I worked at Rocketdyne Boeing back in the '90s. Whenever there was a successful shuttle launch someone would make an announcement over the PA that usually went something like "The space shuttle Atlantis launched this morning, congratulations on a job well done." But I guess the usual announcer was out sick or something one time, so they had one of the security guards make the announcement, and I'll never forget it. "The space shuttle ATLAS lunched, [sic] congadiations on a well job done." And I thought, "oh great, the well job is finally done."
I worked for Lockheed and Rolls-Royce at Stennis Space Center from 2004-2012. Drove by the Rocketdyne facility every day on my way into work. I'll never forget the last Shuttle mission. Had a big announcement.
I'll bet the fact that it was a security guard that did that made everyone feel real secure.
I would enjoy a nice lunch and congadiations.
I feel like this is just blue collar shaming and I'm not about it. Gross. Crap like this is exactly why nothing gets built in America anymore and the country is crippled by college debt... your generation convinced my generation that everyone without a college degree was a lowlife moron and now we have no economy. So, congrats on that.
I worked for Harris RF Communications and that is again a misnomer.
A *_30 minute_* deep space update? Yes please
30 hour update when
Wish it was an hour!
@@therocinante3443watch it twice lol
@@joshuacheung6518Maybe after he has retired from Apple... 😅
It's a deep dive into space. ;)
In the first clip, the Chinese rocket was using its attitude thrusters almost right away as it cleared the tower. Very interesting.
Yeah, why presses R that early?
Like come on, you low in the atmosphere you only need fins and SAS
Ye
@@hacknwack4065
Not at that low of a speed, it wouldn't have enough air flow over fins that small to get an immediate correction.
If Kerbal taught me anything, it's to start the gravity turn eeeaaaaarly.
First ever Eurovision Dragon flight, nice
the physics of a ship handling a launch blast sounds interesting
Tried to look if it dipped but from the clip wasn't sure. More info about this would be great.
SpaceX had the idea of oilrigs as lauchpads and thought that was plausible if those were to latched to seafloor, but a ship, that's interesting.
It's gotta be very similar to a barge crane where they have very fast ballast pumps keeping it as level as possible while it is launching
Keep in mind that the ship is *massive*. Yes, the rocket motors are exerting a lot of force... but not all that much considering that they're launching off what looks like a converted oil tanker, and it's riding low enough that it's obviously heavily ballasted.
That ship/platform is 22,000 tons. The thrust of Gravity-1 is 600+ tons.
It’s a filthy burning rocket. That black smoke and dust looks horrendous.
Gravity-1 has got to be the most unhinged ksp rocket ive ever seen, im quite surprised it worked at all
It’s pretty simple. I think KSP players don’t give themselves enough credit. In principle, more boosters does work!
It even blew up the launch pad at liftoff lol
Why wouldn’t it work? It’s all solid rockets.
And like most solid rockets, it moves *fast*.
@@markuskoivisto I was expecting the aerodynamic forces to rip it apart cause the first stage is all solid fuel and you won't want that cause solid fuel is too op for a rocket like Gravity-1, the design alone would have expert engineers think that it won't be stable at all
The chinese ugly duckling is actually a small mule: not the best looking but can carry a lot of weight. I love it!
It reminds me of the rockets I used to draw or make out of Lego when I was a kid.(I've never had a great sense of proportions)
Yeah,that's a classical shape rocket from a child's stereotype.adorable.
@@AwardQueue LOL
I actually thought it looked cool. Unusual, yes. But ugly? No, I really think it looks cool, especially from that drone shot that looks above it at 4:12
The ugly rockets are all the straightwalled cylinders, not the ones with curves
Hahaha😂😂😂😂 ugly? Do you know what the meaning of ugly? Look at the rocket design and shape. If It's ugly? How about SpaceX? It looks like an old steel box🤣🤣🤣🤣 no design, no colour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤮
Is this the Deepest Space Update?
No, he talked about Uranus before.
The Gravity-1 launch is definitely an eye candy. Somehow the stubby shape of the rocket and the massive cloud of exhaust makes it feels very powerful.
i tried really hard back at the shop to make it 6ton LEO
I enjoyed meeting you and taking with you for about 90 secs. Dope set and sick video sequence. Glad you had fun over in my part of the country! 🤘🏻✌🏻
Hello, Scott. Thank you for highlighting Alper Gezeravci, who became Turkey's first astronaut. We are really proud, but we are also fully aware that we make no contribution to the mission. It's also humorous to note that the debate over whether Turkey is European or Asian continues even on the brink of deep space. Fly safe...
