I watched this from Cocoa Beach today. First ever for me. Now it's 2am and I'm still giddy from it. Even more impressive than I anticipated. Such a treat to see on a day like today. Wow. Thanks for the replay for me!
I like how the rocket gives itself a drumroll.
THAT was a spectacular launch
The sound was best I ever heard from a F9. What a boomer.
Very pretty launch and sounded great! Awesome tracking!
It's hard to appreciate how loud it is in recordings. If you go there, you can FEEL the roar. It is very loud.
You could do a short of that entryburn with a split screen from the tracking cam an the space X feed from the booster synchronised.😊
Good morning. Wonderful flight and congratulations your're great. ❤
That thing scoots!😮 Great sound.
very good tracking :-)
I wish they had some microphones on the drone ships, that would be epic!
Great launch. Thanks for the stream!
it's fighting plasm with fire
what a sound!! Amazing!
L'absence de soutitrage est regrettable dommage.
You intro music is so beautiful !!!
Congratulations!
Hey Arnold! is a Nickelodeon cartoon show. Yes, that IS as remote as you can get. Lol😂
I got to see it tonight over Salton City. I managed a blurry picture and looks like it made a hole in the Ionosphere.
I guess Trevor has never twirled a bucket of water on a rope.
Why is it that SpaceX is the only company / country that has developed reusable boosters?
Because they saw it's potential over ten years ago and designed Falcon 9 around it while others didn't at the time. A rocket needs to fulfill a few requirements to make booster reuse possible. It needs to have a high number of engines, at least around 7 in order to throttle low enough for a soft landing once the booster is empty and way lighter and it needs to stage early in the flight profile to allow the booster to reenter without burning up. Today a lot of other companies are also developing rockets with booster reuse similar to Falcon 9, like Blue Origin with New Glenn, Rocket Lab with Neutron, Relativity with Terran R, Stoke with Nova and Ariane group as well as Chinese and Russian Spaceflight agencies have put out concepts similar to it. Nova, Terran R and Ariane groups SUSIE are even planned to also reuse the second stage for a fully reusable rockets similar to what SpaceX is going for with Starship. These are however all still in development since they usually started way later than Falcon 9 and developing a rocket takes a long time. The earliest concrete launch date for one of these is New Glenn later this year for the ESCAPADE mission to mars.
Waited over an hour, then got the spinning no load at liftoff and missed it. 2Gb fiber, not even that far away and I get this?
Saw this irl
Wait tell us the history

We are putting way too much shit into space
