CRS-12 Launch Webcast

[@Baron]

Man Kerbal Space Program got a nice update

[@acecombatps2]

LOL BARON

[@Big_Chody]

BaronVonLetsPlay this guy make video game stuff

[@idris8153]

:D

[@j35o]

BARON WHY ARE YOU HERE?

[@trollinragegamer3620]

BaronVonLetsPlay BAAAAARRROOOOOON

[@MarkEasterTulsa]

I never miss a launch. It never gets old. I love the real engineer/people announcers and feel a part of the team as I hoot and holler (or sometimes tear up) with everyone else there. Thank you so much for providing your broadcasts. I am especially looking forward to the Heavy launches next year and the lunar flyby!!! Go SpaceX GO!

[@Rockerzbd]

same here

[@daylight44492]

MARS (or venus) HERE WE COME!!! HUMAN PROGRESS FINALLY!!!

[@ViperEye]

I hope to be witnessing mankinds future in deep space with a manned mission/landing on Mars, some day. I will not be around when there are hundreds of thousands living there, but seeing the true first steps of a multi-planetary species will be special. Space is one of the few things that gives me a hopeful outlook on what lies ahead of us.

[@mripman.6021]

Mars my arse.

[@stef0262]

Falcon heavy is this november

[@23Skadoosh]

Space X just launched a rocket into space and returned the first stage of the rocket back to the launch pad with pinpoint accuracy. Over half of the general population of the US can't even park in a parking spot.

[@tori9365]

😂😂😂

[@alexsiemers7898]

Half the US population doesn't dedicate their life to parking their car.

[@23Skadoosh]

Alex Siemers parking a car isn't exactly rocket science.

[@Aspiringamoeba1997]

Hydrashok357 I'm pretty sure the latter is harder. Just kidding. But you can be intelligent and still ridiculously clumsy.

[@tori9365]

Hey nut i bet half of yall cant drive a stick 🤔

[@bacchusbegins]

Congratulations for another successful launch. Great webcast and hosting! These webcasts are very inspiring and I look forward to following SpaceX for a long, long time!!!

[@dirichlettt]

Chris Wachtman Thx bro, you're an absolute life saver

[@Torontodude20000]

Chris Wachtman thank you. You sir are a god amongst men.

[@seveNGus]

They should post your list at the video info.

[@AmbarGriss]

Earth Is Flat TRUTH Debris* FTFY.

[@ShropshireFox]

Earth Is Flat TRUTH its not a bug just debris and gravity..... Oh wait a minute

[@LCucu]

Congratulations to everyone at SpaceX for another successful launch and landing!

[@LCucu]

Can't wait for Falcon Heavy! It will be amazing to watch that thing take off and perform a triple landing :)

[@leokimvideo]

OMG the landing was a killer

[@TasX]

Yeah! It's like trying to balance a pencil on your finger over and over again. Crazy!

[@andrewedis9907]

I honestly didn't think you would get this to work consistently. It's looking like im going to have to eat my words. Well done and congratulations!

[@BirdWhisperer46]

I have lived in the best of times. I have an unbroken memory from mans first satellites to this.

[@jamesdavis4735]

Same with me. I watched the first televised broadcast from a satellite transmission from Europe when I was very young.

[@ballom29]

man first satellite? you mean sputnik?

[@jamesdavis4735]

No, not sputnik. I said first televised transmission beamed off a satellite. I should have said that was watched on TV. I believe it was in 1962 or three. Not positive of the exact date but I was five.

[@ballom29]

stil damn 1962. I wonder how you feel having witnessed the evolution of space launch , and now witnesse morons than claim everythign is CGI , than nasa is a scam ect...

[@jamesdavis4735]

I feel honored to have seen the advances our species has made. I only hope to see us land on Mars before I die. As for doubters, they have always existed from the beginning of time and am sure they will be around for a long time to come. We just have to keep pressing on as a species to what ever end the universe has in store for us or what end we determine for our selves.

[@rocktheworld2k6]

Congrats to all the SpaceX engineers! A successful launch is always worth celebrating and landing the first stage is just the cherry on top, but still always amazing to see!

[@GregoryHammond]

I will NEVER get tired of watching this happen. Wow. Well done and congratulations, SpaceX! :D

[@markyboo]

I actually enjoyed the running commentary on this one. Usually it's just vapid yammering which distracts from the launch. This is more informative than the usual.

[@iamaperson_1533]

Brilliant as always

[@FernandoPerez-ns6ez]

It is abosulutely fantastic to be able to watch LIVE the new lunch of SpaceX and its safe return to earth. Many thanks for making this possible for us, plain people interested in great events.

