To avoid disappointment we should point out that while these engines are fully assembled, they are models, so they do not work pretty good (or indeed at all!).

[@rjswas]

@@john_hind Would have to be a bit of a simpleton to think it was the real thing, if they need something obvious like that explained to them, then they deserve to be disappointed 🤣

[@john_hind]

@@rjswas I guess I thought even a simpleton would recognise the reference to the Gwynne Shotwell tweet and realise I was joking. But I forgot to account for the simpletons who jump into the comments without actually watching the video! Now I have a vision of Tory Bruno clicking the link hoping to get a $10m Raptor for $8.5m!

[@rjswas]

@@john_hind I knew YOU, were joking, and i was having a laugh at the possibility that people would likely think that... that was why i put 🤣at the end, because we know there are people out there that would think it was a real one or a real working model (mini jet engine) or something.

[@jameswoods2576]

I'm here from Google News. Congratulations.

[@p38pilot55]

Ellie what an amazing interview!, you have grown to be in the top echelons of communications to us common folk. Thank you for your hard work. And Anna what a great lady and explorer you are !

[@tjmcguire9417]

Anna Menon. What a great person. And you were smart enough to shut up except for the questions I would have asked. Well done Ellie. I can't say I have seen Anna talk anywhere else. She was so plainly happy to talk to you. THAT is good journalism. Anna Menon. Quite clearly Emma Stone. In Space. Anna received a bachelors degree in mathematics and Spanish at TCU and earned her masters degree in biomedical engineering from Duke.

[@ellieinspace]

Wow - really? That’s awesome! Yes, I’m so honored to have interviewed both Anna and Jared AND Kidd! Now I need to talk with Sarah!

[@ross077]

It's not very often that we hear from a current SpaceX employee and Anna Menon is one of only two of them who now has actual spaceflight experience! Well done for making the most of this opportunity, Ellie and thanks for sharing such a comprehensive and informative interview with us.

[@ufootje]

What a great interview! Thanks so much Anna and Ellie

[@noobdernoobder6707]

Great Questions! Many of them are very interesting for me and have never been asked before in those almost already formalistic interviews that are now are typical for official broadcasters, nowadays. Thank You to both for contucting and posting this interview.

[@jaredccain]

Congrats to the crew... And to you, Ellie, for your expanding opportunities.

[@scotthogan6057]

Great Interview Ellie! Your interview questions for Anna Menon were what I was looking for!

[@ellieinspace]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ralfkruse7565]

This was a great talk! I would have another question: Is the air humidity very low in the ship, that there a lot of static electric charge can build up? A reason for standing up hair.

[@CordoneDavoren274]

*Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires*

[@BailesPosey]

wow this awesome 👏 I'm 47 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

[@CordoneDavoren274]

It's Lisa Annette Robinson doing, she's changed my life.

[@DebeaumontCadiz]

I do know Ms. Lisa Annette Robinson , I also have even become successful....

[@Futralhundson]

After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom.

[@QuentinHufton]

Good day all👍🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺. I have read a lot of posts that people are very happy with the financial guidance she is giving them ! What way can I get to her exactly ?

[@spacerocketlab]

Happy to be part of this amazing interview !

[@radiotvhistory]

What an amazing interview Ellie! Anna is such a wonderful person, and her answers were excellent! You are becoming a journalistic powerhouse in the Space community Ellie, and your last videos are the best proof of that! Power to the space girls!

[@DouglasJMark]

Many, many thanks Ellie and Anna as well all the excellent questions put forth. Looking forward to many more wonderful stories about space and the people behind it. Wait, that could be a sign-off catchphrase like, “Stay tuned for more stories about space and the people behind it. She y’all soon!”. 😄

[@ellieinspace]

Thanks for listening!🌹

[@dvwilbur]

Great interview. So happy that Ellie has the opportunity to do long-form interviews like this instead of the 3 minute types that a network allows.

[@lionelharmon9541]

I think Ellie your in the driving seat to bring to the world astronauts experience independent of NASA lens restrictions and filters. So refreshing genuine and uplifting. Thank you

[@robertsteen8685]

This was an amazing interview, Anna answered the questions I had, mostly about what the ride was like from launch to on orbit

[@kevinostler]

Ellie thank you for the great interviews with the thoughtful questions. Your enthusiasm for what you do really comes through!

[@ellieinspace]

You are so welcome!

