Tim thanks so much for covering this it's better than watching it live somewhere else. Had to wait till lunch I'll finish tonight. So exciting. Your channel is the single best space information channel.
Tim, rocket science IS really intimidating. But when things go over my head, you're enthusiasm and knowledge and simplification of everything relating rockets helps me to learn and enjoy these things with you! Welcome home, Bob and Doug
I am not really good in english, but You, man, was the very first I saw on YT to cover these things. There are many others wich want to do the same, but You, man, is the most involved, enthusiastic, etc. So I am staying wiht You and Your chanel.

Tim, As always I join your stream because I learn something new each time! You create such a great event regardless of what’s happening. Agree with your view about ‘Team Space’ where it’s all about humanity and exploration. I watched the SpaceX stream on another system while listening/watching your stream. Listen to the closing statements from the announcers. The SpaceX employee starts to get choked up talking about the commitment to their mission. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can get choked up watching a launch because the amount of dedication and work is off the charts. I admire and envy SpaceX employees. Hope they all feel this way when they see the results of all their individual efforts towards the end result. Elon has made our ‘trampoline’ something the world only wishes they could do. So if there is a more than a bit of National Pride in my tone, I will own that too. Kudos to NASA, SpaceX and people such as yourself for making this all happen and allowing us to be a witness to these historic events. Without your enthusiasm to spread knowledge, we most likely wouldn’t have a glimpse of how tremendous these events and capabilities are to mere mortals. Today’s success, will only allow more science to occur while travel being less expensive. Also will allow more frequent trips due to reduced cost. Indeed, this is a great time to be alive despite all the other challenges. Looking forward to September! See you there and along the way...
Go team space. Tim you are amazing. Love your car flashing when the rocket was taking off! I know it was from the shockwave, but we can pretend the car knew what was going on.
First of all, apologies on "Norminal" lol, I didn't know that was an in joke. Also, I have to say how much I enjoy watching your streams - I always end up learning so much from it. You are by far the best commentary available on all things space. Others may know more, but you are true to your mission statement, and explain it all for everyday people. Thank you so much for all your hard work. -A fellow space fanatic
Yeah, good reason to have men do the broadcast. Imagine her performance if there would have been a bad outcome. It'll happen someday. Don't need adult children making it worse and setting back human progress more than it already is
Don't be a hoser, eh!🤣 One thing about Bob; They should call him Super Bob. He somehow manages to fit the word Super into every other sentence. I like his enthusiasm, but he needs a thesaurus
Pretty sure Scott Manley did a video on the radio beeps. If I recall correctly they originally were required because the radio link could only support telemetry or radio at a time not both. So the beep was to direct the telecommunications equipment to flip back and forth from radio to telemetry. It was removed in the shuttle era. When technology meant the relays didn't need to be triggered anymore as there was now the bandwidth to do radio and telemetry concurrently. But crews had grown used to it and used it for cueing their transmissions, so NASA put it back in artificially on purpose!
watching your coverage after the fact! Thanks for that. It seems to me future recoveries should be accompanied by the Coast Guard. funny thought, several of the early cosmonauts were greeted by farmers upon landing! Gagarin and Leonov to name a few.
The coast guard was there clearing the area, but after splashdown it got away from them. Spacex said they will increase the number of ships in the future.
If dragon was landing near me, I would be going out to check it out... i would stay my distance of course but why not, as long as im not stopping them from doing their job.
Is there any footage during the fiery part of re-entry from inside the capsule? I read that it was bumpy etc. I can’t find any footage on YT. If there isn’t any, why not?
You are great Tim! Your dedication has made your channel the go-to place for these kind of events! Are the thrusters used to "fly" the "spaceship" on re-entry using hypergolics (my guess is not, but what do you know)? And it would be great if you could address if the SpaceX landings are more accurate than the NASA ocean landings. When I was a kid it seemed like it took a while for the Navy to get to (let alone find, sometimes) the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury capsules. Now it seems like they land within a 1/2 Km of the recovery ship. ...Just saw on your feed the commentator state the recovery ship is within a couple of miles of the the recovery site. Still, it seems like they really jump on those spaceships when they land. Perhaps they can move faster because they don't use aircraft carriers as recovery vehicles.
Yes, the thrusters are hypergolic. The first boat that went in was checking the air for fumes. tracking and control systems have advanced somewhat in the last fifty years. That's why we only need one recovery ship, and not an entire carrier battle group for the purpose.
@@mikejhorn No, they're perfectly throttleable, as long as they are designed to be. Now, the Superdracos used for aborts, as a result of replacing adjustable valves with burst disks after the pad explosion, are not throttleable or controllable in any way, but the RCS thrusters are.
I wonder if there is any way to harness some of that thermal energy from reentry to generate power or cooling systems for crew? nerdy i know but it would be interesting to see if it can be done. some version of peltier type thermal generators but on a super scale to handle the extreme heats, or some other way to harness the power of the plasma generated. its all energy so be interesting to see if there a way to harness it
Adiabatic compression. Take a bicycle pump as well as a wheel and pick a place out of the sun with a stable temperature and wait for them to reach equilibrium. Now pump up the tyre! You will now be able to note them the pump is a lot warmer than it started, the tyre should be a little as well. This is not down to friction, but adiabatic compression. It is the same effect a space vehicle encounters on reentry as the air cannot get out of the way fast enough and is compressed instead...
I would love for an Everyday Astronaut fan who works at SpaceX MCC to throw in a "Norminal" once or twice over the radio for you Tim. Kind of like an Everyday Astronaut version of the Super Troopers "Cat Game"... Meow!

