Bravo! I'm in Seattle WA, and work for Boeing. I've skewered the internet looking for exactly the footage that you shot. DAMN Everyone else had their gear packed up and headed out by the 4 minute mark and I finally found somebody who would have footage right up until Artemis was completely outta sight. which is exactly what I would have done. My hats off to Palm City Florida Channel! Great footage, great drone, great job!
@@borghorsa1902 From the riverbank in Port St. John (Brevard County), we were still looking at it beyond 300 miles downrange. The light went out only when the vehicle dropped below the offshore clouds just above the horizon (i.e., went over the curve of the Earth).
I was stationed in Jacksonville in the early 90’s and saw several space shuttle launches from there. The night launch was spectacular even 140 miles away.
I don't think so because most people who live in Florida especially Canaveral area sure seen many launches and landings over the years. Note: and one catastrophic event of Jan 28, 1986
Nice job! Those camera turns were smooth. This long shot provides a perspective that's rarely recorded. It's something I've been wanting to see. Thank you.
Love this video. I watched it 80+ miles away. That night was clear. The moon was out. Watching this video brings me back to that night for I too watched the thing until I no longer could see it.
In order to go to space don't you have to go up the entire flight and I'm pretty sure after 8 minutes and you still are not in space, you are not going to make it. 11.2 kilometers per second is the speed an object must achieve in order to leave Earth and enter space (escape speed) This rocket did not achieve 11.2 kilometers per second. Not even close. Awesome footage though.
There are two ways to leave Earth. You can go directly as you suggest, but that's wasteful. The other way is to enter into an elliptical orbit, and then use gravity boosts. In this case, you would fly up and then along the curvature of the Earth. This also allows for a check of all systems after a stressful launch so that a decision can be made as to whether the spacecraft should return to the surface or commit to proceeding to the Moon or some other destination away from Earth. If the Artemis didn't achieve escape velocity, as you claim, how did it then orbit the Moon?
You wouldn't got straight for escape velocity, that's just a waste of dV & dangerous. Instead, after booster and core stage seperation the rest coast around Earth in a nominal orbit, about 80 minutes later they light the ICPS stage for 18 minutes leaving Earth's orbit. This way, if something would go wrong in the first part of the mission, you can always do a deorbit burn before the trans lunar injection.
100 miles away and it still lit up the sky, incredible.
This rocket is falling. see the trajectory in the form of a parabola. This never went to the moon, but probably fell into the Bermuda Triangle

I wonder how far was it when it was out of sight?

100 miles away and still looks amazing

Imagine being someone who had absolutely no idea about the artemis launch, and seeing this:

Yep, I've been wanting to see what it looks like un-zoomed. It's usually crazy zooming and bad auto-focus that ruins it.
@@FrankBenlin Agreed.
What a terrific video of the launch. Even a shooting star.
great video. this makes the rocket seem very small and the planet and atmosphere seem very large.
Love this video. I watched it 80+ miles away. That night was clear. The moon was out. Watching this video brings me back to that night for I too watched the thing until I no longer could see it.
Wow! I gotta get me a drone. This is awesome to see Artemis, from a distance. To think most people never bothered to look-up.
Very cool, thanks for posting this! I wish you had two drones, the pother with a narrower field of view :)
That's pretty freakin cool! Nice job
Beautiful!
Cool, didn't know it was visible from that far.

Amaezing
By drone this footage should've gotten much closer if permited.

This rocket never goes to te moon
Very fuckin cool
