Felix, if you have time before release, I think the background sound on this is much too loud compared with what you're saying. For my aging ears, anyway, it occasionally drowns out what you're saying.

I've got two critiques: Instead of "I'll explain this to you", how about "we'll go over all of this together". Imagine if Scott Manley tuned in to your program! Also, I'm pretty upset about your over branding. WAI on a t-shirt? That's for cult members, not space enthusiasts. My need for a family isn't so great, I guess.

Great explanations. Did the landing legs try to extend? I don't think I saw any indication of them extending

No time anymore on this release, but I'll keep a close watch for you on the next one! Thank you very much for the feedback! :)

Hello Shelly! Thank you very much for your feedback! Scott does watch my program and he never complained. It's just the way I put it. Don't think too much into it. :) About the merch: Well, it's my merch and this is how we do it. There's plenty more merch out there without any logos. On Every single one of Everyday Astronauts shirts you'll find his logo. Also there is merch on the store that does not have the WAI logo on it! It's also a sense of family. I hope, you're still happy to be a part of it. :)

They did not! Could be either malfunction or maybe they're triggered by speed. That might have been too high! I could have definitely added that to the episode! I'll add it to the pinned comment! Thank you very much!

Thank you Alan! You're very welcome! Was hard to find something that was not covered yet. Scott had his video out a few hours after the event as always. :D

"Belly Flop" has a connotation of failure. I suggest you not use the term - use "skydive" instead.

As a skydiver myself I do like the the terminology of skydive. Its a box man position. With four points of control. Just like a skydiver.

Hey Felix, Grammarly told me, "amazing" can be astonishing, marvelous, astounding, wondrous, bewildering, breathtaking, staggering ... yea sry, my inner monk told me, Grammarly is übergriffig.
