Complete SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch to Landing Footage: Enhanced Edition 

Syclone0044 such an awesome job of making it look like it went to space!

But.. we didn't.

@@genox3636 we did. your a Flat Earther aren't you. you can look at sky sky at night and if you see moving stars, those are satellites launched by rockets that went to space. if you don't believe me, i don't know what to say to you. you might as well go to space yourself

@ISHAN PATEL it would be awesome if you could, then this wouldn't be such a big debate.

@@jessie_the_meaney there is no proof. Jist because I look at the evidence, doesn't mean I'm a flat farther, because I'm not.

I mixed John F. Kennedy his 1962 moon speech in to this, check it out --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k1ydZqx_4G8.html

poor sound( but amazin camera work from that distance

So fake it looks real.

David Barnosky BS

@@imdamann3844 How does it feel to be a confirmed moron? If you had a brain you would not know how to operate it.

+Al K thank you! I've been overwhelmed by all the positive feedback I've received for it.

Well deserved.

bombcat91 yup, that was me, I was there before dawn lol.

Me as well, I was standing at the next spot on your right since 04:45 (the first on the site to be honest) It made me look at a picture I took four hours later and we already were 84 to wait. Pretty incredible!

bombcat91 yeah I've never seen it that busy there before. Not really surprising since it was the inaugural launch of Falcon Heavy, but still, it was amazing to see how many came out for it. Really glad to see that, the area needs the tourism.

Indeed, it's also really nice to see all these different persons all around. Almost every time I'm going to this location I'm meeting with peoples coming from different place. That day a man told me he just arrived from California after driving for days, four French peoples were standing close to me, and I met a German space addicted.

You perhaps also believe the Earth to be flat ;)

Who knows how long the car will last, at the rate it appears to be rotating it should not reach either of the temperature extremes. I would think it should last much more than a day. Put your hand in the oven for a short period of time and then stick it in the freezer for a short period of time. Continue the process and your hand will never freeze or burn :) It appears that some of the paint on cars are baked on at around 360 degrees F. Oh and tires are vulcanized they do not melt easily. The car may not be pretty for a long period of time but, it will be in space a very long time.

I think they were trying to prove that this rocket could work, that it could deliver a payload to space and the boosters could land and be reused making putting things into orbit/space more economical. This is something new and unique. Why would they feel the need to prove that something can be put into orbit/space when it has been done thousands of times before? Or is it that you don't buy that either?

The UK building thing. You would of thought the building designers would of thought about this being a problem. But yep I used to burn ants by concentrating the Sun's rays through a magnifying glass. The black ones would burn easy but the red ones wouldn't burn. :)

Chuck P [again] Your last point was your best. "But hey, what do I know?" When you transport an auto by air are the tires inflated? There are protocols for such things. Not inflating the tires is not a modification of the tires. What temp do low-profile tires start to melt? How long does the melting take to deform the tire? How does the rotational speed of the Tesla (period of every 4 mins by some calculations) effect the heat exchange rates of materials on board in a vacuum? You can look some of this up you know. But it will require a tiny bit of effort.

They always bounce and slide around a little bit when they land. At the end of the suicide burn they're on the ragged edge of control.

I doubt there will ever be humans in a rocket booster but who knows. Wait, that could be a good idea put some flat Earth people in a space suit and strap their asses to the booster and give them a ride they will never forget. I wonder at what altitude they separated.

They separated at approximately 61 kilometers (based on the SpaceX webcast).

jrvanwhy thanks, yes that would do nicely at an altitude of 200,000 ft one should then be able to see the curvature just fine.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ursus Horribilis nothing amateur about this.

PrfMoriarty AMATEUR: An amateur (French amateur "lover of", from Old French and ultimately from Latin amatorem nom. amator, "lover") is generally considered a person attached to a particular pursuit, study, or science in a non-professional or unpaid manner. (Google first definition - source Wikipedia. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur&ved=0ahUKEwiig9bVzaHZAhVPbK0KHVZsAycQmhMINDAB&usg=AOvVaw0eGSDgyem62V51AYiocTCq ) Unless you know otherwise, I don't think he photographs rocket launches for his carrier.

Andrew Laird I did all of the tracking by hand for this launch using the joystick and while I won't say it was easy it was definitely doable. I'm confident that I could keep it in view 100% of the time on every launch as long as the weather is clear like this. Automated tracking can automatically follow the flame but for SpaceX launches some of the most interesting bits occur when there is no engine firing. For that you do need to be able to control it manually with the joystick. I do plan to do a video covering this and showing more of how I do the tracking next time there's a launch. I'd really like to screen capture footage of the tracking program during the launch but I didn't want to risk that overtaxing the computer during the tracking for this historic event.

