    It's weird that the boostback burn started so quickly after staging on flight 2 because SpaceX's timeline suggested 12 seconds (and 11 for flight 3)...

    1:07 the SpaceX timeline showed 12 seconds for flight 2 (which was wrong) and 11 seconds for flight 3, so the timeline there's no reason to think there will be a longer gap.

    I would be able to donate a spare sofa couch as payload for free, to have it ejected out the dispenser door. Burning it up in atmosphere would be way cheaper for me, than to bring it to the disposal site here.

    I don't get why they don't reverse and stall orbit. While the fall will still be extreme, it would be much less energy to burn off.

    • @eikopoppy29
      @eikopoppy29 2 місяці тому

      Doing that would require more fuel than is practical to carry with modern technology. There would be no useful mass left for payload. We would need much much more efficient engines to make it viable.

    • @DavJumps
      @DavJumps 2 місяці тому +2

      That would require fuel. You'll need just as much fuel to decelerate from 17,000 mph as you do to accelerate to 17,000mph. That would be impossible to carry with you. That's why spacecraft use the atmosphere to slow themselves down.

      @@up4open763 No. Inert spacecraft in a "stable" orbit will remain in that orbit indefinitely - until the effects of aerodynamic drag slow the vehicle enough to lower its apogee into the thicker part of the atmosphere beyond which it can no longer escape re-entering. Spacecraft in low earth orbit keep their orbits stable by periodically thrusting to keep their orbital velocity high enough to maintain their desired orbital altitude.
      For a spacecraft in a stable orbit to purposefully end its spaceflight and return to the planet, it will conduct a precisely timed engine burn to lower its apogee into the thicker part of the earth's atmosphere at the location and entry angle chosen to allow the spacecraft to both survive the extreme stresses of reentry and target its designated landing site on the surface.
      The change in velocity required is far less than you'd expect. The spacecraft still enters the atmosphere at nearly the same velocity it was traveling at in orbit. The retropropulsive burn isn't about slowing the ship down, but changing its orbit to intersect the atmosphere. If the atmosphere wasn't there, it could very well come around to the other side of the planet at a higher altitude than it entered the burn.
