Better treatments would be great. I’d also like robots just like from Detroit:Become Human but robots that are kind, compassionate and have empathy:)😊
Do you remember those days when people in the airplane celebrated a landing? Imagine one day this will be the norm and someone inside that rocket would be like "no wifi during a landing? What a shitty spaceline."
Yeah, nahh.... They've been practicing and perfecting precision landings with every Falcon 9. Thats where the real development was done. IFT 4 proved they could, IFT 5 just showed it for real.
@@quilpol2415 basically, the launched the rocket rocket from the tower, and made it land back *on* the tower with absulte precision and perfection. Retrieval of space debris became obsolete thanks to this, as well as being less dangerous. It also saves up an insane ammount of money thanks to reusing the same booster.

Being born in the late 50's, watching all of Mercury and Apollo missions on TV, never in my life did I expect to see a returning ship let alone a returning booster. Absolutely incredible!! I'm amazed.
@@candybar121 typos and errant spell checks do not mean a person can't spell but, hey, thanks for tipping ur hat to the fact musk is very smart tho u bashed musk re his political preference when this article was about his space endeavors
@@kingakhenaton5111 that's true the shuttle was before it's time just like the Apollo missions and the Venus lander and Voyager. But what I sore yesterday was another first for space travel. Maybe instead of taking a few men to the moon we will be able to take habitats. I for one thought it near impossible for Space X to pull this off. I'm sure that's what people thought when they landed on the moon. Sure the mission was flawed yesterday in many ways but the progress is amazing. The real challenge ahead for Space X is return the starship after reentry no doubt that will be even more impressive. Personally I don't know if Starship is a viable long term solution but it really is sci fi if you ask me.
I'm a engineer, and people here cannot even realise even minimally how much technology is evolved here, we are speaking about cm not even meters, this is mind blowing for me to think at all phisichal laws, pressure, power, that was something wow, think about what we invented since we discovered electricity, is incredible
To be fair, the dude who pointed out its accuracy probably meant half a meter, but that is still insanely impressive! Falcon 9 cant even land on the center of the droneship most of the time.
@@SaltyGT well even if is half a meter I think that is still incredibly difficult no? before electricity we didn't invented nothing all was invented before we just added, animal power, mechanical or steam power but with electricity all changed
@@kingakhenaton5111 you see, I bet you're not an engineer to understand this, the main difference is that the process is more simple, and faster, the only downfall is the fact that still needs some fuel to park there meanwhile the space ship uses only gravitational weight and lands like a plane
@@kingakhenaton5111 this is better, space shuttle was dangerous, intended to be experimental, and had a long turn around time. This is safe, being worked on, and quick to reuse
@@candybar121 I know, I know. But do we really blame all SpaceX engineers and other staff for that on the day they produced something useful for humanity?

Apparently protecting the freedom of speech is considered a threat to democracy even though it’s the foundation of democracy. Liberals are the Nazis (National Socialist Workers Party) they accuse everyone who disagrees with them of.
I'm an engineer and that's one of the greatest feats of engineering I've ever seen, quite remarkable. What a huge collaborative effort by all, from senior management right down to the technicians and all in between. well done!
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 and I remember, as a kid living in Lompoc California, watching experimental Atlas rockets being launched from Vandenberg AFB and exploding... one day, one blew up just off the launch pad and I was 11 miles away and we had debris landing all around our neighborhood...
Yet there are still people saying this is all a hoax and cgi.. or at least the onboard video footage is fake. So basically two incredible things are happening at the same time: 1) there are people so smart they can actually do stuff like this and 2) there are also people so stupid they think this is all fake and the earth is flat. Its fascinating how intelligence can vary so much within one species🤔
When it first activates it's inner engines it's travelling at 1273 km/h, about 7.75 seconds later it's travelling 250 km/h on 3 engines, so the average acceleration was about -3.75 g, so for almost 8 seconds it weighed about 937 tons even though it's probably more since it burned a lot of fuel decelerating
@Unknown-sz8kg I'm fine with some tax dollars going to actual important work. Funding by no means equals success. I get the point but most tax dollars are wasted this isnt a waste.
@@motionsicktotally 100% wrong that most tax dollars are wasted. Military tax dollars? Wasted? Medical care tax dollars wasted? Research and development (think internet) tax dollars wasted? Highways and bridges tax dollars wasted? You’ve been brainwashed. SOME tax dollars are wasted. The vast majority are spent on completely worthwhile investments.
I am so surprised by my reaction of this. This made me so amazed that I started crying! This is without a doubt the coolest and most insane thing I have ever seen! I guess this is what people back in the 60’s felt when they landed on the moon. I am so glad to be alive to witness this!
