  • The vital role of Autonomous Spaceport Droneships (ASDS) in revolutionizing rocket reusability. In this detailed video, we unravel the necessity of droneships for high-performance missions, the evolution of these marine marvels, and the unique technology that sets them apart from ordinary barges. Discover how SpaceX's marine assets contribute to their mission success, defy conventional recovery methods, and what the future holds for these floating launch pads. Whether you're a space enthusiast or curious about marine engineering, this video is packed with insights into the intersection of aerospace and maritime technology.

    The employees of that mini navy have some of the coolest jobs in the world.

    From a former sailor, this was a fascinating review of the SpaceX's seabased assets. This video really nailed down the challenges to develop these assets. I am impressed with SpaceX's at sea accomplishments.

    You know, it's really great to see a young person like yourself be interested and promote space exploration and rocket technology. Some young people scoff and tell us it's all fake, cgi, etc. Good luck to you. I'm one of the older generations who witnessed Sputnik and the Apollo programs to the moon. So I'll miss all the great things to come but you'll see it all. Mars landings, the new telescopes explaining our origin, finding life, etc. Keep it up. My tip, instead of reporting on SpaceX, get a job with SpaceX. Be there. Be the first.

    • @kargaroc386
      @kargaroc386 Місяць тому

      Well then who will report on it? lol we can't *all* work there. Also I bet that'll only leave the, uh, ones that aren't "all that", not "the A team", to do the reporting.

    • @briangodfrey7424

    Almost 10 years simce the first successful Falcon9 landing and still, nobody is close. By the time Starship becomes operational along with its intended cadence and rapid reuse.
    Where does that leave the competition? I dont think they stand a chance.

    9:10 and 10:00. The burn marks on the deck show the booster consistently lands towards the stern rather than in the center of the bullseye. I've seen this on at least one other drone ship, and for quite a while. NSF, do you know why?

    • @heartysteer8752
      @heartysteer8752 Місяць тому

      I'd think they have the ability to control the booster to have it come back near the fairings. Yeah, it would be nice to know more though.
