Well Captain, having watched a dozen or more of these at Cape Canaveral, I would argue that the short trail of white "smoke" in this video from which the descending booster emerges is not part of the smoke contrail it made on the way up... rather it is the visible (condensing water) downward shock wave from the booster going subsonic in the lower atmosphere. If so, it marks the location where the audible sonic boom was actually generated.
What a privilege to see/hear/feel that! I love watching the official SpaceX videos, but it’s so good seeing it from a regular guy’s viewpoint! Thanks for posting 👍😉
These landings never cease to amaze me. Truly epic how far we've come. Can you imagine what's in store 500 years from now? It's incredible to think about. The feats would be unrecognizable if they were shown to us today from the future. Kinda like the UFO sightings lately of alien techn........wait a minute!
The great Arthur C. Clarke once said that we would have had a large base on the Moon (and other things in "2001: A Space Odyssey") but instead that level of expenditure went to the Vietnam War and the nuclear arms race. Wrong priorities--the problem president Eisenhower warned us of in 1961.
I made my first skydive from their location. Time of my life! I also saw a few Falcon 9's lift off during my contract with Vandenberg. I can't tell you how amazing it feels to be so close to a super heavy rocket launch.
@ William Kelley I agree. I used to live in Lompoc. Saw many launches and they were pretty amazing. The people that didn’t know a launch was going to happen would wake up to their house shaking and would think there was an earthquake. Night launches were very spectacular.
puppy got scared and found it's way to mom and dad's legs. so cute but scary how bangs make dogs run, so many pets get lost on 4th of july. great launch and landing spacex!
That is soooooo awesome! I want to see that for real like that! I was around during the shuttle years as a kid and got to see three launch events. This is amazing how they land now... absolutely incredible.
"What was that for?" Well you see, those rockets are actually hurtling towards the landing zone at speeds faster than the speed of sound, that last engine burn slows it from above the speed of sound to just slow enough to safely land without damaging it's landing legs. So basically what you're actually hearing, is SpaceX being absolute badasses in rocketry and making what was once deemed virtually impossible a regular occurrence. That or Guile is over there throwing out his special moves.

The altitude of the supersonic vehicle affects how far sonic booms can travel. They're heard based on the width of the "boom carpet." The width ends up being about one mile for each 1,000 feet of altitude, so an aircraft flying at 50,000 feet would produce a sonic boom cone about 50 miles wide. Thank Google 🤪 But another commenter did the maths and worked out that it was about 14.7 kms in altitude so that would make it audible for just over 48 miles if I'm doing the calculation right, (good chance I messed it up though lol, can someone fact check that? Math ain't my strong point).
That was great thx for capturing it seen many launches but this perspective is my personal best can't believe there's still people that think is fake 😂
It didn't had landed, it simply landed. Not sure why are you are putting had in front of landed. It's actually a very specific usage, perhaps look it up.

I live in SWFLA and back in the day, periodically the Space Shuttle would land here... but when it did, there would be this super loud double sonic boom !!! We could even hear it here in SWFLA though the landing areas was on the opposite side of the state of Florida. It was so loud... it sounded like someone blowing something up next door to your house !!
A lot of cool plans flew into just to watch the launch. I never saw so many parked at Lompoc airport. It was really neat to see. I think there was a Cessna, Bonanza, and a Piper. I'm still new to aviation and plane models.
A pretty loud boom we don't often hear anymore. Love that white and red Cessna 120 in the foreground; my Dad had one (in the late 1940's) and I got the flying bug in it. Lots of changes since then in both aviation and space.
What do you fly today @Paul? Thanks for pointing out the 120. Typically, the airport is quiet, but on launch day all the neighbors flew in to watch it. Quite the crowd gathered on the perfect day for the launch. There were lots of planes to look see. Afterward, they all flew away and went on their merry way.
