VideoFromSpace pairs Roadster thrusters with Scott Kelly's space reflections
The channel's daily views have climbed nearly twelvefold, with Tesla footage standing out beside its astronaut interview and comet explainer.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 4,606,999 views a day, 12 times a normal day (386,349).
The car stands out. VideoFromSpace is drawing roughly 4.6 million views a day across its catalog, while its footage of Tesla's thruster-equipped Roadster approaches six million views.
That upload, "Tesla Unveils 'Flying' Roadster with SpaceX Thrusters", carries Tesla-supplied footage from the vehicle's Texas unveiling. Its description says a SpaceX-developed cold-gas thruster system is designed to let the car fly in short bursts. A separate Short presents the same earthbound departure from the channel's usual launches and orbital life.
But the channel hasn't traded astronauts for automobiles. Its newly posted Scott Kelly interview brings the former NASA astronaut together with editor-in-chief Tariq Malik to reflect on his long stay aboard the International Space Station, NASA's Moon plans and whether he would consider returning to space.
The description also promises Kelly's account of how reading The Right Stuff helped inspire his career. Alongside a new Halley's Comet explainer, it's a reminder of the channel's broader interests: the machines that leave Earth, the people who ride them and the things worth looking up for.
