SpaceX Experiences Landing Anomaly on the Starlink 8-6 Mission

and here we go we have this off propulsion continues to be terminal all chamber pressure looks good probably not atet water tow [Music] fly go down [Music] toin it's orange my God oh my [Music] God in the 343 unfolds to go indeed we rise together back to the Moon and Beyond me be igniting in the Flair [Music] correct we don't need any more of [Music] these hello and welcome to another late night starlink on the N wait wait this is this is 30 9A no this is not Polaris Dawn Polaris daon is delayed Kevin this this is the wrong pad we're we're what we want Starling from slick 40 there we go there we go welcome to another NSF live stream Polaris dawn has been delayed until tomorrow but do not fret we still have some delightful Falcon 9 action from slick 40 That's the starlink 86 Mission which is going to launch a whole bunch of Starling satellites into low earth orbit and I am being corrected on our back channel it's not tomorrow it's Friday for Polaris Dawn so I a big dumb idiot I'm Jack Byer for NSF but thankfully there's much smarter people on tonight's stream including D wise D how you doing oh I am doing just great uh we got our cameras up from Polaris Dawn and we are out here on the Press site lawn looking at two vertical Falcon 9es but one that is going to launch this morning excellent chat thank you for the 5x fives so we know we're coming through loud and clear also out in the field braving the humidity braving the mosquitoes braving D's bad jokes Max how you doing man this the chaos and Calamity has already started and that is precisely why these late night starlinks do be hit different everybody good morning good evening or good afternoon depending on where you may be watching from and welcome to another chaotic night on Florida Space Coast indeed I I appreciate The Truman Show intro and also in the studio we have the one the only Sawyer how you doing buddy I'm doing great especially because as always this isn't your ordinary starlink getting in all the key phrases early so uh you know late night to be hidden different not your ordinary starlink remind me what else we got to hit later well I will sh shuttle horses bacon soyer I will be asking you exactly why this is not your ordinary starlink here in a moment but first I have to acknowledge that kmr Kevin Jan Michael Vincent Reed is operating the stream thank you Kevin for doing that that's the whole team y'all you are part of the team though if you out in chat land in YouTube world have any questions at Nasa spaceflight with your questions we'll see them pop up on some software we have running in the background but with that about 55 minutes to go until this Falcon 9 launches starlink 86 let's talk about why this is a little bit different Sawyer what exactly kind of starlinks is this Mission launching well uh this is launching the V2 Minis that were were used to however 13 of those include the starlink direct to cell which will be used essentially to create a cell phone tower in space there's already Partnerships with T-Mobile to make that happen so they've slowly been surely adding those up into their current orbital configuration and the rocket that will be flying it this time will be flying on a record 23rd flight so this will be the first Falcon 9 to hit 23 flights is that what you're saying Sawyer that's exactly what I'm saying cuz if we go all the way back you got gps3 svo4 sv5 inspiration 4 Starling 4-5 axium 1 Starling 4-10 Nile set starl 4-25 d27 D30 5-1 5-4 one web 17 Arab set 7B starlake 6-7 d23 D30 d 38- 44-49 - 59 and 10-3 thank goodness for that graphic we have on screen otherwise I would have never been able to follow what you said and as you can see the barge that the booster is landing on is a shortfall of Gravitas I mean that rolls right off the tongue come on that I could do that in my sleep I'm a little bit bummed that Polaris was delayed because for Polaris Dawn to launch within hours of the same booster that launched in inspiration for would have been pretty cool Max are are you a little are you bummed about this did you have any kind of photos planned for a dual launch streak or something like that or how do you feel Max give me a give me give me a che know what I honestly didn't make that connection of this being the same booster that launched inspiration 4 literally until you just said it which is honestly kind of embarrassing but it is what it is um you know yesterday when we were all somewhat convinced that they were going to try and launch both of them within like minutes of each other before that obviously did not happen right um I I plugged both uh trajectories into the Flight Club software thank you very much Declan um and yeah thank you Dean um a double streak shot was possible from here at the Kennedy Space Center because I am spoiler alert I am going to be on top of the VAB roof uh weather permitting for the launch of polaron and uh from that perspective a double streak shot and like merged streak shot was possible um so really that was the only shot I really had in mind to try and catch both of them because obviously while with our Naked Eyes pad the pads seem to be in somewhat close proximity they are indeed miles and miles apart for various reasons mostly down to safety um but yeah from the VAB roof that would be a pretty good angle huh 100% uh and you also at a good angle uh relative to the orbital inclination that both um flights would be would be embarking on so uh Starling Starling tonight is embarking on a 53 degree uh inclination which is heading Northeast and then of course Polaris is launching on a 51.6 degree uh orbital inclination which is uh equal to uh the inclination that the astronauts fly on to head to the International Space Station from Florida but obviously given their altitudes uh they obviously are not heading to the inter National Space Station but tldr they are both launching Northeast so if you if you are north of us say in new smina beach Daytona Jacksonville um you are going to get a wonderful view of launch tonight weather pending and you have clear skies not to say that you won't if you are south of the cape say around Patrick space force Bas Fort Lauderdale uh that any any or or anywhere in between it's not to say that you you'll have a bad view uh but the the rocket is launching away from you so the arch is going to look much different and much smaller from your perspective but yes um to answer your your to answer your question I did have one planned out in the event that both uh launches did happen on the same night um or simultaneously to one another uh but for various reasons that has not happened and will not happen we suspect for for a while but it is SpaceX uh it has not happened until it just might so you never know yeah fair enough um right off the bat I do want to thank some people for the support SpaceX Cowboy becoming a pad R member thank you homebound traveler becoming a padre member thank you Pablo M becoming a Capcom member thank you uh all of our members honestly you're so key to what we do and all of our member levels get different cool perks at C level and above you get access to our Discord which is awesome a whole bunch of different cool channels in there so Pablo pop into Discord and say hey apocalypse cow that's danger moo gifting 10 red team memberships so if you got a gifted membership be sure to thank danger moo I mean apocalypse cow rev head gifting five red team memberships and booster 1058 gifting one thank you all so much for the support ensuring that we can continue to do what we do D give us a little bit of a sitre down there in the cape what's the weather like is it cloudy what are we what are we expecting for tonight's launch well it is a pretty nice evening of course it is Florida so it is very very humid but there are lots of stars visible there are some clouds which notably clouds are the primary concern for tonight's launch it's an 85% go but cumulus cloud rule is the one that they're really keeping an eye on whereas uh upper level wind shear booster recovery weather and solar activity are really not of any sort of concern but yeah we are sitting about 49 minutes away from liftoff the mosquitoes are out in full force and it is beautiful night out here beautiful night minus the mosquitoes I'm I'm a little bit terrified d uh we had insanely bad mosquitoes here in Star base for like weeks and then it was hot enough and dry enough for a number of days that they went away but the last two days it's been rainy and I'm worried I'm worried for tomorrow night so I'm I am not getting eaten up right now but I will I will be getting eaten up tomorrow in solidarity with y'all out there at the cape well I have