- Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA's Europa Clipper on a mission to Jupiter's ocean moon. Liftoff from launch complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center is scheduled for Monday, October 14, at 12:06 p.m. EDT (1606 UTC). The mission needs all the power of the Falcon Heavy, its twin side boosters and core stage will not be recovered.
Our live coverage with commentary from Will Robinson-Smith will begin about 75 minutes before launch.

Thanks but didn't the boosters return to land?
@@oksyar I don't think so... at 1:14:22 the narrator says, "the two side boosters ... making their sixth and final flight." But I don't know where they went or why they were discarded.
@@chuckbatson595 I've been looking at several sources but none of them talks about boosters, I always lookout for those dual booster landings but unfortunately they didn't stream this time.
@@oksyar There's a reply in another comment here claiming that to achieve the needed speed, it was necessary to burn all the fuel in the boosters, thus leaving none remaining for a landing. I don't know if that's accurate or if there's an "official" source to corroborate...
@@chuckbatson595 oh that totally makes sense, since it's going to Europa, it needs all the acceleration it can get. They must have used disposable version of boosters. Expensive but at least it gets the job done.
Goodbye, farewell Europa clipper! I hope to be still alive for your arrival in 2030...
You will be alive 👍🏻
You will be alive Leon! Meet me in heaven someday to tell me all about it. I won't be here in 2030...terminal diseases and blood clots suck!
Europa’s is a very special environment to us earthlings. I’m so happy to know there is a dedicated mission. The opportunities for learning include highly active volcanoes and geysers erupting from beneath the ice shell encircling a planet-wide ocean that has suitable chemistry and temperature to support organic life. As we have never seen beneath the ice, there should be great discoveries.
Earthlings”? Terrans, please.
I prefer the term "non-extra terrestrial"
Wow, congratulations, NASA, from Germany.
Will, really want to thank you for how you handle the channel here. I picked up some important things from listening to the background net- including some names from my NASA past!- that I reallly appreciated ! Thanks1 - Dave Huntsman
Here is a simple question, who remembers WW2 aircraft? Drop tanks? An external ring around the ship with to hold refueling tanks, plumbed to fill the main ship. There are so many sci-fi shows that show jump ships using drop tanks
I saw it on the DSN. I saw it on DSN Now. 3 telescopes are handling the telescope. JPL in California, And 1 in Canberra ua
This was the COOLEST thing I’ve seen in my life
He needed to say Space-X in his opening liftoff statement.
wow
this is impressive from UK nice NASA
odd when they change camera views the Earth rotates the other way
The cameras are pointing in the same direction on the circular booster, but flipped upside down from one another.
Flip your phone upside down when watching....same effect

Now hopefully in 3 hours or so the solar panels will unfurl successfully - real excited for this mission.
Bon Voyage! My name is on Europa Clipper 🚀 😊
OK - the sound tech needs a bit of a spanking - multiple units talking over each other and not muting the mics resulting in feedback. Flawless mission, so don't get sloppy with the reporting: we get enough of that from ABC and CBS!
Too late for the live feed, but WOW!
We need to establish equipment for transmission relay to better follow the progress. Could some of that hardware on further shots become a transmission station?
I wish Galileo Galilei could see that.
Oh Ooooh Did they forget 2001 Space Odyssey?
I take it SpaceX - unlike for Starship - chose not to add a Starlink antenna to the second stage, so we couldn’t get video of the second, second stage burn. Just sayin’!
Bummer there was no telemetry
The 2 boosters are not landing
Why?
Why were none of the rocket stages recovered by SpaceX? Isn’t that like throwing away $100 million dollars or more???
they said it was their 6th and final mission
@@James_Ford4815must be different than Falcon 9….I’ve seen 23 times a rocket stage reused. Maybe a Government thing?? Thanks for reply.
To get to the velocity needed to escape from Earth gravity they need to burn ALL THE FUEL so none available for recovery pf lainch vehicle.
@@frankkolmann4801 frank, thanks for reply. Makes sense & I appreciate your kindness and the clarity. Dave
is this worth millions or billions

Two things, we don't need the audible count down we can all see it. Also, stop explaining what max Q is everyone watching this channel has heard that hundreds of times at this point.
Ya and not every person who watched this watches every single bit of nasa garbage so I think if they spend the whopping 10 seconds to explain what it is that isn't a big deal. The second you pander to only one group you'll lose a lot of viewers. By your logic they should probably just not talk at all, and at that point you should just mute the audio if it bothers you that much lmfao
Where is it launching from?
I think….CC
Cape Canaveral
Gorgeous images! Love the sound of those Merlin engines. Awesome project. To go where no man has gone before ..
