5 AMAZING SpaceX Rocket Landing Videos (Engineering Masterpiece)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Historically, most rockets have needed to use all of their available fuel in order to get their payload into space. SpaceX rockets were built from the beginning with reusability in mind-they have enough built-in fuel margin to deliver a Dragon to the space station and return the first-stage to Earth. That extra fuel is needed to reignite the engines a few times to slow the rocket down and ultimately land the first stage after it has sent the spacecraft on its way.
In addition to extra fuel the rocket has small, foldable heat-resistant wings called grid fins needed for steering the first-stage as it plummets from the edge of space through Earth’s atmosphere, cold-gas thrusters on the top of the first-stage that are used to flip the rocket around as it begins its journey back to Earth, and strong but lightweight carbon fiber landing legs are deployed as it approaches touchdown. All of these systems, while built and programmed by humans, are totally automated once the rocket is launched-and are reacting and adjusting their behavior based on incoming, real-time data.

Hahahah !
Can't agree more !
I’m just curious how gas pressure exist without a container. Violates the second law of thermodynamics does it not? Vacuum space is scientifically impossible unless you deny entropy
The flat earth society believe in space, flat earth research have proven time and time again space is made in a Hollywood basement
The Flat Earth Society is a Fake Flat Earth Site, you morons.
It’s good that people are calling this fake. That means it’s so extraordinary to a point that it’s unbelievable.

@@jiiiigsaw wow ur joking right?
Watching these reminds you watching those old 50's and 60's Sci-Fi movies where the rocket lands on a planet upright it's science fiction becoming reality.
I really cant believe it . Its so cool !
So true and we are yet to see what more is going to become reality in few years time. Maybe like 'Going for a picnic to Mars' xD
We when from landing falcon 9 boosters too landing an actual starship rocket.
I can definitely wait for SkyNet to take over.
Omg that's what I thought. I like didn't believe what I was seeing at first. Looks like some planet of the apes practical effect. Can't believe that's what it really looks like.
From a Former NASA employee.... All were amazing. THIS is what NASA should have been doing all along!... GO SPACEX!..You got my vote!!!
Surely it was more about braking through cultural paradigms than actually doing it right at first place
They had no need because they are finance with the peoples money, ergo they don't care about the money, its not their money. Thats why they are no match when private competition appears.
lol
Why didn't these engineers receive a Nobel Peace prize? Awesome. No one ever thought a rocket could land on a moving barge no less. Awesome! Shalom
because it is a joke and not real...you notice it cuts out as soon as it lands. only shows pieces of it never the full clip. Is that not suspicious?
You can't be serious
He thinks the Earth is flat and they didn't land on the moon also.
history is full of naysayers that eventually had to eat their own words. Which I don't understand. When something is amazing, and right in front of you, why would you deny yourself that excitement and wonder? Its just like the people that say the moon landing was faked.. They are deliberately choosing to ignore the evidence just so they can live in an unrealistically shittier, more boring world that they create for themselves. I don't get it

Beautifull, I remember cartoons the same kind of landing.
Yea or the movies with the toy rockets being lowered by guide wires but still looking awful similar to this
The Adventures Of Tintin - Explorers On The Moon Part 1 and 2 is an example.
They did it in the Bond movie You Only Live Twice and it blew my mind as a kid.
These landings are as remarkable as the lift offs. Just shaking my head, astounding!
Obviously, the most PERFECT landing was the one that exploded!
In a way, it was. You learn more from failure than from success.

Yes, that one looked incredibly cinematic. You have this beautiful scene, and then a rocket comes into view and just lands as if it's no big deal. Looked quite like how one might set up a spacecraft landing scene in a sci-fi movie.
@@malachiwiens2455Probably because it was
I feel the video where the rocket exploded might have been the most perfected landing. Consider this, experimenting and attempting what you could do, compared with what you know you can do has merit. The pilot was gaining an understanding of the control of the vehicle & in turn developed an understanding that enabled them to complete the task in video 5.
Pip Grace
Its controlled by the Flight Control Systems onboard...
Lol, you think someone was landing it manually? 🤣🤣
The pilot 😂😂😂😂 , they just lost their best pilot in the explosion... Damn, another 3bn to train the next one... Hopefully he's better than the last
That last one was so smooth
It's a great way to blow the dust off a parking lot.
You should put dirt and water on the moon excellent video.
Also amazing is they still use the same drone ships even after all those rockets that exploded on them.
Re-use is the main idea behind the SpaceX space programs in order to keep the missions feasible.

