SpaceX Testing - (Alternate Version) SuperDraco Engine

This alternate version features the SuperDraco engine testing without music.
Original version is available here: http://youtu.be/PUUnYgo1-lI

SpaceX successfully test fires SuperDraco, a powerful new engine that will play a critical role in efforts to change the future of human spaceflight. These engines will power a revolutionary launch escape system that will make Dragon the safest spacecraft in history and enable it to land propulsively on Earth or another planet with pinpoint accuracy. In a series of tests conducted at SpaceX's Rocket Development Facility in McGregor, Texas, the SuperDraco sustained full duration, full thrust firing as well as a series of deep throttling demonstrations.

why does this look fake to me, it's clearly not

[Andy Soukup]

you're totally correct. video quality is directly proportional to the validity of your technology.

[Karl Otto Nitz]

It´s a real flame of an advanced propulsion. No Nasa tech. End of the announcement.

dont feed the troll, its the first rule of the internet, just ignore them and let them live in their ignorance

A rocket is a bomb, try something else, upgrade...

Money is not an issue for SpaceX or they should not have got involved.

Thing is clown, NASA isn't doing it themselves, they are using tax money and lying about bullshit, like Curiosity. You nor NASA has absolutely no way of proving that they actually went anywhere beyond the safety net of our upper atmosphere. Improper shielding will burn your ass to death.

[Brendan McGrath]

They didn't claim to make it to the moon, they did. And for the hold up, all the testing is to be capable of building a rocket to travel millions of miles, without killing the crew inside. And honestly, if you think it isn't that expensive or hard, do it yourself.

Everything is fake! Me you the sun the moon the chair you are sitting on. Everything!! I love being sceptical. This comment is fake tooooo....

The foreground doesn't match the background. The background is real, but the flame is animated, it's phony as hell, you can see it clearly. If you cannot see that, I feel so fucking sorry for you, really...

SpaceX is just more NASA bullshit, they have a lot to prove. They have all NASA's blueprints to make it into space, if NASA is claiming to have gone to the moon, WHAT'S THE FUCKING HOLD UP? Enough with the tests already, stop jacking off and do something, fuck that fake ass Mars bullshit...

[Guilherme Eduardo Carvalho]

I was hoping you could tell me why it looks fake to you.

[Jim Griffiths]

But will it blend?
