- A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the NROL-186 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on June 29, 2024 at 11:14 p.m. EDT (8:14 p.m. local California time; 0314 GMT on June 29). Full Story: www.space.com/spacex-nrol-186...
According to Space.com, the Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth about 8 minutes after liftoff tonight as planned, landing on the SpaceX drone ship Of Course I Still Love You, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

I remember back in the day when rocket launches were very rare. Now thanks to SpaceX. we see this quite often
Almost one every 2 days now
Really helping Climate change.
@@jessyhavron2548ok Greta, the climate changes naturally and often.
I agree. Curious though what this I'd doing to our atmosphere. Please give any feedback.
@@F-off1234 DO YOU REMEMBER THE BOMBS THE USA DROPPED ON ANTARCTICA IN THE LATE 1950S? THEY OPENED HOLES IN THE OZONE LAYER.
This is the regularity of space operations that we have been promised since the space shuttle days. It's nice to see it actually come to pass. No government could ever do what SpaceX is doing. Well done.
The space shuttles were the biggest mistake NASA ever made. We marked time on space advances for two decades for nothing. They are so heavy and expensive they are not worth anything.
And Jeff who is still trying to get contracts from NASA🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the first step of being a spy, and launching spy satellites, is to not tell people you're a spy, or launching spy satellites.
It's very hard to conceal the launch itself, both visually and by radar. What can be concealed is the exact capabilities of the payload and the specific orbit.
@@ryddragyn I was attempting to be funny. I'll try harder next time.
This is the routine spy stuff. It's the ones that we don't know about which are the good ones.
@@jarodmorris4408I had a chuckle
I never thought I would get bored of this. But he does it so often it's just as normal as a plane take off. Nice work Space X!
People in Vandenberg California and Florida are really lucky
@@AnupomAG It could rain gold nuggets in Florida and I still would not live there.
@@Survivalguy why's that?
@@AnupomAG I lived in Hawaii 20 years
It never gets old I like watching it the landing burns and the landings
First time I ever saw that it was like, " WTF" that was cool as hell 😊😊😊😊
SpaceX is like Amazon delivering cargo to space and will soon be like Uber, picking up stranded astronauts lol
Well Jeff Bezos still can’t deliver in space 😁
Ya'll should mention it's the flame front of "re-entry burn" which acts like a heat shield against atmospheric friction. Else, they would just Kamikaze and restart the engines only once, just to land. 😊
Impressive 😁🤩 🚀 👍🏻 🌍
how many launches has there been holy shit
due to Social Media people not bothered by everyday launches while 20 years ego it was miracle
Even after watching so many launches,, I always see different details.
Wish they'd change that camera angle to let us see it actually lifting off.
Imagine a spy satellite hopping from one satellite to the next and damaging each as it goes. Crazy.
So for me and anybody that may have this question that haven't found and answer online. Why do the falcon 9's launch with their grid fins folded and the starship launch them deployed?
I think SpaceX mentioned that they found atmospheric drag minimal on launch thru to the 1st minute (MaxQ) and they save on some weight and complexity with the grid fins not folding down. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong I watch alot of Space community videos and that's what I remember.
Are you sure its spy satellites? Not weather satellites?
Just happened to see this guy low on the horizon before it disappeared into the clouds from southern Arizona at dusk. Super cool!
The first one I saw blew my mind because it was darker out and the sky was clear so you could see the plume being lit up by the sun super bright and it seemingly lasted forever. This one was much more muted because of more daylight plus the monsoons. But still, what a treat! So crazy to see something all the way out on the Pacific from a landlocked state like this. And also crazy that it happens so often I can just randomly catch it!
Best example of free enterprise. Superb job of Space X team.
Amazing work SpaceX. Congratulations.
Hundreds of these stage 1 re-entry and landings I am still so amazed, good rocket science here!
This is why Elon has "never seen any proof of aliens"...
Lovely. Nice to see, but shutting the main engines before second stage ignition isn’t to slow down the speed of the first stage, as the second stage is still connected and they travel at the same speed: that’s kinda what connected means. The second stage is only being pushed by the first stage. The drag on the second stage just has to be sufficient less than the drag on the first stage to allow the distance between the stages to exist and increase. Acceleration changed with MECO, the integration of acceleration is speed and the integration of speed is distance: ignoring constants. What changed was acceleration and what is desired is distance, speed is just in the middle. They are all monotonically related, but perhaps best to talk about what changed or what was desired.
Did you mean June 28th.? It is now June 29th. 2:30 PM EDT. 11:14 PM EDT was almost Midnight yesterday.
The commentary adds zero value and just basically interrupts what I want to hear
I love watching the new view.
I love Rockets! It Definitely a great time to be alive.
Thank you SpaceX!
Dwayne chéri tu es le plus merveilleux mon amour ...
What are those UFO's flying in the image at about 5:45?
May humanity not stop with this and finally make the breakthrough to Mars and beyond!
How long will it stay in orbit
Nice landing, humans sometimes show promises. See you at L3. 😊😊😊
OUT STANDING!⚓AEC USN RET GLW ⚓
Making the competition looking stupid at this point 😂😂
Wow! A PAYING customer! Most of the SpaceX launches are their own payloads.
Елон друг мой родной спасибо тебе видео супер фантастик 😎 ❤❤❤поздравляю с удачным запуском❤❤❤😎 😍 🤩 😋
Perfect Machine. Perfect work in the world Perfect team in the world Perfect Mission. Thank you very much 290624.
А где вторая ступень и ПН?..
They have a damn good little rocket there !!!😊😊😊😊
SPACE X really makes spaceflight a routine.😊
Sweet!
They make it look sooo easy😂😂
Very Kool
Take me with you
Dwayne mon merveilleux amour Je t'aime si fort chéri
Love so lifftof with u Dwayne Elliot chéri
Its so beautiful so briĺliant so magic and especialy so moving like u Dwayne Elliot chéri ...
괴짜 일론머스크 당신이 괴짜천재라서 일류발전에 기여 하시네요~~ 존경합니다~~
lots of debris in atmosphere
And so more Dwayne Elliot chéri like u love mon amour ...
Feed the military/covert/spy behemoth.
ahh.. keri kuu peale,Elon!
Please Spy on your allies.
They seem to be less cooperative than your adversaries. 😅
Wow go Elon Go spacex
👍
🙏❤️🔥
Spy satellites??
👌👌 🥇🥇 👍👍
GB America
Elon 💪🇺🇸
Iam Indian 🇮🇳
Total nonsense. 🙄
Sem palavras
Send Joe up on the next mission!
TO BAD ITS NOT A PEACE MISSION, WAR WAR AND MORE PROFITS FOR ELON,
Это полный бред. Мультфильм от илона маска

*Never gets old. SpaceX is awesome! Democrats, not so much.* 😕