[@jorgedaniel9656]

I can't even begin to imagine what it takes to make something like this happen. Truly outstanding.

[@ARealGopher]

This makes me so happy for the future. No bullshit, no hiccups Bravo and Very well done to the whole SpaceX team.

[@rusirius913]

thank you Space X for giving kids on Earth hope.

[@Derome2005]

This was perfect everything the calculations for the flight and landing nearly brought tears 😭 this is great thank you

[@bdrigg]

I've seen all of these. Still amazing every single time.

[@TSteffi]

thank you guys for all your hard work, and thank you for restoring faith in a bright future. can't wait to see falcon heavy launch.

[@bullet_tooth_tony]

that landing was like knife going in butter. Congratulation guys!

[@lemagreengreen]

I know people are saying the landings are becoming almost routine but I gotta say: Blows my mind still. Still doesn't look natural. Still utterly impressed with SpaceX and everything they do, outstanding company .

[@ImaJustKeeding]

In front of my laptop clapping like an idiot :) I can't wait until this becomes so routine it isn't news.

[@claudiocosterni6488]

Nooo, not idiot at all!

[@TasX]

Claudio Costerni ?

[@claudiocosterni6488]

Yes ... I am, tell me more Radi. Did you ask me a question?

[@alexsiemers7898]

This already is so routine it isn't news!

[@ShropshireFox]

This is routine, they've been fooling spacetards since the 60s.

[@glock19gen3]

Never get tired of watching these videos!

[@controlledburst]

Watching these never gets old. Amazing accomplishment - esp. the tech behind landing the first stage. Surreal. Wish they would display speed/altitude for U.S. viewers too.

[@controlledburst]

Given this is is entirely presented for the public, it would also be basic enough to provide both units on screen, something many do - especially data broadcast worldwide.

[@mduckernz]

Only 3 countries on Earth use the US-style (Imperial) system; it makes a hell of a lot more sense to use metric (and it is standard for science as well, given that it makes a hell of a lot more sense, with our number system being base 10 and all...)

[@jasongibson2152]

I was at Kennedy Space Center yesterday for the launch. What a great time watching the Falcon fly!!

[@cogoid]

One step closer to Falcon Heavy!

[@TasX]

Oh what? I thought it launched last year:/

[@CCCorbinoes]

I think it is supposed to launch in November

[@cogoid]

Very exciting! I hope it works perfectly, but it is going to be spectacular, regardless.

[@mduckernz]

+How Does it Really Work : Ha yep that's for sure! Super exciting if it works, and super exciting (but also a little sad) if it doesn't. Me, though.... I'm holding out for [mini-]ITS :D

[@ShootinMonky]

it just got real yesterday!!

[@jeffbaloga4376]

Sounded like the commentary was coming live from a "Steak & Shake"! Cool video!!! Very glad to see the Space Coast back in the space biz!!

[@sixgunsam79]

Great job to everyone involved! Keep up the great work.

[@PhilipChou]

These launches/landings get better each time. Congratulations on another successful launch/recovery

[@AirCommandRockets]

Isn't it funny how we answer the following questions differently: Q1. Would you fly on a flight-proven 6 month old Boeing 737 or on a brand new one that has never flown before? Q2. Would you fly on a flight proven 6 month old Falcon 9 or a brand new one that has never flown before?

[@Lilymillett]

Yes, yes, yes and yes.

[@SebiKoerner]

You can’t really compare an orbital class commercial rocket with a commercial airliner. Compared to a rocket, a plane is build rather simple. It wasn’t even possible to fully reuse 99% of a rocket until SpaceX and BO proved it. There’s so many more things that can go wrong on a rocket. It’s mind blowing how far the M1D is able to deep cycle. It can throttle from 100% of rated performance to I think about 50-60% while being gimbaled like space shuttle engine. I would fly on all 4 of the things mentioned.

[@TaiViinikka]

It might be funny ... But does the concept of "Rated for Crewed Flight" not have an impact? SpaceX does not have any human-rated vehicles yet; Boeing has many (I mean aircraft here.)

[@itsaturtlehead2942]

Shit dude, send me to space in a catapult. I don't care.

[@pierregabory8772]

Weak. Use a trebuchet. It can throw 90kg rocks 300meters aways.

[@timelord10]

Who says space is boring. Watching these launches and landings never get old.

[@henriettebrandt4996]

Very impressed by the landing!

[@kumquati2246]

This is absolutely incredible to watch. Great Video! Congratulations SpaceX on a job well done!

