“I could put up a video of………but this is way cooler.”
Understatement of the week….
💯
Absolutely. You nailed it.!!😁
Ok buts what's cooler than Rockets lil jelly no?
Just show some more....... was pretty cool too
The fact that SpaceX managed to keep the telemetry and video bandwidth that they had was absolutely amazing... Sending that much data through the small hole they punched in the atmosphere with that much plasma around Starship is a huge kudos to Starlink and its capabilities...
Yeah... amazing. Isn't. It. 🤫
@@dirtdiggity1714 _PLEASE_ don't tell me your one of those _"We never went to space"_ people.... 😒
FR! I thought reentry meant a comms blackout but not in this case it seems
@@user-ce7ic1ze2uthis system is using Starlink satellites which are above the above to keep comms going. The plasma is primarily at the front/bottom of the craft.
@@user-ce7ic1ze2uthe big difference is every other space ship has tried to communicate directly with the ground. Starship was communicating through starlink above it. So it was firing the other direction
Voyager has been such an amazing project. 💪
NASA did - and by all accounts, still does - know how to make superior space probes.
@@HuntingTarg Yeah, they're really good when not being hamstrung by Congress trying to get pork to certain districts.
It would be great if it's a just age or a cosmic ray taking out memory, which was anticipated from the beginning of the project build, and it's so old and basic computer builds it can be worked around.
Scott, please reframe the Dark Bramble poster behind you, it is slipping in the glass!
Thanks. Now I can't unsee it. 🤣
@@MediaWML Don't feel bad... I can't unsee that Scott's a *Sith Lord!* 😦
_(Vader figurine, Vader's Tie Fighter image/box [I think?; on the left wall shelf], and Vader's Lightsaber)_
Yea yea, should've seen it coming, being he rocks Vader's hair style, but still... he's such a nice guy! lol
I guess it was the cookies that did it.... 😅
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE Vader's hair style lol
I hadn't realized Scott was an Outer Wilds fan!
Hehehehe...OCD much?
It's amazing that voyager is even alive let alone able to communicate with its 1970s computer....
This is possible because electronics were not so miniaturized back then and are therefore less susceptible to damage from cosmic radiation.
Notice the grid fins started moving far more after Stage 1 dropped under a cloud layer at 4:21 (or 6:46 into the flight). As I recall, the area had both high shear and an inversion layer that could have topped around the 5km cloud layer. So it may not have been a stuck grid fin like Booster 4.
It could actually be stuck griffin as at this altitude aerodynamic control have enough air to "bite in"
too many unicorns to have a stuck griffin@@just_archan
Grid fins were doing the guidance the engines should have been doing by that time
That plasma footage! ♥
Dont think anything like that's ever been recorded before!!
Definitely good for science!
There is footage from tail fin top camera mounted on one of the Space Shuttle flights that captured the plasma flow around one of the STS's during its reentry.
@@davecrupel2817 It's a first for this quality of view. Thanks to Starship being larger, and having Starlinks overhead to sneak a signal out of the plasma field.
From Spaceshuttle days, there are a couple of forward views, but video is only ~500-600 pixels, not HD high contrast.
@@AerialWaviator Id rather see it from an angle like this anyway!
Better to catch the angles of deflection, any possible oscillations of the plasma, and such.
@@CumulusGranitis Oh yeah. I remember seeing that. That too was amazeballs.
Starship entry footage is a beautiful thing thing to watch, just like the views of earth from the wing of starship. I loved watching the surface and the clouds and the oceans zipping by like that.
The Starship tumbling reminded me of Neil Armstrong in Gemini 8, in which Gemini docked with Agena and also began tumbling. Armstron eventually undocked as the Gemini continued to tumble. Armstrong used the RCS to bring Gemini under control and renter the atmosphere as it safely splashed down. It was determined the Gemini's attitude control thruster malfunvtioned that caused the cemini and Agena to tumble, which was remedied by undocling and RSC. Its one of my favorite space stories.. well, that and the SCE to AUX. Thx for the video, Love these updates!
Flew to the US yesterday for the eclipse, decided to include a visit to KSC beforehand, and now hopefully I will be seeing the Delta IV launch on thursday as my first ever live rocket launch 😎🤓
Good luck wijzeheinvanderveen. Hope you succeed. I have seen two Totals and they are a most awesome experience. 😀
Hey Scott, Booster 10 did a 33 engine static fire on December 29th. SpaceX has never done a full up static fire with a full stack, only WDRs. Also, Dragon has launched from SLC-40 before but this was the first Dragon 2 (the last dragon to launch from slc-40 since CRS-20. ❤
🍻
People should be aware of the severe traffic jams that will occur after the eclipse. My family traveled to Wyoming for the last total eclipse in the US. It took us 3 hours to get there and 6 hours back. We were lucky as I took a dirt road path for the first 40 miles which saved us hours. Friends that left with us took over 8 hours to get back using highways. Multiple hours of stop and go traffic turns people insane. It's well worth it to spend an extra day before trying to drive out.
