Wild isn't it

I remember when the blastoff was the most exciting part.

Agree. Seems like science fiction. I supose the central booster landed safe on the ship too?

@@benjaznow the center core had no grid fins or landing legs, it launched expendable.

@@scolley0616 Thanks 4 the info!. Any plans to make it reusable too?

oh you have absolutely no idea, a hint that its far from easy is the fact that noone is doing it except spacex. nasa has the governments budget and isnt doing it, and also the landing doesnt come just from computers, the invention of raptor engine series was a crucial part and more@amous​

@Jumpingjackflash123well the hardest part from my personal research and non degreed view, would definitely be the throttling and gimbaling of the engines with perfect precision and no variance in thrust delivery. directing it would be the grid fins as mentioned, and a gyroscope.

You are still watching science fiction

​@@watermanglenn1aww someone doesn't like to live in reality and accept the universe around them. Keep living like a neanderthal bro 🙏🏻

And it's not even close. They are more productive than sll of the others combined

My many thanks to the great crew at SpaceX, you guys are out of this world.

Most of them stay in this world🤣

​@@rp4187 and?

@@jacob476it's astounding how a private company can beat the government agencies around the world with a fraction of their budget

I'm right there with you! Hopefully we live to see the day! 🤞🏻

Wasted money...It might be better to spend on SS or elderly people than throw money in this worthless “space exploration “ garbage 🎉!!!!!!! Freaks whealty democreeps go to hell🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

yes.

Absolutely, still looks and seems unreal that it’s possible. Extreme innovation

@@thunderpants007 yes it does. Glad we were here for the beginning of it. Have a good one!!

Agreed, always cool to see a rocket take off

yes.

Cuz musk knows what a man and a woman is

Politics. Elon bought Twitter, stopped the stupid censorship. But the WOKE depends on the censorship for crowd control. Look back at 2023, the wheels have fallen off the bus for the Dems. They can not drive a narrative anymore. If Starship becomes operational then SpaceX owns aerospace. The problem is SpaceX already owns aerospace. Same with Tesla, if they allow FSD even limited with Level 4 autonomy it would be huge. But when you factor the falling prices for Tesla and the expected rise in gas prices with the middle east getting antsy. Tesla already has the best selling car on the planet today. So while the Democrats try to throw monkey wrenches in Elon's path to slow him down. SpaceX & Tesla are already world beaters with the ability to do much more. Watching those booster landings never get old. SpaceX has been doing it for 8 years and I yet to see anyone else even at the test stage. Why is that?

It's probably some kind of Government hostage scenario over control of StarShield deployment... and costs. Nothing, literally nothing is straightforward

Because spacex was incredibly reckless when blowing up the last launched craft of that type. Knew that would likely nneed to destroy the thing and did so at an altitude that would ensure problems upon the "landing" of the wreckage. They found concrete chunks on a beach miles away as well as cincrete and rebard stewn accross tidal flats. A beach used by loggerhead sea turtles, an endangered species. The explosion started started a grass fire in a state park as well. When officials there to investigate we finally allowed in after more than 48 later they found the launch pad had been completely destroyed, which raised suspicion that the pad was not of the necessary construction (no blast channel???) to support such a launch. Thus, a redesign and construction of the pad was begun and would take time. All of this is easily found on the internet but you can't figure out why the delay in launching #2???? Blame is not with any agencies, it's with spacex and it's assumption that they can do what ever they want. Clearly, it can not

@@zekethedego I hope those loggerhead sea turtles know what they are doing... and hurry up about it.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

elon needs to buy FAA, (joke)

yes.

Psyche is the name of the "weird metal asteroid".

I think it's because this was a NASA launch not a SpaceX.

i’m so glad people your age appreciate this

Re-enters the atmosphere... breaks up... remnants land in the ocean and are now at the bottom of the sea.

Its on X now

@@michubern1444 Thanks

What nonsense. Asteroid mining is many decades away. The Pysche mission is to study a strange relic from the dawn of the solar system. The mission to Bennu was to obtain a pristine sample of primordial material (and Bennu is pretty worthless anyway - it's just a gravel pile) Nobody thinks it possible to make any money out of asteroids in the foreseeable future.

They are on x now

It's called trying to reduce costs

@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo By re-building the launch pad after every attempt? By utterly ignoring 60 years worth of data and successful working out of what it takes to make a pad capable of surviving these kinds of forces? The last launch required 100 million in repairs and set back his goals by a year. And you call the reducing costs. A rapidly reusable PAD was figured out 20 years before Musk was born. His design has to be repainted after even the most minor test fire.

@@christopherpardell4418 I don't think NASA launches rockets from ocean surrounded landing pads. And I'm sure Spacex has mentioned launching from sea based platforms for their passenger space ships.

@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo Musk has mentioned a lot of hare brained ideas. But what he has built is a launch pad that hasn’t survived a single launch Nor even test firing intact. Ever other country that has orbital launch capability has been able to build a reusable launch pad, relying on the wealth of tried and tested experience in both NASA and Soviet design solutions. His idea of ocean based launch platforms would certainly add cost and complexity, and all would have to be at least 12 miles offshore because getting license to conduct launches from such platforms is just as difficult as getting ACOE approval. Rapid iteration and redesign work great for designing something as cheap as a rocket. Ever rocket, after all, is entirely newly built anyway. But launch infrastructure is too slow and too costly to build an entire new design each time your old design proves bad. Thus Musk s on his 25th version of the rocket, but has built only One launch mount. Rather than redesign it from scratch, as spaceX does with starships, all he can do is try Adding on ‘fixes’ hoping those fixes will solve an inherently bad design. The solution is already well known. Lateral water deluge, a flame diverter,and a flame trench to channel the basting forces away. But Musk did it want to get the ACOE approval such a project requires, and he has Still not built a proper deluge, diverter, or flame trench.
