GPS III Space Vehicle 01
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- We are targeting December 23rd for launch of the United States Air Force's first Global Positioning System III space vehicle (SV) from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Liftoff is currently targeted for 8:51 a.m. EST, 13:51 UTC.
For this mission, the satellite will be deployed to medium Earth orbit approximately 1 hour and 56 minutes after liftoff. Due to mission requirements, SpaceX will not attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.
Note: The RUclips event start time reflects the estimated liftoff time for this mission. SpaceX's live webcast will begin about 10 minutes before liftoff.
Last SpaceX launch of 2018. Glad I watched live.
I missed it today :( I waited for it yesterday and on another launch attempt before, I only got on stream 1 min before sat deploy lol.
Went snowboarding during the launch. Fuckkk
The Earth is flat
nO
go eat egg >:(
Another launch on the 28th December
“Merry Christmas GPS” that’s was really cool to me for some reason. Just the fact that we are able to launch so many rockets and send them off so nonchalantly amazes me.

Merry SpaceXmas, And A BORING New Year
And model Xmas :)
How BORING....
Lmaooooo
I wondered how you don't celebrate New year as happily as Christmas
BORiNG*
My daughter is disappointed because, and I quote "Rockets must land back!".
@Paul Sarge where?
1st few minutes they mentioned no recovery and i didn't bother to watch.
That's pretty cool that kids today see that as the standard requirement for a rocket launch. More efficiency, more performance.
Woyteck79 That's cute. How old is she?
yep.... Tintin did it. To the Moon and back, in the 1950s. Took two episodes, but still. SpaceX is not bad either. There were some Russian/Soviet rockets doing the same too about 30-40 years ago. Saljut missions? Insight had its 6-7 minutes of Terror at Mars entry, the cosmonauts had their seconds of terror. Pee in your space suit all you want during the final deceleration moment, you never know if it's your last warm and funny feeling. Might as well enjoy it.
hard to hear, as the countdown ended with..."lift off...Merry Christmas GPS"....VERY COOL INDEED...a wonderful Christmas delivery for the world...

350,000 views .... best show in the WORLD
Merry Christmas SPACEX
Almost 600k views now in just about 3 days!
But remember, the number showed is aggregate live+follow-up viewers. I watched it live and remember it peaked at only around 42k this time. (Perhaps because it was too early morning in the continental U.S. and because of already 3-time scrubs.) Still, it is a lot of people turning in live from around the world, but some people do watch live via other channels who also fan-commenting the launch, too.
Just like Kerbal Space Program.
I saw this go over head in melbourne. It was beautiful
What time was it? And what details did you see? I'm a retired 'rocket scientist' doing reports on visual observations of launches and on-orbit rocket firings. Example:

I never get tired of this. It's like going along for the ride.
It's amazing how SpaceX launches are becoming so routine and flawless. They're getting boring - in a good way if you know what I mean. Can't wait for the Crew Dragon launch, hopefully in about a month or so.
I feel the reason this one was so boring and unattended was it just kept getting scrubbed and delayed. There was also no landing prepared and it was a new booster, something pretty boring now. It was also near Christmas. These combined meant a boring flight
1:28:08 Glorious views! Except for the Falcon Heavy launch, we have not *seen* the second stage orbiting this high. (Even when it did -- as in DSCOVR launch which went into a 187 x 1,241,000 km orbit.) Edit: updated the timestamp.
It might be because of the different orbits and paths they take
The view at 2:13:29 is significantly further
Damn I hope the flat earthers don't see this!
@@W3LLcoOL Yea, they mite get upset seeing the Earth as a round ball floating in the emptiness of space, wish they all would start walking and when they are about to fall over the edge message us so we can have a party :-).
pretty flat to me! xD
*Nice Christmas present for the space people :-)*
every space x video makes me dream of interstellar missons in the future ^_^
I'm fascinated by the fluffy pastel blue "solid oxygen bunnies" growing off the second stage LOX purge lines! They sublimate much slower than I'd expect in bright sunlight; the big one that finally breaks off at 1:28:11 had been hanging out there for over 10 minutes...
I thought it was a space barnacle ;)

So, how big was the paycheck? Elon wanted to commercialize space. I can't believe you guys are actually doing it!!! Congrats on the successful launch!
People keep asking why no landing. Perhaps listening to the narrative would tell them why.
