this is the kind of direct documentation of re-entry i have always wanted to see. THANK YOU. truly illustrates some of the daunting scales of things that all happen in 10 minutes.
It'd be great if they included a readout showing speed, so we could see how the different events impact it (ie. re-entry/atmospheric braking vs drogue parachutes & main parachutes).
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die." -Batty. This quote may have been from an award winning movie...but it makes sense to think about it. These astronauts really have seen things that hardly any other person on this planet would understand, unless they were actually there...I, for one, am one of those people that wish I could go there. To risk our life in order to become closer to our maker and to do it for a living. It almost brings tears to my eyes to see this and yet there is so much work to be done on our own planet.
Awesome video! The music, the view, all beautiful!! It made one feel when things are meant to be they flow. Despite a launch one day layer, Orion made through it all smooth. I believe all NASA and specially Orion's team, should be very proud of this. I'm just a whiteness and I am already.
The beautiful serene music doesn't really help alleviate the immense terror or how horrifyingly fast things are moving in the video, I mean seriously, DID YOU SEE HOW FAST THAT BAY COVER JUST FLEW OFF AND DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR?
Yeah I would much rather watch a lightning storm from a distance than ride a small pod at 20,000 mph burning through the atmosphere. There's a difference between witnessing an incident and physically partaking in it.
@@nusratparveen82 Yup it's him. Though, Looks like he's a little wus! LOL. Spaceflight is scary, but can't win anything without some risk. You need a little guts.
This video was overwhelming. In fact, I think it is the first video EVER over which I cried, AFTER watching it. On the way to work. And then AT work. Not sad tears, not happy tears. Something far more powerful. I can't even put it into words. At once we see the extreme, godlike technology of our species, and a visceral, highly violent, yet controlled tunneling into our air. Yet there was more; I felt a very spiritual connection (not least because I put my name on the chip that was onboard!). It was as if I was watching a birth, or the creation of new life. Created by us to return, born from oblivion, from darkness, from 'nothing'. A brutal and (comparatively) dangerous birth, subsiding to a gentle sinking, floating, and a soft, cushioned landing into the cradle of life; our ocean, our Earth. People must have wondered why a security guard was crying, while he walked through the mall.
Would have been nicer without the foo widescreen blur bars on the right and left side. Can't folks handle a non widescreen video? Otherwise, not bad. Glad to see the entire video, uncut.
The transition from the blackness of space to the blue of the sky at the 4 minute mark blew me away. It’s like someone flicked a switch and said welcome to earth. That’s how thin a layer separates us from the vastness of space. I find it hard to get my head around it
This was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. But seriously? No music credit for that piece? Someone deserves a shout-out, even if it is just an Eno or Vangelis track I don't recognize. And more-so if it's a lesser-known artist who could use the recognition.
Yeah, that was quite a trip! These fleeting moments in humanities experience are what make it all worth while. As you say, beautiful. The music really made it. I love ambling pieces, especially to space visuals. They marry perfectly. A credit would be nice.
It probably is the real color. When you create plasma in such thin atmosphere what you see is pretty much the same as the inside of the neon tube light. The color of the flame will depend on the composition of the gas.
This is great; would be even better with superimposed telemetry (altitude, v in m/s, delta v, and local mach, lat lon, G, and HUD symbology of vehicle centerline and the opposite of the velocity vector). I think I can see the flight path effect of holding a high AoA at about 9:52 and then a shift to a ballistic trajectory a few seconds later.
I had the same thought. Surely all that data was being recorded during the descent. It would be fascinating to compare it to the visual events, though there would surely be people complaining about all those numbers obstructing the view. Perhaps they'll release a followup with a telemetry layer for the geek audience.
This looks incredible. Great footage, NASA! There's nothing quite like experiencing it firsthand though. It's time for us to follow in the footsteps of the Apollo astronauts and leave low Earth orbit -- venture much deeper into space.
I pondered the same question myself. It seemed the parachutes "anticipated" an approaching chute by tucking in a bit allowing a gentle and brief bristle between the chutes. This video really gives a true appreciation for the engineering that goes into designing parachutes for manned spacecraft.
