Did anyone else get fascinated by the vortexes in the cloud formations around 3:25 - 3:40 or so? It's where the clouds interact with an island mountain and so creates the mini spirals as winds push the clouds around the top of the mountain. Absolutely beautiful!
What a majestic sight … the Polaris Dawn Crew.. and all who work in at and for SPACE X… can be truly proud for their achievements on that historic day… the sight still sends tingles at the pure beauty of our planet. Congratulations to all… just love it …..
Incredible views! Just imagine how thin the atmosphere actually looks like from space! It's so thin, yet it keeps everything alive!! Thanks for sharing!!
Heavens looking down on humanity:"what the, we built you a perfect celestial body to live and thrive on?" Humans:"yes, but we do techno rave in space, is good"
Draco party Those are the thrusters They change the orbit of the space craft The weird thing about them is they’re place on top of the capsule It almost confuses my brain to look at it However, starliner follows the traditional style by having thrusters on the bottom like Soyuz, Gemini and shuttle. SpaceX literally said pointy end and flamey end up
@@Sebidkk The reason you can hear it is because the camera is attached to the same structure so the sound is from the vibration propagating through the structure of the craft. If the camera were detached from the capsule and just floating along, you wouldn't hear anything. It's not the exhaust from the thrusters you are hearing but rather the control mechanisms for the thrusters. The clicking sound you hear is almost certainly solenoid valves opening and closing.
Oh my god. These views of Dragon orbiting Earth just amaze me. What a wonderful mission Polaris Dawn was. Congratulations! Here's to Polaris 2 and the Starship test flights!
This is absolutely STUNNING! The most beautiful overview of our planet. This always reminds me, that SPACE is just emptiness, we actually live in HEAVEN in the middle of this huge nothingness. Planet EARTH is a haven, we are so privileged to be alive in this biosphere. And obviously a sphere it is! THANK YOU for sharing this amazing footage! Space-X is creating not just a new world but a true planetary perspective! 🙏

_"The Southern Pacific Railroad effectively divides the Salt Lake into a north arm and a south arm; this causeway significantly impacts the water flow and salinity levels between the two sections of the lake."_
I saw someone else's comment above and checked it out, indeed the great salt lake is divided right across the middle by a railroad, and there are plenty of photos of it where the difference in color is very apparent. So I guess that's what that is.
The salinity difference has created two different ecosystems on the lake. The south arm is dominated by blue-green algae, which colors the water green. On the north arm, higher salt content has allowed the growth of the alga Dunaliella Salina. This alga and the beta-carotene and bacteria it releases (Haloarchaea) imbue the north arm water with a distinctive wine red color.
Our lives are so tiny compared to the age of the universe, yet in those brief glimpses of consciousness we have learned so much about it, as it becomes more clear that we still know so little. Ultimately we may never know, but we can't stop.
The borders are very much needed, otherwise the humans that build and create would not be alive. It's 2024 and it's hard to keep them safe with borders as it is
So beautiful. Space exploration is so fundamental to the evolution of our species. It means the industrialization of space and a greener and brighter future for our planet, the human race and all species we share our planet with.
My Great Grandfather’s were killed off one by one. We were the Armstrong’s. The direct line. The Border Clan. We were the monarchy and worked for the monarchy to protect the people! My ancestors go back to King C’Nut. Keep doing what you are doing, I love you for this. Stay safe.💪🏽
It was a 'working' vaca, but a vacation nonetheless. How many people get to play 'space music' in space for the man who composed it? Cool music hall indeed.
Did you notice the split in half lake at 4:20 ? It´s the Great Salt Lake in Utah It was cut in two parts by a Railway line going across the shallow lakebed. But there are no rivers flowing into the southern part of the lake therefore it turned saltier and saltier and this is why it changed colour

@@thomasboese3793 In the other thread people have identified the city as Los Angeles. Elsewhere, many ask about the appearance of the Salt Lake at 4:25, which is due to a railroad separating the lake into two halves with different salinity and algae levels.
People don't seem to realize that Polaris has sent humans the furthest away from Earth in a long time, since the Apollo program. The furthest we've been in recent years, and by that I mean STS-125 which went to go repair the Hubble Space Telescope back in 2009, has only been around 500 km. Polaris Dawn took humans to over twice that distance at about 1,400 kilometers or 870 miles away from Earth. It may not seem like much, but to you folks out there saying that we're not capable of going back to the Moon, the fact that SpaceX of all companies managed to send humans this far out means we're still very much capable. We just don't have the money to do it. Godspeed to all mankind!
I can not vouch for the accuracy of it but I remember a teacher who used to tell us that on the scale of the desk-top globe that was in the classroom he said the atmosphere (breathable) would be 1 coat of paint and 3 coats of paint it's unbreathable.
@@TheEvilmooseofdoom sounds about right a 30cm desk globe is about 1 [to (edited to replace colon)] 40,000,000 scale. 4km of thick air would be a tenth of a millimetre? I like to think we're all in space all the time, zooming around on our big crusty rock droplet, looking up at night to see out of our thin fluid film, with orbital astronauts barely outside the film - so close we could almost high five. Maybe not that last bit.
Being up really high & exploring space are two vastly different things. What we’re witnessing is the golden era of space tourism for rich people. If a human ever leaves the geocorona then we can talk about space exploration.
