How SpaceX Did The Impossible...and no one noticed

[@michaelmicek]

I think you forgot to mention the fact that plasma is opaque to radio waves. If it weren't for that, a reentering vehicle could easily communicate with the ground just as it does in orbit. So it's not so much the proximity of the satellites as, along with the other technology, the fact that they are above (and behind) the vehicle.

NOW UP SOME! A LITTLE MORE. A LITTLE MORE. WAIT, THAT'S TOO MUCH, GO BACK..."

[@parrotraiser6541]

Someone else has probably noted this already, but the point is that plasma obstructs radio waves. The plasma below the vehicle prevents signals going eathwards. Above and behind is not plasma- rich, so signals to satellites above are not obstructed (until the whole thing melts).

Great job explaining the concept of GEO vs LEO. I know it's for visibility reason, but the scale doesn't do how close LEO is to the Earth justice. 500km vs 35,000km is a huge factor. Scale-wise, something in a LEO orbit would pass under the metal arm that holds a model globe of the Earth! Can you imagine?

[@arthurwagar88]

[@mokiloke]

Why didnt we get footage from the space shuttle with plasma, recorded at the time, and handed over on landing?

[@krozareq]

NASA didn't install cameras for cool factor and livestreams. We did get some amazing stuff during the Apollo era though, such as the S2 interstage jettison and Apollo 11's launch pad camera E8. Both of those are still some of the best videos ever taken in space launch history. Cameras were still very large when Shuttle was designed. Retrofitting cameras into the exterior later on would've been a nightmare. If they needed to inspect the heat shield, which they did after Columbia, they just used a camera on the Canada Arm.

[@stratolestele7611]

As noted in the video, there were far fewer satillites. And as the other person noted, the camera tech wasn't what it is today.

Luckely with that rotation axis there will not be an ozon hole anymore.

[@vosechu]

Light takes about 233ms to travel to geosynchronous orbit and back. Add in some other latency for hardware and I can see how the lag would be totally terrible. I bet there’s other constraints that hurt total bandwidth too (thought it could just be an outcome of Little’s Law) Thanks for helping me understand part of why starlink is so much lower latency!

[@kklogins]

I like your videos, but unfortunately I need to report 2 errors in them: 1. at 5:32 - it isn't the giant ball of iron in earth's center that curves space-time, rather it's all the mass on our pale blue dot. Every rock you pass on your daily commute, every person you've every talked to, every drop of water, every cloud floating above your head; they all curve the fabric of space and time. However, most of this mass is indeed concentrated in the unfathomable pressures at the center of the globe... 2. at 5:54 - This one's a bit crazy & for simplicity's sake you're probably right, but you've said "The lower your orbit, the faster you'll have to move" This is not true. It's the exact opposite actually! Think about it, if you were to slow down from a low orbit you'd be coming back to earth. (falling more, rather than going forward more). to get to a higher orbit you'll need to add even more speed to your spacecraft. So at those higher orbits you "should" be going faster right? It's only trough the eyes of us down-on-earth humans that those satellites seem to be going slower...

[@bazoo513]

A solid video. 0:26 - In a short period when the USA considered solar power satellites, which would have been enormous, a range of concepts for _very_ heavy, fully reusable "freighters" was very seriously considered. For example, one from Boeing (in the days when Boeing still could do great things) which consisted of two large stages, bigger than SH/SS, but which landed like a Shuttle orbiter, rather than propulsevely. When the idea of "power from space" was abandoned, so were these brutes - trere was no viable mission for them. Skeptics say, neither there is one for Starship. 0:37 - Now, this _is_ a big deal! It has been attempted multiple times before, from something simple as Iridium on, but everyone so far went bankrupt. Starlink uptake is much slower than anticipated, and Starshield contract is a lifeline thrown to SpaceX by Uncle Sam (that is, taxpayers) once again.

[@gabrielskater123]

Great video! I have to correct you on one aspect though, the molecules in the upper atmosphere are predominantly gaseous in phase, not 'solid' 👌

[@GntlTch]

I suggest you listen to the dialog again - the phrase was "solid molecules". Yes, the atmosphere is gaseous but the individual molecules themselves are arguably "solid". Perhaps a bit of poetic license is required but the phrase (and animation), effectively conveyed the buildup of resistance to motion, especially to a non-scientific audience.

[@opcn18]

Just having a black box onboard to record reentry would make reentry video possible. Starlink made it real time but we absolutely have materials that could protect a SSD through uncontrolled reentry.

That was about 10 minutes too long. Plasma shields radio transmission. Before, the ground was talking to the ship directly and would be blocked by the plasma, now starlink net is able to talk to it from above when the plasma shieilds it from direct ground communication.

