It's one thing for the fantastic picture quality on this, it's another for the fact *it has sound!*. Getting the sounds of the experience as part of the visuals just makes all the difference, gives it that extra presence.
That was so cool!! RCS firing, initial atmospheric entry, then re-entry, aerodynamic braking, then drogues and brilliant beautiful main chutes. What a ride!
Wow-awesome! As a child of the 60s who watched all the Apollo re-entries, I’ve never seen it this way. What a treat! Really expected more plasma upon reentry. Amazingly quiet ride until it hit the atmosphere. Hearing RCS at work was interesting too. This is the closest I will ever get to experiencing re-entry. Thanks for the video.
@@joefunk1611 Not an awful lot. It's indeed expected. Orion here is performing a "skip reentry" which is the very first time a human rated capsule has done this. In the past engineers couldn't really figure out a way to confidently pull it off, but technology has improved and this can be done now automatically without a crew as Orion here demonstrated. Imagine a stone being skipped on a puddle of water, well something similar is happening here. The exact burns have to be very precise and the RCS must be able to quickly adjust the orientation of the heatshield. For Apollo, the capsule would land several miles/km from their expected landing zones, which made recovery operations very difficult and they risked landing in an unsafe zone. The skip maneuver gives Orion much more control on where to land. This skip maneuver also eases reentry g-forces which should make the descent more comfortable for the astronauts.
@@jrc1606 thanks very much. Great explanation and now it makes sense. Gives a lot more confidence as I always thought the capsules shape was itself ‘self corrective’ but what you said really give some understanding and confidence I wasn’t feeling until now :).
I’m not sure most people understand how fast this thing is going. Watching the swaths of ocean and cloud formations moving so fast is insane. Great video!
@@snakeeyes3733not necessarily, most of the world is water. And this was a pretty short clip and the craft reentered over the ocean on purpose to make a water landing.
To hear the thrusters working is something else. Sounds like something is smacking the side of the capsule, but thats the attitude adjustment thrusters, and I never knew how much adjustment was needed during reentry and how it’s automated now, gives new respect to how they did it in the early days of space travel without the complex computer navigation systems we have today.
@@JohnHansknechtArtemis' re-entry was done exactly like it needed to be, just like during Apollo. The Apollo CM did not use a ballistic entry approach because it would have burned up in re-entry. NASA opted for a non-ballistic re-entry approach by skipping off the Earth's atmosphere once to dissipate the CM's re-entry velocity and lower the heating loads to the shielding. Artemis is still using the same re-entry technique and they have to. The Space Shuttle re-entered the atmosphere from LEO at Mach 25. Artemis' re-entry speed was Mach 32. This maneuver was very necessary.
Can't believe its taken this long for a full re-entry video uncut from orbit to ocean being uploaded to youtube. You normally always see videos that get cut away to animations or ground camera footage halfway trough. And the raw audio instead of some generic spacy discovery channel music was really cool too.
No Fr. I wonder how much it costs to add recording footage. I just can’t imagine it being too much in this day and age. I’m surprised every unit wasn’t equipped all around with recording devices
This has got to be the coolest video I've ever seen. From the views of the Earth, the way the thrusters cut in and out (I didn't think they'd behave like that) to watching the plasma stream from breaking through the atmosphere. This is hands down some of the coolest footage ever recorded.
Awesum! Thank you! I'm 71 and have been watching space flights all my life. But this is a 1st time Marvin the Martian internal view of re-entry and landing. Well done. Looking forward to more!
@@wirebeam I'm also 71, we would've been in 4th or fifth grade, so yeah it would've been pretty much our whole lives. This was back when space flight was new and novel. Unless you lived it back then, you can't understand the excitement each mission provided our young minds.
I’m 68 years old, so I remember John Glenn orbiting the earth 3 times. Which captured my imagination as a young boy and after watching this incredible video, it made me a little sad, knowing that I was born in a generation that will never experience space travel as a tourist.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm 23, but I'm also sad that I'm guaranteed to never ever be able to travel through the galaxy at the speed of light but some lucky generation thousands of years in the future will have that privilege and probably be able to see intergalactic planets and solar systems and even meet aliens. It's not fair to be born into such a vast universe and not be able to see even the smallest percentage of it.
Incredible stuff. Really makes you think just how close these capsules and other crafts and their occupants are to being completely annihilated every time they come home. The fact that we can send things and people into space and bring them home safely is amazing. There really is no margin for error when it comes to re-entry. I hope we will see more views like this in the future.

