Same. It’s like throwing a pencil off the Empire State Building and having it land on its eraser end! Amazing. I still can’t suss how they keep it perfectly perpendicular/vertical after it flips for its return? I know the 4 “paddles” help guide it… but you’d think they’d have to be using side thrusters or jets to constantly correct any tilting or leaning off to one side or another unless the base is like naturally 10x heavier than the top? Forcing it into that position ? 2 dumb Q’s: Outside of the obvious communications, computers and satellites advancements we’ve made and now have to help guide and fly these things today vs the 70’s - are we (SpaceX) not still using the same fuels that Apollo used 50 years ago? Same propellants I mean? A million gallons Phew! #2) I thought Dragon was the manned capsule only? Whatever the case… after all that’s complete (which seem to be fewer and fewer satellites over the past 4 launches I’ve seen) and wondering if maybe Uncle Sam hitched a ride here too with their own payload as it’s been like 3 launches in 10 days? Pretty aggressive turnaround! Anyway how is the Dragon (whatever it’s called) unit or main rocket that’s deploying the satellites recovered after? and how does it re-enter earths atmosphere? Use heat shields and chutes or ??
@@B00ZEBAR0Nthe Falcon keeps orientation using cold nitrogen jets - I believe at the bottom of the booster. They explain that from time to time on the broadcast, especially if it's a daylight launch where you can see them (though I haven't seen a daylight launch in a while). Unlike the booster, the Dragon capsule is retrieved by using a heat shield to plow through the atmosphere and use that to slow down. The booster doesn't need a heat shield because it isn't fast enough for this to be a problem - it only reaches a height of a 100 and something km, so it isn't coming in particularly fast and then it uses its engine to slow itself down even more. Dragon is often coming in from 500 km height so it is coming in much much faster and doesn't have a huge engine to slow itself - SpaceX originally planned to use the SuperDraco engines on the Dragon to land the capsule (these are currently the largest engines flying on a spaceship, by a huge margin, though starship is going to knock that record out of the park), but NASA is allergically averse to new spaceflight ideas and would not allow that, so the SuperDracos are used only for emergency escape during liftoff and likely don't carry enough fuel for a propolsive landing, at this point in the capsule's design lifecycle.
@@B00ZEBAR0N Apollo used many different fuels, the main ones being hydrolox and kerolox. Kerolox is uses for high thrust engines for the most part, but hydrolox is much more efficient. This was used for the J2 engines, but kerolox was used to fuel the f1 engines. The paddles are basically fins that can rotate and have a lot of control, which is why it isnt leaning. The cold gas thrusters are used to augment control. Dragon flies cargo and crew missions to the ISS and was not flown on this flight. The second stage of Falcon 9 does not get recovered. Dragon uses a heat shield and chutes.
Too bad Jessie probably forgot to do makeup for the early hour launch, not even a single video of her today, she is a great host but indeed pretty too!
SpaceX makes launching rockets look easy and routine. Excellent job to all those who work at SpaceX and make these launches happen. I still love to see the booster(s) land the most, what an amazing sight
Thanks for keeping the streaming of these launches. I love to hear the recovery statistics - keep them going. I want to one day hear about a fairing that was flown for the 100th time.
@@nirbhayatiwari5425 Also, not comparable. China is bruteforcing their way into good mass to orbit numbers. Basically, the government throws more money and people at the problem, and they just build more. SpaceX is doing it with private funding, and while reusing boosters. In SpaceX's case, more launches means they've become more efficient. In China's cases, just that they're throwing more money and people at it to build more boosters.
Incredible to watch these landings. Also the fact that we have gotten used to the successful landings and only measuring how far off-center it landed this time. 😎👍
Well done once again. Always a treat to have Jessie Anderson commentating. Jessie has a knack for giving information in a calm way that doesn't get annoying. I don't mean it as a knock on others, it is just that some people have that ability.
Unbelivble and "normal" the return of main booster that already see like normal if at a few years in the past the majority Said that was never achived😮 ,,,,superb work space X team on this Journey 💪💪. Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
I must say, they've gotten so good at nailing the landings, I would be just as comfortable on one as any fair ride... if they were ridable, (if you know what I mean). They are just spot on, every time. WTG SpaceX!
Great to hear Jessie voice as host of a launch, as it's been a while. Great job Space X team at launching reusable rockets at such a fast pace as well as building out worldwide internet service with low latency.
itll be so nice when launches are so routine they no longer deserve the 'waiting with baited breath' viewing. could you imagine having every flight from every airport giving its own vid stream for people to watch?
Amazing stuff. . . especially when one realizes that this Booster Apogeed at about 115 km, while the previous (Vandenburg) Booster reached over 175 km. . . Math, baby. Math!
I really miss the “news and updates” Space X used to have before the actual launch… While I still watch an occasional launch, they mostly all just seem the same now without that. I could see with so many launches they might not want to include a lot of that before EVERY launch, otherwise that might be mostly the same too. A nice compromise might be to just have a separate Space X - Starlink news and updates show every week or two..
Any type of nighttime landings are impressive, it reminds me of pilots using vfr for flying and landing in large Jets, it seems about impossible, but the instruments and computers have made a nearly fail safe process
What does this have to do with the 08-16-23 Uinta Mountain's multiple individuals reporting seeing the same thing after 10 PM, except of heading from Florida to Utah, the disappearing blocks of sparkling lights were heading from the Uinta Mountain Range to Florida, with disappearing into the night's sky on the southern edge of the Uinta's, and at high altitude lasting five seconds ?
Good work Jessie - I think you are one of the few people to understand that the clouds are actually the moist air condensing when it comes into contact with the very cold surface of the LOX tank - not actually oxygen itself.
Another SpaceX excellent Launch and recovery.. Those Landings are a joy to see... When they say the booster will be landing on the "Drone Ship"... Does that mean there are no humans on board ? If so how do they lock down the booster for transport ?
There are no humans aboard the drone ship during landing. There is a device called the “Octagrabber” that is remotely driven under the booster and latches onto to it to secure it for transport.
I was going to move where they only had Hughs Net and Starlink and I didn't end up having to but its nice to know Starlink you can do far more stuff on it and much lower ping. I tried every single hotspot out there at the time Sprint T Mobile ATT Verizon and none would pick up for 15+ miles even being taped to a 30ft+ pole. Sadly for so long Rural areas have not been able to play online games and do many things and very low data caps at like 50GB a month. Too many people I met assumed people in the country must be rich and have to have good internet but that's not really the case.