I’m retired now but flew corporate aircraft for 31 years. In the beginning, it was twin Cessnas, 310, 411 and 421’s. My next company had a variety over a 25 year span. King air 90, Citation 500’s, 550’s, 650, Westwind 1124’s, Challenger 600’s and finally Learjet 60’s. The Challengers were wonderful to fly and the Lears the most exciting and demanding. Moving to the 60’s from the Challengers was like going from a limo to a Corvette. Really high performance and fun to fly, perhaps my favorite of all the jets I flew. I only fly in my dreams now.
I used to fly helo's at Vandenberg and we would would always be airborne during Minuteman launches to clear the area. Of course they were one-way events with no returns (thank goodness) but very impressive to watch from fairly close while airborne.
Two great views of the first stage returning! From overhead and just before the landing. The camera operator could have used an extra set of eyes. The sonic boom was fantastic.! Funny seeing that dog take off running. Interesting to hear the airplane hangars shake and rattle.
I’ve been lucky enough to be at a fishing spot, off the bridge that passes close to the Cape, going into Cocoa Beach, and got to experience a Falcon Heavy launch. The double sets of sonic booms where so intense, that it shook the shrubbery around me and the others that stopped to watch it

I remember one year I was living in Tampa, and heard a sonic boom. Scared the crap out of me, and rattled shit on shelves. Turns out it was from the shuttle flying by on the way to land at the Kennedy Space Center. Pretty cool. Also got to drive over there for a Shuttle Launch. Definitely the coolest thing I've ever seen.
@@toddhershberger Hi Gabriel, Thunderbirds was a famous 1960s TV series using supermarionation about a millionaire retired astronaut and his family who undertook amazing rescues from their remote island base using technology that has since come true. The effects were all pre-CGI and here are the opening credits which I hope you like: ua-cam.com/video/huPB3T0v_uQ/v-deo.html
Have you seen the onboard video showing the steering vanes working hard to maneuver it? I had always thought they did it by just vectoring the thrust of the rocket with the help of some thrusters near the top of that stage. But they've really got this technique dialed in. And they must have a pretty good algorithm controlling it all. Because I once got the opportunity to try this on a computer simulation with me manually controlling it and all I managed to do was come down too slow or too fast. Too slow - you run out of fuel before you're on the ground. Too fast - you hit the ground too hard. Either way, it's a disaster. SpaceX makes it look easy but it's not.
I think you are referring to the grid fins. Yes. SpaceX teams make it look so easy. They did go through a learning process in the early days and many rockets exploded. Getting to space is hard.
@@toddhershberger The first time I saw the grasshopper in a hover I just didn't understand the end game - the vision that started with that, to end up here, is amazing. People who claim this is a setup or fake just don't seem to remember exactly how many rockets crashed in order to achieve success.
Jay, the landing is truly phenomenal. The rocket must carry enough fuel on board to slow the descent. In other words, it carries fuel that is not used for ascent but only descent. At the same time the guidance computer is working and performing thousands of calculations while servos direct the rocket nozzle and stabilizer fins. I'm not sure this could have happened 20 years ago. It took the private sector with profit as its sole motivation to come up with a solution.
@@TXARNGarmy100 I was taping the screen to get it to into focus. In hindsight, the camera system on the OnePlus 6T should have been put in manual mode and not AF.
Every so often here in the UK there will be a report of an explosion heard over a large area of the country, it’s the RAF Typhoons going supersonic to intercept Russian aircraft frying just a bit too close to UK airspace. People don’t realise quite how loud a sonic boom is, it’s what did for Concorde as a viable form of transport.
10secs after landing the sound boom you heard . 🔊 speed sound Normal projectory - Sound travels & 761 mph 0r 343 metres per sec 10 secs = 3.430 klms - 2.1ml add angle & defusions about 28klm - 18mls away , Easy when lightining Strikes above count the secs after a ⚡🌩 strike 6 x say 4 = miles
@@toddhershberger 1.8, not 18. Sound travels at (very) roughly 1000 feet per second, or roughly 5 and a bit seconds per mile, so 10 seconds = a little under 2 miles. 18 miles would be 95 seconds or a minute and a half before you hear the boom (and it would probably be too attenuated by then).
