SpaceX has put something back into spaceflight that has been missing for decades: excitement! I haven't felt like this since the Moon landings days.

[@MGSSAB]

Drove over from Tampa with my mom. What an amazing show that was. Watched the boosters come all the way back and land with the naked eye!

INVISIBLE STAR TREK LIKE SOLID GLASS SHEILD FOUND 7,200 MILES AWAY THAT BLOCKS EARTHS KILLER ELECTRONS. PROOF EARTH IS AN ENCLOSED SYSTEM NOONE HAS EVER BEEN TO OUTER SPACE Invisible shield found thousands of miles above Earth blocks 'killer electrons' A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered an invisible shield some 7,200 miles above Earth that blocks so-called "killer electrons," which whip around the planet at near-light speed and have been known to threaten astronauts, fry satellites and degrade space systems during intense solar storms. The barrier to the particle motion was discovered in the Van Allen radiation belts, two doughnut-shaped rings above Earth that are filled with high-energy electrons and protons, said Distinguished Professor Daniel Baker, director of CU-Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP). Held in place by Earth's magnetic field, the Van Allen radiation belts periodically swell and shrink in response to incoming energy disturbances from the sun. As the first significant discovery of the space age, the Van Allen radiation belts were detected in 1958 by Professor James Van Allen and his team at the University of Iowa and were found to be composed of an inner and outer belt extending up to 25,000 miles above Earth's surface. In 2013, Baker -- who received his doctorate under Van Allen -- led a team that used the twin Van Allen Probes launched by NASA in 2012 to discover a third, transient "storage ring" between the inner and outer Van Allen radiation belts that seems to come and go with the intensity of space weather. The latest mystery revolves around an "extremely sharp" boundary at the inner edge of the outer belt at roughly 7,200 miles in altitude that appears to block the ultrafast electrons from breeching the shield and moving deeper towards Earth's atmosphere. "It's almost like theses electrons are running into a glass wall in space," said Baker, the study's lead author. "Somewhat like the shields created by force fields on Star Trek that were used to repel alien weapons, we are seeing an invisible shield blocking these electrons. It's an extremely puzzling phenomenon." A paper on the subject was published in the Nov. 27 issue of Nature. The team originally thought the highly charged electrons, which are looping around Earth at more than 100,000 miles per second, would slowly drift downward into the upper atmosphere and gradually be wiped out by interactions with air molecules. But the impenetrable barrier seen by the twin Van Allen belt spacecraft stops the electrons before they get that far, said Baker. The group looked at a number of scenarios that could create and maintain such a barrier. The team wondered if it might have to do with Earth's magnetic field lines, which trap and control protons and electrons, bouncing them between Earth's poles like beads on a string. The also looked at whether radio signals from human transmitters on Earth could be scattering the charged electrons at the barrier, preventing their downward motion. Neither explanation held scientific water, Baker said. "Nature abhors strong gradients and generally finds ways to smooth them out, so we would expect some of the relativistic electrons to move inward and some outward," said Baker. "It's not obvious how the slow, gradual processes that should be involved in motion of these particles can conspire to create such a sharp, persistent boundary at this location in space." Another scenario is that the giant cloud of cold, electrically charged gas called the plasmasphere, which begins about 600 miles above Earth and stretches thousands of miles into the outer Van Allen belt, is scattering the electrons at the boundary with low frequency, electromagnetic waves that create a plasmapheric "hiss," said Baker. The hiss sounds like white noise when played over a speaker, he said. While Baker said plasmaspheric hiss may play a role in the puzzling space barrier, he believes there is more to the story. "I think the key here is to keep observing the region in exquisite detail, which we can do because of the powerful instruments on the Van Allen probes. If the sun really blasts Earth's magnetosphere with a coronal mass ejection (CME), I suspect it will breach the shield for a period of time," said Baker, also a faculty member in the astrophysical and planetary sciences department. "It's like looking at the phenomenon with new eyes, with a new set of instrumentation, which give us the detail to say, 'Yes, there is this hard, fast boundary,'" said John Foster, associate director of MIT's Haystack Observatory and a study co-author.

[@mig4868]

That side to side boost back is just as badass as the landing.

[@Uslaunchreport]

Thanks !!

[@user-jt3jg633]

In your face China

[@aaronscottmatthews7883]

F A N T A S T I C footage the flattening of the exhaust plume during the entry burn is a mesmerizing phenomenon

[@fenorcity]

how can you possibly call this footage fantastic when it is cut together from camera to camera - the camera shot change , every few seconds reduces the launch to an event like its some cgi clip............ no need for such changes , so quickly - terrible footage

[@MzeeMoja1]

I love channels like this without unnecessary talk and unnecessary music. Great work!

[@butchcid]

Thank you for this! This is even better than the SpaceX tracking cams! Unbelievable!

[@-108-]

SpaceX literally ruined the coverage of this launch. It was the most infuriating SpaceX launch I think I've ever witnessed. Somebody over there needs fired.

[@pinkfloyddwc]

@@-108- they honestly don't need to even try to compete and waste resources with their own footage at this point.

