Watch SpaceX reuse a fairing for the first time for Starlink-1!!! 

I think Starlink is a catastrophic debris field waiting to happen

52:25 plot twist: it was actually Elon lol (I mean he bought the shirts)

2.03 hours ! a movie ! a demential work

40:39. look at that wird ring. BTW anyone watching 2019?!

why is the camera shaking at 37:51 ? I think its far away from the startpoint ?

If I'm not mistaken, that was the best landing to date. They stuck that landing! Is there new or enhanced software that helped??

Dudes right, dont ever sell your music

Hi

Tim: I love Everything Space! His videos: SpaceX, SpaceX, SpaceX, SpaceX, Aerospikes (with Elon Musk)

1st time it done something 4 times? LOL or how about 2nd time it's done something twice? or maybe it's simply done something once four times...

if 4 black powder rockets were used as an escape jettison system for a dragon capsule : dimensions would be length 36 inches Diameter 12 inches ,nozzle throat diameter 4 inches. I looked up the density and converted it to pounds/ cubic inch .0612 lb/in^3 so 8 of these at 10 inches in diameter would be needed. total weight would be around 1800 lb.

Tim.....I so can't wait for the abort test, I hope to make it down to KSC to watch!

My new Sunday evening tradition is to see wat @everydayastronaut has published last week and watch it ! Thanks!

I need some help with something So my dad has a bunch of bolts that he thinks came off of space shuttles, they look like they were gimbal bolts, possibly from the RS-25 engines, dad put a magnet to them, no stick so I am 75% certain these bolts came off of space shuttles

46:00 landing

DO A REACTION ENGINES VID WITH PROF. SIMON HOLLAND

+1 cold/hot water paradox

We need more videos, Tim, lets goooo!

Cool

What is that at 46:36 ?!

I liked your rant. It's when you're openly honest like you were, that helps reset our perspective of the humanity behind A+ content on LVlocal from people like you and joe and many other cool intellectual minds that just know how to bring big ideas into a wonderful learning and engaging experience! (Man that's a run-on but you get it)

44:31 host begins to rap lmao

What I love about SpaceX is they show that rockets don't have to be built and launched by only old white guys.

Ayelmar: "Basically, an RP-1 Slushie wiith a LOX chaser!" Since they pre-chill the engine with a bit of LOX, wouldn't it be an RP-1 slushie with both a LOX leader and "bomb" (during the burn)?

The SpaceX presenter thanked us all for "tuning in" which was nice. However, the online community really needs to find a better phrase that isn't a throwback to the days of radio and VHF TV. I don't have a frequency tuning knob on my laptop! How about "Thank you for connecting".

Skynet?

Got a general question. Why dont space companies and NASA design vehicles for short/smaller people instead of the so called "average" 6ft person of whom only make up 14% of the population? You can save so much money and weight. Being rather small myself (5'2" at 40Kg) I'd see it as a win! Besides Short people on average have longer lifespans and less health issues relating to back and skeletal problems. We need less resources and infrastructure overall to support us. Costs could be cut to everything. I'd imagine you could shave off a good 20-30% off of a manned mission designed for the "average" person. I mean, if you are long hauling your guys to mars and you want to save every penny you possibly can.

The spacesuit gave your channel more personality than a random YT explains channel.

I thought the first Star-link mission re-used fairings?

Did they catch the fairings again

;P HEY, As they are building a giant heavy Starship.. why not take something like the I-400-class submarine design into consideration? just put the old design as the front of the rocket with a twin fuselage in the rare, ad more canards and two super heavy's at the bottom- hell why not put an inflatable space habitat between the single fuselage and twin fuselage? (cant play kerbal, but id love to see a giant ship like that take to the stars :D )

One great thing about Starlink is that we should have good video of the landings whether they are at sea or not.

now we're wating for reusable fuel

You think people will stop clapping when the Falcon lands because it's gonna become so normal and frequent at some point"

Fyi, new to your videos as of a week ago. "Everyday Astronaut" still fits as a good name for the channel. It makes me think of the term "keyboard warriors," but for someone who likes space flight... And you mentioned a few times that you are learning all of this as you go(everyday). Keep up the good work!