Amazing. Not one civilian in the whole world with all the cell phones cameras in the world has ever seen one of these landings

It may might be kinda easy or may be hard to land a rocket, in my opinion because the Falcon 9 1st stage uses Hydraulic pump inside to control the grid fins and uses RCS thrusters inside of the Falcon 9 1st stage.
Interesting point, what makes you think so?
I remember not to many years ago a rocket landing like that was pure science fiction!
Still is. Never underestimate the general public's gullibility to believe utter tosh.
Man... this is called modern rocket science 🤓
Lmao

Wow that’s amazing.
Can anyone identify the species of birds that are flying along backwards in 2 of those “landings”.
These species are from SpaceX!
ummm timestamps pls or stfu its cleary not fake. the smoke that is generated by the rockets for this to be in reverse the smoke would have had to be there already and how could that be if the rocket didn't even fire yet

what is no. 3 launch? which rocket was it?
Space x: our booster can land
Flat earther: yeah nice CGI
Lol
the engineers did their best.
well done.
"Engineering is the closest thing to magic in this world" :D
This is still the coolest thing I've ever seen!
I am not sure about this. The rockets seem to be coming down at a fair rate of speed & at an angle. Then it slows to next to nothing to land. But how does the rocket correct it’s angle ? I can’t see any side retro booster type things ( I am not sure what they are called )to rectify this. If this is real then it’s very clever, but I have doubts.
There are "grid fins" on the side of each booster, near the top, that it can pivot to steer itself. These provide additional drag. As for how it slows down so quickly - keep in mind that despite the size of the booster, it's actually not very heavy at this point. It's mostly an empty tank, because it already spent most of its fuel during the ascent. It doesn't take much force to slow something down that has very little mass.
Additionally, each engine has something called 'thrust vectoring', which means each engine can individually tilt its nozzle to provide thrust in a certain direction, rather than straight down. This is used for fine steering once it's almost at the pad. This is very noticeable in video 4, when the booster is off-course and is trying desperately to correct itself, so it uses every method it has - grid fins, thrust vectoring, and even RCS (reaction control system), the puffs of gas near the top.
That's a wonderful explanation. Thank you so much !
Much appreciated!
You can see them poofing out the sides of the top on one of the landings. They also vector the nozzle I believe.
Absolutely amazing! They doing the impossible
just like when I was a kid, now its real wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This reminds me of that gravitar game on Miniclip back in the early 2000's lol
Watched it land Sunday night in person in Lompoc, CA. It is very much for real! I was amazing to watch and the sonic boom was awesome!
I’m surprised you haven’t gotten a million comments saying your a troll!
Lol never in a million years is this stuff real all u believers dont really deep down believe this fakery
When the best part of a rocket launch is the landi
I remember when falcon heavy was launched
Perfect art piece of engineering
Fantastic, look like elien invasion. Amaizing
“Elon” invasion 😉
Number 2 was perfect.
the last landing was awesome!
yeah, couldn't have been done by hand and eye - it's up to the very clever tech ( I guess a whole load of gyroscopes linked to the tiny flaps to get it so perfectly vertical just before touchdown - very impressive stuff!
Even we loved it too !
Thank you for your feedback and have a nice day !
Do you mean the last CGI computer animated Landing
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson eat your hearts out. . . .
Bet you NASA are rubbing their budget after seeing this achievement.
Where are the counter thrusters to control the angle of the rocket when landing?!?
AMAZING !! I can honestly see how people can call the ' FAKE ' card. I didn't believe it when someone told me about it. It really is incredible how they can do that.
It's more incredible that someone landed on the moon 1969 but in 2019 we can't do the same thing
Welcome to the 21st century ! :D
by rotating then 180* digree and open thrusters to reduce velocity elon musk is the greatest man in this centrury
I think people who say it's fake are kinda dumb actually. With all the self stabilizing tech we have like drones that perfectly balance themselves and do insane computer controlled maneuvers. It's not hard to believe at all that you can apply similar software technology to a rocket and just program it for different vectors using the grid fins, side thrusters and vectoring the nozzle. You just program it to conteract forces. Of course the engineering to do this with a rocket is insane, I'm not diminishing it, but anyone who thinks this is too advanced to be believable is a simpleton with no understanding of technology.
@@Q5000 exactly. the conspiracists underestimate current tech so much. they say this is all cgi while holding devices that transmit ungodly amounts of data every moment, devices that allow us to be pretty much anywhere on earth and obtain all known knowledge until this point. like cmon. humans are more technologically advanced than you think
Sheldon would be proud!!!
Ahahaha Hilarious
It's like taking science fiction & making it a reality
0:50 was most perfect landing
incredible engineering

