Truck Camping at Launch of Worlds Largest Rocket

Drove down to southern Texas to fulfill a dream of mine to see a rocket launch and not just any old rocket launch but the first attempt at launching Starship, the Worlds Largest and Most Powerful Rocket ever made.

I'm shocked how close you were able to get. SO sick!!

[@siucracos]

Yeah, you can just drive right up. It's in the Brownsville, Texas area.

[@gadoosher]

@@siucracos That's really cool. The beach camping all in that area looks like a blast.

[@basheerahmed9481]

This video is easily one of the best ones on your channel. The sense of freedom, adventure and just enjoying the life in general are what I loved about this trip.

[@XanderBudnick]

Glad you enjoyed it my friend :)

[@dansiegel333]

Thanks for taking us on your adventure! The video had the quality of real life- excitement and anticipation mixed with down time, humdrum tasks, and some disappointments. But then the culmination! We all can’t do what you do, but you shared it with us.

[@bubblesheep.]

That was bloody amazing mate. I’m a huge space enthusiast too and seeing Starship launch had me in tears all over again!! I’m so happy you got to see it live, what an unforgettable experience!

[@BravoCheesecake]

That feeling in your chest when the pressure waves hit you is the best. It's what makes seeing in person worth it.

[@ultima3345]

My two favorite things: Spaceflight and Camping! This is officially my favorite channel!!

[@violentmeadow]

The birds laughing at you are too much🤣

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

Lol, I know. And the way he said stop laughing at me, was great 😂

[@madsrasmussen5536]

This gotta go down as one of the most epic and iconic Xander Budnick videos so far! Thank you for sharing that awesome journey!

[@FunkyAceFR]

As a foreigner I now clearly understand that famous Texan hospitality, people seem so friendly when you're in need!

[@cherylsibson2529]

What's amazing is that what took you 2 days to do, it takes 4 days to drive across Canada Bravo for you! For your FYI Nova Scotia has a fire ban going on, probably with most provinces this summer, extremely dry underbrush. So check before you go camping. Glad you had a great trip!

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

Wow Xander, that was awesome watching the rocket launch with you and the crowd around you! I could really feel the excitement and the genuine fun that you were having, thanks for sharing that with us. Hope you had a safe trip home and can't wait to see your next adventure 🙌✌️

[@papadave532]

I have NEVER watched a launch with as much intensity as you have. That said, I was on the edge of my seat!!!

[@TCUteacher]

Welcome to Texas and I’m so glad you had such a great time. How exciting to see the launch! 🚀

[@twomouseears4419]

Wooo xanders Got a girlfriend @xanderrbudnick

[@markb1242]

Goosebumps watching that thing take off, witnessed a part of history man!!!!

[@fcernst]

That’s crazy.. you can camp right there next to the rocket.. very cool.. Thanks 😊

[@bushcrafters3909]

Love the wide angle shot of the "Worlds largest spaceship" and the ancient Toyota.

[@michaelfilms8204]

Imagine camping and cooking behind the world biggest rocket ever, and you just did them for us. That’s awesome!

[@MHarenArt]

[@ele97735]

Welcome to the great state of Texas!

[@NZ_NATIV3]

as a space enthusiasts as well as camping hunting fishing ect this is the perfect mix lol

[@clearlyepic9958]

I cried on 4/20… it was so EPIC! and I’m all about epic. Watching that launch again with your reaction footage gave me the feels again! Thanks Xander!

[@atrinae]

I'm a space cadet but never wanted to see a rocket launch... until now! You and your new perm really sold me on it.

[@scottperine8027]

It’s always a pleasure and enjoyable experience to be invited to your SpaceX party 🎊👨🏽‍🚀🪅🚀🌗

[@squillen]

So cool that you got to see that live. Mindblowing event.

[@bradlafferty]

I've been loving this travel series! This one was magical, as a child of the first moon landing, seeing you catch the wonder of space flight! Go Xander!

[@xoMishkaa]

The two things in life that never fail to fill me with awe is nature and the universe so I loved this random side quest you took us on! Pretty trippy you happened to be nearby, happy for you mate

[@Critical_Cabbage]

Oh my god I got goosebumps during the launch. Epic! I have loved every second of this video series, thank you for sharing!

