Here's to all of the skilled and disciplined engineers who made this happen. Musk's leadership is one thing, but your collective capability and commitment is yet a greater beast.
These engineers are truly inspiring! Elon does deserve praise as a visionary leader, but it takes a talented team all working in unison to take a vision and make it a reality. Well done SpaceX!
I agree totally with all the glorious comments of the total success, but if you can imagine putting 3 persons in orbit around the moon, then landing two on the moon, and then rejoining all 3 in orbit around the moon and then finally returning all 3 safely back to earth... With what best can be describe as the total memory of a modern smart light bulb... Now you are talking Giants... completed by Apollo 11 July 16, 1969 49 years 65 days prior, not bad for a bunch of geeks with slide rulers...
But lets remember Elon is chief engineer... tye difference that makes his companies from other CEOs whom are just financial knowledgeable but not scientists.. Elon has both Economics and Engineering ams. Self taught computer science
@@Boxsteam do you really think a multi billion dollar company like spacex has such bad cameras? Zoom in and look at the waves in the background. It’s not even a good fake.
I never get tired of watching this, I showed this to my wife and she was also blown away by this, she said that the last time she was amazed like this was when she witnessed the Space Shuttle taking off and landing for the first time, I agreed. I'm not ashamed to be showing our age there 😁😁
I watched John Glenn orbit the Earth on TV in 1962 as a 6 -year-old. I saw the Saturn V launches with Apollo, and the Space Shuttle triumphs and tragedies. Watching these amazing flights I can't help but yell "Go, baby, go!" on takeoff and "Bring her home!" during landings, and get a tear in my eye from pride.
@@frankmcnally01 your the reason exactly why elon want to live on mars. I cant believe why people like this even exist we should probably build something where we know how dumb a person is in fetus and abort them before laying waste everywhere.
100 years ago my grandmother was a child and once in a few months an automobile would drive thru her little village in Europe and all the kids would run out of their houses to see that marvel. She lived to fly on an airplane, watch a man land on the moon, she lived to be almost a 100 years old. It's amazing how fast humans are advancing in technology comparing to previous centuries. Too bad we are not advancing that fast when it comes to world peace.
I know what you mean! I do, too! It's like a moment when you forget all the world's troubles and reflect on such an amazing accomplishment that a team of humans did!
I keep watching these launch and landings over and over again, I never get tired and still feel the swell in my heart when a booster lands. It’s an amazing feeling.
Yeah humanity has flourished a long way....we say about intelligent life out there....but there is a good chance that we ourselves are the intelligent life
Brings tears to my eyes every time. How lucky we were to witness this for the first time. The next and subsequent generations will take this for granted.
@Zo Kay SpaceX is a private company idiot. You aren't giving a penny of your tax money to them and the they aren't responsible for the development of education or healthcare system anyhow. It's the duty of government. But of course you'll still be ignorant and make arguments without having any knowledge.
Side boosters throttling back at MDP and then throttle back up...amazing....the Shuttle boosters just lit and went. What great technology! I'm 69 y/o and grew up in the heart of the early space age in the 1960's and never thought I'd live long enough to see something like this. Mind-numbingly awesome.
@@Texas40years Actually, the throttle profile was molded into the structure of the fuel in the booster! Scott Manley has a great video on the amazing engineering of solid rocket boosters, as part of his "things KSP does not teach you" series
@@soccerguy2433 These are all chemical rockets, the shuttle boosters specifically were fueled with solid fuel and oxidizers, where the RS-25s (the main engines) burn liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The only similarity those engines have with Falcon 9/Heavy's Merlin engine is that both use liquid oxygen as their oxidizer. Merlin's fuel is RP-1, a grade of kerosene developed for rocket engines.
I agree. I would love to live to see humans walk on Mars. Though it probably wont happen. There are so many technical and economic challenges still to this day. I estimate humans will land on Mars in the late 2050's.

@@dakotamahlau-heinert3529 I judge the future based on the past. There is nothing expedient about space exploration. There are instruments and machines for that future trip that haven't yet been invented, let alone built and its already 2021 right now! Here are the cons: radiation, fuel for return trip, food for 1- 2 years, brute danger leaving Earth and entering Mars atmosphere, you would have to send hundreds of tons of supplies to land prior to astronauts arriving, general health of astronauts living in weightlessness and within a high radiation environment. And what about political will... every 4-8 years a new administration slightly tweeks or disassembles NASA's future. We been talking about returning to the moon for 50 years!! I want this to happen as much as anyone, but not for at least another 30 years. Theres too much work to be done before that happens. Heres an after thought... I truly believe Musk will beat NASA to Mars (with humans)
I'm sitting here in my kitchen contemplating how the team that designed this system could cover all considerations in order to produce a successful result. Mind officially boggled. 🤯 Smart people raising the bar of what is possible. Bravo!

