Blastoff! SpaceX launches US spy satellites on 100th Falcon 9 flight of 2024

[@stevencaskey8502]

I was going to make the exact same comment. LOL

!00th launch. Not !00th launch ever, !00th launch this year and it's only October. Let that sink in.

[@waynedrummond6583]

EXACTLY! Just with the Falcon

[@bobsmith6079]

I think Elon already used that line.

[@dennisk5818]

After watching NASA for years, this is so remarkable; getting the main stage to land on a barge. The onboard video is so special to have. Gives perspective to the altitude and velocity.

[@tosh9531]

Or catching it with chopsticks ❤ we were lucky to hit the Atlantic on the Eastern test range!

[@agustinvelazques3748]

Love the view of the sky below, instead of on top like am used to! Awesome flight SpaceX team!

[@richardseton7014]

Great coverage as always, and thanks Jessie, great commentary!

[@markconley8763]

An average of a launch every 3 days...that's insane!

[@Franklin-jj4jz]

Shuttle was lucky to launch every 3 months.

[@danc2014]

The shuttle was designed in 1970s and basically used a 8086 computer with 1 Mb of memory. So a lot has changed we have the internet now too so you can send a message instantly instead of waiting 4 days

[@stevencaskey8502]

Superb. Wonderful pics. Thanks all.

[@hoffbd1]

Nice job SpaceX. Be proud that you alone are keeping America relevant in spaceflight!

[@Shadowsil858]

This is starting to become normal. It's still amazing! But normal.

I love to hear and see Jesse. ❤

[@c.a.nixiii4650]

So nice to see the FULL screen view of the entire decent of the Stage 1 booster. That is rare as they usually cut back to the Stage 2. And they have finally gotten the video solid all the way down! Nice!

[@RandyRaz1]

Amazing ! Love it every time

[@MakaiMauka]

Landing drone ship name never gets old!

[@Franklin-jj4jz]

There should be a competition to gather suggestions for future landing barge names. Me first: 1. It's ok, I'm a doctor 2. I promise I won't c*m in your mouth 3. Don't worry, it's only a cold sore

[@christinamlaverty8430]

I find it quite mesmerising & nail biting in equal measure. Utterly awesome. 😮

[@RonaldDouglass-c8t]

Does this mean that this rocket has been launched 100 times? I'm new to following this. I have seen some amazing things. I watched the moon landing and walk when I was 12 but this is so off the chart!

[@Taid44]

No. SpaceX has launched a rocket 100 times in 2024.

[@bendazkt]

No. This was the 100th launch this year. Launch number 21 for this booster so far in its lifespan.

[@slartybarfastb3648]

The record number of launches for a single booster is now 23, held by several boosters with 23 each.

I love Elon when he sticks to science and not ugly politics. He is a true visionary

[@kyanseidee8970]

well except allying with Trump .

[@evanmila4048]

Elon made it clear that Kamala's plan is to import millions of illegals into Swing States, and she will give amnesty for all of them. Thus, Swing States will forever become Blue States (like California), and there will never be a Republican President.

[@justthrowitgolf]

agreed .. he may in fact go to jail or be heavily fined for his election interference and paying rally attendees $1 million dollars .. all in an effort to guarantee his bought and paid for politician is elected

[@jamespalazzi7990]

What is so cool? Is the explosion of water blasted into the rocket pit? Most of it turns into steam and her little baby raindrops

[@timeresrch]

Put the units on the lower left in feet and miles, because this is not the European Union, nor is it France. And use the old NASA launch voice for countdowns. Your "skimpy" SpaceX voice does not work.

[@tosh9531]

Congratulations to SpaceX it went south.........China?

[@davecrupel2817]

I got banned on Twitter, before elan took it, it turned it into X. Apparently Twitter doesn't like calling out Brandon. So unfortunately I can't follow you guys on X.

[@mil-ns3rc]

I THOUGHT IT WAS TOP SCRECT. NOW WE KNOW IT WAS A SPY MISSION😊

[@slartybarfastb3648]

The payload is secret. It's impossible to keep a launch secret. Millions of people can see the launch with their own eyes, and tracking the satellite is relatively easy. Knowing the mission and capabilities of the satellite is what's kept classified.

[@BongoX2x2]

Well…..if you must know….it was a secret x-rated telescope to watch Putin drop a load in his gold toilet. The guy that used to flush toilets at Spaze-X told me.

[@slartybarfastb3648]

So what? The perform military launches. That's nothing new. Why would that be a problem?

[@JohnDoe-vr9gm]

just so you know, these things are orbiting over our heads only around 500km away in plain view. Anybody can track these, and even take video/photos with a reasonable setup, so there's no point trying to hide it. It's the same for every country launching spy satellites.

[@scaramonga]

Excellent views of our beautiful planet, just a pity it's all getting destroyed below today, by the very people who inhabit it.

[@crazyguy2050]

I just watched a video for the new Shepard launch, and then I remembered what is the relationship between a big brother and a younger brother. outcome big brother, never shares his toys with the younger one. Younger one wither steals or imitates the older brother. (From personal experience lol) Anyways congrats SpaceX!!!!