I can confirm that, we were in Wyoming in 2017. A 4 hour drive down from Sundance to Jay Em. Then a Six hour drive back to Sundance.
We also experience the same in Chile in 2019. Two hour drive up to the ESO at La Silla from La Serena, a 6 hour drive back at 15 to 20 kph. With the odd idiot racing up the shoulder at 60 to 100 kph. Only down side in La Serena ... it is a summer tourist place. NO heat in any of the hotels or BnB's.
One of the things about everyone using Garmin, Mapquest, Apple and Google Maps. ( Waze was barely a start up at the time.) I once chose to leave Atlanta going west on I-20 to get away from traffic leaving the old stadium and they were all routed south on the other highway ramps out of downtown. You are joining a queue that's all based on time or shortest distance to destination.
Scott, periapsis and apoapsis are both Greek in origin. Peri means near or around (think "perimeter") while apo means far (roughly).
Scott, I love your space updates. One correction: Chandra telescope went up on shuttle flight STS-93 (not STS-97)
Another. 10:12 Dragons used to fly out of SLC40 until about 4 years ago I think. I think this was the first flight of a Dragon *2* out of SLC40.
14:25 Sorry Scott, but Booster 10 did complete a static fire before IFT-3, in fact it was a longer duration firing than IFT-1, and IFT-2. B10 did a full 10 second static fire test.
I thought he meant fully stacked static fire
@@neoleo690 that'd be more confusing, SpaceX doesn't static fire with a full stack. The only time they fire the boosters engines with a ship stacked on top us when they launch.
So it never completed a static fire @@AlienVibesss
11:50 got me. Perfect way to sum it up
Well it seems like rocket surgery is still hard AF
Starship is the equivalent of a brain transplant!
much harder than brain launching
It always has. NASA and other agencies didn't progressed for long time with experiments, reusing where was possible flight proven hardware. Didn't pushed boundaries so theoretical models are just approximated. Ie second stage of SLS is just slightly modified delta stage. Centaur (second stage of vulcan) was developed in sixties. Boosters and main engines for SLS are from late seventies. Just modified. And expensive.
I don't blame NASA for that. It's politically motivated to do this that way. Going over budget create just slight inconvenience. Misshaps and failures even during tests can cancel programs because politicians. And if you can't push to limits, you don't know where are those limits.
NASA due to political restrictions also has to distribute projects to multiple contractors, just to get enough votes for budget. This is making any changes to initial project very hard. SpaceX can make radical changes on short notice. This is how they can reduce cost as much. It can push to limits and testing on basis of most "optimistic" models, and fixing everything if something just didn't work. NASA have to prepare for most pessimistic models I hope that will work.
Musk is doing good work.
I still can’t get over that starship reentry footage. That was the first time we were able to directly see plasma buildup on the heat shield of any spacecraft. We’ve only ever seen the trail left behind until now.
Scott, Great Show AGAIN AND YES. Why not play the Starship Launch the WHOLE TIME> LOL
You'll love Fredericksburg, Scott. It's a lovely little town. It's also happening during bluebonnet season, which in the Texas Hill Country is always a spectacular show. So, when you're not looking up, be sure and look down.
I recommend stopping by the War in the Pacific museum while you're there.
Was great to see you cover this with marcus on cains channel a few days ago,three fave guys together as far as space flight and info goes,ill give marcus a heads up as he's not used to live play as he edits all his videos on non live feed after the fact.
Thanks for the updates, Scott! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
5 stars for the Kairos explosion, very awesome RUD! 🔥
As always - thanks Scott! Love these updates!
Great update video Scott, have fun at the VIPER build.
I was able to see the dusk starlink launch in San Diego. INCREDIBLE!!!
Thanks, Scott, for another rapid-fire update on space.
Entertaining and so informative post. Thank you Scott! You just earned a subscriber.
That Outer Wilds t-shirt looks great! I'm getting one.
Thanks for the update! When do you think you might start saving air time by listing the days that did _not_ have a Starlink launch? 😂
SPX CRS-30 was the first Dragon 2 mission to launch from SLC40. On the other hand, of the 20 Dragon 1 missions that docked to the ISS, only 3 launched from LC-39A.
