I never knew an orbit isn’t a perfect circle. I love how GROK described science live as the brain child of Roger Billings. I also loved the history of satellites being explained . And how they made the radio was so cool.
Satellites are so cool and how the take pictures are amazing. The pictures they take are gorgeous.
satellites look like starts in the sky to the naked eye
What would we do without satellites and Elon Musk!
the higher into space gravity gets weaker
I just love R 51 he cracks me up
This made me think about space and how things are different. Living on Earth, we forget that we live in a much different world. The biggest difference to me is, there is no air in Space. This hasnt been a interest to me in the past, but after watching I am intrigued to learn more.
New to Acellus and so excited
It’s mind boggling how satellites give us Internet!!
Satellites are so cool!
Satellites are so interesting how does it make internet work?
I love the internet!
Satellites are fascinating
Love hearing about space and satellites.
Tobias is so funny! thankyou so much for this video.
What kind of orbit does a satellite have?
I love satellites, because with out the we wouldn’t have internet
Great work love this video.
When I grow up, I think I’m going to space 🙂 *__*☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
So Cool!!
The further the object is away from Earth the slower it will be. The closer it’s to Earth the faster it will be.
Wow, satellites do a lot of work, just imagine a world without satellites, people would be lost in the woods, and we wouldn’t have GPS.
Science live never ceases to amaze me!
loved this video!!
Amazing
nice
what else do they use satellites for?
I always am so interested in the science videos
TOBIAS IS DEFINITELY HAS TO BE THE FUNNIEST PERSON ON SCIENCE LIVE. THIS WAS A COOL ONE! GREAT JOB DR . B AND LADY PAJET! 🩵👩🏾💻.
I love this Show
Satellites are awesome! What a cool backstory!
cool
Satellites are so cooool!!!!
How do they keep the satellites from hitting each other when they send them up in the air?
Very interesting episodes and one of my favorite ones so far! (also im trying to catch up to the current date ones since i was unable to do so because i was on a Christmas trip so that is why this is an outdated comment)
I always wonder how big a satellite would be if it fell down to earth near me.
satellites are more interesting then i thought
Crazy to think how many satelites there are above us right now.
I love satellites, and Mr Joseph is so funny and awesome!
This was very interesting
Russia is always like “We will beat- er be the first to complete that,” than the others are like “Russia, this is not a race,” Then Russia is like “OK, (≖ ‿ ≖ ),” then the others were like 💀💀💀.
I rewatched this episode three times and finally understand how satellites work!
great info on satellites
I enjoyed this one.
I remember going fishing with my dad at night last summer and seeing these lights in the sky we thought they were shooting stars, but they were satellites it was a big thing everyone was trying to figure out what they were.
How do they correctly place the satellites in space, and how do they fall into orbit?
I learn so many interesting facts from these videos
Its really cool how they can stay up there
How many spacewalks have been done on the ISS?
Awesome! Love space and satelites!!!
This was a great science live
It is incredible how it works !!
i always wondered about these
I learned a lot
this is so cool!
I wish Elon had Starlink available to all of us.
the satellite inventions are useful!!!
How are the satellites so accurate for GPS?
Their are so many satellite’s
Very cool
Elon musk is truly a genius
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.
satellites helped people during Helene
so cool
satellites are nice, complicated but cool. they orbit our earth and provide services.
How do they get into space?
Elon is a smart guy
It was interesting learning about satellites
Fascinating..
love this!
So awesome and exiting
Very interesting
How much does each satellite cost to be made?
Cool demonstration
It is interesting how we use satellite’s.
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.
how often do satellites get sent into space
Its amazing how many satellites there are.
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.
Is there anything Elon Musk can’t do!
cool
The satellite inventions are useful.
That’s very cool
If a satellite breaks how is it repaired
Are satellites able to become grounded again?
How do satellites stay in orbit
Is it possible to build a satellite of your own?
This is so interesting
Satellites are so cool!!
That is really cool
Will there be so many satellite in space someday that they will crash?
interesting. How long did it take you to learn these things?
I liked hearing about satellites and especially the starlink, they’re so interesting
Do you think satellites will ever be obsolete?
r 51 your pony is on your back 😝😜😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣👏😁
How neat is it that you can communicate to a satellite using your phone in case of emergencies!
Satellites are so cool!
I want to learn more about space.
@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
cool! :):):()
nice stuff its educantional okay
What year did the first satellite get put into space?
Cool
I never knew that they were only given 90 days to get a satellite into space.
What year was the first satelite put into space
Very interesting.
Very cool learning about satellites!
I did not know you could see that large satellite station from earth.
Wow it was really intresting to learn
About the satellites
How far away is the sun?
thanks for the update about space🪐🌌🪐🌌🌏🌕🌠☄👽👽👽👽
Love this video
How long does it take to become a scientist?
Woah that’s so cool
What if one of the satellites malfunctions?
I loved this one R-51 is so funny
Wow This Episode was Awesome!!!
Wow this episode was so cool! Satellites are so interesting!
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?
Is that true that there is a lot of old garbage satellites orbiting around the earth?
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!!!!
I love learning about satellites.
WOW!!!!!!
How many GPS satellites are in space right now?
It was super interesting to learn about satellites.
interesting
I’m impressed with how quickly the military created a functioning and data-collecting satellite.
This was super interesting!
I believe I have learned quite a bit about satellites and the Cold War. I have never heard however, of a “saddle-light”.
It’s cool that when objects are close to the Earth they speed up and when objects are farther away they are slower.
That was so great learning about satellites!
Did you know that satellites can travel at around 18,000 miles per hour?
How long was the first satellite in the air
How long did it take for you to learn about sattelites?
How long was the first satellite up in space?
This was cool learning about satelites
This is very interesting!
cool
How are their so many satellities?
if a satellite can see half of the earth why do we need more than 2 satellites in a network?
Its funny how the first rocket was a ballistic missile with a missile for carrying gadgets attached to it
Can satellites throw something to the Earth?
Can something interfere the orbit of satellites?
How can we do maintenance of satellites?
What is the largest satellite ever known?
Space is a cool place.
It won’t let me ask a question. Are they what I see at night moving?
Amazing!
Great live i always enjoy the enthusiasm. loved the misdirection and majic
That is a very cool trick with the ball and the cups
One of my favorites
this was very interesting one loved it
Ccccccccccooooooooooooollllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s why we call it saddle lite now I got to go find my pony ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!
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.
I love everything and everything is so cool
I wonder how much money they need to make these
I wonder how much these machines cost?
love science
this is really cool new information!
I can’t believe there is so much history behind satellites!!
wow awsome keep up the good work😎👽👽👽👽👽🪐🪐🪐🪐
Its cool how the satelites dont fall down to Earth!
I love seeing these!
I didn’t realize how much of an impact satellites had on us. That’s really interesting.
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!
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.
that is cool!
What other uses can a satellite be used for?
How do satellites work?
Space and Satellites have always been interesting to me.
I really like this video I love space its so much fun
I really liked that video- more than the others
I had no idea about the race to get the satellites up!
How is satellites able to send signals from space?
