The Great Loop 043 Rockets on the Space Coast

- Titusville will always remind me of rough water and rocket launches. Perhaps the wind isn't constantly crazy all the time, but for the three weeks I spent on that mooring ball and that one nutty day I came into the marina, it was mostly a nightmare. Juxtaposed were a few calm days and the wonder and awe of my proximity to one of the most amazing places on Earth: The Kennedy Space Center. I witnessed little pieces of several launches while approaching, staying and leaving that area of Florida. Clouds, distance and user error prevented me getting a better view and a decent video capture. Still, despite all the set backs, it was a magical and memorable part of my Great Loop journey.

Gonna say something, but i mean this in the best way possible. Sometimes i get this Mr. Rogers vibe from you Marty. Mostly just in the calm cool delivery. Explaining stuff, and talking about new friends and discoveries. That also ties in a little with your going back to childhood moments at the end. Everything about your videos is calming.
Sean you are not alone, Mr. Rodges is the first "association" that came to mind when I was introduced to Marty's Videos!😇
Youre a hero Mr. Zoffinger.
Many of you commenting sound like you never graduated first grade.
😂 Love how you had a childhood favorite, too funny
Two years ago we took pur ten year old grandson to the KSC. He was unimpressed. I was in awe of actually seeing what I have been watching on tv for 50 years.
I hear ya. Hard to impress kids these days, or find common ground
My Grandparents used to live there. Saw a Shuttle launch without knowing it was going to...and rubbed a Manatees belly while fishing with my Grandfather. Magical place...I remember Rush’s Signals album was just out and had it playing on my fake Walkman...Thanks for sparking those memories...Safe Travels😀
Very interesting update thanks Marty! More please! Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Marty, I lived in south FL for a spell & loved it. Cape Coral/ Ft Myers. I regret leaving 20+ yrs ago. You give me motivation to get back down there and I want to thank you for that. You're living the life that I also want...dogs included. Your vids are very entertaining & informative and are a pleasure to watch! Thank you, sir for keeping it up. Much love & safe travels
You got my vote, blue skies, blue water, palm trees, green grass, it’s happy happy happy down here. Move on back!
@@ar15gator Im seriously considering it! Just need to find employment and housing down there and I'm GONE!
@@SconsinJoe If you have a “skill” / solid career, you’ll find work easy, they say the south doesn’t pay as much, not true if you have a “skill” with a great work history, employers want qualified, dedicated workers. Me personally, I was Florida born, yankee raised, came back down to Florida in 2014, got a job and bought a house same day, worked till COVID came along which made me retire early @56 last year(04/2020). It’s all good, finally enjoying life, putting me first, it’s been about my self-care, have a great wife, so a great life. Just Keep The Faith, housing is an issue these days a bit, higher $$$, but jobs are here. I used a head hunter, to get me down here, then again second time, which actually he approached me for a company looking for a Florida guy. We keep it simple and live well, hope you make it back down. I met Marty last year or so, good guy for sure. Stay well!
@@ar15gator Ive been a facility manager for 5 yrs and currently a service tech for apartment communities here in Madison WI. Have an associate degree in building trades carpentry but its back breaking work. Ive craiglisted housing down there but all results are for high end apts for 1200+. Its a bit discouraging
@@SconsinJoe Awwwwwww, you have some definite marketable skill sets, Keep The Faith, keep looking, keep trying, head hunter worked great for me. Sometimes you have to live in a different area from your Plan A, you’ll find something, job first, then housing. Best of luck!!!!
Thanks for the tour makes me want to go now
Yes, you were there. Is nice to be so close to a rocket!
The TH-cam bell forgot to tell me about this one. Excellent video, sir.
watching the launch from the time laps is still cool
Totally agree with visiting Atlantis. Awesome experience. I was there last month just before you Marty
Thanks for sharing this video , I like rockets , I had a family member that worked for NASA but we wasn't very close to really known each other and I was a kid when I meet him ... He was a real rocket scientist and I can't even remember his name ...
GREAT VIDEO ZOFF. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!.....A THUMB UP ON ALL YOUR VIDEOS . SEE YOU ON THE 5 !