So the trunk is seperated before the de-orbit burn. Meaning the trunk is left in orbit as space junk? Or will the tiny amount of atmosphere eventually slow the trunk down so it will burn up? I don't get it.
@@drabberfrog hmm, it would help if we'd knew the altitude at which the trunks are jettisoned. If they stay in orbit for a long period of time, they should have a TLE and COSPAR-ID, no?
2:00:00 The ground crew are wearing Breathing Apparatus (basically the same as used by firefighters) in case of fire and toxic gases, while the wombats in their boats gather around. I hope next time there is an exclusion zone - for the safety of the CREW, bugger the wombats.
@77gravity Lol. They remind me of the bounty-hunter weekend warriors in “Jaws.” But, tbh, if I’d been offered a ride with one of them, I’d be on that boat.
It took so long to open because it took them awhile to get the bottom hatch open so they could climb out of the boat into the bottom of the capsule and then out the hatch! Why isn't the hatch charred when everything surrounding it is?
@@odysseusrex5908 thanks for the answer. If that is the case, why not design it to be able to connect to the space station as a module? At least the solar panels would be useful. More important, it will be simply the re-entry process. Right?
@@markl9808 The Trunk is unpressurized so it can't be a module. While dragon is attached to the station, it continues to receive power from its own solar cells on the trunk. I don't know what you mean by, "It will simply the re-entry process." Did you leave out a word or two? I hate it when I do that. Any way, after undocking but before reentry, the capsule separates from the trunk, and the trunk then burn up on reentry.
@@odysseusrex5908 sorry, typo, should be "simplify re-entry process". I would imagine if you don't have to separate the truck from the capsule, there would be one thing less to worry about (the truck collision with the capsule), is it not?
Those were originally intended for propulsive landing. they are really too powerful for deorbit burn. Besides which, as a result of the redesign after last year's test pad explosion, it is no longer possible to throttle or control them in any way, you turn them on, and they burn at full power until the fuel runs out. And on top of that, again due to the redesign, if the were fired the spacecraft would require very substantial refurbishment replacing the burst disks that have replaced the valve system that caused the explosion.
Does anyone think people might be allowed to watch splash downs from a safe distance like launches ? Honestly I think it would be cool to watch at a safe distance .
If the coast Guard was there to intimidate the onlookers , there would be no problem. They used war ships for all the previous splashdowns and had no problems. Plus they could have landed the capsule farther out to sea where there are no boaters !
I remember the two astronauts saying how they look forward to puking together at this splashdown and recovery operations... Yep I just remembered that. They are weak from being in space and just went through re-entry and splashdown then they're hoisted at an angle, could this have put them over the limit and into projectile vomiting? lol
Tbh I see no issue with people being around as long as they stay back like 100-200 meters. At first I'd 100% agree they were to close but boaters in general are safe and have no interest in being a pain. The first ones there probably pulled up to ask if they needed help with anything haha! They also don't want to hurt their boats by hitting something like the big capsule or fouling their props in the chutes any more then the recovery team wants that to happen. (Note all the local boaters backed off when asked even though they didn't have to. But if SpaceX doesn't want to see this happen again it's as simple as not releasing the LZ to the public I would assume)
they can't do it though, that's just the thing. Due to the redesign after the explosion, replacing valves with burst disks, the Superdracos can not be controlled. When fired, they burn at maximum thrust until they run out of fuel, period.
you have to admit the whole water pickup was a comedy of errors and whats with the tiny old fishing boat I kept thinking "your going to need a bigger boat!"
@justjohnny05 Former rescue diver here. Small inflatables are great for initial interception. Quick, manoeuvrable, easy to roll off of and reboard, and they do no damage if you bump into things with them. Not to get too real here, but you can slide an unconscious person from the water onto the boat deck effortlessly and without unintended trauma to the patient.

Um. Why? Bigger boat, more fuel cost, more crew. SpaceX has been pretty consistent about efficiency. :D

Small inflatables are great for initial interception. Quick, manoeuvrable, easy to roll off of and reboard, and they do no damage if you bump into things with them.
Not to get too real here, but you can slide an unconscious person from the water onto the boat deck effortlessly and without unintended trauma to the patient.
Surprised you haven't gotten a copyright strike yet.