a a work outfit I can recommend for those mosquito filled nights does it does it remember resemble a be suit it it does awfully resemble a be suit yes very very similar just goes to show how bad the mosquitoes are and how dedicated you and Max are thank you Cape team for doing what yall do let's check in on the clock it's T-minus 47 minutes and 50ish seconds to go oh look it's the countdown clock there at the cape at the Kennedy Space Center press site with the Polaris Dawn patch but unfortunately no Polaris Dawn tonight that is now going to be Friday as we mentioned at the top of the Stream So It Goes space I hate this expression I hate this idiom whatever you want to call it space is hard I hate it it shouldn't be hard it's 2024 I don't want it to be difficult but you know what it's the truth and it's literally rocket science although this has nothing to do with rockets this has to do with Mother Nature it's weather science that's one of those things though whenever anyone's like oh why do we spend so much money on space flight and it's like bro do you like weather forecasts because weather satellites are super important for them that but then the irony of when a weather satellite delays because of weather indeed so it goes yeah for those who don't know the weather forecast for this particular starlink launch is 85% go for the last forecast from the 45th weather Squadron and uh Polaris Dawn's issue wasn't necessarily to do with launch weather but to do with the splash down weather off the coast of Florida about 5 days after liftoff oh so it was a boort weather not even boost Landing weather it was abort weather not even abort weather actual capsule Landing weather I believe we have a tweet from Jared isman that uh kind of explains a little bit about what he means cuz yeah at first my thought was oh it's uh drone ship weather no it's uh recovery weather in case of an abort no per Jared says our launch criteria are heavily constrained by forecasted splash down weather conditions with no ISS Rendevous and limited life support consumables we must be absolutely sure of re-entry weather before launching and as of now conditions are not favorable tonight or tomorrow there you go that's you don't hear very often you know what I mean I've already expressed on many of our streams my appreciation for Jared and the Polaris program but this just furthers that appreciation like detailed communication as to what's going on fantastic uh unfortunately you know no Polaris Dawn tonight but safety first let's jump right into it with some questions t- m is 45 minutes to go we're about what uh six minutes from fueling beginning give or take about 30 yeah tus 38 is when they give the go for it with fueling beginning at tus 35 all right well let's do some questions while we wait for fueling to start Charles Hall is asking do we have a clue which drone ship has the most Landings has anyone checked the back Channel where I asked Alex this question and Alex answered yes I have it is one of my favorites of course I still love you which is now out on the west coast that that had 106 laning attempts and 100 of them were successful I'm sorry Max is there something in your throat uh no no Jack no I'm I'm just I'm merely disagreeing with you silently okay which state is the most populous state oh I'm sorry it's California it must be the best coast oh I'm sorry which state launches crew not tonight sorry 99 have been successful so far the second launch tonight should bring it up to 100 for of course I still love you good deal yeah there is a Vandenburg launch tonight uh I believe it is about an hour after tonight's starlink from the cape we'll see how that goes we'll see how tonight goes maybe we cover both depending on how they line up but hopefully this one out of the cape 86 goes on schedule and uh and yeah and hopefully hopefully I'm back in La sometime soon and we can start covering West Coast launches again but at least there were your stats for this particular flight as well that were just on screen thank you Kevin thank you Kevin uh this is the first for the cape folks JL London is asking do you know if I can go to The Jetty Park Beach pier doesn't Jetty Park close at Sunset Max uh so they actually close at 900 p.m. on Norm on normal operating days uh but there are some launches I think on on more high-profile launches like NASA crew missions or say Falcon heavy or atas 5 or missions such as Polaris Dawn uh that they do actually stay open for into the very early hours of the morning um I have not checked their schedule to see if they're going to be open for Polaris on but it is definitely worth checking out out the website for Port Canaveral uh or going or going to the gate over at uh Jetty Park and seeing and just asking the gate agent if they're going to uh remain open for it uh with it being at 3:30 a.m. window opening I I would understand if they don't remain open um but considering the the high profile nature of this Mission I would not be surprised also if they are open so it's worth um it's worth asking it's it's worth finding out for sure good deal Max how tall is the VB JS web Productions is asking oh boy off the top of my head I want to say it's around 500 525 ft ding D ding ding hey there we go good deal all I I don't remember the exact figure all I know is that the VAB creates its own weather it can like rain inside of it or whatever it's like a common thing you hear about it's a common thing you hear about but the paos here often claim that that's just a myth like yeah like whenever whenever uh they take people in for tours whether it be Nesta social or private tour or or whatever is lined up like that's one of the first rumors that they end up dispelling which is kind of funny uh but given the just the sheer scale of the VAB once you're inside it let alone when you're when you're next to it on the outside once you're actually once you're actually inside of it inside the actual volume of the building you can understand why some why some people would say that cuz it is Absolut it is gargantuan in there Max can you just talk about the feeling driving up to the VAB I think it's the coolest thing when you first walk come into the gate and then you're driving down H what is that Kennedy Parkway or whatever it is that main road it's like the most amazing feeling can you talk about that sorry Jack I'm being a host no it is it is you're right please Max please and I have a tie in as well but Max go ahead you know the first time I I ever came to KSC was January 28th 2019 and that was by far in way the the single most pivotal day of my entire life coming here for the first time and I'm never going to forget um being on the tour bus uh from the visitor complex making that left turn onto State Route 3 Courtney uh Courtney Parkway heading up toward the VAB and seeing the the size of the VAB growing over the tops of the trees as you get closer and closer and closer and then if you're not heading over toward the Saturn 5 Center you make a right on Saturn Causeway and you are right next to the VAB looking directly at the Eastern face of it which is of course where the American flag and the meatball are staring at you staring at you dead in the face yeah the road the road that you can see on the right hand camera view that we often see Falcon 9es and encapsulated payloads and fairings and that car that's driving by right now that's that's the parkway you're talking about right correct yes um and you know I've been both myself and D we've been fortunate enough to to make that drive now ourselves hundreds of times uh to this point in the years that we've been we've been covering uh space flight from here and I got I have to say the feeling never gets old every single time I see the VAB getting closer out of my windshield the feeling is always the exact same and every single time that that feeling comes up I always think back to that to that one cold January day in 2019 where everything just kind of kind of came together and uh really turn my life in the the direction that that it is now into of course talking with you wonderful people bless you D just sneeze I'm not sure if you guys heard that we did oh we did no we're we're all we're all glad for that turn Max but my tie-in here is of course I'm in Star base so I have star base on the brain uh even though this is not a Starbase stream but the Vib is such a giant and imposing structure that you can see it from miles and miles away and as you drive towards it if you if you're fortunate enough to be able to drive on KSC property you get closer and closer and closer and it's just looming there just getting bigger and bigger even though you're miles away it's it's absolutely wild but there's a