From an AirBnB in Amsterdam I stop for a moment to talk about the Orion in flight abort test and the July 2nd Solar Eclipse in South America.

Better the capsule becomes an artificial reef than gets put in a museum.
You must be getting quite the revenue from youtube or be a banker cause everytime i see one of your videos your on vacation lol
That was WAY better than the SpaceX explosion/burn on the pad test……justbeingtruthfulnotcritical
Eeeyyy welkom to Amsterdam my man!
Greetings from Chile! nice to see ny country on one of your videos.
Yes, we had a solar eclipse yesterday in South America… But it was cloudy where I was
Make a video on nuclear rocket please
The eclipse view from the Moon is impressive, Chang’e gets far less press than it deserves!
Great photos of the body being eclipsed from the orbit of a body eclipsing it 😄
YouTube’s ad under this video was for a drug & alcohol testing service loooool
Scott, I think I figured out for real why they didn’t use parachutes and benefit from a second test: *What if they had failed?* From a profitability standpoint, the Orion/Lockheed Martin people had nothing to gain and plenty to lose. Even a minor anomaly would cost time and money to investigate and fix. I think they are taking Bridenstein’s threats seriously. The program is under threats from him and Congress. They already had a successful parachute test a few years ago. So they met the NASA requirement. Why take any risk?
“Hey, Lockheed-Martin/SLS, that disregards the crew safety benefit of repeating the test.”
Lockheed-Martin/SLS: “Your point being?”
(I wrote this as a reply to Shawn Mims Comment, but think it deserves its own Comment.)
Thanks Scott! Amazing stuff as always. An eclipse from the Moon wow. So it was a Terran Eclipse?
So you are in Amsterdam? Want to meet up? me and a friend of mine would love to see you!:)
Greetings to all. the eclipse of the Sun: “The Music of the Spheres”, the “Cosmic Ballet”, the “Eternal Waltz”. our lives are so short that we can not enjoy the Whole. success.
The picture of the eclipse shadow from the Moon itself at 4:15 is awesome.
It’s like a modern Little Joe II.
@4:33 that is too cool. Love that Scott, thanks.
I hope that you are enjoying other aspects of Amsterdam and not only space-nerdy-stuff (that I also like, but Amsterdam…)
did u fly on the Super CARAVELLE 10B ?
Why would you NOT put a parachute on it..? They really cant be _that_ expensive in the grand scheme of things and it could offer so much visual data.
Apollo 15 filmed a lunar eclipse but they had already initiated TEI.
Scott when you get the chance can you please do a video on Nuclear propulsion systems.
Thank..For the update..Scott……Fly safe…..!
Yeah never mind also testing chute deployment and maximizing test value
I love that a missile is called peacekeeper
Can you say Lunar Eclipse Scott?
Hey Scott, are you planning to visit Czech Republic by any chance?
For a better test footage of the Rapid Unorganized Disassembler for manned capsules, I prefer SpaceX’s overpressure module to NASA’s gravitron accelerator.
I knew it! I was looking on a night sky tracking app I have and I noticed how close the moon and the sun were. I thought there had to be an eclipse somewhere
Hey Scott! Nice to see you visit Amsterdam and the Netherlands.
Any chance you go through Bulgaria during your Europe trip?
Hey Scott are you coming back to good old blighty on your jaunt around Europe?
Another superb video, short but still good Scott 😎👍🏻
2:32 how do we know that’s not just scott’s head?
Thank you for the update, and those images of the Moon’s shadow taken from an amateur satellite orbiting around the Moon itself are insane! I have never seen something like that, and I hope we keep getting amazing images of the Earth from space like that
A picture of the eclipse’s effect on the Earth, taken from the Moon! So cool.
It’s not Go Es. It’s goze. I worked on the program. It’s pronounced as 1 syllable.
So, from Moon’s perspective we just had an earthen eclipse?
Hey Scott, do you where we can download the pictures in .RAW format from the moon??? I’d love to get one of those!
Just in case you were wondering, you are indeed the man!
Looks like You’re recording from a typical Dutch “rijtjeshuis”
Yeaterday i saw the first meteor in my first life!
Unfortunately no solar eclipses will happen where I live until the 2060s
Would the tumbling of the abort process not make the astronauts dizzy and nauseous? Better than being dead, but still a very rough ride.
SPACE CAKE!!!
“Peace keeper missile”
*ironic*
Orion looks like a 1st mission in KSP career mode.
Man I love your videos but that intro is so cheesy
Amsterdam WOOOTTT. Ya missed the insane temperatures of last week though.
Thanks Scott, I was wondering why they didn’t want to salvage the capsule? Still a question that should be answered. Keep bringing the good stuff to us normies, we/I appreciate it very much.
Reds Rhetoric got some wicked footage,even splash down,which the official vid missed.