16:48 watching the booster land on a dot at sea is still like I'm seeing the most magic trick ever.
Yup
Yup landed on "just read the instructions"! #yolo

Thank you so much for hosting @Jessie Anderson. You are one of the few hosts that I can actually listen to.
Jessie is the best of a very good crew. Jessie is my favorite host. John and Jessie on the same launch is next level :)
She’s my Fav. ❤❤❤
She’s great!
Too bad Jessie probably forgot to do makeup for the early hour launch, not even a single video of her today, she is a great host but indeed pretty too!
She’s the best.
Congratulations to the SpaceX Team on their Precise work!
I watch every one of these launches with my young son who is as excited as I was watching the Space Shuttle launches in the 80s and 90s!
The second stage cameras are incredible
Yep, but you can really tell the difference between the old cams and the new HD ones in a daytime launch.
@@clevergirl4457yeah they’re amazing
For me this was the major soft land of the boster😮😮 , ,,regards from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹, and Congratulations to all space X team
Never gets old! Congratulations SpaceX!
These launches never get old just awesome as always.
Never get old. x marks the spot. Fantastic 😊
Been watching these for years and they never get old!! Great job SpaceX and great job there Jessie!!
I never get tired of watching SpaceX launches 🚀

I agree. I need more "I Love It" thumbs-up buttons to express what an awesome work SpaceX does.
Another professional launch from SpaceX. Congratulations.
I can't miss any of these - they are almost all the same, but spectacular every time. Can't wait to see Starship every week!
Donate for a Dream
Over 20% of all SpaceX Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches have occurred in 2023!
Crazy launch cadence they got there.
@@clevergirl4457 China is also getting good at lifting their rockets from the launch pad ...
But their payload mass is way less than SpaceX
This launch rate is rad to believe sometimes. Imagine if two or additional companies reached nearly this cadence.