@@NewDecrypter66 Yes, agree, but I'm suggesting its not looking good from where I'm standing is all, the starship will use same tech regardless, that too is supposed to land in the sea...to me It looks unstable, cumbersome and prone to accident and failure.. Keeping things simple always wins...
lmfao in 1-2 years UFO tech is gonna be revealed by the USA these boosters will never operate to serve the human race soon kinda a sad story tbf and it doesnt change elons accomplishments in the slightest but its a damn shame
The complexity of this maneuver is incredible. The sheer number of things that could go wrong, variables, teams of folks who had to all work on their part of the project in perfect unison. I can't even. This is a milestone for humanity and a day to be proud of your fellow Americans for such a ridiculously amazing accomplishment.
@@Larvanto53 Are there any studies about whether playing a lot of video games makes engineers better at advanced mathematics than spending that time studying advanced mathematics?
My rockets used to be the same when I was a little one drawing them, and flying all around, each planet was my friend's house in my mind and I am proud to observe the dreams of a man coming to а live and the most important is that he shares them with all of us. Respect!
I am happy you are such an optimist. My 62yr old friend passed away today just 2 months after being diagnosed stage 4 (cancer that is, not rocketry speak). He was from the poorer side of society though and despite efforts to get doctors to recognise his health issues worked all his life up until the diagnosis without any real help. As long as Elon and his mates can escape to mars though hooray. Pointless comment as I am sure the American ideal of free speech won't extend to this truth.

I was honestly half not surprised, half excited. I had an optimistic feeling the booster would nail the catch on the first go. And it did. A huge congratulations to the SpaceX team.
So exciting to see the progress made iteration after iteration. The video and connectivity throughout the reentry is equally amazing. And the booster was caught! This is inspiring!
A science fiction story from the Urania series told over 50 years ago what the heroes of the SpaceX team have achieved. I am grateful to you on behalf of all those of all ages who love space❤
@@stellviahohenheim Sad but true. Like I said to a friend just a couple of hours ago, even if we make it to Mars and settle it, it will just be more of the same, only with a smaller-looking sun. You can remove the human from the planet, but you can't remove human nature from the human.

I cannot help but cry watching this. I remember watching the final shuttle take off, and it has taken until now for something space related to make me feel this way again. What an incredible moment.
@@okirooju3787 I do... but there is only so many times you can keep claiming testing, testing, testing Houston!! Just like a concept car, they very rarely come to market? I have no doubt the rocket systems will work, I've got a little drone, it works great... until you attach a nuke to the bottom of the dam thing!! Know what I mean.... lol, for cargo missions tho... now that's realistic, but seriously, forget humans...
All 33 Raptor engines lit, flawless stage separation, booster caught by Mechazilla's chopsticks, Starship splashes down precisely where the camera buoys are located, SpaceX ends the stream with an animated Mechazilla moonwalking across the SpaceX logo. Perfection! 😙👌
National companies are not driven by profit, so there's little incentive to be efficient and have any drive in that regards. Hence why you need private companies to get anywhere these days. And yet, the socialists want to stifle innovation by taxing these companies to death. A company that LITERALLY enables us to get off this planet at some point.
That is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. Congratulations to the whole SpaceX team.
The ONLY issue I saw with it is that there were some flames licking at the bottom of the returned booster. I don't know if SpaceX needs to install a water system on the pad tower to extinguish that stuff or if it's okay, but otherwise an absolutely INSANE achievement...on the FIRST TRY no less!

What's the name of your caoch because I need a good realiable trader to help over come this loses. I run at $10,000 loses weekly with wrong signals
Being born in the late 50's, watching all of Mercury and Apollo missions on TV, never in my life did I expect to see a returning ship let alone a returning booster. Absolutely incredible!! I'm amazed.
@candybar121 He is much smarter than we' r so I'm sure he sees hyperbole when he hearw it . They sky is falling
We need to all ignore this hyperbolic media
@candybar121 you literally made this reply on most of the comments on this video. Go away bot!
@@candybar121 u don't know the word hyperbole.. apparently . I spelled it perfectly
@@candybar121 typos and errant spell checks do not mean a person can't spell but, hey, thanks for tipping ur hat to the fact musk is very smart tho u bashed musk re his political preference when this article was about his space endeavors
Congratulations Space X extremely impressive stuff, it's like watching a sci fi movie. Even watching it seemed impossible.
