I sent the booster catch to him and he said “is that for real?” 66 Reply @AlphaAbyss_ 8 hours ago The fact that they can so accurately land them not only with the remarkable catch but the fact they had a camera in the exact spot the ship would land 65 Reply 6 replies @mustang607 7 hours ago Mankind wants to thank the many skilled SpaceX engineers and the rest of the team involved for this exciting and historical accomplishment. 143 Reply 8 replies @rivalrepairs 9 hours ago The flames at the side of the booster are vents from the cryogenic methane tank, as the booster heats up the liquid gas boils off and is vented overboard to maintain the correct pressure in the tank. The engines set fire to this vent that is what you are seeing. 67 Reply 4 replies @alltechinbox 9 hours ago A number of people were understandably speechless, what a week 87 Reply 1 reply @myownboss1 7 hours ago The engineers at Boeing Starliner team are like, ‘Yeah, whatever….

The world fundamentally changed today. 54 Reply 8 replies @quesopasso 8 hours ago I heard that it takes something like 3 orbits for the Starship to be realigned for landing at the tower. So there'd be at least a couple hours between a booster landing on the tower to the ship coming back. Still not enough time currently, but I think that's the idea. They'd move the booster then land the ship. 4 Reply 1 reply @davidgermain 7 hours ago (edited) loving the excitment youhave for this. they swing the booster out of the way and put it in one of the pads. by the time the payload part has done its job the booster will be off the pad. 3 Reply @java4life415 3 hours ago (edited) I was in a hotel there on vacation today and I had no clue this was happening. Woke me up at 7 AM. My hotel room (with a balcony view on a high floor) was shaking like crazy and felt that sonic boom when landing. It was crazy. I cried knowing I witnessed history 1 Reply @DarkTranqz 7 hours ago Super Heavy is somewhere around 220 tons dry without the hot stage ring, and probably had 20-30 tons of propellant left in the tanks, so it definitely was not 500 tons. Also, when the booster reaches it's highest boostback velocity at about 26 kilometers altitude, it was doing 4400 km/h, which is a little over Mach 4 at that altitude. Then, when the engines fire to cancel out the booster's energy for the catch, it's doing Mach 1, and decelerates all the way down to 2 km/h by the time the chopsticks make contact. 13 Reply 2 replies @deankay4434 7 hours ago This a huge step forward allowing engineers to review data, examine components, control actuators and heat tabs epoxied in places the size of a quarter. Designed to melt at a known rate at a predictable temperature range. This complex catch is a further step to carry more weight into space at a cheaper cost. Reusable rockets without tons of heat shield and certain cooling systems are not used. Lower total weight carried at 17,500 MPH to escape the earths atmosphere with 3 times the power. Amazing! 5 Reply @kevinmcquade1688 7 hours ago They don’t need to catch the starship immediately after the booster. It can orbit until the booster is cleared from the chop sticks. 10 Reply 4 replies @BDailys 3 hours ago Landing used to be parachute and then splash down amd now megazila ??!!

The precision Starship splashdown was also a great highlight. Next up, let's see SpaceX fix that heat shield problem around the fins, especially the front ones, and let's see it launch a big payload into orbit successfully. 3 Reply @ssikes01 6 hours ago Just incredible demonstration of engineering principles.

WOW! 1 Reply @garylester3976 7 hours ago Looks like the time spent trying to convince using glide ratio re-entry wasn't wasted. They'll need more glide for loaded ships coming in, maybe need more wing surface, especially returning from Mars. But it stayed in pretty good condition, and they know what to do now...

The heat shield needs a LOT of work, but this was a really HUGE step forward. Well done SpaceX. 1 Reply @dougbrinklow9979 8 hours ago If they try to catch the Star Ship as well, it won't be immediately after catching the booster. Star Ship will be in orbit first, and then it will come back much later on a later orbit. There will be lots of time to remove the booster first. Maybe even days. 5 Reply 4 replies @andyonions7864 9 hours ago Hot staging is primarily to reduce gravity losses, which would hit the payload by several percent. It would help with ullage as you say. 1 Reply @momofmanda 6 hours ago Who writes the headlines? It was not going three times the speed of sound as it was being caught. Reply @greggwilliamson 8 hours ago New sub. You spoke on the impact of being alive at this time. I remember the moon landing. I was 9 and loved science fiction stories. Here I was watching those hero's do great things. I knew that "2001: A Space Odyssey" was prophesy. I watched the Voyager's begin their unbelievable journey (NASA could actually build s..tuff then). Elon Musk is bringing little boys and girls dreams and the magic back to space. I may be old now, but I still cherish those dreams. 6 Reply @deankay4434 7 hours ago (edited) Huge Amazing Event in History! John Glenn is two thumbs up in heaven!

If walking is defined as controlled falling. 🤣🍻 ALL of this launch was so WOW!! 2 Reply @angelito4058 3 hours ago For those that may not know because he actually asked the question... The way it would work is as follow: When they catch the booster they will move it over to and set it back into the launch mount. That way by the time the actual Starship returns from whatever it is doing up there the tower and arms are back into position waiting to catch the ship. 1 Reply @NeonEclipse910 5 hours ago A feat of engineering beyond what was ever thought possible.

