SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch. TURN IT UP!

[@VWJawbreaker]

The power they have is insane!

[@Volkswagenplanet]

It's amazing how often Elon Musk can turn these rockets around. It took NASA over a year. Great video

[@vintagespeedvw7864]

True. However human flight is way different and more complex and way more risky than non pressurized cargo flight. We were though launching 3 or 4 shuttles a year back in the day. We were getting it done!

[@Volkswagenplanet]

@@vintagespeedvw7864 yes we were

[@HapticGarage]

Cool stuff. Is that the metal buildings and garage doors vibrating from the rocket's SPL?

[@vintagespeedvw7864]

Yes! The ground also! Every building is virtually bomb proof. Can’t wait till Artemis 1 lifts off. Will be the most powerful rocket ever to lift off. This thing is huge. It’s pretty much stacked and mated now. We are waiting on the capsule to arrive to complete the stack. Just to give an idea here, it weighs 3.5 million pounds. The solid boosters on shuttle were 4 segments each, this is the same boosters but with 5 segments each. Same orange “ET” tank but now mated with 4 shuttle engines on the bottom. Just above the tank is the cryogenic fuel tank for the capsule. On top of that will be the capsule. On top of the capsule will be Launch Abort System in case of an anomaly which will jettison the rocket away from the problem!