Amazing. Not how I pictured the thrusters functioning at all. Congrats to all the hard working engineers and technicians who made that possible. The sounds in real time were enlightening
@@gordon1201 I'm curious if the thrusters only fire for a set period of time and the computer keeps repeatedly firing them until it's in the right position. Or if the thrusters keep firing continuously without shutting off until it's in the right position. Does that make sense?
Are they thrusters or deflection style panels for adjustable direction and speed decrease ? That's what I assumed for whatever reason by the sounds lol
Thank you for showing me what its like to slow down from orbital velocity all the way to splashdown. I waited all my life to witness that. Great video!

Lunar return velocity, purposefully skipping the craft off the atmosphere to attain a more controlled final descent... The final attitude change into a more vertical orientation brought with it such a wild rush of "here we go," and went we did. Like others have said, a velocity/telemetry display would be quite an addition, but like subtitles in a movie, it would have taken me out of the moment of just experiencing what happened there. Truly magnificent.
Очень атмосферное видео , и шум клапанов двигателей ориентации, и искры отлетающих частиц термоэкрана. И плазма танцующая в вихре. И брызги океана на иллюминаторе..... Как будто сам из космоса вернулся )))
That's because there is little to no sound outside the atmosphere, and inside the outer atmosphere it's very quiet. So you're only hearing the sounds coming from inside the craft
@@moosman4217 Not entirely. Sounds also travels via conduction. So the outside sound of the craft conducted through the structure and into the camera mic.
@@LevelEarth2021 Moon only has different shape phases because the earth is a sphere. Moon is upside down in southern hemisphere vs the northern hemisphere.

Whenever I see videos looking at earth from space, I love trying to think about what I was actually doing where I live on that day. Seeing this perspective, knowing that while this was happening I was at work and going through my daily life. It's just a cool little thought I like to have once in a while.
I have this thought too but I first remember having it with movies or TV shows. I'd be thinking "I wonder what I was doing at the exact moment this scene was being shot" lol.
This was so great, thank you Zach. I recall NASA reporting that this was a "Skip Re-entry" manoeuvre. It was so cool to see it all happen from beginning to end. 😁
One minute you’re watching the earth from space through that window as superheated plasma begins to rip by, to 25 minutes later when you see liquid water wash across the same window at splash-down! Amazing footage and so cool to keep the original audio.

Just because you didn't see something doesn't mean it isn't there,if you watch a video of say the iss streams it takes a decent amount of time between continents something that is orbiting the earth and not descending into it therefore the artemis is descending and not so much orbiting around the earth at a speed like the iss which as I said is moving across the earth essentially.i can't be bothered to go in depth because you're clearly very dull and wouldn't get it so I'll leave it there 😢
@@Vector_Ze I have a feeling that might be some kind of purge, just to expend the fuel before it hits the water. I could be wrong though, it just seemed logical.
Love the thruster firing sound. And visually, the effects the RCS thrusters have on the plasma sheath is amazing. Love the bits of heat shield char sitting on the window. Only thing better to see that this would be a time lapse from an on orbit position, or even just real time. And you can tell it never fully left atmosphere on its skip maneuver.
Orion never enters low earth orbit after returning from lunar orbit. That’d require as much energy as the TLI in the first place, and is why the reentry speed is so insanely high.
I was wondering what was building up in the window, I thought it could be loose debris inside the capsule. Hard to imagine fragments of the heat shield laying on the outside of the window in such an extreme environment
@@braindare1351 interestingly, one of the reasons for Artemis 2 just having been postponed, is “unexpected erosion” of the ablative heat shield. Whether or not the debris seen on the window is a representation of that, I don’t know.
@@ArKritz84 excellent observation. Just my opinion but the failures of NASA go far deeper than a few technical issues that would have been solved in months during the space race. I Don'🤞t know what is more difficult these days , technical issues or bureaucratic ones
@@braindare1351 changing political priorities is definitely hamstringing long-term programs the most. And crewed deep-space missions are definitely long-term in their development.

