Amazing video, but please change the pixelated transition.
I think you forgot to mention the fact that plasma is opaque to radio waves.
If it weren't for that, a reentering vehicle could easily communicate with the ground just as it does in orbit.
So it's not so much the proximity of the satellites as, along with the other technology, the fact that they are above (and behind) the vehicle.
@@SayWhut276 More like NASA didn't have the opportunity.
@@SayWhut276 I'm nearly 40. I lived through the shuttle era. Michael is correct. You must be too young to know better.
😊 2:55
I love your videos but please switch the pixelated effect with another transition, it's making me dizzy
edit: typo
Seconded!
Agreed
I get the idea of why he did that, but I had to check several times if there was something wrong with my bandwidth or browser :D
stop complaining
Entitled baby
My neighbor had one of those huge backyard satellites in the 80s. I still remember the early Saturday mornings with the sun streaming in through the window, the birds chirping their happy Spring songs, and Bill next door screaming to his kid out the window "MORE TO THE RIGHT! NOW UP SOME! A LITTLE MORE. A LITTLE MORE. WAIT, THAT'S TOO MUCH, GO BACK..."
Mate, this pixelated image is not helping this video at all and only making it harder to process. Please don't do it again
P.S. i love your videos btw and thanks for your work, it's only those pixels that i could not stand :D
me too!, but maybe the pixels is good
I've been a SpaceX fanboy since around 2014. I remember watching the first starlink launch on livestream and thinking about what a daunting task this must be. (I think they were launching around 60 at a time back then)
It's amazing how fast time and progress has moved. I feel like it was mere months ago that I was hearing Tim Dodd yell live: "WATER TOWERS CAN FLY!!!"
I haven't been following them. Are they on Mars yet as it's 2024?
If you had kept up with the news you would have known that they did their first unmanned landing on mars in 2022 and will land their first manned mission this year.
You'd also know that SpaceX did their first uncrewed landing of HLS juat a couple of months ago.
Keep up! /s
@@annoyedwalrus7803If you had kept up the news, THE ROCKET FOUND LIFE
jk
@MrStringybark yes I think elon was there last week. Not sure if his returning 🤔 since the ship was made to fly to the moon. The mission called artmeis.
@@MrStringybarkNot even close. No human has gone beyond low earth orbit let alone gone to mars
I remember asking SpaceX years ago during a Falcon 9 launch if they were ever going to use Starlink receivers on their rockets for future video & telemetry. Never did get an answer at the time but it seems like we've all got one since test launch 3. :)
Hey, maybe you were the person to give them the idea! I’m going to just assume it was you all along and I just met the brilliant person who suggested this. :)
@@vosechu Ha, wouldn't that be nice? :)
Someone else has probably noted this already, but the point is that plasma obstructs radio waves. The plasma below the vehicle prevents signals going eathwards. Above and behind is not plasma- rich, so signals to satellites above are not obstructed (until the whole thing melts).
It’s remarkable to see the technology on the phrase, array, and antenna for that ship to be tumbling and switching satellites that fast to give a good feed shows that human have come along way our technology is getting better then then ever
I'm no expert in this area, but I believe the correct term is "phased array antenna". Google for that for much better information than I could come up with.
I started using star link in august, I work in north east Nigeria; and starlink is amazing.
Are you at risk from insurgents like the Boku ??
@@causewaykayak not in Maiduguri
@@clmk28Good lyck to you. My son in law worked oil in the Delta and they were on constant restrictions due to an independence movement
Boku desk a?
I've never seen gravity explained in terms of a skateboard park. Bravo!
Great coverage
Excellent video and narration. Good work 👍
One of your best explanatory videos.
Great job explaining the concept of GEO vs LEO. I know it's for visibility reason, but the scale doesn't do how close LEO is to the Earth justice. 500km vs 35,000km is a huge factor. Scale-wise, something in a LEO orbit would pass under the metal arm that holds a model globe of the Earth! Can you imagine? Very low coverage per unit but with 6000 satellites in orbit now, Starlink is a marvel. Again, well done.
Fantastic video! I learned basically Nothing I didn’t already know, and I’m still like WOW! Such a great video. I hadn’t thought about how impressive it was that Starlink stayed connected despite the rotation. -Nathan R
More good stuff. Thanks
Thank you for this informative video
Setting new records and breaking them is what SpaceX does everyday
Go SpaceX! 😍
Starship getting as high as it did is an "impossible feat"? C'mon now
oh wait ....the pixel themed video ....man that was a pain haha. thanks for the content!
I cant wait for polaris dawn and seeing how starlink will affect that mission.
Brilliant Commentary !