Please do an in depth video of the Artemis program. Not enough about it out there just yet

shut up please when online launch is in progress!

Hi Tim from a wet cold London, just to say what a particularly interesting broadcast from you, thanks you. Your words re the feedback from your video posts is very apposite and correct that this level of connection between the most idle unconsidered reactive thoughts and praise between ourselves and outsiders is unparalled. keep up the great work and when are you in Europe? I missed your dates cheers jj

We saw the “cloud” of satellites from the cockpit flying from budapest to amsterdam about an hour after the launch. Amazing sight with us in the dark and them still in the light. Impossible to film though with a phone.

46:36 That seems liquid kerosene inside fuel tank which remains inside after landed. I would like to ask you to ask Elon to show us inside video after it landed.

Can anyone tell me the purpose of the four towers that surround the launch site?

Religious space X fan from Nairobi Kenya.....Big fan of your channel. Space x is truly a revolution

Did you see how slanted it was coming in & how much that bezel gimbaled last second?! 😱

Check it out

At 54:20 there was a glitch in the matrix. Wonder what that was all about.

Anyone else find the 1st stage engine exhaust "star" unusually assymetrical just before MECO?

That booster is obviously getting better at landing. :-D

*I just realized, you literally believe everything you’re speaking about. If you’re actually just playing a character, you’re very convincing.*

Hopefully, with StarLink operational, they won't lose video feeds all the time anymore! :D

Excuse me lady! But I believe it’s a nozzle, not an engine.

58:45 "Aerospikes are cool but not cool enough" I'm Dying 😂😂

58:45 "Aerospikes are cool but not cool enough" I'm Dying 😂😂

Soo... Douglas Adams was right about flying being just falling and missing the ground..?

That booster came in HOOOOT

Welcome to Stockholm for your tour! The nordics has no own orbital launchers but designs a lot of components for spaceships. And the first launcher pad in Europe. (esrange above the polar circle). We're at #11 in most spended govermental money for space and only have 10 million people. If you have any questions to prepare from a local, send a message. Everyone speaks English.

Hi! Based on the flatpack picture, can you do a rundown what's what? like ... I see the parabola dish, that part is obvious. The solar panel is _probaby_ the layers towrads the back, but for example, what's that black boom sticking out, those red things, the folded up "arm" in the front, and so on? Would be really interesting to get some details :)

This shits not real.

Thx Tim for streaming this launch and the explanations of the process. You don't have letters after your name but you are obviously extremely knowledgeable.