Excellent performance by SpaceX and team. I would like to mention, the booster was not traveling 3X the speed of sound, when caught. The vlog title is a bit misleading. Take care. Reply @override7486 6 hours ago I dont know where you get this information from? Mass of the booster (empty) is around 270 ton and they caught moving maybe few meters/s at best.

Also @7:00-7:03 you can see something fall off the starship and land on the booster body causing significant sparking - pretty sure those were chunks of the starship's heat shield that rattled loose and fell off during max-Q - if more than a few fall off, that could lead to severe damage on re-entry leading to the subsequent 'boom' Reply @codename495 6 hours ago Is this real? Not CGI? Holy crow. This is amazing! 1 Reply @mrbardel4363 34 minutes ago (edited) i believe this is 100 % not safe . the lunch pad should have a deep hole near the landing so if the booster come in to fast it goes in to the hole . and explode underground . Reply @thevillage38 6 hours ago SpaceX just caught a 22 story speeding skyscraper.Well done to all the employees of SpaceX,who were hired for their skill,knowledge and brains.Props to you all 1 Reply @Ingens_Scherz 6 hours ago Super Heavy booster is almost twice the mass of Saturn V's S-1C (first stage) booster. So SpaceX just caught a rocket nearly twice the size of S-1C out of thin air. I saw it live, but I'm still struggling to process what I saw! It's a genuine giant leap. 5 Reply @AlessandroFilippiUX 7 hours ago Funny how he looks at the chat instead of the livestream right when the booster lands in the chopstics. Reply @TheOtherPhotoGuy 3 hours ago it seemed to have slowed down somewhat from 3x speed of sound by the time of the catch, nonetheless incredible Reply @jasontipton8430 7 hours ago (edited) I was thinking is this really happening it looked fake but I know it’s real this thing is massive it’s 232 feet tall and thirty feet wide and it had such smoothness and fitness it was perfect, landed right into mech Zella arms they are playing Kerbal space program in real life and there like Marcus house playing it 1 Reply @roberttuttle5405 4 hours ago SpaceX catching a rocket vs BOING (E intentionally omitted) Absolutely amazing! 1 Reply @w8stral 7 hours ago What happens when you get the DAMNED government OUT of the WAY 7 Reply @Deagle367 5 hours ago I'm so glad to be alive to witness History! 2 Reply @airspeedmph 1 hour ago That booster landed way more gently on the tower, than I put my coffee cup on the table.

He’s taken all he learned about manufacturing (which is an insane amount of knowledge and wisdom), and applied it to manufacturing Space Flight.

For a long time, I was deathly afraid that I would not live to see us get to the moon and Mars, but watching Elon and Spacex taking each step, closer and closer to reaching those "cosmic" goals...It's like finally watching all my childhood science fiction dreams come true right before my eyes. I'm so glad God has allowed me to live long enough to witness this. I just hope he allows me to be around for our journey to Mars. Then, I'll rest easier knowing humanity will have a real shot at beating the odds and escaping extinction. Reply @TheGreatSnafoo 8 hours ago (edited) Lol it wasn't moving that fast when they caught it your thumbnail is ....well, dumb! 1 Reply @alch3myau 9 hours ago why you lying? 4 Reply 2 replies @gregedwards1087 34 minutes ago Catches 500 tonnes, maybe, moving at 3 times the speed of sound, not even close, when it was about 5000 mtrs up, yes, but the booster had slowed to a hover when they caught it, an impressive feat to say the least but the sensationalism in your title is not warranted. Reply @The-KP 17 minutes ago That's the most ludicrous title. Nobody caught 500 tonnes at 3x speed of sound, that would've been the biggest RUD to date. Moving at most 5 kph at catch, and approx 275 metric tonnes dry weight. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 <- this channel Reply @back2basics597 7 hours ago It's a shame there was no poet in the panel. Reply @irrefudiate 7 hours ago The Magzilla is not going to "catch" the booster, is not going to "snatch it out of the sky". And, the booster will be going zero MPH when it manuevers for a "landing". 4 Reply 1 reply @messertl 7 hours ago How did they do this? Well, Elon hired talented engineers based on their competency and not whether they checked off some DEI box according to a childless HR cat lady. 3 Reply @TRDbot 7 hours ago (edited) 200-220 tonnes..😅 Reply @rasmusrs_maus2077 11 hours ago I missed it live😐 but Wow this was worth the wait, im almost in tears of joy🥹😀 4 Reply @johnkepa2240 35 minutes ago Star base will eventually have two catch towers Reply @DanielI.Alvarez 6 hours ago The flat earthers believers are going to be so freaking maaaaaaaaddd.

LOL Reply @fkxfkx 2 hours ago not exactly. it wasn't moving that fast when it was caught. 🤷‍♂️ Reply @tfk0527 2 hours ago (edited) VERY DUMB video title. NO, they did NOT “catch a 500 ton booster moving at Mach 3”. They caught a “(maybe 500 ton booster) which had slowed down from (maybe Mach 3) to a very controlled 3 mph or so” (my guess).
