I love how you can see the second stage angle over towards its orbital trajectory, and then just ACCELERATE. Like watching a dragster heading down the track.
Awesome job Chris!! I'd love to learn more about your workflow. Was this recorded 4k video in log format and color graded in post? Or raw images processed in Lightroom and compiled in a video editor?
What is that explosion? Is this edited? What's happening here? A rocket launching... but what's that initial burst in speed... followed by that supernova-like explosion.... I don't get what I'm seeing. (and you know you don't either)
Its why flat earthers exist lol. If you dont know, research to what happens to gases escaping out rear of a chemical burning rocket and all of a sudden there is no air lol
That "explosion" is when the first stage de-stages with the second stage. Meaning the first part starts falling, and the second part turns on its engine. The thing is. Space X uses super-chilled oxygen, so moisture freezes. So that "explosion" is actually just ice falling from the rocket. Also, the vacuum optimized engine spreads out a lot. Meaning its fuel covers more distance, from side to side. So it looks as if it is exploding. Hope this clarifies :D
@@Mr.Justifi Thanks for that explanation. I figured it was something explainable like that, or it was a fake edited video. But in any case, I appreciate your reply. Thanks, stranger.
@@mickobrien3156 its enhanced by the fact the sun is still shining that high up in the sky because its only just gone sunset on the ground so it looks brighter compared to everything else
@@georgedeane2564 Yea, I guess that makes the most sense. It's probably just that--the sun shining on exploded gases and a million little bits of blown rocket. And since it's apparently about 50,000 feet up when it explodes, it's high enough to still be receiving direct Sun, while the ground is already past sunset (or, alternatively, it's just before sunrise, it's hard to tell without knowing the area or which direction this camera is pointing). OK. I'm satisfied.