Timestamp of the mistake: 10:15
That forst space ship exploded like a fire work.
Scott, nobody can answer this question that has been lingering in my mind forever: Are liquid O2 and liquid CH4 miscible with one another? Would they combine, freeze the other, separate after time or react on contact?
I think you need to ask Explosions and Fire
@@scottmanley Ahh, that's a great idea! It'd be just like that time he poured liquid ozone onto a small piece of Styrofoam!
That was the 1st time I've seen Ozone liquified. It was a magical hue of purple, like a tasty artificial grape flavored kool-aid.@@GregBadabinski
@@GregBadabinski yes I remember that…..
Tom's on Scott's radar??? *_HELL_* yea!! That's awesome 🤘
I am going to love seeing your reaction to the video when Starship has a successful reentry.
They have some vineyards and great sausage in Friedricksburg you might want to partake in.
They also have the National Museum of the Pacific War, and Admiral Chester Nimitz's childhood home.
If they ever actually get it back without RUD
Hi Scott!
Fly safe!
Thanks Scott!
You are a great 'Rocket Nerd". I enjoy watching.
Nice! Thanks, Scott!
i was amazed by the spacex broadcast. to make it look that smooth, that interesting, with unparalleled insights due to commentary, telemetry and stunning views. done live! felt like a new era of broadcasting
I will be in Killeen Texas. Flying in from Oregon. Can't wait!
Thanks Scott
Good luck in Fredericksburg. It's going to be a zoo of massive proportion since it's such a popular tourist TRAP. Seriously that place will be a zoo. But lucky me. I'm in the path of totality on my front porch and live in a small town outside of Dallas. Now if the weather will cooperate.🤞
A deep space update is the best birthday present I could've imagined
Happy birthday!
Expecting the fourth one to burn down, fall over and then sink into the swamp.
Oh no, that’s castles. As you were
I may have hallucinated this, but I seem to recall hearing a "FTS safed" callout sometime after Super Heavy boostback but before telemetry was lost. If I heard this correctly, then Super Heavy RUD probably was not due to the FTS. Commenters: please correct me if I'm mistaken on this.
I think you are correct. Contributing to the RUD could be that it was still Supersonic just decelerating to trans sonic. For rocket that is roughly 10 meters wide, that is a massive Max Q pressure building up under that blunt tail section. I think the next flight "may" include a Reentry Burn so that Super Heavy goes trans sonic much higher in the atmosphere and at lower speed and their for lower pressures on the base of the vehicle.
Awesome update, Scott. And congrats on the live stream invite.
He's getting famous off the back of us
But its all a scam so he can get free Lego for his live stream builds
".... some of the most spectacular footage we have ever seen in the history of rocket science!" .. that is just Brilliant !!! As usual Scott, another 1st class report! Very well done.
Was starship's nose actually pressurised above atmospheric pressure? I assumed it wasn't pressurised at sea level, just the gas got trapped inside.
Thumbs up fpr leaving the reentry footage on! Feels like you read my thoughts there.
"...but this is way cooler." is almost an understatement...... and I'm such a child.
Watching the return someone said "we still have telemetry because it's puching a hole in the plasma is creating". I was bobbing in the chair laughing like a toddler.
Charming ending❤
Great video, Scott...👍
I drove to Idaho in 2017 and slept in my car to see the eclipse.
I'll be driving to Texas to do the same next month. Here's hoping the sky is clear!
The main problem from launching from Australia is that the direction is not up, but down.
Why don't they just drop the satellite?
@@benjaminhanke79Fantastic idea!
Have fun with the Solar eclipse, I flew up from Perth Australia to Exmouth on 20 April 2023, with the wife and our Boxer dog, and we all watched it while laying on the grass at the airport besides our aircraft. Good times. So as you are a new pilot too, you should do the same ;)
Now that is one very cool way to seen an eclipse.
@@CumulusGranitisYes it was, with all the roads blocked for miles and miles, we justflew over it all in our J230D and touchiung down at YEXM just 1/2 hour before the eclipse, taxied in, put down the rug on the grass and watched. 1/2 laters back into the aircraft heading south ;) The Solar eclipse great.
If Scott flies to Exmouth with your wife and Boxer he'll miss the eclipse in NA ;)
Sounds like it would have been awesome 👌
Thank sfor the update on the past week's activities. A minor detail, Falcon 9 did not leave much of a smoke trail, as you know, Scott, it was the exhaust water condensate that makes up most of the plume we saw.
