[@ender2999]

One of my all time fav episodes, and I’ve been watching for a while

[@EventHorizonShow]

What about it did you like so much? That’s great to hear.

[@sthippe1992]

This channel never disappoints. Great interview. Great guest.

[@stricknine6130]

Great interview, I always wanted to go to space since I was a kid. I would love to see the Earth like she did. Thanks for the video.

Why do I find that this episode is one of the best I have watch ? She really have take me there with her ! And John giving all this space to Nicole, together with his simple short discrete questions, just the perfect one's to make the merry-go-round turn a little bit higher ! Thank You John ! ♥

[@itsfonk]

For a terrestrial being, there’s no broader vantage than gazing down at the entire world. Taking it *all* in from the heavens seems to result in the same reverence - being one among the whole - an active participant in that great cooperative effort as a “crewman” on our generational arch-ship, Earth. Awesome episode today - many thanks, John and co.!

[@nealsterling8151]

What an fantasitc guest!

[@perryrhodan1364]

What a wonderful person. Optimistic, honest and a great speaker. Great interview. Probably my favorite Event Horizon.

[@seth8776]

This was such a fun episode. Thanks so much Nicole for stopping by and thank you John for always finding the best guests!

[@FUBBA]

I one day wish to be just like her and see the Earth from low-Earth orbit with my own eyes.

[@EventHorizonShow]

It’d be great wouldn’t it.

Kudos JMG, what a wonderful episode. I mean... "as long a I could come back, I really do think of Earth as my home". Man what a profound statement!!

[@mfstafford]

Criminally under-viewed video on this channel! Fascinating woman and exceptionally good at relating her experiences in space. Thank you both for the interview.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Thank you, Nicole, for your service to Humanity. 💙🌏🌎🌍💙

[@jonnyroxx7172]

I rarely comment, but I just have to echo the sentiment here; what an amazing interview. Thank you John. Your content always make my day a little bit brighter.

[@justingall4055]

Fantastic interview. Loved every minute of it. You’re a real pro man and your guests are A+. Keep up the great work.

[@jacobellinger8027]

the overview effect i would imagine is more like a idea realized by existing in reality in that moment giving you a fuller understanding of the 'is' of things.

[@picturecd123]

This channels growth in quality has been amazing, not that it's ever been bad

[@Henrikbuitenhuis]

Thanks so much for the video and info. I wish you All the best.

[@bbbl67]

I wonder if the sense of depth that Mrs. Stott talked about while in space is due to being able to see more colors and more unfiltered brightness from the stars than we do on Earth?

[@rossmcleod7983]

We loved this John and yes, you have a great touch with interviews. Look forward to getting Nicole’s book, wonderful speaker.

[@doggedout]

Easily your best episode. What a special person she is. So smart. So articulate about her extremely unique experience,. Living her best life doing something she loves. I'm going to buy your book!

[@Tina-di4lx]

I saw the shuttle at the Smithsonian Dulles. That, the SR71, and another of the displays, was one of the highlights of my pilgrimage

[@davidhughes838]

That shuttle landing was f'ing epic

[@MrTaxiRob]

STS wasn't as great as everyone thinks from a practical and economic standpoint, but it WORKED. I think we lost a huge opportunity by not helping Russia keep Buran alive, too. And Energia would have been a great addition to our collective heavy lift capabilities... 30 years ago. Now we're struggling to adapt the shuttle launch system into SLS, and other heavy lift options are still experimental. When's the last time Falcon Heavy flew?

[@doom75x84]

Thx bud 👊😎

[@k-in-dza-dz-a1233]

The description of "overview effect" by Nicole sounds a lot like Ayahuasca experience!

[@joshm3008]

Hi John. Any chance we could get an interview with someone from space x or rocket lab?

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

They are indeed on the radar.

[@lunatikatlemans24h88]

Can you see the stars from the ISS? If so then as clear as we see them from Earth or better? Edit: she answered my question.

[@RockHoward]

Hi JMG. Please consider Dr. Pekka Janhunen of Finland and his recent paper about a habitat orbiting Ceres.

[@jonathanlebon9705]

@5.29 is that the sound barrier being broken?

[@Thegoldmine1]

Question, Is it difficult to breathe during a lunch with the pressure?

[@kleptocharlie]

That was interesting... especially the view from space giving you depth. The only time I get depth is when I have the moon, or the planets in the night sky while star gazing. Another time was the first and only time I took acid (bucketlist)... I stared at the sky for hours listening to music. It was a perfect night and the night sky was AMAZING, planets were out, it really made me feel like an ant on a tennis ball then.

[@Nunya.Bidness]

John have you been to Udvar Hazy? I'm proud to have seen 3 of the shuttles

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

Twice. It's one of my favorite museums and I make a point to visit every time I'm in the DC area.

[@Nunya.Bidness]

I'm lucky enough to leave about an hour away. Pre covid we used to go 3 or 4 times a year. It's a real gem, and the Discovery is truly, truly awe inspiring. Seeing Enterprise before that was cool too, but Discovery is where it's at. Most amazing single vehicle in mankind's history. I wonder if we'll ever top it.

[@DrMackSplackem]

Nicole has the pioneer spirit.

[@knightswarm1]

Ok so JMG is not DEAD! thank god! was starting to get worried about you John. not seen a new video on JMG channel, was starting to think the worst. 😁

[@jamesprest803]

I'm falling asleep to JMG - IN SPACE

[@Moustashmol]

With an operational startship fleet a new space station is almost a certainty

[@BriarLeaf00]

Does anyone remember NASA developing a next generation shuttle that was basically a space plane that would more gradually set off into orbit? I don't know I feel like it's something I read in popular mechanics in the late 90s and haven't thought of until now.

[@IudiciumInfernalum]

You mean like Virgin Galactic's space vehicle?

[@sciencerscientifico310]

I'd like to see some experimentation with artificial gravity in the next space station. That way, progress could be made towards the spacesteads of science fiction.

[@charlescook5542]

Artificial gravity generated by rotating requires very massive sizes that we won’t be building soon I think. If you rotate a small object to generate it the object is spinning so fast there are hazards. After watching a robots in space presentation that cool worlds was a part of it looks like we’ll be sending lots of tech with minimal people to our first settlements.

[@Varan8]

Well Russia won’t be able to afford it if it will be replaced

[@damianp7313]

Hold up with Russia at war how are they going to get down?

[@MNewton]

I believe that enough capacity to evacuate the entire station is required to be docked at all times, so they don't need to wait for a ride, though maybe that capacity comes from Russian craft? Maybe they have a dragon sitting up there docked as well though. Seems like maybe in the run up to this terrible thing somebody thought about that, at least one hopes.

[@MNewton]

OOp somebody else just said that they are threatening to leave the one American up there, so I guess I'm completely wrong on that count.