[@-108-]

@@pinkfloyddwc Then they shouldn't broadcast launches at all. They need to make up their mind - sht or get off the pot. If they do broadcast, they need to do a better job, because it's abysmal and makes them look bad. If they don't, at least they aren't working against themselves.

[@ramosel]

Just amazing tracking gents... Privately doing what no one could do 40 years ago. Thank you.

[@christopherpardell4418]

Privately… sure… with massive public funding, and governmental oversight.

[@jimbob4456]

Do have any idea of the technological improvements there have been 40 years ago not to mention all the previous research done by NASA that they can draw on.

[@ramosel]

@@jimbob4456 Yes, absolutely, it's why I made the comment. I didn't say they developed it all or built it all... just that they are doing it, within their means.

[@christopherpardell4418]

In fact, McDonnel Douglas built the DC-x delta clipper prototype between 1991 and 1993, Thirty years ago, and demonstrated the ability to propulsively land a rocket. And they didn’t do it within THEIR means. They did it with BILLIONS of OUR tax dollars and engineering assistance from NASA personnel. They were PAID by the government in advance to develop the rocket. Musk’s investment paid for exactly 4 launch attempts with Falcon 1. ( which was not reusable ) and with the 4rth launch making it to orbit, they were handed 2 billion dollars to continue development, and have been award numerous multibillion dollar contracts since. So, Public, not private monies, PAID for the development of a profitable rocket and a privately held corporation.

[@patrickvanrinsvelt4466]

And even more impressive is that two more Falcons went up in the same week.

[@magnamic5614]

Those boost back burns were just beautiful! I can’t believe more people aren’t losing their minds over this.

[@RiskyVentureMinerals]

Agreed!

[@emoney822]

We ARE

[@unfurling3129]

Disciplined minds

[@bungfupanda8936]

Agreed! It's just an incredible development, we are literally watching science fiction becoming science fact, I can't imagine what the next 20 years will bring for space flight!

[@hkguitar1984]

I am, it's so amazing to watch a rocket land.

[@vonpredator]

THIS was the video I was waiting for! Outstanding job gentlemen!

[@alexanderkenway]

This is easily the best footage of this launch. Wow.

Space X is an incredible company with very talented people!!!!!!! Keep doing your best!!!!

[@Johnny31297]

Unbelievable tracking shots of probably the probably most beautiful Falcon Heavy launch to date. Thank you!! 🚀🔥

[@philipteakle192]

Unbelievable. What a time to be alive! Many thanks for this wonderful footage.

[@luridlogic]

Those landings never get old. I can watch them over and over again.

[@rjw6487]

This never gets old. Go SpaceX!

[@MikkoKalavainen]

Awesome! Amazing how we can see the just separated boosters interacting with the center-cores' invisible plume. It travels up the boosters! That's one detail that wasn't visible on any other video. You guys ROCK!

[@seanwhatshisname1831]

Can see the computer keeping it on course reptro blast

[@clevergirl4457]

Just Insane tracking footage! I lost it at 4:12 when you could so clearly see the boosters pivoting under the boostback burn!

[@mariuquidiello]

Amazing really !! Making history every time !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕

[@maxqproductions1]

The side booster separation and flip views are the best I have seen!

[@GypsyTinker2012]

Literally amazing. I said "wow" like 6 times and I've watched ALL of the other coverage of this beautiful launch. Thank you for going the extra mile!

[@MarcoNierop]

Amazing! Cool to see that the side boosters are not completely back flipped when the boost back burn starts, the backburn itself is used to kick it in its correct trajectory, like a speed boat. Also cool to see is that the center booster is not fully throttled during launch, the flame is quite a bit shorter Thank you for this amazing video! Much appreciated!

[@Clifton100]

Whoa, definitely some of the best views with camera work.

[@JKACLULU]

Wooow rarely seen such a perfect image. Thanks for your work and thanks to share this here

[@jeffj2495]

Almost miraculous. I never thought I would see space vehicles re-landing like this...in my lifetime. Great footage too. Thanks for posting!

[@stevedemarest276]

OK... that's some impressive video.

[@pipingbob720]

Incredible! Much better than the actual SpaceX track they've been pretty wobbly lately

[@kittyhawk9886]

Breathtaking display of mastery of the technology! Easily 10 years ahead of the pack!

[@book3100]

Also, just as amazing to me, those camera mounts that make getting these videos possible. I didn't know they were trailers! I've never been to a launch and seeing the photographic equipment is rare for me. Awesome stuff!

[@chandlerdrummond]

Amazing footage!

[@WeBeGood06]

3:50 Awesome watching the Red Hot Plumb Impingement sweep up the Side Boosters as the Center Core accelerates away.

[@rjpx947]

Some really damn fine quality imaging equipment to make this reel.

[@BobTaile]

I love that SpaceX lady commentator. Such a great voice abd always so excited. I do wish the "Go this and Go that" would be dropped for something original. 50 years plus of "Go xxx" is enough. Please!