The juice doesn't seem to be worth the squeeze.
@@skater4life2360What exactly do you get out of ignoring what is so obvious? Nobody has any reason to lie.

I hate that they hide so many space footage from us , even of strange things they see out there. I hate this human civilization. Earth needs to blow up already haha
It's incredible how it travels two or three countries in a matter of seconds! And the sound emitted by the trajectory correction is quite fascinating too.
That was awesome, and thoroughly fascinating to watch! Would be really cool to have a version with some commentary or pop-ups explaining what's happening. Maybe even a telemetry overlay showing relative speed, altitude, position, etc.
@@eckee angle relative to the surface, velocity, acceleration (or rather, deceleration), altitude, perhaps a model of the surface showing where it is relative to the surface, stages in the program, what thrusters are firing and why, I can think of a lot of things that are going on. It looks like there was a "bounce" over the atmosphere where it grazed by and took a lot of speed off, before bouncing back off the atmosphere for a second entry later, and it looked like it was turning over to balance the load on the heat shields like you'd turn over a burger on a grill. this was way more than just flying the thing into the atmosphere, would be super cool to see how the computer was interpreting what was happening and when it decided it was time to turn over, deploy different parachutes, etc.
@@almicc yea. I'd love to have a full debrief too but even the illustrations made by NASA itself shows incorrect flight trajectory, especially the reentry. There are so many exiting things and so many details about spaceflight yet NASA treats their audience like dumb kids
Amazing, I loved this, it's crazy how accurate we have to be for re-entry! Also take a second to imagine that this could have been a landing on a similar earth like planet, gave me an eery feeling thinking of that, awesome!
And the aliens are going to get one look at whomever lands, pull out their own weaponry & just like that...colonization dreams shattered. They'll follow up with a quick touchdown on Earth and we'll have to pay respects in the chat to all those adventurous "explorers". God forbid if they already have monitored some of the history here.
So many amazing things in this spectacular video. The double entry, the plasma, the RCS firing, the deposition of combustion products on the window, the deployment of the drogue and main chutes, and the landing in the water -- just amazing. Also, the perspective, looking backwards, is not something you often see. I just wish there was a telemetry overlay!
Very cool. I also have never seen footage like this in the 60 years that I have been a space fanatic. The sounds are as impressive as the visuals. The valve noise from the RCS Thrusters was wild, I had never considered what it would sound like in a capsule during entry, and the sound of the tortured air screaming around the vessel, along with the visible changes in the plasma when the RCS fired during the heat mitigation maneuvers was mesmerizing. Thanks for posting this.
Just a small correction. Those are not "heat mitigation maneuvers," but rather LIFT MANAGEMENT maneuvers. The capsule's center of gravity is offset from its centerline, resulting in an oblique reentry. The heat shield isn't pointed straight into the direction of travel. It is at a somewhat oblique angle, and more atmosphere is displaced in one direction than the other, creating a lifting force in the opposite direction. By rolling the capsule, the direction of lift can be changed, which both allows precise splashdown targeting and reduced g-loads during reentry. Generally, the capsule only experiences a maximum of 4 g's during reentry. By comparison, the Mercury capsules, which did not have lifting bodies and therefore reentered on a purely ballistic trajectory experienced over 10 g's.
I've seen one other re-entry video besides this on TH-cam. I believe it was a rocket booster (?) falling back to Earth. What really struck me was how the audio kicks in once the booster is low enough in the atmosphere. Total space silence....and then suddenly turbulence. And then, same as this video, several minutes later it hits the water. Check it out if you can find it, it's amazing footage.
Hi @@phoenixshade3. I did not actually mention anything to do with "heat mitigation maneuvers", but you have half a point. I actually called them RCS Thrusters, where RCS stands for "Reaction Control System". These are used for attitude adjustment for two reasons, first, as you mentioned, "Lift Management", which can adjust trajectory, but they also actually perform heat mitigation at the same time. Rotating the lifting body surfaces of the capsule can change centre of gravity and therefore trajectory, but it also rotates the heat shield to more evenly distribute heat loading on the structure of the lifting body. Cheers.
@@phoenixshade3 I believe Gemini capsules were the first to try lift capabilities by spinning the capsules at oblique angles, correct? And if I'm not mistaken it's seemed as though Orion was engaging roll reversals similar to shuttle to disapate energy. What say you?
I feel like everyone is correct here. Capsule does all of the above, lifts, spins, angles of attack are multipurpose & have been around for decades. One second it can be firing for trajectory the next could be heat mitigation
It's cool how it swirls and gets disrupted by the thrusters. And then it starts to look like the ship is being attacked by infernal demons. Gotta be a pucker up moment for astronauts no matter what.
I don't think there'd be a lot to see. Here we actually are hearing and seeing all the microsecond RCS adjustments to keep the capsule in the optimum re-entry orientation.