Justin Foley no unfortunately not, at least not yet. ASCOM support for certain celestron and Meade telescopes is coming

Beavernator lol not . Just proves the fakery even more , edited for the sheeples convenience how thoughtful. :-)

^^^^ triggered^^^^^

Imda Mann he released unedited footage idiot

Luke Teasdale You have to remember that folks like Imda Mann are sad little people who spend their lives cleaning other people toilets because they can't be bothered to learn how to do more. They become triggered if others take that time and lash out.

@@imdamann3844 That video is exactly what i saw with my own eyes through some nice optics. Hell, i think we were even at the same location. No editing. Sorry to burst your bubble.

NASA did not do a video of this launch because NASA was not involved in it.

I was roughly a dozen or so miles from the launch pad, less than seven miles from the landing pads. The tracking was performed using manual joystick inputs with some software I wrote for my LX200. The latest version has more advanced feature based tracking, but for this launch I wanted full manual control since the I'd have to make the call on which booster to follow.

BeavisSaves They already did that 5 seconds after this happened.

this actually helped the flat earther's

@@delarocha4135 You make no sense! The only things that will help flat earthers are real education, to help correct their profound ignorance, or in more severe cases psychiatric treatment to help cure their delusions.

Absolutely, thank you for asking! And please shoot me a link if you can once it's up.

awesome!! I'll be sending you when its up(in a few months), thank you again!

+Ian Timberlake a video about it is on my to do list. For a general overview of my software you can see this video. Apologies for the cluttered ui, it's a placeholder. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eDUfJxsuUPk.html

After that last California launch where the focus was completely off on their ground camera... they probably should contact me lol. They haven't though, at least not yet.

Yup, I have this one in particular distributed under creative commons attribution. Please credit this channel, astronomy live, but feel free to use it in your video. And if you can, I'd like to see it when it's done, just for fun.

@@Astronomy_Live forsure! Thank you and I'll make sure to give full credit to your channel.

Russell Anderson hits dome and they cut the feed ,remarkable ha .

There is no dome. Don't compound your foolishness.

Russell Anderson u will be judhed soon snt turn your bk cuase he will too

Garyl, what you just wrote is unintelligible in any language I understand. Try again.

Russell Anderson It will take a while his/her English translation software apparently is as reliable as his/her reasoning logic or critical thinking skills. Not at all reliable.

Incredibile!

The boosters are covered with soot from flying through the kerosene plume of the center core as well as their own exhaust on reentry. The sonic boom delay varies with different distances at different sites. And the trajectory of the center core should be heading down towards the horizon as it goes around the curvature of the earth. You can see this exactly in the simulation I ran this past weekend.

I would go with the was, just to be on the safe side! LOL

Spiritus I think it was. Good catch.

And the Darwin award goes to... 1st bird in history to be killed by a landing rocket. What a unique way for a bird to die. Did they have to wipe it off?

The bird survived. If you have software that will allow a frame by frame step (VLC), you can see that the bird remains to the right of the rocket, and even though faintly, it is slightly visible disappearing off the top of the screen as the rocket drops further. The bird size compared to the rocket suggests that the bird is nowhere near the rocket, but somewhere between the camera and the rocket. Any bird flying close the descending rocket would be sure to get out of the way real fast. Birds only get trapped when in a flock when they can't easily get out of the way, such as the ones that have been trapped by Jet engines. At the time the rocket is descending when this bird is visible, it is nowhere near as fast as a Jet airplane. After the rocket has landed, you can see birds flying around on the other side of the water. Looking at the landed rocket, you would expect those same birds to be so tiny that you could not see them from the camera location, and with the rocket still descending, the bird would have to be extremely large and extremely high up. I've watched and filmed a lot of launches myself from very close, and often there are birds flying around the launch site, but I have never seen one so close as to turn into a crispy critter. The launch blast pushes air outwards as the hot air expands, so that cushion and push would probably blow a bird sideways, but conceivably the hot air could overcome the bird; just haven't see it happen. I think some of the higher resolution cameras that news crews use would capture it, and someone would be making a comment about it. I think the birds are more likely to be hit by a baseball pitch because that has happened (search it on RU-vid).

+Jim Forbes-Ritte I think it's about 12 miles to the launch pad and about 5 or 6 to the landing zone.

Astronomy Live cool, ta. Explains the big gap between landing and sonic booms, which must’ve been the cores as they descended...

Большое спасибо!

Not really possible to do that accurately, since the launch is much further than the landings. Syncing one would still leave the other off since sound travels for different times over the different distances. Also the people reacting would sound really odd.

Did you not watch the entire video? He DID film the landing!!!

mattyboy ahoy Are you referring to the halos around the cores after separation?
