    Falcon 1 Flight 3 Launch Video SpaceX

    Falcon 1 Flight 3 Launch Video SpaceX
    On August 2nd, 2008, the SpaceX Falcon 1 Flight 3 executed a picture perfect first stage flight, ultimately reaching an altitude of 217 km, but encountered a problem just after stage separation that prevented the second stage from reaching orbit.

    1. J Shepard: Brian Bagnall Yes, but so close. The next flight was their first to reach orbit.
    2. Vib3s: "Would you please let go of me 1st stage?" "BUT I DON'T WANT TO-HOO-HOO-HOOooo- *Boom*"
    3. komrad36: Wow! I have read about this flight and how Elon and team handled the aftermath, but I never thought there exists video of the residual thrust and collision! That's amazing!! And... with audio? Or was that added after for effect?
    4. hypershadw: 2:55=d'oh shit
    5. Ozéas de Carvalho Lima: From here to Falcon Heavy yesterday. Amazing work!
    6. Julio Aprea: Great article by Eric Berger
    7. John Thimakis: I read the same article. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/09/inside-the-eight-desperate-weeks-that-saved-spacex-from-ruin/
    8. John Thimakis: This was absolutely awesome footage.
    9. Brian Bagnall: The collision at the end of the video happened because the first stage rocket burnt for an extra fraction of a second rather than shutting down completely. When separation occurred, it caused the first stage to accelerate into the second stage and they had a collision which damaged the second stage engine. Total failure.

    AsiaSat 8 | Falcon 9 Satellite Launch Webcast SpaceX

    AsiaSat 8 | Falcon 9 Satellite Launch Webcast SpaceX
    This is the live launch webcast of the AsiaSat 8 mission which lifted off Tuesday, August 5th at 08:00 UTC.

    The AsiaSat 8 satellite flew to its intended orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceX’s Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral.

    1. Dainty Canadian: Congrats onnyet another succesful launch!
    2. Patchuchan: +Randy King That or use a cheap third stage which should increase the payload mass fraction for GTO missions and keep the second stage out of a high energy orbit. On the Delta II which lacked a high energy upper stage like Falcon 9 this was the Star-48. Spacex would probably do something in house using the Kestrel or Superdraco engine if they choose to go this route. Another option would be to use Falcon Heavy and keep enough propellant reserves for recovery.
    3. dkr000theOne: American innovation at its finest. 
    4. Zypofaeser: It wouldnt take that much. Af few houndreds m/s delta-v could probably do the deorbit. And they want to land the Dragon propulsively so why couldnt they land the second stage propulsively?
    5. Gokhan Polat: +Zypofaeser I think they are using the 9 Merlin engines, controlling them individually to control trajectory of the rocket reentering the atmosphere. This would not be possible with single engine second stage. #guessing  
    6. Zach Lewis: No, this satellite was too heavy to attempt a soft landing.
    7. EtherasFox: This one *was* GTO (geostationary transfer orbit). SpaceX posted about 1 week ago the video of the first stage landing in the ocean. So... the answer is: they're already doing it! Upper stage will be more of a problem. It has much more distance to travel to come back to Earth (meaning it will need more fuel), but its also going much faster (so will need more shielding, which increases weight). It might be doable, but we should focus on the easier job first and learn from it, and then apply that knowledge to see if we can get that upper stage back.
    8. Ole Martin Gjersvik: +Randy King Space X has said that the will continue to sell one shot rockets as long as customers are wiling to pay for them. And that reusable has 30% less capacity. But when reusable rockets comes to the market my guess is that this type payload will go on a reusable Falcon Heavy when the price for that is less than a Falcon 9 one shot. If everything else is the same.
    9. op4000exe: Awesome video :D Thanks for the great video x)
    10. Cameron Burgess: Every successful launch is a step towards the future! #TeamSpaceX

    1. shawkins2424: It looks like Starbucks to me lol
    2. MrLucascanuto: So glad I'm not the only one!
    3. Abbreviated Reviews: I wish there was any thing at all that could make me that excited about my job...
    4. Fred Garvin: That must have been a huge moment for these people. Failure would have put the company out of business. Just a few years later, they began flying steady missions to the ISS.  An enormous accomplishment for small, privately held company that came out of silicon valley.
    5. Nadir Bagaveyev: So they can do filming and mission control won't be distracted by banging on the glass
    6. Joe Walsh: Maybe. But without any of the raw human emotions, of course.
    7. SwedenIsAwesome: That is the coolest mission control room ever.
    8. coldfusionracing: Coolest summer of my life, working on the solar panel system. What a relief that everything is working!!!
    9. Sandro: that's so amazing!!! NASA ♥
    10. llokoja: Why this video make me cry?
