Anonymous Coward User ID: 77606890 United States 09/15/2021 08:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That was an absolutely amazing launch. Textbook jellyfish effect with directional thrusters from the first stage blowing through it like smoke rings. All lit up by the sun in a dark twilight sky. Quoting: zeumeuxt Thanks for the explanation on the “directional thrusters”. The night launches are the best!!! That “jelly fish” was so cool to see… really big too. I bet there will be some excellent photos. |

What if we launch a sub? Sure okay, but it will have to be heavy due to the water pressure. Oh. Hmmmm. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78565501 How about start off with a mini sub? Can't be too heavy, can it? |

Of course no uncut footage from the rocket from launch to space. It also just looks fake. Ya well if you spent enough time and training in simulation to handle some G FORCE? Dont know about you but i would be smiling like a mutherfucker aint nothin like the real thing,baby- and 3 isnt much. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80754768 Canada 09/15/2021 08:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Astro, please don't ban me.. I just have few questions and really want to know. I was a space cadet growing up, trust me. But this launch has me questioning the whole thing. #1- While watching the launch, I get they are seated backwards, but I am confused about their seat belts. There was multiple times when they were showing them and they were loose. #2 -Still with the seat belts, why are they not locked in with seat belts on a roller coaster ? To secure them in, in case of an event ? - But I guess I could answer this my self as you are going to say the g-force keeps them in place.. but still #3 - When they launched... and were experiencing g force.. how could their arms and hands move so freely ? #4 - When they got in to "space" with zero gravity, how come only the teddy bear was moving ... they were in the beginning letting their arms "float" , but their legs were not "floating" and then all of a sudden their arms did not float and they were fist pumping like before. #5- Can you explain the plastic looking back right behind the rocket, I am sure it is heat resistant...but.. wow.. I am seriously not trolling, and although I was a space nerd growing up, I am confused. |

You hit nearly that many g's on mission space at Epcot. Seriously, if anyone doubts that you can move your arms go ride that ride, they have you press buttons in the middle of it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77341289 United States 09/15/2021 08:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That was amazing…hopefully leads to a whole new era in space. Is there any footage of stage one actually landing ? I know it’s dark but have loved watching those rockets come back and landing. And Astro…maybe a dumb question…but have you ever been able to get actual time with the Hubble Telescope ? Not sure how that works nor who you have to be but seems like you have made some contributions that could lead to at least a slot on a team ? |

Never had any time on Hubble, I'm just an amateur astronomer, but maybe one day they'll point it to my comet. Who knows? |
