Replay! SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches secretive X-37B space plane, nails landings in Florida

[@Ishwolv]

Watching those boosters land in person is on my bucket list!

[@mehnameehjeff6325]

Went to go see the first falcon heavy and it got scrubbed and I had to leave and go back to work. I was bummed out.

[@marcreno893]

I was just staring into the ocean on Daytona beach and watched this happen. I wasn’t expecting it and it was awesome ! Certainly a sight to see on family vacation

It’s not exciting anymore.

[@antonbruce1241]

I have to agree. It''s very cool, no matter how many times one watches. I've been watching space ;launches since the 60's - and I love it all. What is REALLY COOL is watching the boosters return to Earth and land themselves!

[@alfonzo7822]

​​@@antonbruce1241 you're right about that, the precision is amazing to witness during the landing - one day I hope to see it in person!

[@Dumson5O5]

I’m in Orlando and I saw it for myself and heard the sonic boom it was truly amazing and a great experience at 13 year old

[@mindsigh4]

always cracks me up, when i grew up everybody called it a sonic boom, *_Sound Boom_* i guess is too funny

[@ruststar]

Congrats kid, you have peaked

Then why are the moon and the sun round round when you look at them-?@_123mrkrabz

Sonic booms correlate with interrupted development of heart valves in gestation and heart defects in infants born near airforce bases (before they.became illegal)

[@sjsomething4936]

It was actually delayed, it was supposed to go up earlier in December, weather issues prevented the previous launch if my memory is correct.

Wow, that little “shuttle” must have been awfully heavy this round… 🤔

[@111danish111]

How do the sode boosters get back to the launch site after traveling roughly 50 miles off downrange ?

[@carbon3397]

Boostback burn

[@elhanson5426]

Did they save/land the center/main booster? Or was it ditched in the Alantic?

[@carbon3397]

Idk man probably landed due to landing legs present on the booster

[@perrypeters3137]

What happens to the center booster?

[@Donkey21150]

It used all its fuel for acceleration of the payload, then fell down back into the atmosphere at high speed and burned up. It is a special service from SpaceX: they can launch a payload heavier than the normal cargo capacity of their reusable rocket, if the customer buys out the rocket for a single use.

[@BestFitSquareChannel]

Breathtaking!

[@kennypeters7138]

Compared to previous coverage, that was crap, where was the ground cameras?

[@graysoceanworld5662]

Why doesn’t SpaceX recover Falcon Heavy’s center core anymore? Is it really hard to land the center core with it’s remaining fuel left?

[@wanjauBaron]

They do sometimes. Most times, they use up that fuel for an even higher orbit.

[@dalethelander3781]

This was a special case. Space Force ordered the core stage unrecoverable. You want to know why? Phone the Pentagon.

[@raymondkennedy8513]

The other night I was standing outside of my house unaware of this launch. I live about two hours away. I looked up in the sky and I saw what appeared to be a plane on fire. I didn’t know what to think. I thought we were either getting attacked by missiles or a plane was crashing. But then when I continue to see this little red dot go deeper and deeper into space I said “oh shit… Did I just witness a rocket launch?“. I have never seen one of these before. It was a very cool experience.

[@karltraveldude7817]

[@danieldruce2953]

Does anyone know where the control room that they show is versus the launch and landing areas? Because i cant figure out why it looks like daytime there but nighttime from the bideo of the rocket.

I am still waiting, no Moonbase, no Mars landing, only telephones' that follow you around like a Bloodhound and TV with all those bloody endless advertisement's !