[@jeanmanguy7900]

awesome, 10/10, would watch again

[@AmandainTexas]

YES, The future is now! Thanks to all the brilliant people who played their part in this symphony of science and such! #hope

[@RyvenProductions]

Blows my mind how you can pinpoint land that first stage.

[@richardepoulinjr]

Grew up watching the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo programs as a kid in Florida. Always loved watching the launches. Sometimes my father would take me over to Mayport Naval Station to see the capsules being brought back. That was cool then and SpaceX is even cooler with the first stage of Falcon returning back to earth and landing. Tooooooooooooooo coooooooooool!

[@svendtang5432]

Way to go spacex you have really shown what initiative is all about.. it's (beeb) Buck Rogers... if anyone can make US in front in space it's spacex

[@XxFroz3nAcidxX]

I was luck enough to be standing on Playalinda beach just a few miles from where this all happened. Probably the best thing I have ever seen live. Life goal complete.

[@rgerber]

That thing is one sleek sexy pipe. Really. It might not be an epic Saturn V but it works so cleanly and smooth.

[@hellelujahh]

That stage separation when the 1st stage immediately starts turning away, and gets blasted with that vacuum Merlin's exhaust gasses... And that view from the 2nd stage down at the 1st, right when it starts its boostback burn and whooshes out of the frame... Just like you said, all of that is so smooth and precise, and timely. I love that sequence, every time I watch a Falcon launch, I always rewind it a few times and just STARE at every detail. It's just SO. BEAUTIFUL.

[@sunside79334]

never gets old watching the first stage landing, that thing works like a swiss chronometer these days. just impressive.

[@gabedarrett1301]

Can you please have acceleration in g's next to the other telemetry data? I think that'd be pretty neat

[@badwolfhs7815]

Some people have calculated the acceleration based on the telemetry shown in the videos, you can look up the chart if you're interested. The Falcon 9 User's Guide also has maximum acceleration and vibration charts for payloads.

[@callmeshortcake]

no clue what you guys are talking about so i'm gonna look it up

[@gabedarrett1301]

BadWold HS Thanks! I found that the maximum acceleration is 3.5 g's, just before MECO

[@williamgreene4834]

gabriel francis it would be pretty boring they throttle the engines as they burn off fuel because most payloads have a max g load they can take. usually not more than 4 gs so they don't break stuff. that's a reason why the second stage burns for about five and a half minutes. At full throttle the second stage produces 110 tons of thrust when almost out of fuel the acceleration would be brutal so they keep throttling back so as not to trash stuff. But you're right it would be neat to see.

[@obiwac]

"most payloads have a max g load they can take. usually not more than 4 gs" im pretty sure satelites and stuff are built to withstand more than that. 4gs is probably the maximum their liquid engines can produce

[@bearlemley]

What a nice day back in my home state and a great mission thus far by spacex. Though there was one point just before entry burn on the first stage that it appeared as though the stage was going to blow by the cape and LZ1 to the South West. Surprised me with a twist of the Grid fins and some N2 and that progress stopped quickly and right on the money. Fantastic flying. I miss the whole teem going back and forth talking about different aspects of the mission.

[@gwesco]

I watched the Apolo 11 live but this never fails to amaze me how far we have come since July 20 1969. Way to go Elon! Way to go Spacex. You prove that technology is our saviour.. I can't wait to see one land on Mars! :-)

[@juleswinnfield6266]

This is pretty much the coolest thing ever. Rockets and Space.

[@tomh2256]

This is unreal, is space X a part of NASA? or a company independent. Btw I'm British so don't laugh if that sounds stupid lol. These guys make the space shuttle look 12th century! That landing was epic!! Congrats guys.

[@stef0262]

Its a private company, NASA buys rockets from them to resuply the International Space Station.

[@johannesespe3232]

Nothing stupid about asking questions! SpaceX is a private company that builds and launches rockets. NASA is a customer that contracts them to fly science and supplies to the ISS.

[@tomh2256]

Thanks guys :)

[@kingpinda2]

Look up Elon Musk. He is like the real life Tony Stark AKA Iron Man but without weaponizing. Tesla, SpaceX, Solar City and the Boring company are his babies.

[@aerodaktyl_]

Rory Boyd PayPal too

[@vacuumedtube]

I would certainly consider this my God if I didn't know better, what an incredible ride to planet Earth that was .. Congrats !!

[@phillipfry1501]

I cry. Every time.