Why didnt we get footage from the space shuttle with plasma, recorded at the time, and handed over on landing?
NASA didn't install cameras for cool factor and livestreams. We did get some amazing stuff during the Apollo era though, such as the S2 interstage jettison and Apollo 11's launch pad camera E8. Both of those are still some of the best videos ever taken in space launch history. Cameras were still very large when Shuttle was designed. Retrofitting cameras into the exterior later on would've been a nightmare. If they needed to inspect the heat shield, which they did after Columbia, they just used a camera on the Canada Arm.
Good video. A rather abrupt ending.
Where can you watch the live streams?
That View throughout Re-entry was such a surprise to me
I missed if you mentioned the part that we can't communicate with ground on reentry. This was a problem, for the shuttle program, something about the atmosphere interference with communications.
I love your channel
Light takes about 233ms to travel to geosynchronous orbit and back. Add in some other latency for hardware and I can see how the lag would be totally terrible.
I bet there’s other constraints that hurt total bandwidth too (thought it could just be an outcome of Little’s Law)
Thanks for helping me understand part of why starlink is so much lower latency!
Dramatic continuous improvement.
Make the impossible possible, that is what SpaceX is doing! Thank you for this informative video
@13:48 Wow!!! Nice animation with the rotation axis of the earth 90deg tilted!! Jupiter got out of his orbit or a mega meteor/rock passed by? Very scientific.
So Africa, South America, Hawaii and Australia will now have Aurora Tropicalis. When they got a Ice Shell it is Arora Borealis again. Luckely with that rotation axis there will not be an ozon hole anymore.
Amazing
Before the ionization layer made it impossible but now internet skyfi changes everything
Outstanding! Best channel on CZcams!! Thank you for this easy to understand breakdown!
In the grand scheme of things we are just at the stage like our ancestors who first leave an island and successfully built a big canoe (the age of sail is probably something like solar sail and the steam engine is probably sub-light engine and the first air plane is like hyperspace!)
A solid video.
0:26 - In a short period when the USA considered solar power satellites, which would have been enormous, a range of concepts for _very_ heavy, fully reusable "freighters" was very seriously considered. For example, one from Boeing (in the days when Boeing still could do great things) which consisted of two large stages, bigger than SH/SS, but which landed like a Shuttle orbiter, rather than propulsevely. When the idea of "power from space" was abandoned, so were these brutes - trere was no viable mission for them. Skeptics say, neither there is one for Starship.
0:37 - Now, this _is_ a big deal! It has been attempted multiple times before, from something simple as Iridium on, but everyone so far went bankrupt. Starlink uptake is much slower than anticipated, and Starshield contract is a lifeline thrown to SpaceX by Uncle Sam (that is, taxpayers) once again.
What impossible did they do ????
burn the starship
I remember those big satellites 😅
The video quality is all over the place. Space X provides crystal clear 1080p footage, and you pixelate it, why?
The old space shuttle ok so you're telling me there's a new one.
That was about 10 minutes too long.
Plasma shields radio transmission. Before, the ground was talking to the ship directly and would be blocked by the plasma, now starlink net is able to talk to it from above when the plasma shieilds it from direct ground communication.
The mass of the earth is not dependent on having a giant ball of iron or anything else, gravity is caused by the mutual attraction of any thing at all that has mass it does not have to be iron. (Conventional explanation).
Nice video! Maybe one day we use spaceship to go to Titan, one of the biggest moon of Saturn. I did a video about it😊
Amazing content, thank you. Maybe loose the pixelated transitions.
I love the channel, but I didn’t enjoy the pixelisation effect during the edits
Great job
btw i love your videos. Thank you for sharing awsome content related to space.
Ever hear of compensating thrusters? Starship should adapt a lesson from Apollo! 😢
Thx.
13:14 and with out heat shierds the ship is Doomed
Great video! I have to correct you on one aspect though, the molecules in the upper atmosphere are predominantly gaseous in phase, not 'solid' 👌
I suggest you listen to the dialog again - the phrase was "solid molecules". Yes, the atmosphere is gaseous but the individual molecules themselves are arguably "solid". Perhaps a bit of poetic license is required but the phrase (and animation), effectively conveyed the buildup of resistance to motion, especially to a non-scientific audience.
Great topic and treatise but the pixelation is super annoying
Just having a black box onboard to record reentry would make reentry video possible. Starlink made it real time but we absolutely have materials that could protect a SSD through uncontrolled reentry.
"Just having a black box onboard to record reentry would make reentry video possible"
Yeah, right. Now go find it somewhere in the Indian Ocean!
