- That moment when it all pays off!
Falcon Heavy test flight, with live reactions from SpaceX Mission Control. These people are proud of their achievement, and rightfully so!
The two falcons landing at the same time is the coolest fucking thing i've ever seen.
It was unreal. Like a ballet
It looks like it was taken from a sci-fi movie.
Can someone explain to me what was landed? And what falcon is?
@@Mr.2GD Falcon Heavy is the name of the rocket. SpaceX's main innovation is reusable rockets. Previously, to launch a satellite you would use a rocket that would be destroyed in the process. This made Space operations prohibitively expensive. Imagine if one would have to destroy a plane each time you fly from one country to another. A plane ticket would be so expensive that nobody would be able to afford it! Well, that was the case with the space industry until SpaceX.
SpaceX designed rockets which can deliver a payload (satelite, people, etc.) somewhere and return back and land on a planet to be reused again.
This video was a test of the Falcon Heavy, which is a rocket vehicle that can lift twice the weight that its competitors can! The Tesla car was used as a random payload (to have weight for the rocket to deliver to test it), because this was just a test launch.
Falcon Heavy consists of 3 booster rockets, which is the reusable expensive part. They delivered the car into space and returned back. Two boosters landed in one place at the same time. The third booster landed in another place (but exploded because it didn't have enough fuel).
The reason to construct a larger space vehicle out of smaller boosters is to ease design and manufacturing. If you use 3 boosters instead of designing some new superheavy rocket booster, then you reduce the cost of design and manufacturing, because you just have to perfect that one booster design and can make several space vehicles out of them.
If something goes wrong with one booster (like in this case where the 3rd booster exploded because they underestimated the amount of fuel it needed) you can just correct the issue and all space vehicles would benefit from that correction / design improvement because they all use same boosters.
This is one of the ways SpaceX will reduce costs of space travel. Not only boosters are reusable, but also those boosters can be used in many different space vehicles. So same innovations which improve satellite delivery or astronaut delivery can eventually be used to travel to Mars or even super fast Earth travel (like 30 min flight time to any location on Earth).
Mr. 2GD simply put; the two side boosters that helped the center core and payload get to space landed back on earth upright after their task was complete. Falcon is the name of the series of rockets. the rocket at hand is called Falcon Heavy which is essentially three Falcon 9 rockets strapped together. here’s a video to the original launch: ua-cam.com/video/wbSwFU6tY1c/v-deo.html
I was in this room,it was something that Im never going to forget,thats for sure.
Do you work at SpaceX? Must have been amazing to be there! I watched live from Europe, and keep coming back to this launch whenever I need some extra motivation for my own work :)
@@partyboeller Hi,yes(thats my scrawny butt in black above the phone in the picture),I had a lot to monitor whilst this was in progress(so I looked very serious to start with),but Its so hard to hold the emotions in. If you would like a 4K copy of this(sound is WAY better),let me know.
@@paulgarrett9322 I would like it
As you can tell, my video editing skills are not at a pro level :) But yes, I would still like to see it in better quality! In the meantime, keep up the great work. Good luck with Crew Dragon, FH Arabsat and Starship, we are all rooting for SpaceX in 2019!@@paulgarrett9322
@@partyboeller You did just fine :).It feels very strange to me to watch this - I wish I could explain it,but its so surreal to see this on the tube,lol. Thank you so much,it means the world to me.
More impressive than the launch is how close you got the sync between the videos manually
yeah, pressing *Play* is hard as shute right?
@@crateer It's probably easier than understanding jokes is for you.
KiemPlant lol gg bro
KiemPlant he made a really good joke...
@@KiemPlant and you don't get sarcasm, nor do you get that his comment was not meant as a joke, salty shit
4:40 That high five is just awesome
he's doing it for the pussy
Yep, pussy and views.
8:50 too
"We lost the center core" so close to a perfect first launch, but still an amazing job!
2 out of 3 ain't bad.
@@DieyoungDiefast 3 out of 3 this time baby!!
holy crap 193 likes???
this mission was deemed success so, meh.
The center core was not going to be reused, so landing it would have been a bonus. So far the Block 5 has a nearly perfect landing record.
as a 7 yr old in 1969 I saw the landing on the moon. We watched it in the school hall on a small black and white television
Now I didn't know anything about SpaceX but when I saw this footage - the rocket taking off, the Tesla with Starman being released I was amazed.
I literally screamed when I saw the BOOSTERS LANDING BACK ON EARTH !!! because only just before I saw it, I knew that rocket boosters were lost forever. Now they are landing back on earth. Holy SH*T. I had no idea that this could be done now. How naive I am..
I apologised to my sons for scaring them because I screamed so loud (with a few swear words thrown in) lol
Amazing stuff.
