@@ralanham76 what do you mean maybe? They literally show us the booster speed on its way down on the streams. Sonic booms are conical and take time to travel down and outwards.
@@maroonmedia2000 No, the entire launch vehicle is 70m tall. These are just the side boosters, which are a lot shorter (like, 45m-ish, perhaps; possibly less; the info isn't easily findable online; but, maybe 14-15 stories, or less---still huge, obviously).
If you haven't heard a rocket in person, it isn't terribly loud (from 5 miles away), but the bass is thunderous and incredible to hear. I just saw starship launch last week.
It’s amazing to watch these launches and watch the boosters return to earth. I live in New Smyrna Beach so we are about 30 miles away and we get to watch the rockets launch all of the time especially at night. The Falcon Heavy has a launch coming up so we may go to Cape Canaveral and see it. We saw the recent launch of the Atlas a few weeks ago in Cape Canaveral. We were going to take flowers to my dads grave.
I had tears in my eyes when they landed the boosters the first time. My (now ex) wife was like "what's wrong with you??!! What's the big deal???" She's still clueless. (she's a social worker, so... well...'nuff said)

@@brentbel1348 Take a pencil, and try to balance it on your finger, all the little micromovements you are doing to keep it pointy end up? Its about like that but now you are moving the pencil upwards. Its alot of math, and its very precise
I'm guessing this is a remotely operated thing, but then again I would probably trust those things enough these days to have a glass shield to stand behind just to be there when it comes down :-)
THAT is the single best take of a booster landing I've ever seen, usually the Space-X videos are top notch - this one is a bit more gritty (with all the debri in the air) but HOT DANG IT it was COOL !!!
It’s so hard to remember that these are about 164 feet (50 meters) tall. They make landing them look so easy but they’re the size of a 16 story building and moving at transonic speeds at the time of firing the engine for the landing burn. Insane engineering, can’t wait to see super heavy eventually land.
@@ryanrenolds idk, I found various sources stating that the booster alone was 70 meters. Can’t trust the internet I guess. Thank you for the correction. Still incredibly impressive even with 40 less feet
Cool. I watched a night launch from Vandenberg, I had my headphones on getting the play by play, as it's going up, I saw the first stage do it's landing burn. This is 50s Sci fi in real life. As I watched, cars are gioing by on the freeway. Cool stuff
Because there are 3 main structures on a single booster, 1 The Main body ,2 grid fins, and 3 the legs. The sonic booms come from these! You learn more everyday!
No, sonic booms are created when you start traveling faster than the speed of sound and has to do with air friction/ compression and decompression. These rockets were not going faster than 767 mph on approach to land… not sonic booms.
this is flipping amazing. We know over the years of use some are going to fail to land properly but just being able to get half of them to land is a huge resource saver compared to any other time in my lifetime. Congrats to SpaceX
Watching SpaceX boosters land upright is one of the most incredible things to watch. It still feels like the future and I’m mesmerized every single time.

Thanks for the heads-up!
Those crackly sounds are so satisfying.
Those are INSANELY loud sonic booms
And it's insane that it's going supersonic just before it lands 😁
@@ralanham76 it's subsonic before the landing burn starts, so the booms could be from higher/earlier
@@milkdrinker7 maybe 🤔.
I've been at KSC during heavy launch and it looks like the boom happens right before the touchdown.

I believe the sound is the sonic boom from rapid deceleration.
@johnhunter7244 awesome. No never irl but I'd love to see and hear starship 1 day.
@@johnhunter7244agreed, the bass just shook everything from where we were about 20 miles away.
Im pretty sure Space X has single handedly advanced our rocket tech and capabilities by 100 years in the last 10-15 years. Absolutely incredible.
And thats only because of poor government funding. Space x does great work but this should have been do years ago with proper funding.
@@Jeremy9697 oh I absolutely agree.

Absolutely! But one correction, the booster is “only” 145 feet tall. The whole rocket with second stage and fairing is 230 feet 👍
That's really tall, comparable to 7 or 8 stories tall maybe?
As Elon said, like shooting a pencil over the Empire State building and landing it upright.
@@sirmontecristo2808pencil with boosters! But the pencil is incredibly heavy. And the boosters need to be accurate. Incredibly impressive by SpaceX!

I was on the beach in Florida for the first Falcon Heavy launch and it was incredible watching them come back.
Oh my God, we do not have the technology to land rockets. Straight up like a godzilla movie please

They always say a rocket is just a controlled explosion... it most definitely sounds like it up close when the boosters turn on.