[@TheGamecockdad]

Been waiting since launch for you guys. Incredible! Thank you! 😊

[@runewinsevik8471]

Wow! This is the most spectacular boost-back footage I've seen! Congratulations!

[@ontheedge33371]

The Falcon Heavy is so rad it makes me smile and be proud to be human when it flies ,to see and hear it is just absolutely amazing 😂🥲🥲🙃

[@dphuntsman]

Outstanding as usual, folks!!

[@jezzluck]

I love how you could see them practically reverse their trajectories.

[@avayu2289]

This is some awesome visual and sound. Thank you.

[@lawrencefried5027]

Memories pop up of old sci-fi movie landings. Never thought it would be a reality.

[@josephius]

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in my entire life. Thanks for your incredible work man!!!

[@meshugeah]

This is absolutely incredible

[@dziban303]

You guys rock

[@Uslaunchreport]

Thanks!

[@DRHAT1]

Perfect launch weather made the event visible to us nearly 70 miles away! We could even see the two boosters firing and dropping back for several minutes.

[@SocksWithSandals]

Great tracking under such high magnification.

[@mrgriply]

Absolutely beautiful tracking folks

[@alexhubner]

This is SO MUCH better than science fiction!!... (really). Thank you very much for such wonderful views.... (breathless).

[@luckyirvin]

SpaceX rockets like no other these ground-shots give me shivers

[@marcos9204]

I was in Orlando for this launch and I had the previlege to go to playalinda beach with my wife and 2 children and spend time with other passionate rocket´s fans. We are from Argentina, and this experience is something we don´t have the chance to see in our country, and I think my children will cherry this memory for all their lives.

[@TheSpaceflightGuy]

Bro this is INSANE

[@RicoD5]

I am deeply impressed by the amazing footage you guys make. Every video is a true piece of art. Thank you so much!

[@-djs]

Amazing as always, thanks

[@Uslaunchreport]

Thank You!

[@suasponte8363]

That was amazing! This will never get old.

[@mr.manfredjensenjen7294]

The camera work is almost as amazing as the rockets themselves.

[@handsomeman-pm9vy]

That woman who is speaking has been taking lessons. Her presentation has improved a lot.

[@cheddar2648]

Did I really snooze through a Falcon Heavy launch? Reee!!!111!!!111!!!

Whoever handled the audio recording at 2:00 needs to tell everyone else how the hell it's done. Absolutely amazing with good headphones and a transparent DAC.

[@TOMKATPEDALS]

Amazing work thank you!

[@Bettina4257]

Thank you very much for this video - especially the LC1 marker at the end of the video was a great detail!

[@SpaceNugget82]

This was the best rocket tracking video and zooming I have seen so far! Well done! U earned my sub

[@DeathbyKillerBong]

thank you

[@tratzum]

Cameraman needs a raise.

[@daviddarrall9384]

The subject of science fiction! Just incredible!

[@ediiis11]

better than any space movie, and absolutelly real, hard to believe actually......beautiful!!!!

[@davidborrink137]

What a find on my feed today. I really appreciate the focus on the boosters "braking" after detaching. What a great view of those in action. Well done!

[@stefanschneider3681]

INCREDIBLE JOB! Just beautiful footage again, congrats! It sure helped that the boosters were lit up by the sun 😉. And nice look at your equipment at 1:03 😅!

[@dznutz217]

It was amazing watching it live but this is the best video capturing the booster return that I've ever seen. Great job!

[@JustMeTalking]

Excellent.

[@lnr12241]

The boost back burn is so impressive. I mean the while thing is but that boist back burn just gets me. Love it

[@jameswhatson6397]

Wow... very very beautiful. Fantastic!

[@alekspravdolib3720]

Красавчики! Запустили многотонный кос. Кор. Всё получится.!!!

[@nick4819]

I absolutely love the "fabric of space" look you get when the exhaust plumes from the boosters start interacting with the exhaust plume from the center rocket. It looks so fascinating.

[@FrankBenlin]

Very nice. Shots like these is why I like clear launch days.

[@erichanson3961]

Fabulous! Mind blowing.

[@paulpark1170]

Absolutely the best! Thank you sirs!

[@Aidan13547]

This is the coolest thing I have seen on youtube

[@erickrisler3555]

Amazing video. Wow

[@MrLewooz]

A funny thing (I'm 60) and followed the space conquest since 1969. Now the focus is brought on the boosters returning to earth while the I totally forgot about the main payload and it's destination...facinating!

[@jakerazmataz852]

For you kiddies commenting, I remember them wheeling a black and white tv into the the gym/cafeteria in 1969. This is incredible. And the fact it happens so much, that it's no big deal, is part of the excitement.

[@brianmcrock]

Fantastic!

[@jerrywatt6813]

As someone as a kid watched the space program live on TV here in LA watching the boosters land themselves is truly amazing!

[@scottprather5645]

About 3 years ago I saw SpaceX rocket from my backyard in San Diego as it was heading into the upper atmosphere During its final burn, pretty surreal looking. Definitely one of the cooler things I've seen

[@pabllo2004]

Never get bored of this