[@jamesf333]

Wow, that was a moving explanation, especially early on, the dedication and enthusiasm was fantastic to see. Thankyou, both of you. I even looked up on the spacewalk as you flew over the edge Australia. Well done. Remarkable

[@Phylonyous]

The Nile River was not what I expected but totally appreciated it!!!

[@patricksterl6176]

Thank you for all those questions and a special thank to Anna for the great answers

[@ellieinspace]

I was so grateful she answered so many

[@mhoward8212]

Incredible insight from Anna. Thanks Ellie...I look forward to your insightful videos.

[@kauffmanba]

So excited you gave Anna this opportunity to share her enthusiasm. I hope seeing this interview encourages girls and young women to pursue their dreams.

[@ellieinspace]

I hope so too! I really enjoyed talking to her! She is a great orator!

[@AL_K_]

Outstanding, Ellie!! Top notch interview!!

[@davida.rosser9930]

Thank you Ellie for this and everything you do. Very much appreciated!

[@guynardin]

[@frankknowlton736]

What a wonderful interview! Thanks Anna.

[@ellieinspace]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@x_ph1l]

Wonderful interview! Best explanations of what it's like out there than I heard from any other astronaut.

[@peterdrury5627]

Fascinating and heart warming. Fantastic interview!

[@suchdevelopments]

Good day from Goonellabah, NSW, Australia. I applied to NASA in 1974 to be an astronaut in the Apollo Space Program. I became an engineer. - 🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland

[@raisoreo]

Hey Ellie, thanks so much for your interview with Anna Menon. To have such a celebrity on your channel was an eye opening vision of what she really experienced on her recent trip to space. And to Anna: congratulations and welcome back home! Cheers!

[@progkarma944]

Fantastic interview!!!

[@grottyboots]

Excellent video, Ellie! I Love these interviews with people that were there. Keep up the great work!

[@shamha1626]

Thanks Elllie , will you be doing a video on how rockets engines work like the one Tim Dodd has done ? It will be helpful as well !

[@davidbrubaker5146]

Very good interview and we need more with SpaceX female engineers. I could have listened for an hour or two. It would’ve been very interesting to have her personal story. I would also suggest that you edit down to a couple of shorts for some of the comments and then edit for a couple of 5 to 7 minute videos like focusing on talking about the Nile. May be a shorter video that discusses the health effects in space.

[@TimFrench-tx1xj]

Great interview Ellie! Intelligent questions…inspiring..thanks!

[@zarl5238]

Excellent interview Ellie. I really learned some things that I had not considered. Thank you :)

[@claudebereal9007]

[@harveykelber2789]

Thank you Ellie

[@althyk]

2 amazing people! Thanks for the interview and questions.

[@WalterLuba]

Great interview as alwats

[@hi-q2261]

The only question I have is do.The space suits provide your more mobility than the old ones ?

[@richardloewen7177]

Yes. A major priority.

[@dionysus2006]

Ellie, great interview ! I really enjoyed it 🙂

[@dionysus2006]

[@balaji-kartha]

Love Anna, and not just because she is married to a brilliant man from my southern state in India. I am sure she knows some of our recipes 🫶👌👍👏👏❤🌹

[@thenlec]

excellent interview, thanks!

[@favesongslist]

Well done Ellie, at last someone asked the question about the dream of the FIRST two SpaceX employees to get to go into space ( Than the NASA astronauts that SpaceX took onto help)

[@jamesh1641]

Twins in matching outfits and hair. ❤

[@ellieinspace]

I feel like slick backed hair looks more professional for me as it is so long :-)

[@jeffjames3111]

Fascinating.

[@ericind3692]

Fantastic interview well done 👏 ❤

[@ellieinspace]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davestoyak9183]

Nice interview. 👌 Keep up the good work ! Cheers from Alaska PS Is there any chance you could make a model rocket using the Raptor printed rocket engines? 😃 😮

[@stevecam724]

What a lovely episode Ellie 😆😆

[@XCX237]

Awesome video Ellie 👌

[@thelmayelland2300]

[@toddmoore5275]

Oh ELLIE!!! EXCELLENT Interview! You are a real PROFESSIONAL ELLIE!! Thank you Tz

[@richardloewen7177]

I hope Anna's words, Ellie, will inspire you to risk the vomit comet one more time. Towards going into space later in your life. Don't lose your dreams!

[@rodneysmith1750]

Wow great interview today, two beautiful gals!

[@tra757200]

Is Anna the one that used to do the countdowns for falcon launches?

[@lourdessilva6442]

Sem palavras isso não preço conhecimento e tudo

[@julianover8899]

Hasn't Anna a charming smile?

