It’s nice to see someone so genuinely happy about things like this
Yep! I appreciate his appreciation.
Yo, check out Everyday Astronaut, fr fr his community (me included) are stoked about everything space.
it was few days earlier i found the helicoptor vid and sooo happy thatr they did launch in this time of crisis
@@azerwhite8870 Yes!! So many people are hyped. My UA-cam feed has been all Perseverence for the past week
Saransh for real tho, my Twitter is blowing up, and Everydays astronauts discord is crazy
Awesome my dude.
Hey man, how’s it going lately?
No laminar flow, huh?
DjSapsan 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Destin!
Hey Destin Your Right this is awesome
“taking off from the shore of the cosmic ocean” man that guy painted a masterpiece with his words
Agreed, that was beautiful. "Punching a hole in the sky." That man has a way with words.
It's true, since the beginning of the space exploration we've only wandered on the shore of the vast cosmic ocean. Now it is time for us to set sail to what lies ahead.
He got this phrase from Carl sagan
he's Shakespeare II man
Carl Sagan s quote
Did you see laminar flow?
No, neither did I.
Ha!
first i guess..
Yeah
lmao. The rivalry continues.
But really, what amazing camera was this? The dynamic range is massive: pointing at the sun and you still had a bright blue sky?! I felt like I was really there.
Ha, more like turbulent flow!
VSauce, and Veritasium posting on the same day...
EPIC
Coincidence .
Or is it ?
Coinsidences?
together with the nasa launch and physics girl vid
Only this video didn't watch like a 103° fever dream which I am thankful for.

imagine being on your first launch and forgetting sunglasses.
And a cap! If I didn’t have a cap when I saw a starlink launch back in february my whole experience would’ve been ruined
Imagine watching it in an empty field with a mask on 😪🤦♂️

It’s on my bucket list to see a rocket launch one day
I wish I lived on a continent where they launch rockets
Same here
Rushabh in person obviously
My bucket is to ride one of those rockets someday
(not bucket list, whole bucket)

2012: Let's see where our CURIOSITY will take us.
2021: Let's see where our PERSEVERANCE will take us.
And let's see what our INGENUITY will show us.
2031:Let's see what the humans show us on mars.
it's very great that we have so many optimistic people about what is gonna come into the future, the science and the information behind this missiond will be of great gift for the next generations.
ua-cam.com/video/x___rkh8sVs/v-deo.html
@@ukn4045 this kind of optimism seems blind to me. In the short term, we need to fix climate change, this is something we know will have catastrophic consequences otherwise. Space exploration comes afterwards.
When you feel like you are the only one about to look at a rocket launch, there are 2 possibilities:
1) it's a pandemic
2) you are too close
XDDD Great!
3) They are returning to earth without you. That's what you get Dave for getting chip crumbs all over the couch.
4). All your friends are making Tiktok and you are the only one who loves Science.
Derek,
I have only recently discovered your channel. Love it! Sorry I missed you at the launch.
Even after 20 missions to Mars for ULA, it never gets old for our team.
If you'd like to do this again and be a little closer to the pad, just let me know. I know a guy. ;)

hello Tory
This is when you know you have an incredible science/space channel 💪🏼
Oooo Iam smelling a colab ; )
Oooo
Hello Tory👋
The sound of this lifting off is something different man...
rolling thunder
Kinda like the A-10 Warthog *brrrrrrt*
Love the sound.. and even more the sight..
Near my city has testing pad of «proton» engines (Russia), when they are ignite in 50 km area we hear powerful low freq noice, even inside old brick buildings.

a really long one
I get that same feeling of being on this rock when I look at the moon through a telescope and you can see it actually moving, the faint shimmer of atmosphere between me and this celestial body... Always amazes me.
I get the same feeling when I see the ISS pass over at night. It occurs to me that people are like ants, scurrying around, not realizing what's going on in the sky overhead.
Technically you can’t see the Moon moving. It appears to be moving because of the rotation of Earth round it’s axis.
Hey Angus we have the same name lol
@@erblinbeqa6550 have you ever looked at the moon thru a telescope? If you magnify close enough on a windy night the atmosphere obscures and bends the light, making the moon sorta wobble . I'm pretty sure that's what they mean when they say 'move'
If you stand still enough, you can witness the moon and stars moving at a noticable speed. I do it all the time.

It's honestly depressing how little some people care about space exploration.
why?
just think tho, in the next couple years when we return to the moon, and then following this we send people to mars, everyone's gonna be crazy about it! I, personally, am so grateful to be alive to witness the first human to step foot on another planet!
I’m passionate about it but why do other people?
I think it's because humanity is not on point, in 2030/50 when the first human step on Mars it's gonna be trending on the Internet, news, movies, just like in 1969 when they got on the Moon
@@nomeruim1957 they're planning on sending humans to mars within 5 years.