Just awesome.
@@frankmcnally01 Imagine being so old your living in the past and in so denial that our generation is making leaps that could never have been done before
I am here once again after witnessing SpaceX CATCH a returning rocket for the first time, the Super Heavy Booster. The first time anyone had ever tried and they did it successfully. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Now to strap 3 of them together.
If you are reading this remind yourself: we went from barely walking upright to this. Let it sink in. Our species has so much potential if we just don't get in our own way. F-ing amazing all around.
Yup. Sadly, our potential to destroy ourselves grows exponentially as well. In just 80 years we went from "being able to make a war once in a while but not much more" to "capable of obliterating all life on earth few times over in a few hours". Imagine what superweapons we will have in 200 years
When our capabilities finally catch up to our imagination. Like with the books of Jules Verne, farfetched fantasy when he wrote them, entirely possible as of 100 years ago with 2000 Leagues Under the Sea, and 51 years ago with Journey to the Moon. really makes you think.
Watching the boosters land simultaneously I think will never get old. Thank you Mr. Musk for all the pioneering work you have accomplished earning you a prominent roll in the history of our country and our world.
@Donovan Campbell I'm sure wouldn't be possible. Becouse nobody was needed such things. For example reusable boosters. He created fashion on them. But no real need
@Donovan Campbell Resourses has to be saved! No doubt... Thats why we use another MW of energy to produce and transport tons of fuel we use only to land an empty tank. Then we use energy to move this tank to special place there we use energy to check this tank for any damage from previouse flight. Then we use energy to clean it. To paint it. To repair it there needed. Then we have to use more expensive and energy complex materials instead of some simple alluminium ((or such) which will last for several seconds. And so on... And after that we close all finance reporting so no independant accountant could check do we really save money and resourses on our "reusable" spacecraft! Wonderfull idea don't you think?
I am a physicist and I am right there beside you my friend!!! The goosebumps always happen!!! Partly because watching this is always awe inspiring AND equally as you've said "...this is supremely difficult to do...". The magnitude of difficulty is beyond most people's knowledge and comprehension! I suppose one can assume it is difficult but that is nowhere near the same thing as understanding why and how it is! It is an absolutely amazing time to be alive!
You do realises he just funds the thing he isn’t involved in the physics or engineering part of it he is just a billionaire who thinks he’s cool just cuz he bosses around a bunch of scientists A real role model would be one who is both a scientist intimately involved with the process and spearheading this whole thing Elon Musk style.
Watching those boosters land never gets old and always gives me a warm spot in my heart filled with pride. God Bless Elon Musk and everyone else involved that makes this happen.
Bill Randolph, Yes sir....I am 68 and remember how exciting and incredible the Apollo Program was. I have also been a big science fiction reader of Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, and so many other top notch writers and loved reading the stories of Man's journeys and adventures among our own Milky Way Galaxy and even beyond. Watching those boosters land back at the base and on the sea platform is like something right out of those stories and I cannot help but get emotional whenever I see it. Only in a free country where people are free to pursue their dreams without the oppressive hand of a government dictating their lives, can this be possible.
@@marbleman52 Yes Sir you are RIGHT! Countries like Pakistan and Iran are so consumed by hatred and spreading terrorism that they will never know how wonderful science and space exploration can be. Their Idea of space exploration is if they can build an ICBM to hard others. Sorry didn't meant to go there but upset at the moment. Keep believing Sir. God Bless all the good people in the world that wants to make the present and the future better!
@@victorsousa7239 Indeed. If we're ever to go back to Space, it will have to be as a commercial concern. It is simply too expensive for governments to keep footing the bill forever.
I am old enough to remember the suspenseful excitement of watching the Apollo missions on our black and white tv. I even got an autographed picture of Neil Armstrong back in 1969. It's good to see the younger generations excited about space travel like my generation was back in the day. I think it's in man's nature to always reach for the unreachable. It keeps our spirit alive and young.
11:04 You can see the reflection of the O2 "fluff" on the insulation foil, and then when the engine starts it just flies off and into the flame. In reality it's the spacecraft suddenly being pushed past the "fluff". We always see the engine start but normaly you don't get the sense of movement. In this case, oh it's moving alright! It's these little things that I love!
NASA is doing a ton of work. Have you heard of the SLS. Largest payload yet. Musk wouldnt be able to do this without standing on the shoulders of NASA. People are awesome
NASA: We don't need reusable parts because out main priority it power and efficiently, not cost. SpaceX: We need reusable parts because our main priority is cost, so it's worth some power. Elon Musk fanboys: LMAO NASA can't even make reusable parts what idiots.
Watching this makes me so emotional that I sometimes can’t believe what an amazing species we are when we have a common goal. Inspiring to believe what’s possible if we can get past issues that are useless to society
I remember the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo projects. I've never seen enthusiasm like Apollo had until this. But even more astounding is the fact that this is being pulled off by kids. It used to be Gene Kranz and Walter Cronkite. But now - From flight control to the announcers . . . All a bunch of kids! Good Job guys.
As much as I have respect for Walter Cronkite, he was a news anchor and had had nothing to do with the launch of the Apollo rockets, oh, and by the way, the average for the controllers during the Apollo era was 26 - kids.
The name of the recovery platform is just so beautiful. As if it were to mean, it left, ventured out into deep space and certain destruction, doubted, then came back into the loving hands of the recovery platform as it whispers "Of course I still love you" in its ear.
cyberfloater Around 4 miles, it was the “Feel The Heat” seats at Banana Creek / Saturn V centre. Oh, and the NASA bus that took us there took us the full length of the runway the Space Shuttles used to land. The pictures I’ve seen people get from Banana Creek are amazing, but I didn’t use my phone and just watched. If you get the chance, take it. It’s breathtaking.
Alessandro Limonta Just to be alive during this period of technological advancement is amazing. The things Elon’s achieved already are mind blowing. To go from failure to failure with the Falcon 1 to success after success with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, and now having astronauts in space, I can’t wait for us to finally get back to the moon and eventually Mars.
These landings happen so often that it's easy to forget how difficult this is to achieve. Half a century ago, this was considered physically impossible and stages were dropped into the ocean after using up all their fuel. In the near future when rockets are fully reusable, it would seem absurd that we once weren't able to land and reuse rockets. Imagine having to scrap airplanes each time they landed at an airport. We truly live in an amazing time where the future is reality.

