Ascent speed was so powerful to her thrust to weigh ratio

[@NautiRulz]

Awesome work!!

[@atlier4053]

Are they using starlink connection? Its very clear video unlike blue origin new glenn in first attempt.

[@Rich-can-do]

I was hoping for a callout * Fush and Chops* Maybe next time.

[@rsereday]

2,000 kmh.... is that like 120 mph?

[@MXP90DL]

Dont Know. Seems like it's really fast being 2000, but they never say how fast in mph.

[@rsereday]

@@MXP90DL I am just making fun of the metric pussy measurements. They say high speed chase of over 100 kilometers per hour. 100 kph is 62 miles an hour. on most highways here the speed limit is 65.

[@earlysda]

1,600km = 1,000mph. I enjoyed your comment. :)

[@rsereday]

@ I know... looks like U-tube didn't like my last comment about "high speed chase (100 kph = 63 mph)" and deleted it.

[@LiquorandCheeseburgers]

It's like 4000 cheetahs fast.

[@Scorpionbite8]

Is this for internet?

[@3224477]

Most less smoke rocket I have ever seen

[@GasBrake]

internet of things... refrigerators. vacuums. air conditioners. rgb lights. garage door openers. pretty much every day to day item that you never knew had a version of internet but actually does.. That's the "internet of things"

[@MXP90DL]

Where do the discharged batteries end up? Are they recycled? I hope you're not simply disposing them outside for someone else to pick up.

[@voongnz]

They burn up in re-entry.

[@HDJess]

looks like they remain in orbit