I'm about 30 miles north of Dallas and without going anywhere other than the front of my home I will have almost 3 minutes of totality for the big eclipse. That's providing it isn't cloudy. I've seen chances of visibility as low as 13% due to cloudiness. I've even seen the possibility the entire eclipse path being clouded. There are things going on in the Pacific shaping up.
Having said that I would love the opportunity of the two once in a lifetime eclipses. I went to Nebraska for the 2017 total eclipse. And it was perfect.
Great reports Scott.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. I mean everyone.
Same here. Live in north Dallas and went to Nebraska for the last one. I'll definitely be driving down south of town for the max totality; It's so rare you really want to get every second you can. Just got my eclipse glasses out of storage, now to obsess over the weather forecast...
@@zacklewis342 Well even if it is cloudy and a person can't run to a potential clear spot, on a cloudy day at the time of max eclipse in the early afternoon it will be nearly as dark as night. That is also something to see on a bright day!!
As I always say... be safe.
We were in SE Wyoming in 2017. Absolutely worth the effort to get their for 2 minutes 30 of Totality. Hope you have a cloud free day. Best wishes.
@@CumulusGranitis Luckily there were a small band of clouds between where you were and middle Nebraska. I was actually intending southwestern Nebraska but as I neared the location I originally chose I could see the clouds. So I turned around and went back east. The new location was perfect and the clouds didn't get there until the eclipse finished!!
I'm on a tour from the UK and will be at Waxahachie, just South of Dallas. 4m17s.
This will be my second totality, the first was Devon in 1999, completely clouded. Impressive but not the same.
If this doesn't work there's Luxor in 2027, cloud probability 0%
Chris
Scott, I'd like to see you do a brief account of your bookshelf.
After it exploded you could still see the engine firing and the remains continue upward!
Fly safe Scott! TFS, GB :)
Great episode covering a lot of space topics.
Regarding the upcoming the upcoming solar eclipse: If in Fredericksburg , highly recommend taking visiting the Pacific War Museum there (worth all the time you can spend!).
What did I see on the evening of the 18th in Mission Viejo, south Orange County California? Whatever it was, it was a spectacular after sunset launch of something. The plum was still brightly illuminated while it was dusk on the ground. It was really cool. I'd have sworn it was heading south, whatever it was...
Garrison Brothers Distillery is a great spot near Fredericksburg!
Oh man exciting about the eclipse! Long time viewer of both you and Tim and we'll happen to be in Fredericksburg as well. I'm sure there's a thousand places people could be, but we're going to be at an RV park there. Here's hoping for great weather
Starship liftoff of the booster was a pretty dirty burn. (T0 to to +1:00).
I suspect the failed "spez dispenser" door vent to atmosphere might of created the spin? I don't know. The spin started around the opening but I don't know if it is related?
I'm still waiting for v2 to show some sky.
"Live and let fly" 😂
🤣😂
In my opinion, Super Heavy + Starship is NOW the heaviest rocket launched into space.Up till this point, it was the Saturn 5 that held that position. If I don't give it to them, then I would just be splitting hairs.
Scott, the month isn't even over yet, you're way too early with this!
No mention of ABL Space? Their launch (#2) comes up pretty quickly. My office overlooks Wallops Is. (MARS), and I found out my neighbor is LD (Launch Director) for ABL, he's in Kodiak right now, leading the charge! Praying for success for them this go around, another up and comer, eh?
If the need a mishap report any time things don't go according to plan, then the plan should be "Don't blow up stage zero (and collected data from whatever else happens)."
I don't even understand what the issue is here. It seems they just have to report what "mishap" happened, as far as they know, and what they do as "mitigation" in the next try. Then the FAA can't do much else than to rubber stamp that report. Don't know why they want more funding for that.
@@cube2fox you could look it up. it's the first result if you search for "FAA seek new funding" - and it goes into quite a lot more detail - but the essence is "there's a lot more to it than you think"
@@cube2fox The issue with the FAA is: what justification do they have for requiring _anything at all_ of SpaceX? Unless they can affirmatively justify inserting themselves into the situation, they should have no more say than I do. If SpaceX wants to intentionally blow up a Starship as the worlds most expensive firework, maybe the ATF would have something to say about that, the FAA should just issue the NOTAR.
At most, the only thing SpaceX should have to show the FAA is that nothing unexpected was put at risk (and something was, even everything "going according to plan" shouldn't keep the FAA out). You could make a case that SpaceX should be expected to show that nothing happened that wasn't already accounted for in the safety plans. But that's basically the same as my original proposal, just by making "according to plan" include everything that was planed for, including the stuff they were trying to avoid.