[@myyklmax]

Monday Morning Ellie.

[@jledgister]

All ways enjoy your more formal interviews. You should do more of those less free more formulated

[@Warchin007]

Congrats on everything Anna Menon. Orbital space is going to boom. 🌐 Book of Jude is Great.

[@erobed4565]

What an awsome, informative, and inspiring interview!! So proud of what this young woman and her team have accomplished!

[@robertsteen8685]

I will love to have the mini Raptor 3 engines, but i live in South Africa

[@johnstewart579]

Excellent interview Ellie! Love these personal accounts from the people who are on the cutting edge of exploration

[@ellieinspace]

Thank you! And I agree! I’m so glad to have had access to hear Anna’s experience firsthand!

[@Uncle_Yukon]

GREAT interview, thank you.

[@ellieinspace]

Thanks for listening

[@toddmoore5275]

God BLESSED YOU TOO ELLIE I feel so glad for you it’s A dream come true GO TEAM FREEDOM YOU ARE A CAPTAIN O N THE TEAM OF FREEDOM ELLIE LEAD THEM WELL YIU ARE REPRESENTING SO VERY WELL ELLIE! You will make Major soon

[@colinmackie5211]

The bathroom thing is still really unclear. Does the person have to get undressed to access the toilet tube , or is there an access port through the space suit? How does it seal and stay clean? Given zero g does the toilet laterally suck ? If so why would a fan be needed for?

[@ellieinspace]

I think she didn’t want to elaborate lol

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

I believe in the pressure suits they wear diapers of a sort. When in their jumpers they unzip.

[@WilboBaggins-dm7ub]

Yayyyyyyyyyy

[@toddmoore5275]

Excellent Wirk Ellie!! EXCELLENT WIRK ELLIE THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH YOU ARE FROM KENNEWICK!! I have been THERE LOVE Todd You brighten my days with your ongoing success and it’s so nice to see you

[@robwoodring9437]

I would hope there's an easy way to mute one's own helmet mic during a launch. I know I wouldn't be able to stifle a full-volume "LFG"

[@thesoundtree]

Funny, you asked about going to the bathroom made me think of beans are not for astronauts

[@Jonny_The_Organism]

Ellie wants to go to space...you can see it in her....not just her face...

[@On-down-the-road]

Ellie, i have to ask? It is my understanding, flight is the manipulation of atmosphere, useing propeller, impeller, and alorons, to create horizontal flight. Rocketry does not use any of those things. So rockets go up under a chemical reaction, and dows NOT have any capabilities to use atmosphere to gide itbin any way to escape gravity! So rockets simply go up, and gravity pulls them back down! The second stage rocket, propells the spacecraft to a orbit where the second stage rocket is dropped back to earth. The spacecraft is floating around earth. We use gravity to bring it back. So please stop calling it flight! Flight is manipulated atmosphere, horizontally! So the FAA is an Aviation association. They are to regulat aircraft, horazontal movment. And as we all see 245 human lives have been lost due to the FAA, and its failer to inforce saftey!! Then lies in a congressional hearing, and nobody is inforcing the law! Contempt, is the reason Mike Whittaker should be imprisoned! Please help with this outright disrespect of law, and rocketry, and anyone that bords a Boeing aircfaft. Lives are at stake. Thank you USAF Vetran and patriot Jeffrey Martin, citazen USA

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

It's not flight? That has to be one of the single most meaningless nits I have yet to see some fool pick. The rest is more proof that you're likely a fraud AND a fool.

[@talilemes1]

Hi, Ellie. I admire your work. You are awesome. You seem to be so sweet. Wish you the best.

[@jbanannas]

Thanks E., great to see more strong women in the STEM field.

[@ellieinspace]

I agree!

[@WilboBaggins-dm7ub]

Smashing

[@lazerithlazerith4012]

This makes me happy I always since i was a littler kid dreamed of going into space. I know I never will but this pretty lady got to and I happy for her,

[@botto80]

😊

[@kenpitman]

Ellie, I think you are a most beautiful woman both inside and out x

[@AlterKnochen]

😍🤩👩‍🚀

[@kuhnology8803]

It will take a lot of people to fill 1000 Starships...How will Space X meat the challenge to train 10,000 personal to fly?

[@bimmergeezer]

I can't think of time better spent than watching two beautiful, articulate and intelligent women discussing space and science!

[@HadoukanFire]

The way being launched was described was poetic to my delusional mind

[@ellieinspace]

She gave the best description I've ever heard
