Love the call outs and the sense of going along for the ride. Please leave the rocket noise in though - it's part of the experience. SpaceX is our current symbol of company-wide excellence. No other launch to orbit company is anywhere near their level of near perfection. Congrats to the entire SpaceX Team. You show up every day and get the job done right - like clockwork. You are the best of the best...
@@peterdavis9403 I don't know. But somehow the rocket noise seems to belong with the visual experience. For example, in Star Trek you could hear the antimatter reactor pulsing whenever you got anywhere near the engine room. So, if you are onboard or along side a Falcon 9 there must be some sound & vibration throughout the whole launch to orbit sequence.
Afraid of what? They expected these booster to last about 8 launches. The one that tip over succeeded the launch but failed at landing, did 23 launches already. That is amazing
Agreed.......... They lost one booster just after it landed and toppled over but FAA shut them down. Meanwhile Boeing lose every booster after launch but FAA are not worried.
SpaceX isn't afraid of getting back on the horse - launching is their preferred state. They see each launch, successful or not, as a learning opportunity. Their real fear is being grounded, which prevents them from iterating and improving. For SpaceX, frequent launches (or "riding the horse") are the fastest path to innovation and progress in rocket technology. The FAA grounding is more of a hindrance to their rapid development strategy than a safety precaution they're hesitant to move past.
landing fail of their most flown booster, faa grounding, spacex request for flight , faa gives all clear to launch, and spacex returns with a doubleheader. All within 3 days. The investigation is ongoing but Spacex proved, to no surprise, that there was no danger to the public with whatever happened on the booster crash landing. I applaud the FAA for being so quick about this.
I actually think it's the other way around. FAA is helping Space X achieve incredible milestones by pushing them to focus on safety. It becomes a win win for both organizations.
@@bryguenther And the FAA has scaled impressively quickly to meet SpaceX's launch rate. They also worked with the industry to streamline licensing, allow for tests where failure is expected without going through the formal mishap process, and allow operators to get a public safety determination to continue flying. It's pretty impressive changes for a large regulator and it's disappointing so many fans see it as only an obstacle trying to slow down SpaceX for nebulous political reasons.
@@user-pr8ch6we5znew glenn will launch NET october 13, if it even makes that deadline. i’m confident it will, but we never know for sure. meanwhile, spacex has had one mission failure in over four years and almost 400 rockets.
not really lol? faa grounded them and let them fly just a day afyer spacex made a request for a public safety determination. they were grounded for barely 3 days, props to the FAA for being efficient this time.
@@Allthegoodhandlesaretakenlmao What.......... For grounding SpaceX after a booster flown 23 times lands and then topples over on a barge. Starliner launched with helium leaks AND passengers, barely making it to the ISS before being declared unsafe by NASA but very quiet from the FAA so far. In fact if you Google "FAA grounds...... " it only comes up with multiple SpaceX groundlings. Strange!
@@fabianmckenna8197 Starliner is not a launch vehicle and has not yet attempted reentry. The FAA also cannot regulate spaceflight crew safety. The FAA has grounded Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic in recent years. SpaceX makes substantially bigger news though.
Something that helps me is knowing that 1 Kilometer = ~0.6 Miles. And I use it on the fly to orient myself + add zeroes on the end when appropriate (if you get my meaning).
Time to learn the metric system my friend. It's the golden standard in anything scientific. A Mars probe crashed because of mismatch between measurement systems between NASA and supplier.
We feel the same way about the FAA Elon. Boeing is the company that should be deeply investigated and prison terms enforced. Elon's Space X is the ONLY Space program that is keeping us miles ahead of anybody in the world. It's not even close. Elon is the man. Love the guy.