@@LackingUtility I am no math or science wiz but doesn't sound travel faster or at least more easily over water. I have always heard this but never knew if it was true.

It's not like they were purposefully trying to be wasteful. The technology to achieve this kind of recovery isn't easy to develop. Besides the Space Shuttle program was the beginning of reusable spacecraft, albeit not to the level it is done today.
as a kid who grew up in So Cal I miss those BOOMS, back in my childhood they happened ALL the Time! Last good one I got to hear was the twin booms from the shuttle coming into Edwards.
Them dogs were like F THAT WE OUT 😂😂😂😂😂 that's a spectacular distance for a sonic boom I mean just the time it took to get from point A to point B you know that was a ridiculous distance.

I used to fly helo's at Vandenberg and we would would always be airborne during Minuteman launches to clear the area. Of course they were one-way events with no returns (thank goodness) but very impressive to watch from fairly close while airborne.
Yes that does sound like an awesome experience.
Imagine these in the future being commercial 😂😂. Imagine being neighbors to "rocket ports" . Wouldn't wanna build there. Lol😂
right. people don't like living next to airports or rail yards, but some still do.
Two great views of the first stage returning! From overhead and just before the landing. The camera operator could have used an extra set of eyes. The sonic boom was fantastic.! Funny seeing that dog take off running. Interesting to hear the airplane hangars shake and rattle.
Many thanks!
Rocket booster travels at the speed of sound. Little brown dog: "hold my beer." lol
This is probably the best sonic boom audio ever.
Thanks. That means a lot
Love it! "Wait for it, wait for it!........BOOM!
Wait for it.... Lol 😆
Those poor dogs! I’m surprised they didn’t run away when the boom happened!
The airport is fenced in.
The brown one ran but was brought back.
Use to hear a lot of sonic booms at Edwards AFB back in the 80's and 90,s when I use go there TDY. You get use to them. And yes , They are loud.
Very cool
As out of focus videos of blue sky go, this one is in the top 10,000 that I’ve ever seen.
I’ve been lucky enough to be at a fishing spot, off the bridge that passes close to the Cape, going into Cocoa Beach, and got to experience a Falcon Heavy launch. The double sets of sonic booms where so intense, that it shook the shrubbery around me and the others that stopped to watch it
Plot twist: the boom was just the guy in the black shirt making a huge fart
in the words of Elon Musk, "...That was so Unreal"
Nice!
Amazing right?!
@@toddhershberger amazing is an understatement... No word!
1:40 that guy really had a sonic boom!
lol
Almost in frame, almost in focus! :)
LOL Haven't heard that in a Long time! Shook the House, Windows & Me years ago. *Really Cool Thanks!*
Very nice! Thanks for sharing
Thank you sir
In Germany that would be not allowed. Much to loud. Latest innovation here: The Potato
haha
Too much CO2 and too technical. They rather stick with gender science. After all, they do have now about 69 genders in Germany. And it's getting more by the month. For AI they have two departments at their universities, for gender studies nearly 20.
@@toddhershberger Nothing to lough if you live here. From the perspective from the outside you might think germany is a great country. THAT IS NOT TRUE! Google will help: Electricity Price, Condition of Streets, Politicans with self made doctor titles, Immigrants with over 20 identitys, genderwahn, Income and taxes, autonomous driving and UNECE Rules.And billions from the Taxpayer transfered to BMW. IONITY price one kWh = 79 cent.
My God that was funny. Caught me WAY offguard :) Well played Andreas!!
Germans
I remember the Space Shuttle twin sonic booms!
