  • man i live eddy and it shaked ma house and the sky was orange

  • Yea It is my understanding that there is some type of deflector that shields the north and east side of the rocket and in turn deflects that energy and sound to the west, which was where the video was shot. Do anyone know if this is true?

  • Soooo cool, thanks for uploading, were you warned? I have read no one knew lol.

  • I think they do warn those in the city through the local paper or something, but I live in a smaller surrounding city but I had no warning personallly.

  • When I was a kid they would test the saturn 5 engines at Rocketdyne santa susana test site and the sky would light up like this . I allways thought it was awesome !

  • Now is PRECISELY the time to invest in space and other high tech industry during the times of recession. Creating new jobs and in return possibly getting technology spinoffs that benefit everyone. U.S. spends less than 1% of its annual budget on space so the arguments against it are completely false. It's as if they literally launch money into space as opposed to pumping the local economy.

    Deadline maybe? Because to do these test I think they need permits and clearance and stuff and its only effective for that day of the testing. So if it got delayed they prob need to file permits and clearance all over again.

  • Why test them at night lol?????

  • It is ratlling your windows due to infrasonic vibrations. 1-16HZ OVER A 120 DECIBELS. The infrasonic sounds travel extremely far therefore it shakes your house.

  • of course it is scary because the rocket is outputting subsonic sounds 1-10hz at a 120-160DB. The sound of a rocket emits infrasound.

  • @stdavross666 This test was scheduled for late afternoon, but mechanical trouble caused a delay. It was midnight when they were finally ready to go. Liquid Oxygen boils off quickly, so it was either cancel the test for a week until they could get more LOX tankers, or else light it up. SpaceX is run by engineers.

  • I like how they decide to test a midnight when everyone would be up and adam.

  • Absolutely awesome

  • The sound of freedom!

  • Giving my subwoofer a work out!
