- Aerospace company Relativity Space launched the world's first 3D-printed rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Wednesday, but it did not make it to orbit.
What about getting into orbit, but more importantly the re entry and withstanding the heat.
This really is a huge game changer in the space race error!!!
I would like to know who's money did they use in order to make this 3D printing project because if it was my money I wouldn't say it's a complete success at all
It's not nasa, nor any other government space agency, so it wasn't taxpayers' money. Though, if i had the option to use my taxes to pay for more space exploration options, then i would do that in a heartbeat.
I'm beginning to think this country has a serious wealth management problem. I wonder if Rome told it's people that it was too big to fail just before the fall🤔
You are so right! A huge problem, wealthwise and mental wise.
We definitely do. NASA needs more money, not less. Space exploration is the most important thing humanity can do, and our government uses our money mainly for things like military power and leaves less than 1% of that money for NASA.
But it's a good thing private companies like SpaceX and Relativity (the ones who made and launched this 3D printed rocket) exist because they don't have to rely on government funding to progress our species forward.
@@HossLUK give me just one example of why and how space travel is important
@@chrisp308 literally almost everything we have today is a direct result of us going to the moon. Everything with a microchip, the internet, MRI machines, earth day and the environmental protection movement was created because of the moon missions giving us a perspective of our planet no one in history has ever seen before. Almost every single aspect and field of life was change when we went to the moon. Just to the moon. Now imagine what happens when we go to mars and then beyond mars. We will gain answers to questions we dont even know to ask yet. We will gain technology and medicine we can't even imagine yet. Terraforming Mars and other planets will give us the knowledge, technology and ability to turn earth back into earth, without the need for every single human to cooperate in order to prevent and reverse climate change.
Also, becoming a multiplanitary species will drastically increase life's chances for survival when the next extinction event occurs. Because it doesn't matter how clean we keep the earth and if we solve world hunger and finally gain world peace. An asteroid will destroy all of it in an instant. So will the magnetic poles flipping, or a gamma ray burst, or a massive solar flare. All are things that will happen eventually. Its not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Also, exploring space will certainly give us the technology to defend our planet from some of these extinction events. Saving all life.
Becoming multiplanitary will also completely solve overpopulation.
Space exploration is also the only chance humanity has at seeing itself as one species instead of different nations. As even though it was America that went to the moon, we all saw it as humanity that went to the moon. This gave us the first spark of global cooperation and working together as one species. The ISS is the perfect example for space exploration bringing us together as a species, not keeping us seperate as nations.
You only wanted one example, but you can't just have one example when talking about the benefits of space exploration. The benefits are literally limitless. Staying here, we doom all life to death. Exploring space, we give all life a chance to survive and grow. We progress life and solve problems through exploration and finding new technologies, new methods, and new points of views, not by sitting in one place. It is in our nature to explore. It is what we were made to do, and without it, we have no purpose or future. Life itself would have no future. It could very well be our sole purpose to spread life across the universe. This is why space exploration is by far the most important and urgent thing humanity needs to do as soon as possible.
Shouldn't someone had known the material wouldn't last? I'm not a rocket scientist. But someone is paid to be.
Maybe the scientists should have consulted you. It seems you have all the right answers ahead of time.
@@cestmoi1262, I said I'm not a rocket scientist. Someone is paid to figure it out.
The engine didn't ignite; the main structures were fine. Successful rocket engines have been printed before 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The material lasted, that's why they used it, and that was the point of this launch. To prove that a 3D printed rocket could endure the stresses of MaxQ, and it surpassed that mark and then some. So the launch was a success and even more than that. The only reason it didn't get to orbit was because the second stage engine did not light for some reason. But the point of the launch was not orbit. It was MaxQ, and it did it beautifully on its first try. Something that neither SpaceX nor NASA can claim with any of their rockets. So, this was a historic launch and a success in every way.
@@HossLUK, thanks for explaining very well.
Every comment on here is absurd and is made by someone who is unlikely to have made or done anything notable in their entire existence and most likely hasn't left their parents basement. Innovation like this is hard there are a million ways to fail, but only one way to succeed. Watch SpaceX's fist 3 launches, all exploded in much more dramatic fashion. These guys are doing great.
Cool, ok, but give me the real thing. Original is the way. That's like making a 3D of me. 😅
So it failed huh?
Exactly lol
No, it surpassed what they were testing. The test was to prove a 3D printed rocket could withstand the incredible forces of MaxQ, and it surpassed that phase of the launch by a large margin. It also made a successful reentry, which is just mind-blowing. No other rocket has made such incredible strides on its first launch. Not SpaceX, not NASA, not anyone. It was a success in every way.
I saw it launch it was so cool❤😅
Great story and reporting 🎉
