Fantastic camera work... FINALLY, I get to see a wide shot of the liftoff as you would if you were there. I've always wanted to see that. I've waited 60 years. THANK YOU.
I saw Discovery go up back in 2007 and this sound brings me right back to it. Launches aren’t what you think they’re going to be. It’s kind of like watching a high speed sunrise accompanied by this atmosphere shattering crackle that shakes your internal organs from several miles away. There are two things that *everyone* should see in their lifetime…a total solar eclipse and a rocket launch. Those two things top my list of experiences that are just too crazy to fully describe. I can imagine that witnessing a nuclear test would be of similar intensity..being able to see the bones in your hand as you cover your closed eyes, etc. There’s just something about experiencing a new level of power. It instills this odd sense of perspective and proportion in you…
Janne Mantyla - Well you at least tried to get there.. And yes I will certainly try my best to get there next time as well.. Although it will awfully hard to pass up being over by the landing zones..
The best ever sound I heard/felt was Discovery in 2008. You hear the ripple of the ignition and the fuel burning and then it just hits you. All those ripples tearing there way through you I had teals rolling down my face. Something never to be experienced again. I talk about this majestic beast blasting off and she just says. “Oh yeah the loud rocket with buzz light year toy on it”. “ “ oh and don’t forget the toilet piece”. She was only 2 1/2
Look at what we can do as a Human Race!! We need more of these advancements to bring us together and ensure our species will live on past our time. There's only 1 race in this world. The HUMAN RACE.
Beautiful video I felt like I was on the beach watching the rocket dive into the sky...Great fluid video and sound. And you zoomed out so that everyone could also guess the speed and distance to the rocket.
I'll be in FL tomorrow, I am hoping to driver over from Tampa and catch the Launch on Sat January 29, 2022. This is a bucket list item for me, I'm willing to go all out. Is PlayaLinda what you would recommend?
Playalinda is a great location to see the launch. You have to get there early. Have to pay to enter the Canaveral National Seashore. Try and park in one of the first parking lots (they fill up quickly) then walk to the beach and turn right and walk as far as you can. There’s usually police/security stopping you from going to far. The whole area gets busy but they shut the entrance to the park when it hits capacity. You can watch it from the max brewer bridge or anywhere in that location but I find Playalinda is better for the sound
if anyone is interested in great audio of the launch, SmarterEveryday made a video with calibrated sound and filmed from the top of nasa's building (only 20 photographers were allowed there)
I'd love to know a little about your experience getting to Playalinda Beach, like how early you needed to get there, any major complications. Great video and thanks for sharing!
@@BritAcrossThePond Thanks. If someone was to Uber there from the Disney park, is this a good place to go for a launch from pad LC-39A. It looked as though that beach might be closed for launches from LC-39A? Do you need to get there many hours before launch, were there any major issues with anything?
It’s approximately 70 miles from Disney to Playalinda Beach. If the launch is during the day then you should be able to go onto the beach. I don’t no if ubers can get there thou as you have to pay to enter the park. Need to get there very early as it fills up. Also there’s never any phone signal there
Put Tuesday (Voiceless) of Max Richter and watch this video without sound..... "The feeling is so deep that human greatness is felt from its early days until today. The road is correct, the path lights up and our faces rise to the sky and soon those faces will look down, like a farewell or see you soon. Humans and the voiceless but successful environment behind those invisible walls that are neither above nor below, or perhaps both, feel and wait for us, one wall at a time. Other ambitions will be born, other discoveries and a wiser humanity and more and more in peace will advance towards the truth." Gracias EE.UU, saludos desde Argentina.
You do realise Musk didn't build this himself? He is not some sort of one man Tony Stark type character, its the hundreds of engineers and scientists that made this happen.
Good sound but a shame that the focus was altered during filming. Was that due to 'auto focusing'? Manual focusing is better as it gives shaper results.
Hi there, I live in Orlando thinking of taking the family to see a rocket launch @ Playalinda one of these days maybe the launch on the 22nd. When's is a good time to arrive at the beach?
Why did not you film to the end? Was it not to show the rocket falling into the sea ??? Surely it is just the atmosphere. I do not see the extraordinary in that
Is the smoke just for special effects? Looks like it's coming from behind the launch area, and doesn't look like it's a result from the blast. Would look nice for images shot from the front, but looks kinda weird from the sides or back like in this video.
Grape Flavored Antifreeze In that case wouldn't it be on all sides? It is just from behind, as if not to cover the view from the front while still giving an impressive visual. Just seems odd. Not sure if the camera angle and position is distorting the way the setup looks.
