entertainment. Change is good!

[@neilwatson288]

Thank you for all the great vids. I especially enjoy the livestreams and will miss those the most.

[@samucleta]

Thank you, Dave. Best of luck on your next endeavour. Fly mad my lad o7

[@mandiworld]

Honestly I don’t know how you’ve been able to manage your time. So long and thank you for all the vids!

[@SpaceShortsYT]

Changing out the engine, while the bird is in the sky, love it ;)

[@eddievanbasten1751]

Thanks for everything. I have a fleet of ships in Elite that are all based on your designs. I thank you for explaining so many details to me. I hope to continue watching your output. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@JL-rj9fl]

Thank you, and I'm glad you're following your heart and doing what's best for you. Life is too short to have more than one full time job. Take care! o7

[@rebilacx]

Good luck in your endeavors, and we'll see you on the other side.

[@sparkyails123]

You will be missed, loved watching your content for a long time. Thank you for your time. o7 Commander.

[@victor_apfreitas]

I've been playing ED for 3 months now and I truly binge your channel. One of the most pleasant things for me while playing is to have your videos playing on the background, be it for information or for just feeling comfortable with how well you treat people and the channel/game stuff. I can say nothing else than thank you A LOT and wish you the biggest success in whatever you choose to do. and about commander toolbox and so, if you can find someone to keep as an admin, it would be great. Next year is the 20th/40th anniversary of the game, I don't see that "slow death" as it is announced, but maybe a "rebirth". Anyways, best of luck, from a silent fan so far.

[@urbansparxTheonly1]

Such an shame, but good for you. Thank you for your dedication and good luck in the future. I look forward to your new content.

[@Venhili]

Astro, much respect for all the content and advice you have given all of us over the years. Thank you so much for the time you gave us, hope the time you have in the future proves fruitful

[@aaronburrmusic]

Well, it's been a good run. I myself appreciate everything you've done. ED wouldn't have been the same without you! 😁

[@bigblakgaming]

No one gets out of time and space alive. The choices we make from womb to tomb are what matter. Do what makes you happy if you can. Seek to do no harm to others on that journey. Sounds like that is what you are trying to do. Good luck!

[@kema7538]

I'm so happy that you're taking the leap of faith to try doing what makes you happy. I already gave Cosmic Curiosity a follow, and I'm excited to see what the future holds!!

[@TheProsirius]

Thank you for the good content you shared with us. i will always remember the fine shield tech shenanigans with engineering we do back in the days with Elite. Its good you take your time, so you can do things you want. I will switch to your other channel, did not even know that you have it. There is so much more out there to wonder, so i am glad for you, that you can find more time for it with this decicion. Go on Sir, it was a Pleasure to meet you o7 Greetings und Kudos Nikopol

[@RichardAnthonyButler]

I thank you for your commitment and effort, it has been truly amazing, and I am very grateful for the great help you have provided in short cutting the learning experience in ED. I have been playing ED since 2014-5, and I was wandering aimlessly until I chanced upon one of your videos about ranking up. My planning is much better now and that is down to your content, as well as Obsidianant and the Burrpit. The quality of your creations has been excellent and I have always been in awe of the shear amount of time you must have invested. Enjoy what you do and have a merry Christmas.

[@surfninja]

This breaks my heart, but I get it. Gonna miss this channel so much. One of only a handful that I watch regularly. Best of luck to you!

[@ericc4596]

Thank you for all the work you've done over the years, you were a mainstay in the community. And I'm happy for you that you are ready to move on and develop in new areas!

[@elrondofrivendell4337]

Sad to hear this news. Thank you for all the content you have made and provided over the years, it has been really helpful and enjoyable to watch. It is good that you start and do more of your own projects that you have had to put on hold. Good luck in all your future endeavours.

[@aavvv_]

I’ve really enjoyed your content here but in life you have to follow what drives you. Nothing but support, I look forward to where you go from here!

[@phc3165]

Thank you so much for everything you've done for the digital space-faring community! Your amazing videos have been so helpful! I'll definitely be following you on your other endeavour. Wishing you all the best!

[@machinimaaquinix3178]

Hey bud, you do you and thanks for doing you all these years. Esp during the pandemic when I was holed in, your ED commentary and guides helped me get through that period. Looking forward to your next steps!

[@tennodekaizer4470]

Thanks for all the content and good luck with all your new ventures

[@robdfar]

sorry to see you go . enjoyed talking to you in descord and playing in Elite.

[@vpin-studio]

I think your channel was the first on I ever subscribed too. Thanks for helping me and so many other people playing ED and best of luck for whatever comes after this!

[@MaybeLater82]

Fair play to you....I have subscribed to your other channel and look forward to watching your less gamer focused content. Good luck to you in this new endeavor. Change is as good as the rest

[@simonjfear]

Lot of Love from the UK you have been a mainstay for my advice on ED. Your videos have been so helpful and insightful. All the best and I wish you all the success.

[@wmc2457]

Really going to miss you sir! Thank you for your very excellent videos. I appreciate you! :)3

[@Thelekv]

Thank you Dave and good luck for your projects, I was totally lost when I started ED but your channel helped me really enjoy this awesome game. Hope to see you in space again Cmdr

[@JASVOR]

I really enjoyed your gaming videos, but mostly because you as a character so I'm sure I'll enjoy your more down to earth astronomy content (pun intended) Farewell and see you soon!

Thanks for many, many interesting videos. good luck with your new venture!

[@thebagfather4633]

good luck chap always enjoyed your content you will be missed hope your new projects work out well take care ans o7

[@decrepitworld3634]

Thank you! You and your community have been the reason I played ED for a long time. I've also resigned playing ED after spending a few months after the Odyssey update. Fly Dangerously my man!

[@gargamosch]

I will miss your tutorials, They helped me a ton in ED. Good Luck for your new projects!

[@cohenworrior898]

Thanks for you service cmdr. We'll meet again don't know where, don't know when o7

[@gruffgruffer7577]

Best of luck to all of your ventures :)

[@firiozifirion4718]

Good luck man. I really think youre taking the right decision. If you'll feel even more burnt out, please dont be aftaid to take a break from youtube all together. Good luck on the 2nd channel! Will make sure to check it out!

[@Sir_Alex]

THX for all the content you made, good luck with everything !

[@leslieviljoen]

Thanks for all your hints and guides over the years, they have been very helpful. Your "one hit wonder" Anaconda is what I used to do the only substantial Thargoid killing I've done and it was great fun. Good luck with the new channel, I hope it goes well!

[@Yeager123123]

Dude, that’s a shame on my end but I’m glad you’re doing what’s right for you. Subscribed to your other channel now. Be good and happy holidays!

[@drazenkorosec7694]

Thank you for all your work. Was a nice time... did some Elite expeditions with you. Will check out cosmic curiosity.

[@pilsatortube]

Always liked your videos! Hope you come back to this one day! Taking a break is always a good thing :) Godspeed!

[@HouseUK1975]

Good luck with your plans, while i have always drifted on and off elite since the beta just as the game has always remained installed on my PC, your channel has stuck in my KZbin subs and I regularly watch even now. You are one of the level headed/no drama content creators that KZbin needs more of and I wish you luck in your plans and will be happy to check out whatever you decide to produce.

[@glennanderson7586]

Your Gaming content will be missed. You be You and hopefully i will see your new site. Best wishes.
