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.

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@ultima8250]

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

[@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!

[@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 🙌✌️

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.💕🇺🇸

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...

[@stephendoyle3352]

[@madamecampsalot6384]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@papadave532]

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

[@squillen]

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

[@michaelhudecek2778]

[@mandymitchell99]

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

[@alanbierhoff6831]

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

Definitely your best video to date Xander. Awesome stuff.😁

[@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.

[@martijnharmsen5253]

[@brauntx9290]

No way! I'm stoked you drove all the way down here to South Texas. Good vibes 😎 Thanks for taking us on all your adventures. Glad you enjoyed your time while down here!

[@3upgaming12]

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

[@doorlopen]

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

[@Hammerdak]

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

[@deckstermasemola321]

More content that's what am asking for🔥

[@JeffWinter1]

Yep, it blew up, but apparently, it was a 50/50, and they learned lots. Like you waiting...patience. 😂👍

[@SnuggleFartz]

Love the different videos you’ve been sharing dawg, such a dope channel holy F

[@azzabazza3729]

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

[@danyyoceann4808]

That was just amazing!

[@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.

[@ihateyoutube7566]

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

[@GaryEllington-dy8li]

Space science & photography is so neat 👌 😊.

[@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.

[@journeyman7189]

Pretty awesome once in a lifetime experience Xander. Nate

[@EarlAlexBruce]

Loved this chapter! Oh and the Laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla)!

[@marklowe4260]

Love the beach shot with the rocket in the background!