SpaceX On Monday morning, SpaceX launched one of its reusable rockets from Cape Canaveral, Fla., carrying 60 satellites into space at once. It was the second payload of Starlink, its planned constellation of tens of thousands of orbiting transmitters to beam internet service across the globe. When SpaceX, the private rocket company founded by Elon Musk, launched the first batch of Starlink orbiters in May, many astronomers were surprised to see that the satellites were extremely bright, causing them to fear that the constellation would wreak havoc on scientific research and transform our view of the stars. Since then, many scientists have been on a mission to better quantify the impacts of Starlink and to share their concerns with SpaceX. In response, SpaceX has said that it wants to mitigate the potential impacts of Starlink. But at the same time, the company is still moving full steam ahead. In October, Mr. Musk announced that he was using Twitter via a Starlink internet connection, as his company was requesting permission from the Federal Communications Commission to operate as many as 30,000 satellites on top of the 12,000 already approved. Should SpaceX succeed in sending this many satellites to low-Earth orbit, its constellation would contain more than eight times as many satellites as the total number currently in orbit. That move added to the worries of many astronomers. When James Lowenthal, an astronomer at Smith College, first saw the train of Starlink satellites marching like false stars across the night sky in the spring, he knew something had shifted. “I felt as if life as an astronomer and a lover of the night sky would never be the same,” he said. Most of the first Starlink nodes have since moved to higher orbits and are now invisible for most of us who live under bright city lights. But they are still noticeable from places with dark skies. If thousands more of these satellites are launched, Dr. Lowenthal said he feared “it will look as if the whole sky is crawling with stars.” Since May, the American Astronomical Society has convened an ad hoc committee with Dr. Lowenthal and other experts to discuss their concerns with SpaceX representatives once a month. At the same time, SpaceX has been working directly with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, a federally funded research center that operates facilities across the world, to jointly minimize potential impacts of Starlink satellites on radio wavelengths that astronomers use. But these conversations did not focus on light pollution, a problem presented by the reflective surfaces of proposed satellite constellations such as Starlink. At first, SpaceX said the complication would be minimal, and the new committee is trying to assess the impact and actively find solutions. “So far, they’ve been quite open and generous with their data,” Dr. Lowenthal said. “But they have not made any promises.” A spokeswoman from SpaceX said the company was taking steps to paint the Earth-facing bases of the satellites black to reduce their reflectiveness. But Anthony Tyson, an astronomer at the University of California, Davis, said that wouldn’t solve the problem. Dr. Tyson is the chief scientist for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope - a 27-foot, billion-dollar telescope under construction in Chile that will scan the entire sky every three days. The survey, the world’s largest yet, will help astronomers better understand dark energy, dark matter, the origin of the Milky Way and the outer regions of the solar system. But because it is designed to scan faint objects, it is expected to be greatly affected by the satellites. Dr. Tyson’s simulations showed that the telescope would pick up Starlink-like objects even if they were darkened. And they wouldn’t just affect a single pixel in a photograph. When there is a single bright object in the image, it can create fainter artifacts as well because of internal reflections within the telescope’s detector. Moreover, whenever a satellite photobombs a long-exposure image, it causes a bright streak of light that can cross directly in front of an object astronomers wish to observe. “It’s really a mess,” Dr. Tyson said. Knowing how challenging it would be to correct these interrupted images, Dr. Tyson decided the best step forward was to set the telescope to avoid Starlink satellites. While simulations based on the earlier 12,000-satellite total suggested that would be possible, SpaceX’s application for 30,000 additional satellites upset the calculations. “We’re redoing the models now just to see what’s visible at any one time - and it’s really quite frightening,” said Patrick Seitzer, a professor of astronomy emeritus at the University of Michigan, who has been running similar analyses to determine how many satellites will be visible and when. His preliminary results suggest that avoiding the satellites would be difficult during twilight - a serious problem given that potentially hazardous asteroids and many objects in the solar system are best seen during this time. The satellites thus limit the ability of astronomers to observe them. And Dr. Tyson’s early simulations also confirm the potential problems, demonstrating that over the course of a full year, the giant telescope wouldn’t be able to dodge these satellites 20 percent of the time. Instead, those images would be effectively ruined. SpaceX’s 30,000 satellites might also just be the start as other companies, such as Amazon, Telesat and OneWeb, plan to launch similar mega-constellations. “If there are lots and lots of bright moving objects in the sky, it tremendously complicates our job,” Dr. Lowenthal said. “It potentially threatens the science of astronomy itself.” Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who closely tracks objects in orbit, agrees. “There is a point at which it makes ground-based astronomy impossible to do,” he said. “I’m not saying Starlink is that point. But if you just don’t worry about it and go another 10 years with more and more mega-constellations, eventually you are going to come to a point where you can’t do astronomy anymore. And so let’s talk about it now.” While astronomers are starting those conversations, they have little legal recourse. There are no regulations in place to protect the skies against light pollution. “International space law is pretty wide open,” said Megan Donahue, an astronomer at Michigan State University and the president of the American Astronomical Society. While many astronomers have been concerned about radio interference and space debris, she says light pollution is a bigger concern because there are no rules in place. That means any path forward relies on the good will of SpaceX and other companies. “It’s more of a philosophical question,” Dr. Donahue said. “It kind of boils down to: How much do I trust corporate good will, and how much would a corporation care about the opinion of people who care about science and astronomy?”

Awesome Tim thanx

guys. what is the gray plastic bag at the second engine?

with all these starlink satellites and all the rest of the few thousand that are already out there, at what point will it be way to dangerous to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?