@@tomdavies9701 I am a 58 year young white male. Of course it offends me. We are the HUMAN race, not the red, yellow, black, white race! The color of our skin, these are covers. What matters for all of us is what's inside - we are all red blooded HUMANs. While you think it okay to say something like "white excellence" you are overlooking (or ignoring) the history of (1) horrible treatment and suppression of "black people" (and in some places in the deep south of the U.S., still do though more clandestined than ever - and by D Trump blatantly), and (2) the "Aryan race" intent of Hitler's Nazi Germany was the idea of "white excellence" and all others inferior. Millions of Jewish folk were killed in camps - horrible time in human history!!! So while you may think what you say is harmless, it could be very offensive to a great many people.
@@brianwhitecotton6070 actually the engineering teams are only formed by people from the USA because rockets are considered military hardware and therefore people who are not born in the USA cannot work in spaceX (an American company).
@Jeanette loveridge So, just because YOU can't do it, nobody else can either? Why on Earth would they fake it - what purpose would that serve? If they failed to recover/land the boosters they would (just) have to build new boosters for the next launch, at considerable expense. By successfully landing them, they can reuse them. So please explain why they would fake something where the success is much cheaper than the failure? Or is it simply because the cameras are so much better now than in '69?

Paco de Lucia said once that you know you're in the presence of true greatness when you see something executed with seemingly no effort... when it "looks easy". He was talking about musicians, but I believe it applies to this as well. Falcon Heavy launches will always mean something special to me, since the last thing I watched with my mom before she passed away was when Elon sent his Tesla Roadster as ballast when they tested it for the first time. These things bring back some hope for humanity.
I literally get goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time I see this. It is absolutely fantastic what you can do with engineering and as an engineering student myself, there cannot exist any better motivation than this. Being a part of the impossible made possible with SpaceX would be a dream come true.
I genuinely have tears of joy watching this amazing feat. Truly the stuff of the science fiction books I read as a young boy, come to fruition. The SpaceX team...good God...what an amazingly talented, dedicated, and perseverant group. They just don't accept 'no' or 'it can't be done'. Not in their vocabulary.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. The first Falcon Heavy launch was my first time to pay much attention to space technology in a long time. That day they lost the stage that was supposed to come down on the sea platform, but they got the two side boosters back, and I absolutely teared up as I watched those things gently set themselves down on their pads. Just as you said - that was only done in science fiction in my world previously, and there it was right in front of me, accomplished. I've never worked with any aspect of the space program, but I did work in the general development of digital technology through the 80's and 90's, and one of my companies produced equipment used by other electronics manufacturers all over the world. So I feel some "pride of participation." In a very small way I helped roll the world that made this possible forward. I like that. But my hat is off to the SpaceX crowd - fantastic job, guys!
You're lucky to get half given the punishment they have to endure flying to FUCKING SPACE AND BACK camera's are notoriously sensitive equipment and even the most heavy duty ones break down far more than you think. Hell they're lucky they even got the boosters back at all.
@@ovadyarachman7243 You are only proving my point, even cameras designed to take such things can very easily break down due to the rapid change in temperature, odds are at any launch you may lose feed from some of the cameras because they are not indestructible.
@@ovadyarachman7243 actually, a hot thing in space will cool down way slower than in atmosphere. There just isn't enough stuff around to absorb the heat. The ISS even uses large heat radiators to get rid of excess heat.

An amazing achievement. And I agree, it is a humbling experience to watch those boosters successful landing.

I agree totally with all the glorious comments of the total success, but if you can imagine putting 3 persons in orbit around the moon, then landing two on the moon, and then rejoining all 3 in orbit around the moon and then finally returning all 3 safely back to earth... With what best can be describe as the total memory of a modern smart light bulb... Now you are talking Giants... completed by Apollo 11 July 16, 1969 49 years 65 days prior, not bad for a bunch of geeks with slide rulers...

She lived to fly on an airplane, watch a man land on the moon, she lived to be almost a 100 years old. It's amazing how fast humans are advancing in technology comparing to previous centuries. Too bad we are not advancing that fast when it comes to world peace.
I must admit I get emotional every single the boosters land together. I love this stuff
I know what you mean! I do, too! It's like a moment when you forget all the world's troubles and reflect on such an amazing accomplishment that a team of humans did!
I keep watching these launch and landings over and over again, I never get tired and still feel the swell in my heart when a booster lands. It’s an amazing feeling.

Side boosters throttling back at MDP and then throttle back up...amazing....the Shuttle boosters just lit and went. What great technology! I'm 69 y/o and grew up in the heart of the early space age in the 1960's and never thought I'd live long enough to see something like this. Mind-numbingly awesome.
Because the shuttle boosters were chemical rockets. The shuttles engines throttled down just like the falcon engines
Since the Shuttle boosters were solid fuel, there is no possibility of a throttle.
@@Texas40years Actually, the throttle profile was molded into the structure of the fuel in the booster! Scott Manley has a great video on the amazing engineering of solid rocket boosters, as part of his "things KSP does not teach you" series
@@soccerguy2433 These are all chemical rockets, the shuttle boosters specifically were fueled with solid fuel and oxidizers, where the RS-25s (the main engines) burn liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The only similarity those engines have with Falcon 9/Heavy's Merlin engine is that both use liquid oxygen as their oxidizer. Merlin's fuel is RP-1, a grade of kerosene developed for rocket engines.

@Donovan Campbell Resourses has to be saved! No doubt...
Thats why we use another MW of energy to produce and transport tons of fuel we use only to land an empty tank. Then we use energy to move this tank to special place there we use energy to check this tank for any damage from previouse flight. Then we use energy to clean it. To paint it. To repair it there needed. Then we have to use more expensive and energy complex materials instead of some simple alluminium ((or such) which will last for several seconds.
And so on...
And after that we close all finance reporting so no independant accountant could check do we really save money and resourses on our "reusable" spacecraft!
Wonderfull idea don't you think?
Damn that is just incredible reusable rocket boosters that land themselves this is just some real space age shit
This is why blue origin will never be on the same level as space x 3 orbital rockets launched and landed with perfect success.