The impossible being failing 22 times to reach orbit with an heavy rocket?
I would agree to that, but nobody thought it was impossible.
Your point about a 500km orbit being so close is true, but looking at your image of the earth, you can see that 500km would actually be about 1/10th the distance that you show, and would really drive that point home better, I think.
I find it interesting to reflect (especially each time i see SpaceX or one its predecessors land vortically, i.e., tail first) on one of the Dwarfs who were absolute certain that those landings were all faked. But, for those of us who were raised in around the space race and were able to see this countries on virtually a daily basis, who knew those who were closely connected with the efforts , and great strides we made each to get this country into space, had details of the efforts and hard work at every level of science and the related industry and could follow the progress that was made almost daily with some degree of confidence and respect for the progress we as a country made and all done despite serious political and even social objections to who we were and what we did as a nation and as a people.
Cool info!! All makes perfect sense to, now!!
Sandy wheat said that's awesome
2:52 Port of Beruit???
pretty sure the Beirut port explosion is the largest non nuclear explosion in history... 2:50
So many UT folks make this statement - It looks impressive. Take a peep at the WW2 bomb dump explosion at the Faulds Ammunition Store (DMU) in England. Safety blast doors kept the explosion confined to the one underground gallery. I think the rest of the place is still in use. It left quite a hole.
@@causewaykayakThe same was said about an explosion in a NYC port facility caused by German agents during World War II.
@@user-li7ec3fg6hThanks for that. Will go check it out .
The nasa was the first one to show re entry from space craft when the space shuttle was in service we coud see the plasma on the windows of the shuttle
Not live as it happened, though.
And NASA was still receiving data from the Shuttle and voice coms can be heard on the recordings.
First, I was a bit angry because it appeared to be a very good Starlink ad --- but I'd say the whole thing or a global low earth orbit satellite internet makes sense. With the popularity of Starlink --- more people talk about mega-constellations. Actually nearly every launcher wants them. Kind of orbital roads --- or roads in orbit --- too bad no one has thought of building and using them for energy transmission. Okay, there were and are plans for photovoltaic/solar plants in geostationary orbit but kind of "beaming" power around would probably make sense too --- if on one site there's too much and somewhere there's a real shortage.
Hey, Candarm. What great Canada space news do you have (crickets). Lol
We really desperately need collaboration from Artemis signatories..
What happened with the resolution? This time it was really bad.
I think the animator was going for an 8-bit effect, like an old Nintendo... Might not have worked out the greatest...
@@TheSpaceRaceYT yeah. I was even thinking it was a problem here with my settings. It was a great content, but, only this time, not so great to watch.
Yeah this effect makes it hard to watch
Understandable. We encourage people to experiment and see what happens. Sometimes it works out great. We'll try and fine tune that effect if we ever do it again.
@@TheSpaceRaceYT it totally happens. I'm not complaining, since there were always good videos here. But if something doesn't work out, it's good to let you know. Cheers
Wow so the camera is invulnerable to the heat of re-entry and escape velosity.
Must be made of vibranium..
Why waa i expecting SpaceUK 😅
It is also impossible to burn a spacecraft designed not to burn on reentry in this era.
This capability seems making them militarily significance such as controlling hypersonic glide vehicles during reentry plasma?!
That’s so funny I’m a chef at one taste it ones love it forever
HughesNet lmao. Poor guy
Honestly the title is misleading. Based on mathematics it's was possible for Starship to do the things that it has accomplished it was just never before seen/conceived for a massive object like starship to fly in the sky.
Great explanation! Very concise and understandable.
Remember, Canadarm when Elon first left South Africa he went to Canada. Remember that, Canadarm? Wa happa? Lol
Why is Starship made of stainless steel instead of Al or carbon fiber?
Stainless steel is cheaper and more heat resistant.
An impossible feat MEANS THAT IT CAN'T BE DONE.
Is there a way to re-enter the atmosphere without creating plasma. Is there anyway to slow down and fall back down to earth without reentry heating
Yes, a slow speed repulsive direct entry, not an entry based on orbital mechanics. At the moment this would require a pretty hefty use of rocket fuel.
N1 blast certainly no where near Halifax (WW1 ammunition ship), nearing 3kt tnt (6 million pounds) - I don't think the N1 even had that much fuel! Double-check claims like this.
I have a bad feel Starship will end like the N1
Why? Because of the amount of engine's?
@@SDGreg Well more accurately I feel it'll end like the Space Shuttle. It may fly, but not be anywhere as reusable as promised, with the heat-tiles causing significant problems, and this is at best.
