R51 is so funny
I liked learning about the super sonic jets.
The first batteries were amazing because some were made with alcohol in them.
The metal ball that reacted to electrical curents was very interesting.
is the x-59 safe and can the sonic boom created by going hypersonic truly be fully removed?
Happy Thanksgiving! One of the things I’m grateful of being able to have Acellus!
Using he cameras instead of a windshield to see the runway on the X-59 is genius!
I really enjoyed watching this, thanks!
Calling a UFO with Morse code.
i love R51 lol
Science Lives Rock!!
Happy late Thanksgiving everyone!
How long did it take for the x-59 to get to being able to do its first test flight
love pajet on the show!
Great video!! Happy thanksgiving!!!!
Very interesting to learn how things were invvented – often we don’t even think about it and just use it.
Thank you Dr. B for making these video.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DR B AND TEAM!!!!!!
I love Thanksgiving too. My mom cooked a lot of food for the family.
Hi Dr. Roger Billings. This Wednesday Class was so interesting. I liked to learn about the invention of battries with Dr. Jhon.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
The UFO coming made me laugh! I enjoyed another great lesson!
Great R51 segment today, very funny!
Is the jets nose hollow so it doesn’t slow it down?
R51 is the best he always makes me laugh
Happy Thanksgiving, I am grateful for Acellus this year!
Science Live is so enjoyable! I love watching these!
how long did it take to build the first jet airplane ✈️ 🤔
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃everyone
I learned that inventioneering is about using creativity and problem solving to design a new idea.
R51 is so funny
It’s interesting how changing the shape of the nose can prevent a jet from creating a sonic boom.
science live rocks
I love R-51 T^T
I thought it was cool that Roger Billings got to fly in an airplane.
Why would touching your tongue to a battery shock you?
Happy Thanksgiving! excited to watch another live!
I never knew that planes could go faster than the speed of sound! Very interesting!
The way Lady Pajet just quickly said “barf bag” made me laugh, along with what happened between Dr. Billings and the other winners vs the pilot.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y’ALL 🍁🦃🍽 🎊🎉😜😉🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Happy (late) Thanksgiving! Science Live is so awesome.
Enjoyed watching this science live event. Made me laugh in some parts.
YES! Thank you, Dr. Billings and Pajet! That was a super cool message. I appreciate the entire Acellus Team because you make my school day fly by and actually teach stuff I want to know. Have a great holiday!
science live is amazing thank you so much
It was interesting to learn how batteries got their name!
It’s amazing on how they are working on tuning down the noise so the planes can fly even faster.
I enjoyed learning about the jets and how they land without being able to see past the nose.
I love learning how things were created! Happy thanksgiving!
I never knew the nose on the Concord jets moved during take off and landing. The HD screen on the X59 is such a clever solution to keep the plane aerodynamic.
Thanks, Dr. Billings and Pajet, for the awesome Thanksgiving message! It totally reminds me to be grateful. The Acellus Team is the best—they make education super fun to learn!
Science live is the best and so interesting.
Happy thanksgiving! I love science.
Dr. Billings could the plane have been an AC-130?
I think the inventioneering programs are great and very helpful
R51 is so funny Lol XD
Happy thanksgiving everyone, I love learning about where things originate from.
This thanksgiving i am greatful for these lives!
Thank you for telling us about the first radio and the first battery. I learned alot. Thank you for Science Live.♥️❤️❤️❤️
I liked that the video explained inventing as a step-by-step process instead of random luck.
Dr. B thank you for make these videos, they help us learn new thing.
I liked how the video showed that inventions usually start with noticing everyday problems.
I liked seeing how inventors test ideas and change them—it felt like how you level up in games.
I’m thankful for watching science live every week! happy late thanksgiving!
Thank you for this video, happy Thanksgiving for all the Acellus family.
Happy Thanksgiving! I love this video, it was very interesting, thank you.
R51 is hilarious
Hydrogen is such a GAS!! LOL
Inventioneering is combining inventing and engineerig to create practical, real- world solutions.
This science live was so funny.
Happy thanks giving! I’m glad to be here. How does the X-59 spread out the sound of the big boom?
The 180 degrees joke was pretty funny, happy thanksgiving.
R51 might be the coolest man and the most funny [;
Happy Thanksgiving. I am very grateful for Acellus and Science Live.💗
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for recording the LIVE for us this week.
Happy Thanksgiving, R51 was so cool!
Hey, I’m from Arkansas. i say this every week but huge r51 fan. Comment on my post if you like the r51 part!
Hello from Georgia!
r51 is funny .NEED A MORCE CODE CLASS!!!!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving.
I loved learning the history of how batteries invented.