That was absolutely mesmerizing! Very awesome video. Something that would have made it even better would be to super-impose some telemetry in the corner. It would have been awesome to see Altitude, Velocity and G-forces in real time.
I'd love to feel it. The ultimate thrill ride. And when they come back from the moon it's going to be way more than just orbital velocity... they'll be returning from lunar orbit without slowing down for Earth orbital entry. Apollo returned at 24,000mph. Re-entry is such a crazy situation.
Ya, with telemetry we could imagine what it would feel like. :) But I thought that this was re-entry from Artemis. Didn't it fly around the moon and then return? That's why it had to do the double re-entry.@@mycroft16
@@skater4life2360 Why? Below the clouds? You have to take in perspective, that the curvature we are seeing isn't that strong in reality because it is a wide angle camera. So the area we see is not as big as you think.
I think it’s called “reefing”. There’s a super interesting history learning of how much of an actual engineering problem figuring out how to reliably get it to work truly was. And that was in the early days of skydiving & ejection seat development. X 1000 for operations such as re-entry on top of that.
this was the one remaining HD uncut footage for me to witness in regard to entry/re-entry, in full glory! wow! JUST WOW! made my year! Many thanks to all those involved, those putting in all the effort and hard work, we truly appreciate your contributions to further evolution of mankind.
Too freaking cool!!!!! I want descriptions of what noises are during re-entry and what is going on foot by foot! Great stuff! Keep them coming and THANKS!!!!
the banging noises are thrusters adjusting the capsules trajectory/path through the atmosphere. and the wind like noise is air around the craft being vaporized
Loved this, the stability at super speed grazing the atmosphere, burning off speed, bouncing off the air, amnd the second contact at much slower was very unstable. Loved the computer rcs, watching the joysticks rotating the craft. Awesome
@@skater4life2360 It would be a pretty big mistake on NASA's part to leave out such a detail if they wanted to convince people it is real. Maybe it is because the re-entry happened over a vast expanse of desolate ocean. Were you expecting to see your house from there?
Just because you see something on a "screen" doesn't make it real. I saw Bruce Willis land on an asteroid and blow it up to save the world. Looked pretty real to me. Just sayin'
You would've at least expected the CGI folks to make the earth consistently round.. Shoddy work even for NASA.. ;) Throw in a few stars in the darkness of space... Get a better looking sun..
It's pretty funny that in hollywood re entries are always depicted like your spacecraft is a fuel truck exploding into a violent and chaotic trail of thick flames like it's burning while in reality the plasma is more similar to your thin cooking gas stove flame but stretched into a long trail but it remains translucent enough you still can see in details earth's curve and cloud formations. In movies it's like somebody threw a molotov cocktail on the craft and let it burn😂
in the movies is where you have thunderous fireball explosions in the vacuum of space by battles of militaries from various star systems. And they all have spacecraft of superluminal flight with precision accuracy of darting across the galaxy with no abberation of the space-time continuum (or g-forces) with insane amounts of power, along with directed energy weapons. And when they engage in battles they do it just like 18th century navies.
@@wrightmfWell I wasn't thinking about those. More like movies depicting real space historical events like The Right Stuff (1983) Apollo 13 (1995) Gagarin First In Space (2013) or Salyut 7 (2017) to name a few. In each of these movies it always has to look chaotic out of control like it's a fuel tank bursting into flames.
What a ride, what a ride. Freaking awesome, a full re-entry, so that’s what it’s like , best thing I’ve watched all week. Woo hoo! 👏 And to think, back in the early days of Gemini etc those guys had to this manually!
@@AR-mu4zq The plasma stream from the first atmospheric entry was evident around 4.10, the Orion then pitched up and exited the atmosphere around 7.20. The plasma stream for the second atmospheric entry commenced about six minutes later at around 13.40. There are rolls and yaws around 15.50, presumably to line up for touch down. The plasma stream stops around 17.00, indicating speed has likely dropped below M6. The sun moves into view about 18.10. When the spacecraft has slowed sufficiently, the parachutes deploy. First two pilot chutes at 19.45, followed by three mains at 21.00. Splashdown was at 25.0. The pulsing noise and occasional bursts of plasma are the reaction control system. In the last minute or so the RCS was firing almost continuously, probably to fully drain the fuel tanks of noxious propellant. Overall it was a masterful display of spacecraft control during a high speed re-entry.
Holy hell that's incredible! It's amazing how big the earth gets in the window, and yet they're still SO far above the cloud level. Incredible! I knew reentry was a violent affair, but I didn't know it was THIS violent. Amazing footage!
The inside sounds are the best ones I've ever heard. No communication or commentaries during the video. Really felt like i was sitting inside the vehicle. Would be awesome in VR 😁.
wow, you'd really expect the thrusters to sound like movies portray them, but honestly i love the real sounds more. like its literally just "THOMP-THOMP. THOMP. THOMP-THOMP" and it really gives you a feel of just how precise and accurate those little bursts have to be in order to stop sheer calamity from occurring

