Seeing the most powerful rocket ever created launch perfectly synced with one of most hype songs in existence is something I definitely didn't know I needed, but that just made my day. I can't wait for the day we go back to the Moon, step on Mars for the first time and, who knows, even beyond.
Not to be that guy, but SLS isn't the most powerful rocket ever created. SLS has 8.8 million lbs of thrust at launch. This beats Saturn V's 7.7 million lbs, but only at launch, as the latter could exceed 9 million lbs at medium altitudes during the 1st stage burn. The Soviet N1, though unsuccessful, did produce over 10 million lbs of thrust before exploding. Lastly, there is flight-capable hardware sitting on a pad in Texas right now with 15 million lbs of thrust. Starship's super heavy booster has so far done 14-engine firings but has 31 main stage engines total, with enough thrust to shatter all records, and it's built and being tested as I type this.
@@AllThingsCubey Hence why NASA always says ‘most powerful OPERATIONAL rocket’ because just saying ‘most powerful rocket’ is intellectually dishonest. The point I guess is that until Starship is operational, SLS is currently the most powerful rocket you can get.

This genuinely brought a tear to my eye. To think that we’ve gone from huts and stone carvings to sending humans into the vast cosmos is incredible. We’ve taken images of distant nebulae and stars that we once thought controlled our fates. We’re on the search for alien life as we understand that we may not be alone. It’s incredible how far the human race has come.
Officer: "Sir I just clocked you going 110mph in a residential area! What do you have to say for yourself?" Me: "Im sorry sir but I changed the radio station and the Freebird Riff was playing." Officer: "Completely understandable, thank you for not stopping. Have a good day."

We humans have such a badass way of going to space. Instead of using space elevators, gravity warping, or some other strange technology that's peaceful and elegant, we strap ourselves to the top of a fucking bomb and IGNITE IT. I love our species. Our entire history has basically been "RELEASE MORE ENERGY" and trying to find fun things to do with that energy.
Given that we spent half of the 19th century and about two-thirds of the 20th installing ever more powerful pressure bombs into our ships in search of ways to make them faster, it seems entirely appropriate that when we decided to sail the stars, we did it by switching from steam to chemical explosives and still riding a bomb all the way.
This is perfection. My only regret is I wasn't allowed to ride. It's ridiculous to go unmanned when I know so many people that would have LOVED the experience.
Watching this video gives me chills man, watching all the complicated machinery on the launch pad and the thrusters adjusting as the songs ramps up just makes me think about how insane humans are. weve gone from literal sticks and stones, to giant machines that use fucking fire to shoot heavy ass payloads beyond anything any ancestor could have dreamed of.

@@noecarrier5035 ... and in some cases, used: the engines were from former Shuttle missions
@@craggleshenanigans really?
@@AmtrakCitiesSprinter64 yeah, straight up ripped them from the museum shuttles on display
this actually brought a fucking tear to my eye. i'm dead serious. it was that good.
Bash me all you want; I never heard this song before. This will not my last listen. It is indeed hype, and far more then that
Man, I had a shit day today, but god dammit I’m smiling now.
I hope you had a better 6 month
@@rizkyaditia6650 yknow what, it has been a pretty good six months. I got a promotion at work, girlfriend and I are coming up on a year together, got a new puppy…yeah it’s been better!
@@zehfox2719 congrats dude, keep it up!
@@zehfox2719I’m glad! here's to another awesome year in 2024, yeah? :)
@@gjk-arts5855 hell yeah!
Nice