No contribution? Can you explain that?
I got half way through and I'm coming back to watch the rest tomorrow. So much awesome insight, info and energy! So cool to see you rocking it!
Awesome update! Thanks a ton. It was cool seeing you do the DJ thing and hearing about your unexpected visit to Firefly, very cool!
I think this is the earliest ive ever caught one of your videos!
WOWZERS thats a long one!
Respect to you for showing us your DJ dancing Scott!
Would love to find/hear this 15?song set on SoundCloud or the like.
13:15 Subcontracting a glorified door to Boing might not be best right now ...
What fun! Love your intelligent space reporting, and your DJ spirit busting loose! ✊
I'd love to have Scott Manley as a DJ.
Great update video Scott. Looking forward to hearing more about your firefly tour.
9:28 what a beautiful experience
Boeing should not be in charge of working on any pressurized hatches for a while ...
Thanks so much for creating and sharing this informative and timely video. Great job. Keep it up.
Where do I sign up for this whole "yo, meteor about to go boom in the sky" list? That's one source of notifications I can approve of 🤣
Great video Scott, it was great to meet you in Austin, and your DJ skills were Fire! Especially loved how the explosions lined up with the lyrics
"Fire" as a fad synonym for "great" can't die soon enough.
@@Digital-Dan considering the video of reference was all rockets lifting off and things exploding to the song firework. it has a double meaning. If you had attended you would get that.
Scott, thanks for sharing yet another excellent video! 🙂😎🤓❤
You know, on one hand, February 14 would be so romantic.
Nothing like a successful Starship going up to set the mood.
On the other hand, many people throughout the world will be participating in Ash Wednesday.
If you dig omens, launching a rocket on a day known for ashes and humility is asking for trouble.
It _is_ a suborbital launch, meaning it's going to burn up on reentry, which makes it right on theme for Ash Wednesday.
@@bewilderbeestieI didn’t know that all suborbital flights burn up. Rest in peace to all New Shepherd and Spaceship 2 passengers 😢
@@bewilderbeestie actually, if all goes well, the booster and Starship will 'land' in the gulf and Pacific
@@bewilderbeestieYes, it's a well known fact that neither Alan Shepard nor Gus Grissom survived their Mercury flights
Classy move from Firefly!
Great to see Europe and China working together
Finishing the set with Days Go By - what a banger choice! Sounds like a great party.
I would kill for a scott manley boiler room/tiny desk style dj set
I really love the ongoing enthusiasm of Scott. Despite of his vast knowledge he is still happy like a child for everything with space & rockets. He is a role model.
like a leaf on the wind, watch how i soar
Nice new top Scott!
Hah! Never knew that you were a DJ-type-person :)
Good video Scott, as always.
Oo-oo! You did the walkaround at Firefly? Cool. And yes, it's all under NDAs and stuff, I guess. But all new news is useful and interesting, so thank you.
Thank god for Scott manly
Thanks for all the updates, Scott! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
You’ve seriously got the dance moves Scott
What a great report 🎉
Thanks Scott!
As always, great space news content
At 7:21, thanks for the Eurovision reference on behalf of Sweden Scott.
I'd love to see a video detailing the global launch cadence of sub-orbital and orbital launches through history to today. It feels like we have such a different rate of launches now to anything in history, but that might just be because we have so much ease of access to information now.
Another great deep space updates!
sounds like a great dj lineup
Hell yeah! High Contrast's "Days Go By" is a TUNE!
Gravity 1 is the most KSP-looking rocket I've seen in the real world.
WHAT!? Scott Manley played LEFTFIELD as a DJ? That is AWESOME.
Days go by? What a legend!
DJ Scott's mixtape would be 🔥
You are DJSM ...... Play safe 😎👍😎
The gravity 1 looks straight out of KSP😅
china has been doing a lot of these sea launches , very interesting stuff.
Better than letting the rockets fall back down on their farmers.
Yea, I especially like "An educational satellite for a Chinese university", yea right, their spy school maybe.
What does this comment supposed to mean? I would think an all solid fuel rocket provides an opportunity to discuss the pros and cons.
It might be interesting to do a video comparing the forces of launching a rocket from a ship vs landing on one (such as Falcon 9 first stage).
