It's actually quite amazing if you think about it that I can be sitting here in my living room watching this on my phone... Not all that many years ago this would have been the stuff of science fiction.

Trusted consistency, well done team. Don’t let up on your diligence. Humanity is proud.

Still can't get my head round the fact that Thunderbird One actually now exists!

[@farithj]

Amazing! God bless our broomsticks! God bless America!

[@digitalkittycat4274]

SpaceX's rockets are like town buses for space !! Ha ha ha.

I wish we had had cameras like this for the Apollo missions.

[@grethelmarrero6924]

Beautiful 👏❤️

[@northblue8216]

I like the fact that on one camera, the Earth the curved, and on the other, it is not. So whether the Earth is flat or not, looks like a matter of type camera (lens) perspective and height.

[@grethelmarrero6924]

Waoooo que precisión 👏👏👏👏❤️

[@Colinmac1]

Can you tell me what happens to the invac engine??

[@nigelsmith721]

I wonder if there will ever be a time in space flight when Max Q isn’t explained?

[@greslycraane1986]

There is. Check the SpaceX channel, some uploads dont have commentator, some it has.

[@prey25]

I wonder at what point in the future this will get old to me?

[@72giddy]

WoW...

[@globe_atheist81]

Y'all have to be kidding me?! That shit was going straight down!

[@Darsh0606]

The rocket pitches shory after launch to get into orbit, it wasn't upside down

Top 👏👏👍

[@jiyushugi1085]

Incredible! Would love to hear the opinions of some former NASA folks about this.

[@ESowder24]

Wait clear skies no fog ? Nice change

Me good 🙏

[@barryjack3025]

I love watching these launches, but it would make me just as happy to see some of that space junk come down and clean up our low earth space.

Elon may live to be 100 years old, but his space pollution will long outlast him…

[@Delta-V-Heavy]

The Starlinks go to a pretty low orbit; without propulsion, most of them would likely reenter in less than a decade.

[@mjmonjure]

@@Delta-V-Heavy Only to continuously be replaced by new ones. This isn’t a one time shot, it’s a revenue stream.

[@jiyushugi1085]

Yes, much better to do nothing with your life and instead to wallow in bitterness at the accomplishments of others.

[@mjmonjure]

@@jiyushugi1085 Always someone has to make it personal. Luckily I can wallow in whatever I please, it doesn’t change the fact that starlink satellites are and will forever more add to the growing plethora of space junk in lower earth orbit. What’s more, the people behind it, including the cheerleaders online will be gone before the problem has to be dealt with. If you knew that chlorofluorocarbons in hair spray was going to punch a hole in the ozone, would you do manufacture and sell it anyway?
