Not really humans just don't try and if you want to try you have to be rich and powerful seen kids make things like this on small scale on RU-vid in america trying to live out your dreams 90% of the time leaves you broke
@@jayceesarant4371The “not really” comment is narcissistic dismissiveness. It’s never been done in human history before. Hold your tongue and learn to keep quiet.
man, this is all done with electronics and gigahertz navigation there is nothing math-relevant going on here the technology itself is most likely planned to be used on the Moon as a fallback measure when one or more boosters are broken or damaged on Earth, catcher nets will be used
@@EmpressLizard81 if he didn’t have the idea, and the courage to work on it, it would take the world another 100 years to build something like this you know that right?
The best video I've seen of the return; simply because it was a wider shot and gives you a sense of speed against the cloud layer behind it. WELL DONE.
Wish my dad could have been around to see this. He served in the USAF as a jet mechanic, took me to many rocket launches with special close up views. This is great.
@@ismailsayyed7686 how do you explain the smoke in FRONT of the booster at the beginning of the video if it's ok reverse. You are communicating on a handheld supercomputer but you don't think it's possible for humans to accomplish this?
My dad was a computer programmer. Once he heard about email being a thing he said WE BEEN DOING THAT AT THE OFFICE. Wish he could see my Tesla model Y drive to me by itself
That is absolutely amazing! I'm 64 years old. I didn't think I would ever see something like this. It's a great time to be alive! I think I watched that 10 times. Absolutely amazing!
@@wtfdude1830 Go ahead and search "Delta Clipper Vertical Landing" here on youtube. You'll see that the McDonnell Douglas DC-X was doing vertical landings back in 1994, and they were landing the rockets on the launch pad without the need for a crane to catch it.
What a time to be alive! 120 years from first flight to this. Even more humbling is the incalculable number of hands, minds, and hours that made this 60 second clip possible
When you see comments like this you come to a conclusion how encrypted ,programmed inoculated and dummed down earthlings have become...myopia sets in and it gets passed on to generations...mankind has failed woefully 😢
@@trungkienngo6267 the sheer scale of booster coming down at terminal velocity from the edge of space, glowing hot because of that speed, the fluid dynamics of the propellent inside the booster at that speed and being able to precisley ignite the engines to shave off that speed to just a hover and place it right within centimeter precision to allow the mechazila arms to grab it gently, if that doesnt awe u then, maybe u need to stand on ground zero and look up at the booster to understand the sheer monstrosity of its size to understand the level of engineering that went into this catch.
“Come on kids, let’s watch a Billionaire waste millions of *our* tax dollars on his giant toy rocket. Sure he could have used that money on food or energy subsidies for the working masses but what would be the fun in that?”
Ive seen like 50 videos of this and it still doesnt gets old! The feat of engineering, the precision, the scale and all done on the first try! Truly incredible. What a time to be alive!
You wanna know what's really nuts? I used to think the same thing about droneship landings of Falcon 9. Now those are so routine they are boring. One day, I hope THESE are so routine they are boring. Will be a great day for our species.
@@chriswhite3692 lol i see you're point, and honestly if they get to that point i couldn't agree more. Was just telling my bro yesterday "now imagine these things coming and going like a friggn airport" Would be a great day because i can imagine commercial spaceflight becoming reasonable for most ppl in comparison to now. Hopefully anyway lol.
@@phillhuddleston9445 Most people have no clue how the technology they use every day actually works, so it’s no surprise this video seems quaint to them at best.
@@gdgavali We had Methyl-lox full flow staged combustion 50 years ago? Plus they'd have been lucky to land in a square kilometer target back then. This hit within a square centimeter.
Yes on really low gravity with no atmosfer or wind, and also have quite big landing area that they can miss just fine, the fuk are u on about? @@gdgavali
This video was taken from a distance of approximately 4.25 kilometres away. You can calculate this by measuring the time between the firing of the rockets and the time you hear the sound of the rockets. Sound travels at a speed of 343 m/s and the time between the visual signal of the engines firing to the point you hear the ignition is 12.39 seconds. Which gives you 12.39 x 343 = 4249.77 meters. Amazing how large it still looks from that far away.
I don't know how many times I've seen this now, and every single time I'm just blown away. That's a skyscraper, plummeting out of the sky at terminal velocity, braking at the last minute, and then nonchalantly hovering while two arms that are bigger than artic lorries gently close around it. SpaceX needs a spaceport in Australia so I can get to see this in person!