Regarding turkey spanning 2 continents, that depends on your definitions. Assuming you consider europe and asia to be separate continents (as opposed to (afro-)eurasia), the border is typically taken to run through the Ural mountains, but that only gets you to the Caspian Sea. You can then go through the Caucasus mountains to the Black Sea, and through the Bosporus to the Mediterranean, but that's just one option. Another one is to cut straight to the Mediterranean, including the Anatolian peninsula in europe.
I know the Europe-Asia borders have moved around over time, but those were the land borders, I've not seen a widely accepted definition that didn't delineate the Asia-Europe border along the Bosporous strait and black sea.
Boeing building something that requires secure doors? Thats a bold call, lets see how that works out for them.
I hope you're doing an Ingenuity video soon Scott, it really deserves one.
Such a cool episode. Please address the flame color difference between BE4 blue vs Raptor2 pink.
That's the difference in film cooling on the engines. As of now, Raptor uses a lot more film cooling on its nozzle+throat, while BE-4 doesn't do that. As a result BE-4 has a much cleaner flame.
However, recently SpaceX has been testing Raptor without film cooling, and its exhaust turns blue.
And that green flame.
@@MichaelWinter-ss6lx -doesn't green mean its burning 'engine rich'?
@@Kevin-hb7yq Not sure, but on ignition some engines might use something called TEA-TEB to light it, and I think that has a green flame? Or it could be engine rich exhaust.
Oxygen gives off green colours, so the exhaust may be unreacted oxygen residue. So oxygen rich flame. Also, the protective flims in the engine nozzles may colour the exhaust flame as they are eroded by the exhaust jet. There can also be different colours being added together to get a rainbow of colours when light of different colours are mixed like on an artists pallet of different pigments as an analogy. White light is made up of all the visual spectrum colours.
Those launches China does from that mountain site always look awesome!
Everyone loves a little DJ Shadow.
Considering that the Ottoman Empire was the "sick man of Europe" before WWI, I think Turkey counts as Europe.
Love the reference to the ESC.
I love your firefly vest! Me want one. Firefly and Rocketlab have the best logo and design (and paint jobs for their rockets). So basically there no true Delay into artemis, just seting back the real timeline into place slowly to satisfied the old political reasons.
That's a hell of a Comcast zing! :D
Just two hours ago Blue Origin released a photo of the New Glenn 1st stage and 2nd stage being mated together at LC-36.
Yeah, after I recorded this I realised I had forgotten to talk about New Glenn rollout, but, it was already too darn long.
Too long of a scottmanley video ?? Get that thought out of your head !!@@scottmanley
@@scottmanley I get the impression from the comments that "too darn long" wouldn't be long enough.
Every week more launches and cool info... Feels a bit like we are entering a pre- gold rush stage. Preparing communications, multiple countries developing new tech... Sadly we will not live long enough to see space empires, but we will probably see (or become) the first "pioneers"
so cool about the meteor!
Impulse's offeering is really incredible for SpaceX becuse it essentially patches a lot of the suposed "lacking capabilities" of the falcon 9's direct insertions.
Once again making me further wonder what the actual point of vulkan is considering it already loses to falcon heavy in terms of costs.
Vulcan has one main advantage which is the fairing is about 3x larger by volume. It's almost %50 larger then the upgraded fairing space x is working on for the falcon rockets. So it can carry payloads that have a larger diameter.
To help prevent monopolization, the DoD requires at least two independent launch providers. Since New Glenn still hasn’t flown the only choices the DoD has for large payloads are Falcon Heavy and Vulcan.
Also, as Scott mentioned Impulse is marketing their tug as launch vehicle agnostic. So, you are correct that it will help Falcon 9 that’s true for other launch vehicles as well.
I'm not convinced those big rocket companies won't just develop their own additional upper stages rather than letting a competitor create momentum to build their own first stages.
@@frankmalenfant2828 that would be the logical step for people that believe in vertical integration as much as possible.
That's not how most people think.
Space is hard, it's time consuming, and it is very very expensive. For the launch company the balance sheet does not really change. They still get paid just the same for launching the payload and it's third stage. But the benefit is it spares them the burden of needing to come up with a dedicated solution themselves. Which historically speaking is what space companies tended on choosing.
@@mobiuscoreindustries That's how Musk and Bezos works. It seems to me that hinges on NASA and the US government ability to enable competition
At 18:33, that’s some good shade.