"Mission requirements" isn't good enough. We know the real reason.
@@wschmrdr Being what?
They don't want space travel to be viable for the "common man". They want us as slaves. And when I say "they", I mean the customer. SpaceX is doing everything they can to fight it, and should be lauded.
+FlagDUDE08 you're right, you can't trust the system !!
More plausibly, they couldn't carry the required fuel for landing burns since this was such a high orbit.
1:41:54 Acquisition, South Texas. Is that from SpaceX's new launch facility?
Dang, gonna have to fire up KSP.
A respectful suggestion for a big improvement to these videos:
Please let us here the radio traffic, instead of the constant din of the awful music. The Apollo missions, and those before them were perfectly fine without assailing viewers' ears with unnecessary noise. SpaceX missions are just as exciting, arguably more exciting, than the NASA missions of 50+ years ago.
Radio traffic, even if sparse, tells us much more, and often provides more drama, than a pair of (competent) presenters interspersed with cacophony could ever do. What you folks are doing is a real series of achievements, and can stand alone, and perfectly well, with no musical distractions.
Yes; I know that we have a 'mute' button, but that means we miss the informative audio dialogues when they are provided.
Thanks, and congratulations SpaceX! Have a truly pioneering 2019.
You can mute first feed and put second one playing in the background. :)
Just "switch cameras" to the "Countdown Net" stream
Audio traffic with a unmanned vehicle ? What do you mean exactly ?
As Emmanuel said, this is an unmanned vehicle, so I sorta doubt you'd hear much traffic aside from the loss/regain of signal callouts.
I like the music!
Be patient has reward, delicate payload, delicate launch. Good job, really good minds. Congratulations for launch/year rate, you have to be proud, all team. Now relax, enjoy saying goodbye to this fantastic year and dream with the records you are going to break in 2019.
For future expendable launches, I'd love to see a live view of the first stage as it burns up, but I know they'd never show it.
You ask and answer your own question , the burn up will first happen on the cameras , those are the first to be gone , so you will never get the chance to see the real burnout
@@odnumiar59 I don't think so, an empty booster is very bottom heavy and the cameras are at the top. You'd probably get to see a few seconds of epic disintegration.
WOW WOW, THINK ABOUT THE FAMILY OF THOSE BOOSTERS
It would probably be a lot more boring than you might expect. China and Russia land over ground, so you can find the expended stages just lying there. Even after free falling from space, they are surprisingly intact.

Do you realize that the speed of Stage 2 was at one point above 31000km/h? That's more than 8.6km (5.3miles) per second! Also, that speed is bigger than the speed of a human walking by foot by a factor of 15500. Multiply the speed of Stage 2 by a factor of just 34000 and you get the speed of light :O Speeds accessible to human beings have grown exponentially in the last thousands of years. Mathematically at least, not much more till, by some means, we reach the speed of light.
It was even over 31,000 km/h at one point (1:11:44 in the video).
That was a very pointless observation. Learn about orbital Dynamics and what it takes to get there
@Letmeloveyoutwo costigan well that was rude
@@letmeloveyoutwocostigan2362 I realize in terms of propulsion we still rely on combustion which is probably not what will get us to the speed of light and that we still need to work towards the technological advancements that will get us there. Still, i couldn't hold back from making a hopeful observation :)
Nerd
What a remarkable thing to see ! thank you for posting !
At payload deployment, the second stage was 5400 miles (8670 km) in altitude and traveling 3 miles per second (5 km/s).
Shourya Bose. I learned something today.
@Shourya Bose I don't think it's that unintuitive. Near the earth, any object is subject to the force of gravity (created by Earth) hence it moves faster the closer it is to earth. No?
speed display in live webcast is relative to earths surface considering a perpendicular vector, in fact stage 2 was at roughly 34000 km/h true speed right after 2nd engine burn.
@Shourya Bose Except that this is not a LEO or GEO orbit. This is a high inclination MEO orbit.
yup, another unintuitive thing is: when you slow a spacecraft down, its orbital period will become shorter. and if you accelerate, it will take longer to complete an orbit.
The background music gives me goosebumps well done guys i watched all lunches but this one was empowering ... WE GETTING THERE ... just let the private brilliant minds "Elon, Jeff, Sir Branson" to do it ... wi'll get there faster

Primates with Guns monster mix was a bit too much though.
