Falcon 9 Launch - SpaceX - 6/4/2010

[Ondelendo]

I am very happy to see the vidoe Falcon 9 Launch SpaceX from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You

[bebeheuy]

I Love The Video Falcon 9 Launch SpaceX It Can Increase My Knowledge

[willamricard]

Nice Video Falcon 9 Launch SpaceX That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[imegatrone]

I Really Like The Video Falcon 9 Launch SpaceX From Your

[bundawartini]

Your Video Falcon 9 Launch SpaceX Is Very Useful Sharing

[spacegeek5]

That was a great flight even though the parachutes did not work that had nothong to doo with spacex. Great work spacex

[scorpioraptor]

02:57 haha 

[HBCult]

Great Video, do you know when the next broadcast will be?

[divedevil985]

Interesting how it "buffered" exactly when the gyroscopic forces from the turbopumps were veering it towards the launch tower. Disaster avoided by inches!

And how many times did it circle the planet? That is an orbit...not an altitude.

The first stage that was to be recovered disintegrated because of the g-load...only pieces were recovered. Not historic by any measure. this is no different than lockheed or boeing launching a rocket...it is still paid for by government.

[greenhorny11]

space X makes history? I can only laugh about this, spaceX has the money from the government, as NASA, so where's the history?

and "completly sucessfull"? not really, they couldn't save the first stage, as always. so it won't be as cheap as SpaceX says...

so in the end is to say, that theay aren't so much cheaper (if they are) as other...

[ethanhuwe]

It's historic because it IS a lot cheaper. The flight was ~1/3 the cost of any other comparable launch, be it NASA, a large contractor, or a foreign nation, with or with out the recovery of the first stage. Once the vehicle is fully recoverable (Space X's stated goal is ~5 missions) they hope to reduce the costs of the rocket by an order of magnitude (10x). That is historic, especially when you consider that the entire vehicle was designed from scratch not reused from 40 year old ICBM rockets.

[MrSueVeneer]

Buy Spacex when Ipo hits.

[TrickyGap]

Bring your kid to work day?

[Bosingr]

What TV show was your kid watching in the background? lol

I almost expected to hear, "Do you have the money ready? The Dominos delivery guy is here."

[iDeadman100]

this is awsome this is a momentouse moment in history

[aerotvnetwork]

aerotvnetwork was there live for the launch, watch our coverage.

[DanFrederiksen]

was there a satellite onboard and what was it?

[celljackingjr]

Fantastic super giant monster appears just before launch at 2:58 !

[RaymondCorrigan]

@celljackingjr

Omen much.

[Grundalizer]

I want to work for this company and colonize space

[seargentbrainfry]

was this the thing seen spiraling over Australia on the 5th?

[sirachman]

@seargentbrainfry Yes.

[ramir233]

noob uploader

[neithere]

i like the insect

[Kenjineering]

Science and Engineering at work!

[MooseOfReason]

Great stuff. Thanks for the video.

[hyperthreaded]

Is that the finalized payload fairing? Looks a bit thin to me. Or do they have multiple versions, depending on the payload?

[CookieMonzta1995]

FALCON LAAWWWNCCH!

[sixpacmac3]

my dad works for this company space x

[Kenjineering]

@sixpacmac3 That's awesome! Do you get free tours?

[idclip999]

awww shit!

my car keys are in there

[psyclistic]

jpexpc, let's make this a good day for humanity, which means not going down to the level of trash talking on YouTube comment boards. Stay in orbit, my friend!

[2012mayandoomsday]

P.S. Scaled Composites and space-X already won the race. Rocket engineers cheer for greater engineering success and education experience.

This is extremely sad and failed epic.

BP engineers can't fix pipes while engineers make successful rocket. Bravo spending during recession!!!

[2012mayandoomsday]

I don't get this.... Uhm... We .... uhm.... how to say this.... What's the point of watching re-inventing wheel space rocket that's already made in 1960s and 70s. We have NASA already. Don't know what's the sucess when X-Prize is over.

There's no one to compete. Geeze. Waste of time watching another NASA venture ...

