This lift off was so so wonderful. Watching the first rocket come back to earth and LAND! I donβt ever get tired of seeing that. It is soooooo amazing!
Gosh, I am starting to think my country might be, sort of exceptional again. π₯Ήβ€οΈ
Its truly an exceptional accomplishment - especially in light of how the entire world claimed landing rockets and reusing them was an impossible pipe dream less than 10 years ago!
Heres an official video of FAILURE compiled by SpaceX itself:
because THAT is science! Fail! Fail! Fail! LEARN! Keep failing until you run out of ways to fail... then you can only succeed! Which is why SpaceX has the safest record in spaceflight and is also the cheapest way to orbit. Because they didn't "trust the science" they followed it. Thoroughly.
Also, this video highlights the "radid unscheduled disassembly" joke that they have always used every time a rocket failure teaches them a new lesson in how to not fail next time. I bring this up because right now political shills are melting down over this phrase because SpaceX had a test failure recently on their next-generation space ship that will not just land the initial 1st stage, but 100% of the entire thing making it fully reusable and reducing space costs yet again to the point where maybe regular people like us might actually take a space flight to the other side of the planet on work trips since it will eventually become cheaper to fly to japan through space than it will be to fly in a plane because planes have to burn fuel the entire time and space ships can coast most of the distance through vacuum.
Remember this the next time you see an indoctrinated political victim repeating propaganda about how they hate cheaper space flight because a test vehicle exploded. Science is all about learning from mistakes, pushing the boundary, failing, and learning and repeating until you can't fail any more.
Trusting the science on the other hand is about suppressing science and replacing that with indoctrinated political commandments that can't be questioned. And those commandments have shifted to "the environment must be destroyed" now that recyclable space flight is the enemy. The irony of the party that supposedly wants to protect the environment now taking a hard stance against both electric vehicles and recyclable space ships shows just how illogical tyrants are when they need to use their hate machine.
Meanwhile whoever was marionetting Biden left the astronauts stranded in orbit because Boeing not only couldn't take them home safely, they are so dangerous they had to assasin ate multiple whistle blowers in the same month which meant risking another high profile Boeing explosion taking out the entire space station was off the table... and allowing SpaceX to do it effortlessly is just an admission that cheaper and safer would be the nail in the coffin for their politically bribed government income stream... the launch tower that Boeing rocket that stranded the astronauts used on their way to being stranded (once - that isn't a landing tower like SpaceX's new one that catches rockets & refuels them for another launch) cost more than the most expensive skyscraper on Earth. Not because it actually costs that much, but because space used to be an industry where corruption was ridiculously profitable for criminals in power... and now SpaceX has ruined it. And Musk's DOGE will probably expose the spaceflight corruption in due time as well.
I'm curious when they rendezvous with the ISS and when they expect to be back. Are all four of the astronauts they sent staying or do some have to come back with the two being rescued to pilot the capsule?
I'm assuming the two that are getting rescued are only trained in the Boeing vehicle and not the Dragon, but maybe they all get cross-trained on both just in case.
How does the rocket go around those corners of the 'Flat Earth' ? π€π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π€£π€£
Thatβs easily answered;
First..
^ underrated comment
The same way it goes past flat smooth brains lol
the corners are banked like nascar.kek

How about Starship being caught by the tower?
Absolutely mind blowing! πβ€οΈπΊπΈ
Thank God. These guys have been on my mind for months, what a very high stress situation to be in for so long.
So glad this is finally happening.
My question is about FOOD....
How much did they have???
Two people can eat a lot of food in NINE Months....
And that's also one hell of a lot of POOP....
Did they have to ration the food out or what???
They're so high up, they could probably shoot the poop out a chute.
I'm thinking they probably have a ton of MREs up there for emergency situations.
We'll see how skinny they are when they get back! π

That is mind-blowing
"Go get" them Elon
Little did we know that MAGA and Space Exploration would become best friends!
Anyone familiar with the schedule?
I'm curious when they rendezvous with the ISS and when they expect to be back. Are all four of the astronauts they sent staying or do some have to come back with the two being rescued to pilot the capsule?

thanks nick
You're welcome.
its 3 astronauts and 1 cosmonaut. not sure but I'm thinking 2 will swap out with them.
Thanks, Fren.
Wow .... As they say, it never gets old. Goose bumbs from seeing this. Congrats!
Nailed the landing!
Has nobody seen the wires that help them βfloatβ? NASA is totally fake and ghey.