[@ayobali992]

Wtf that was so amazing getting that close to the Starship your so blessed my Brother 🤩

[@liamb9295]

“Sa’weet Baby Ray’s!”-Xander Budnick

[@ricardopena3995]

Bro, you were swimming in the Gulf of Mexico 😅

[@Alfie127]

"Yes he was in Texas on the Atlantic ocean",

[@tonyawhite552]

​@James it is the Gulf of Mexico.

[@Hammerdak]

That’s why I “ tune in” Xander. To watch you wash your truck. You never disappoint.😂

[@northernasatru7562]

That 4runner is beautiful

[@azzabazza3729]

Best video!!! The joy on your face when that rocket went up was so nice to see 😂

[@Johnny6586]

The screwdriver at the end had me cracking up haha

[@fayepotts3279]

I can feel your excitement during the launch, l was actually shaking with anticipation of take off! That’s not all but cried watching your pure excitement with the people around you. I love anything space related. Thank you for bringing us there with you.💕🇺🇸

[@Intreket]

When you got stuck, you had your traction boards upside down! Glad you got out and not out to sea.

[@3upgaming12]

That was spine tingling even watching at my desk at work!

[@marniejane11]

I love your boyhood excitement in this video! What an amazing adventure!

[@MichelLamoureux]

That was EPIC Xander! Thanks for this one!

[@ropshubop]

“Goodnight Starship” 🤯🤯🤯

[@crispy63]

Great video, glad you visited TX and the SpaceX launch site. I live in the Dallas area and have been down there several times to see progress. Hope you made it home safely.

[@156Beach]

Xander! What an epic event you brought us on. Great setting and epic launch! By the way those sausage sandwiches looked 🤌🏼

[@stephendoyle3352]

Another great video Xander.... lovin your channel since I found it.... all the best from Steve in the UK 🇬🇧

[@elizadances]

Your and the crowd’s energy at the rocket launch was palpable through the screen, thank you so much for sharing this exciting experience with us!

[@a.w.3438]

Wow, to be alive at this point in time to see this. Amazing.

[@redtruckpictures]

I once had a similar experience, but I went down to Yellowstone from Calgary for 5 days. It's the best feeling waking up somewhere completely different with an amazing view.

[@HenrikLaurell]

Soo awesome !! Great to tag along on the trip so far.

[@nilghaussy2041]

Best Crossover moment!

[@nordfald3740]

there is something profoundly wholesome about a grown man being as giddy as a schoolboy for something. It honestly made me almost teary-eyed.

[@jojejajon4315]

Very emotional, thanks for that Xander!

[@SimonSaysCanada]

Just awesome, man. From Toronto to Texas, and back again - with everything in between. Awesome!

[@pepetiscareno]

Bro, I'm so bumped down knowing that you were here in deep south Texas, I live in Mission Texas dude and I really wanted so bad to meet you and say hi to you in person, anyways, where I live is super close from South Padre Island and there's another launch attempt super soon in the coming months, you're more than welcome to our house if you wanna stay longer here in the valley, so, let us know bud, big hugs to you from me and my family...

[@mandymitchell99]

You should avoid using any scratched or dented nonstick pans to avoid exposure to potentially toxic chemicals.

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Now that was one for the bucket list. Sucks the launch failed, but still an amazing thing to behold.

[@UnPetitPique]

Wow! Thanks for that, I've seen all of the other vision but an individual's point of view like that was perfect, thanks!

[@magnumx70]

THAT!!! was beautiful thank you!

[@user-jj9yh3po6e]

Totally missed that you uploaded this video! Awesome to see you apprecaite the work SpaceX is doing!

[@ihateyoutube7566]

Nice one Xander! You made it bro! Glad You got to see it

[@CanadianSledDog]

Your excitement is contagious! Cool side trip. If you're taking that truck into the bush alone next, bring v-bar tire chains. They'll get you out of anything, even in 2wd.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

That was super cool!!! 👍🏻 This might be my favorite Xander video yet.