[@alexebi1]

Phillip Fry me too...even when I watch the replays. It fills my heart with joy, now I can somehow understand how my parents and grandparents felt during the moonlandings

[@christopherstube9473]

It is more like the old space-ship-landing-on-their-tailfins movies come to life

[@StormSpotterMike]

This Dragon is now at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

[@thewundalandcompany]

5-4-3-2-1...DAMN! How did I miss the Launch? I envy those who watched it LIVE! Ha...Ha!! Incredible Video Footage of the entire Launch Sequence. Shout out to #SpaceX for sharing! 🌎🚀💨✌😎

[@lewisnorth1188]

I got to the livestream just in time. 1 minute before the launch

[@JessicaODonnell1]

Well this is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'd love to check out this facility and meet the brilliant engineers cheering. What incredible minds.

[@longshot789]

FUCK I MISSED IT

[@mygenderisapache3147]

longshot789 No you didn't, there is video the same way you would have seen it if not live

[@IamMunkk]

Honestly, watching it later is better than watching it patiently live only to have it pulled 5 seconds before launch.

[@DaveYogs]

saaaame

[@uglygod92]

Same

[@darksavage596]

Same

[@EnnDeeKay]

What an achievement, making spaceflight routine and regular! Great job SpaceX!

[@samuelsann8219]

This is so cool! Sorry Elon but i think we will never get bored of this stuff.

[@apme1234]

Never get tired of watching this.

[@IamMunkk]

Starts at 9:57

[@matthunt208]

God, I am always amazed at this...even at age 56. God Bless America and the rest of this wonderful world we live in!

[@iamaperson_1533]

What's this? Clear video all the way to landing? One less argument for the flat earthers!

[@Dysputant]

Nah it is all CGI XD and cake is a lie :)

[@Justin.Franks]

They'll just move the goalposts and demand multiple 4K video feeds from many different angles, including their *completely idiotic* request for a camera in the nose pointing directly upwards. All you'd see is a full screen of blue, occasionally turning white as the spacecraft travels through clouds, followed by a full screen of blue which gradually darkens to black. It is one of the *_very_* few angles of an orbital launch that would be absolutely boring, showing nothing useful at all.

[@zes3813]

wrr

[@mygenderisapache3147]

IAmAPerson _ LOL Have fun with that it'll be like trying to show logic, reason and facts to Libtards

[@spiritusinfinitus]

I suggest giving a bunch of them complimentary GoPros and strapping them to the rocket and have another bunch of them watching from the launch / landing sites. Maybe then they'll finally accept that it's actually real and the Earth is actually a globe!

[@alaskankare]

seeing those rocket stages land back still doesn't get any cooler to watch!

[@MountainSalsa]

The applaus gets me every time :)

[@imgonagitcha]

What was that roll across that screen at 26:42????

[@nitehawk86]

Never gets old.

[@ProjectsEveryWeekend]

The good thing about SpaceX is that they never clickbait

[@RodrigoMartins-sx6vu]

13:34 liftoff, 16:06 separation, 21:05 touch down

[@Secrets4Europe]

Congrats on this Space X! Best from our Madrid, Spain Private Travel HQ

[@TheJaseku]

Take off 13:30 Landing 21:06

[@ThAtgUrL-wd4]

Such an amazing thing that we're able to watch this!!! So cool!!!

[@MarkoNara]

Congratulations on another successfull launch. Tell uncle Elon to put more cameras in the Dragon spacecraft for their fans in youtube! :D

[@Sir_Uncle_Ned]

Can't help but notice that you're making major progress in removing that rotating service structure from the shuttle era. I hope you find a way to maintain use of the elevator on the fixed structure for boarding. Having the first people going to mars use the same elevator as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin would be simply amazing.

[@gekyume588]

It gets pretty annoying when you get woken up by a loud ass sonic boom, thinking your gonna die lol.

[@louiswilliamhicks]

Congratulations guys!! Best wishes for the future. I look forward to the next two years as Dragon Two develops for human transport!

[@GurmeetSingh-eq5ec]

Look! A video of human progress on KZbin and not political bs. This is starting to make me believe there is faith in humanity. Until I saw the flat earther comments... Edit:Holy cow a thousand likes that's more than my dead YT channel

[@nash.achiller1452]

But then you look at the comments and loose faith again...

[@GurmeetSingh-eq5ec]

Nash.A Chiller Yup...

[@mygenderisapache3147]

Allie Productions people still bow like dogs to islam

[@ViperEye]

KZbin comments... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum & villainy.

[@Al-cd7zg]

My gender is Apache ???? Where does Islam come in a space launch broadcast???

[@mrfclarke]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. A work of art. Congratulations.

[@ac11dc110]

Good job guys

[@Malfunct1onM1ke]

Thank you spacex for the webcast. would be great to get more telemetry-data :)

[@Antzman-xb3yu]

I am from Durban,South Africa. The founder of space x, Elon Musk's home town!!!! I am so proud and so is SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!