I liked the batteries. R51 is my favorite part every week!
Dr. B is a really interesting man and I really enjoy watching every single video each week.
I heard a sonic boom once from an airforce jet. It was very loud.
R51 is hilarious!
Ben Franklin was curious about everything and that led to inventions.
Doesn’t splitting water molecules require a significant amount of energy?
R51 is really funny
Having a heat seeking missile see you and track you must have been a bit terrifying.
Thank you, Lady Pajet, for your words on gratitude. It is sometimes difficult to be grateful. It’s too easy to focus on the negative things. It takes practice, at least for me, to be grateful.
I love science live so much. I like to learn. Every week I get my life brightened by R51.
I really enjoyed learning about how Laden jars helped create batteries! That’s so cool!
I’m so thankful for science live! I was able to understand knew things that I never knew at my old school!! I really appreciate science live!!
I didn’t know that batteries were made because of the laden jar! That’s really cool!!
I really enjoyed this episode the jokes were even funnier this time around much love from Virginia
Could you add some sort of music lessons in the learning activities area?
Thank you for clarifying how to get credit for Science Live!
I love the R51; it was funny. I watched it twice. Thank you, Acellus.
I am thankful for science live!
The long nose on the X-59 is kind of funny.
what year in the 1700’s was the Leyden jar most used?
r51 is smart
I think that Rodger Billings is an extremely intelligent man.
I am grateful for science live, getting the chance to learn something new every week. Thank you for giving everyone the opportunity to listen to these every week.
I really found the plane part interesting(I look forward to more related to it), as well as R-51.
Science live is always so cool. I know things now I never knew before!
science live help me a lots in my study. Thanks Dr. Roger Billings!
I think R51 is funny
thank you for teaching me so much this week!
R51 is soooooo good!!! I love it 🙂
Good Morning! From Illinois
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus! This science live was so interesting!
I’ve heard the sonic boom when we lived in California on base and down at the beach for an air show.
I did not know electricity flows from negative to positive charge.
I think it is cool Ben Franklin invented the first electrical batteries by putting together a lot of Leyden jars together.
What would happen if the outer and inner conductors in the Leyden jar were accidentally connected while it is fully charged?
Amazing Science Live Guys!!
I am so thankful for Acellus! I learn so much listening to Science Live. Happy Thanksgiving. My family and I are grateful for you all.
Didnt know the battery was made from the idea of electricity in a bottle.
I really enjoy all the activities. I love to see other classmates reach their goals.
Wow! This science live was fun! I loved R51! : )
Imagine if we didn’t have electricity. That would be crazy!
Interesting and informative as always! Although My family doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving as we don’t live in the US, I hope your holiday is lovely and I am wishing everyone all the best!
This is interesting! Thanks coming from Florida.
R51 is the GOAT.
R51 always knows how to make me laugh! I love science live!
The NASA test flight was cool.
How old were you when you went on the navy cruise?
-BATTERY QUESTIONS-
What happens when you drop batteries into Dry Ice?
Why do batteries explode in fires?
Do batteries contain carbon dioxide?
Is the battery going to be used in the future? Or will it be replaced?
-ACELLUS QUESTION-
If it is the holidays, and a science live is on that day, would we have to attend?
What would happen if we missed a week of classes?
-ROGER BILLINGS QUESTION-
I sometimes don’t think I can invent, mostly because I feel burned out, or just discouraged. How would I find that inspiration again?
I love space! Hope you y’all had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thank you for the science lives!
R51 so funny I laugh XD
Happy thanksgiving!! I am grateful for Acellus Academy And im grateful for my teachers.
Please could we have an episode about jet engines? They are incredible.

Ezekiel F. Happy Thanksgiving I am thankful to be able to learn at my own pace.
Its cool to think that all inventions need some kind of engineering behind it
I want R51 to teach us more about Morse code.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I love watching these
I like reaching my daily goals and checking my classmates achievements.
I think the battery part was so interesting! By the way, Happy Thanksgiving y’all! Hope you have the best one in your life!
Thanks for the great news about the NASA test flight!
I enjoyed learning about the X-59 supersonic aircraft. Could you also let us know when it will actually go supersonic?
I hope one day you guys have a class on morse code. Also, Happy Thanksgiving!
When I first saw the “expert’s book, I first thought of socks as A sock, not a dog. Who knew?

I’m glad you mentioned that we should watch Science Live at least 75% of the time in this video since before I didn’t know if missing it once would cancel the scholership for the month.
The histories of batteries are very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing!
This weeks live was great. Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Science live teaches me so many things
The front/nose on the X59 reminded me of a stork. It was cool to see the X59 in the video and learn about it
