- The first three Falcon 1 flight failures from Omelek Island in the Marshall Islands, upscaled from low bitrate webstreams, presented with multiple camera views and onboard sound.
Sequences from multiple cameras as shown side by side and isolated in real time. The sound was restored based on onboard audio from multiple launches. AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used to upscale the video sequences. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences. Original videos are sourced from SpaceX's CZcams channel.

=======================================
Falcon 1 was a small-lift launch vehicle that was operated from 2006 to 2009 by SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer. On 28 September 2008, Falcon 1 became the first privately developed fully liquid-fueled launch vehicle to go into orbit around the Earth.
The first launch took place on 24 March 2006. It ended in failure less than a minute into the flight because of a fuel line leak and subsequent fire. The vehicle had a noticeable rolling motion after liftoff, as shown on the launch video, rocking back and forth a bit, and then at T+26 seconds rapidly pitched over. Impact occurred at T+41 seconds onto a dead reef about 250 feet from the launch site.
The second launch was on 21 March 2007 with a DemoSat payload for DARPA and NASA. During staging, the interstage fairing on the top of the first stage bumped the second-stage engine bell. At around T+4:20, a circular coning oscillation began, which increased in amplitude until video was lost. At T+5:01, the vehicle started to roll, and telemetry ended.
The third launch was on 3 August 2008. During the launch, small vehicle roll oscillations were visible. Stage separation occurred as planned, but because residual fuel in the new Merlin 1C engine evaporated and provided transient thrust, the first stage recontacted the second stage, preventing the successful completion of the mission.

Remember these well! Heard about a start up called SpaceX back in the day. Been following ever since, from day one.
I remembered all these launches i still look back to these
Great job, I love watching those expanding plumes when the air pressure gets lower,
Can we consider this Retro already? Lol.
Thanks by the way.
Spacex has come a long way from this.
true very true
So cool!!
I have Space X's launch broadcast of flight 2, 3, 4,and 5 that I recorded off the internet in my collection. Otis
The second flight was close to success, but the loss of thrust led to the failure to enter orbit.
I believe it was fuel slosh due to inadequate baffling in the fuel chamber. The system as is could not compensate, so the oscillations increased until adequate control could no longer be maintained.
Never have a rocket launch near trees that's a very big fire hazard
Can somebody explain to me what this is and what the goals of this launch systems were?
Of... Falcon...? can't tell if you're joking lol
@@matty7834 Yes, of Falcon. Why would I be joking? I just ran across this video. I don't keep up with this stuff. I have no idea what Falcon is. It looked Interesting, so I thought I'd ask.
@@dextermorgan1 lol I find that hard to believe given how early you are to the video, but I’ll treat it seriously
Falcon 1, designed by SpaceX, a private aerospace company, launched 5 times in total from 2006 - 2009. It failed its first 3 attempts as you’ve watched here, and had 2 successful attempts before retiring.
Falcon 1 was essentially a test-bed for Falcon 9. As the name suggests, it has 9 of the same “Merlin” engines as the Falcon 1 has.
Falcon 9 first launched in 2010, and was successful on its first attempt. SpaceX at the same time had won contracts from NASA to deliver cargo to the international space station on Falcon 9.
Falcon 9 failed twice, one in 2015 and then in the 2016.
Here’s where it gets interesting though:
Falcon 9’s first stage has the capability to reignite its engines before hitting the ground and actually land on a floating ship in the middle of the ocean on its engine, allowing for recovery and reuse of the stage, drastically saving cost to SpaceX.
Landing the first stage took quite a few attempts to get right, but they did it for the first time in 2015 on land m.czcams.com/video/ZD1zSzmkn2w/video.html
In 2020, SpaceX became the first company to privately develop crew launch capability for contract to NASA to send astronauts to the International Space Station, ending NASAs reliance on Soyuz (the space shuttle retired in 2011).
Today, Falcon is widely regarded as the most reliable rocket by far in history, last year alone it launched over 1,200 metric tons of payload to orbit on 96 launches (beating out the previous record set by Soyuz of 46).
Falcon has launched 302 times in total, and has launched the last 273 times without failure (beating the previous record of 100 set by Soyuz and Delta II). It’s also landed 191 times in a row without failure.
Falcon’s primary purpose is now to launch crew and cargo to the ISS, as well as launch SpaceXs Starlink satellite internet constellation.
SpaceX is developing and has launched twice their “Starship” rocket since then, which is meant to takeover from Falcon eventually and reuse both the upper stage and the first stage. Starship is over twice the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket, it’s 400ft tall and weighs about 5,000 tons when fuelled, it can lift 150t into orbit when fully reused or 300t when fully expended, making it by far the most capable rocket ever flown.
SpaceXs success set off a revolution in the space industry, and dozens if not hundreds of new space focused companies have been founded since.
A lot has happened since the days of the shuttle lol, this is the rundown on SpaceX though
The first privately-owned rocket to go into space.
@@maksphoto78 Got it. Thank you.
You have these edits out of order. The first flight is correct. The third flight appears twice after the first flight, and the second flight appears at the end where the third flight should be. Also, it would be nice if you put titles on one of the corners so we know what flight we are viewing.
They aren’t out of order.
Release the Flatardian science deniers
Almost as good as starship....Elon hasn't learnt much......