The mass of the earth is not dependent on having a giant ball of iron or anything else, gravity is caused by the mutual attraction of any thing at all that has mass it does not have to be iron. (Conventional explanation).

[@mathiaslist6705]

First, I was a bit angry because it appeared to be a very good Starlink ad --- but I'd say the whole thing or a global low earth orbit satellite internet makes sense. With the popularity of Starlink --- more people talk about mega-constellations. Actually nearly every launcher wants them. Kind of orbital roads --- or roads in orbit --- too bad no one has thought of building and using them for energy transmission. Okay, there were and are plans for photovoltaic/solar plants in geostationary orbit but kind of "beaming" power around would probably make sense too --- if on one site there's too much and somewhere there's a real shortage.

"How SpaceX Did The Impossible...TWICE!" So... it wasn't impossible. Starship fanboys tend to forget that the reason why nobody is building 100ton payload lauchers is not that it's difficult, it's that nobody needs it. There is no use case for a 100ton to orbit capability. THAT is why nobody has tried again since the russians did, and the russians only did it because of the space race with the US. And the russians only failed because they were doing it in the 70's with russian tech. There is no comparison with the high-tech methods that spacex has available to them. It's like claiming that building an electric car is very difficult because the first electric car in the 1800's was really difficult to build too. It's dishonest, and dishonesty is a recurring theme when it comes to spacex fans. SpaceX is doing this because Musk wants it. And Musk wants it because he has a god complex and needs the biggest of everything. The biggest car brand, social network, the biggest and most importantly *longest* rocket, yes he's compensating. And that is why they have spent $3bln or so in the past ten years and have yet to complete a mission. No, IFT3 was not a success, the starship lost attitude control on the way up, they failed to open and close the payload door and it burnt up on re-entry because of the attitude control and the fact that the heatshield tiles were dropping off like leaves from a dead tree. The booster was simply out of fuel, it crashed in the ocean at mach-3 and couldn't even try to light it's engines. Why can't you people ever be honest when it comes to SpaceX?

That really was something completely new and absolutely breathtaking pictures during FST-03. It is reminiscent of NASA's fast data transmission via laser at the end of last year. Until now, data transfer rates from satellites exploring the solar system have been quite low. Due to the old technical possibilities and the limitations of the Deep Space Netword ground system, which is now completely overloaded anyway and from which the control commands also have to be sent. The new data transmission rate not only makes it possible to transmit far more data far more faster, but we no longer need the completely overloaded receiving system, as this can now be intercepted with many telescopes. This really is a quantum leap aka game changer and we will probably now be able to receive video transmissions from satellites exploring the moons of Jupiter or Saturn, for example.

[@snoig1]

Slower orbital speeds at higher orbits has more to do with the distance for the object to fall than it has to do with diminished gravity. An orbit is essentially something falling back to Earth but having enough horizontal velocity to miss the Earth so the object stays in orbit. Higher orbits can have a slower horizontal velocity because it takes a lot longer for the object to fall the distance to the earth.

Not to be critical but I'm starting to feel like someone needs to be at this point. SpaceX isn't building "almost rockets". They have achieved a lot of firsts and no doubt it is impressive but let's be honest it failed miserably at doing what is most important launch a vehicle and return it to Earth. Even the payload doors failed. If building high quality space travel video relay was there objective then SpaceX has finished there mission and can go public today. But this of course isn't really even on the list of objectives. If anything startups don't want to show there failures in high quality to its potential investors. On a truly successful SpaceX launch this vehicle would have been much higher orbit. Remember this vehicle has no payload and was fully fueled. I suspect there public stated goals were not there plained goals by a long shot. NASA would have been terrified having a vehicle re-enter the atmosphere of this size in such an uncontrolled way. It could have easily been a disaster if parts of this ship rained down on a major city. They have been lucky and I do respect what they are trying to achieve. Watching there launches are both inspiring and hilarious at the same time. There is no show quite like it. Let's just hope the next high quality video shows a successful launch of a full payload vehicle to orbit altitude. Or starship may be just be another failed Elon promise. Of all Elon's businesses so far SpaceX has been the only true technological achievement so I truly hope they succeed. Even if I think moon and mars landings are point less.

@@evanraasch2203 of course SpaceX wants to go public they are already talking about IPO starlink. I agree it's too early to say they will fail completely. But none of there launches could be considered even remotely successful. Especially considering all the things that have failed were predicted to fail by experts. Like the elevated launch pad without water deluge or the large pivoting door. Or the stage separation. Or the trajectory control of starship. Even doubts were raised about the survivability of the heat shield. But sure those things could be considered learning experiences part of the rapid test process. But not really since experts reported all these issues before the first launch. But hay your right I may be being two critical here. They are progressing bit by bit so let's see if the next launch improves. Then come back to this discussion. It seems like they still have a vary long way to go though