parallel to that and it's if you've ever got a chance to go to KSC or if you ever get a chance to go to Star base a very similar thing happens as you drive towards the launch site and the production site here in Starbase as you're leaving Brownsville there's a certain point where you can see very very easily the towers and production site meab bays and all of that and they're just such massive structures that you drive and drive and drive and like 20 minutes goes by and they just keep getting bigger and bigger in your wind screen uh I love this stuff hooray rocket infrastructure and and here's the thing with that ride as well again I've also done it maybe not hundreds but close to uh it's not just getting there cuz obviously you get there and oh my gosh it imposes upon you but then you're just waiting for a launch and you're realizing dead ahead of you is a rocket that's about to go to space and just to your side is this giant Vehicle Assembly Building and in your head you're like oh this is normal also which it's not it never is and also there's something about leaving the VAB you when you leave KSC seeing the VAB in your rearview mirror and going I'll be back right yes absolutely like that that last point in particular absolutely and then it's a whole other different feeling when you are allowed to go inside yes because it's big it it's gargantuan driving on the set and Causeway driving next to it but then when you are in a vehicle heading right towards the front gate right in front of uh the VAB and then pulling up right next to the door right next or right underneath the emis sign on the extension coming out toward the east then then you step inside and then you're like holy cow Flex I still haven't been inside or on the roof of the VAB no I still haven't that's that's that's so hard to believe but wow that I to see Jimmy Buffett perform inside of it excuse what he did a special acoustic performance after STS 135 uh for all the employees and you know they were people were having drinks and celebrating and somehow they let me into that as well so yeah got to see Jimmy Buffett perform inside the V that is the most absurd Sawyer Flex I could Poss I would never have guessed wow what can I say it was a it was a lights out day also like at 39a right now where they just turned the lights off in the pad about a minute ago nice nice work wasted away in VAB bville I don't know try harder uh booster 10 1058 they said Sending mosquito repellent spray thank you booster 1058 greatly appreciated Isaac Chapman gifting 10 red team memberships thank you so much Ma Mark M mther I'm sorry if I'm ruining your last name thank you for becoming a pad rep member and Rob vanroy also gifting a red team membership thank you all so much Sawyer I suspect this one is for you a question from space Wolf asking do the 45th meaning the space launch Delta 45 who is uh in charge of weather Ops there at the cape they say do they look at weather for the entire flight path including booster Landing or just around KSC and splash down weather no they uh keep an eye out through the entire part of the corridor that they cover on the East Coast so in fact when they put out what they call their launch mission execution forecast uh when they include the probability of violating weather constraints they have a section called additional risk criteria which looks at upper level wind shear solar activity and in the case of a mission with a landing like this it has the booster recovery weather and then you get something like Polaris Dawn and that also has Ascent Corridor recovery weather good deal we have a question here from Kyler asking wasn't Polaris Dawn supposed to launch from slick 40 I don't think so right Max I mean there were rumors going back and forth um I don't know if we had any official paperwork or notifications to say that yes it was going to fly from s 40 I mean that was the the great suspicion and assumption for a while that uh PlayOn and of course Jared's crew were going to be the first to I guess break that Tower in um and be the first crew to fly from uh the cape canaval space force station at like 40 uh but it is obviously as we can see from our from our cameras obviously stacked at LC 39a so uh but the next flight or actually the first uh flight uh with crew from s 40 is currently slated to be crew 9 which is uh which is I think dated to launch on September 24th so uh not too much longer from now um less than a month actually um so I at one point they may have been internally we had no knowledge of it but um at the moment obviously they are at p a so the first crew to launch from from slick 40 will be crew 9 that mission has no significant history markers whatsoever to it either oh boy but uh on a brighter note propellent load has started so they are going for tonight's attempt excellent you can see the tweet from SpaceX right there they are in propellant load D you see any Frost I'm trying to take a look I think I see a little bit of vapor potentially near the bottom I don't see a solid Frost ring quite yet so a little bit of condensation just a little a b okay yeah yeah yeah I I do see that now it is very subtle at first but uh that Frost ring will begin to rise as the propellant is loaded into falcon9 and it will certainly become a lot more obvious in just a few moments honestly definite Vapor showing now I it was more difficult to show at first because this booster has a as you can probably see all those white streaks going down uh the tank structure that that is where the teams have wiped away all of the soot to inspect all of the welds all over the booster and they also wiped the I don't even know if it would if I would call it the perpendicular weld like it's it's pretty much at the the common Dome between the locks and rp1 tanks uh is where they they they wiped away um and that is also white as the as the tank structure would be when it's being filled with uh with with cryogenic fuel um and OB there there there's no denying it now there's 100% Vapor forming at the bottom of the lock tank oh yeah it's already grown the the amount of frost and the amount of condensation we're seeing come off that first stage has already grown significantly as SpaceX continues to load propellants into the vehicle which is exactly what we want to see at tus 31 minutes to go Arturo is asking how many flights for booster we touched on this at the start of the stream but Sawyer what's this booster and how many flights has it done I know it's 22 but let's let's talk about it again spoiler alert um yeah if you expect me to run through the whole list again uh I'm out of breath for that this is uh b162 making its 23rd flight which is a record for Falcon 9 uh it's been about two months since the last time it launched however it still currently holds the record for the shortest Turner around time between missions of 21 days although that was a little while ago this one again as mentioned is about a 2mon difference between when it launched 10-3 and now 8-6 good deal I always wonder like what the variability is there in the turnaround time but uh yeah we won't make you read the whole list again but thank you for answering Arturo's question there uh also thank you to Elizabeth hopner for gifting 10 red team memberships that's honestly so generous thank you so much Elizabeth and two cool hip dude is asking what's the gift membership about well you know what uh very generous people can gift memberships to folks in chat I believe it's based on people who are active in chat and I believe there's a setting that you need to turn on in your YouTube settings so that you can get gifted a membership if you have not been and if you're like why haven't I gotten one uh there's a setting you need to turn on so uh so do that but you know what we're not all uh we're not all just sitting here hanging out we're we're this is this is work right so the the gifted memberships mean a lot because the membership program allows us to do what we do so the gifted memberships not only is it a way of supporting us but the people who do that the very nice people who do that are also helping out people in chat who might not otherwise be able to have a membership it's it's really cool so thank you to folks for doing that Oo we have an expost here a zit I don't even know what I should call it from Max Max what are we looking at here this looks like when they when they transported the the booster out to the pad Yep this is the the rig that they use to transport the boosters to and from hanger X and launchpads whichever whe whether it be 39a or pad 40 uh they transport it horizontally cuz that is how it is also transported from the factory and Hawthorne over to McGregor and then also to here across the