SpaceX launches Starlink batch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, nails landing 

Same as like me

it's so inspiring, if we can do this, what's next?

Me too

I am more amazed that I watched Sputnik cross the desert sky the night it was launched and today a rocket goes up and comes down, lands on a raft in the ocean, in about the time it took to watch a carton down at Jimmy Goodin's Picture Theatre!

Probably not 🤣

@@sharksrcbash hopeful 🤞

I know what you mean, I watched every launch from Alan Shepard to Apollo 16. Even if I took a sick day from school. Missed 17 because I was just completing A.F. basic.

Engineering was never not cool.

America always stand top of China

Second stage is not reusable. SpaceX plans on using Starship in the future for deploying satellites and it will be 100%, fully reusable.

Nobody said the future was gonna be affordable.

It'll get much cheaper.

Split it with 4 people then. In rural areas it is often only way for fast connection.

Kiddo why should they put there camera when all of this cameras are for engineering purposes, not for fun. Secondly you wouldn't see anything there as space is black

That's ice falling off the chilled engines.

Those are plumes from nitrogen side thrusters, used to orient the booster.

lol oh dear 🤦🏻‍♂

Momentum

@@cd5964 stage seperation occurs almost at 60 km altitude.. can momentum push first first stage upto about its double altitude?? If so then why they start it's engine after brief period of seperation..?

It would use more fuel than coasting up and landing at sea.

Did you hear about the parabola in geometry at school? The 1stage climbs from inertia to reach the top of the parabola without consuming fuel and then descends from inertia also without consuming fuel until it is necessary to brake. Otherwise a very large amount of fuel would be needed. It's a simplistic explanation, but I think it's helpful

Have you ever moved at nearly 8000 km/h? If so let me know how long it took you to start moving in any other direction with our without the help of Earth's gravity. See Newton's First law.

oxygen ice

No it shouldn't fall fast as it still got momentum from rocket... physics isn't that hard kiddo.

They have a special robot that secures the booster. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhJnaJU6PD0.html

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they first vent hazardous liquids and gases from the rocket before workers go on board to strap down the legs. But the empty rocket is incredibly bottom heavy so it is more stable than it looks.

They have an Octagraber that secures rhe rocket

Oh they'll find a way to make stargazing a subscription service.

You'll be able to see the stars just fine.

No one sensible would think that! There is no "blowing" in space since there is no atmosphere.

blowing? In space? lolll OK, Bill.

What grade r u? 3 bro?

This is all fake af

It is pretty windy up there...

Money and time: The most valuable things in existence. Makes a lot of sense to anyone capable of understanding business.

@party4keeps28 If you understood business at all, you'd be able to answer my question with something meaningful. These people are spending billions to operate. Adding additional cameras wouldn't add much to the bill. Looking at the footage of this video, I can say that factually, it could easily be misrepresented or faked using software. How about a few 360° cameras showing more than the "ass" of the rocket? 360° cameras would give a much more complete footage. 360° cameras have been on the consumer marker for 20+ years. Do this so we can see more than just a downward view and some thrusters in action. I could replicate this footage provided on any cheap ass laptop that has decent software. What bullshit this is.

@Buster HoodStar I did lol. Money and time is the answer. There are no pros to adding more cameras, only cons. Edit: They don't care how people like you feel about the footage. You don't matter.

@party4keeps28 Thank you. There it it is. There are no pros to adding more cameras because visual information is being withheld. It's already been proven that the government and its associates withhold or/and alter/delete video/camera footage from other planets and in space. I'd have to be full of shit like you to accept the weak-ass answer that you've provided. If someone showed me video footage of a vehicle drag racing on a strip and I could only see the rear of the vehicle and ground using up the entire frame, I'd be saying the same. Give me footage of more than just bullshit and some graphics in the lower portion of the sceeen. Give us a view of space and things surrounding the rocket. Because this crap doesn't pass mustard. What else do you have for me? So far, all your gibberish is pretty weak.

@Buster HoodStar Nasa color corrects footage because their cameras don't work like the one on your phone. If you learn how light works then it'll make sense. What you don't seem to understand is that the people at SpaceX have no need to prove anything to skeptics like yourself. The footage they get is good enough and it would be a waste of money and time to do what you see fit. As I said before, if you understood business you'd know what I'm talking about. Business is all about allocating resources such as money, time, and people. To do what you want would be a 100% complete waste of resources with no benefit whatsoever. I can help you understand with a simple question: How would it benefit them to add the cameras you'd like implemented? Just to be clear, I'm not asking how it would benefit you, I'm asking how it would benefit SpaceX.

All Vandenberg launches are for polar orbits or similar high inclination ones.

Or someone in particular.

He can do whatever he wants. He EARNED it. Cher is an idiot. 😅😅😅

The gov't would stop that.

That name is only borrowed, it came from an other kind of genius :)

Kind of like why is a mouse when it spins?

It's derived from Iain Banks' Culture series of novels, in which artificially intelligent, sentient robots, which included spaceships and many other things, chose names for themselves that were of this form - largely ironic non-sequiturs. Poor Iain died of pancreatic cancer a few years back. One of his last actions was to marry his long-term partner, soon after he was given only a few months to live. Somewhat apocryphally, he apparently proposed with the words "will you do me the honour of becoming my widow". A fantastic author and by all accounts a bloke who lived his life to the fullest. Something of the Hemingway of science fiction.

Reflection of the sun on the camera lens cover. Notice it moves precisely with the rotation of the booster?

@@MeerkatADV Are you referring to the second one (reflection). There was one initially that went fast, then another which maybe what you referred to as the reflection. You have to look immediately when the video starts.

@TheKoolaidekidd are you talking about the RCS thrusters? Thats how the booster maneuvers in vacuum. Literally not seeing anything unusual in the footage.
