@Tom I can hardly put into words how little sense this comment makes. The earth would be moved only by this booster IF he is held. If it wouldnt be held, but would jet off, it would've no influence on the earths rotation at all. So why should´ve "Kris tian" thought that the booster would move the earth if there was nothing to hold it in place? I have never read such a big logic knot in so few letters :D

@Tom who is that "they" you are talking about? You definetly replied to Kris tian. And it is held at rest not by the earth but by a large, purpose-built structure attached to the earth. And because its held back, it definetly has an impact on the earth rotation, as everythin has. even you do a push on the earth by jumping. Its just incredible small, but measurable. So yes it definetly has a push on the earth, but do you mean, that it changes the earths rotaiton drasticly? wtf, you even need 2 + onflight engine to just move a small rocket into space, how can 1 have the tiniest bit of relevant impact on the earths rotation then?

@Tom The person isn't referring to the mountains or the earth, but to the structure built in front of it, to keep the booster from moving, so they can test it Which honestly, I was also thinking the same. Imagine how much force the booster is exerting on that structure, continuosly as the fuel burns, and yet, it resists. It is indeed quite impressive.

The engineer who tied it down slapped the side of it and said "That ain't goin' nowhere."

⁠@@eross.carmona7235I mean, in some jets the engines have only 3 very small attachment points that transfer all the thrust to the frame which is a lot of weight and forward movement for some tiny metal bars, so I def believe smth can hold this back

Lol agreed

But how much did Earth's rotation speed up?

ZingsVideos, was it going in the direction of Earth’s rotation? Maybe it slowed Earth’s rotation! That would be better; there isn’t enough time in the day as it is.

I gotta give it to you man..

if you look very closely it did

Don't give those Rocket scientist any ideas, next thing you know they'll be SLOWING the EARTH'S ROTATION, and Christmas will be in JULY.....

How does it rotate when it's flat?

@@Ben-oni442 space travel is one of the few good things we've actually done as a species and can be proud of.

@@Leo.Wirabuana not gonna work very well because its designed to be a sea level booster. Thats why 2nd stage engines are specially configured for burning in a vacuum. The srb will either be very inefficient or the nozzle will be damaged when it starts bending because of flow separation

@@SD352-68i meant this srb in particular will not work well if its launched in space, as its designed as a sea level booster not a vac engine

This isn't a rocket it's a solid rocket booster, the things on the side of the space shuttle on takeoff?

The cigarette (as well as you) will fly away due to the force of the thrust

But hey, atleast the cigarette was lighted!

@@aircraftsupport5800 I think your skin would melt off before you felt any “thrust”.. watch the gopro video in which the gopro was placed 20 feet away and it got melted

@@robburgundy9539 but yeah, you will melt

It's on Earth in a 12.3 psi air pressure. Chemistry being what it is those propellants would not ignite in the vaccum of space. That's right even though the oxidizer is mixed right with the fuel with no ambient air pressure the molecules don't sustain combustion. Gunpowder doesn't burn in a vacuum of 150k feet equivalent explosive compounds don't explode in even relatively weak vaccums.

That's nothing compared to me after nachos from the company cafeteria;)

I'd absolutely believe it. The Shuttle launches were loud enough to kill you from the pure volume if you were too close, and would drown out the PA system from the launch observation area across the water a good couple miles away.

@@Just_A_Dude Saturn V would liquidfied concrete...and set grass ablaze a mile away.

I was three miles from a shuttle launch, and you could not only hear it, you could feel it. I'm guessing that the vibrations can be felt from many miles away.

Back in the 60s my dad would take me up to the rocket tests at Santa Susanna pass. Incredible power that I can still feel every time I'm reminded of them. Thanks Dad.

Between 5000 and 6000 degrees F. If you look on the Google Earth satellite image of the test stand you can see a conical gouge in the rock downflame from the stand that extends about 400 feet. I would like to have such a setup like this but I think my neighbors might get upset with the noise.

Adam Ash they need the TECHNICAL EXPERTISE to land and reuse.

The SRBs are cheaper to discard than reuse. Not like they have engines or anything, it is just a metal shell that they refill with goop. By the time you recover, examine, clean, and rebuild the srb you are better off making a new one.

Brandon Nixon the point is that SLS continues to use archaic technology. They need to innovate or just leave the market to the new kids. They are wasting our taxes on their “services”.

Exactly. But they continue down this dead end tech-road as if everything is going to be ok. They don’t seem to realize they’re already dead.

flippert0 😂

There are a few clean burning rockets that use hydrogen and oxygen as fuel and only emit water vapor. But unfortunately there isn’t a clean burning alternative to solid rocket boosters that can produce the same amount of thrust.

unaffected

yes... like 1 nanosecond shorter... or longer idk which way it was facing