Really? Say more
Something super badass about rockets landing. I don’t know what it is but it’s badass
Sonic boom is amazing
It's so loud. I heard today that someone spilled coffee all over themselves
Were lucky, we existed in Elon musk's lifetime
It's a great time to be alive
All the slaves his family used to make money, not so much.
I've watched Alan Shephard's first sub-orbital flight on grainy black and white TV, and now this on UA-cam.
An interesting span of time, to be sure.
Gazzadubsmate they didn’t read the fine print
@@gazzadubsmate all this money that Elon musk has came from Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX and his other companies. His family has nothing to do with his fortune, maybe only with his education while children and university.
sonic boom legit...
Poor dogs
Dude in the black needs some new pants after that!! 🤣😂
Probably
I remember one year I was living in Tampa, and heard a sonic boom. Scared the crap out of me, and rattled shit on shelves. Turns out it was from the shuttle flying by on the way to land at the Kennedy Space Center. Pretty cool. Also got to drive over there for a Shuttle Launch. Definitely the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I bet that was scary. That's a cool story to tell. I wonder if the news should tell people to expect the sonic boom.
That was like something from an episode of Thunderbirds except the technology is real and happening now. Than you for posting, that has made my day!
What is Thunderbirds? A Netflix series?
@@toddhershberger Hi Gabriel, Thunderbirds was a famous 1960s TV series using supermarionation about a millionaire retired astronaut and his family who undertook amazing rescues from their remote island base using technology that has since come true. The effects were all pre-CGI and here are the opening credits which I hope you like: ua-cam.com/video/huPB3T0v_uQ/v-deo.html
The boom is so cool after covid i will go to Florida and try to watch a launch
You should
That boom may have killed covid in a ten mile radius.
Have you seen the onboard video showing the steering vanes working hard to maneuver it? I had always thought they did it by just vectoring the thrust of the rocket with the help of some thrusters near the top of that stage. But they've really got this technique dialed in. And they must have a pretty good algorithm controlling it all. Because I once got the opportunity to try this on a computer simulation with me manually controlling it and all I managed to do was come down too slow or too fast. Too slow - you run out of fuel before you're on the ground. Too fast - you hit the ground too hard. Either way, it's a disaster. SpaceX makes it look easy but it's not.
I think you are referring to the grid fins. Yes. SpaceX teams make it look so easy. They did go through a learning process in the early days and many rockets exploded. Getting to space is hard.
@@toddhershberger The first time I saw the grasshopper in a hover I just didn't understand the end game - the vision that started with that, to end up here, is amazing.
People who claim this is a setup or fake just don't seem to remember exactly how many rockets crashed in order to achieve success.
Jay, the landing is truly phenomenal. The rocket must carry enough fuel on board to slow the descent. In other words, it carries fuel that is not used for ascent but only descent. At the same time the guidance computer is working and performing thousands of calculations while servos direct the rocket nozzle and stabilizer fins. I'm not sure this could have happened 20 years ago. It took the private sector with profit as its sole motivation to come up with a solution.
You just described a suicide burn. It's an actual term, look it up! Rocket suicide burns.
So cool! Great shot!
focus.
@@TXARNGarmy100 I was taping the screen to get it to into focus. In hindsight, the camera system on the OnePlus 6T should have been put in manual mode and not AF.
*THATS SO AMAZING. GO SPACE X! YOU GUYS ARE DOING AMAZING WORK!*
Yes they are
The wait for it is the best part. The guy certainly knew what to expect, unlike some others... LOL
I wonder if he was an engineer.
UNBELIEVABLE TECHNOLOGY, GO HARD OR GO HOME.
The technology has really improved
And that everyone is why you cant fly supersonic over land LOL
Good point 👍
Every so often here in the UK there will be a report of an explosion heard over a large area of the country, it’s the RAF Typhoons going supersonic to intercept Russian aircraft frying just a bit too close to UK airspace. People don’t realise quite how loud a sonic boom is, it’s what did for Concorde as a viable form of transport.