I don't think spaceX can operate in other countries while being in contract with US government. You can rather visit US for next launch, and have some texas BBQ and see the rodeo😂
(Edit) this is incorrect please disregard Unfortunately, even if they could get over the national defense issues of having it in a different country, Australia is two far from the equator to be a convenent launch site.
What’s missed is because of the great technology of cameras, it looks like it’s coming back to earth slowly. But if you notice the shock wave to the surrounding clouds. It’s coming in faster than the speed of sound, causing a sonic booms. Amazing!!
I woke up that morning to notice a shadow being casted across the sky. It was amazing, I notice the different cloud like plumes from the different altitudes the rocket created while I was recording with my phone. Then the sonic boom sound it made as it was landing in Boca Chica. I was in Pharr about 50 miles away. To all the engineers and founder of Space X congratulations to all your hard work, precision engineering and achievements.
The precise moment to fire back the rocket, the angle of fall, mehn, the calculations involved in this whole process and it worked in real life is simply mind blowing.

Las time I cried was when my dad passed away 6 years ago. This made me cry again the first time I watched it, but for completely different reasons. Let's go humans!
@@77gravity Science is also superstition because the mind is the matrix and everyone creates their own destiny. Like a magician. It's just that most people don't realize that they are the magician
As a 70 year-old adult Who played Lunar lander as a kid I can tell you that just landing successfully in two dimensions is really challenging. I can't imagine trying to hit a specific point. At least triple hard. I NEVER mastered that skill. Kudos and a little tear.
@@高山流水-l8mIn this context "insane" is used as slang for amazing, awesome, fantastic, hard to believe or any number of descriptions with positive definitions.
the ship is meant to go to other planets.. You know, places without giant launch towers.. There is zero reason to even attempt to catch the ship. It has to be able to land on its own.
@@Mikael-jt1hk The starship is also meant to carry heavy loads (e.g. propellants & starlink satellites) into orbit, leave that load in orbit, but return itself almost empty to Earth in a good condition and after a little maintenance repeat such a carry-load-into-orbit launch again.
@@Mikael-jt1hk I'm aware I mean when they land the booster back on the launch tower and starship itself to complete a successful free standing landing on the ground like in prior test flights. Just be sick to see them complete both in one go
No wings, coming down straight without spinning, no flip fall, not uneven rotation while landing. 🎉 congratulations team, this is a great and beyond amazing accomplishment/achievement ❤ , we have known flying formula from wright brothers on or before but we got you guys for safe straight booster landing
Never. America needs to out the democrats come next 2 weeks and install a new fascist constitutionalist to make America great again. Facism is not wrong if the people are protected under a constitution. Thats why MAGA ahave become recently fascist national constitutionalist. We will make our young men and women godly again, honorable, they will all be patriots as well. With this new party we will no more, allow any proprietary theft of any kind. China has stolen so much from us and they cannot have the falcon 9 or starship designs no matter what. They still cannot make a functional landing rocket and elon made one since 2008. We must keep it USA only and everybody who gets even 5 miles or closer to these inventions must be a US citizen with no ties to China.
The main ship uses a flip fall because it goes into orbit which is a much higher speed, and it must slow down, so it falls sideways (and it needs a heat shield because of the extra speed which is converted into heat). The booster just carries the main ship above the thick part of the atmosphere, so it doesn't fall so fast. (I know the main ship hasn't been to orbit yet and the tests were just up and down; I'm saying that's what it's designed for.)
If you watch it closely you can see the fine tuning they do as it's almost all the way down. They bring it vertical in the last foot or so. Never get tired of watching this.
It's all AI controlled. There's is no human in control, A flight computer is running the show. Up untill call out for landing attempt was the final moment they had flight control. Afterward, it's just the FTS they can activate. The live corrections you see are all made by an algorithm and executed by the flight computer within nano seconds.
@benjie9449 I never said easy, the coding alone would be a technical achievement. All I meant is that it's not being controlled by some or any dude with a joystick or keyboard. It's a very sophisticated program.
@@paleface408learn why, because if you didn't just watch the video, you would know" how so." So tired of people downplaying this, as if they even remotely understand what's going on
@@ThirdDimensionalBeing but literally how does it help humanity in any way? It's impressive but it does nothing for the crisis society is facing and the many problems on earth
In 2001 you would get questions like. But why do you want to do this ? Isn't it cheaper to lunch one rocket that can go to the Moon, then launching 20 reusable rockets ? What does this cost ? Who is paying for this ? When is it ready ? Can we get our money back, if it fails ? But in 2024... *IS THIS A SPACE POD* or do i need to share my ride with "other" people ?
