Glad to see it finally up there. I spent 2 days at Cape Canaveral to see it launch and it never went, although I did see a Falcon 9 one of the days. Would've been great to have had two launches in one day, 1-2 hours apart....stupid weather.
@@valles_marineris8955 sure? Looks so white and the nozzle cam showed the earth in the back. I could be wrong. Or is it possible that the 2nd stage rotated before letting the satellite go away...?
The reason for not recovering any of the first stage boosters and center core are due to high altitude deployment requirements for this mission, which requires all boosters to expend almost 100% of their fuel, leaving nothing left for the recovery maneuver procedures.
So it will either be fired again to reenter the atmosphere if their is sufficient propellant, it will be raised to a graveyard orbit or it will just stay their in that orbit and become yet more space junk
At this altitude objects never return to earth on their own, EVER. They would have moved it to the GEO grave yard orbit. It is where all end of life GEO sats and rocket stages are moved to. Several hundred km higher than the GEO orbit (which is 35786km). Google "grave yard orbit" for more info.

That was pretty short and sweet.
Thanks for posting - i really wanted to see this big satellite pushed out of the bay. love it.
Hello from Columbus Ohio at955am on the may day 2023
That seems pretty close to geostationary altitude
On video 0:46 , is it shown the moon going by in the background?
Earth
34000km above, 20k miles for freedom unit types. That's wild

The moon is something like 250,000 miles away, that was Earth.
@@christopherturcotte3978 okay, thx
Why did they cut away from the first deployment so quickly?
It’s fake

What happens to the first stage?
Crashed into the Atlantic ocean
All 2 side booster and center core are expendable this time..no recover

@@caugfer this is it..
You cleared my queries now..👍

Hey, these rockets are polluting the atmosphere. Shouldn't there be an electric version by.
Fully electric rockets aren't possible
And....... what happens now to the expended 2nd stage ?
It's 34,000km up there.
What is its fate over the next year, decade, century ?

Question, this image appears to show Earth at a minimum of 20,000 miles. True?
Yep
Yes
What happens to the second stage, will it do a deorbit burn to reduce space junk?
No, not feasible at all when getting a payload to GEO.
Will be moved to graveyard orbit. This is a several hundred km higher than the exact GEO orbit of 35786km.
Lot of dead time between launches. That gravity launch was like a torpedo launch from expanse.
I'd rather see the satellite not this barista