Dude, I remember when we had a reusable space plane! Not impressed
@@kingakhenaton5111 that's true the shuttle was before it's time just like the Apollo missions and the Venus lander and Voyager. But what I sore yesterday was another first for space travel. Maybe instead of taking a few men to the moon we will be able to take habitats. I for one thought it near impossible for Space X to pull this off. I'm sure that's what people thought when they landed on the moon. Sure the mission was flawed yesterday in many ways but the progress is amazing. The real challenge ahead for Space X is return the starship after reentry no doubt that will be even more impressive. Personally I don't know if Starship is a viable long term solution but it really is sci fi if you ask me.
I'm a engineer, and people here cannot even realise even minimally how much technology is evolved here, we are speaking about cm not even meters, this is mind blowing for me to think at all phisichal laws, pressure, power, that was something wow, think about what we invented since we discovered electricity, is incredible
I remember we had a reusable space plane! I’m not impressed
To be fair, the dude who pointed out its accuracy probably meant half a meter, but that is still insanely impressive! Falcon 9 cant even land on the center of the droneship most of the time.
@@SaltyGT well even if is half a meter I think that is still incredibly difficult no? before electricity we didn't invented nothing all was invented before we just added, animal power, mechanical or steam power but with electricity all changed
@@kingakhenaton5111 you see, I bet you're not an engineer to understand this, the main difference is that the process is more simple, and faster, the only downfall is the fact that still needs some fuel to park there meanwhile the space ship uses only gravitational weight and lands like a plane
@@kingakhenaton5111 this is better, space shuttle was dangerous, intended to be experimental, and had a long turn around time. This is safe, being worked on, and quick to reuse
I watch this daily and it still amazes me
That looks so magical! Especially the chopstick catch. What a milestone in space engineering!
@@candybar121 take your fake youtube account and delete it, little predator, stop looking at children
@@candybar121 I know, I know. But do we really blame all SpaceX engineers and other staff for that on the day they produced something useful for humanity?
What an incredible thiss !! This rocket caught back at the very same launch ..this is absolutely insane!!
Love from India 🇮🇳
At home, I see numerous people unable to parallel park a car. True genius at work.
@@candybar121why choose this comment specifically to make that response in ? You already got your wish with mainstream not covering this. What more do you want ? Go vote, do your part.
@@candybar121 Kinda a useless comment
@@candybar121 bro I agree but why are you spamming like that it's cringe
Apparently protecting the freedom of speech is considered a threat to democracy even though it’s the foundation of democracy. Liberals are the Nazis (National Socialist Workers Party) they accuse everyone who disagrees with them of.
@@candybar121who needs democracy if the people is getting more dumb because of it
I'm an engineer and that's one of the greatest feats of engineering I've ever seen, quite remarkable. What a huge collaborative effort by all, from senior management right down to the technicians and all in between. well done!
Woke us up this morning and we're 50 miles away from launch pad. Beautiful.
Every single engineer worked on this needs to be recognized by name! Absolutely history stuff!
43.5 miles is how far I live from Starbase and by god, you can hear and feel this rocket take flight.
I live 17 miles away. I have some sick pictures of the rockets they've launched taken from my backyard
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 and I remember, as a kid living in Lompoc California, watching experimental Atlas rockets being launched from Vandenberg AFB and exploding... one day, one blew up just off the launch pad and I was 11 miles away and we had debris landing all around our neighborhood...
Yet there are still people saying this is all a hoax and cgi.. or at least the onboard video footage is fake. So basically two incredible things are happening at the same time: 1) there are people so smart they can actually do stuff like this and 2) there are also people so stupid they think this is all fake and the earth is flat. Its fascinating how intelligence can vary so much within one species🤔
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 is that close enough to hear anything at all?
@@Larvanto53 They are the people we should send to mars first
When it first activates it's inner engines it's travelling at 1273 km/h, about 7.75 seconds later it's travelling 250 km/h on 3 engines, so the average acceleration was about -3.75 g, so for almost 8 seconds it weighed about 937 tons even though it's probably more since it burned a lot of fuel decelerating
It's like when Superman catches a plane nose first :D
We can do anything when we work together. This is absolutely amazing.
When you have unlimited tax money*
@Unknown-sz8kg I'm fine with some tax dollars going to actual important work. Funding by no means equals success. I get the point but most tax dollars are wasted this isnt a waste.
@@Unknown-sz8kgSpaceX is a private company, they are not funded by the government.
But we can’t until Trump is elected again because all of America is a shit hole “like Detroit” with anyone else but him as president.
@@motionsicktotally 100% wrong that most tax dollars are wasted. Military tax dollars? Wasted? Medical care tax dollars wasted? Research and development (think internet) tax dollars wasted? Highways and bridges tax dollars wasted? You’ve been brainwashed. SOME tax dollars are wasted. The vast majority are spent on completely worthwhile investments.
