  • what is it ?!!! Very nice !

  • NICE!!

  • yo! look at the very tip of the rocket...thats where the sound barrier kicks in

  • Good stuff..

  • I thought this was pretty awesome !

  • the wave are not from the passing of the sound barrier but the shockwaves from the thrust! you can hear the pops! the shuttle would be worse!

  • @Helicopterpilot16 Watch the tip of the rocket, you can see its going through the sound barrier.

  • @Noscaasi88 Yes, it does pass the speed of sound but if the cause of the visible waves were due to the super sonic shock wave there would only be one or two waves. and the waves here continue even after the rocket has passed through. The SRB's attached to this rocket emit successive shock waves rather than just the single wave. You are able to hear every one of them on this video.

  • @Helicopterpilot16 Go to the video creators channel and watch the full version and you'll see that the shock waves only appear when it reaches the speed of sound. it was flying for over a miniute before with nothing. Im not an expert but it seems pretty obvious to me that its caused by the sonic boom.

  • @Noscaasi88 I've seen it, The reason it only appears to happen right when the rocket reaches the speed of sound is because the thin Ice particle layer was at the same altitude at the time. Even if it wasn't passed the speed of sound, This effect would still occur. The exhaust is exiting out of each engine at many times the speed of sound and the expansion of the hot gases create the successive shock waves. if you were 100 feet away from this rocket while ignition, the sound waves would kill you

  • @slayemin You should research the Atlas V rocket first before saying anything. The reason there is no smoke trail is because it uses only liquid hydrogen and oxygen, which burn clean. Solid rocket boosters, like those used on the shuttle, burn dirty leaving smoke.

  • ITS FAKE!!! A real rocket would have a smoke trail behind the exhaust plume.

  • @slayemin Shut the f u c k up ass hat..

    Look at the footage on CNN retard.

    Try that footage you stupid f u c k ...If you pulled your face away from your step-dads cock every now and then, you might not look so stupid as you do right now

  • @TheMerriamLookout Your the dumbass here. Ask any rocket scientist and they'll tell you that rockets emit smoke when they lift off. do you see smoke? no? haha, guess it's A FAKE! u can fool some idiots, but not me. guess u were fooled! omg lmao roflbbq!!

  • lfmao!!!

  • stolen content lmao

  • It was so close! It was just forming.

  • @yasy588 ah orale!

  • That is soo cool!!! You guys were SSOOO lucky to see that happen real time!! This is like what... one in a millions chance... that the rocket hit supersonic just as it inter a cloud that allow this view!! Men I wish I could be there!!

  • @sebsunda This effect was not caused by the rocket traveling faster than sound, even though the title of this video indicates that that is what is happening. What is actually causing the shockwaves is the rocket engine itself. The rocket engine is constantly emitting shockwaves do to the nature of how it works. It is a constant large explosion. If this were caused by it traveling faster than sound, there would have been only one large shockwave emanating out, not a series of hundreds.

  • @philritter21: Thanks for the precision philritter21 but actualy when a body break the sound barrier, it doesn't create only one compression wave, it actually create a lot of them. The reason why you see only one when you look at aircraft sonic boom it's because the compression wave close to the aircraft are tightly packed together. But once you get far enough, they appear as separate shocks.

  • @philritter21: Secondly, a body that goes supersonic doesn't create only one shock wave. Yeah there is a big one just in front of the body, but other can follow suit. It all depend on the flow velocity around the body itself. (Basic supersonic fluid dynamic here!) If you look at the video closely, you'll see the first wave, then followed by an other set of wave. The second set of shock wave are, I think, a result of the engine exhaust as you said. (Well that's what's seem to be happening) (^_^)

  • @philritter21 yep but at the same moment the rocket was approaching max Q which is maximum dynamic pressure so actually it is realted. But you're totally right about the engines. The engines are blasting hot gas at Mach 1.0 exaclty Which is Transonic.

  • HOT physics ! ( :

  • HOLY physics! ^)

  • cool physics

  • 大きく鮮明に波が見えました。

    ありがとうございます。

  • Very impresive. Good job on the video! I just wish there was a way to replay that awesome crackling engine thrust sound that rips the air apart. You have to be there!

    @lame bacon...your mommy is fake and you don't exist.

  • Why do folk think this is fake? Trust me - I was there too and have my own video recordings of this amazing occurence. Plus NASA have issued a report on the sonic waves destroying the "sun dog"

  • what an amazing vid!

  • At 0:19 the sundog is already being affected by shock wave, even before other, closer waves are apparent. Excellent vid.

  • do you think people give a fuck enough to launch a rocket just to fake the footage?

    besides, it's not like you've ever witnessed this happen before

  • @lammybacon Trust me it's no fake. I have my own video recording of this! Couldn't believe the sonic boom shockwaves!!

  • nice

  • Go outside more often.

  • How original of you. Your lack of intelligence of the outside world shows. You can go back to your tin foil helmet and keep hiding from the outside.

  • This is amazing!