I got some of that ice cream at the Neil Armstrong museum in Ohio and you're correct it was just the ice cream. I sure am loving the adventure and thank you both for bringing us along.
Glad to know you are doing better, and the dogs are doing better as well!
I remember it, too! I'm 67 and don't remember the exact year Mom and Dad took us there, probably in the late '60's but you're right, it was just an ice cream, no outer cookie. And YUM!
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures with us! Another great video Marty!
wonderful video, Marty. Well worth the wait.
that's why we watch your videos Zof! reminds me of being a carefree kid and doing whatever i wanted! Keep it up! i work on an oyster farm in Charleston SC. Its right on the ICW. I wonder everyday if i may see the Kon Tiki roll by. I hope i do! Would love to give you a tour of the farm and let you get a taste of SC if you decide to stay for a day or two. Tight lines!
Great Video Marty!
Nice time laps photos!
Marty, as usual great video.
Cool video, brought back good memories. Last family vacation was before the pandemic in August 2019. We went to the NASA space center.
Playing catch up on some missed videos.....noticed I missed this one some how.....dude that's crazy about the booster rockets. I guess I knew they had to come down just never thought about the ships that could be in the vicinity below!!!
We were at KSC few years ago and saw a launch it was an amazing sight to see..
Glad to see another post Marty…was beginning to think you were lost to the Bermuda Triangle…..😎
That ice cream is the best! I remeber it to from when i was a kid and i to remeber it with out the cookie sandwich it was just the delicious ice cream 😁👍 i have to get back down there its been soooo many years. Thanks for sharing that cool adventure you had. Cool rocket footage. 🍦🚀🛰🛸👍
Good Friday when Marty uploads. Looking good buddy!
What’s really cool is, on my Oculus quest 2 VR. There is a spaceship simulator and you sit in there you can look around, see your crew moving around and doing there little checks. You can look out the window at the tower and then it launches into space. Damn was it cool, technology now days man. They also sell freeze dried ice cream at Walmart. I looked into the machine so you can freeze dry things like ice cream, yeah pretty much have to take out a decent loan just to get that machine..... Very expensive set up.
I'm in Titusville right now. Sad I missed ya. That island has great Speckled Trout fishing off the south and east side of it, but you have to go a little further away than casting from shore. Kayak fishing there is pretty good. The water does get washing-machine pretty much every day around noon, but the mornings are always good, calm, and beautiful!
7:39 I checked to see if anyone else had mentioned this so I apologize if this has already been said. That is actually a ULA Delta 2 rocket and not a Falcon 9. Love the videos man!
Great video! You are closer to a launch than most people in the entire United States!! I would love to see that! Dogs are the best!!
Marty, think of those nick, dent, and scratches as the boat battle scars. The Great Loop is basically a long battle.
Is it just me or is this guy really good at editing videos. If living on a boat doesn't work out; maybe the entertainment industry.
Been a while .but still get to see u in the live at fives.peace be the journey.
They also sell the Neapolitan freeze dried ice cream at Walmart in the camping section. :-)
Nice man I love SpaceX
Fake
@@dickflinghammer58 Who fake? Better not be Zoffinger he’s the best YouTUBER
@@ZastenX Nah he's a great bloke but Space x is fake as fuck. Along with everything else were told. You didn't see the mouse crawling in the tail section of the rocket as it was "high above earth" (actually a warehouse lol). A roadster im space? C'mon mate...
The eyes closeup 😂
fantastic picture new camera?
Shirt is 🔥
Good to see you are upbeat Marty! Dogs playing on the beach and you fishing seems so right?😊👍
I've been to the Kenedy Space Center. The space shuttle looks like it was made from scrap metal from a junkyard.
Yep no ''cookie' in the originals back then. when you get up here in the western Erie Canal next year, I will get you some Buffalo Wings; Beef on Weck; Sahlen's hotdogs; a Garbage Plate and some Genesee beer for sure.
I need to visit it one day. I came close to many times but it is sooooo out of the way. I drove by nasa place in texas and by port canaveral in florida but that is as close as i ever got lol.
Great video...good to see you back on the screen!...keep plugging away!