Partly because watching this is always awe inspiring AND equally as you've said "...this is supremely difficult to do...". The magnitude of difficulty is beyond most people's knowledge and comprehension! I suppose one can assume it is difficult but that is nowhere near the same thing as understanding why and how it is! It is an absolutely amazing time to be alive!
You do realises he just funds the thing he isn’t involved in the physics or engineering part of it he is just a billionaire who thinks he’s cool just cuz he bosses around a bunch of scientists

I have also been a big science fiction reader of Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, and so many other top notch writers and loved reading the stories of Man's journeys and adventures among our own Milky Way Galaxy and even beyond. Watching those boosters land back at the base and on the sea platform is like something right out of those stories and I cannot help but get emotional whenever I see it.

I remember the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo projects. I've never seen enthusiasm like Apollo had until this. But even more astounding is the fact that this is being pulled off by kids. It used to be Gene Kranz and Walter Cronkite. But now - From flight control to the announcers . . . All a bunch of kids!
Good Job guys.
As much as I have respect for Walter Cronkite, he was a news anchor and had had nothing to do with the launch of the Apollo rockets, oh, and by the way, the average for the controllers during the Apollo era was 26 - kids.
The name of the recovery platform is just so beautiful. As if it were to mean, it left, ventured out into deep space and certain destruction, doubted, then came back into the loving hands of the recovery platform as it whispers "Of course I still love you" in its ear.

To go from failure to failure with the Falcon 1 to success after success with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, and now having astronauts in space, I can’t wait for us to finally get back to the moon and eventually Mars.
King Brilliant they try but the nut heads say you are paid by the government
When you realize you're about to be living in the future surely is an exciting time to be alive
Even after crew dragon demo2 flight, this still send goosebumps.
These landings happen so often that it's easy to forget how difficult this is to achieve. Half a century ago, this was considered physically impossible and stages were dropped into the ocean after using up all their fuel. In the near future when rockets are fully reusable, it would seem absurd that we once weren't able to land and reuse rockets. Imagine having to scrap airplanes each time they landed at an airport. We truly live in an amazing time where the future is reality.