Here's a link to the HD video of that dual landing ... it's so beautiful, like something out of Star Trek!
ua-cam.com/video/u0-pfzKbh2k/v-deo.html
No ones been to the moon, thats why these companys can only send rockets into space not the moon its like there all starting from crawling again, yet they so called did it in 1969? Really
@@xhiltonx you want to know why we haven't been back? It wouldn't make a profit. SpaceX is a launch provider, and if a space agency would be willing to lose money to go back to the moon that's their choice.
@@salade2760 i dont believe that, just think how many people would want us to go back and support it. Billions of us
@@xhiltonx I dont think you understand just how expensive putting a man on the moon really is.
When nerds are happy the world improves
Bruh
Not nerds. Just people who have a higher brain capacity than your mere 12 brain cells

@@harryferrett9420
Well, if you invent something revolutionary you will be called smart, or as the "cool kids" say, N E R D
@@dotdankory dammit society
Damn. This video made me happy!
It's so nice to see people so interested in space flight again!
totally agree me too
A Majority Of The People Really Don't Care.
@@PONTIANGOD And that's sad.
This is awesome. I got goosebumps right when the count down started. 👍🏼 🚀 🚀
Hey bro you got 999 likes until now, and it makes me uncomfortable. So let's reach 1k
0:07 sounds like he said SpaceX F*****g heavy
Falcon*
well they had a rocket called "big fucking rocket" after all
I can't unhear it
I mean, if ever there was a time to sneak it in there and get away with it, it's then lmao
like it :D
I love how inside the room they’re all relatively serious, working, monitoring stuff & just outside the glass there’s a massive raging hype party.
I cried like a little b!tch!
no shame in saying cried like a man
It’s already quite a time passed since the launch. But every time when I see this, it still touching my heart. When all other people think it’s just a dream, but they make it happened. This is happening in real world but it’s more exciting than movie.
@@tianzining You and me both. Watching such an achievement. It feels good to be alive!
Gayyyyy
damnnn 😳
Here after a succesful triple landing in 2019!
U
I wish I had known before so I could have seen the launch live.
One crashed
Peter ohne Nachname nope, at arabsat 6a all of them landed
Here now C:
"The Falcons have landed" It sounds so epic when they say that.
My dumbass thought they were forgetting social distancing, then I realized that this is an older video 😂
I-
Never thought I'd be happy crying over a landing rocket, but goddamn this makes me sooo happy, this is the essence of humanity, team work, innovation, spending countless hours of blood, sweat and tears into these type of things. When all of those people started jumping and screaming I just lost it, if only all of the humanity would focus on things like this, not war, not terrorism... Much love and respect to everyone at SpaceX.
How do I STILL get chills each time I watch FH videos?? Thank you to everyone at SpaceX!
same, still getting goosebumps watching this
😂
That's some impressive cable management
Exactly, what cables lmao
Cables? I don't see any cables here
"Here at SpaceX, even our monitors are wireless!"
@@kutsuro3901 the wires are under the desks bud, you see those metal tubes on the left side?
@@ronharris91 It's a joke.
This is the real reaction of the team who made it happen....respect for ever!
The cherry red Tesla cruising through space at 4:25 and the side booster landings at 8:35 have got to be one of the most iconic moments of the decade!
Mark J He’s the top comment if you want to hear from him
If you told someone 20 years ago a car would be launched into space. They'd have laughed till they died.
“The Falcons have landed” will live in history forever
It must be so rewarding to be on the SpaceX team and know that you were a part of making this happen.
When you spend years designing, testing and building something...Then finally see your baby fly.....you will know why these people are cheering. Although you always understand that this huge thing you are working on is supposed to go up to orbit, it really doesn't really have a solid meaning until you see that huge monster catch fire and ascend up into the sky. After the cheering and tears are over, there is a sense of loss. A part of you is gone, never to be seen again. But now, it comes back home. Perfection.
(I worked on a small part of the old Apollo program. It was real.)
That has to be one of the longest sustained standing ovations I've ever seen. And why not? SpaceX is awesome. 🌟🚀 🎇🎆
This made me cry, wtf
Don't worry, you are not the only one :)
Dude same
I'm an emotionless killer so I didn't. My eyes started to get wet but that's unrelated.
Same
I couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably with joy while watching this. Hearing the female announcer do that little laugh was so nice to hear. You can tell she loves her job as her inner child comes out.