I hope with my whole being that this leads somewhere only our imaginations have been. Truly, the 2nd space age is here. Not because of colliding ideologies, but because we simply owe it to ourselves to fulfill our potential.
Incredible video, however on future videos could you please just leave black empty frame around video? The trend of filling the youtube format with blurry duplicate footage is very distracting. Awesome work, though!
woha such a altitide :) so i deducing there are around 2 min / 120-150 seconds of "blast"? and which point is with high temperature, or what colour show there the hottiest moment? thanks and welldone!
when those big parachutes went out i was like wait, how are they gona keep those from tangling up in the wind? and then lo and behold i see they ve made them so they just bounce off each other, like beach balls or blood cells or something! i have no idea how they did that but that is so cool and beautiful Bravo! humans.
Almost 50 years on from the Apollo missions and NASA are still using virtually the same method of propulsion to launch a rocket in to space and the same parachute system to return the command capsule to earth... Hardly awesome... The Wright Brothers managed to fly an aircraft 10 feet above the ground in 1903. Just 66 years later a rocket ship lifted off from Earth and sent men to the moon. Now that's awesome... Imo...
Was kind expecting the thing to roll over a few times, similar to how the saturn V command module re-entered. I guess the heat shields have gotten better over the last 45 years and can handle a full-on reentry without having to "cool down" like the saturn V did.
NASA! Next flight put a darn microphone on the camera so we can hear what that sounds like as it is atmosphere or air that will carry that sound. A mic weighs less than 2.75g for a top line mic to attach to the cameras! I bet it IS awesome to experience the whole ride in a video!
I came back to this video thinking of Kepler 452b. Wondering if there are beings on that planet, or others, that have also found us looking back through their telescopes unable to reach or communicate with us, as we them...
That was great and almost relaxing. I found the reddish violet ionization very beautiful. How about a version with the altitude counting down too? BTW buy more bandwidth for launches. I don't want to go through another feed freeze at the moment of liftoff again.
Why does one of the parachutes seem to be missing the checkered pattern? Edit: All the parachutes have unique patterns. I'm assuming this is for identification purposes.
Well that's any easy like and fav! Thank you NASA and "crew" for all your hard work and for sharing this incredible vantage point...humbling...really give's one the speed and height perspective......
Sorry about the double post but I do have a question: Is the video captured in human-perceivable wavelengths? In other words, is this what people aboard the spacecraft would see?
If you do some searching around you can find footage of another re-entry taken by an astronaut who bought a camera with him in re-entry and pointed it out the window
Great video! It would be nice to see an altitude countdown as well. The splashdown counter is useful, but it loses perspective to the uninitiated. Altitude is something readily understood by the broad audience.
Absolutely wonderful video! One of the most absorbing nine minutes I can remember. I would rather have seen it without the sidebars though, they just confuse things. In any case, thank you, thank you, thank you! I could not even tell what I was seeing when cuts from it were broadcast on the news networks.
Excellent video - cheers NASA. Looking at the plasma trail, I was reminded of a line from War Of The Worlds: "a beautiful, but somehow disturbing, sight". Beautiful without question, but the thought that that superheated plasma was being created only a few feet behind my head...8-0
The music for this video is perfect. From the eerie intro to the peaceful landing.
Seriously thank you to all the scientist's out there making stuff like this possible!
this is the kind of direct documentation of re-entry i have always wanted to see. THANK YOU. truly illustrates some of the daunting scales of things that all happen in 10 minutes.
I have to admit...that is one of the coolest videos I've seen, period.
If NASA's only purpose was to launch things into space in order to make cool videos, their mission would still be entirely worth while.
40+ years of watching videos from our space program and still loving it!! Way cool!
The surreal music adds extra sense of awe and wonder. Great job NASA!
It'd be great if they included a readout showing speed, so we could see how the different events impact it (ie. re-entry/atmospheric braking vs drogue parachutes & main parachutes).
Seeing the main chutes deploy and open at 6:30 is so beautiful!
Perhaps the best re-entry video available. What a show!
Not gonna lie, that was pretty badass!