@@brianwhitecotton6070 actually the engineering teams are only formed by people from the USA because rockets are considered military hardware and therefore people who are not born in the USA cannot work in spaceX (an American company).
Someone : How many cameras do u want on your boosters?
Elon : *Yes*
Not funny
@Shaun Smith yes I do, and the popularity doesn't matter
Atharv Thakur
one...one that works.
And people will still say it’s fake..crazy lol
@Jeanette loveridge So, just because YOU can't do it, nobody else can either? Why on Earth would they fake it - what purpose would that serve?
If they failed to recover/land the boosters they would (just) have to build new boosters for the next launch, at considerable expense. By successfully landing them, they can reuse them.
So please explain why they would fake something where the success is much cheaper than the failure?
Or is it simply because the cameras are so much better now than in '69?
I would have loved to be in the meeting where someone said, "What if we landed the main rocket backwards on a barge out at sea?"
On a drone ship to be exactly
@@theCZarate Its the boss vision, you do what I say or else ur fired, normal emplyee would have been fired for even mentioning that idea, this is why spaceX and musk has come such a long way
@@joki6395 I don't know where you work, but where I work, no one would be fired for mentioning a "crazy" idea. That's how progress is made.
@@joki6395 not always the boss vision. It could be a group of scientist report to the boss a posibility of vertical landing and request for further experiment.
It serves an actual purpose though. They can't put enough fuel in the second stage to bring it back to Florida, they have to land it at sea.
From time to time I watch this video over and over, can't get enough of these wonderful landings.
Every time I watch a Falcon booster land, it gives me chills. No matter how many I've seen, or how many times I've seen that particular launch replayed.
Quite a production - the dramatic music, with cheers of crowds. Great pics. Imagine if there weren’t the applause and music. It’d not have the same effect.
You're so right .... The music brings in some sensation that wouldn't be there without the music...
😂 They were above my country Nigeria when they deployed the second stage into orbit, I saw them that day.
Good to know they have space geeks in Nigeria too. Hope you'll be the first African country to put people in space.
Sure you did LOL
@@JustAboutToEat I love deep space adventure, big fan of star trek, star wars, interstellar, gravity, ad Astra etc, in my little village, I gaze at the stars and wonder, are we alone in this infinite universe.
Tom Jones what does he gain from lying? A few youtube likes
Tom Jones doesn’t seem worth the time
One of the greatest feats of mankind, watching those two boosters land in sync. another leap forward for man
3:15 look at the top right corner of the left booster, you can see the other booster.
*7:37** the historic moment, you all want to cherish again.* 🙏
One of the most amazing things we as humans have ever done
So figuring out that a God fluid comes out of a cow is nothing then.
@@robstrickenfeary Well no that was probably some freak who decided to suck on the dangly bits of an animal. Granted his/her discovery was a game changer.
But this, this took genius and ingenuity
Rob StrickeN Feary yes i like cheese too
@@robstrickenfeary Um, all we had to was observe that baby cows drink the milk, and wonder what it tastes like. It's not like we pulled the idea out of nowhere.
this is so special. I grew up in Satellite Beach and saw almost all launches of the space shuttle - this is so awesome!!!
I still tear up, everytime I see the boosters landing in unison :')
at times when this media is just dishing out poison and making everyone crazy, i retreat to spacex launch videos to remind myself of what is good out there
So true. We can do great things together.
@@TboneWertman I honestly don't know how to respond. It's like you're intentionally missing the point of Space X and the value to humanity of colonizing space, for some perceived moral high ground or attention, or something, I don't know.
