Project TMRO

Hey all, sounds like we are down a LOT of hosts for tomorrow’s show. Instead of a formal show, I’ll work on doing something for the Project TMRO crew at systems support and above!

Going live in about 10 minutes to talk about NASA's proposed budget, and the future of the Artemis program. Join us right here on X! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I have a feeling that tomorrow’s Project TMRO live show is gunna be… INSANE! Jami 🌸

My absolutely incredible conversation with @JeffGreason is now available to all! We talk about the beginnings of the New Space movement, pushing the industry forward, and next generation propulsion able to get humanity to Jupiter in just 3 weeks! youtu.be/UnYTAnOyqD8?si…

In just under 90 minutes Project TMRO will be live talking about the positive momentum after Artemis II, and if we can keep that going for Artemis III and beyond! Watch and interact live right here on X! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Selfie time!!! My crew snapped this photo of me and my bestie @Astro_Christina using one of the solar array wing cameras on our Orion spacecraft! When we're not taking selfies, we take pictures of the Moon and Earth and record what we see for scientists back home. -Rise

come on man it's not rocket science

Want to explore our solar system in weeks, not years? Then this is an interview with @JeffGreason you won't want to miss! Available NOW for the crew of TMRO on YouTube and Patreon. Available for all on April 15th.

AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE on @nasa comms to Artemis crew! @andyweirauthor

In just under an hour we will be talking about the 4 humans heading to the moon right now. Is this the start of an all new era for humanity? Or will it end up as flags & footprints 2.0? Join us at 10a PDT / 1p EDT / 1700 UTC right here on X! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I don't think there is anyone on the planet who has done more live rocket broadcasts than me. I literally have done *hundreds* of them over the last 18 years. And some of the largest launch broadcasts on the planet too! I say this not to brag, but to convey a level of expertise in launch broadcasts that I think few, if any, can beat. Ok, maybe brag a little 👸 I know a lot of people were not super happy with NASA's coverage, specifically at liftoff. But man, let me tell you... As someone who has done hundreds of these... IT IS FREAKING HARD! I have personally had bad liftoff sequences too. It happens. And it sucks. And I hated it when I did that. To me. And to you. It is hard to convey just how complex liftoff is during a broadcast. It is a moment in time where nearly every view is available, but very few are viable. You never truly know which ones will be viable either, so it's a guessing game and a bit of luck. You have to scan through to find the shots that work, but you only have *seconds* to do this. Seconds. I have learned over the years that a technical director (vision mixer) needs an A and B plan for liftoff. Generally engines -> pass through -> medium -> wide -> super wide -> track scope -> track spot for the A plan. The B plan is usually far easier with engines -> wide -> super wide -> track scope. The switcher control surface needs to be set up to execute these plans extremely quickly. And even if you do all of this, a gust of wind blowing smoke the wrong way can foil the best of plans. It. Is. Hard. I hear ya all, but let's cut NASA some slack here. They have amazing people working the launch. They have many people they need to support in their broadcast including the media, schools, NASA employees, government officials, and the public. It is like getting pulled in a billion different ways all at once. Was liftoff coverage epic? No. I mean, it just wasn't. Will they learn from this and make Artemis III better? I believe they will. I know the people working these things, and they are great. Don't let one launch paint a bad picture here. There is enough space for everyone. If you didn't like NASA's coverage, then @NASASpaceflight, @TLPN_Official, @Erdayastronaut, @SpaceflightNow and more had other, amazing options that may suit your tastes better. We live in a time where you have incredible options. It's awesome and exciting. Oh, and WE HAVE FOUR HUMANS GOING TO THE MOON RIGHT NOW! Lets be excited about that instead!

Join us Sunday, March 29th at 1700 UTC to talk about @NASA's new plans to get humanity back to the moon. It's big. It's bold. But is it real? Join us on X for an epic discussion on Ignition Phase I. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Reusability is driving up the size of rockets

In just a few hours Project TMRO will be talking about SpaceX's plans to build a one million satellite constellation to support data centers. We'll also be going over the updates from the Terafab event. Should be an interesting show! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

How rocket companies make Liquid Oxygen **even colder**

Did you know that the Pegasus XL is still flying???

Firefly's Alpha rocket is powerful enough to send humans to space!

In about 2 hours Project TMRO will be live with our latest epicsode! Join us as we chat about NASA's preparedness for potential issues on the moon and beyond! 10a PT / 1p ET / 1700 UTC x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@TLPN_Official @Erdayastronaut @spacecoastwest Congrats!

LUNA has joined The Launch Pad Crew! Massive thanks to @Erdayastronaut for trusting us to carry LUNA forward and keep it in Team Space. The next era of our spaceflight coverage starts now!

We will be live tomorrow chatting about all the new hotness happening with the Space Launch System and Artemis Join us here on X! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