SpaceX only employs people who absolutely love and are devoted to their job. That's the only way you survive there. It is an, shall we say, intense place to work. But for those who love what they do, it is the chance of a life time. To rapidly iterate and design brand new things and actually see them fly rather than live on paper only. That is the joy of people that only comes after a lot of blood, sweat, and tears
The guy with the black sweater on the left is so focused, him seeing the car and his relief and joy is so cool to watch, so young and talented
8:30 just imagine the reaction and thoughts of the person or the team or people that made the code and engineer this to be possible, i have no idea why i am crying mate, we as humans when we come together as one in peace and with a common goal we can achieve anything and everything
A massive group of people all being happy at once is a true treasure.
I was riding my bike in Florida not knowing about the falcon heavy next thing you know theirs a fricking rocket taking off
i really hope those windows are soundproof, I'd go nuts from all the people cheering and clapping.
Haha, I'd love to have a crowd like this cheering me on every time I do something good 😂🔝
I agree, too loud and disturbing to focus on important flight details.
It kind of reminds me of an audience at an American sitcom...
Hinn Ong sooo a bunch of white people?
Lol we can hear them cheering so its not really soundproof.
These are real reactions, from real people who have put countless hours, days, weeks and some even years into that rocket. The Falcon Heavy is the beginning of a new age of exploration and technology and humanity as a race. Now lets go colonies some planets and wipe out the lesser developed natives YYYEEEEHHAAWWW
LETS GIVE EM SOME FREEDOM BROTHER YEHAW
Humans are a species --- of which sub-races exist within.
It's the reactions of the Blonde center front row that got me.
@@DieyoungDiefast pretty sure that thats gwynne shotwell who is a really interesting character
@@-scrim learn something new everyday. Thanks man
Don’t know why but this makes me cry! Amazing achievement
Who else here after Crew Dragon launch??
ben yessss
Yup
No I'm here before the crew dragon launch
Who the fuck isn’t here after the lauch?
me
My final exam started a week ago and i came back to this video whenever i struggle with my simple statistics and linear algebra. This video is 2 years old but still motivates me. Thanks dude for the awesome video.
Wow that heart was so quick bro hh
Really sad to see the lunch of spacex without all these people due to covid_19 ...
wow this video hits me every single time
Yea?
I get tears in my eyes every time I see this. I love to see and hear the enthusiasm that these folks have when it comes to seeing all their time and effort come to fruition. It’s inspiring.
I feel inspired. I want to be a part of this.
I can imagine when these guys getting old, they shall have proud stories to tell to their grandchildren. Unbelievable Elon, leading an unbelievable team!
Lol at 8:46 that guy in the purple shirt's armpit sweat mark shows his stress level is higher than the arms he raised
That’s just standard sweat marks mste
Bruh
It's blue though...
just a random user nothing will ever come to explain the amount of cringe and how much I would like to facepalm myself into the next realm because of your comment
This will never get old. Its this generations moon landing
No, Starship landing after Superheavy will be that moment, because after that it's "Bang! Zoom! Straight to the Moon!"
So perfect to see it entirely from the Mission Control viewpoint!! Have to say, it's *always fun* to watch Gwynne "lose it" with SpaceX's smashing successes.
Even my left and right airpods can't sync like these two.
Now this is a good work environment.
Imagine hundreds of cheering people while you do a desk job
I report this video as violence cuz it hits me really hard i cried.
This video hits hard because it’s history
8:34 is one of the coolest moments I’ve ever seen
Much cheaper solution than buying expensive editing software 😂😂!
There's a lot of freeware out there! But yeah, this is definitely the easiest way to do it
Vamsi Krishna I only just noticed he recording it like that
Buying? Lol you funny
@@Kanibulus filmora 😏
Gwynne was so much of a rock star in that moment that I half-expected her to stand up, throw back her hair, and start doing air guitar :-)
What a day.
What a team.
I remember watching this live! I was jumping up and down screaming with joy!
Wow! I just teared up. What an amazing achievement for our people !
Gwynne Shotwell has the best reaction by far.
Thank you for posting this video... I've seen both the launch and the control room vids but not like this....was great to see..
I love that launch so much 👍🏻
The most exciting this is that a project that you been working on for years actually work
Ya a project you just made knowing it never work but seeing it flys and works imagining that your hands touched that rocket steel just makes you proud
this makes me so emotional and happy for the future
I could only wish that I would be part of something to this magnitude the fact that these people are so passionate about what they're doing to better humanity is just astonishing to me. Keep doing you SpaceX. Civilization is counting on all of you beautiful people. I wish I found my love for space and rockets when I was in middle school and high school because I would have been right there besides you all!!
Nasa: we will take humans to the next level..
SpaceX: hold my beer :D
The girl in the front, was doing the exact same thing as today. Sitting on her phone lol
that "girl" is Gwynne Shotwell, the President and COO of SpaceX. she's on her phone because she's probably texting Elon, unlike your ass sat typing this dumb comment.