The orbital burn was visible from southern Australia. It made the news with people saying they saw a UFO :D
What happens to the second stage engine? Will it be more space junk, or eventually burn up in the earths atmosphere?
I don't have a source, but people are saying they had enough fuel and performance left at apogee to perform a de-orbit burn. If that's accurate, the stage will have burnt up already.
@Science-and-Reason Thanks for your reply. I personally think it's absolutely crazy that perfectly good precision engineering such as the many parts that make up a rocket to get to space is such a throw away thing. I do appreciate that it's mission success vs cost and also reducing variables for failure to save face vs paying the bills for future missions but SpaceX have a massive opportunity for modern innovation and to capture the next generation of interest. Throwing away a whole plane or parts of it after one flight just doesn't make any logical sense.
I'm (pleasantly) surprised that range support wasn't effected by the shutdown. Merry Christmas Mr. Satellite!
Elizabeth Greene Maybe because it was a USAF launch, not a NASA launch.

@@chuck7299 USA! USA! USA!
In point of fact, national prestige has always been a powerful motivating factor in space flight. Note the way Indonesians, Bangladeshis and Argentinians have expressed pride in the satellites their countries have orbited, on SpaceX rockets, this year. Look at the way Indian media touts ISRO's accomplishments, and it's development of a manned spacecraft. Kiwis are damned proud to have Rocket Lab launching out of their island. Israelis are not exactly hanging their heads to have SpaceX launching a payload for them, that will land on the Moon.
It is perfectly natural and appropriate for Americans, as a nation and individually, to celebrate the incredible achievements of SpaceX, and Rocket Lab, and NASA, and all the other startups coming into the game.
On the flip side of the coin, reading Russian comments, both on English and Russian language channels, shows a definite broad feeling of loss of prestige as their once dominant space program falls ever further behind the rest of the world.
Used this launch playback as my New Year countdown today! No neighborhood's fireworks can compare the roar of the F9 rocket!
I hope the Government compensated you for expending that booster. Wait, that's my money they are spending.....Arrrrggggghhhhhhhh
The same government that paid to launch this satellite and will launch other of these new next gen GPS satellites. Do you think the GPS network happened by magic?
@@madsoc4 - What does your point have to do with my point?
yes im sure you miss those pennies
I smell pennies..!!
Let's hope USAF better accepted reused F9 booster soon, even for expendable requirements (as they require SpaceX to reserve even to the last bit of the fuel). That way the launch cost will drop down a bit. But oh, the military always prefer prime, shiny, out-of-the-box experience anyways.
Somehow this video made me feel like I was eight again. I want to be an astronaut when I grow up.
"Due to mission requirements, SpaceX will not attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage after launch."
So why is that?
no fuel in booster to do so? I noticed that they lift satellite much higher than usual.
spacex did bring the spacecraft closer to the target orbit than normal, so they didnt have the margins to land
SpaceX have launched heavier satellites into higher orbits with recovering the first stage:
Satellite: Es'hail-2
Payload mass 5300 kg
Orbit: GTO-1746 (200 x 37688 x 25.0°)
*But* in such launches, the second stage remained in orbit. For example, today, the orbit of the second stage from the Es'hail launch is:
NORAD ID: 43701
Int'l Code: 2018-090B
Perigee: 189.7 km
Apogee: 37,372.4 km
Inclination: 25.0 °
For today's GPS III launch:
Payload mass 4400 kg
Orbit: 1200 x 20200 x 55°
Putting this payload into this orbit would have taken less energy. *But* today SpaceX also had de-orbited the second stage on the first orbit. This required fuel for the additional second stage engine furn, and the mass of this fuel directly adds to the mass of the payload taken to the orbit. So the effective payload was easily many tons more than appears at a first glance.
That's why they needed more performance from the first stage:
GPS III MECO 2650 m/s at H=82 km
Es'hail-2 MECO 2334 m/s at H=67 km
Incidentally, today's velocity at stage separation was approximately the same as in Falcon Heavy test flight!
Falcon Heavy test flight MECO 2622 m/s at H=87 km
@@cogoid
Why didnt they use the falcon heavy? If they recovered the side boosters and center stage I'm sure it would be cheaper.
