Its not spacex invention to make a rocket landing again. Nasa did it more of a quarter century earlier in the 90s. Just nobody of the young folks remembers. Everyone rather want to woship Elon Musk as a tech-Jesus. Although everything Musk does is invented even thousand years earlier (like the tunnel for cars) , or it simply doesnt works , like his hyperloop. But people who love Elon Musk nowadays say, the hyperloop only was a concept nothing more. Of course... But i assure you: if it worked, everyone would say: Musk literally planned it that way.. And Musk was even saying (i quote) : ''Its like an air hockey table within a tube.. i swear its really not that hard'' (looked like it was that hard ;) ) .
When I was 2 years old my mom woke me up from my nap and put me in front of our black and white TV so that I'd be able to sit here and say I watched Neil Armstrong, the first human being, walk on the moon. I have no memory of it but she swears by it. Watching rockets lift off is such a beautiful sight. Love y'all!
Beautiful in more ways than one; the spectacle of the launch itself, but also the science that went into the making of these rockets; a testament to human ingenuity. The lady in the video seems to appreciate that.
Same, I was about a year and a half old and watched it with my parents, but obviously have no memory of it. About the earliest clear memory I have of a TV event was the Watergate hearings and Nixon's resignation and Ford being sworn in. I have a fuzzy memory of who Mark Spitz was and the 1972 Summer Olympics.
Dr. Robert H.

"It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow." Dr. Robert H. Goddard, Rocket Scientist
Nothin special about a booster catch, against what Nasa did more than a half century ago , when they sucessfully landed a man on the moon... No they not only promised year by year ''next year it will happen'' ... no they did it. Musk cant even send a Banana into orbit by now (it was not in orbit, but on a parabol flight - for a short time in space). Now THATS the comparison between Nasa, and selfclaimed techgenius Elon Musk.
Gives me chills! I loved watching many shuttle launches over the years… right from my east facing bedroom window, here in Florida! I was so sad when they retired all the shuttles and discontinued the program.😢
If you look for them here on YT, there are a couple of channels that regularly televise, live, various launches, not just the American ones. Seen launches of Japanese, Chinese, Indian, EU and American vehicles. It never gets old watching these rockets launch.
Miss Sobia is correct about people being on the space shuttle. She is also correct about them exploding. In 1986 the space shuttle Challenger, that was carrying a high school science teacher exploded right after it was launched. Miss Sobia has a way of understanding not just what is happening, but what all the outcomes could be. Smart lady.
I personally never seen a space rocket launch in person… but the noise it produces is muffled by a system of gallons and gallons of water rushing through a system of pipelines so it comes out like massive gushing fountains… only to hear the sound later literally pounding your body without knocking you down.
I live in Florida and have gotten to visit the space center. The smoke when it lifts off is actually steam. There is a large tank underneath the launch pad that holds several hundred thousand gallons of water to absorb the heat and sound impacts from lift off. The rockets are so hot it boils and vaporizes out at launch
Social is a wise and sweet woman everyone is so wise in their outlook on things. But She thought of those people's safety first of all. Yes we lost people to the challenger when it did blow up with people on board it was tragic
Rockets use solid oxygen and hydrogen fuel. When ignited it explosively turns into pure water. All the plumes of smoke is just steam skipping the liquid stage completely and becoming steam. It’s a show of pure scientific power. It’s not easy creating the fuel in the first place as it takes time and effort and the complexity of making the two gases actually freeze instead of heating which what they would do naturally under pressure. A single spark is all it takes to ignite the fuel. The actual thrusters are designed to control the flow of flame to lift off. Tiny bursts create maneuvering.
The three main shuttle engines burned (atomized ?) LIQUID Hydrogen and Oxygen (from the large tank), so all they produced was water vapor as exhaust, and all you saw was the glow at the rocket nozzles. Those big engines were used ONLY to propel the Shuttle up into orbit around the Earth. Then the big fuel tank separated, and burned up as it fell back into the atmosphere. The side boosters burned a Solid rocket fuel containing aluminum, oxygen and other chemical elements (hence the smoke). Once they were lit, they just kept burning, Uncontrolled, until the fuel was mostly gone. They then separated, fell back, and parachuted into the ocean, to be recovered, re-assembled, and reused on later launches. Once in orbit, the shuttles used ONLY much smaller rocket thrusters, to "nudge" their orbit, and later slow the shuttle down JUST enough that it sliced back into Earth's atmosphere (like a meteor), gradually slowing down, and gliding to its landing. Those smaller thrusters - the "hypergolic" Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) - combined (very Nasty) Hydrazine with Nitrogen Tetroxide (The two spontaneously ignite, upon mere contact - answering the "deniers" question of "how did rockets work, in the 'airless vacuum' of space"). The Apollo lunar missions also used Hydrogen/Oxygen for their Main engine burns, and the hypergolic OMS thrusters for fine maneuvers. It was an accidental overheating (and uncontrolled venting) of a liquid oxygen tank that "ruptured" the (cylindrical) Service Module of Apollo 13, causing them to abort that mission.
@@stuartparker-q3o Now thats what i call a intelligent educated answer. Very rare in comment sections. I also liked that you pointed out, that the oxygene and hydrogene becomes vapor , and not (steam as the first comment said). Big difference. Steam we wouldnt see. Condensed Vapor is what we see. Also the rest of your comment was very informative and educating, telling that you know your stuff. I am impressed (because its so rare).
@@mfree80286 OK I did not know that detail: Thanks for clarifying. Hopefully the high combustion temperature minimized the organic combustion byproducts [I deal with chemically polluted sites - mainly VOCs and SVOCs].
Nice video. But, when watching a video of a rocket launch it's hard to appreciate it without comparing it to things that are more familiar. I Googled and found some. For example, by the time the shuttle clears the tower (about 8 seconds after launch) it's already going about 100MPH/160KPH which is faster than most cars can go. It takes a few seconds less than one minute for it to climb higher than Mt. Everest and it's going about as fast a pistol bullet. Rockets are so loud that if you were less than about 1/2 kilometer from it at launch the sound alone would make you not alive.
A reusable shuttle which was in space and lands again on earth with people is much more advanced than a booster which never was in space, and lands again.
@@apocalypsegamer8462 the STS was a masterpiece of engineering, a real benchmark of humanity, and almost completely the wrong tool for the job it ended up with. We were delivering packages with a Ferrari box truck.
I wonder how the wonderful lady would react knowing that almost none of the people responsible for for that rocket beleve there is a god. in fact I think most of them would be offended to think their intelligence was a "gift from god" ✌&❤
Why do you show them these old ahh launches with old tech? Falcon 9 launches and landings and Starship orbital flight tests are much more exciting. They would love the catch of the superheavy booster and the starship reentry footage

Really freak them out and show them a SpaceX rocket where the booster comes back down and lands after the launch !
The first time I saw that, I thought they were running the video backwards on the news!! 😂 Amazing!

You should show them the Starship booster catch... then show them people working on it for scale. Show how really big it is after they watch a catch.

That space shuttle was awesome but since they have completed the Star wars program they don't need it anymore now SpaceX has taken over
Next show them a video of the Terex 33-19 titans, the world's largest dump trucks
The Space Shuttle is so.... yesterdecade. It is obsolete.
You might show them the SpaceX booster landing back on earth...
Yes show them new Rocket launches that’s very old news
A reusable shuttle which was in space and lands again on earth with people is much more advanced than a booster which never was in space, and lands again.

Who cares how old it is? It’s fascinating for them and they are enjoying it.
you should show them the space x booster catch
Show them a Saturn V launch.