Emily someone got offended. Chill the fuck out Hahaha
@@laurah200 lol you're trying to discredit the work of a woman who has probably achieved more than you will ever. She's not even the focus of this video, and you still feel the need to mention her. Personal grudge??
Yannis Wen I never discredit her work thrive to be honest. It was just noticeable that she was on the phone .... again. For you an accomplishment is when you are on the top of the top... alright go ahead little sir, go make your millions because Apparently personal goals and accomplishment don’t matter. Goodluck on getting there pal. With that mindset you might have money but no friends. Or let’s say fake friends for the money haha
Such unity and dedication is inspiring. Thank you women and men of SpaceX! Show the world how it’s done.
One by one, the guys in the control centre started to release their emotions.
Fantastic.
Gwynne seems to enjoy the show. Holding her hands over her face when she's a bit extra nervus
I was wondering if that was her
@@Aldurnamiyanrandvora Yeah I was in the comments looking for confirmation.
To this day this vid brings a tear to my eyes
Talk about a SpaceX recruiting video! Who wouldn't want to work at a place like this? Changing the future of humanity. Look at all the energy and excitement! Wish I was there for sure.
The most beautiful video of 2018 was the twin landing. They landed so perfectly together with such great footage. Amazing job!
i love Space X and these launches
Demo-1 de-docking and later splash down...
Demo-2 launch…
NASA had according to UA-cam ~45k Viewers at the hatch opening of the Crew Dragon... how many viewers will they have with Demo-2? I for sure will be one of them...
Tell me why I literally get tears in my eyes watchin things like this, this shit is fazes me everysingle time
I LOVE THIS. It's so nice to see how the people in mission control reacted. That lady front and center just sums up how I felt. GOOD LUCK to the spacex team for the april 7th launch.
what's amazing is how you have set up the video... really smart
TOP video for the crew!
People at space x always be proud o your achievements, congrats and thanks for show us that anything is possible.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! Even after 20 times. Thanks for this creative new insight!
Really good video OP. Thanks for no edits Well done
Love focussing on Gwynne's reactions, and the legend that is John Insprucker.
true
Brings tears to my eyes... Crazy what humans can achieve by working together.
This is so emotional. Seeing people working together to achieve things
Those who watching their monitor seriously are the real engineers
Anyone here after the one that was supposed to happend today got cancelled
Restraint is a virtue!
calvito calvon English
@@hammadmubarik908 that is English.
It launched :D
Psst, i'm from the future, it was a success!
The people you see in this room are most likely some of the smartest folks on the planet. They could have chosen to work at investment banks or large hedge funds, and make hundreds of $millions. But instead they made it possible for humanity to take a giant, giant leap in space exploration. You're never going to remember their names but they are heroes.
Never let SpaceX die due to lack of funds.
I was hoping this was online somewhere! This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. I definitely teared up just as much at the mission success as the employees' reactions. SpaceX is something special.
Excitement about space travel has been missed long enough! Thank you SpaceX & Elon Musk for your hard work and tremendous contributions in making this happen.
“Holy smokes, man,” said Elon. In his mind, he was awed how Newtonian Physics really works.
This is probably my favourite UA-cam video ever, thank you !
such an honour to be part of something great.....i salute all the staff for your hard work....we will reach the stars
SpaceX and Elon made me dream of space again.. Thank you!
Let me put this in perspective for people I watched Apollo 11 land on the moon at home, and stood on the beach in Florida and watched Apollo 13 launch. No company on this planet would put that much effort and money into something fake! You can't disprove something you can actually watch
"But muh screens and cgi!!!"
On this day, my world fell apart. The sight of both boosters landing was just a beautiful sight that distracted me even for a slight second the horrible mental breakdown that was unfolding since that morning.
this ain’t about you
I love how "Life on Mars" started playing as the car attached to the rocket came into view.
Elon really believed in “if you build it, nerds will come” and built something beautiful.
just so you know, the "nerds" that you made fun of in in high school, they are probably one of those people sitting in that room now who are changing your world lol
Thank you for uploading this.
as long as I live, I will never forget "and the falcons have landed", one more step for mankind...
what about "and the Crew Dragon has docked to ISS with two NASA Astronauts for the first time in a decade", One more steps for making......
Anyone here after the successful Dragon launch 💪
Yep :D
only thing i take from this video is CABLE MANAGEMENT
I love watching these, I never cheer at sporting events or cheer during rocket launches but something about SpaceX launches make me want to scream and cheer. They are making history for humanity over there for sure
It's hard not to have an emotional reaction while watching this. Truly POWERFUL!
That cringy moment when the rocket crashes is gold
I thought that computer screen was a window 🤦
I can't imagine how it must feel to have a job like that, that makes you feel this way.
I can watch this over and over again, it doesn't get old