@@RogerKeulenThis is when the technology in materials, process and software physically intersects with concepts and ideas. From this point forward it is purely refinements. This was a sentinel step in reusability of heavy orbital vehicles.
These scenes are the testament to how victorious the human race is...I am so very honoured to be able to witness the changes that the world is going through... I am not able to imagine how it's going to be in another 100 years from now. Hopefully we will have a multi race of being's amongst us.
I can’t wait to see how far the SPACE X team will take this. This is contains all the best in people. Science, engineering, chemistry, team work at its best
I wonder if Any Kamala supporter could Ever come close to an accomplishment like this. Elon Knows who is Best to lead our country and our world. Make No Mistake 🎉 ❤
I watched this live and I was amazed. I watch it every time I see it come up again, and it's incredible every time. This will never stop being cool! I can't wait to see what more they do!
Amazing. Imagine how many kids grew up, shared a dream and then made this possible. Imagine what sort of things we'd achieve if all of us worked together on a singular idea. Thats over 8 billion people.
@@akeyladog420 Well, that and the vision to believe it could be done and the willingness to take the risk to try it. Let's be honest, this would have taken NASA 50 years - and most of that would have been getting politicians to agree to even try because they saw nothing in it for them.
@cisium1184 Being the largest investor, then taking over the company doesn't make you a genius...well, maybe it does. Regardless of my opinion of Elon The Thief, they are doing great work at SpaceX.
The software to make this happen is pretty amazing. The rocket motor/fuel control is incredible. I question the reusability of the fuselage/casing, but that doesn't diminish this astounding achievement of engineering.
Software is the least impressive thing in this in my opinion as someone who has been developing software for past 15 years professionally. I can make the software of this with a team of 10 capable developers in less than four months. The impressive thing is the hardware that is working so reliably and with that amount of precision. That level of control on the moment of engines to adjust the angle of engines in milli-seconds. And the engines firing precisely. And all sensors working as well as it did. And the plumbing to bring fuel at the right flow-rate to the engine. I don't think I can make that. So, I am impressed on that.
@@ksh6 or 50 tons falling out of the sky C.G I. GOT CAUGHT, how much thrust would have to be generated to slow that thing down so that it didn't crash into the Earth.😳 Just axeing
@@nhoj924lllEach individual Raptor engine can produce up to 230 tons of force at sea level. They start the descent with 13 engines, then drop down to three for the last part of the landing. The problem is actually getting the thrust low enough that they can have some sort of fine control (or in other words, to have enough time before they start going back up to get in the right spot to get caught). Falcon 9 has the same problem - It has to stick the landing perfectly with no time to spare because it can't hover - If it fired the engines slightly too early, it'd go shooting back up away from the landing site, so it basically slams into the ground with a huge amount of thrust cutting off at the right moment to stay there.
@@ryanhodin5014 Ryan i appreciate what you're trying to tell me, there are so many parameters that have to be met for that. To work correctly, every time just flabbergasted. Aint saying it aint possible saying it looks like it aint possible.😁
Everyone remember making fun of spaceX a few years back for rocket crashes? They weren’t lying, those were destructive tests. Testing to failure lets you learn some crazy stuff
This solidifies that we may not be halo reach or Star Wars/Star Trek level of space travel in our lifetimes but we may see the launch of ships like the Lazarus. It’s ions from interstellar. Mad exciting
@@5893MrWilson From the telemetry I see peak deceleration of about 200km/h per second. That's about 5.5G. Also, about the same rate goes when it hits the atmosphere, when the engine part is glowing the brightest. About the moment where this clip begins.
@@jasonpoullos8989 If the object is coming from outside the atmosphere, of course it can fall at supersonic speeds. You can even see the shock wave in the clouds at the beginning of the video.
I will NEVER get tired of watching this. I remember watching July 20, 1969, live on TV as my Dad fiddled with the cable controls for the rooftop antenna trying to improve reception - but even that pales in comparison to this.
@@trainman1209 Yes, a pair of cables running down the side of the house that, when pulled, rotated the rooftop antenna either CW or CCW. However, I delivered TV Guide door-to-door from spring 1966 until August 1968 - I'm positive there already some Cable TV listings in it at that time, though whether anyone in my smallish (30k pop) town had it yet I don't know.
