  • With the BFR rocket set to be the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, it will take an enormous effort to transport it from the factory to the launch site. This video covers every possible method that could be used to transport the rocket.

      A bit risky, though. It also has to have good weather on both sides to launch and land, but at least the transit time is in the ballpark of within an hour. The question here is where do they launch from? I do not think that the Vandenberg pads can handle something that greatly exceeds the thrust of a Space Shuttle launch (BFR: 52.7 MN; STS: 30.2 MN)

    For the first few BFRs, they will be transported by boat. After the reliability has been established, they will transport themselves. Unlike previous rockets, BFR is completely reusable and no parts will be jettisoned during flight.

      I am here to tell you what a fantastic this it is to get to watch a launch. I grew up just outside of Sacramento where they developed and made the original rocket motors all the way from the Gemini to the Saturn rocket motors and Growing up I can not remember very often we did not have broken windows in our home from the sound of those motors being tested. I never had seen a real launch till moved to Florida 20 years ago. We had a home in Orlando and we could watch the space shuttles take off from Kennedy Space Center. We lived 50 miles as the crow flies from the coast and I am here to tell you that a night lift off was always a real treat! You could see it without any problem. The ground would get bright like day and then the rocket would take off and you could see the super bright light at the tail of the rocket and all the way up you could see a lovely pink (yes pink not red or white like most people would expect) trail as it left earth for the heavens.
      Now that the shuttles are done we do not get to see that type of thing so everyone here is looking to the new age of rockets. You will love it, it is fantastic

    If you’ve ever travelled east or west on Interstate 10 at the LA/MS line, you’ve crossed the Pearl River. This bridge, if you noticed, rises way higher than it has to, almost 80 feet. This is because of 2 NASA Centers nearby, one that built the Saturn V first stage (Michoud in LA) and the other (Stennis in MS) that static-fired all 5 F1s on the S1C before heading to KSC.
    This is about to happen again with SLS, with 4 RS25s.

      Giovanni Pezzino It's frustrating, the amount of work, years, and things move at a snail's pace. But it's because, though SLS looks similar to Apollo in many ways, it's a brand new vehicle. All the technology is different, even the the SSMEs have been reworked. Lots of challenges. But it is happening. These two centers haven't been this busy since the 1960s.

We should be better then the private companies (Space-X). They have no real loyalties to the country. They are not the USA and they don't carry the American pride nor should they. NASA is a political animal that should be put out to pasture, The space force is coming and ya don't need two space agencies. I say, I say I could be wrong.

      1. He has taken these clips from someone who has made some concept videos on how the BFR would look in real life (and I would be really interested in seeing it)
      or
      2. He has worked himself on those clips (and in that case he has made a great work, especially in the static fire one, because if you weren't interested in space you couldn't probably tell it was just another video with a BFR slapped on)

      You do have a point but these days with new computing technologies and safety protocols the likelihood of the BFR aborting in midflight is rather unlikely. Also they will have tested every part of the rocket and SpaceX has pioneered the skill needed to manufacture these rockets and land them from past learning experiences with the Falcon 9 rockets.

      professorchaos19 OMG, can't anyone do the math, use 21st century technology and think in 3 dimensions? 1000mph is 4% of orbital velocity. West to east launches were used to provide a greater margin of error for 1961's control and guidance technology and flying brick horizontal returns with redundant return sites. Since then only NASA's launch philosophy hasn't evolved..
      SpaceX has demonstrated control that can land a vertically returning automated rocket with a precision of better than +/- 2 meters to an unanchored barge in coastal waters.
      Test flights could be southward from California or Mexico's western coasts with a 2% fuel penalty to orbit, and 2% to deorbit, and provide a vastly larger sea buffer than launching eastward from Florida.

The N-1 rocket was designed to be assembled at Baikonur, something which the similarly sized BFR cannot afford since it will be fully built (spun) at San Pedro.

      To be more clear, rockets launch towards the east, so as to gain earth's rotation as free speed. That's why you can't launch from the west coast unless you are going for a Polar launch, then you can launch South from the west coast and go into polar orbit. The launch sites are chosen according to the orbits that want to be reached from that launchpad. I mean you could launch west from the west coast but it'll cost you quite a bit of energy (You'll loose about 1000 mph assuming a launch site on the equator. Israel does launch into retrograde orbits because that's the only option, without dropping stages on Lebanon and so on...

    • @pssst3

      Scientists have trouble understanding the relationships between MANY things, but their lack of understanding doesn't make those things unreal. We've been studying water weather and pests for thousands of years and still cannot accurately predict where it will rain, how fast the wind will blow, who will get bit by a mosquito. Yet rain, mosquitoes, and wind that we cannot see, are real. We know that air and wind are real because of their effects. We use those effects, without being able to see air.
      People who most Americans would consider to be primitive savages understood thousands of year ago that the Earth was surrounded by things "in the sky" and understood that the Earth moved among them. They had a better understanding of the number and relative positions of the planets planets and asteroids of our star than our scientists did in the 19th century. We have no idea how they knew this, and we are just now catching up with what they knew. What is holding us back are people who close their minds to EVERYTHING that conflicts with their unsupported opinions and beliefs.
      When someone refuses to acknowledge something that exists, by its common name and well-documented characteristics, and defends that refusal, using as an excuse that someone else doesn't understand it better than they do, that's willful ignorance. Open minded people readily admit that they don't know everything, that they they make mistakes. Closed minded ones don't, and they will stand in the way blocking those who are open minded from acting on new information.
      When people are willfully ignorant, they do things that have predictable consequences that could harm themselves, believing that their refusal to think protects them. They build over known earthquake fault lines, along recently flooded perimeters of major rivers, on low-lying ocean front properties where hurricanes are known to destroy homes every decade, in forests that produce super fires that destroy everything because they are prevented from burning off the underbrush every 10-15 years.
      Willfully ignorant people look around, and say "no problem yet, I don't believe anything will happen" all the way up to the rime when the completely predictable event occurs and they lament about "losing everything".
      "No problem yet" is what a man who slipped off a scaffold of a 10 story building while washing windows, moving under the influence of a mysterious force, said as he passed open windows of the lower floors.
      It doesn't matter what you call a universal phenomenon that causes objects to move toward each other in a calculable manner. Whether you call it a force or the will of God is irrelevant. Whether you understand why it works is irrelevant, because it works upon everyone and everything, educated and ignorant, religious or atheist, animate or inanimate in exactly the same, consistent way.
      When you refuse to consider what "on everything" implies, then you aren't just willfully ignorant, but also a fool.
