Wow! SpaceX deploys rideshare satellites in amazing view from space

SpaceX's Transporter-6 mission launched 114 small satellites into Earth orbit on Jan. 3, 2022. See the last few satellites deploy in this view, including EOS Sat-1. Watch the launch: www.space.com/...

Wow good job guys happy new year 🎆 ❤❤❤

Amazing !

[@DaveZee823]

Amazing.

[@cd5964]

Can anyone enlighten me on how various trajectories are achieved for all these different satellites?

[@jovalmathew]

The satellites have on-board propellant and will propel themselves into their desired orbit.

[@motonegros]

No littering!

[@HTtwentyten]

All Starlink satellites operate in a “self-cleaning” low-Earth orbit below 600 kilometers, meaning the satellites will naturally de-orbit in five to six years and burn up in the atmosphere, generating no debris at all.

[@Ethan_Roberts]

This isn't littering

[@jasperdsmith]

In the grand scheme of things, all matter is litter relative to space.

So is the earth flat???

Nope. Ancient Greeks figured that out.

Since you can follow these launches all the way up and down again for hundreds of miles in every direction, and you can (and I do) track the satellites by eye, and by their signals, from the ground... and triangulate their altitudes and get their groundspeeds with high school level maths, and get photographs of the bigger and lower altitude ones like the ISS, Space Shuttles (when they flew) Hubble, or Tiangong... and since tens of thousands of independent amateurs do these things, often nightly, in my country alone... even if it were flat, it'd be hard not to conclude that satellites are real machines at the altitudes and groundspeeds claimed, and rockets are the way they're getting put up there. So, when the FE guys show up claiming 'no-one has ever seen one' etc... the one thing I'm fairly confident about is that they haven't, actually, looked...

@@KorbinX hahah thats a good one... all right.. now that i got your attention .. lets try a thought exercise... lets pretend that hypothetically the video footage here is actually CGI- needless to say that in the hypothetical, the video is designed to convince the audience that it is authentic.. what would your thoughts be? don't be lame and say you "don't do hypotheticals" or that thats 'a dumb question"... no one here knows who you are, just go along with it...

[@salcan8930]

@@Ethan_Roberts oh ya? why not, bot?

[@KorbinX]

@Sal Can in that situation I'd have two thoughts: verification of supposed CGI is needed(not just because a Yoga Instructor said so) And/or What would be the point of trying to fake it? Makes absolutely no sense. Since that situation isn't the case: Don't make claims without supporting evidence. So since you made the claim, where's your verifiable supporting evidence?