the launch was impressive by itself, but holy crap Free Bird makes it so much better.
50 years ago, it was thought that the very last rocket being sent to the moon would launch. With the recent Artemis 1 launch, we are giving it another go at putting people on the moon, possibly permanently. This video fills me with an energetic hope that I can’t describe.
The music feels fitting for a launch that marks the start of what will probably be the single most challenging and incredible endeavors in human history, to truly become multi-planetary.
This is the most badass thing I have ever seen - that timing was perfect
This matches even better when you learn that SLS is the most powerful rocket in history as of now.
And now the third
@@Wurtoz9643 it is the most powerfull to acheve it mission. i am sorry but the 2min test fly for the starship is nothing compared to this
@@Clemdauphin I think we both are kind of correct. I’m correct if you just measure sheer power. You are correct if you measure how the sheer power was used if you get what I mean.
this video goes so hard its insane
First
The countdown wasn’t for the rocket at all- it was always meant for Free Bird
I was watching it live and timed it PERFECTLY with rocket man as the first chorus came on haha.
I did this as I was watching it live, but with Brain Damage, by Pink Floyd (synched it to the first chorus to match the excitement)
And it was absolutely perfect ! "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon !"
I did this 5 years ago at the eclipse, synched totality with the intro of Eclipse. Perfect
Lightning struck outside my window making a bright yellow flash right during the riff. Pog
Idk but there is something beautiful about a controlled explosion propelling science into space
Can't get over this thing looking just like a ksp ship on top of that I named one my first ships to make it to deep space the Artemis
That's it. This is now tradition for every future Artemis Mission.
Things that make you realize space travel is absolutely fucking insane
OK Fine.
*Fine.*
You win, USA.
We already knew that in 1776 🇺🇲🦅
I deadass thought for a second that NASA streamed ksp footage and I was absolutely bewildered
One hell of a way for NASA to announce "We're still here, bitches"
You know what, this is somehow even more epic than the live launch was.
“Sir, you can’t launch the Artemis 1 here.”
The Artemis 1 that has already began launching
This does bring a smile to my face. Well done sir and Godspeed Artemis!
Now I know exactly what to do for Artemis 2
That was so crazy to see. I was outside watching and all of a sudden the clouds turn a dark orange color, and then you see the bright, tiny, glowing line of the fire from the thrusters going high in the sky.
now that I know the time delay between startup and liftoff is the same length as the build up, I'm playing this song for every single sls launch
For all mankind creators when they need to chose a song for a suborbital rocket that was in the show 500 times:
If I was ever on board for one of these. I would have this song on blast. Synced up just like this.
Rockets will never not be awesome to me. This edit makes them even cooler lol
Everything that its actually epic is going to be 5 times more epic if u alaign the free bird solo in it
Seeing this in person from my window, was amazing
Dude. Deadass this gave me chills
Everyone Else: Skipping to the part where it launches to hear the guitar solo
Me: Listening to the whole song vibing
I'm honestly surprised that there aren't WAY more Free Bird memes of the vehicular variety
The launch mix with this song gives such a learn to fly 3 vibe
I played this when playing my dad at launch cause I love space and free bird. Then, he blundered and I forked his queen at the exact moment the riff started. This is magical.
It kind of gives me some For All Mankind vibes with the music matching launches. Good job!
"orang rocket go brrrr" and "Play freebird" goes amazingly well together... Didn't know that i needed to know that, but im satisfied... :D
the cruel indifference of the universe when the indomitable human spirit shows up
The shaking camera angle as it launched made it feel like a literal movie scene, it was in HD as well. So good
this brings me so much joy i can not explain
The editing was spot on. I like it when the song lined up perfectly with the docking clamps releasing. I am going to have to watch this again.
Here before this hits a billion views as it should
God I love the human race. Yeeting a massive lump of metal into outer fucking space while riding the vaguely directed power of over 2 million litres of burning liquid hydrogen and oxygen. All the while playing a song that perfectly demonstrates how absolutely insane we are as a species. The reason why we haven't discovered aliens is because they're hiding from us!
Man, the moment is just perfect. The Jet Thrusting and the increase in the tempo on the Guitar Solo is just compliment each other :0
It's amazing they managed to launch the rocket right at the start of the riff! NASA engineers are so incredible!