Hey Tim Dodd, my daughter was also born on February 27, 1985. She is married with 3 boys and lives in central Illinois.

I have watched almost every US launch since early 1960's and I have to say that this private company has literally put NASA to shame. In my opinion NASA is a dinosaur compared to Spacex. I am so proud of what they have accomplished so far and the best is yet to come.

Around 1:01:00... I agree, except they can make an awesome promo video/ad... Just imagine the voice over saying: "satellite connections so robust that even orbital rockets won't stop you from getting those head shots from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. (a split screen ad showing a FPS going on and head shots happen several times at the usual cutoff time... And the gamer yelling 'take that land dweller')"... Too bad it's probably too dangerous for them to actually pull this stunt off live on one of these launch streams...

Was SpaceX able to capture both fairing halves?

It seemed there was a leak in that curly thing just above the nozzle in one of the 2 shots of the second stage. And it seemed it was getting worse as the flight continued during that first burn. Haven't watched the second burn yet. (I may edit after seeing it.)

How did they recover the fairing? Falling from such a high altitude, the reentry and the splash didn't break all this things apart?

That droneship camera. Such a nice picture of the landing. All of a sudden this rocket touches down gracefully on the deck. Incredible. 10/10 perfect hover slam. Also that LOX tank camera. Shows how tight the margins are for such a heavy payload

It doesn't matter if I watch a rocket landing a thousand times, it never gets old. Thanks Tim!

How much fuel to collect the fairings vs how much fuel to make new ones?

240 ms f ping to geo 120 up and 120 back down plus whatever it takes to beam it up and down and normal ping of wire distances.

That F1 engine looks like it could be made into like a beanie hat.

when all the star links are deployed, how is anyone gonna be able to get anything into space without these hitting the rockets?

They need Starlink up so we can get uninterrupted video feeds

is there a crew onboard or is it automated?

It was awesome from the beach just there to the north. The little clouds that where made by the rockets even cast a shadow on some nearby clouds creating a black line on the clouds.

46:37 what am I looking at?

Spaniard here. It's not your fault, Tim: virtually nobody speaks English here. This has enormous implications such as not being able to apreciate or value the joys of the internet to the point where I commented Starlink with some coworkerd and their reaction was a resounding "so what?".

Once a Starlink sat is released, how long do you think it takes for it to orient itself and lock on to the starfield correctly?

UFOs at 43:10 left screen a few of them

This batch of satellites will be inserted at an altitude of 350km instead of 550km. Is it because of the heavier payload? Satellites being 40kg heavier each. At a lower altitude, satellite's lifespan will be reduced !

how did fairing capture do?

I would just like to comment on Tim Dodd's rant of the day. Now, after analyzing the rant for the last 10 hours with tone analyses, I would have to say..... (Just poking fun at people that over analyse everything)

--> As the 60 satellites slowly drift apart... (Only at 17,500mph?) 🤣

--> 01:01:30 = UFO?! 🤔

That stage 2 time is New York to London in around 10-15 minutes! XD

wish your dad best of all luck Tim.

@1:39:02 What was that white piece of debris flying by right after satellite deployment (other than a UFO conspiracy theorist's wet dream, of course)?

105 flat earthers have watched so far xD

I wonder, when second stage lights up right after separation it looks like it burst fumes into the interstage. Is the interstage damaged?

Ok, at 45:45, if you stop the video, mid-section between the nozzle extension and the reflective material. There looks to be a small jet of gas coming from the pipe that circles around the engine. Is that a leak, or is it supposed to happen?

Tim, I think you should only wear a spacesuit if Boeing, NASA, SpaceX or some other Aerospace company gives you one...

Did they catch the fairing of this rocket? I didn’t see anything about. Thx!

Great info and channel. I watch with the sound of and just watch. Cant stop laughing. Keep up the great work like you know like your you know like literally like awesome you know like.

anyone know about the fairing catch attempt?

At around 41:31 something white flies in view of the first stage camera.

What's the flying object that goes past afew seconds after deployment? T+1:01:34
