Kinda annoying the newscaster keeps referring to the vehicle as an aircraft when the correct term is spacecraft. If you compare this coverage to coverage of the early space program through the end of the Apollo program, the newscasters back in the day were clearly better informed about what they were describing. I can’t imagine Walter Cronkite asking Wally Schirra to dumb down his explanation to a third grade level. It doesn’t sound to me like this studio crew did any advance preparation for the broadcast.
Is it me and my understanding of Perigee and Apogee are wrong? At 15:49 the Perigee Altitude is stated as 2996.10km…. Do they mean the down range miles? Then they list the Apogee Altitude as 156km. Is it possible these numbers are backwards?
Not true. The SRBs are retrieved in the ocean and they rebuild them, just like they did back with the STS. Even SpaceX rockets aren’t exactly “reusable”. They spend a lot of money having to “reuse” them because they have to repair and replace a lot of the rocket.
@@BradyMcG Yes. And thankfully there’s a video showing this. In UA-cam search for “Space Shuttle SRB re-entry and splashdown in the ocean after launch”
Good to clearly see and hear a NASA launch, professionally conducted by experienced qualified staff, instead of Musk under experienced Musk fanboys, who cheer, to cover up the many screwups that happen with Starship.
U know with the nasas crew project Boeing got paid so much and their 4 years behind and so over budget then u have spacex on their second soon to be newest work horse that will probably be human rated soon
Do you thinkthis Craft was built on the same assembly line as comercial Aircraft ? Non educated reporters on All Networks ,Please Stop with Inane explanations ! and Heros ? Professionals ,Yes ,Heros ? Not Yet , can We have a Professional conversation about Our Space Program ? I guess Not .
@@keithmcadams447How is NASA stuck in the ‘60s? The Space Shuttle, the ISS, rovers on Mars, probes to Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. And that’s just a small fraction of what they’ve done. NASA plans missions and pays contractors to build the hardware. If SpaceX would concentrate on what they owe NASA instead of their Mars dream, maybe we could make some real progress. Building a huge rocket with 33 thirsty engines, that can’t even stay in orbit without refueling is such a questionable design.

Agreed. Heck, even the broadcasters in the shuttle era were more informed than these people.
Hey flat earthers how do you explain this shot?

9:05 What were those pieces flying by? Insulation?
At 11:37, as the announcer is talking about Boeing's woes, some sort of a panel departs the spacecraft. The irony is terrible. What WAS that panel?!
That was the launch vehicle adapter skirt. It is supposed to fall away. All nominal function.
@@RainMan68, thanks. The timing could not have been worse!
SpaceX is still far better in so many ways.
@@Erik-oe7gcNot really. ULA’s rockets are highly reliable.
gold
Let’s hope Boeing didn’t install the door!
is the first stage reusable?
No it's a ULA launch, only spacex can do that
Nasa and Boeing are stuck in the 60’s. And using Russian parts!
Not true. The SRBs are retrieved in the ocean and they rebuild them, just like they did back with the STS. Even SpaceX rockets aren’t exactly “reusable”. They spend a lot of money having to “reuse” them because they have to repair and replace a lot of the rocket.
Boeing, safely Back To The 70's.
Boeing didn't mess that up , thank God !!
He|| has frozen over!! Wonderful launch... Like they knew what they were doing. The pressure to launch must have been insane.
And.....no Doors or Needed Parts Fell Off !!!! VERY BRAVE ASTRONAUTS !!!!
Anybody know what happens to the solid rocket booster after jetisen?
it gets wet
Then it gets picked up.
@@TheSteveSteele Good to know. Thanks! Does it parachutre down?
@@BradyMcG Yes. And thankfully there’s a video showing this. In UA-cam search for “Space Shuttle SRB re-entry and splashdown in the ocean after launch”
at least this is the only one

Sorry lid rocket boosters? Where's still using those? 😂😂😂
Splashdown is going backwards
Dyna Soar should have been developed.
Splashdown? They are hard landing in the western US
U know with the nasas crew project Boeing got paid so much and their 4 years behind and so over budget then u have spacex on their second soon to be newest work horse that will probably be human rated soon

Agree…NOT heroes. This is their JOB!
The difference between Starliner and SpaceX is that Starliner is intelligently built. SpaceX looks to be just an expensive fireworks show.
Crew Dragon has already flown 7 times with astronauts, and SpaceX has landed their boosters 316 times.
Boeing and NASA are stuck in the 60’s. I’d fly a Dragon but wouldn’t step foot in a Starliner!!!
