Slow Motion Footage of SpaceX Falcon 9 Explosion!

wat drugs to i need to make this look interesting and difficult to achieve

That’s pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

Let's see you do it then.

Nice! Thank you!

Its says footage captured and provided by by Tim Dodd....are you taking credit ? There is a lot of Poaching of other peoples videos and claimed as their own.

You need what you appear to lack: a brain.

Piss off asshole.

It espoloded when it hit the dome? how cum other rockets don't esplode then? Something's up!! "The test was a success and will lead to a human crew on the next Crew Dragon flight." you say now that they can esplode it they want to put ppl in it?!?!? nice suicide ride for some ppl i guess. crazy.

One day this application is going to be used for something very important
Wait for it. Knock knock

That was fantastic, thanks!

It did make me horny, yeah baby!

Yes, I'm taking credit for adapting my tracking software to the new model of LX200 telescope he and his team used to track the rocket. I worked closely with him on this launch. By all means, inform him I posted his footage if you like, he's already aware of it. He approached me about my software for this launch and agreed to let me use his footage.

No. It exploded when it turned sideways into a supersonic stream of air and was ripped apart by aerodynamic loads in a direction the rocket was not designed to withstand.

Because they usually don't shut off their engines at max-q, lose control authority, and turn sideways into the flow of air right when aerodynamic forces are at their maximum.

The test deliberately destroyed the rocket. I suggest you look up what the word deliberate means and stop making an idiot of yourself. The test proved the capsule can get away from an ailing rocket even at max q, the worst moment in the launch when the vehicle is experiencing maximum aerodynamic pressure (and the capsule then experiences even more under the thrust of its escape system). You can see the capsule getting away well ahead of the rocket in my video.

Watched it live but did enjoy the replay.

Thank you,

thanks for explaining the purpose of the flight

the Earth is fixed
it cannot be moved

It didn't appear that the capsule was intended to be recovered in one piece afterward. Did it crash down at speed? Curious why they didn't couple a safe landing test for the capsule to the max Q separation test if that is the case. Any ideas why?

Agreed. Nice catch.

Thank you astro

Ummm, they did. The capsule was recovered just fine.

Don't think I'd like to get on something called the Dragon Flight. But that's just me.

This is all so tiresome.

That's funny. I totally agree.

Then don't click the thread. Simple.

If you have a problem with me then just stay off my threads. Simple.

Thank God you're so awesome astro, I may have missed this whatever it was I saw in your stolen video.

Did you use Todd's telescope to capture the recovery?

Wtf was that vid?

Holy hell.

Didn't catch that in the first video. Looked like it was screaming down to the ocean. That test was a big step. Can't wait to see the next phase. Thanks for posting.

Please ban me so I can't be tempted to watch this bullshit ever again.

Stolen video? I used Everyday Astronaut's footage with his permission, attributed it to him, and labeled it prominently with his logo. Go on, tell him I "stole" his footage, he'll laugh at you for being so ridiculous.

The thing screaming down towards the ocean was part of the rocket, not the capsule. It was prominent and streaking smoke behind it so that's what I followed after the explosion. It was extremely cloudy so I couldn't see the capsule at that point.

No, not yet. I'm having too much fun watching you make an ass out of yourself by falsely accusing me of stealing Tim Dodd's video.
