We have come a long way since the 1980s while I was a kid when we only had to wait for shuttle launches, because they never really aired any satellite launches or they weren't as exciting as they are today
I'm excited because I participated in the NASA "Mission In The Bottle," opportunity to have my name engraved alongside many other American citizens on that chip that was attached to the hull of the Clipper Spaceship. At some point it would be so nice if NASA read off the names during the mission over the years at some point. In the meantime I would like to say: "Go Clipper!"
@NASASpaceFlight - the weather panel you showed just before the launch showed the barometric pressure as 1017 in (inches) - that's about 33 Atmospheres. You might want to get a weather forecast using the correct pressure units, in this case hPa
Does all cores have landing legs and grid fins unmounted? Makes sense, just not sure if there is special permission needed a d how it influenced flight sw, and performance
The further we can throw Europa Clipper, the better - it's a huge important mission with a long travel time, so FH needed to give all the performance it could! :)
It's not superior 😂 you misunderstand the reasons Falcon heavy is used.....it's because it's tried and true. Once starship gets to that point falcon heavy will be redundant.....
Yep - for those, Starship requires a refuelling vehicle, and those will constitute a large amount of the launches that take place. But you can take much larger and heavier probes as well! :)
@@johnnyringo35 I suggest you check out the performance and payload chart for The Starship. Because of the insistence of being 100% reusable, Starship have a lot of dead weight that reduce payload capacity and high orbit performance . Without a redesign of the upper stage or having an expendable upper stage, Starship is actually inferiors to many platform such as The SLS, Falcon Heavy or Ariane 6 for such mission I mentioned .
how fast is the key. The higher the altitude before the rocket stops thrust the lower the needed velocity. Escape velocity from sea level is 7 miles per second. However that is not solar escape velocity. As far as I know everything that has reached solar escape velocity used a gravity assist from at least one gas giant.
Since the second stage is on almost the same trajectory, will it fire to ensure it has zero chance of hitting any of Jupiter's satellites? It would be prudent.
Firstly it’s not “out of gravity”, gravitational acceleration from earth still acts on objects in orbit but they are moving fast enough to be in perpetual free fall. I’m not sure what exactly causes it to move, but it’s probably internal vibrations caused by the engine
@@leezaard3944 It's the cold gas thrusters used for roll control since there's only one upper stage engine and the turbopump exhaust can't gimbal. And yes, and even more importantly if you are firing a rocket engine you are under acceleration which is going to locally look identical to gravity.
thanks to SpaceX a great Start had been accomplished. The future is in cooperation of NASA, ESA, IAXA (and China! ? , sorry Roskosmos) with SpaceX; NASA better build a powerful Ion thruster engine to complement SpaceX capabilities. Then we can goto Mars and beyond! 2nd stage is going into solar orbit now, maybe we (Earth) meet again decades in the future?
What a time to be alive… yesterday Super Heavy and Starship and today Falcon Heavy and every other day Falcon 9 Starlink launches… !!!
Turning point in WORLD HISTORY. Succeeded the incredible mission.

What an amazing 30 hours!
May god be with you, Clipper.
God.
Space X is INSANE they’re just launching stuff back to back!! They’re definitely making that bag

Great launch coverage, NSF...👍
I love that sweet roll on launch.
My name is on it!
Thank you NSF for all the Great Week of Great Space Coverage!
Bravooo SpaceX and thank you very much dear NSF
I have my lunch bag ready and waiting for NASA to call me to go where no man has ever gone before. Just forget the problems here on earth.

Yesterday Starship Flight 5 and today FH!!!! WOW!!!!!
Why don't we make devices to create the best patterns/explosions in the electromagnetic barrier / field ?
Europa Clipper from NASA and JUICE from ESA will explore the Jupiter system together in the 2030s.
no explosions for today, good job
Does all cores have landing legs and grid fins unmounted? Makes sense, just not sure if there is special permission needed a d how it influenced flight sw, and performance
Did it go slightly before countdown finished?
Their(NSF's) countdown clock is a few seconds off, plus stream delay
Why were the boosters expended and not recovered? It would have been nice to see a second heavy catch as well.
The further we can throw Europa Clipper, the better - it's a huge important mission with a long travel time, so FH needed to give all the performance it could! :)
I find it funny that the Falcon Heavy is actually superior to the Starship for certain missions, specifically high orbit and deep space insertion.
It's not superior 😂 you misunderstand the reasons Falcon heavy is used.....it's because it's tried and true. Once starship gets to that point falcon heavy will be redundant.....
Yep - for those, Starship requires a refuelling vehicle, and those will constitute a large amount of the launches that take place. But you can take much larger and heavier probes as well! :)

Where are the boosters landing?
They are with the fish now...
they just landed in Atlantis
In the drink. All 3 expended, payload is going to Jupiter and needs all the delta v Falcon Heavy can give it
If a rocket hypothetically could be launched straight up, how far would it have to go to not fall back?
how fast is the key. The higher the altitude before the rocket stops thrust the lower the needed velocity. Escape velocity from sea level is 7 miles per second. However that is not solar escape velocity. As far as I know everything that has reached solar escape velocity used a gravity assist from at least one gas giant.

What causes the silver coloured foil to flap when it is out of gravity? See at 1:35:45 for example.

Where are two booster landing ?

politically only cooperation NASA-ESA is in the cards
Thruster valves by Boeing???