Epic Failure.

[threeholerhauler]

@2012mayandoomsday

I am assuming you are trolling, because I cannot imagine that someone who is that clueless can manage to operate a pc. So, you think they should have stopped building cars once they built the Model T Ford? Should the canoo have been the largest boat ever built? Should the abacus have been the last step in computer development? Are you honestly that stupid? But then again, your name says it all. If you are convinced you're going to die in 2012, why wait?

[2012mayandoomsday]

@threeholerhauler

There's is no competition for Space-X. Who are they competiting for? No one.

Scaled Composites already won the race with over spending budget and 10 million dollars. Spaceship one cost 20 million dollars. It's waste of venture and capital needs. Founder who built Tesla motors ran out cash.

Dow Jones fell 9,900 point because rising unemployment. 2012 greater depression could be coming to.

[threeholerhauler]

@2012mayandoomsday

Space X is not competing for the XPrize. This venture has nothing to do with that. Scaled Composites did not care much for the prize either as SS1 cost way more than the $10 mil prize. Space X will be taking NASA and other payloads to orbit during the decade long gap that will be left between the shuttle and Orion. Surely you can understand that exploration and advancement is not about prizes. Lindberg flew the Atlantic for a prize. Can you imagine if he was the last one.

[2012mayandoomsday]

@threeholerhauler

Space-X is next to NASA Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. It's more of NASA beta verison of commerical space program. There is no competition. It's already won and won. It's right next to NASA cape canaveral.

It's more like sponsorship logo for NASA beta rocket.

[mach25man]

@2012mayandoomsday SpaceX is on Cape Canaveral Airforce Station. They lease the pad from the Airforce.

[Apophis122]

@2012mayandoomsday

The point? Seriously? Epic Failure? No. Epic failure is an explosion on the launch pad (for epic failure, Google N1 Russian moonshot or Vanguard 1). This is anything but an epic failure. With the Space Shuttle retirement, it is likely that this 're-invented wheel' will be the ONLY way the USA can access Low Earth Orbit.

Second Point: this is not a NASA venture. SpaceX is a private company. They have been awarded a launch contract with NASA. Do some research.

[2012mayandoomsday]

@Apophis122

I don't need to do NASA contract research. They already have permission from government agency to NASA contracts. Space-X isn't doing anything illegal. No one is excited watching Space-X rocket blast off up the air. it's like watching overseas space rocket and October Sky the movie.

Space-X. There's no one to compete. Who to compete? X-Prize is over....

[seuratguy]

I'd rather hear nothing than those dopes in the background.

[AdoptReality]

What a cool accomplishment. This was a significant moment in human's space-faring quest, especially if it is, as it seems, the first private enterprise to orbit anything.

Thanks for posting!

[Miodzik69]

buffering stream? idiot making video

[rossco1966]

@Miodzik69 negative. spacex server was way overloaded, and they have outages during the climb anyway. And at 8 mins, just before orbit they loose it over the horizon as they only have line of sight video feed.

[jpexpc]

@Miodzik69

Yes and your ass is on YouTube watching someone make history. Good job.

[ytmoog]

@jpexpc

Make history? In what way?

They are far from the first private company to put stuff in orbit.

[ingramjones23]

@jpexpc haha is that someone in the background watching a movie and washing dishes while you're playing rocket narrator? how cute.

[blackrabbitboris]

is this the spiral seen over Australia east coast this morning ?

[blaze3927]

@blackrabbitboris it cannot be, the timing is wrong by 65 minutes, and seeing over 10 time zones is not credible. There would be no rocket fuel left by 5:50 a.m. AEST. But what happened to the dragon space vehicle put into orbit. The light over Easter Australia resembles a low earth orbit intercept. The range over which it was seen (> 200 kms) is difficult to explain

[rossco1966]

@blaze3927 Sorry im from Aus. The falcon launch was around 4:00. The second stage went into orbit with the dragon boilerplate if im reading spacex website correctly. And if you watch the vid, the 2nd stage had a big roll problem at the end (elon musk admitted it in press statemet). Wondering if there wasnt programmed venting on first or second orbit of remaining 2nd stage propellant. This would come out as a swirl and light up in pre dawn at that height.

