I had completely forgotten about the launch until my house started shaking. I did get to see the booster for a bit and then got to see the boosters do their burns on their way back

They've flown 106 Falcons this year: 91 Falcon 9s, 5 Falcon Heavies (10 Falcon 9 boosters, and 5 Falcon 9s as Center Cores). Each Falcon 9 variant should count--solo, booster, and core.

Happy new year Tim, the launch coverage was awesome!

At 25:38 "Even with the dual booster return to launch site landing, which is like the most basic". Oh we live in such amazing times to be able to utter such things and classify them as "the most basic". We should not take this wonderful era for granted. Taking it all in.

Lol when he says "Liftoff of Falcon 9, i mean falcon heavy"

I used to walk by the X-37 when it was in a jig fixture at Boeing Huntington Beach. It was covered in Aviation weekly and was one of those cover story programs. The Huntington Beach facility has been razed. It had a great run. The Delta rocket programs. The international Space Station, submersibles and the astronaut water tanks. A great legacy. Kudos to the kids at Spacex. Way to go GenZs, Millenials and Xers! You guys (and gals) are running laps around legacy aerospace and it’s great!

Thank you. I now depend upon channels like this to view SpaceX launches on KZread and it honestly makes me angry that we were robbed of this content from the official channel.

I'd love it if USSF provided an animation of the fairing jettison and the payload was rendered as an icecream or something. That would be rather entertaining answer to "well of course we aren't going to show you a picture of a classified payload, but we are showing you something!"

So wild!!!

Yeah... I want that Krause picture on a metal plate

I wish the USSF would release just ONE image of the X-37 as the fairing separated. Oh well.

I noticed someone said "landing legs deployed" 5-10 seconds early. Is that just a disconnect in delay between the audio and video channels? Or did she call it out preemptively?

Tim. I love you man! Godspeed on your Dear Moon mission. I wish you safety. I certainly hope SpaceX develops a special man-rated Starship with less payload, but having crew ejection capsules or a detachable nose in case of second stage (Starship) failure. Putting crew inside the Second Stage (directly above the fuel tanks) is worse than the Shuttle. Also, thank you for live streaming this. I simply do not even want to be connected with Twitter / X anymore. Elon has done so many nutty things in recent years, I have really ambiguous feelings toward him. On the one hand, he is doing great things for humanity. One the other, he has fallen down an Alt-Right rabbit hole and he channels the worst of humanity. We definitely DON'T need him to be the dictator of the Mars colony. It would become a living hell.

The faster the rocket travels, the more force it experiences from wind resistance. But as it accelerates and climbs, the thinner the atmosphere gets. Imagine a bell curve where the y-axis is force on the rocket and the x-axis is time elapsed; Max-Q is at the peak of the curve.

No! Mass is invariant. It does not increase with velocity. E=mc^2 is the energy of an object at rest. E^2=(mc^2)^2+(pc)^2 is for an object in motion. It's the energy from the momentum that prevents acc to speed of light.

Hear tell SpaceX is changing the landing legs to flex on the drone ships to prevent it tipping over. Can you confirm that? Are they tied to a gyro stabilizer of some sort?

Did they say why it was brought back in for repairs?

It's a bummer that they won't allow anyone to even just see their spaceplane from the outside. It would be awesome to see that thing fly off.

RIP booster 1058, 19 missions.

Could you do a comparative study of all the rockets from the Apollo program to starship going to the moon and back. Apollo used one set of rockets to get there, do their thing and come back. SpaceX at this point is going to need several refills to do the same thing. Obviously they used two different fuels, and maybe that's the problem unless SpaceX can increase the efficiency of the plasma burn and eliminate the refueling. That might require a rocket combo of atomics and magnetics to contain the heat of a more complete plasma burn, which is currently being researched by some outfit. But, what if SpaceX built some larger engines and used fewer of them? Would that stretch the fuel enough for a round trip?

Is SpaceX planning any demo Starlink satellite repairs in the future?

Question: When a booster is expended, do they activate the FTS after stage seperation or do they take the chance that a large part of that booster will hit the ocean largely intact?

@iditarod4081

It explodes on impact, if it hasn't burned up at all already, they don't landing burn it. Maybe they disconnect and parachute the engines. We don't know why they hate the booster itself so much, but those 9 engines would still be worth something better than at the bottom of the ocean. There might be an incredible graveyard playground out in the Mid-Atlantic now for scuba divers if they do any sort of re-entry burns to try to give deep Sea Life a show.

@@Atlessa Heck we weren't even talking about landing the booster, although they should. Surfer dude was simply asking whether it smacks the surface of the ocean intact. I suggested they could use some of that spare fuel on board to slow descent and then use some drogue parachutes to at least spare a large explosion, without adding any extra weight to the vehicle. Parachutes are lightweight and those boosters aren't filled to the brim for most missions. Oh and another thing you hateful red-headed Karen libs need to stop trying to hate and cancel everyone. Delta v is such a simple concept it's like you're stuck back in junior high.