Funding is necessary due this rubber stamping. Mishaps are actually least problem, but approving and preparing launch windows (NOTAP/NOMAP etc). Simply not enough people to cover all bases. Either more people/more money, or reducing necessary work load for each thing. Like launch licence required to contact other agencies and reading all stuff that people sended. And last time bunch of social justice warriors and environmental Ngo sended tones of that. Dismissed almost everything as it should, but everything had to be responded
@@just_archan if they don't have money to pay people to read paperwork, why are they still asking for more?
But really I'm more looking at what they are demanding others do.
Always interesting
Ift3 was amazing, excited for the future of the launch platform.
You didn't strike me as a fellow rocket enjoyer lol
@@snakevenom4954 very much so
I got major wood watching this.
Me too
"no planning, where do i sign up?" amen, brother. amen.
The transfer to the famed outro line has been exceptionally clean this time.
HAHA!! IFT3 footage in place of falcon. You're so funny.
1:40 All the bits spanging around in different directions, amazing shot.
Excellent
Howdy from Temple, Texas, USA!
The Kairos rocket avionics is built with high quality, low-cost commercial automotive components!
What explosive idea...
Maybe I'll see you in Fredericksburg. We'll be there for a couple of days for the eclipse and then continue wandering around Texas for another week or so to check out the Spacecenter and possibly some cave paintings.
Absolutely love the footage of the Starship reentry. Way to go, Falcon 9 became boring ( and it is a good thing).
In case anyone else was wondering what the second shown Delta rocket in ULA's twitter post was: Seems to be a Delta 2914, carrying the French and Germany Symphonie 2 satellite in 1975.
So Glad Firefly dumped using the Name Reavers for their Engines... Still say they should call them Kaylee's
Why not have a Reaver engine and also a Kaylee engine? Reaver would be more powerful but the Kaylee would have better fuel economy.
I thought Reaver was the 2nd Stage engine? Although, I'll be honest, given how Reaver engines are tuned up in the Firefly 'verse, that would be a name better suited for a solid rocket motor... At least in my opinion, given how chaotic and firey their output are. 😊
_(as opposed to pretty-pretty mach diamonds of the other fuel types)_
I've made this joke before, I'll probably make it again: I hope they paint the rocket in Browncoat's Brown, or at _the very least,_ at least do it for the inaugural launch!
@@judet2992reavers are hated and feared enemies of the firefly crew there's absolutely no reason to want to name anything after them!
@@Shivaho yeah but it’s still a cool name
Not sure how I feel about naming a rocket after the goddess of discord and chaos (Eris) whose shennanigans started a major war, to be honest...
i am also going to Texas for the eclipse as well, but I will be a bit north of you.
I saw the eclipse in minnesota, it was just cloudy, didn't even get darrker outside
Great, as usual, but only your back ground shelf is in focus?
I camped at Jamala beach for the vandenberg launch. I ate some mushrooms & it was awesome.
When in Fredricksburg, TX, you might want to check out the WWII museum if you have the time. It's awesome.
Supernova!
I'm sure it will be cloudy 😂
Hey Scott, I will be in the neighborhood on eclipse day! Comfort, Texas is 22 miles from Fredericksburg
Hey Scott, I was looking through the NTSB docket for TWA Flight 800 and found that research was done examining the possibility that the plane was hit by a meteor (docket item 662). I thought you might be interested, if you haven't read it yet.
Hope SpaceX succeeds, but there is SO MUCH that still needs to be perfected before a successful mission! It will almost seem like magic if it does occur 😮...Cant even imagine the amount of engineering that is needed!
At 1:25 is that a helicopter in the top of the frame and two ships just offshore? Do they have way more lax safety zone requirements or is it some kind of trick of perspective?
Love your videos, they get into the thick of it rather than treating the audience as a child 👑👑🤌
As much as I dislike SpaceX's management, they are progressing leaps and bounds for the human race, and for that I give my respect.
Apparently the Vandenberg SpaceX launch was visible from near the Utah/Colorado border. Just off the horizon. (I might be in Fredericksburg as well, but traffic and/or weather might result in a deviation. Coming in from the West might reduce the traffic issues.)
You forgot to mention Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks !!!
Alls the starship needs for the payload door is a track for it to run in on both sides like a minivan door...
For eclipse travel, fly into a city a 2-3 hours a way and rent a car. Will be cheaper and will permit you to drive to a good weather location if necessary. A 3 hour event in a 16 hour day leaves lots of time to drive on that day.
