    Which SpaceX milestone are you most excited for in 2019?
    Video corrections:
    1) At 2:50, I provide the measurements of the entire Falcon 9 rocket at liftoff, which is misleading. Only the first stage of the rocket returns for landing, which is approximately 43 meters tall and weighs around 22,000 kg empty.
    2) At 5:00, I state that the improvement in landing accuracy from 10 km to 10 m is 10,000%. This is incorrect. The increase in landing accuracy is actually a 99.9% improvement.

      Dude, you can't write it like that, there's not 6 minutes' worth of fluff to read before part 1, and step 2 is simplified way too far. You have to spend 5 minutes explaining how you solve the problem and then have to find a pencil to slowly etch a small portion of the graphite into a circular pattern that corresponds to both the correct answer and the originally allocated number for the problem in the exam.

    I watched this launch and landing with my family from Cocoa Beach near the Wakulla - it was fantastic! Having grown up with regular Apollo launches, followed years later by the Space Shuttle, this event marked a welcome next generation of US space flight from KSC.
    In addition, since the launch engines are so much more efficient (and quieter) now, the sonic booms of the booster landing are a visceral reminder of the older launches.

    Make sure to remember that there are suicide burns. This can be much better completed through more accurate computers that can run the staging sequence perfectly. This might have also played a role in their "10,000%" success rate boost. Next time, give us the math as well. I am quite curious how the suicide burn works, but I am unsure of how to calculate it completely.

    • @mduckernz
      @mduckernz 5 лет назад +1

      You need to calculate the deceleration that will be applied, taking into account the reduction of mass as propellant is depleted, such that velocity reaches zero at zero altitude.
      Also, as you might be aware (but I will mention it anyway as others might appreciate it), doing suicide burns is not only a propellant saving technique but is actually necessary as the engines (or engine - singular) cannot throttle down low enough that it won't begin to ascend again if you accidentally reach zero velocity before reaching zero altitude (landing).

    The crazy part is that 4 years ago 30 successful landings and 17 re flights in total was groundbreaking, while SpaceX today is on a steak of 167 successful landings in a row (240 in total) with multiple launches per week and a single booster launched up to 18 times.

  • @paulsmith8289
    @paulsmith8289 4 года назад +1

    The landing accuracy has been very reliable. I wonder whether they could do away with the deployable landing legs altogether by landing in a cradle or capture system of some sort. That would save weight, simplify the design (of the rocket), reduce drag and reduce the risk of deployment failure leading to damage.
