Blastoff! SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches Europa Clipper to Jupiter's ocean moon

[@hawkeyeten2450]

What a week it's been for SpaceX. First a successful Starship test flight, now one of the most potentially groundbreaking scientific probes in recent memory has been launched by FH.

[@drkushajagadeesh6347]

SpaceX is outclassing NASA by miles these days! Hell, the currently underway NASA mission is using SpaceX rockets to achieve their objective! 😂

[@treycash8876]

​@@drkushajagadeesh6347How does spacex outclass NASA? As far as i know NASA doesn't build rockets.

[@AmbientMorality]

@@treycash8876 They built SLS because there weren't viable commercial options at the time. But yeah, NASA is not a launch services provider and would not mind getting out of that entirely if there is a good commercial market. And SpaceX does not do space science and exploration, so they aren't comparable at all.

Yep, don't forget landing the starship at the designated location was a major success. I still can't believe it travelled at over 26,000km/hr before re-entry and gracefully touched down in the ocean like a feather.

I was born in 75 and I have always been obsessed with space. I’ve seen some amazing and heart breaking events in space travel history. But I never thought I would see what Space X has done in my lifetime. Keep up the great work Space X. I have fallen in love with space all over again. ❤

With ya. ‘74 here. I was in sixth grade, watching the challenger explode, while in class. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one because there was a teacher on board. It was simulcast throughout schools. At sixth grade camp later, we were combining two middle schools into one, and we voted to change the name and it’s named McAuliffe middle school in Los Alamitos, California after Christa McAuliffe.

[@Ryan-mq2mi]

I remember that movie and it wasn’t bad. It didn’t get a lot of fanfare because 2001 was just an epic, unforgettable movie. 2010 paled in comparison. Also didn’t have the same Director and people behind it. Still interesting at the time though. Might have to check it out again after 30 years lol.

[@AnupomAG]

For this mission Falcon Heavy was fully expanded which increases the cost to maximum. When starship is fully ready there will be no parts that will expanded for more thrusts. Instead they will refuel in LEO and provide starship enough fuel for higher orbital insertion such as this and come to on earth 100%.

Yeah, and they were on a suicide mission because they had to use every bit of energy they had, and couldn’t reserve any to come back. But if you’re impressed with that, I’m sure you’d be interested to know that they are currently launching falcon nine rocket that have been used over 20 times. I think the most recent one that has finally retired. Was either 22 or 23 flights. Absolutely incredible.

Илон, я не в восторге от Европы. Мы не всегда можем рассчитывать на неё как на союзника. Иногда мне кажется, что европейцы не всегда откровенно говорят о своих планах, и это вызывает у меня внутренний протест. Возможно, освоение космоса поможет им стать более искренними и открытыми. Поживём - увидим, как будут развиваться события. Желаю только положительных результатов в наших космических начинаниях.

[@Ryan-mq2mi]

Understandable, as they see Russia as enemies. You can obviously see what has been accomplished through, just a little collaboration with the United States, for a while there we weren’t even able to fly astronauts anymore and thankfully to Russia, they were bringing our guys back-and-forth from the space station. There’s no reason for white people to fight. it’s a psychological operation manipulated by the government.

[@basba_qal]

And, about time, someone investigated UR opa as close captions called Europa.

[@MaySinMelodyBox]

Cool. But yeah we can't just not clean up space debris anymore unless absolutely necessary or itll soon be a extremely major issue in just 5 to 10 years. (The amount of flying bits of metal orbiting earth at 30,000mph would baffle those whom are not aware) but goodluck! Hopefully we find Neemo!

SpaceX (one of the US astronautics companies) employs approximately 13,000 people, while Soscosmos employs 150,000 people. So draw your own conclusions about where it is more effective. And who has achieved what results over the past 9-14 years.

Beautiful lunch! But what are those objects on the aft end of the third stage nozzle that are moving around? They kind of look like leaves and are moving around circumferentially what appears to be at will. There was initially one on the starboard side, but quickly multiplied to around 4-5 objects. They also appear on the port side of the spacecraft This begins around 4:40 into the launch and just after the fairings are jettasend. If it is FOD, there is no way it can remain on the spacecraft at those velocities. Does anyone know what they are?

[@Ryan-mq2mi]

It will be going out to Mars, then back to earth, for gravity assists, then out to Jupiter. Should be there about 2030. There are 49 planned close flybys of Europa. It will not be orbiting Europa, and it will be a highly elliptical orbit so that he can dip and run, because the radiation is unbearable. Jupiter traps, radiation similar to our van Allen belts, but like 100 times more. The launch required a falcon heavy, which is essentially a falcon 9 with two falcon 9 first stage is attached to it. It had to use every bit of energy/DELTA-V it could muster, so it was not returned, and was rather burned up in the atmosphere. That’s not common for spacex obviously. There wasn’t a choice, at least, until starship becomes fully operational.