@@tater.5632 Falcon 9 has been certified as a high reliability launch vehicle, (NASA Category 3) while FH has not been, because it had not flown a sufficient number of flights. Almost surely, Air Force contract has some specific requirement in this respect.
If that were not an issue, the hardware for the upcoming already scheduled HF launches is still being built -- there are no spares laying around.
Otherwise, purely from launch cost and performance perspective, HF would have been a good fit for this mission.
16:45 The sound mix is a nice touch. Thank you kindly. "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!"
altitude is 8700km? that's crazy! ot's of cool pics from that distance I bet
JUMOWA That was normal. Every GTO 2nd stages went high in attitude too, but they usually released the payloads shortly after the final burns so we didn’t get the view this high.
@@OrbitallerDumbest wow, very unsualy for me. Would love more frequent footage
@@JUMOWAx I'd considered this "rare" because even to MEO normally the launch providers will release the payloads right after the final burn. But USAF pays SpaceX to "keep it into your arms until the last second" for making flight corrections for the sat rather than it doing itself, so the mission phase is lengthen enough for "standard people" to see it (and the view of the Earth) to this high.
Oh, and only SpaceX does release live footages from on-board cameras at the moment. The other launch providers do not provide (or do not have the ability to do) the footage. This is why SpaceX webcasts are so popular and not-boring during the flight.
superb special effects.
A respectful request to SpaceX and Elon Musk.... It's days before 2019. Technology is at the forefront of our lives and yet, despite spending millions of dollars on each launch, you still outfit your rocket with the same boring camera looking at the second stage engine. With the money you're spending on each launch would it be that difficult to add a remote control articulating camera so that we could get a good glimpse at the whole sphere of the planet from 8500 km away?? I'm not asking for that much... But I've noticed there are no videos that have ever shown rocket launch footage with full 360 degrees view of the planet Earth... Don't believe me, go try to find it. This is the future dammit! Put a camera on that thing that can look around and zoom in and out. Please and thank you.
Multiple problems-
1) Weight - The camera may not be very expensive, but its weight penalty on the rocket could be huge. Add in the circuits for relaying camera image.
2) Bandwidth - SpaceX may wish to reserve the rocket's wireless link's bandwidth for important telemetry, as opposed to HD 4K video downlink.
3) Reliability - Usually for man-rated rockets like Falcon 9 Block 5, their design is 'frozen' to avoid non-uniformity. The F9 design could have been 'frozen' by NASA with the current camera setup.
4) Government Regulations - Governments aren't usually happy with HD cameras in space, because they could be doubled for ground-observation. Thus they don't allow HD cameras in space without a lot of paperwork. This happened with SpaceX in one of their launches when NOAA forced them to take the stream off-air after SECO-1.
@@shouryabose5214 1. The camera on my cell phone gives a good enough image and has minimal weight. Weight is not an issue.
2. This is 2018, there's enough bandwidth for billions of cell phones in the world but you can't have one camera dedicated to spacecraft environment observations?
3. This wouldn't surprise me. Even though SpaceX is a private company, NASA still controls everything.
4. Suspicious that the government would limit what people can see in space. Most people would argue for more transparency in the realm of public space information.
@@ORIGINALJRL
I concur, except point (3). NASA is a customer of SpaceX, and thus NASA gets to dictate how the launch vehicle on which they launch their payload looks like.
Thus, SpaceX could have developed two versions of Falcon 9, one 'complaint' to NASA, and one maybe not; however this would cost *too much* money so they use the NASA rated F9 for every mission.
Also, it's in general a bad idea to keep horsing around with manned launch vehicles' design after they have been 'frozen', otherwise things like Challenger and Columbia happen. :(
@@ORIGINALJRL The availability of "enough bandwidth for billions of cell phones" isn't going to improve the bandwidth from the sender of a rocket to some ground station. The camera isn't the problem; you need to get the stream sent down without impeding any other operation. Control and monitoring of vital systems and of the payload systems is paramount. - Do you know what "bandwidth" really means?
I WISH you would still keep the cam view for the booster up . yes we know its not going to make it but i would like to still see what it looks like and see its last mins of life .
well i wanna work for space x
really nice to watch
1:25:20 resublimation of what gas? Why is there a valve or nozzle?
Liquid oxygen is let out into the vacuum. Some of it evaporates, and because evaporation causes cooling, whatever is left freezes into a solid "snow".