I am so surprised by my reaction of this. This made me so amazed that I started crying! This is without a doubt the coolest and most insane thing I have ever seen! I guess this is what people back in the 60’s felt when they landed on the moon. I am so glad to be alive to witness this!
That's a pretty normal reaction for a sane human watching this, tbh.
Just made it back to Houston from Boca Chica, it was jaw dropping to watch it live! Congratulations Space X !
You are so lucky!
Congratulations to all the team involved. Thank you for everything you’re doing and all the hard work you’ve put into it. God bless you all 🇬🇧
Best part when watching SpaceX milestones are when the engineers cheering like they saw a last minute winning goal at the FIFA World Cup.
This was incredible and will become the norm in a decades time. Well done Space X
Disagree.. Its concept art in motion... great for cargo, forget humans...
@rfxtuber tell your story walking dude
@@NewDecrypter66 Yes, agree, but I'm suggesting its not looking good from where I'm standing is all, the starship will use same tech regardless, that too is supposed to land in the sea...to me It looks unstable, cumbersome and prone to accident and failure.. Keeping things simple always wins...
lmfao in 1-2 years UFO tech is gonna be revealed by the USA
these boosters will never operate to serve the human race soon
kinda a sad story tbf and it doesnt change elons accomplishments in the slightest but its a damn shame
British chap here - well done (Space X) everyone involved, absolutely stunning, now't more to say.
Unforgettable. I can watch it so many times and still be amazed and so happy for the team. Brilliant!
The complexity of this maneuver is incredible. The sheer number of things that could go wrong, variables, teams of folks who had to all work on their part of the project in perfect unison. I can't even. This is a milestone for humanity and a day to be proud of your fellow Americans for such a ridiculously amazing accomplishment.
Coolest thing ive ever watched!
This is incredible, it’s not a movie, it’s not a game, it’s not a CG, it is real !!!
Somewhere at SpaceX, someone's mother is regretting ever telling her child to put down those video games.
@@GreatMewtwoYou are superstitious. Video games are a waste of time.
@@Makes_me_wonderThere is nothing wrong with recreational activities. Doing things for your own enjoyment is a necessary part of life.
@@Makes_me_wonder studies have shown that surgeons who used to play a lot of video games have better spatial visualization ability than non players.
@@Larvanto53 Are there any studies about whether playing a lot of video games makes engineers better at advanced mathematics than spending that time studying advanced mathematics?
That was insane! Thank you SpaceX, you are all amazing.
My rockets used to be the same when I was a little one drawing them, and flying all around, each planet was my friend's house in my mind and I am proud to observe the dreams of a man coming to а live and the most important is that he shares them with all of us. Respect!
Congratulations from Sweden. Bravo SpaceX.
Amazing work 😎👍
75 years old. So glad I made it to this point. I saw humankind land on the moon, now this, and in a few years...MARS!
I am happy you are such an optimist.
My 62yr old friend passed away today just 2 months after being diagnosed stage 4 (cancer that is, not rocketry speak).
He was from the poorer side of society though and despite efforts to get doctors to recognise his health issues worked all his life up until the diagnosis without any real help.
As long as Elon and his mates can escape to mars though hooray.
Pointless comment as I am sure the American ideal of free speech won't extend to this truth.
this is species survial stuff. Im sorry for your friend but think bigger.
lol all fake and you’ve been fooled 😂
@@LouSassoleSledgecock_III What proof do you have?
@@edkalski2312Are you serious, these people have memes, what more solid, irrefutable proof do you need?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watching it for about the 20th time, still have tears in my eyes.
Watching from New Zealand - amazing stuff!
Huge congrats to all of the SpaceX team and everyone involved in this successful mission!
Onwards and upwards to the MOON!
Я из России поздравляю вас с успешным запуском.Я вами горжусь.👍
That is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen in my life...congrats to space x team...what a leap in human history..i am so grateful to be alive in this time and age to be able to witness this.
WOW! That was AMAZING! 😱 I was a kid when NASA used to televise their launches, especially the Space Shuttles. This brought me back to childhood! 🥺
Absolute incredible that something like this is possible 🤩🤩🚀🚀🚀
I agree. That's a great achievement. Congratulations to the entire team at SpaceX.
That was ART. Sheer beauty in the capacity of human engineering.
The precision is absolutely nuts🎉
They've been practicing A LOT with Falcon 9
Left or right, you don’t have to be on either side, to love seeing human achievement.