They say the lack of parachutes was intentional, but we all know it was a Kerbal moment.
4:31 proof the earth is round.
For any doubters out there.
Should send you some great Finnish chokolate. Munching it while enjoying the show!
Reds Rhetoric also got a pretty good gander of the abort test. This thing came down pretty hard; you could probably even calculate how fast and how high the ensuing splash was.
how much longer will you be in the Netherlands? I could get to meet you!
Great eclipse from Argentina. Now back in UK, you should have been there!

YouTube is an alcoholic
The image of the eclipse from the moon orbit totally worth it. And then some.
What are your thoughts on the aerodynamics of the orion capsule? It looked very unstable and ended up in a violent tumble. I would think this was a correctly mass loaded shape.
Thanks for taking the precious time from your vacay to continue making these vids.
Any plans on visiting Prague/Czech Republic? If so, it would be lovely to invite you for a (proper) beer!
I tried to see AA-2 from my house, but the sun got in the way
RIP Orion boilerplate.
F
Arise Brave Helios, gather your steeds.
Bring the warmth the countryside needs.
I really like those images of the eclipse from the Moon.
Comments below AA-2 videos:
40%- nice video/test/etc.
5%- my first KSP mission
55%- WHERE ARE THE CHUTES
I would love to see you talk about the upcoming game “boundary” it’s about near future zero g space combat with EVA suits.
Could you make a video on mean albedo of the far side of the moon? On DSCOVR images we can compare with our side of the moon (transit/oclusion), which should be darker due to dark seas.
4:29 – The first time we’ve seen the eclipsee from a spacecraft orbiting the eclipsor during the eclipse?
awesome! I always look forward to seeing every video you make. Hope you’re having a great time!
Nooo you were in Amsterdam noo again so close to me i live in s-Hertogenbosch😒 love your vies scot keep it up❤️
shame I can’t see the eclipse where I live
Hey, does KSP have the Hercules X-265 solid rocket motor that the SPRINT missile used? I….have some ideas…
I saw the eclipse in 2017, there are no words to discribe that feeling when it’s suddenly getting darker. It was just beautiful
Top quality as always Scott thanks!! 👍❤️
I saw the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 in Casper, Wyoming. By far, the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
Gonna see another one in 2024 when the totality path goes right over my house in Indiana. I can’t wait!
Hello Scott, any chance you will passing by Copenhagen during your trip to Europe?
You have hair!
… i must say I’m disappointed.
Not only did they add width to the Peacekeeper, but I heard they had to add about 100,000lbs of dead weight to slow it down properly.
So could you technically call that test rocket Little Joe 3?
LRO got pictures of the 2017 eclipse shadow on the earth.
As great as this was some of the images were reminiscent of the Challenger explosion,mine included.
Exciting times to have this happening in my backyard.
The interest is just as intense as the early space programs.

I’ve been loving the pics of the eclipse so far and Scott’s almost at 1M Subs!
I’m struggling to decipher this code on the shirt. Anyone can help, please? Could it be a sequence of Vim commands or something? Off the cuff frequency analysis shows that it’s not a natural language or product of regular encryption
EDIT: These BB BB H1 BB H1 BB in the second pairs of the first row might be modifiers for the first row, but I doubt it
Us Launch Report shows a severe tumbling of the test vehicle.
1:57 – Plus, if they’d parachuted it down to a soft landing, they could’ve recovered it for a few hundred funds.
Great eclipse photos, thanks for showing them. I hope you’re enjoying Europe.
Nearly 50 tonnes of ballast on that thing just to slow down the acceleration of the Minotaur first stage.
I watched the total eclipse from Argentina, from a montain at 2200m in front of a valley, it was amazing!!!!
*I LIVE IN CHILE!!!*
And I traveled to La Serena, the eclipse was *awesome!!*
BTW: Scott, you should do more videos in Simple Rockets 2, it’s a really good game now!
They should have called the abort test Little Joe III, just to be consistent with the earlier ‘Joes’ from Mercury and Apollo.
love how Kerbal the launch pad looked ^.^
keep smashing that like button guys almost 1m!
Correct me if im wrong. But doesnt a luna eclipse show the shadow from a body we’re standing on?
Dude, you’re like, 500 meters from my house, are you still here?
_Contract complete: Launch our first vessel!_
20 science

Jebediah Kerman was killed.
Every Dutch person in the first second of this video: “hey, that wall and fence look familiar”
3:25 You have a leaf stationed at the L1 point between your head and the fence.
What wizardry is this?