highways and that is also actually what helped determine the diameter of the booster uh for flight and also just for I guess legality on fitting on uh US Highways uh but this is 10 1062 uh rolling rolling down the Cent and Causeway right in front of the VAB and the Press site uh and it was timed it was a very well-timed visit because I was just about to leave and I got word that this booster was going to come by so of course it was worth stopping and taking a few photos of and and of course here you you can very clearly see how dark the boo how dark the booster is in color now with with the layers and layers and layers of soot all over it uh both on the locks and the rp1 tanks and you can also very obviously see where the booster has been wiped down to have its weld structures inspected after each flight um very very dark very syy booster and looks very very weird where all the so has been wiped off but I gu that's what helps make make this booster very unique I always wonder uh and yes thank you Max a for these great photos and B for that great explanation but I I do always wonder you know there's ultrasonic ways to inspect welds there's x-ray ways to inspect welds there's also visual ways but like what exactly I would love to know necessitates wiping off the soot is it because it has to be visually inspected in addition to other methods as well um it's always kind of silly to me that they need to do that I mean I'm I'm sure it's some combination of both and truthfully I don't have a real answer to that just because I don't know uh 100% but I would assume it's some combination of course uh inspecting it visually but also the soot might get in the way of whatever of whatever uh scans they have um scanning of course the the the metallic structure of the tank walls I'm not 100% sure uh but obviously they have their reasons so I I don't doubt them right makes sense soer Steven Lewis is asking why scrub Polaris I mean the the short answer is safety but uh we talked about the Tweet we had there from Jared uh any any further thoughts on on why scrub Polaris I mean you don't mess around when you're launching crew right exactly well I mean they've pretty much said it the first time there was an issue with uh helium leak on some ground support equipment there was a quick disconnector that wasn't fully connecting as it should so they delayed it by a day and then this one again they are concerns over splash down weather on the coasts on both east and west coast of Florida this is a 5-day Mission so they're trying to look at the conditions in the ocean 5 days from now since this isn't an ISS Mission they only have a certain amount of supplies on board so their time that they can actually spend in orbit is limited based off of those consumables so they want to try and launch with the best potential splash down weather by day five as possible so they don't have to go into any of their extra reserves yeah you want to maintain that margin for margin sake you don't want to just use it up willy-nilly and they are as a reminder on poist on doing the first commercial Eva and that includes depressurizing the entire Dragon cabin even the people not going outside are going to be in a depressurized environment and if I'm not mistaken correct me if I'm wrong Dragon resilience which is the dragon that's going to be used on poone has been outfitted with additional consumables specifically for that reason and so yep it's all part of the trades in that mission you want to maintain that margin so that uh you can safely execute the stated goals of Eva and all the other cool things they're doing on Polaris yeah I mean they literally had to add nitrogen tanks that will help repressurize the spacecraft once they're done with the spacewalk and more than one in case one of them fails you can read all about it in an article that was written by myself on nasaspaceflight.com nice mods can we get that spammed in chat please for those of our illustrious viewers who may have not been all the way caught up on Polaris well guess what now I have a couple extra days to do so speaking of Polaris JL London is asking what is the likelihood of Polaris Dawn taking off on Friday do you want to try and tackle that one sure yeah that is a good question let me take a look at the most recent weather forecast so the weather forecast from the 45th for a 48h hour delay which is what we would be looking at in this case shows a couple potential concerns including the cumulus cloud rule flight through precipitation Rule and there's also a load of moderate Ascent Corridor recovery weather and of course on top of that there are still those concerns looking at the 5 days out from that launch opportunity for their splash down to make sure those are good and so that isn't directly accounted for for on this uh launch m mission execution forecast but hopefully things will improve and the concerns that caused the scrub of tonight will uh have cleared yeah and it's not like Polaris is trying to hit like a transfer window or you know Rond devu with something they're going to their own destination and they are uh taking their time to do it right so that's that's just fine however absolutely there are times that they can't launch as well cuz part of it is the record setting fact that they're going to be going up to a highest apy of, 1400 km farther than any other human has orbited the Earth since the Apollo program uh so they're choosing these crazy hours in the middle of the morning to deal with the reduced risk of micro meteoroid and other space junk basically that could hit the spacecraft right makes sense while we're talking about weather Johan is asking how many weather wings are there there's space launch Delta 45 there's also on the west coast the West Coast space launch Delta 30 so there's two the wi is there a separate one for Wallops I don't actually know the answer to this that's a really good question does the 45th cover wups or no I don't actually know I don't think so I think Mars which is the agency that that that that manages the Wallops facility handles that I'm not 100% sure um wall range weather office copy all right well there you go that I mean I don't know if you want to count that as three maybe two and a half but there you go Johan and there are a lot more I just Googled this I have to be honest there are a lot of different weather squadrons Fort Lewis has the first combat weather Squadron uh a whole bunch of different Air Force stations have their weather squadrons right um looking through them there's a 607th uh I don't think that necessarily means that there are 607 weather squadrons but there are certainly more than the ones that we are familiar with due to their correlation with space flight directly good deal yeah there's a hurricane hunters and everything so you're GNA talk about the two minus 20-minute Vent go ahead I say what about vent Hunters because there it is the T-minus 20 minute 20 second vent sorry to interrupt there it's no you're good I was going to say speaking of things we're familiar with it's the T-minus 20 minut event which goes to show that everything is progressing in the countdown smoothly Sawyer why do they do this vent yours was better uh yeah well you should you should have given me a chance to do it buddy I'm sorry Jack I'm sorry bump me down to a tier it's okay ding ding ding ouch uh anyway the T minus 20 minute 20 second event is done because the first stage or the second stage excuse me they start loading it with rp1 rocket propell one the refined form of kerosene which is at a more close to ambient temperature next up now that that's done they'll be loading in the liquid oxygen however that is super cooled so what they do is they prepare the lines they sort of chill down the lines to be ready for that super cooled liquid oxygen that should start flowing through it into the second stage at T minus 16 minutes excellent well everything progressing as we would hope T minus 19 minutes and change to go until liftoff of Falcon 9 launching starlink 86 in the meantime we'll continue to answer some of y'all's questions so keep the questions coming at as a space flight with any questions you may have and we'll continue to run through a whole bunch of them uh here we go here's one from Kyler asking what happened to b1060 wasn't it the flight leader for a while why is this booster this is me asking now why is this booster the one that's going to break the 23 launch record I I guess I'll take that one I believe that booster was expended on a previous flight so at this point that means that the only one that's still active with it is 1062 one of the older ones in the fleet there's a couple that are in the 20s still right now but uh yeah uh that