[@ProjectPhysX]

The level of awesomeness just increased to infinity.

[@mrpicky1868]

we need a bigger thumbs up button

[@TheDeadwoods-pl3yo]

Great launch, best footage yet! Well done 😀

[@badwolfhs7815]

I still think NROL 76 was the best footage yet

[@TheDeadwoods-pl3yo]

I'll have a look

[@DarcyWhyte]

Just for the record when I was a child playing with rocket toys, this is how I landed them...

[@tori9365]

you were ahead of ur time 😐

[@CCCorbinoes]

Watched this live! Great job!

[@nickylup9566]

LOVE IT

[@PerriMitchell]

this stuff is so fun and amazing. i sit in awe watching it, marvelling how we live in such a world! truly brilliant :)

[@muhammadawan5074]

this is why I can still say loudly and proudly that I love this country soooooo much. even though so much bad shit is going on in Virginia, I can sit here and say no body is better than Merica. I hope this shows people that this country is amazing because of brilliant knowledgeable minds. not vile, unreasonable and unscientific opinions.

[@dutchuniverse]

Probably the most picture perfect launch and landing I've seen

[@tedg3250]

You got to love SpaceX they are so f****** hot

[@francisholt8685]

Congrats!! That was a perfect operation

[@SabaDhutt]

My tiny, ignorant brain can't comprehend this so I'm just going with Earth is flat!

[@albertvalencia4968]

Fantastic webcast!!!

[@l33tfights]

My first thoughts: A self landing rocket?? Are you shitting me? What am I doing with my life

[@kretchetov]

That SpaceX intro always gives me chills. I fucking love SpaceX =)=)=)

[@j4ke413]

Its sad that NASA does not do this any more. But its cool that space x launches at NASA

[@SuperCameronMan]

NASA does still launch! They just contract SpaceX to do it a lot because it's cheaper. However NASA does not launch crew anymore, Russia does that.

[@stef0262]

+Crowley next spring-early summer spacex will launch crew

[@DoveWrestler]

NASA has never built many launch vehicles "in-house". Most were built under contract by military/aviation companies. Major differences here are that Falcon 9 and Dragon capsule were not designed under contract by NASA, and that Spacex hasn't made military planes or missiles. Saturn V was made by Boeing, North American Aviation, and Douglas Aircraft Company, the Space Shuttle was made by Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Thiokol. Mercury and Gemini spacecraft were built by McDonnell Douglas and launched on ballistic missiles (Redstone, Atlas, and Titan) designed to carry nuclear warheads. Don't get me wrong, I think Spacex is doing great work, I just find the NASA vs Spacex comparisons odd, as one is a space agency using public money to fund space and planetary research missions, while the other is a privately funded, for-profit aerospace manufacturing and space transport corporation.

[@SebiKoerner]

NASA will be doing their own stuff with Suck Launch System, Uhm sorry space Launch System.

[@dianekelsey1881]

J4KE cvjk fgo cvhko

[@JakobJWinter]

What a perfect landing. Loved that view of the cape on 1 stage descent!

[@DenisDamulira23]

where are the Flat earthers ...this here proves you wrong lol

[@spicetruckin]

For those in a rush..here are the key highlights as I scrolled fast through the video myself. 13:15 on for Lift-off, 17:00- 21:00 first stage gently lands back successfully, 26:09 on some solar array deployment. I am MIGHTY impressed! So cool.

[@trihard8967]

How could someone think the earth is flat :/

[@Ricky41032]

And why wouldn't someone think that it is flat?

[@ghostehh]

Look at 25:03 and the strange abrupt cut away to another viewing point. Why was the outer lining of the earth a straight line? almost bending outwards even??

[@lewisnorth1188]

rootkit it's not, you're seeing what you want to see

[@ghostehh]

Okay, please explain ?

[@lewisnorth1188]

rootkit The earth is huge, and the focal length of the camera in that shot isn't enough to capture enough of the earth to show a curvature. Since you're looking for evidence that the earth is flat, you start seeing it where it doesn't really exist. This is called confirmation bias, look it up.

[@shirleyherbert7359]

My daughter is a 6th grade teacher and her class (5 girls of it) have an experiment on the rocket. We are praying for a successful recovery when the capsule returns to earth.

[@Amathylar]

There are 344 blind people who tried to watch this video and somehow managed to click the thumbs down.

[@douglasjames9545]

Beyond brilliant is a paltry statement for this. Hats off. Science that approaches music.