Even without vacuum, you will see exactly the same phenomenon with an ordinary CO2 fire extinguisher -- when let out, some of the liquid CO2 evaporates, and the rest turns into a very cold solid ("dry ice"). Same thing happens to liquid nitrogen or oxygen if you spray them into vacuum.
There are many outlets on the engine. They are necessary to keep everything working properly -- to purge what needs to be purged, etc. During stage separation (here at 9:50) you can see 6 hoses that lead from such outlets to the vents on the interstage that go overboard while the stages are still connected together.
@@cogoid Then these snowballs of solid oxygen eventually burn up in the atmosphere... oh - no they don't! They just vaporize.
Finally got it off the ground and now SpaceX has proven another launch capability. The flexibility of the Falcon 9 to be able to strip it down with no landing gear or grid fins to lower cost and weight so they can launch heavier payloads to higher orbit.
I wonder if Elon Musk will ever go to space
Maybe within the next five years.
He plans to
Go home
DEFINITELY
He even said he was thinking of going along with the #dearmoon project
it would be a gas to have an assembly technician pitch in on these outstanding broadcasts

15:21 What is the purpose of the light at the top of the rocket? Isn't the giant flame at the bottom of the rocket sufficient notice to other aircraft to get the f out of the way?
That's sunlight reflecting :thinking:
That's just a reflection off of the tip of the payload fairing. There's no light there - also, that's the job of the airforce range to clear the airspace ahead of time and keep it clear.
@@Mrmcfunpants Makes sense. You must be a rocket scientist to know all these facts. But do you know why "Due to mission requirements, SpaceX will not attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage after launch." ? Does that mean it will crash land into the ocean?
@@DEO777 It said that the payload is too big to try to recover the first stage.
@@DEO777 hah I'm not, just a big space nerd - and yes, as r r h h said, because this gps satellite needed to go to a high orbit they needed the 1st stage to do as much work as possible. This left no fuel reserves to be able to do any sort of landing.
loved it. Just was hoping to see the area over Sumatra / Java better, especially Krakatoa. Is the ash plume visible at that distance? Does it stand out from the usual tropical daily thunder clouds and tornadic cells they had in Bogor / Jakarta 2 weeks ago?
if your answer is "fly up to see for yourself" then yes sign me up :-) I assume there's still room in the sportscar, passenger side?
I think that at that point high (1000 km+) it is hard to see it. Your field-of-view is large at this point, which, combined with relatively low, fixed resolution of human eyes compared to optical instruments, make you unable to spot the differences between things unaided. (Yep, satellites high in GEO 36,xxx km away can see because it has far better resolution than us, and it can also better adjust FOV of the lens to a particular point-of-interest.)
@@OrbitallerDumbest I was hoping to see the glow of Lava in the night. But I realize that's a lot to ask. When it's raining and volcanic ash is all over it.
Cool!
Is there a service where I could check the trajectory of an upcoming launch? It would take the guesswork out if it's going to pass overhead. A global map with the trajectory/orbit would be super cool.
Тут первая ступень была невозвратная? Что-то не показали приземление. Или я просмотрел
Да, это было сказано в начале. И это видно по первой ступени - у неё нет посадочных опор и решётчатых рулей.
@@michalsetlak спасибо
Молодцы чуваки!
Масса полезного груза плюс высота, на которой они хотели его разместить, означали, что не хватило топлива, чтобы вернуть первую ступень обратно.
В будущем, возможно, они будут использовать Falcon Heavy для запуска GPS, но этот был запланирован и оплачен до того, как Heavy был готов к полету.
The mass of the payload, plus the altitude they wanted it placed at, meant there was not enough fuel to bring the first stage back down.
In the future, perhaps they will use Falcon Heavy for GPS launches, but this one was planned and payed for before Heavy was ready to fly.
@@odysseusrex5908 SpaceX запускал более тяжёлые спутники на ещё более высокие (геопереходные) орбиты с возвратом первой ступени. В этом полёте было ещё два дополнительных фактора -- запуск был произведён на орбиту с менее выгодным наклонением чем для геостационара и, (что необычно), двигатель второй ступени включался три раза, включая через три часа после старта, для сведения ступени с орбиты. Всё это вместе взятое, потребовало получить максимум скорости от первой ступени.