And my comment was about what we can do when we come together, outside of any specific organization, you knew that though, you just wanted to be a sarcastic prick to fuel your own ego and "virtue", like you're one of the few people who "REALLY" care well the rest of us are beneath your moral plane.
Daniel Kushner ...another mans poison....
@@brandonporter6223 Contrarians like yourself are really pathetic. Any crumb of attention is worth making yourself like an imbecile. So sad...
@@TboneWertman lol, did you just use my firs draft response as your own?
Edit: And you deleted your comment I replied to xD
If I had only one wish in the world, I would wish to work for SpaceX!
or buy their shares back when it was offered in the beginning. xD
Call me iWork for them
Paco de Lucia said once that you know you're in the presence of true greatness when you see something executed with seemingly no effort... when it "looks easy". He was talking about musicians, but I believe it applies to this as well.
Falcon Heavy launches will always mean something special to me, since the last thing I watched with my mom before she passed away was when Elon sent his Tesla Roadster as ballast when they tested it for the first time.
These things bring back some hope for humanity.
I literally get goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time I see this. It is absolutely fantastic what you can do with engineering and as an engineering student myself, there cannot exist any better motivation than this. Being a part of the impossible made possible with SpaceX would be a dream come true.
Easily one of the most hyped 15 minutes if my life right here.🚀
This actually gave me goosebumps, this is inspiring.
Tell me what inspired u and for what.
Seeing the two side boosters after the core flies away is magical at 3:02
I genuinely have tears of joy watching this amazing feat. Truly the stuff of the science fiction books I read as a young boy, come to fruition. The SpaceX team...good God...what an amazingly talented, dedicated, and perseverant group. They just don't accept 'no' or 'it can't be done'. Not in their vocabulary.
I know EXACTLY what you mean. The first Falcon Heavy launch was my first time to pay much attention to space technology in a long time. That day they lost the stage that was supposed to come down on the sea platform, but they got the two side boosters back, and I absolutely teared up as I watched those things gently set themselves down on their pads. Just as you said - that was only done in science fiction in my world previously, and there it was right in front of me, accomplished.
I've never worked with any aspect of the space program, but I did work in the general development of digital technology through the 80's and 90's, and one of my companies produced equipment used by other electronics manufacturers all over the world. So I feel some "pride of participation." In a very small way I helped roll the world that made this possible forward. I like that. But my hat is off to the SpaceX crowd - fantastic job, guys!
Elon: “let’s put cameras everywhere”
Them: uses half of the cameras
You're lucky to get half given the punishment they have to endure flying to FUCKING SPACE AND BACK camera's are notoriously sensitive equipment and even the most heavy duty ones break down far more than you think.
Hell they're lucky they even got the boosters back at all.
They have to get rid of the ones with aliens on them.
@@Marsproject11 extreme heat from blasting engines to extreme cold from the emptiness of space. That's some crazy cameras they got.
@@ovadyarachman7243 You are only proving my point, even cameras designed to take such things can very easily break down due to the rapid change in temperature, odds are at any launch you may lose feed from some of the cameras because they are not indestructible.
@@ovadyarachman7243 actually, a hot thing in space will cool down way slower than in atmosphere.
There just isn't enough stuff around to absorb the heat.
The ISS even uses large heat radiators to get rid of excess heat.
It's so great that Elon managed to re-introduce into the public that excitement about the space.
That's why the CIA invented Elon musk.
🤨@@Michaeldolan-i9b
The best results from pure unadulterated science. These landings get me so worked up lol. Good job with the edits too.
As a software engineer...the landing gives me goosebumps...holy moly
