Im in UK, no chance in going to USA unfortunately.
Maybe one day, i get stateside.
Still half an hour from the end. I've seen launches in such windows happen within minutes of window closure.
You have to fucking wonder how Flat Earthers justify live streams like this.
Block 5 off to a flying (and landing) start.
Just the downlink, they'll put out a cleaned up copy sometime soon.
They used to for the first few landings, I guess it became so routine that they stopped bothering. They did for Falcon Heavy, and probably will for this one since the official stream was a lot worse than normal.
Seems like the condensation that built up in the camera might have killed it but we'll see in a few days.
there is a space X app . When its about to start it links you to the youtube stream. Very cool
To be honest that onboard camera wasn't up to much - it was vibrating a lot in the upper atmosphere any time the cool gas jets were operating. I suspect the camera system itself will be replaced with something better soon.
Yep, but with it being the very first launch of the Block 5, I would say only needing to adjust the camera setup at a glance is a great takeaway. Clearly they'll pour over the data from the flight to make sure everything looked solid but it was a very successful flight.
Excited to see them progress this even further.
Wait, wh....oh I see now lol
I closed it down between the 2 Stage 2 burns.
"LOL you can hear the crash as it hits the dome and starts tumbling back to earth. Nice try faking a ball earth with those fish-eye lenses. The CGI after that is okay but not as good as the same studio did in Avatar."
According to a few posters on Reddit, this launch has been a huge deal there - even the smallest bit of news has been widely reported. Seems like a huge moment for them.
I get that part, I was more referring to the "Dear Leader"-ish tone when they were talking about Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (if my half-listening recollection of the video and lame googling are correct.)
I think the important thing to remember is that it's not based on logic. People don't believe the Earth is flat in modern times because they're logical people who are simply missing some key argument or piece of evidence. If they were, they would already realize it's round.
Instead, you have to understand it like any other conspiracy theory -- people believing something because they want to, and as such logic and evidence will never make a difference to a significant number. I think it's probably best just to disregard for the most part, because it'll drive you nuts otherwise.
Yep I did find that interesting. Might need to look into their history to find out more I think.
They would probably say just look at 25:30, clearly the curve is just a camera trick that can go both ways
In general, they just say that video and photo evidence can all be faked/edited, and they'll only believe what they can see with their own eyes
Which goes back to again, it's not a belief based on rational thought, so unfortunately it can't be fought by science and logic for most people.
