As an avid space enthusiast and a dedicated follower of SpaceX, I am deeply disappointed by the recent decision to discontinue live streaming on YouTube. The move to X, while commendable in some aspects, has limited accessibility and quality compared to the widely popular video-sharing platform.

One of the major drawbacks of X is its age restriction policy, across softwares it varies, there's not a confirmed exact age limit as it's different everywhere however X on IOS is available only for users aged 17 and above. It restricts younger generations from experiencing the excitement and wonder of space exploration firsthand. By streaming exclusively on X, SpaceX is inadvertently excluding a significant portion of its potential audience - the very generation that holds immense potential in shaping our future endeavours towards Mars colonization.

Furthermore, X lacks the necessary streaming capabilities and quality that YouTube offers effortlessly. Many people around the world do not have access to technical capabilities like AirPlay or smart TVs required by X for streaming purposes. This limitation forces viewers to compromise their experience by watching streams on smaller screens such as mobile phones or tablets.

By returning to YouTube for live streams, SpaceX can ensure maximum accessibility for all viewers regardless of their age or technical limitations. You can access YouTube from every platform from Roku, FireTV, Xbox, PC, Phone, etc whereas X can only be accessed via Phone/PC. With over 2 billion logged-in monthly users worldwide (source: Statista), YouTube provides an unparalleled reach that no other platform can match.

Not only will this decision benefit existing fans who are accustomed to watching SpaceX launches on YouTube but also attract new enthusiasts who may not be familiar with X or Elon Musk's other ventures. It is crucial for SpaceX's mission to inspire as many people as possible about space exploration and foster a sense of wonder among future generations.

We urge you, Elon Musk and the team at SpaceX, to reconsider your decision and bring back live streams on YouTube alongside X where they rightfully belong. Let us unite under one platform that offers seamless accessibility, high-quality video streaming capabilities, and a global community eager to witness humanity's journey into space.
