I can't read his name without hearing it in his voice:

> Scott Manley here

My wife always comes to sit in the couch when I turn on something from him just to hear the dialect.

His way of saying Mun is the best ever and I'm not sure if it's his dialect or if it comes from playing Kerbal Space Program too much :)

What kind of dialect is it if i may ask? Hearing him for the first time(a year ago or so), i thought he is from England. Really curious as his speech is quite unusual and also pleasant in a way.

Sounds Scottish.

He is from Scotland, and if I recall correctly, currently a greencardholder living in San Fransisco.

Aye. (For Pete's sake, don't call him English!)

Can't find the video, but I believe he's specifically from Edinburgh, as there are many variants of Scottish accents.

As a Scot he definitely sounds Scottish to me but with an overlay of an American accent - can't tell where in Scotland but I would guess East coast. A few of his words sounded fairly broad to me.

I used to watch the ever living daylights out of his channel, but I kinda forgot about Kerbal Space Program for a while. I'm gonna have to pick it up again now get to binging his videos again.

Him saying "Mün" is just one of the best things ever.

he does a lot of space news and rocket videos now; they're very informative

wow! awesome!

You missed the "Hullo"

Fly safe