Ive been subbed to your channel for close to 10 years now... AND ONLY TODAY DO I LEARN YOU HAD A DJ CAREER ???
I cannot help noticing that in the image on Scott's homepage above his photo are the words "Scott Manley....Astronomer Scotsman Hacker Gamer DJ." Sure, it is not an exhaustive list, since it does not include father & pilot, but DJ has been there for a long while.
The LM-7A was supposed to eventually replace the LM-2F for launching the Shenzhou spacecraft, but it looks like the LM-10 which is currently in development will be taking over that role.
17:18 It's like a bow is designed to shoot arrows, and if you release the bow string from tension without a load it will actually damage the bow. Maybe the logic applies to the rocket too.
Lucky boy getting to visit Firefly!😎
I didn't know you were a DJ! And techno too? Cool!
I am not a big fan of lock nuts, it is difficult to properly tighten them to a torque spec. A castlelled nut is superior with cotter pin in this situation.
Merci!
Chinas rocket doesn’t look more weird than the Blue Origin Rocket
I love your life man... you are bad ass.
Thanks Scott. Much appreciated. 🙂👍
Love the technicality about the place of birth of the Turkish astronaut relative to the Bosphore! 😂👍
Gravity-1 looks aaawesome!
Sounds like a heck of DJ set!!! One former DJ to another. Cheers!
Your the best thankyou ❤️👀🌎👍
Turns out Marcus Wandt is not only the third Swede to visit space, after Christer Fuglesang and Jessica Meir. He has double citizenship due to his mother being Norwegian, so technically that also makes him the first Norwegian in space. Must feel a bit like cheating to any other aspiring Norwegian astronauts, but that's just the way it is.
I count him as No:4. The first one being Buzz Aldrin whose grandfather was a Swedish immigrant.
Christer Fuglesang's father is actually Norwegian.
Wow I thought those blue Mach diamonds were just a lens effect that’s crazy
Thanks Scott! I’m glad you had a good trip and got a chance to flex your DJ muscles! 👍
Scott hits Cheshire Catt mode at Firefly 😁
You mentioned that you can't focus xrays. From what I understand, the Chandra Xray observatory does actually focus xrays using gold (coated) mirrors or something else; but it must in fact focus the xrays to a point.
He said that x-rays can be focused but they are not reflected by traditional mirrors
Cool, I missed that important bit. Thanks for clarification; I thought I was loosing my mind. @@shanent5793
Hey Scott did you ever do the Lego for Eve's Rifter? I notice a lot of deep cuts to the good ol days in this video, got me thinking about your old stuff.
Enjoyed seeing you and Todd at the Astra Awards🚀
Good on the Firefly folk.
Damn a scott Manley dj session?! I fly cross country for that 🎉
In a polar vortex of ice.
21:31 This has actually been advertised a lot here in New Zealand.
Vodafone (now One NZ) working with starlink to get txt coverage anywhere within NZ within 1 minute by sometime this year.
You must be doing something right to get stuck in a strange town due to weather, and end up having a wonderful time. Every time i have been stranded due to weather has been a giant PITA.
If Starship needs a payload, just launch another car. That was cool. A car separating from the rocket with cameras to show its re-entry would be awesome. Maybe the recorder can separate after blackout and transmit its data to starlink before hitting the water. What an amazing demo of the unique capabilities of starlink!
It was stupid. It just added more junk into orbit. Better to bring up something potentially useful. Even a tank of fuel or water.
Wow, Scott! You didn't mention that you are a dancing DJ. There I was thinking Dj's just stand around and look cool. I'm glad you know how to have fun. It looks like the Japanese craft included a product placement for Pocari Sweat at 25:55. Don't tell Coke.
Wow! What an Info-packed episode!
Thank you SO much!
I vote for Feb 14 for IFT-3!
Love the Firefly shirt :)
Leftfeild!!! Check 1!!!
Inspection! Get ever'ting ship-shape an' shine.
3:56 I can't believe the Chinese stole my design for the second rocket I built to farm atmospheric and LKO science, removed the mystery goo, and renamed it. How shameless
You have a mouth, you can speak whatever you want 😂😂😂😂
I dont suppose there is a copy of that DJ set anywhere? sounds like quite an epic show that would be very much worth seeing
I am looking forward to audio-capable starlink antennae that can be mounted on or in cars, to replace SIrius/XM capability, not readily available in the Tesla, in the boonies.