Awesome! It looks like the ship re-enters atmosphere 2 times, the first to lose some speed and next to fall to the earth. It should be interesting if there is a telemetry with altitude and speed data shown in real time
i know what you mean, but its insane that we live in a time where you can say that "its insane to find a high definition recorded video of an object we yeeted into orbit reentering into our atmosphere at 8 km/s"
@@sellem3”it’s insane we live in a time where you can strap a camera to anything” I guess man. this seems like something we should’ve had 20 years ago. but whatever.
Possibly to get rid of the last remaining propellant. The thrusters use hypergolic fuel, that is some nasty stuff. The capsule makes sure to dump it all out to make aproaching the capsule safer.
That was so incredible! Re-entry is my favorite part of KSP, I always go to FPV for that. Seeing it like this was amazing! I really hope we get some more showmanship from upcoming space programs. We need to re-energize public interest in it. I really think if we could get people looking up at the stars again, they might have more hope when they look down at the horizon.

@@eckee Oh really? Its improved a great deal since the science update. And, comparatively, it is exactly where KSP1 was during this point in its development, it just looks several magnitudes better. And yes, I've played KSP1 before it first added science and re-entry heating to the game too.
@@k1productions87 except KSP1 was initially developed by one guy before his studio started picking up. This one was sold at the full price by a whole studio, and the game was already built.

Seemed like an awful lot of RCS work on initial entry profile. Maybe that’s expected but to me it looked like constant overcorrecting at some points
@@joefunk1611 Not an awful lot. It's indeed expected. Orion here is performing a "skip reentry" which is the very first time a human rated capsule has done this. In the past engineers couldn't really figure out a way to confidently pull it off, but technology has improved and this can be done now automatically without a crew as Orion here demonstrated. Imagine a stone being skipped on a puddle of water, well something similar is happening here. The exact burns have to be very precise and the RCS must be able to quickly adjust the orientation of the heatshield.
For Apollo, the capsule would land several miles/km from their expected landing zones, which made recovery operations very difficult and they risked landing in an unsafe zone. The skip maneuver gives Orion much more control on where to land. This skip maneuver also eases reentry g-forces which should make the descent more comfortable for the astronauts.

@@JohnHansknechtArtemis' re-entry was done exactly like it needed to be, just like during Apollo. The Apollo CM did not use a ballistic entry approach because it would have burned up in re-entry. NASA opted for a non-ballistic re-entry approach by skipping off the Earth's atmosphere once to dissipate the CM's re-entry velocity and lower the heating loads to the shielding. Artemis is still using the same re-entry technique and they have to. The Space Shuttle re-entered the atmosphere from LEO at Mach 25. Artemis' re-entry speed was Mach 32. This maneuver was very necessary.

Lunar return velocity, purposefully skipping the craft off the atmosphere to attain a more controlled final descent... The final attitude change into a more vertical orientation brought with it such a wild rush of "here we go," and went we did. Like others have said, a velocity/telemetry display would be quite an addition, but like subtitles in a movie, it would have taken me out of the moment of just experiencing what happened there.

