  • SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida yesterday carrying its first payload -- a red Tesla roadster -- into orbit. Loren Grush spoke to CEO Elon Musk about the launch and what this means for the future of space travel, as well as Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye. The Falcon Heavy now holds the title for the world’s most powerful rocket, and its launch marks the first time a vehicle this massive has ever been sent up by a commercial company.

      The test failed.
      The only worthwhile part of SpaceX is that it is supposed to land again. It crashed. 2 small mini-rockets landed safely. The biggest part of the SpaceX rocket crashed into the sea at 300mph, damaging its drone-ship engines. Probably still floating there. SpaceX cut the livefeed and fudged over it, lying to their viewers, admitting it later after the big headlines of 'success' were already the story of the day. It failed, they knew it at the time, but most people won't hear about that now. This technology will be obsolete by the time Elon Musk figures out how to stop crashing them.
      Another massive carbon footprint - 400,000 kg of CO2 - equivalent pollution to 1 diesel car driving a million miles, in a couple of minutes (and no. It is not hydrogen and oxygen. It is kerosene with a massive carbon footprint.) He sent up 18 of these last year - 18 cars driving for a million miles - 7,200,000 kg of CO2. His electric cars are not going to take that carbon out of the atmosphere. It'll be there for decades. All for his silly playboy toy. Him and Richard Branson should find something better to do.
      ""During the news conference, Musk said the booster hit the water at a speed of about 300 mph and was about 328 feet away from the floating platform, taking out two of the drone ship's thrusters and showering the deck with shrapnel.""

    Guys, to put this in perspective: when FH was announced, SpaceX had never landed a booster. Their goals were insane. When it was delayed and delayed many people thought that it could never fly. Then, a booster was landed. Then another, and another. The Heavy became viable. Then, before all the hype, the payload was announced: a red Tesla Roadster, destined for Mars. The rocket launched, broke at least 10 world records, and sent a car out into the asteroid belt. Don't forget that five years ago this was impossible.

    Honestly, what I love about Elon is he just truly seems like a down to earth guy and I know people say don’t meet your heroes but I feel like he wouldn’t let me down. He’s a human being, you can tell he’s nervous in front of crowds just as we all would be and that sense of passion is something I have been searching for to reinvigorate a new space race.
    I see so many bitter comments which is disheartening, how do you think you are able to stream videos, listen to music, travel and survive crashes, live in a high rise that can survive massive earthquakes, be warned of various natural disasters? The innovators, the teams of people throughout human history that sought to find answers that no one else ever had and they did it through trial and error. Every experiment leads to a new dataset to be studied that adds another puzzle piece that eventually becomes something that can be stable and improved upon from a basic blueprint that expands throughout the entirety of mathematics and the sciences that make the modern world such a fantastic place.

    • @Diamondragan
      @Diamondragan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      3:05-3:46 bad background noise
      5:37-5:45 the video is spent watching Loren during early ascension
      These were pretty apparent on first/only view. I'm no video editor, but as a person watching this, it's a bit of a let down. For a video about a new rocket, I think that Loren gets an absurd amount of camera time.

    • @zapatka
      @zapatka 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Diamondragan Diamondragan hey! If you wanted to watch the full launch, I’d highly recommend viewing it on SpaceXs TH-cam. As for the bill nye interview, the hotel turned on the waterfalls by the pool right before we started rolling. Oh well!

    • @Diamondragan
      @Diamondragan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would like to be a bit more specific. The background noise wasn't handled very well by the hardware, I assume. There are additional glitchy noises in the background that stand out from the waterfalls. They sound artificial. I feel like "superb" audio and editing could have attended to that.
      I feel like unabated praise takes the value away from itself. It's spoken without doubt or hesitation. There are people who use their time to rain on the parades of others for their personal entertainment, but that's not what I'm doing. I feel like something is being taken away by the use of the superlative here. In that way, the overly positive commentary is actually disappointing, as if something communicated so easily and with such intensity could be taken seriously or reflect a thorough consideration of the subject matter. It reads shallow.
      "Loren Grush on Falcon Heavy Launch w/Elon Musk, Bill Nye" would have set a more appropriate expectation for the video. I do not follow The Verge. This video was trending, and I have more of an interest in technology than other things. This was my first exposure to this news. There is too much footage of the launch and edited cuts of the geography around it for it to be parked behind the host during one of the most intense parts of the ascension. The current title, "Elon Musk on how Falcon Heavy will change space travel", sets up the video to be an interview with the focus on Elon Musk (mentioned first) and Falcon Heavy (mentioned second). Loren is not featured in the title. In order to have appropriate expectations of the video, I would have needed additional information or perhaps better viewing history/knowledge of The Verge.
      Your response leads me to believe that my pleas do not fall on deaf ears, unless you are accustomed to remaining polite despite how you might have felt given the criticism. I hope this finds you well.

    • @zapatka
      @zapatka 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Diamondragan I like engaging our viewers on videos. Christian and I, the two directors on this video, were definitely not striving for perfection in this video. Many things went wrong, including audio issues and gear malfunctions. We went down originally expecting to shoot a very scripted piece and it evolved into something much more organic as we started gaining access to people to interview, especially Elon, who we didn’t know we were interviewing until hours before.
      In many ways, the efforts taken to get this video up in a timely manner meant spending less time on color correct and audio.
      In terms of Loren being on screen, she is a very prominent space reporter, and we were following a similar model to her show, Spacecraft, which she hosts (and why the graphic at the front is “Falcon Heavy with Loren Grush”, in the same graphic treatment as the Spacecraft show. We definitely intended this video to cater to her core audience, but it quickly gained traction since it’s the first video about Falcon Heavy that isn’t strictly about the launch from beginning to end.
      Either way, thanks for your comments! It’s all helpful, and they definitely don’t fall on deaf ears.

    Musk>>>>> Stark.... Real Life Iron Man.... Salute.... 👏👏👏

      Stark is more of a Howard Hughes (google him) type.

    • @niki123489
      @niki123489 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Musk is better than Stark. Stark creates weapons to sell and make money.

    I've never cried from a rocket launch before. God damn, this is such a pivotal moment in the history of spaceflight. Just can't wait for folks from my generation to foray into the world of Space Exploration -- the amount of inspiration radiated from this launch will keep giving back in decades to come. Great job on the video BTW, absolutely adore Loren's reporting!