SpaceX had launched heavier payloads into higher (GTO) orbit and returned the first stage at the same time. In this flight there were two additional factors -- less advantageous inclination than in a GTO launch, plus second stage performed three burns, the last one three hours after launch to effect a de-orbit. This is not done in GTO launches. All these factors taken together required to get the most from the first stage.
Satellite: Es'hail-2 , mass 5300 kg, orbit: 200 x 37688 x 25.0° (first stage recovered, second stage still in orbit)
This GPS III launch: mass 4400 kg, orbit: 1200 x 20200 x 55° (first stage expended, second stage deorbited)
That was so awesome. Thank you very much for giving us this video even after multiple attempts. I watched it live of course but again here so I could leave a comment of congrats and thanks.
Is that a feather at 18:12 ?
poor bird ...
That's Calvin from Life.
i guess its an ice flake of oxygen or some other gas they use
Most likely some frozen liquid oxygen or ice.
@@rockskyred549 It is solid oxygen. In this area there are several outlets that spew copious amount of liquid oxygen before, during, and after engine burn. When LOX gets into vacuum, the liquid starts to boil off instantly, cools to a freezing point, and whatever has not evaporated turns into "snow".
Awesome video,speed and atlitude,well done guys😉😉😉😉😉😉😉🏴🏴🏴🏴
The atmosphere of this launch seems empty. No pun intended, really. Everyone just seems tired and unenthusiastic. Hell, only 1 person reacts to stage seperation.
Most non-related staffs were starting packing things home for the long Xmas and New Year holiday already, except those unfortunate mission staffs having to wait until GPS III went into orbit.
Oh, and nighttime launches are quiet too nowadays (except on some occasions like 1st land landing at VAFB.) They launch so much F9 they get bored on space themselves. :)
Thank you for allowing us to see the alien activity that takes place in the space close to the Earth ... although they have cut the images when they were very evident.
You're just joking, right? Who else says this shows aliens?
can someone explain me why this time the 1st stage was not going to be recovered and land!??
The announcer explains this starting at the 21:00 mark.
Johnnyxp64 the first stage could not spare the fuel for landing, the payload is going to a high altitude and the satellite is the primary mission
This is about the 20th falcon9 mission without an attempted landing, the 8th in 2018.
@@Rocket_man1234 ok. understood. thanks guys.
Thanks for providing us this great Christmas present.
Has everyone seen The Space Creature (Gremlin?) Clearly Crawling around the Base of the Second Stage Rocket Booster Nozzle ?? Its there. Swear To God >> @ 10:13
TheNewFormat you can literally see the the ice form.
@@willasproth If by see the ice form, you mean watch it come from around the other side.... then sure. Otherwise, Gremlin story holds up better.
Jake Hix you literally think a “space creature” holds up better than ice.
T+ 03min 15sec - "Gremlin" appears. Awesome.
Any idea if the ice is from an intentional venting, or perhaps a leak?
GPS III is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕#SpaceX

Thank you!
Happy Holidays!🎄💙
42:51 Min Object move fast, then change direction without any curve. ( left side of screen )
Yup that was crazy I had to 10 sec rewind and look close but yup that was a ufo for sure
more like dust/ice on the camera.
@@Alexandru_Iacobescu omg.. you probably dont believe your own words what you wrote here.
@@henrymatthews9365 What you are saying is that it was an unidentified flying object for sure. I agree, it is unidentified.
Strange. It does curve and then the sunlight hits it on it's way by. Looks like junk. What about at 42:35 when a gust of wind(?) pushes the silver material above the booster..weird.
I love how it says: Cape Canaveral, Florida, EARTH.
I stole your joke
Honestly it is quite cool to see a "naked" block 5 F9

Oh SpaceX got a new Logo!
too bad they were no landings...
however, bravo SpaceX
The bottom of the sea is full of Merlin engines. Two divers talking: "Hey, what's that? A 1000 year old ship?!" "No, it's just one more Merlin engine." But, 21 launches this year... not so bad!!!
I hope they are able to do at least 25 next year.
SpaceX, can you deliver my cars on Mars? I have some aliens who are interested in Earthly cars... Good prices. Lol!
Boris T. They apparently haven't gotten a permit to do that, so they sent the previous car in a bypass orbit.
Can't wait for the next Falcon Heavy launch.
very good narrator this time