one because I guess of its age and the mission parameters for that particular flight it was on was expended good deal uh Smurf Fett is asking do you know if Polaris Dawn mission is still a go it is not Polaris Dawn is now Friday night or wait Friday morning Friday morning yeah spoiler [Laughter] alert um let's see speaking of poone Johan is also asking why not let two other people walk as well on the Eva they're also in SPAC suits and all I believe Jared has talked about this a little bit there is an it's basically it's complex you have to have a tether you have to have your your Eva hoses and whatnot like your your life support hoses so two people is already complicated enough to have four people tethered and hosed in and it just becomes sort of a mess right Max absolutely and I think also Sarah and Jared are going to be using and utilizing those special contact lenses for their Eva as well and also their helmets are outfitted with cameras whereas uh kid or Scott potit as he as he says his name as and Anna their helmets and are not equipped with that camera and also they will not be wearing those contact lenses um so I don't know the the exact reason why it's it's 2 and two and not and not all four of them I'm sure it has there is a a safety margin built into that procedure uh as well um but I that's that's pretty much all I've know I'm sure Jared has said more about it but I just cannot pull it up at at the moment no worries I'm sure part of it is logistical as well based off of where the seats are inside Dragon but in general uh it's worth noting that these are individual space walks it's not like at the s s where you're going to have ev1 and ev2 out at the exact same time it's going to be the first person goes out then comes back in then the second person goes out then comes back in the whole entire space walk from depress to repress should be about two hours so you wouldn't even have time to get all four people out there too good deal coming back to tonight's Mission we have a question here from y it's it's Johan Johan just has all the good questions tonight they're asking does all that soot affect booster performance at all I mean they did not paint the shuttle tanks because of weight we've talked about this one a lot I mean a lot of people want to know what effect does that s have on the performance of Falcon 9 do they have to factor that in how does that all work so do we even know it it the weight that it adds is absolutely minuscule the difference is with the external tank you were physically adding the paint on the paint has weight it's a very large external tank uh you're talking adding 200 lb to the entire stack of just paint when instead you could be using that 200 lb to bring up cargo or experiments or things like that this is different this is just soot this is because of the carbon based reaction that happens essentially uh as it goes into the re-entry portion it flies through the soot and the the there was a whole scientific explanation but to keep it in the simplest basic terms it flies through the soot which goes on top of it and soot is very light so right it doesn't add any significant weight that they can't handle right Falcon 9 famously uses Super Sonic retro propulsion uh which is just a fancy I just like I just like saying that but it fights fire with fire as it comes in and hits the hottest part of Entry heating it ignites its engines that's the entry burn that we always talk about that we will see on tonight's Mission and that entry burn means that falcon9 is flying through its own exhaust and falcon9 is powered by liquid oxygen in rp1 and it's not like a full flow stage combustion Etc no it's it's just an open cycle engine and uh therefore well that plus a variety of other reasons means the exhaust from the Merlin engines is actually quite syy so it's flying through its own exhaust and that is why it gets Sy not because it's like charred by re-entry or anything like that it's literally just from the own its own Sy exhaust protecting itself against the re-entry heating because rocket exhaust is hot but it's not quite as hot as re-entry plasma so hey it works out and it's also worth noting that the soot comes from the fact that rp1 is a carbon based Fuel and of course that soot is a byproduct of the combustion between uh the rp1 and the locks and of course uh the the byproducts of that burn the soot um from the exhaust of course as we we've said um the the booster is flying back through its own plume essentially and that's where the Swip buildup comes from yep of course we have to answer this one Homer Gonzalez is asking any potential dates for Starship flight five I've said this on Star base update which you should all be watching weekly my current guess and this is a guess I want to be perfectly clear I'm guessing I don't know anything I have no Little Birdies my guess based on what I've seen in the past and what I'm seeing right now is second half of September to first half of October D would you agree or disagree with that assessment I think that sounds like a very solid assessment that would uh that that that seems to be what I would I would think here and it is a launch I can't wait for that is for sure but yeah that seems like a pretty good guess for when it might be guess is not the right word yeah I mean well gu guess is definitely the right word uh Max what do you what do you think maybe maybe a better word would would be guesstimate but I would I would absolutely I I would agree um I I would honestly say second half of SE of September over October I have this really weird sneaking suspicion that um while while a lot while a lot of people suspect that Starship flight five might slip into October I think it's going to potentially surprise a lot of people in fly in the second half of September if not closer to the middle of the month I don't know I could be dead wrong I'm not sure uh but that would be my uh my current guesstimate yeah logical Sawyer any thoughts exact same time as crew N9 just to make our lives difficult oh don't you dare go there stop it stop it stop it how dare you how dare you sir but yeah I mean if you're wanting to catch Starship flight 5 do not fret there will be plenty of indications and Milestones coming down the line and stay tuned to NASA space flight on all your social channels whether it's YouTube or X or Instagram or whatever because as soon as we know anything you'll know something uh Fearless Studios thank you for becoming a red team member and fearless Studios also with a super chat asking about when Flight five will happen well hopefully you just listen to everything we just yeah said it launches when it launches yeah sure enough soon TM the thing with Starship launches if you haven't figured it out by now is it's very Milestone based and until we have vehicles back at the pad until we start getting the various indications that we expect to see ahead of a Starship launch like not Mars or FAA authorization or even just messaging from SpaceX themselves uh you know you can just sort of each week until we get those indications push your estimate by about a week but yeah I I think you're right Max I think I think September is still abs absolutely on the table but we'll have to just wait and see what happens but you know what we don't have to wait and see much longer is Falcon 9 launching Starling gate 6 out of slick 40 somebody unmuted who unmuted who wants to talk go I was going to ask you uh why do they have to say not Mars before they launch because you don't want a wayward boat in any sort of exclusion Zone we've seen many many times before launch is delayed from that exact thing from Wayward boats in fact on shuttle Sunday this week we talked about I think it was STS 51b that came after C right I think that one was uh wased by CB yeah I think B was delayed by a wayward boat I could be wrong either way many launches have been delayed by a wayward boat including Falcon 9 Max what was do you remember the one that was delayed by the cruise ship which one was that I was just going to mentioned that um probably the one that has scarred most people here the most was the csg2 mission uh back in January or early February of 2022 um I think it was Harmony of the Seas from Royal Caribbean I could be somebody somebody correct me on the ship I think it was a Harmony of the Seas uh that violated the keep out Zone and scrub the launch at about T minus 30 seconds or so maybe less it was very frustrating it was quite frustrating because it was right at Sunset it was a perfectly clear sky and the light was delicious but then we but then over over all the radios and all the phones we hear hold hold hold and everyone just lets out the most frustrated and oh oh my God