@@elieweiss1049 lol
What a flex
Veritasium I thought it was pretty funny. I’m bummed I missed the launch but from your video it looks awesome!
Actually my Aunt and Uncle (Tanja Bosak and Ben Weiss) are two of the leading scientists on the Mars Mission and are both professors at MIT.
The part about realizing we're really on a rock hurtling through space really hit me because that's exactly how I felt watching the eclipse. Something about seeing the moon physically blocking the sun with my own eyes just made it all feel more "real" to me. The sun and moon weren't just abstract lights moving through the sky, but they along with the earth were very real objects moving through space. It was definitely the most awe-inspiring moment of my life.
Launching a space craft at the current situation of the pandemic is just mind blowing
WOW!!
Yeah, I'm amazed they pulled it off with the lockdown happening right at crunch time for getting everything set to go.
@@veritasium can you collab if not can you shout me out in your next video
NASA already had experience with quarantining with astronauts before flights and the make sure everything is sterile with their equipment so there no contaminants that could mess with the other planet and the science that is found.
Careful, you’ll set off the conspiracy theorists
Wow no way He replied
I genuinely confused and surprised when seeing derek getting himself interviewed lol

@@hydrogenatom4624 Thank you. (not intrigued yet 😉)
I remember watching the first space shuttle launch (my aunt was an engineer on the build, so we got special seating)... watching the first reusable launch vehicle take to the heavens.
Oh... and my great grandfather was with us. He was born in 1884 so he was 19 when he read about the Write brothers flying the first airplane... and he got to see the space shuttle launch!
My father is now retired from the Navy, but during the 70s, he was commanding the USS Ticonderoga when it plucked the Apollo and Skylab astronauts out of the ocean - I guess you could say my family has interacted with the space program since we landed on the moon... but I still remember the look of awe my great grandfather had on his face. It's a look you cannot fake. Here was a man who was around when man first flew... first used airplanes in combat... saw the V1s and V2s hit England in WWII... saw the first jet airplanes... was not too far away when the first jet broke the sound barrier... heard about the Soviet Sputnik in real time... our own lunar landing and Skylab space station... then the space shuttle. He passed away at 100 years old from the flu. His mental and physical facilities in tact, so prior to him catching the flu, we heard him explain history first-hand... but watching the shuttle take flight? I think that was where his level of awe reached the limits a person could feel.
He was a great man who saw a LOT of history and thankfully ever became senile - he was sharp as a tack and taught my family many things that people only think of as "in the olden days".
Doesn’t look like much until you hear the blast and then you realize that is some real power up there. Badass!

"realise that you're on a rock hurdling through space" that happened to me when I was high on acid
I feel lucky to live in a part of Florida where I can see rocket launches from my front yard.
Envy you. Pure jealousy beating in my heart right now. I've waited all my life to see one in real life. I'd have goosebumps all over for sure.
Cool
And I live in Texas where I can see shuttle landing. That used to be on the license plates... they got rid of that picture, once you could find pieces on the side of the road.
Sorry couldn't resist.
Launch videos never give you the spectator's view of a launch. This was awesome, and thanks for good audio that rattled my room.
I was just watching the old vid of the Mars Helicopter
Me too.
just last sunday i watched the vid :D its like too real now
Saw you on the post launch commentary. That was Awesome. You did great, derek!
child like awe and fascination is truely one the best and purest parts on humanity.

Was about to go to sleep after watching the launch on TV, as I had just gotten back from work and had a doctor's appointment in a few hours, when I heard your legendary voice coming from the TV. I immediately got up and watched your interview before I went back to bed. Good stuff getting to be interviewed by NASA in front of millions of people on live television.

I watched that part at 0.5 X speed . I wasn't disappointed.
At least he wasn't pointing at it while looking directly into it.
The other hand and it wouldnt be funny anymore hahahaaha
That launch is really in history in going to Mars...
It’s my dream to see a rocket launch in person. Living on the west coast in California we only have launches from Vandenberg Airbase. We got to see the Space X launch a while ago but it wasn’t up close. When Space X launched the first manned mission to the ISS it made me emotional. Also it made me proud to be an American. It shows what we can accomplish when we put our problems aside and work together.
Anybody here after the landing ?
Why isn't this video being recommended to absolutely everyone? Barely any new comments.
Anyways, it was cool watching this video when it came out and then seeing the video of the same rover landing on Mars. Make me wish I could've seen the launch myself, and also makes me wish I could live to the age where just maybe, I can see this rover on the Martian surface for myself.

""It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning, and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it.

Martin Bertel There is nothing bad about the future. We are just flooded with bad news which didn’t all reach us before.
Science progresses, fewer people live in poverty etc...
It's human nature to focus on the negative, alas. There's more equality today than at any point in history, many impoverished nations are beginning to lift themselves out of poverty, we're getting closer than ever to loosening our grasp from oil dependence, and yes, human presence on a non-Earth planet may be within our lifetimes.
Yet still, it's hard not to focus on racial inequities, global warming, and how could we not feel anxiety with a global pandemic? Negativity bias affects us all.