Don’t get me wrong here people but this is satisfying in way in can’t explain
The CGI is strong on this one
Dude the one where it blows up is SOOO amazing!
Bitch shut the hell up bitch you couldn’t land a drone let alone a rocket
The last simulation looked the best. I'd go with that one.
Simulation is the key word
And another person screaming FAKE!!!! 😒
@@carlover5911 because it is fake. It is called cgi. It's just a pre-coneption of what a landing should be like or how ir is expected to be
Ignore the live feed and the eye wittnesses and the workers and the astronaughts. Its all fake right. And space is water and the sky is a dome made by god , thats why we can‘t go to space
It's not a simulation, its a actual footage !
Landing number 2 and 1 because the rocket landed on the surface and they switched off the engine successfully. Even the one in the ship. That was perfect.
i swear "i can almost see the string"
i mean, not really seeing the string, but the way the rocket swaying, to the left and right make me questioning these..
please add up some calculation of the landing, or maybe a footage with cgi to expalin how it works...
You're a funny guy....lol
i don't think i was trying to be funny...
just like "astronauts pull each other string" video on youtube (go search and see).. we've been fooled too often...
1 simple thing: smaller thrusters on top of the rocket.
is that so..??
no comment about "astronauts pull each other string"..??
VVindowZ So what is your degree in sciences that will help you understand the maths?
The new era begins
My 8 year boy says he like first landing was awesome. .wow
I personally love the second one because it looks like it's about to fail and manages to correct at the last second. Huge accomplishment there.
Thank you for your feedback Geeta !
Have a great day day ahead !
1. How big are the rockets
2. What is the purpose of landing the rocket ?
3 . where do they get the funding for these.
This article should be helpful for you.
Link : www.engineeringworldchannel.com/spacex-rockets-landing/
one reason that they can land them is so they are reuseable
1. The Falcon 9 rockets seen in the video are about 70m(230ft)
2. The purpose of landing the booster is for re-usability, to drive down the cost of access to space
3. The funding is secured by private investors and the customers that pay SpaceX to place their satellites into orbit.
@@fiveoh1927 Nasa dude. Nasa funds them the most
looks alot like CGI in my opinion.
I agree.
It's real
How do they break through the firmament?
Hail Satan.
Do you think the landings are fake?
You are fake news
of course they are fake..
.......how much fuel does a rocket need to be able to fly “round-trip”?? AND retro-land!!!!
.......how easy is it to recover a WINGED JET PLANE, from a full freefall, combined with rolling, tumbling and flipping in EVERY DIRECTION..??? change that to a tupe with NO WINGS....!!! not only recover, reverse 180 degrees.. slow down, and land!!!!! all on one tank of fuel!!! lol
......anyone who thinks rockets can retro-land.. have NEVER flown even a toy rocket!! forget rockets, why do you think Quad-copter drones are SO FLAT AND WIDE.?? even then, its hard to keep them level.. imagine the drone as a pencil.. and try keeping that baby straight!!!! LOL....now try throwing it so that its flipping in every direction.... NOW RETRO-LAND THAT PENCIL!!!!
Engineering World completely fake!! They just rewind a video of rockets taking off.
well they i think they are real cause if look closely there are thrusters on the the top of the rocket and the bottom thurster is movable
it can move in a circle like up to 45 to 70 degrees ac comping with the top one thrusters to balance the rocket while landing and as those rockets are not leaving earth so they dont need extra fule tanks and thursters as the extra thrusters are only needed to increase the speed of the rocket so that it can enough speed to leave earths magnetic field
Govan Sossion so that’s how exhaust plume goes back UP the exhaust....yeah, guess again. No one launches from a empty pad. No one
The 1 I liked the best was the last 1
“Which was the perfect landing according to you?”
- not #4
Duh that was a crash.
I think the sea one was the most smooth nice!
1:06 Landing, huh.
At 02:19 min. At the head (top) of the rocket, there are (3 or 4) little engines to arrange the vertical line of the rocket.

