You mean the separation of the 2 boosters from the rocket that returns to a landing vessel out in the ocean (the aircraft carrier like ship is named “Of Course I Still Love You”)? Are you familiar with the launch pattern of the Falcon 9? Watch the next video and you’ll be able to observe where I pick up watching the rocket continue after this separation (including the sonic booms from those 2 return boosters). This was a successful launch.
@@DanTheManSoCal OK, sure. Yes. Nope. I am not, so I should probably look into that first. Thanks for enlightening me. I mean, over 300 launches and only two aborted / failed, which is pretty damned good. Just looked odd to meme especially the vapor pattern and how wide it got, but then this launch was faster than the last one, so there's that. I wonder why they all come crashing to the sea though on re-entry. As far as I know these ships don't survive re-entry well. What's your take on the re-entry part?
@@TimStJohn-zd2fx You should go watch some of the SpaceX footage of the Falcon9. After separation, the return boosters actually fly themselves back to the landing pad out on the ship that’s in the ocean and they’re reused on future Falcon9 launches. It’s pretty cool stuff.
Good vid, but a failed launch.
Not sure what you mean? It launched successfully as the video clearly shows.
@@DanTheManSoCal Did you see the trajectory change? Have you ever seen a rocket break apart then go sideways instead of UP-Out?