Like clockwork. Bravo SpaceX! It never gets old/
Thank you Spacex for bringing this to us, I hope I am alive to see starlink take off for Mars, I'm in my 60's.
That landing was noticeably smooth.
Congratulations yet again SpaceX!
Go spaceX and thank you for the coverage !
Would love to see all the way to deployment!
beautiful launch, first I've ever seen in person while visiting Orlando
And probably not your last !
Amazing! that booster landing back to earth, every time it amazes me...
Thanks! New Starlink router install today, all SpaceX all the time around here (except for the Model Y)
Perfect drone ship camera, awesome

It may be boring for you SpaceX engineers to do these broadcasts but I think we all appreciate your efforts. I know I do. Cheers from Canada.
Another awesome execution of rocket science. Keep them flying.🚀🚀🚀👍
Beautiful as usual. I wouldn't want to be ULA at this point.
17:00 Those landings.....∞
Just watched this live amazing !
We happened to look up tonight and see a string of Starlink, still close together fly thru the sky.
Jessie Anderson is definitely the best SpaceX announcer!
Jessie and John insprucker are the best commentators. Hopefully I’ll see them on Starship OFT 2
Beautiful landing 👌
お疲れさまです😊いつもありがとうございます🙏🌈🌏️👫💫🌸🍀💞🌿
Amazing as always.
Jessie is back! ❤❤❤
Fantastique! Bravo !
Good job Spacex 👍🙌🔥
Never ceases to amaze me!!!
You are amazing . Congratulations.
Thank-you, SpaceX. Onwards and upwards!
I've watched this launch from a about 10 Miles distance. Very impressive. Sound was about half a minute later. House and windows were shaking.
Thank you
"Stage One landing confirmed." Taa daaaaa!
One of my favourite commentators
itll be so nice when launches are so routine they no longer deserve the 'waiting with baited breath' viewing. could you imagine having every flight from every airport giving its own vid stream for people to watch?
We keep missing these launches! Is there a schedule for these ? We’re not that far away love to see it in the sky!
Always awesome 😊
I would love to see a booster view on re-entry looking UP at the steering gridfins, in IR. Wouldn't that heat pattern look awsome??
Awesome love it
Amazing stuff. . . especially when one realizes that this Booster Apogeed at about 115 km, while the previous (Vandenburg) Booster reached over 175 km. . .
Math, baby. Math!
I Subscribed to your Channel
beautiful
Great job!
One of these days we'll all see the same Falcon 9 going up 3 times a day. (more fuel to return to land)

Well, you gotta remember the booster doesn't 'see' like we do. Day or night is no different to it.
Nice job SpaceX!
I was wondering what that loud rumbling was
Go uncle El.😊
Damn! These cameras on 2nd stages 😳
Congratulations to the great SpaceX.
Sounds like you have a cold, hope you feel better.
Can wait for crew 7 (I’ll be at Kennedy on that day
What does this have to do with the 08-16-23 Uinta Mountain's multiple individuals reporting seeing the same thing after 10 PM, except of heading from Florida to Utah, the disappearing blocks of sparkling lights were heading from the Uinta Mountain Range to Florida, with disappearing into the night's sky on the southern edge of the Uinta's, and at high altitude lasting five seconds ?
Starlink group 6-9 launched on B1069 is wild
Let's go SpaceX!!
Love watching the booster slap down. Any way you could tip the camera up so wee can see more of it coming down?
Good work Jessie - I think you are one of the few people to understand that the clouds are actually the moist air condensing when it comes into contact with the very cold surface of the LOX tank - not actually oxygen itself.
Awesome ❤😂
The 22 satellites went over our house tonight. We got to witness this!
Beautiful❤
Hope Booster and Starship are more accurate as we don’t went them to scrape the tower whilst being captured
The hope for them is that they will be able to come to a hover. No suicide burns.
Can you please have Jessie host ALL launches from SpaceX 🙏
previous starlink missions for this booster: 7/24/22, 8/28/22, 2/2/23, 5/4/23

please start showing the deployments again. I feel left-out of the whole reason for the rocket launch.
was that the softest landing like... eva!
Please name a landing platform "to the moon, Alice"
I like the voice
No other company can match SpaceX's track record.
Wonder if F9 will surpass the 1900+ launches of soyuz rockets. Maybe starship will take over and make F9 redundant before that can happen.
You know my math separates the difference of hot and cold like I consider cold and establishment of heat
Great!!!👍💪💪💪💪
Beautiful!
Yea, space.
