  • Was a beautiful day just too many clouds. We have never seen the boost back so clearly. That's 60 miles up and flying back to LZ-1. Just incredible engineering !!

      Kids: Dad why do you always get so excited when a rocket lands?
      Me: Because it is a very amazing feat that this thing went to space carrying cargo and landed back in just a few minutes.
      Kids: So?
      Me: Other rockets can't land, they just throw it into the ocean
      Kids: BUT WHYYYY what a waste!

  • @fepatton
    @fepatton 3 роки тому +18

    That was amazing! You really get a sense when the boost-back starts of the intense acceleration with no payload and almost no fuel. I spent many years in the satellite command and control arena, and when Falcon 9s started doing these boost-backs, I thought of the proposed RTLS abort modes for the shuttle and I just couldn't take in the implications for required marginal fuel loads and the accelerations needed to do this. Then I found a site (I think for model rocket enthusiasts) that had the flight profile, and that burn is something like 15Gs. This video really brings that to life!

      but since they used to tell us ( in church etc) that basicly only earth has life etc.
      and that scientists are wrong about earth's age and other things like that.
      i simply walked away, seeing the amount of galaxies out there, with each galaxies having an insane amount of stars, with each star(or most) having some planets
      it would be insanely arrogant of humans to think we are the only life out here, im not even talking intelligent life, im counting microbes as a religion defeater too.
      basicly if humans ever find microbes or signs of it on other planets in our own solar system it already defeats most religions that currently exist ( and there are so many religion, everyone thinks they have the right one)
      when i just moved into my own house, some jehova witnesses knocked on my door, first encounter ever and i heard the stories about them.
      but for the first time in my life, i actually had an intelligent conversation instead of a bullshit one, they actually mentioned the age of earth wasn't determined in the bible, and that they didn't denie other life to exist out there, was quite a funny interaction.

Being able to see everything from stage sep to RCS thrusts to landing like this looked unreal. 5 minutes ago, I believed they should always land on autonomous drone ships, for the obvious reasons, but after seeing this I now believe it should be on land although that's not going to happen much due to positional requirements.
