Looks like SpaceX is confident about 20 launches now. I expected them to use the oldest ones for Starlink, just to be sure they did not get a bad reputation..
Congratulations to America!
AWESOME!! BRAVO!! MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING!! 👍 🚀 🚀 ❤ ❤ 🙏 🙏 😊
What an achievement !! Great SpaceX.
Sem palavras es gigante e realmente faz a diferença nesse mundo eterna gratidão amo e aprecio tudo que faz em prol da preservação da raça humana eterna gratidão
Perhaps you meant the stage one engines were cut back to reduce the acceleration, prior to stage separation, as the speed would not decrease, in space or near space.
No. That was correct. Meco will shut all engines down. A few second coast and then Sep. There is a drop in acceleration, which would mean they are slowing down. Remember there is still atmosphere at 75km. Look at the telemetry.
Why did the customer required not to show the second stage flight? Isn't Galileo just a gps satellite constellation?
may have other purposes for other organizations - its the customer's choice whether to show or not.
Great job spacex team
Galilei wouldn't like this No Second Stage footage. 😢
Shouldn't this be its "nineteen and a halfth" flight? No booster makes two flights like this one. We could say "launch"... Have the other 20th launches been one-way?
No. This is it's 20th flight. It just hadn't done 20 landings. A flight is a successful launch.
Minus na san katan..waina dugaing?
Going to the Moon for more rocks
Wow
$12
A bit sad for Europe, as this is in part a consequence of bad decisions. OTOH, nice for USA. Well played
SpaceX is the best taxpayers wasted so much money on nasa who has never accomplished anything!
NASA never accomplished anything? Don't tell me, let me guess. You're 11 years old.
Cold war propaganda you idiot it continues today. Keep watching Fox News and continue your brain washing
Kind of cool that Europe has to haul its satellites to America to get them launched into orbit. Go SpaceX