[Kapitananime]

Are children running around in the back while daddy launches the Obama Rocket?

What the heck are they thinking? Get a baby sitter!

[MrIzzydye]

Sounds like someone was being murdered in the background with all that screaming going on. Maybe that giant mosquito took out it's first victim.

[40thCapeRifles]

Great stuff! Thanks for the commentary. I'm interested to know what's going to come after the shuttle fleet is retired. Part of me just hopes they're not going to go down in history as America's version of the Avro Arrow or something.

And SpankBank...you obviously didn't understand that some of the background noise was coming from the feed itself. I think you might need to grow up a little yourself.

[SpankbankINC]

Im new to this industry but would it kill everyone to act a little more professional? You now leave your buck wild kids at home, quit having stupid conversations during a launch, and turn off that stupid tv. Also the retards fighting about the internet connection need to grow up.

[jpexpc]

@SpankbankINC

You may very well be the dumbest person on the internet. Your rationalization skills are amazing.

[rocketnerd112]

You can all stop criticizing his internet connection. I work for an aerospace contractor and direct high speed access to this video and it too was buffering. It was not your connection it was the actual broadcast.

Some of you guys really need to think or research before you criticize or say stupid things because now you look like an ass.

Well done JPEX for an outstanding capture!

[qwertythezippet]

lol @ mosquito

[AmigodeSagan]

Asi va el mundo....una empresa corporativa lanza el primer cohete privado a la Luna mientras millones de personas carecen de necesidades basicas.Que sera lo siguiente? pues seguro que el sistema solar se lo repartiran entre varias empresas y adios a otro sueño de la humanidad: que el planeta Tierra fuese nuestra cuna, y el universo restante algo fascinante que descubrir como especie adulta, independiente. Independiente del egoismo, el miedo, el ansia de poder y la ignorancia.

[Treknologist]

2:58 GIANT SPACE BUG!

[HD41117]

Man, that's impressive. Thanks for uploading.

Have you seen the Part Time Scientists' talk from 26C3 about their entry for the Google Lunar X-Prize? They plan to use SpaceX for launch and have a very cool solution to receiving data comms from their lunar rover. Video of the talk is available at media dot ccc dot de.

[Mihka]

Sasha Congratulations!

Сашка Поздравлёю!

[Zoomer30]

Wow, some of the braindead posts on this video prove the world is overflowing with dumbasses. If you want to call someone a "fuckhead" tell Musk, its his server.

[psyclistic]

"So anybody can just send a rocket to space?"

Uh, no. This took years of hard work from a collection of incredibly bright people.

[jurvetson]

I did a recording (posted in HD in Youtube) hanging off multiple T1 lines. Still had dropouts. So chill on criticizing the messenger.

[kliksf]

what is all that screaming

[lookmumnobrains]

Actually I like the children sounds in the background. Such a wonderful contrast to NASA. And it's not like they'll be bouncing Spongebob Squarepants toys off the firing control...

Good for them! Pity there were'nt four more companies just like them of course.

Now hopefully they'll have a better internet setup for flight #2!

Take that NASA!

[bluewolf20]

Sounded like someone lauching a rocket from the kitchen table with the screen door and kids in the background. Talk about a budget launch.. LMAO

[maffman2001]

Thanks for posting this I couldnt get the stream to work, either way thanks :)

and btw eveingniteshade your a tard

[jpexpc]

@eveningniteshade

Says the guy that couldn't watch it live.

[eveningniteshade]

@jpexpc I do appologise. Would you remove your video so people can see a decent version of the launch. You are getting most of the hits and yet your video is terrible compared to others. For the good of rocket fans.

[SpankbankINC]

@jpexpc grow up.

[ibanez122]

@eveningniteshade

You're an idiot. It was like that throughout the whole broadcast

[TheWaakoo]

@eveningniteshade it wasn't the internet connection.... it was the spacex server

[driverbob]

@eveningniteshade Can you talk in decent language? It shows your level of intelligence.