you could hear it from like three miles away people were in myself too because I wasn't living here at that time and I was supposed to fly home the next day and and I had to extend two more days to actually see it fly uh but yeah CSG 22 uh did scrub for pretty much a whole week but the last scrub was because of a cruise ship going too far and you were right it was Harmony of the Seas fantastic I I just realized that Kevin was making a a Mars joke yeah not not I yeah I did they haven't gone to Mars yet still working on Earth orbit that completely went over my head yeah I I was going to let you roll with it you know what else is going over going over your head in about seven minutes not mine I'm in Texas well ours it's Falcon 9 excellent yeah we are just under seven minutes to go we are about five minutes from the T-minus 2minute vent which is similar to the T-minus 20 M event we'll talk about that when it happens but in the meantime I want to thank snot Garden perhaps our regular with the worst name I'm sorry buddy but you have a terrible name but thank you for the five gifted team memberships if you got a gift from snot Gard be sure to thank them what a sentence that I just said come on Jack you got to chill just like Falcon 9 just like the nine Merlin 1D engines as we pass the team I 7 Minute Mark excellent engines chilling down because you don't want to Thermal shock your space flight Hardware you want it to be the appropriate temperature to receive the super cold propellants and burn them in the appropriate way speaking of propellants JS Webb is asking why does SpaceX use load and go for their Rockets D do you want to take this one why is SpaceX using load and go sure I can definitely touch on that a bit so it has to do with uh a combination of the performance and their use of super cooled rp1 and their liquid oxygen so they are loading the super cooled propellants and basically once it's full all of from the moment it starts loading all of that propellant is heating up getting closer to ambient temperature and also expanding and so they are continuing to load and then uh top off towards the end of the count but at the same time all of that propellant is expanding and so they need to maximize their performance here and there may some more specifics that potentially Sawyer can t on if I've missed a couple things here well you pretty much hit it I mean I'm not a super smart Science Guy but it's all about Newton's law right you need to be able to throw stuff out of the back end of the rocket to accelerate yourself into orbit and the denser the stuff that you're throwing out the more thrust you're getting out of it and one way you can make things denser is by cooling it way down and that is what SpaceX does it's a way they can get they can eek out just a little bit more performance from Falcon 9 so they use super Chell propellants and that means everything is tied to a very specific timeline based on the temperatures of those propellants all the way from when they start fueling at like tus 38 minutes but now we are at tus 4 minutes and change D and Max do we need to let you guys go and do your camera things yes all right cool uh yes that would be great I I was actually adjusting a camera setting uh that was the reason for said delay we are getting close to launch so we are definitely going to go hands on with our cameras here thank you all right good deal Max and D we'll see you on the other side thank you for braving the mosquitoes and thank you for braving the Florida humidity go Cape team go in the meantime Sawyer and I will hold it down at T minus 3 minutes and 30 seconds really quickly man's on Mars thank you for the Super Chat it's a new ship building code all cruise ships require a landing pad I'm here for it and Don Porter thank you for the Super Chat as well y'all the support means the world to us because we love what we do we we really do we wouldn't be doing it otherwise and we would not be able to do any of this without y'all support so thank you so much it honestly means the most Sawyer 3 minutes to go looks like Falcon 9 is nice and fully fueled what are we about to see in about I don't know 30 to 50 seconds or so well we're almost fully fueled at this point we should be wrapping up right around now the first stage that should be fully loaded with propellants rp1 and the liquid oxygen that'll be followed at about T-minus 90 seconds or so is by the completing of the loading of the second stage with propellants and then right now they've already retracted the transporter erector 1.8 de away from the vehicle and they'll continue to count down until especially T minus 1 minute when Falcon 9 enters startup the onboard computers take control that's also when the tanks are pressurized to flight levels hopefully we get the go for launch at T minus 45 seconds with aign condition happening at T-minus 3 seconds excellent well T-minus 2 minutes to go you can begin to hear the sounds of Falcon 9 coming alive on the pad I always love this phase of the pre-launch timeline stet really does feel alive and there you can hear from the loop locks load complete on stage two you can see it nice and frosty gosh that is a super syy fairing sword do we get any info from SpaceX on the fairings on this one they do not always say how many times or if they've been ref flown but I think it's safe to say this one this half at least has definitely been flown I didn't get to see the other gas launch close out just started all right launch close out started a minute and 20 to go that's that vent the T two-ish minute vent purging the line of all of those super cool liquid oxygen that I was using making sure the line is clear cuz you don't want fire next to liquid o or gaseous oxygen excuse me yep that would be bad here we go a minute to go Falcon 9 will enter startup we should hear that call out on a slight delay any second now Falcon 9 isn't start up there you go that means Falcon 9 itself is in control if it sees anything it doesn't like it will abort itself without the need for human intervention but hopefully it doesn't and in about 40 45 seconds or so there you go LD says go for launch we will see this rocket lift more Starling satellites into orbit so are you excited always indeed all right well weather willing rocket willing let's send some more starlinks into space t minus 10 or so watch out for that green flash at the base of the rocket that's the triath aluminum trial borean igniting the Merlin engines there we go and liftoff of Falcon 9 carrying starlink 86 into low earth orbit let's listen in down range all right going [Music] suic excuse me [Music] [Music] all right vehicle's already through Max Q as you can hear I almost don't want to talk over this sound it just sounds so good in fact chill started quite correctly and Loud tonight for sure yeah and the VAB squeal was extra nice and Loud too excellent you can see Falcon 99's exhaust plume expanding as the vehicle ascends into thinner and thinner atmosphere SL how long until stage seven about 25 seconds or so that's when you'll have Meo first main engine cut off when they shut down the nine Merlin 1D engines followed by stage St as you mentioned separation of the first and second stage and then sces one second engine start one which is when they ignite the single Merlin vacuum engine on stage two excellent fantastic track from the cape team tonight I'm not sure if it's Max or D but there you can see the exhaust plume Getting Thinner and thinner and there is Mo can see it on the SpaceX stream stage separation confirmed hey there you go wow and you can see the east coast of the US the Best Coast on the Le hand side you can see the view from the inner stage of Falcon 9 first stage and now you can see the grid fins getting roasted by that Merlin vacuum exhaust look at that what a view always beautiful view and then of course as it gets higher up the plume continued to our ground still able to catch that I believe that was Max still tracking the second stage fantastic work love to see that was confirmation of fairing separation the two fairing haves separating away those will parachute down and actually be reused again hopefully look at that you can really see the exhaust plume expansion that is fantastic second stage still stage two continuing to power those satellites into orbit as the first stage gets ready to head back and land on a barge in the middle of the ocean which I cannot underscore as many times as we've seen it happen What 300 times are on a nominal trajectory it's just insane yeah this one uh shortall of Gravitas is located about 620 km down range ready to catch and you can see well first off you can see on Max's track look how much that plume has expanded that is