It’s nice to see you again Marty finally you post something please don’t take so long to post your next video I really enjoy them LOL thank you
I would love to watch it live. I live in Austin, Texas not that far from the launch pad. Maybe someday....
Glad to see a new video. Hope all is well Marty.
If I were to just hear you talk, no video, you sound like Jim Caviezel and his role in Count of Monte Cristo.
Anyway, love watching the videos, you've made. Now I'm starting to get a few ideas of my own.
I plan to do something that I can take to the bay area of Surfside beach, TX. Any recommended skiffs for smooth, to slightly choppy waters?
7:34 Thats not the SpaceX Falcon9 thats a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta II rocket. It was a workhorse if a rocket, but is now retired. The Space center doesn’t have a Falcon9 on display yet.
that ice cream is probably from the same batch from 40years ago
Fortunately, if you are still at the cape you Cann see another one soon. They are launching about 2 a week
Those spoil islands are fun! But the EPA will no longer allow them...
Bummer about the launch.
Hey Marty, what is the best way to get ahold of you? Was trying to find out what anchor and weight you are using now and what your looking for. That way I can keep a look out for what you are wanting. I am about 40 miles north of you.
Mine is about 20 lbs and I'm looking to upgrade to around 50 or so. I'm tired of dragging!
@@zoffinger the Ronca 44lb would be more than enough for your boat. That anchor and your 100’ of chain will have you sleeping like a baby.
I'd like to do the great loop. I'm going to need a boat though. I only have a kayak right now.
Can we start Marty’s food review
Fine Dining with Skuncle Bofa!!! 😉
Yeah that brand and others only sell it in the cookie bar now. No more the 3 flavors stuck together, haven't seen it in a few yrs.
You can find it at Walmart in the camping section!
Thanks for sharing, another place I’ve seen on the great loop.
Too bad you missed the launch 🚀 😢
That blue rocket is actually not a Falcon 9. It is called a Delta-II which is made by a different company named United Launch Alliance (ULA). They are another rocket company but they do not re-use their rockets as SpaceX does. The Falcon 9 launch you saw was the same one I saw up in Jersey. But I saw the second stage of the rocket while it was making its last steps to get into orbit. You had the best show down there, Hopefully, you can see more of those! And thank you for this great content, it is always enjoyable to watch. Stay safe
I thought I had remembered seeing a SpaceX label on it. Wasn't sure though. The whole center seemed like it refused to acknowledge SpaceX. Kinda like the way Apple and PC computers seem always at odds.
@@zoffinger either way its still a really cool place to go
Next on this Channel: Rocket thrusted speedboats, right after finishing the great loop 😇
Fun fact: astronaut ice cream only flew once, on Apollo 8
Welcome to the space coast!
And I have been to KSC
such a great video Marty. So glad to see you put the bad times behind you and continue forward. I remember visiting that place as a kid as well growing up in Florida. I had the same Ice Cream. Kant wait to meet you guys in the coming weeks as you get closer to Savannah and Beaufort, SC.
Great to see another video Marty! I remember going to Kennedy Space Center as a kid, while we were still going to the moon! Keep the video's coming; short ones, long ones, they're all good. Hopefully Bayard is doing well and you can get some fishing in!
I’ve done an accidental time lapse. It stings.
Back then they had 2 types of freezdried ice-cream.
1. neoplotin
2. Neopolotin ice-cream sandwiches
My favorite was #1
I don't know why they discontinued it?!
You can still purchase it right now just go to Walmart it is in the camping section!
I grew up near Titusville!!!!
I sure wish you're video's were a little more up to date. The mug club thing is way to boring to sit through just to see where you're at. Thanks for sharing when you can though!
Weather channel says stay away from this area; Marty: OOoo let me get closer to get a better view!😂
since 1986 NASA mean Nead Another Seven Astronauts
I enjoy your videos, Marty! So relaxing and you show me places I'll probably never get to see in person. Thanks for taking me on your wild sea adventures! Deb from California 😊
Get the Danforth anchor for mud and sand, add the depth of water to height of deck above to calculate scope (5-10 x) length to depth. Take care, tom
At least your having a good time . Safe Trip Marty