That was awesome. The sounds of the thrusters are surprisingly quiet and simple. The entire process was much quieter and calmer than expected.
That's because there is little to no sound outside the atmosphere, and inside the outer atmosphere it's very quiet. So you're only hearing the sounds coming from inside the craft

Very cool. I also have never seen footage like this in the 60 years that I have been a space fanatic. The sounds are as impressive as the visuals. The valve noise from the RCS Thrusters was wild, I had never considered what it would sound like in a capsule during entry, and the sound of the tortured air screaming around the vessel, along with the visible changes in the plasma when the RCS fired during the heat mitigation maneuvers was mesmerizing. Thanks for posting this.
Just a small correction. Those are not "heat mitigation maneuvers," but rather LIFT MANAGEMENT maneuvers. The capsule's center of gravity is offset from its centerline, resulting in an oblique reentry. The heat shield isn't pointed straight into the direction of travel. It is at a somewhat oblique angle, and more atmosphere is displaced in one direction than the other, creating a lifting force in the opposite direction.
By rolling the capsule, the direction of lift can be changed, which both allows precise splashdown targeting and reduced g-loads during reentry. Generally, the capsule only experiences a maximum of 4 g's during reentry. By comparison, the Mercury capsules, which did not have lifting bodies and therefore reentered on a purely ballistic trajectory experienced over 10 g's.
I've seen one other re-entry video besides this on TH-cam. I believe it was a rocket booster (?) falling back to Earth. What really struck me was how the audio kicks in once the booster is low enough in the atmosphere. Total space silence....and then suddenly turbulence. And then, same as this video, several minutes later it hits the water.
Check it out if you can find it, it's amazing footage.
Hi @@phoenixshade3. I did not actually mention anything to do with "heat mitigation maneuvers", but you have half a point. I actually called them RCS Thrusters, where RCS stands for "Reaction Control System". These are used for attitude adjustment for two reasons, first, as you mentioned, "Lift Management", which can adjust trajectory, but they also actually perform heat mitigation at the same time. Rotating the lifting body surfaces of the capsule can change centre of gravity and therefore trajectory, but it also rotates the heat shield to more evenly distribute heat loading on the structure of the lifting body. Cheers.
@@phoenixshade3 I believe Gemini capsules were the first to try lift capabilities by spinning the capsules at oblique angles, correct? And if I'm not mistaken it's seemed as though Orion was engaging roll reversals similar to shuttle to disapate energy. What say you?
I feel like everyone is correct here. Capsule does all of the above, lifts, spins, angles of attack are multipurpose & have been around for decades. One second it can be firing for trajectory the next could be heat mitigation

@@nels9382The initial ones were drogue chutes.
this was the one remaining HD uncut footage for me to witness in regard to entry/re-entry, in full glory! wow! JUST WOW! made my year! Many thanks to all those involved, those putting in all the effort and hard work, we truly appreciate your contributions to further evolution of mankind.
Space sounds are eerie and cool at the same time! 😁
The humming sound in the background reminds me of the background noise from Ao Oni 😂
There is no sound in space.
@@k.c.r.5974thanks professor
@@k.c.r.5974Technically, there is, it just can't travel because of the vacuum
@@Thomas_Everman sound must travel in order to be heard
Too freaking cool!!!!! I want descriptions of what noises are during re-entry and what is going on foot by foot! Great stuff! Keep them coming and THANKS!!!!
the banging noises are thrusters adjusting the capsules trajectory/path through the atmosphere. and the wind like noise is air around the craft being vaporized
Loved this, the stability at super speed grazing the atmosphere, burning off speed, bouncing off the air, amnd the second contact at much slower was very unstable. Loved the computer rcs, watching the joysticks rotating the craft. Awesome
also the missing continents was a nice tough from the nasa vfx department
@@skater4life2360 🙄
@@Axl_Pose did you notice it?
@@skater4life2360 It would be a pretty big mistake on NASA's part to leave out such a detail if they wanted to convince people it is real. Maybe it is because the re-entry happened over a vast expanse of desolate ocean. Were you expecting to see your house from there?
@@Axl_Pose at 100 miles up, I would expect to see the eastern side of asia in the beginning of the video
The air friction at 4:49 reminds me of what i visually represented a wormhole as when i was younger, going that speed must be absolutely insane!