Thank you, I will not enter it.
Tom Chan yeah I always feel stupider after reading your comments
Strongly agree
Question, when the ticket came in to land did the landing area sink ? Thousands of pounds of force to keep that rocket up, did the platform sink at all?????
although you might think it could sink, that is simply not the case. I don't have a large understanding of how the falcon 9 rockets work, but im sure they lose a lot of weight after MECO. but you have to understand that ships can hold large amounts of weight, and I don't know what its called in physics, but an example are cargo ships-they carry tons and tons of cargo, so just because something is heavy, doesn't mean something on water can't hold it. I understand how it can be a little skeptical to you, but physics is confusing to me too.
That ship is the size of a football field.....
Please keep in mind that despite the size of the booster, it's actually not very heavy at landing because It's mostly an empty tank and it already spent most of its fuel during the ascent and therefore the landing platform doesn't sink.
you guys realise that people have seen this happen in real life right?
This doesn't prove anything one way or another but: I implore you to find one live facebook feed of this happening. Everyone has phones nowadays, and surely someone made a video of this on their phone. But all I can ever find is the same footages, none of which are ever longer than 15 seconds.

jeff, i know it seems like there would be no purpose to fake the space x rocket landings. amazing things can be done, yes. But this is totally fake in every way!!!!!! Jeff, come on brother. Because you asked the question, I know that your subconscious knows already that what you are seeing here is 100%%%%%% FAKE and you are listening to that ask asking a honest question, so I want to give a honest reply:
when i look at the rocket at 2:18 , I want to puke. Just look at the outline. LMAO!!!!!!!;D If it was a PLAYSTATION commercial. JUST IMAGINE THAT spaxeX for Playstation 5
I do see what you are talking about the outline of the rocket looking fake. But just because something looks fake doesn't mean it actually is- what appears to be sloppy editing around the edges of the rocket is actually something else- refraction of light due to the hot air that the rocket is descending down into, a second or two behind the thrusters. It is the same effect that you get when you look above the surface of hot pavement on a sunny day- the hot air causes visual distortions in the air. Im sure you know what effect I am referring to..
If someone really wanted to fake a video to convince the masses then they wouldn't have included this visual effect, since it does make the video look fake if you don't realize what you are actually looking at.
Besides, it is actually quite easy to make a fake video that looks flawlessly real (Hollywood does it all the time), so to suggest that Space X put out such a lousy fake doesn't really make any sense when you consider all the resources they have.
it looks so fake, it must be real.

You should share your experiences being a nasa engineer. I would love to read that!
The one question I'm asked most often is, "Did they find any life on the moon that they're keeping secret?" I was not privy to that information. But It seems to me that if there was intelligent life on the far side of the moon, we would have continued flying there and we probably would have built a lunar colony. By the way, I am really pissed off that we never built a lunar colony in the almost fifty years since we first landed. We wasted all those years when we could have learned how to live on another world. What a great training ground it would have been for a Mars colony!