Suggestion: add the spacecraft speed. That would cool.
The musics so mysterious and haunting, somebody deserves a shout out for that great piece.
It might be 'interstellar spheres' by william pearson
Its better if you look at the video with "On The Run" The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd ;) Belive me.
agree, perfect sound

The music production made it impressive. Whoever added the music during each stage is a true artist.
Beautiful! I also love the jellyfish-style action you've got going with the parachutes NASA! Hypnotic :)
Would have been nicer without the foo widescreen blur bars on the right and left side. Can't folks handle a non widescreen video? Otherwise, not bad. Glad to see the entire video, uncut.
Beautiful. At the beginning, it almost looks like a wormhole opening... at least what I've seen in sci-fi :)
I'm just watching it, and i can't say anything,just AMAZING!
THANK YOU NASA!
Finally, Been waiting for this.
Seriously, why would you give this a thumbs down?
The Flat Earth Society or hipsters complaining about the music.
Star Wars fans, they hate Star Trek or anything else based in Science.
Yea. I was quite curious about that myself. I really would like to know the progression of thoughts that led to a dislike in the voters head..
The incredibly boring music, i guess
I thinks foreiners that hate the USA
I couldn't stop watching this. Thanks NASA for the video.
I really like that view. I liked the drone video of Orion falling down to drogue deployment. What a view that was.
What is the music score? Sounds like something that would result from a collaboration between Brian Eno and Lustmord.
Hello. How did thay manage to overlay the same video on background?
Is there some manual on youtube how to do that? Thx
What a finale! Brava you steady vessel!
Utterly enchanting, music and video, its hard to find the right words
Human ingenuity is astounding!

One of NASA's best films. A public treasure. (although Apollo 11 will never be beat)

yes i would very much also like to know who made it :)
Yeah, that was quite a trip! These fleeting moments in humanities experience are what make it all worth while. As you say, beautiful. The music really made it. I love ambling pieces, especially to space visuals. They marry perfectly. A credit would be nice.
H.u.v.a. network? Lets call it "borrowing electrons"
i agree, i wish i knew which music this was and who made it.
Eno did that Apollo album and more stuff for NASA. Might be from some of that stuff. My copy's vinyl and no turntable here, so ...
What is the music used in this video; I'd like to know please! Thanks.
+Eric luriergo
I had the same question.
The music sounds a bit like Brian Eno to me.
@@geekyoyd Yeah! Whoever it might be, kudos to sound designer.
Perfect and spectacular, thank you NASA !
Awesome video. If I could add a wish, I'd like a velocity counter just to get a clearer grasp of the friction the capsule endures during re-entry.
Is the color of the plasma actually purple or is it the camera getting a lot of Infrared light?
It probably is the real color. When you create plasma in such thin atmosphere what you see is pretty much the same as the inside of the neon tube light. The color of the flame will depend on the composition of the gas.
This is great; would be even better with superimposed telemetry (altitude, v in m/s, delta v, and local mach, lat lon, G, and HUD symbology of vehicle centerline and the opposite of the velocity vector). I think I can see the flight path effect of holding a high AoA at about 9:52 and then a shift to a ballistic trajectory a few seconds later.
I hope they post another video with all of that too
One day I'll understand everything you just said...
I had the same thought. Surely all that data was being recorded during the descent. It would be fascinating to compare it to the visual events, though there would surely be people complaining about all those numbers obstructing the view. Perhaps they'll release a followup with a telemetry layer for the geek audience.
Next time, put a GoPro on the antenna connected via USB. Should give you all that stuff you just said....
Yes!
This looks incredible. Great footage, NASA! There's nothing quite like experiencing it firsthand though. It's time for us to follow in the footsteps of the Apollo astronauts and leave low Earth orbit -- venture much deeper into space.
Awesome. Seeing the edge of the window makes it more like being there
I'm still impressed that besides all the science in all of this, in the disclaimer nasa still uses mph instead km/h or m/s.
What keeps the three red and white main parachutes from getting tangled up? They seem to bounce off each other without collapsing into a deflated bag.
I pondered the same question myself. It seemed the parachutes "anticipated" an approaching chute by tucking in a bit allowing a gentle and brief bristle between the chutes. This video really gives a true appreciation for the engineering that goes into designing parachutes for manned spacecraft.
CGI
Ackyman Thanks for the laugh
***** you agree, or disagree?
Ackyman Nah,
I hope with my whole being that this leads somewhere only our imaginations have been.
Truly, the 2nd space age is here. Not because of colliding ideologies, but because we simply owe it to ourselves to fulfill our potential.
Some day, I hope the same video will be shared, but of us on another planet, falling into it's ocean.
Thank you dreamers who made this happen..
Incredible video, however on future videos could you please just leave black empty frame around video? The trend of filling the youtube format with blurry duplicate footage is very distracting. Awesome work, though!
Could you please post a version with actual audio instead of music? I'm very curious to know what it sounds like... BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!
...what are the drogue parachutes for? still just for additional speed reduction so that the main chutes don't get torn off when deployed?
woha such a altitide :) so i deducing there are around 2 min / 120-150 seconds of "blast"? and which point is with high temperature, or what colour show there the hottiest moment? thanks and welldone!
Wow!@4:01 in the video, watch the dark sky turn to blue! Amazing!
when those big parachutes went out i was like wait, how are they gona keep those from tangling up in the wind? and then lo and behold i see they ve made them so they just bounce off each other, like beach balls or blood cells or something! i have no idea how they did that but that is so cool and beautiful Bravo! humans.