[@gonnahitcharide]

I enjoyed this one as much as you did, Xander!! My son Zander is a major space buff as well. Space-X for you, Space-Z for him. 🚀 🪐

[@paperclipracing3852]

I can’t believe you came to the valley I’m glad you liked the experience

[@marklowe4260]

I got to witness the Space Shuttle launch in 1989. It was incredible to watch. You could see it out 250 miles.

[@4wardlobster]

Welcome to Texas and enjoy the FREEDOM!

[@bloodyeyeful]

I'm 65 and I still wake up with a rocket nearly every day!

[@AmberLF]

The pure unadulterated joy on your face when it launched is everything I want to experience in life tbh

[@Shattuck-fg3yo]

I use to have family live in community near South Padre Island, beautiful place, visited a nature preserve with alligators and other wetland wildlife, got to see dolphins, sea turtles, and jellyfish. Now I’m happy one of my favorite KZbinrs visited, hope you had a great time Xander!

[@JustVisiting]

A canoe trip down the Rio Grande from Colorado to the Boca Chica launch site would be epic.

[@Tc93412]

It's awesome to watch your videos because you follow your passions and are so authentic in your excitement! You have such a positive yet honest attitude!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Your excitement brought me to tears. Thank you, Xander. Life is good.

[@louisnault7333]

So cool to see the excitement at the launch. What a cool experience

[@dilshankavishka7059]

Absolutely love seeing a man doing what he loves.😊

[@tonyawhite552]

I live in Dallas and I was so excited to know that you visited the great state of Texas. Rocket launch was awesome even though it blew up.

[@darrendavidsonoutdoors]

That was pretty awesome! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@chrischorey9695]

Stoked that you got to see the launch! 👍

[@marklowe4260]

Love the beach shot with the rocket in the background!

[@michelrparis]

What an experience. Love to hear you are a space nerd as well!

[@doorlopen]

So cool that you went seeing the launch! Thats on my wishing list.

[@AdventuresWithLoki]

Glad you made the drive over to watch the launch. Thanks for taking us with you Xander and sharing your experience! Top notch as always!

[@dennisryckman5210]

That is REALLY COOL Dude!

[@XanderBudnick]

Tyty :) it was a blast

[@keysonthego3663]

This is awesome, thanks for taking us along your adventures.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Thanks again for sharing Xander

[@TheBernie8822]

That is now on my bucket list!!!! How amazing!!!!

[@michaelhudecek2778]

Thank you for a great video! I'm glad you had a great time and you are elated!!

[@larryhutchinson4271]

That is awesome to be able to get that close and take pictures too, back in 1966 when America was trying to get men to the moon we made a trip from Upstate New York to Florida for Christmas vacation, I remember driving some of the roads at cape canaveral and my father stopped to take a picture and an official vehicle stopped and took his film, I was so scared we were going to jail..

[@customcarz]

Im so jealous! I was screaming at my TV when it launched haha

[@lanesworld4000]

Always look forward to your videos ❤ The Toyota is really putting down the miles 😮 Safe trip home. I hope you get back to the desert again soon.

[@rhodavanleer3393]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@IvanAschaulov]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! what an amazing video! - from start to an epic finish! Very happy for you seeing this LIVE! 🚀

[@johnsutherland6322]

Brilliant viewing zander

[@davidhdz3421]

Man, you passed by my hometown of San Antonio. Never thought you would visit Texas. That's awesome.

[@alaphay]

That's awesome Xander! I was there too, and waited on South Padre Island, TX til 4/20. It was nice to relax for those few days, and it was worth waiting for the launch to happen.

[@innernerdcollector]

Best videos yet, the happiness you got from watching the Rocket launch was pure joy, your face just looked so happy

[@soonersherewego]

Awesome as always. I am addicted to your vids. I can barely wait for the next one. And when one comes out I have it watched ASAP. I would love for you to do one when you get home on things you saw a lot of here but not in Canada and vise versa. It sounds like you had a great time on your trip. I am so glad. Your videos really captured all the great times you had.

[@ruudsmith3836]

such a cook! Bud..it's the red onions that complete the meal prep

[@funkydozer]

Like a giant ripping the fabric of the sky in two. Truly awesome and a great video, thanks for sharing

[@astroguy5364]

Two of my biggest interests in one vid?? HELL yes