Just because you see something on a "screen" doesn't make it real. I saw Bruce Willis land on an asteroid and blow it up to save the world. Looked pretty real to me. Just sayin'
@@IdahoPohTaToh yeah especially when you know nothing about vfx lmao, nice try ig
@IdahoPohTaToh
So something's fake if you're not personally there to witness it?
I've never seen australia, so it must be fake, right?
You would've at least expected the CGI folks to make the earth consistently round.. Shoddy work even for NASA.. ;) Throw in a few stars in the darkness of space... Get a better looking sun..
@@carcinogen60yearsago I know people who have visited it.. or did they really? 🤔
That might’ve been the gnarliest video I’ve ever watched
Why doesn't anyone post more videos like this? That was neat!
There hasn't been lately a lot of deep space missions that return to Earth.
The abruptness of the dive and the amount of control input available are really wild!
It's pretty funny that in hollywood re entries are always depicted like your spacecraft is a fuel truck exploding into a violent and chaotic trail of thick flames like it's burning while in reality the plasma is more similar to your thin cooking gas stove flame but stretched into a long trail but it remains translucent enough you still can see in details earth's curve and cloud formations.
In movies it's like somebody threw a molotov cocktail on the craft and let it burn😂
in the movies is where you have thunderous fireball explosions in the vacuum of space by battles of militaries from various star systems. And they all have spacecraft of superluminal flight with precision accuracy of darting across the galaxy with no abberation of the space-time continuum (or g-forces) with insane amounts of power, along with directed energy weapons. And when they engage in battles they do it just like 18th century navies.
@@wrightmfWell I wasn't thinking about those. More like movies depicting real space historical events like The Right Stuff (1983) Apollo 13 (1995) Gagarin First In Space (2013) or Salyut 7 (2017) to name a few.
In each of these movies it always has to look chaotic out of control like it's a fuel tank bursting into flames.
The early ones were ballistic, so much more rough on the astronauts…more violent. Shuttle should have been a lot like this, using skip method
Those tiny thrusters to orient the craft are so satisfying to listen to. Very crisp.
What a ride, what a ride. Freaking awesome, a full re-entry, so that’s what it’s like , best thing I’ve watched all week. Woo hoo! 👏
And to think, back in the early days of Gemini etc those guys had to this manually!
That is exactly what my mind kept thinking of!
Extraordinary, the skip over the atmosphere was amazing as was the thumping sounds of the RCS
“ what a ride “ yup ! You’ve just been taken for one mate !👋😂😂😂😂
@@jimgraham6722qhat do you mean skip over the atmosphere? I didnt see anything.
@@AR-mu4zq The plasma stream from the first atmospheric entry was evident around 4.10, the Orion then pitched up and exited the atmosphere around 7.20.
The plasma stream for the second atmospheric entry commenced about six minutes later at around 13.40. There are rolls and yaws around 15.50, presumably to line up for touch down. The plasma stream stops around 17.00, indicating speed has likely dropped below M6. The sun moves into view about 18.10.
When the spacecraft has slowed sufficiently, the parachutes deploy.
First two pilot chutes at 19.45, followed by three mains at 21.00. Splashdown was at 25.0.
The pulsing noise and occasional bursts of plasma are the reaction control system. In the last minute or so the RCS was firing almost continuously, probably to fully drain the fuel tanks of noxious propellant.
Overall it was a masterful display of spacecraft control during a high speed re-entry.
I can't imagine how complex the control system is for those thrusters :o
Holy hell that's incredible!
It's amazing how big the earth gets in the window, and yet they're still SO far above the cloud level.
Incredible! I knew reentry was a violent affair, but I didn't know it was THIS violent.
Amazing footage!
That was all I was expecting it to be, and more! (That window definitely needs a splash of Windex, though)
same!
Looks like it got scorched by the reentry plasma and became cloudy. It's a lot clearer at the start of the video.
Hello from Norway 🇳🇴.
It was awesome to see the particles flying off as the craft started to hit the atmosphere.
Lovely video 🥰.
The inside sounds are the best ones I've ever heard. No communication or commentaries during the video.
Really felt like i was sitting inside the vehicle.
Would be awesome in VR 😁.
Hello from The States. A bit cold over there yes? You guys get to enjoy auroras. Jealous!