I want to experience this at least once in my life .
There are lots of Starlink launches happening. Another 60 satellites just went up as I posted this comment.
@@toddhershberger ikkkk 😭😭😭 i just happen to live in SPAIN 😭😭
This has brightened my day 😇 I love to see people and dogs scatter like ice from a spoon when they are startled. 😂😂
from a spoon? haha
Wunderbar -- Thanks for posting.
You're welcome
10secs after landing the sound boom you heard . 🔊 speed sound
Normal projectory - Sound travels & 761 mph 0r 343 metres per sec 10 secs = 3.430 klms - 2.1ml
add angle & defusions about 28klm - 18mls away , Easy when lightining Strikes above count the secs after a ⚡🌩 strike 6 x say 4 = miles
So it was about 18 miles away as it slowed down though Mach 1. Thank you for your helpful comment. You are a math wizard🚀
@@toddhershberger 1.8, not 18. Sound travels at (very) roughly 1000 feet per second, or roughly 5 and a bit seconds per mile, so 10 seconds = a little under 2 miles. 18 miles would be 95 seconds or a minute and a half before you hear the boom (and it would probably be too attenuated by then).
@@LackingUtility I am no math or science wiz but doesn't sound travel faster or at least more easily over water. I have always heard this but never knew if it was true.
I was surprised to see the entry burn in the first part of the video.
Good observation
We should build expensive rockets and throw them away every time we use them.- - - - Hang on, let's rethink that idea. I love viewing real live history. Stunning achievement!
Exactly. Imagine flying commercial in a Boeing 747 and then dumping it in Boston Harbor.
It's not like they were purposefully trying to be wasteful. The technology to achieve this kind of recovery isn't easy to develop. Besides the Space Shuttle program was the beginning of reusable spacecraft, albeit not to the level it is done today.
Holy shit that’s amazing. What SpaceX does is simple beyond belief
that was so cool how it pierces the atmosphere and makes so visible clouds
I'm sure how the physics of the condensation work. I think I read it about it, but couldn't explain it to somebody else.
@@toddhershberger im guessing that it instantly evaporates the water around it in the air turning it to steam
Just click 7 on your keyboard and you'll hear the almighty BOOM!
Nice keyboard shortcut! The almighty 7
Was it the walls of the hangars that were shaking right after the boom?? Goosebumpish!!
Yes. Exactly!
Turn off your auto-focus dude...
Go to Vandenberg yourself, dude
@@AerialFrameworks If I wanted your opinion two years ago, I would've asked, dip s h i t.
as a kid who grew up in So Cal I miss those BOOMS, back in my childhood they happened ALL the Time!
Last good one I got to hear was the twin booms from the shuttle coming into Edwards.
Them dogs were like F THAT WE OUT 😂😂😂😂😂 that's a spectacular distance for a sonic boom I mean just the time it took to get from point A to point B you know that was a ridiculous distance.
Thank you @Kenny G
Of course my friend it was an awesome video
Should have set your camera focus to "Infinity", not "Auto-Focus"!!
💯 agree
I learned in engine testing at Rotary Rocket that autofocus and vibration compensation lose their minds when you need them the most. Great footage, you might try Ocean Avenue next time, it feels like it's coming right down on you!
@Ed Straker So what!
@Ed Straker I think it's normal to call digital video recordings 'footage' in a hereditary way, especially when they are edited into some TV or streamed media programming, documentaries, etc. Nobody has been stitching films together for decades anyway, it's all converted to digital first.
one day I want see thats, with my own eyes and hear the 'pretty' sonic boom
Make it happen
When I took my son to see the first Falcon Heavy launch as we were need the landing pad each landing side booster made a triple sonic boom.
@@favesongslist nice!
@@sergiogumer181 TY made a simple blog with a phone video at the end of the landings if you care to check it out. sites.google.com/site/exosnews/home/rockets/falcon-heavy/falcon-heavy-launch-blog