This is soo dope!!! Ive always wanted to see what it looks like from a astronaut perspective!!
Always been wanting to see this. Ever since I've watched record of the Apollo missions.
8:38 what are those two white dots moving so quickly .. can be seen at right-down corner of the video !!
That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Godspeed.
Brilliant video, music sets it off nicely!
Main chutes bouncing back and forth reminds me of a Jellyfish "Mosh Pit".Albeit a very mellow one.
Great music!
Who composed it?
Where can I buy it?
Any clue of the objects seen at 8:24?
Just curious.
Was kind expecting the thing to roll over a few times, similar to how the saturn V command module re-entered. I guess the heat shields have gotten better over the last 45 years and can handle a full-on reentry without having to "cool down" like the saturn V did.
Does the bay cover parachutes back into the ocean.
I keep thinking how much it looks like the outline of a person or being, berry trippy in any case!
I just blissed out on that music.
0:35 Looks like a teleportation from another dimension and space-time. Cool!
Just like Science fiction.
One of the coolest videos I've seen!
NASA, thank you for making us dream.
NASA! Next flight put a darn microphone on the camera so we can hear what that sounds like as it is atmosphere or air that will carry that sound. A mic weighs less than 2.75g for a top line mic to attach to the cameras! I bet it IS awesome to experience the whole ride in a video!

Utterly beautiful
amazing, what was this shot on? film? the interference from the plasma looks like it was shot on film.
Why does one of the parachutes seem to be missing the checkered pattern?
Edit: All the parachutes have unique patterns. I'm assuming this is for identification purposes.
where did u get this?
This is how it would have felt to be Orion's first passenger. How cool!
This is whatbeing a Kerbal feels like ;-)
Great Video! Welcome back, Orion....................
This is AMAZING stuff. The re-entry is incredible video.
This reminds me of the ambient music in Kerbal Space Program. So cool!
Great Science NASA !!!! Congratulations !!!
Is the plasma actually pink, or does the camera lack an IR filter?
Outstanding, Brilliant & Awesome. Great music which kind of sounds like a Brian Eno track? Great footage NASA.
Well that's any easy like and fav! Thank you NASA and "crew" for all your hard work and for sharing this incredible vantage point...humbling...really give's one the speed and height perspective......
Thank you for this video. Could you write the music credits, please?
i dont get it :S what is the pink thing at the beginning?
poetry.
Music by William Pearson. Incredible work.
Beautiful video! Why did they not keep the actual audio from the microphone instead of that annoying music???
Sorry about the double post but I do have a question:
Is the video captured in human-perceivable wavelengths? In other words, is this what people aboard the spacecraft would see?
It's a normal camera, so yes, this is what people would see.
Wow. That's terrifying. Astro/cosmonauts have bal- nerves of steel!
If you do some searching around you can find footage of another re-entry taken by an astronaut who bought a camera with him in re-entry and pointed it out the window
What is the music in the video?

Very beautiful to watch. I wonder what music they used in this video.
Two main parachutes have the red and white pattern inverted in the middle, while the third parachute doesn't have this feature. Why is that?
There are two main chutes and a "pilot" chute.
to identify which parachute is which in the video.
this is an amazing video. Anyone know who did the music?
The atmosphere is HUGE!
I'm guessing it will be really sweet for astronauts returning from Mars to see our blue sky.
Would be good to see telemetry during this video, such as speed / altitude / heat / g-force
Excellent video - cheers NASA. Looking at the plasma trail, I was reminded of a line from War Of The Worlds: "a beautiful, but somehow disturbing, sight". Beautiful without question, but the thought that that superheated plasma was being created only a few feet behind my head...8-0