I was honestly half not surprised, half excited. I had an optimistic feeling the booster would nail the catch on the first go. And it did. A huge congratulations to the SpaceX team.
So exciting to see the progress made iteration after iteration. The video and connectivity throughout the reentry is equally amazing. And the booster was caught! This is inspiring!
There are very few moments in life that keep you utterly speechless…. This was one of those for me.
I cried when the booster successfully landed. 🥰😍🤩
Really?
Me too.
What an experience this was. Truly a historical day
this is a case of persist and you will succeed... from where they were years ago to where they are now is absolutely incredible. Congrats to SpaceX !!
My mind will forever be blown by this feat of engineering
Unbelievable.....this Starship program is turning out to be one major success. A Masterpiece of engineering.
A science fiction story from the Urania series told over 50 years ago what the heroes of the SpaceX team have achieved. I am grateful to you on behalf of all those of all ages who love space❤
Just imagine, if all peoples worked together, toward a single goal, what humankind could achieve.
There will always be that kind of person who never want to advance more over they tried their hardest to make sure other people fail.
@@stellviahohenheim Sad but true.
Like I said to a friend just a couple of hours ago, even if we make it to Mars and settle it, it will just be more of the same, only with a smaller-looking sun.
You can remove the human from the planet, but you can't remove human nature from the human.
If all of us are like this, humanity is so far far ahead by now. That would be so so epic!
this launch was exactly 5 years to the day i buried my dad he would of been so amazed to see this amazing feat of enginering .............miss you dad ;-(
mindblowing: those arms are strong enough for the bottom of the booster to swing towards the tower!? holy sheet!
We should a species be solely focused on projects such as this.
This is the maddest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Nah people care more about their new shoes
From Sicily, it's unbelievable to see a 71 m rocket reaching the same launch point from n-km in 7 minutes...wow
I cannot help but cry watching this. I remember watching the final shuttle take off, and it has taken until now for something space related to make me feel this way again. What an incredible moment.
In Uganda, Africa this just blew my mind. My grand mother is fighting for her with cancer i needed this.
Thank you SpaceX
Faith and strength and may there be healing to your grandmother and you too.
May God give your Grandmother comfort and peace.
@abnnab1648 send me your paypal if you have one. I wanna send you something.
That's absolutely INSANE!!!! WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?????
Visions of when people will be on a unstable rocket system that will end in tears?
Guess we’ve found the Chinese bots 😂. Cry some more 😭
@@TravisGunderson-ge9nh muhahahaha.. Chinese or not.... That thing looks unstable and prone to serious error!!!!
@@rfxtuberyou're expecting stability and perfection for something undergoing developmental testing? Do you even know the point of these tests?
@@okirooju3787 I do... but there is only so many times you can keep claiming testing, testing, testing Houston!! Just like a concept car, they very rarely come to market? I have no doubt the rocket systems will work, I've got a little drone, it works great... until you attach a nuke to the bottom of the dam thing!! Know what I mean.... lol, for cargo missions tho... now that's realistic, but seriously, forget humans...
Oh my! I have never gotten so emotional and giddy over a rocket launch. Great job space x!
I'm mind-blown, this is surreal.
I am lost for words , history being made, WELL DONE SpaceX.
Get well soon
All 33 Raptor engines lit, flawless stage separation, booster caught by Mechazilla's chopsticks, Starship splashes down precisely where the camera buoys are located, SpaceX ends the stream with an animated Mechazilla moonwalking across the SpaceX logo. Perfection! 😙👌
Congratulations to all the SpaceX engineers and staff. YOU guys made this possible. Something to be proud of.
This made me cry, like the Apollo 8 Christmas reading
caught some tears listening to crowd's hollers and screams as starship's boosters burned into the cradle.
It’s canned holler and screams FFS GROW UP!!!!!
@@kayenne221 True.. but PR systems into overdrive... who cares that it will be 40 years before anything happens with space travel, if ever!!!!
Tears over such a thing is absolutely ridiculous
How is it ever possible that these guys are better than NASA?!?
Not captured by bureaucracy and political machinations.
bcs DEI
National companies are not driven by profit, so there's little incentive to be efficient and have any drive in that regards. Hence why you need private companies to get anywhere these days. And yet, the socialists want to stifle innovation by taxing these companies to death. A company that LITERALLY enables us to get off this planet at some point.
Rapid Iteration + No DEI hires

I have watched this now for the 50th time. I am an 80s kid. This is so exciting as Columbia was.
That was simply amazing!. The future of space travel has been made!. This is not a movie, but a fact!. Congratulations SpaceX!.
