All the while playing a song that perfectly demonstrates how absolutely insane we are as a species. The reason why we haven't discovered aliens is because they're hiding from us!
Seeing the most powerful rocket ever created launch perfectly synced with one of most hype songs in existence is something I definitely didn't know I needed, but that just made my day. I can't wait for the day we go back to the Moon, step on Mars for the first time and, who knows, even beyond.
Not to be that guy, but SLS isn't the most powerful rocket ever created. SLS has 8.8 million lbs of thrust at launch. This beats Saturn V's 7.7 million lbs, but only at launch, as the latter could exceed 9 million lbs at medium altitudes during the 1st stage burn. The Soviet N1, though unsuccessful, did produce over 10 million lbs of thrust before exploding. Lastly, there is flight-capable hardware sitting on a pad in Texas right now with 15 million lbs of thrust. Starship's super heavy booster has so far done 14-engine firings but has 31 main stage engines total, with enough thrust to shatter all records, and it's built and being tested as I type this.

There's a reason there's no humans on there, dummy
Sadly, you can't really have people on a rocket's very first launch.
The second launch (Artemis II, 2024) will already be manned/crewed so don't worry; it is coming!
Like what do we have suicidal people for anyway

“you can’t just launch a metal cylinder into space!”
nasa:
accelerating to mach 30 in a 60 mph zone is always legal when the free bird solo is playing.
God bless the live countdown on rocket launches
The build up, while slow, was definitely worth it
SLS kinda looks like a space shuttle and a Saturn V blend
because it is
It's quite literally true. The SLS is basically just bolted together from unused Shuttle parts, some of which have been modified, upgraded or made longer. The capsule is from the last Shuttle replacement program.
@@noecarrier5035 ... and in some cases, used: the engines were from former Shuttle missions
@@craggleshenanigans really?
@@AmtrakCitiesSprinter64 yeah, straight up ripped them from the museum shuttles on display
Moon: 238,900 mi from Earth

4:38 i cant caiaiaiaiaiaige lowww i cant chaange wont you flyyyy highhhh freee bird yeah *Music kicks in and rocket flys*
This ought to be preserved in NASA archives and museum so when people look into museum 600 years from now they will see how goofy we are
holy shit the ecstasy when the guitar chorus lined up perfectly with the launch
the timing is so good, it even timed perfectly with the sparks. maybe they were listening to this song while launching the rocket
this video goes so hard its insane
First
The space program makes me proud to be from Central Florida. So many of family members worked on these rockets dating all the way back to before Apollo. I love shit like this.
Man, I had a shit day today, but god dammit I’m smiling now.
I hope you had a better 6 month
@@rizkyaditia6650 yknow what, it has been a pretty good six months. I got a promotion at work, girlfriend and I are coming up on a year together, got a new puppy…yeah it’s been better!
@@zehfox2719 congrats dude, keep it up!
@@zehfox2719I’m glad! here's to another awesome year in 2024, yeah? :)
@@gjk-arts5855 hell yeah!
I did this as I was watching it live, but with Brain Damage, by Pink Floyd (synched it to the first chorus to match the excitement)
And it was absolutely perfect ! "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon !"
I did this 5 years ago at the eclipse, synched totality with the intro of Eclipse. Perfect
It starts at 4:42 for those who want to skip straight to the guitar solo
Spinning rat music
Who the hell would want to do that?!
Who the hell would want to do that? (2)
Who the hell would want to do that? (3)
Who the hell would want to do that? (4)
Bash me all you want; I never heard this song before. This will not my last listen. It is indeed hype, and far more then that
Very nice of NASA to put a countdown to the guitar solo in the top left corner
this actually brought a fucking tear to my eye. i'm dead serious. it was that good.
This is the most badass thing I have ever seen - that timing was perfect
I was watching it live and timed it PERFECTLY with rocket man as the first chorus came on haha.
I like how the second part of the solo is right when it gets REALLY supersonic and you can see the plume expand.
50 years ago, it was thought that the very last rocket being sent to the moon would launch. With the recent Artemis 1 launch, we are giving it another go at putting people on the moon, possibly permanently. This video fills me with an energetic hope that I can’t describe.
The music feels fitting for a launch that marks the start of what will probably be the single most challenging and incredible endeavors in human history, to truly become multi-planetary.
This matches even better when you learn that SLS is the most powerful rocket in history as of now.
And now the third
@@Wurtoz9643 it is the most powerfull to acheve it mission. i am sorry but the 2min test fly for the starship is nothing compared to this
@@Clemdauphin I think we both are kind of correct. I’m correct if you just measure sheer power. You are correct if you measure how the sheer power was used if you get what I mean.
Nice
Nice
Nice
Nice
Things that make you realize space travel is absolutely fucking insane
"Dad, slow down, we're entering a school zone!"
My Dad fr:
Disclaimer: my dad is a wonderful man who never did this in his life.
the launch was impressive by itself, but holy crap Free Bird makes it so much better.
Can't get over this thing looking just like a ksp ship on top of that I named one my first ships to make it to deep space the Artemis
Did this make anyone else tear up or am I just weird
No it did me too 🚀🇺🇲🦅
tears of joy
Me when the "launchppfrfr" spacecraft doesn't blow up on the launch pad with Valentina kerman inside:
You know, the Saturn V rocket may have been a freaking workhorse...
But the SLS can fucking MOVE!
2:55 The satisfaction of a 60bpm song synced with the countdown clock
This does bring a smile to my face. Well done sir and Godspeed Artemis!
The ignition shot made it feel like something out of an older video game
If I was ever on board for one of these. I would have this song on blast. Synced up just like this.
Lightning struck outside my window making a bright yellow flash right during the riff. Pog
That was so crazy to see. I was outside watching and all of a sudden the clouds turn a dark orange color, and then you see the bright, tiny, glowing line of the fire from the thrusters going high in the sky.
That's it. This is now tradition for every future Artemis Mission.
Dude. Deadass this gave me chills
I deadass thought for a second that NASA streamed ksp footage and I was absolutely bewildered
"orang rocket go brrrr" and "Play freebird" goes amazingly well together... Didn't know that i needed to know that, but im satisfied... :D
You know what, this is somehow even more epic than the live launch was.
Now I know exactly what to do for Artemis 2
“Humans are nothing but small little specs in the universe, we are born to breed work and di-“
ARTEMIS 1 LAUNCH IN SYBC WITH FREE BIRD :
Now that is a glowing bird.
I remember I went to this launch, most insane thing I'd ever seen. Unforgettable.
I played this when playing my dad at launch cause I love space and free bird. Then, he blundered and I forked his queen at the exact moment the riff started. This is magical.
Right before the booster rockets cut out, all rockets are providing 5.6 million pounds of thrust. At such point, it is producing over 18 million horsepower.
My Kia produces almost 38 million horsepower under full boost.
@@LisaAnn777😂😂 you mean your cute Kia produces maybe 2 to 5 psi of boost.
For all mankind creators when they need to chose a song for a suborbital rocket that was in the show 500 times:
It's enough to make a grown man cry
NASA, ever since Apollo 17: "Lord help me, I can't change..."
Seeing this in person from my window, was amazing
The launch mix with this song gives such a learn to fly 3 vibe
this brings me so much joy i can not explain
Idk but there is something beautiful about a controlled explosion propelling science into space
It kind of gives me some For All Mankind vibes with the music matching launches. Good job!
Everyone Else: Skipping to the part where it launches to hear the guitar solo
Me: Listening to the whole song vibing