I'm your neighbour from Sweden!
I feel like I’m watching unreleased footage of 2001 A Space Odyssey.
The sound, the still image, the tension, the spectacle of it all.
Eerie.
So true. I had not thought of that
All CGI same thing
@@bakedbeans3181
1. There was no CGI in 2001.
2. Prove this is CGI without just saying its CGI.
I half expected HAL to tell me" I'm sorry Dave, but can't I do that." Lol
I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you film that.
Ahhh, the serenity after the mains deploy! The nail-biting after watching globs of molten heat-shield sticking to the window is over!
wow, you'd really expect the thrusters to sound like movies portray them, but honestly i love the real sounds more. like its literally just "THOMP-THOMP. THOMP. THOMP-THOMP" and it really gives you a feel of just how precise and accurate those little bursts have to be in order to stop sheer calamity from occurring
This is crazy imagine being there with bits flying off the craft all over the place you've got to have big balls to be an astronaut. Amazing video thank you
The sounds are especially unsettling.
There was no one in this vehicle. Do a little research before commenting.
@@Irespecktyouall The keyword is "imagine". He's saying imagine being in there and seeing bits flying off (which is normal). The astronauts he's referring to is just a general statement. Nowhere did he say that there were astronauts in this vehicle. Learn to comprehend what you read before commenting.
Just enough testicular fortitude to become a big fat liar. It pays good.
@@Irespecktyouallit’s almost as if he didn’t say “imagine”
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this with us
No problem 👍
Awesome! It looks like the ship re-enters atmosphere 2 times, the first to lose some speed and next to fall to the earth. It should be interesting if there is a telemetry with altitude and speed data shown in real time
its did, it bounced on the atmosphere to target its landing site.
Just had a bad day at work and this video has made me cheer up , it is so beautiful !
Sorry had bad day at work but glad found this video and brought some Joy. Space is amazing place and so is our beautiful planet
What a treat. I've always wanted to see what reentry looked like inside a craft, but strangely it's rare to find. Thank you for uploading this.
i know what you mean, but its insane that we live in a time where you can say that
"its insane to find a high definition recorded video of an object we yeeted into orbit reentering into our atmosphere at 8 km/s"
@@sellem3”it’s insane we live in a time where you can strap a camera to anything”
I guess man. this seems like something we should’ve had 20 years ago. but whatever.
22:55
Why do the control jets fire again even though the 3 main parachutes have already opened?
Possibly to get rid of the last remaining propellant. The thrusters use hypergolic fuel, that is some nasty stuff. The capsule makes sure to dump it all out to make aproaching the capsule safer.
@@man-from-2058thx
That eerie science fiction sounds is what makes it epic to me
😂
🤦♂️😆
Ain't fiction no more brotha
Это очень круто!!! Всегда было интересно, как выглядит и ощущается возвращение на Землю, Огромное спасибо и УДАЧИ!!! 👍 😊
Я на самолете летел в 1й раз думал помру при наборе и сбросе высоты, а тут... xD
17:12 -> The shade of the thrusters!
6:53 watching the clouds fly past is just so cool! Really nice raw video!
That was so incredible! Re-entry is my favorite part of KSP, I always go to FPV for that. Seeing it like this was amazing! I really hope we get some more showmanship from upcoming space programs. We need to re-energize public interest in it. I really think if we could get people looking up at the stars again, they might have more hope when they look down at the horizon.
Have you tried docking the dragon capsule?
I can't wait to see how Kerbal 2 re-entry looks and feels once the heating effects are added. It already looks more gorgeous than I had ever been able to make Kerbal 1 look
@@k1productions87 KSP 2 is a sham
@@eckee Oh really? Its improved a great deal since the science update. And, comparatively, it is exactly where KSP1 was during this point in its development, it just looks several magnitudes better.
And yes, I've played KSP1 before it first added science and re-entry heating to the game too.
@@k1productions87 except KSP1 was initially developed by one guy before his studio started picking up. This one was sold at the full price by a whole studio, and the game was already built.
They took a game that was already developed, already had a fan base, and reskinned it, made it shitty and sold it again lol.
Its amazing at 4:05 you can see the moments it first encouters the edge of the atmosphere.
