You are not seeing a live image. Images are taken prior and usually shows the date associated with them. But should you want a more recent image, you can task their satellite directly and it will be delivered to you in a day or two!

They are still planning using air capture for 50 percent of launches in the future

@mosesgreer1129 plan sound nice, I bet they plan allot of things, ......

@@mosesgreer1129no they are not ; they plan to resume recovery in the future (as neutron dev concludes) but not via heli, they just sold their helicopter (for a profit too). They advanced the water sealing etc and future will be all water recoveries.

Exactly! One of the biggest benefits of satellite imagery is reducing information asymmetry.

And it only produced twice the specific impulse of the next best chemical rockets, which is still a very big gain. You can still see the old test facilities on Google Earth, just East of Yucca mountain.

@@skateboardingjesus4006 yeah I had a guy tell me I was on drugs if I thought we built nuclear thermal rockets back in what I'm pretty sure anyone under 30 thinks of as the dark ages. So I through him a couple pictures and a link to a UA-cam video all about them. His response? Crickets

Thanks for the kind words. If you found the is video useful, please share it folks that might benefit from a listen!

@@just_rocket_science UA-cam is not a land of opportunity but a platform for entertainment, I'm so glad i found this page, I'm so glad.

@@just_rocket_science is it too much to ask if you can have a small conversation with me

What kind of technical deep dives would you like to see covered?

@@just_rocket_science I'd love to see more history of rocketry, aerospace design. Development and history of milestone vehicles and engines, different fuel cycles and the reasoning behind choices of each. I'm a giant engineering nerd, so those nitty gritty details are what I'm after.

He wasn't a billionaire. But he had a few hundred million to burn on telsa and spacex.

Well - had you invested when you wrote this comment, when you thought you were too late... you would be up 520% roughly.

@@deanusthadogI am trying to figure out how you got that I thought I was too late by my comment. I was saying “here you go”, as in, here is your opportunity.

⁠​⁠@@deanusthadog I am up 588% as of writing this. I was saying “here you go” as in “here’s your opportunity”.

A fair comment. The lander unfortunately tipped over BUT the side that is tipped only contains a passive payload; the art piece by Jeff Koons. The other payloads are exposed to the lunar environment and are (sort of) functional. All in all, it worked out (ish) 🤞

Thanks! Did you like it? (if yes, what did you like about the video?)

That's "Sir" Peter to mere mortals such as us😂.

You're welcome! Glad you liked it.

I'd love to learn what I got wrong. Can you please help correct it?

Howdy stranger 😯

Not a bad investment considering there stock is at $4 right now. The space market will be booming by the time I retire. Trust me things will be different in 30 to 40 years. I just bought some stock. Good luck Rocket Lab!!

@@matthewfreant9548keep holding. It only gets better

@@matthewfreant9548 in tears reading this now😭 but I’m glad I held for sure

I bet you're really happy with your investment

More to come! What kind of topics in space are you most interested to hear?

Hydrogen is harder to contain because it is a gas and it is much more explosive, if it was this easy we wouldn't use kerosine

correct. Hydrogen x Oxygen combo is the best! But Hydrogen is the LIGHTEST element in the periodic table and you end up needing LARGE tanks to store the gas. On rockets, they are actually liquified but they need to be cooled down to well below sub-zero temps. It takes a lot of insulation to make this work on the pad. The deck is stacked against H2... for now :) It still makes sense on upper stages tho, like Centaur and Blue Origin's BE7.

Now some might say "If you have liquid oxygen anyways, what is the problem with liquid hydrogen?". You need to cool hydrogen _a lot_ more to liquify (-253 °C) than oxygen (- 183 °C). This makes the cooling infrastructure much more complex. Methane liquifies at about the same temperature as oxygen.

​@@just_rocket_science There is a better mix than H2+O2.

Hydrolox engines have a low thrust to weight ratio and you need insulation . Also at 70 kg/m³ the tank is much larger.

This has definitely been getting a lot of attention by Rocket Lab for sure. Enter... Rocket Lab's Neutron vehicle as they *try* to compete with F9.

@@just_rocket_scienceneutron is medium class rocket, and the falcon 9s are heavy with better economic of scale per kg on launches.

The wait time for these ride share missions are too long for a lot of companies. Additionally, some of these satellites require a very specific orbit that a ride share mission is unable to provide. “Sometimes you can take the bus, but sometimes you’ll need an Uber.” That gap is where Rocket Lab is excelling. Keep in mind the launch services is only 1/3 of the gross income of RKLB. Their Space Systems is their real bread and butter.

Rideshare is only worth it if a launch of it is coming soon, beacuse commercial sattelites are made to generate profit, if you wait a few months for a rideshare launch, you might lose a couple mil. Thats where small rockets step in, you can launch when you want at a small price.