absolutely wild and then if we go back to the SpaceX stream you can see the booster is at an altitude of 119 km and it's still still climbing actually should just hit AB G this very second see the speed stopped yep that should mean now that it hit the highest point on thir trajectory and you can see the speed start to increase and now it's at 118 now it's falling back towards the Earth fantastic a lot of times you don't necessarily think of that it was the same thing with the uh shuttle srbs even after sep they still have continue to follow a nominal trajectory wow Max still tracking the second stage way to go unbelievable is not easy to do fantastic work from the cape team there you go you can see the second stage piling on the speed as the first stage gets a little bit faster as the gravity of Earth pulls it back and it gets ready to commence its entry burn here in just a moment as mentioned so far everything looking good with the Telemetry with altitudes with everything with both vehicles so we're on track right now good deal and uh soyer how about how much longer till we get that entry burn we were talking about earlier where Falcon 9 protects itself from the heating of re-entry with its own exhaust fire yeah that should be in about stages on a nominal trajectory about a little over 6 minutes and 12 seconds in of course all times vary because it is based off of data from the active flight not just guest themus from the ground right I always wonder uh like how much Authority does Falcon 9 first stage itself have and we recently got to see start well there you go there's entry burn of Falcon 9 we recently got that FTS has saved that factory tour of blue origin from uh friend of the channel Tim Dodd everyday astronaut and one of the things Jeff said in that is that uh new Shephard measures the winds on the way up so that it knows better how to control itself on the way down I always wonder if Falcon 9 does is like a similar thing either way yeah go ahead that yeah no that one was about 11 seconds after what was planned on the paper but that just goes to show The Following a nominal trajectory and nominal at that nominal little bit of plasma coming through the grid fins there absolutely gorgeous as the second stage continues to do its thing and power those starlinks into orbit coming up on Landing burn of the booster and then shortly after second engine cut off one that'll be when the second stage shuts off its engine for the first time those should happen relatively close to each other right I don't know that I've ever seen them this far apart from each other on the timeline usually it's like they're right on top of each other right uh it's about right about 15 seconds or so stage one transonic hopefully we get some good Landing views from the booster and hopefully some landing sound too or from the Drone ship right because asog has microphones on it it does all right well just a moment away from that fingers crossed let's see what we can see 2 and a 12 km up stage one Landing burn look at the velocity just getting scrubbed off stage two is in terminal guidance coming through the clouds gorgeous there's asog stage one Landing leg deploy Bingo right in the center oh oh oh no oh no no no no no no no that's not unal oh no I just caught the tail end of that oh my gosh you know that was that marked the end of a 267 consecutive successful Landing streak you know it's unfortunate clearly an issue with the booster on Landing there but that is a secondary objective we have SEO on the F on the second stage which means the Starling satellites which is the primary [Music] objective sorry about that it means the Starling satellites which are the primary objective of this Mission are in their appropriate orbit and will be doing their thing oh man though that's priority number one is that the satellites are successfully deployed that's uh that's that's not something you see every day no it is not um no in fact the last time he saw it was when 1062 and 1058 were going back and forth as to who is going to be Fleet leader and ironically 1062 appears to have suffered a similar fate um unfortunate to see but it is always worth uh keeping in mind that booster recovery is not um Mission critical so still a bummer my goodness uh yeah I mean it's it's unfortunate but at the same time this was the booster's 23rd flight and I have to wonder if SpaceX was testing anything out and I don't even necessarily mean testing any changes but we know that the Falcon 9 Landing legs have Crush cores in them perhaps one of the legs uh didn't lock you know I don't want to speculate but this is the 23rd flight of this booster normally with every other rocket on the planet you launch it once and it goes in the drink so yes a little bit unfortunate clearly an issue with the landing there but 23 launches ain't bad yeah that's still a record the inherent risk when it when it comes to being a falcon9 fleet leader is that you are literally in unknown and Uncharted Territory and that has been the case ever since they pushed Beyond 10 flights and we all were wondering when falcon9 was going to pop under because because of the stress and reuse uh a couple years ago and now they've gone up to 23 flights without the booster failing on Ascent uh unfortunately not having a successful Landing it did seem a little bit hard and just I don't want to speculate too much but it maybe seemed a little offc Center maybe there was too much of an angle coming down that maybe one of the legs got hurt and got the crush core pushed in too far on one side I don't know I'm also not sure what the the swells are doing in the LZ right now right it could have been it could have been a c State thing for all we know absolutely right we're just mentioning possibilities we want to be clear we we're not trying to uh speculate prematurely we'll wait for any information from SpaceX on what went down there but either way y'all are watching live we're watching live we're trying to just of talk about scrubbed off here's the replay oh yep it looked like a good Landing to me but maybe I'm just a dumb dumb and our lovely commentary with it too oh I hate my voice here we go let's let's watch there was sort of an Abrupt cut we didn't necessarily see the touchdown did it bounce a little bit like do we see a little bit of a bounce let's let's look again let's look again it looked like it hit hard is that why it cut so quick there go the legs deploying they look like they deployed fine that's a lot of fire at the end there never almost seems like the Merlin wasn't too happy and it wasn't scrubbing off scrubbing off enough speed could be or it looks some it looked almost like a potential fire after landing there too it's hard to tell but that flame going that high is not nominal yeah there's usually some residual fire after landing as the engines Purge and all that but yeah you know what uh I I I want to refrain from from speculating too too much I do want to point out what it is that we saw I'm glad that we did that but we will wait for more information from SpaceX themselves before we make any calls there but clearly uh 1062 suffering an anomaly on landing and we'll hopefully hear some more about that from SpaceX themselves either way seems like the Starling satellites are in a happy orbit right that's what counts at the end of the day they'll have one more burn to do and that usually comes at about t plus 55 is minutes and that will be scs2 and that burn should last a couple seconds to get it into its final deployment orbit where they will then release the 21 Starling satellites including the 13 with direct toell capability good deal well huh little bit of a unique one tonight I hey this is your ordinary starlink I told you star links do be hitting different and 1062 hit the Drone ship pretty hard hit it a little bit different yeah it hit it pretty different goodness gracious well we have some replays coming down the pipe so stand by for that in the meantime Jack New Zealand thank you so much for the support they say thank you from Canterbury New Zealand Fearless Studios thank you for the support as well they say what excites you most in the next four months booster catch Max what excites you most in the four in the next four months uh twofold uh poist on Eva and booster catch oh I should have said Polaris Dawn Eva that was a good answer uh D what excites you in the next most in the next four months uh I'm going to be a broken record here but Polaris Dawn in the Eva and uh the booster catch what about new Glenn I was just gon to say that was that's also making the assumption that it flies in the next four months that's fairer I was going to say new Glenn's based off of current schedules at least um and crew