Give that pilot a medal! such smooth soft landing without power is simply amazing.

@christopherbernhardt Год назад

Its so cool to me, not the commercial part - that was inevitable, but that there is no fly by wire, no autopilot, entirely hand flown with, of course help from the RCS, but direct linkages to control surfaces. The spaceplane is flying mach 2.5 but its air speed is probably only around 300 miles per hour. Super cool stuff

@christopherbernhardt Год назад

@justweird375 because it doesn't matter if it's commercial or not. I feel like this application only really constitutes commercial use instead of scientific because you can essentially get the same amount of time in the vomit comet for substantially cheaper, it's just for the view. It is still cool that it's commercial spaceflight, but not as cool as the fact that it uses actual linkages to operate the control surfaces.

Very sorry they didn’t make it to space. Space begins at the Kármán Line. 62 miles up (330,000 feet, 100 kilometres). I hope next time, or soon….for them to make it to space. But at least it was a wild ride for them.

close enough tho lol

I am relieved this flight was a success. I have a slight Oceangate trauma.

@peterwilliamson2488 Год назад

The only problem is there wasn’t any space tourists on it!

@dboyd1651 Год назад

Not yet. You can book it for next year though right?

SpaceX is much safer

@9UaYXxB Год назад

2 weeks since we lost 5 'deep-ocean tourists'. No need to look at any of this with a sense of irony and skepticism. What could possibly go wrong? And Virgin ''Galactic''... .hubris much?

@markjason2 Год назад

there are thousands of vehicular accident in the world. What could possible go wrong? Maybe just walk?

@avalancheace Год назад

well we lost astronauts before but their twins were ok lol

@RobotoForgoto Год назад

Well done branson! Why is space commentary so horrible these days? Lots of expeeeeeriments though! 😮

@pythagoras1967 Год назад

Is it really in space???? I call this high orbit or in the thermosphere...and not space

@Infidel. Год назад

Saying "space" will attract more attention

@barbarocastillo5998 Год назад

Is it me or some of you notice that you can't see the curvature of the Earth

@robertwilliamson922 Год назад

It’s the type of lens on the camera. You can actually see the start of the curvature of the Earth on high flying commercial airline fights. I’ve flown between North America and Asia a few times. Including across the Arctic Ocean right by the Geographical North Pole.

@danzstuff Год назад

they're not high enough to see the curvature

@robertwilliamson922 Год назад

@@danzstuff Oh yes they are. The curvature of the earth is slightly visible at airliner altitudes but quite clearly visible from 10,000 feet higher. At 51,000 feet, the highest ceiling of any production airplane, it’s quite easy to see, especially if you’re in the pilot’s seat and are afforded a field of view of 300 degrees or so. I could see the curvature from 41,000 feet up. These guys went many times higher than that. Of course they could see the curvature of the Earth.

No hay nadie más ciego que el que no quiere ver. 85 km. de altitud, el horizonte totalmente plano y la esfera brillando por su ausencia, 😂

@pythagoras1967 Год назад

Funny i can see the stars when on land...yet in space..i can't see any .. things that make you go hummm and look at that horizon

@allanedwards1036 Год назад

Um, the atmosphere filters out sunlight,which is why you can see stars,At the altitude they went,the atmosphere isn't thick,and raw sunlight stops the stars being visible...grow up

what were all the bubbles inside the cabin ? @@allanedwards1036