@@daniel4412 SpaceX has shown with the Falcon 9 that they have a excellent ability to take information from flights and then incorporate into continuous improvements for flight vehicles. The Falcon-9 has become the most reliable and cost effective MLV that US aerospace has ever flown. Starship is a huge jump in capability and full reusability is a very difficult engineering problem to solve in spaceflight. Considering SpaceX's proven capability with the Falcon-9 I think they are the best positioned aerospace company to tackle the technically complex engineering of full reusability for a SHLV. I don't think they will achieve the rapid reusability part of less than 24-hour turn around for hardware. However I think they will be able to achieve full reusability just not initially. I think for Artemis 3 for the Starship spacecraft they will have to go with a expendable version of that flight vehicle to meet the requirements for initial HLS flight contract. They will be able to achieve reusability for the Super Heavy stage since it is a much more easier problem to solve than bringing a spacecraft back down from orbit. Musk has stated on X "A super reliable, light, reusable heat shield is the biggest technical challenge remaining for Starship". NASA is having Heat-shield problems with the Orion spacecraft's ablative TPS despite all the knowledge of how to bring spacecraft back to Earth from the Moon. NASA lost a Shuttle because of TPS issues. It is a difficult engineering problem to solve.
Thank God , Our world is gifted with Elon’s genius ability to innovate our way into space race . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🧘🏽♀️🙏🏼
Winning the space race is so American 🇺🇸
Slower orbital speeds at higher orbits has more to do with the distance for the object to fall than it has to do with diminished gravity. An orbit is essentially something falling back to Earth but having enough horizontal velocity to miss the Earth so the object stays in orbit. Higher orbits can have a slower horizontal velocity because it takes a lot longer for the object to fall the distance to the earth.
Get rid of the music, it's especially distracting/annoying if you are waiting for the "buried" lead. (Unfortunately people think adding music makes the presentation better - the problem with that is the opposite is true and further, the music indicates that the presentation is weak.
Saying these things are impossible is a lie, it is only no one did it before due their own lack of resources and/or personal motivation.
One correction it has nothing to do with the ball of iron all of the matter on earthe is responsible for its gravity the ball of molten iron is just responsible for the magneto sphere
yep - earth is 32% iron, so not the majority of the cause of the gravity well
@@willdarling1 well it is the majority no other sibgular element is responsible for more of the earths mass but the point is that regardless of how much iron there is the other stuff is just as responsible for the earths gravity
There is no gravity in space 😊 the metal is inside the moon which is under the soil. Also the moon is smaller than a pea compared to the sun which is size of a melon 🍈. The last place for the metal is jupiter but that one is gas cloud.
it's impossible to do the impossible
Not impossible if they just did it...
There is no such thing as “Doing the impossible”!!! If you’ve done it…it’s not impossible!!!
first comment.
That was a great episode and very clear to understand. Thanks
Im late
That really was something completely new and absolutely breathtaking pictures during FST-03.
It is reminiscent of NASA's fast data transmission via laser at the end of last year. Until now, data transfer rates from satellites exploring the solar system have been quite low. Due to the old technical possibilities and the limitations of the Deep Space Netword ground system, which is now completely overloaded anyway and from which the control commands also have to be sent. The new data transmission rate not only makes it possible to transmit far more data far more faster, but we no longer need the completely overloaded receiving system, as this can now be intercepted with many telescopes. This really is a quantum leap aka game changer and we will probably now be able to receive video transmissions from satellites exploring the moons of Jupiter or Saturn, for example.
Very good video, as always from this great channel. Thank you very much for your very good work and good luck for the future! 😊
Yeah, "kind of"... you CANNOT avoid falling into a gravity well but if you're going fast enough, you can keep falling ahead of the planet. Isaac Newton understood this, why don't you?
Bro tries to show us HD videos using VCD player :)
Thank you great job two thumbs up😊😊😊😊😊
Space X needs to hurry up with this ship
What's the hurry ?
@@causewaykayakChina
They can't even get out of Low Earth Orbit. NASA was sending Saturn V's into lunar orbit in just over a year.
@@insanusmaximus2857 With a budget wayy beyond what we have today. The Starship is a whole new rocket of course they have to test it to make sure every thing is in check.
@@insanusmaximus2857with nearly unlimited government funding.
And then nothing (with respect to the moon) for the last 50 years.
As they say, cheap, fast, good: choose two.
Apollo was fast and good, but insanely expensive.
Starship will be good, but as a privately-funded project it takes longer.
(Yes, the government is helping, but not at nearly the level of traditional procurement.)
What is ULA's excuse?
They are not impossible feats, if they were impossible then they couldn't happen. Amazing feats maybe, but not impossible.