nine actually oh that's G beess of launching from 40 for the first time for a NASA Mission with crew right launching with two crew members on the sort of a rescue mission sort of deal I don't know if rescue mission is the right way to put it but yeah man with two empty seats for Butch and sunny right man's on Mars thanks for the super chat there they say how many burgers could you cook within the SpaceX barge Landing Zone about that many yeah enough enough Burgers Eric burgers or beef burgers oh my God Sawyer uh Conor G thank you for the Super Chat they say starlink 95 from vanderberg in a few hours will hopefully be of course I still love you's 100th Landing hopefully I'm sort of wondering successful in a row will they will they still launch the vomb bird one like this was a secondary objective on the Landing of the booster for this do they you know do they need to do an investigation I'm very curious as to what what happens next mans on Mars thank you for the Super Chat they say oh L it was a Kaiju and JC Davis thank you for the support to say looks like they ruptured something on Landing which may have been hard rest in peace 1062 thanks for the flight indeed wow Alex in our back Channel saying this is the very first failed Landing attempt for a shortfall of Gravitas it had a perfect run until now oh I almost 81 in a row I believe or 82 in a row you know there's there's this saying out there you know there's those who have and those who will and a short fall of Gravitas has had its day yeah and you know it's It's Tricky right like I don't want to just brush under the rug that there was an anomaly on landing on this one it's not meaningless at the same time it's so not the end of the world this boo again this booster had flown 23 times and that is part of this envelope expansion for Falcon 9 and part of SpaceX learning exactly what it means to operate reusable vehicles and in fact J Jack SpaceX just tweeted actually uh after a successful Ascent Falcon 9's first stage booster tipped over following touchdown on the a shortfall of Gravitas drone ship teams are assessing the boosters flight data and status and this was the booster 23rd launch lots to unpack there lots to speculate and think about uh but really we just have to wait and see what SpaceX Ops opts to tell us about what happened absolutely absolutely yeah and and it just once again goes without it goes to show that space flight is hard and uh you know you can land a booster 22 times and 23rd time unfortunately not the charm but you know what I bet SpaceX launches another Falcon 9 for the 23rd time in not too much time and I bet it land sticks The Landing I mean come on they make Landings look easy most of the time tonight was quite an exception absolutely it looked easy until it tipped over yeah right and there is the post from SpaceX there again after a successful Ascent Falcon 9's first stage booster tipped over following touchdown on the a shortfall of gravatas drone ship teams are assessing the booster flight data and status this was the booster's 23rd launch um status of the booster is that it's in pieces I think is is the assessment there unfortunately it's swimming part of it swimming part of it's fish food part of it's probably still on the deck of the Drone ship that's gonna make a very interesting drone ship return when it makes it back to beat me too it that's what I was just about to say definitely keep your eyes on Space Coast Live and definitely keep your eyes on uh NASA space flight socials follow Max follow D follow Sawyer follow Julia follow NASA space flight if you're not already I don't know why you wouldn't be but we will keep you posted as we hear more either way here are some replays some beautiful views from the Press site tonight and despite the anomaly on Landing the primary mission was a success and that is what we should all keep in mind Landings of Falcon 9es even though they become routine are a bonus the main goal of course is to send payloads into space which it did admirably let's take a look at some more replay angles here here's one from the port I believe is that a falcon 9 or is that a crane no that's a crane that's just a big crane yeah but that is where they process Falcon NES when they come back in we're talking about Rockets we're not talking about birds I don't even cran is that a pun is that a bird pun Kevin he's not even going to defend himself he already knows he knows what he did excellent views from the port there always love to see how rocket launches turn night into day beautiful D how was this one for you was it a good launch I I feel bad saying that that this was a really good launch after the landing attempt but the the sound in particular on this one was spectacular we positioned slightly differently at the Press site so we got a lot of the VAB squeal from our location and it turned out to be a pretty clear night here on the Space Coast yeah the VAB squeal really came through on the audio tonight which of course I am a fan of Max how uh how are you feeling it was a great track on your part like seriously fantastic work I mean I think it was okay uh considering the fact my arms were covered in mosquitoes for a lot of the time like there's nothing like trying to keep the camera nice and steady on on on Falcon 9 as it's ascending especially higher and higher into the sky and a mosquito Works its way in between your fingers and just sinks its it's spiking into you and just probiscus is probiscus I don't know I don't is that even a word probably um you know I don't have a fancy B suit like d but what I do have is 100% deep bug spray but your mileage may vary on if you actually want to spray yourself with 100% deep it kind of like makes me go numb wherever it touches on my body but you know what and damages airpods it it also yes it also Dam fantastic re oh look at that one that's a good one you love to see it by the way I do want to mention just really quickly even though uh we didn't have Polaris Dawn tonight Jared isid did comment on the booster uh Landing failure saying 1062 had an amazing run and I concur absolutely I mean we said it allll already the The Landing is a secondary objective of course you want it to go well sometimes it's not going to go well that's just the nature of expanding the envelope with a 23rd flight for our first time with a falcon 9 booster and uh that's just how it goes sometimes it's how you learn but uh yeah D thank you so much for being on tonight's stream I believe we have a slow-mo replay from you coming up here thank you for that as well always love having you on buddy absolutely always love to be here good deal well I'm always happy when you have a camera in your hand just keep bacon out of your hands cuz you're notorious for burning it Max thank you for being on tonight's stream and thank you for the excellent track as well hey and you know what this is why we we cover every single mission that we can because you never know what could happen you never know especially with with these with these super high flight boosters and they're only going to keep rising in terms of their flight time so uh pleasure is always sharing space with you folks and we will hopefully see you in just a couple of days for the launch of Polaris Dawn indeed thank you so much Max and of course Sawyer Sawyer my guy we love you thanks for being on well thank you now it's uh always a pleasure to be on and you never know what's going to happen on these late nights darling so we appreciate everyone staying awake joining us and uh yeah next up hopefully play St indeed uh we just flashed doss's information there follow dos cuz he's awesome that's me though I'm Jack you can see my Twitter and whatnot people don't care about me Kevin Show Yourself Kevin thank you for operating tonight's stream we appreciate you even if you have bad takes about ship 26 you know not everyone's right all the time I thought Kevin might I thought that might go Kevin into talking but no Kevin just wants to I was just trying to be nice it it's a sad night you know it is you know but it's not the end of the world like yes it's a bummer there was an anomaly on Landing but you know what so it goes and similarly here goes a nice slow-mo replay from D let's watch this awesome footage and say goodbye to be 10 60 2 1062 thank you 1062 yeah 1062 I'm an idiot absolutely gorgeous [Music] and here we go we have this off propulsion continues to be normal R8 chamber pressure looks good probably not water tower [Music] fly go [Music] down it's orange oh my [Music] God put that in the big bag 343 unfolds to go indeed we rise together back to the moon and Beyond if it was Ming it' be exiting in the flare [Music] correct you we don't need anymore Le
