How is satellites able to send signals from space?
I had no idea about the race to get the satellites up!
I really liked that video- more than the others
I really like this video I love space its so much fun
Space and Satellites have always been interesting to me.
How do satellites work?
What other uses can a satellite be used for?
that is cool!
two years ago researchers at North America state university set new world record for the fastest soft swimming robot and today they said that they broke they’re own record with their new modal of the fast swimming robot.
I love these lives! I cant lie Mr. Tobias always makes me laugh so hard🤣. Satellites really are awesome! And the story behind it is interesting. I remember when I first found out how things like GPS systems used satellites. Very surprising for younger me, pretty cool seeing the whole backstory. Thanks Mr. Tobias!
I didn’t realize how much of an impact satellites had on us. That’s really interesting.
I love seeing these!
Its cool how the satelites dont fall down to Earth!
wow awsome keep up the good work😎👽👽👽👽👽🪐🪐🪐🪐
I can’t believe there is so much history behind satellites!!
this is really cool new information!
love science
I wonder how much these machines cost?
I wonder how much money they need to make these
I love everything and everything is so cool
It is very cool how the satellites are all the way up in the sky and they can send signals down to the GPS systems in our cars.
That’s why we call it saddle lite now I got to go find my pony ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!
Ccccccccccooooooooooooollllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this was very interesting one loved it
One of my favorites
That is a very cool trick with the ball and the cups
Great live i always enjoy the enthusiasm. loved the misdirection and majic
Amazing!
It won’t let me ask a question. Are they what I see at night moving?
Space is a cool place.
What is the largest satellite ever known?
How can we do maintenance of satellites?
Can something interfere the orbit of satellites?
Can satellites throw something to the Earth?
Its funny how the first rocket was a ballistic missile with a missile for carrying gadgets attached to it
if a satellite can see half of the earth why do we need more than 2 satellites in a network?
How are their so many satellities?
cool
This is very interesting!
This was cool learning about satelites
How long was the first satellite up in space?
How long did it take for you to learn about sattelites?
How long was the first satellite in the air
Did you know that satellites can travel at around 18,000 miles per hour?
That was so great learning about satellites!
It’s cool that when objects are close to the Earth they speed up and when objects are farther away they are slower.
I believe I have learned quite a bit about satellites and the Cold War. I have never heard however, of a “saddle-light”.
This was super interesting!
I’m impressed with how quickly the military created a functioning and data-collecting satellite.
interesting
It was super interesting to learn about satellites.
How many GPS satellites are in space right now?
WOW!!!!!!
I love learning about satellites.
Hi, Science Live was wonderful. Fun fact did you know the first dog to go up to space was Laika a street dog from the Soviet union sadly she did not survive but she is a reason we have sattlelites and we can safely travel to space!!!!
Is that true that there is a lot of old garbage satellites orbiting around the earth?
Hi, I’m so excited about the Acellus Gold store to open! I was curious if anyone knew when the Acellus Gold liabrary was going to open for publishing and reading each others books if anyone knows can you say? Thank you! Another thing I was thinking we can add to are profiles on Acellus is maybe like we can put are birthday and favorite color and maybe are school subject so we can find some stuff out about each other almost like the one where we post are mood, future carreir, and favorite weather. I just think it would be a good addition to Acellus does anyone agree?
Wow this episode was so cool! Satellites are so interesting!
Wow This Episode was Awesome!!!
I loved this one R-51 is so funny
What if one of the satellites malfunctions?
Woah that’s so cool
How long does it take to become a scientist?
Love this video
thanks for the update about space🪐🌌🪐🌌🌏🌕🌠☄👽👽👽👽
How far away is the sun?
Wow it was really intresting to learn
About the satellites
I did not know you could see that large satellite station from earth.
Very cool learning about satellites!
Very interesting.
What year was the first satelite put into space
I never knew that they were only given 90 days to get a satellite into space.
Cool
What year did the first satellite get put into space?
nice stuff its educantional okay
cool! :):):()
@Lexi Gibson
The Soviet Union launched the earth’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik I on October 4, 1957 at 7:28 PM
Wow it was two days before my birthday that’s cool for reference my birthday is October 6th
I want to learn more about space.
Satellites are so cool!
How neat is it that you can communicate to a satellite using your phone in case of emergencies!
r 51 your pony is on your back 😝😜😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣👏😁
Do you think satellites will ever be obsolete?
I liked hearing about satellites and especially the starlink, they’re so interesting
interesting. How long did it take you to learn these things?
Will there be so many satellite in space someday that they will crash?
That is really cool
Satellites are so cool!!
This is so interesting
Is it possible to build a satellite of your own?
How do satellites stay in orbit
Are satellites able to become grounded again?
If a satellite breaks how is it repaired
That’s very cool
The satellite inventions are useful.
cool
Is there anything Elon Musk can’t do!
I live in the rio grande valley, about one hour away from Brownsville Tx. Elon Musk has his space x center there. Sometimes we go watch the rockets launch.
Its amazing how many satellites there are.
how often do satellites get sent into space
I always loved Elon and what he does and did. Doesn’t everyone who doesn’t have the knowledge wonder how the first man built a complex object, sent it up to space? And have it analyze our planet? Yes! As always guys taking your time and making great videos. thank you.
It is interesting how we use satellite’s.
Cool demonstration
How much does each satellite cost to be made?
Very interesting
So awesome and exiting
love this!
Fascinating..
It was interesting learning about satellites
Elon is a smart guy
How do they get into space?
satellites are nice, complicated but cool. they orbit our earth and provide services.
so cool
satellites helped people during Helene
I did not realize how detailed making radio waves was and how you have to take an audio wave, copy it and flip it upside down. It seems very complicated.
Elon musk is truly a genius
Very cool
Their are so many satellite’s
How are the satellites so accurate for GPS?
the satellite inventions are useful!!!
I wish Elon had Starlink available to all of us.
this is so cool!
I learned a lot
i always wondered about these
It is incredible how it works !!
This was a great science live
Awesome! Love space and satelites!!!