[slavish9]

thnks for putting that up.I watched 2 hrs of the countdown,on an elderly Laptop.......apart from using up a portion of my monthly "allowance" was worried the laptop,might blow up ! So packed it in,after the launch abort earlier in the evening (UK time).Anyway,your quality of video,looked about as good as what I got here. Main thing is though,new rocket, NINE engines and the damm thing worked WOW !!

[nd017]

Aggg! Giant alien insect invasion at 2:57 !!

[xsnut1]

wtf is up with youtube...slow as shit

[machalot]

The rocket narrowly escaped the attack from a giant mosquito.

[psyclistic]

@machalot haha

[thecoderdude]

Do you have dialup? That was painful to watch.

[jpexpc]

@thecoderdude

Most people couldn't even connect. For those that could it looks like they buffered at the same spots I did.

[ArbitraryConstant]

@thecoderdude

everyone got that too many people watched

[6313635]

Congratulations to SpaceX. Keep up the great work.

[Mpaxauthor]

What kind of goat jpex? ;D Thanks for sharing.

[jpexpc]

@Mpaxauthor

I'm not sure. I stole it from a neighbor.

[comamais]

GZ, We are closer truly cheaper space

[McdonaldSpecial]

is that screaming coming from the rocket or the tv?

[jpexpc]

@McdonaldSpecial

It was actually my goat out back. I was sacrificing him for a successful launch.

[RSMPromotions]

Awesome job SpaceX!!!

Thanks for posting!

[papagiglio]

@gucker07, maybe you should keep up with current events! read popular science once in a while. get the facts straight. Nasa has had astronauts working with spacex on the dragon program. nasa has already launch equipment to the ISS to support future dragon/falcon-9 launches. Launching from a nasa facility... what a ignorant comment. or maybe keep your liberal comments to yourself!

[gucker07]

@papagiglio

i know full well about the cots program. however, there are various factions within nasa rooting for failure of the commercial guys. it's still worse in the us congress. reading popular science doesn't tell you everything you know..

[papagiglio]

@gucker07- and how does this relate to your original "einstein" statement professor?

[ClarkF123]

@gucker07 NASA awarded them a contract for ISS resupply for the next 6 years. I don't think they could work with them more.

[xGamingCentral]

What is that fro where are they going?

[gucker07]

SpaceX rules. NASA needs to get out of the way or work with them, not against them. Same for the motherfuckers in congress who are only interested in useless pork for their districts.

[alexbracht]

thanks JP I couldn't get the launch from Spacex website !! awesome

[madcio]

Congratulations.

[cbarnes199]

This was awesome! What a great job those folks at SpaceX did making this first Launch such a success.

[yiyenadam]

private sector rocks! :)

[dks13827]

thanks for posting. what is payload of the Falcon 9 again ?

[ralpher05]

awesome!

[rossco1966]

Congrats from australia. well done spacex. Please try to launch the next one not at 4 in the morning! :)

[michaelxchaospolak]

@rossco1966 most of the people don't live in Australia :) it was just great time to launch, for us in Central Europe :-)

[TheMillionthAccount]

See you all at the space hotel's panorama lounge...

[RealityIsTheNow]

Awesome. GG SpaceX. We be right behind you!

[kanellas27]

i watched it live.way to go space x!!!!

[garyegray]

Wow, I haven't seen a plume like that since the old Saturn V's. Awesome, simply awesome! Way to go SpaceX!!!!

[nks487]

WTF with the background noises!

[jpexpc]

@nks487

I'm streamed the audio through my mic rather than through my computers audio. Was in a rush.

[nks487]

@jpexpc Sorry I wasn't being mean! Cheers for putting it up. It was a great launch, thought it was gonna be off for today. Hope SpaceX put a HD version on their site soon :)

[valcan321]

@jpexpc Thanks man this is awesome i wa at work so i couldnt watch it :(

[lopoetve]

THANK YOU!

[DavyCrocket2003]

Stupid stream buffering, lol! But anyway, Go SpaceX! I can't believe it! They achieved orbit on their first attempt!
