@@josephastier7421 The shorter a rocket's inter stage is the better. Long inter stages tend to be really heavy, which lowers the amount of payload you can lift. Also because inter stages are hollow, longer inter stages tend to endure significantly higher loads and stresses during launch making them weaker than shorter inter stages.

Ok, grab a small ball. Like a golf ball or something. Find a flat surface of 6 feet or longer. Bring your eye down to where you can no longer see the top surface. Now roll the ball and witness what happens. That's right, you just witnessed how the sun sets and rises on a plane. In this scale. you don't have to contend with atmospheric contamination which makes the atmosphere itself one giant lens that maintains its apparent size. Too bad the globe theorists failed basic geometry. Now grab some iron, a magnet, some metal wire, a metal stand, and a torch. First, wrap the wire around the iron. Next, tie the wire to the stand or hang it from something so it can be heated with the torch. Attach the magnet to the iron. Now pay attention to what happens when you heat the iron until it glows red. That's right, the magnet drops! Congratulations! You just proved what science claims the Earth's core is and how it works wrong. Too bad the globe theorists weren't informed about the Curie point. This one will vary depending on the sink design. Most noticeable in round sinks, though it will work in all of them. Ok, grab 2 full glasses of water. Go to your sink and put 1 glass on each side. Now take 1 glass and pour it on the left front wall and watch it drain clockwise. Take the other glass and pour it on the right front wall and watch it drain counterclockwise. The left rear wall will also drain counterclockwise while the right rear wall will drain clockwise. Congratulations! You just witnessed both Coriolis effects in the same hemisphere! Too bad the globe theorists didn't understand momentum very well. Plane Earth class dismissed!
4:00 Look how fast that booster falls away even though its still tumbling forward, the rocket just leaves it in the dust. Really shows the insane velocity that thing has at high altitudes. That booster would still have been tumbling forward as fast as a bullet even though it was jettisoned

Right after they reached 100 kilometers, I noticed the struts and side tank started to turn black. Which I know will sound dumb but is that radiation burning, or could you explain why this "what seems to me as an atmospheric thing" happened in what I am assuming is out of the atmosphere?
@PaulGilpin

At 100 km there’s still a bit of atmosphere left. The radiation levels are far too low to cause blackening at that rate.

I thought I was looking at Minmus from KSP from thumbnail for this video...
Weird how the center connection to the booster started turning black around 5:30 in the video as it was approaching the Karmen Line. It almost looked like the paint was burning from an internal heating element in the connecting point getting too hot. Anyone know what that’s about??? It was way too high up for the burning to be caused by wind resistance.

That would make sense: That connection point is attached to cryogenic tanks at both ends, you’d want to make sure it’s not frozen shut when you jettison the boosters.
