Thanks! I’ve been looking for a video of the program successfully releasing its experiments. That was some awesome views!😃

Magnificent, so beatiful images. A unique view was the 1:11 one, really a unique view of launching. 👌

I always wait for those 4k videos after launches! But this one had the Troy view missing.

I saw this on Tiktok some people video the lunch

[@fork9001]

Is the video of the inflation of the heat shield taken in real time?

[@michaelwarren1538]

Slight error...the polar orbiting satellites see every spot on the earth twice a day. A little confusing.

[@RussianOldSpice]

Doesn't SpaceX do this daily ??? Why the hype

[@flerpderp3908]

Launch complex weather satellites for NOAA and experimental inflatable heat shields? No, they don't. They just pollute LEO with internet satellites that die frequently.
